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

Su Mo noticed this and asked, "A Ning, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to wash up in the river!!"

Aning shouted without turning her head.

"..."

Seeing that A-Ning had already squatted down by the stream, Su Mo swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Su Mo, whose mental state was extraordinary, had already sensed that something was wrong with the stream.

There's a snake in the stream, and it's a pheasant neck!

Su Mo slowly stood up and quietly approached A Ning.

suddenly!

A pheasant suddenly lunged out of the water, its neck snapping open, and lunged at Aning with its large beak.

"Ah Ning, come here quickly!"

Wu Xie, with his keen reconnaissance skills, also noticed the anomaly and shouted as the pheasant's neck leaped out of the water.

"What's wrong?"

Unfortunately, this caused Ah Ning to suddenly turn around without realizing the danger she was in.

Su Mo raised an eyebrow and kicked a stone at his feet, sending it flying toward the neck of the pheasant that was attacking Aning.

"Smack!"

The stone slammed heavily onto the pheasant's neck and head, blood spurting out, and its head was smashed to pieces.

Upon hearing the noise, Ah Ning instinctively turned around to look.

When I saw the carcass of a pheasant's neck floating on the water, I was immediately horrified!

Looking again at the stone "embedded" in the pheasant's neck and head, it was no wonder that it had just walked through the gates of hell.

Ah Ning knew that if it weren't for Su Mo, she would probably be dead already.

Chapter 426: Chen Wenjin Reappears

Upon hearing the noise, Ah Ning instinctively turned around to look.

When I saw the carcass of a pheasant's neck floating on the water, I was immediately horrified!

Looking again at the stone "embedded" in the pheasant's neck and head, how could Aning not know that she had just walked through the gates of hell?

If it weren't for Su Mo, A Ning guessed she would most likely be dead already.

Pheasant necks are different from ordinary venomous snakes. If you are bitten by an ordinary venomous snake, you will definitely have time to treat the bite. But if you are bitten by a pheasant neck, you will die within three seconds, without even time to treat the bite or detoxify!

Thinking about this, Ah Ning felt a chill run down her spine.

"Ah Ning, watch out, to the left!"

Just then, Wang Yueban suddenly shouted again.

Everyone immediately looked at Aning.

Suddenly, a meter-long pheasant neck appeared out of nowhere on Aning's left, leaping through the air and baring its fangs to bite Su Mo.

This time, Ah Ning, having learned her lesson, did not turn back. Instead, she quickly drew her dagger and, using the wind to pinpoint her location, slashed to the left.

Although A Ning's skills are not as good as Zhang Qiling's or Hun Dun's, as Jude Kao's top henchman, her skills are still very impressive.

Ah Ning brandished her dagger, and with one swift stroke, the pheasant's neck was instantly cleaved in two.

At this moment, Aning was also very cautious. Knowing the principle that a snake may die but not fall apart, she quickly kicked out and sent the upper half of the pheasant's neck flying far away.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief again, another pheasant, more than a meter long, lunged at Aning's right calf.

This time, because Aning was located at the bottom of the stream, no one nearby noticed her.

Even Su Mo was secretly calculating whether A Ning had safely weathered her ordeal.

The third pheasant neck surprised everyone; instead of leaping into the air, it went straight for Aning's right calf.

Just as the pheasant was about to bite its neck, Xiao Cun Ding, who also had keen senses, noticed the danger to Aning and turned into a blur as he ran towards her.

In an instant.

Just as the pheasant's neck was about to bite Ah Ning's right calf, Xiao Cun Ding quickly arrived and blocked it, tearing the pheasant's neck into pieces.

Su Mo was also stunned by this series of twists and turns of misfortune!

Thank you…

Ah Ning was sweating profusely, but after a long while, she calmed herself down. "Thank you so much, Master Su, for saving my life!"

Whether it was Su Mo's intervention or Xiao Cun Ding's timely intervention, it was a matter of saving lives.

Su Mo smiled slightly, "You're too kind. It's not like it's the first time I've saved you..."

"..."

Aning was speechless.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Mo said again, "Jude Kao is dead, and Alpha Corporation is gone too. Aning, how about this, bring your men and come with me, what do you say?"

After Chen Chengcheng's death, part of Qiu Dekao's property and connections were inherited by A Ning.

Su Mo has no shortage of wealth.

Su Mo was quite interested in those connections, though!

If we can get Ah Ning to work for us, she will definitely be of great use in the future.

"..."

Su Mo's words made A Ning hesitate.

With the passing of both bosses, Qiu Dekao and Wang Fengqi, Aning knew she was now a lost dog.

Seeking refuge with Su Mo is indeed a good option.

Su Mo's reputation in China is second to none; both the legitimate and underworld figures give him face.

However, the deaths of Aning's two bosses were both inextricably linked to Su Mo!

At this moment, Ah Ning was very conflicted!

Su Mo knew what A Ning was worried about, and laughed, "No rush, I'll give you time to think about it. We can talk about it after the west Wangmu Tomb is finished..."

Ah Ning breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Su Mo would force him to make a decision.

"it is good!"

Ah Ning said, "After this tomb raiding is over, I will definitely give Master Su a satisfactory answer!"

Su Mo nodded slightly.

The area was covered with pheasant necks, so no one dared to linger. They quickly finished their food, slung their backpacks over their shoulders, and walked downstream along the stream.

We walked for another hour or two.

Pan Zi suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, "Master Su, Third Master, look!"

Everyone looked ahead and saw a small lake.

The lake is filled with orderly rows of moss-covered stone pillars.

Looking at the ruins before her, Wang Yueban exclaimed in surprise, "My God, could this be the ruins of the Queen Mother of the West's Palace?!"

"pretty close!"

"The rock we are standing on now should be part of the underwater sculpture."

"The patterns on these are very ancient, and they should be the ruins of the Queen Mother of the West's palace. The underwater stone carvings may be stone carvings from the city's defensive structures!"

"Its purpose is to intimidate the visiting envoys!"

"The Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West was probably a powerful force in that era!"

Wu Xie analyzed the stone carvings at his feet and nearby in an orderly manner.

Su Mo nodded in deep agreement. Don't underestimate the Western Queen Mother Kingdom. Although it has a small population and a small army, it is definitely a dominant force in that era based on the things he has encountered along the way, such as the Corpse Beetle King, the Human-faced Eagle, the Wild Chicken Neck, the Wild Giant Serpent, and a series of other amazing things.

"But…"

Pan Zi asked, puzzled, "How did the Queen Mother of the West's palace end up underwater?"

Wang Yueban boldly guessed: "It is estimated that after the collapse of the Western Queen Mother's Kingdom, this palace was abandoned. Over time, the drainage system failed, groundwater surged up, and silt flowed back in!"

"Whoa!!!"

"The palace sank to the bottom of the water!"

Fatty Wang composed himself and spoke eloquently.

Wang Yueban's words made sense, but Wu Xie did not entirely agree with him. "The scale of the Queen Mother of the West's Palace should be very large. What we are seeing now is only a small part."

"But it's already in the mud underwater, how are we supposed to get in?"

As Wu Xie spoke, he began to think for himself.

"who!"

Suddenly, Su Mo turned his head and shouted towards the bushes on his right.

Sometime later, while everyone was admiring the scenery around them, someone suddenly appeared in the bushes nearby.

Even though the other party didn't make much noise, the exceptionally talented Su Mo still managed to discover their presence!

Everyone thought it was another attack by the pheasant neck, and quickly turned to look.

However, no pheasant neck was found. Instead, a small, muddy figure turned and quickly fled into the ruins lake.

Seeing this, Zhang Qiling drew his Black Gold Ancient Sword and gave chase.

Just as the others were preparing to give chase, A Ning shouted, "Stop chasing! Zhang Qiling is enough on his own. Be careful someone doesn't try to lure us away!"

After Aning finished speaking, everyone who was about to give chase stopped.

Pan Zi said helplessly, "It's too fast, I can't even catch up!"
