In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

Although the young man didn't explain himself clearly, everyone knew that what he really meant was to determine the location of the burial site.

However, not everyone knows how to determine the location of a burial site.

Among the five of them, even the arrogant Uncle Tai's tomb raiding skills were only third-rate. The reason he was able to make a name for himself was entirely due to his boldness, recklessness, and fearlessness of death!

As for meridian differentiation and acupoint location, I wouldn't even dare to think about it.

That's the skill of the tomb raiders!

For example, Master Hu and Master Zhang in the capital are super big shots in the tomb raiding world, and even the Nine Gates dare not underestimate them.

Old Li waved his hand, "Oh, actually, it's not really a secret."

"This matter is related to my ancestors; there's a record of it in our family genealogy..."

"It is said to have happened during the Northern Wei Dynasty, a time of great chaos and constant warfare!"

"Emperors and noble families come and go in turn, not to mention ordinary people..."

“My ancestor was only six years old when he had to go out to herd sheep to support the family.”

"Once, on his way home, our ancestor saw an army camp ahead. Helpless, he could only hide. After some time, a cavalry force suddenly charged in, attacked the camp, and slaughtered everyone!"

"Later, my ancestor was lucky, and because he lived far away, he was never discovered."

"This battle lasted until dawn. My ancestor was too young and never managed to tell which side won and which side lost!"

"Only after all the soldiers had withdrawn did my ancestor dare to crawl out of the bushes, but he was immediately stunned when he emerged—the ground was littered with corpses!"

"My ancestor carefully crossed the battlefield, but suddenly someone on the ground grabbed his ankle!"

"My ancestor was terrified; he thought he was going to die this time!"

"As it turned out, the wounded soldier just asked my ancestor for water, so my ancestor took off his water bottle and fed him some water."

"Then, the soldier took out a piece of cloth and handed it to my ancestor, and then died on the spot!"

“My ancestor was so scared that he dropped the kettle, grabbed a cloth, and ran home.”

"When my ancestor grew up, he was conscripted into the army and fought on the battlefield for many years. He gradually made some contributions and became a captain. It was only then that he heard that the battle near his home was fought by the Grand Marshal who sent troops to hunt down a minor prince."

"And the troops protecting the young prince are no ordinary troops; they are the troops known as the 'Silent Cavalry'!"

"..."

Everyone felt as if they were listening to gibberish, their faces filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Uncle Tai's sycophant, the young man scratched his head, puzzled, "The Silent Knight? Wait... why does that name sound so strange?"

"Ha ha…"

Boss Li laughed loudly and explained, "Silent means exactly what it says. They can't speak; this entire army, from the general to the soldiers, is mute..."

"Only a team like this can keep a secret!"

Confidential?

Uncle Tai's henchman continued, "What secrets?"

Boss Li was silent for a moment, then said, "These 'Silent Riders' are all involved in digging up people's ancestral graves. Every time they find a burial site..."

"We're not in a hurry to dig out the treasures inside. Instead, we'll note their location and come back to dig them out when we need them later!"

Uncle Tai seemed to remember something and exclaimed in surprise, "So, the cloth your ancestor used to record all the ancient tombs!"

Mr. Li nodded.

……

Su Mo and the others heard the conversation around the campfire very clearly, especially the "Silent Rider" mentioned by Boss Li.

Chaos looked at Su Mo and said, "Master Su, this Silent Cavalry seems similar to the Tomb Raiders formed by Cao Cao..."

"It's more than just 'almost'..."

Su Mo nodded, "The 'Bu Yan Qi' also belongs to the category of official corruption, which is similar to Cao Cao's 'Mojin Xiaowei' (tomb raiders). If these people know the art of locating tombs and finding auspicious sites, they are 'Mojin Xiaowei'!"

In other words, the Unspeakable Cavalry is essentially a lower-tier version of the Tomb Raiders.

The fat man chuckled, "Naive...a bunch of mute tomb raiders, just like Mute Zhang...hehe..."

He chuckled, couldn't help but shake his body, and found a comfortable position to sit down again.

Having roamed the martial world for many years, Uncle Tai immediately sensed something was amiss. Looking at the spot where Su Mo and his group were hiding, he barked, "Who's lurking around like that?"

Chapter 272: Is there really a bronze tree over 100 meters tall?

Who's lurking around like that?

Hearing Uncle Tai's reprimand, everyone quickly stood up.

No one dared to be careless!

After all, what they're doing is getting themselves arrested.

If they make one wrong move, their future will be in jeopardy.

"..."

The four villains glared at Wang Yueban with hostility, cursing inwardly.

I was enjoying the story, why are you causing trouble?

Su Mo was also speechless. The little fat boy's mischievous personality was really comparable to his master, Wang Kaixuan.

The five men, including Uncle Tai, quickly drew their pistols by the campfire and became alert.

Chaos and the others looked at Su Mo and asked him if he would make a move.

Su Mo did not rush to answer Chaos, but turned his head to look to the side, his golden eyes gazing into the distance.

Just then, the sound of rustling footsteps came from a hundred meters away.

Su Mo raised an eyebrow, "Wait... there might be a patrol team!"

Beside the campfire, Uncle Tai and the others slowly walked up the hillside with guns in hand.

Just then, the old man wearing glasses behind them also noticed the jungle and the flashlight beam, and quickly called out, "The patrol team is here! Get out of here quickly, quick, quick!"

Although the patrol team was equipped with homemade hunting rifles, and Uncle Tai never took them seriously, the patrol team was, after all, government officials. If they were to fight them, they would be forced to live in hiding for the rest of their lives.

After much deliberation, Uncle Tai decided that leaving was the best course of action.

The five men turned around and extinguished the campfire!

They even abandoned their camping tents and left with their luggage.

On the hillside.

Su Mo kicked Wang Xiaopangzi and cursed, "Can't you behave yourself? If you keep going like this, you'll definitely get into big trouble in the future!"

"Teaching you so many skills is completely useless; you should focus on tempering your temperament!"

"If there's a next time, you fucking get the hell out of here!"

Not satisfied with just kicking him, Su Mo kicked him twice more.

"Let's get out of here first, find a place to rest, and then follow their tracks tomorrow during the day. I'm sure they can't have gone far at night!"

After Su Mo finished speaking, he chose a direction and began to evacuate, avoiding the Qinling patrol team.

The four ferocious beasts quickly followed.

Wang Yue lay on the ground, a little dazed from the kick, but he knew he had just messed things up.

Wu Xie helped Wang Pangzi up. "Let's go!"

……

Su Mo and his companions spent the night in the Qinling Mountains. When dawn broke, they ate some compressed biscuits and continued their pursuit, following the footprints of the five people.

Another day has passed.

The forest paths left everyone completely bewildered.

Wu Xie asked, "Where is this?"

After walking for a while, the group suddenly saw two mountain people ahead.

One male and one female.

The two should be a couple; the man is carrying a shoulder pole, and the woman is carrying a bamboo basket.

At this moment, the two mountain villagers also discovered Su Mo and his companions.

The woman immediately shouted, "Hey, you guys, what are you doing here?"

Just as Wu Xie was about to respond, Su Mo pulled out a thousand yuan and handed it to him, saying, "We were bored in the city, and we heard there was treasure here, so we came out to explore!"

"Actually, we didn't even have a treasure map; we were just doing it for fun..."

"We've been traveling through the mountains for two days now. I wonder if there's a village nearby where we can rest, buy some food, and have a proper meal!"

Upon hearing this, the two mountain dwellers felt a little less wary.

After all, there are countless people who explore the Qinling Mountains every year.

Many died here without even knowing why.

The villagers in the nearby small villages were already used to this kind of thing.

However... 1000 yuan is a huge sum of money!

The woman gave her husband a wink, and he immediately understood, saying, "Come on, come on, I'll take you to our village..."

The man quickly put the money away. "My name is Dashan. Just follow me..."

Su Mo and the others followed the Da Shan couple to a wooden house.

This wooden house is built four or five meters off the ground.

The only way to get up there is by climbing a wooden ladder.

Seemingly noticing everyone's confusion, Su Mo explained, "Only in this way can we guard against some wild animals..."

Everyone suddenly realized what Su Mo was talking about and secretly admired his extensive knowledge.
