Chapter 123 World Four [9]

"Captain, the target of the mission went to that village to film a month ago and stayed for three days and two nights. The target of the mission is currently resting in the hotel. Our people have confirmed with the front desk that the target of the mission has not left the hotel." Another team member added.

"Advisor Wen, should we go to the village first, or go directly to the ancient tomb, or split our forces into two groups?" asked Captain Cheng.

In terms of rank, the specially appointed consultant is at the same level as the deputy director of the branch and the captain, which is half a level higher than Captain Cheng, the captain of the first team.

"I think it should be an ancient tomb. The village has been exposed to the public and is not a suitable place to hide." Wen Ruyue quickly gave the answer.

"Okay, then Consultant Wen and I will go to the ancient tomb, and the other five members of the team will go to the village to check the situation and be ready to take over at any time." Captain Cheng immediately assigned the tasks.

Captain Cheng's arrangements were impeccable. Wen Ruyue, carrying Jing Ke and the kitten, climbed into the passenger seat of the SUV. With the roar of the engine, the SUV sped towards the ancient tomb at breakneck speed.

After running about six kilometers, the originally solid concrete road disappeared, and Captain Cheng drove the off-road vehicle directly onto a three-meter-wide gravel road.

The last section of the road was originally a dirt road, but because of the discovery of the ancient tomb, it was temporarily modified to a width that could accommodate vehicles.

After walking along the winding and slightly bumpy road, the police cordon appeared in the sight of the two people and the cat.

Captain Cheng stepped on the brakes and stopped the car outside the cordon.

Although the ancient tomb has been temporarily cordoned off, the professional archaeological team has not yet arrived, and there are currently only two auxiliary police officers on duty at the entrance.

When they saw a car suddenly rushing towards them, the two auxiliary police officers became extremely alert and asked in a stern voice who the two men were and what they were doing there.

"For matters concerning the Special Management Bureau, you can call your superior." Captain Cheng stuffed the prepared documents into the auxiliary police officer's hand.

Wen Ruyue's movements were a little slow, but she still opened her ID card with the national emblem stamp so that the two auxiliary police officers could see it clearly.

The two auxiliary police officers did not know what the Special Management Bureau was specifically responsible for, but they had heard of this department during training.

I probably know that this is a very special department under the central government, and its actual power is even greater than their law enforcement agencies. When necessary, all departments below the municipal level must cooperate with it.

After confirming that the documents were not forged, the two auxiliary police officers stood at attention and saluted, then took Captain Cheng and Wen Ruyue to the entrance of the ancient tomb.

"At present, we have only confirmed that there is sufficient oxygen at the entrance. The archaeological team has not yet gone down to investigate the situation inside, so we did not go in. The two comrades who go in to handle the matter must pay attention to safety." The older auxiliary police officer was obviously better at handling this kind of thing.

He did not ask Captain Cheng and Wen Ruyue what they were doing here, nor was he curious about why Wen Ruyue came here with a cat in her arms. He just led the way carefully and gave a brief introduction to the ancient tomb.

"Okay, thank you. Our colleagues may come over soon, so please cooperate with them then." Captain Cheng said politely, then turned on the powerful flashlight on his shoulder and jumped down.

"Thank you." Wen Ruyue simply thanked him and followed with Jing Ke, the kitten in her arms.

"It smells very strong of fox. I can't smell your junior sister's scent, but I can be sure that the foundation-building fox must be in there." Jing Ke said.

Wen Ruyue nodded and translated Jing Ke's words.

Captain Cheng's level was not high enough to know Jing Ke's identity, so she thought Jing Ke was just a spirit beast with special abilities.

"Okay, I broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage two years ago. If it's a monster in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, I should be able to help." Captain Cheng said.

Captain Cheng's spiritual roots and talents are very ordinary. She was able to build a foundation only because she worked hard and fought hard enough. By fighting against powerful monsters, she broke through the limitations of her talent and became a cultivator in the foundation-building stage.

"Then Captain Cheng, please fight alongside me." Wen Ruyue said, taking out the weapon that was originally hidden in the storage bag, holding the scabbard and slowly moving forward.

Wen Ruyue did not sense any change in the concentration of spiritual power around her, so she temporarily ruled out the possibility that the ancient tomb was another secret realm.

Judging from the layout of the ancient tomb, the person buried here was definitely not an ordinary wealthy family. He was at least a fourth-rank official in the dynasty at that time, and even received a posthumous title. It seems to be the tomb of a general.

"The smell of fox has become stronger. Pay attention to the environment. Foxes are very good at illusions." Jing Ke reminded, stretching out his claws and waving them forward.

"Captain Cheng, this is a pill that can help you calm your mind. Just in case, you should take one first." Wen Ruyue didn't waste any time and immediately took out the corresponding pill.

"Thank you." Captain Cheng didn't hesitate. He simply smelled the pill and swallowed it.

The ancient tomb covers a large area, and the air becomes thinner as they go deeper, making the two of them feel as if they can't breathe.

Fortunately, they were all cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage. After adapting for five or six minutes, their breathing and heartbeat returned to normal.

"The left side, the smell of fox on the left side is stronger." After the two of them went deep into the room, Jing Ke, who was lying in his arms, couldn't help but stand up and looked to the left front vigilantly.

"Captain Cheng, this way." Wen Ruyue pointed to the range with her left hand, then raised her arm so that Jing Ke could return to her hood.

Jing Ke stepped on Wen Ruyue's shoulder, but she did not get into Wen Ruyue's hood. Instead, she stepped on a protruding stone not far away.

"There is lamp oil here, you can light it." Jing Ke said, and waved his claws towards the candlestick, creating a fire out of thin air.

After one candlestick lit up, more than a dozen nearby candlesticks also ignited spontaneously without fire, dispelling the darkness from the main tomb chamber, which was about 50 square meters in area.

Captain Cheng couldn't help but take another look at the kitten when he saw this. This kitten knew a lot of things. Not only could it identify the smell of monsters and track them, it could even cast small fire spells.

Before Captain Cheng could finish his sigh, the sound of a huge rock moving was heard.

Tsk——

A voice that did not belong to the two people and the cat came from a distance. As a woman in ancient costume wearing a red long skirt appeared, the original wall lamp became brighter and brighter.

"Why are humans so keen on digging up the graves of their ancestors? What's the difference between what you do and tomb robbers?" An ethereal but charming voice came over.

"That is our human's private matter and has nothing to do with you." Captain Cheng said, drawing his sword and pointing it at the woman in red.

"You captured my junior sister and junior brother." Wen Ruyue said, and while drawing her sword, she extended her perception outward.

Wen Ruyue: "If you return my junior sister and brother to me now, today's battle can be avoided, and we may be able to sit down and talk."

"Give it back to you? Then who should I go to to settle the score with them? I just went for a stroll in the human world, and your fellow disciples overestimated their own abilities and wanted to kill me." The woman in red sneered again.

"I should be the one saying these things. If you leave my territory now, I can forgive you two for intruding. But if you insist on not leaving, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After the red-dressed woman finished speaking, a folding fan made of jade appeared in her hand. It was obvious that this was the weapon of the red-dressed woman, the fox demon.

What if we can't reach an agreement? Then we have to resort to violence.

After using their peripheral vision to confirm that Jing Ke Xiaomao was in a safe place, Wen Ruyue and Captain Cheng launched an attack at the same time, rushing towards the woman in red from the left and right.

The red-clothed woman still had an expression of disdain on her face, but there was no trace of contempt in her eyes. Facing the attack of two Foundation Establishment cultivators, even if this was her home ground, she had to treat it with caution.

Jing Ke stood on a high place and assessed the situation. After confirming that his breeder and Captain Cheng could withstand the opponent's attack, he hid his figure and ran in the direction of the woman in red.

Wen Ruyue, who had been distracted by Jing Ke's little cat's movements, subconsciously tightened the knife in her hand. After realizing what Jing Ke was going to do, Wen Ruyue switched from offense to defense, trying to delay the woman in red for a longer time.

-

After running about a hundred meters inside, Jing Ke finally found the scent of Zhu Qiuyu among the fox scent. After easily breaking through the illusion with his claws, he found the two people who were tied up like dumplings and thrown in the corner.

Jing Ke looked around cautiously, and after making sure that no one would suddenly jump out, he walked lightly to Zhu Qiuyu's side.

After seeing Zhu Qiuyu unconscious, Jing Ke used her paw pads to step hard on her face, then her neck and nose, until Zhu Qiuyu slowly woke up.

"Little white tiger!" Zhu Qiuyu, who had just woken up, recognized the little kitten in front of him at a glance and shouted excitedly.

The kitten, maintaining its mimicry, stepped on Zhu Qiuyu's mouth, signaling her to shut up and not speak, so as not to disturb the woman in red who was still in the main tomb chamber.

Zhu Qiuyu reacted quite quickly. He immediately shut his mouth tightly and expressed his meaning with a very firm look.

Don't worry, little white tiger, I have shut up and will never make a sound again.

Jing Ke turned his head to look at Qin Guang who was also unconscious, and chose to use his claws to cut the rope that was trapped on Zhu Qiuyu, and then sat aside to watch the fun.

Zhu Qiuyu, freed from his restraints, immediately climbed up, checked the contents of his storage bag, and immediately took out two pills and swallowed them.

After sitting down and regulating his breath for a while, he used a dagger to cut the rope on Qin Guang's body, grabbed his shoulders and shook him violently.

"Little..." Before Qin Guang could wake up and utter the first word, Zhu Qiuyu quickly covered his mouth and put his index finger to his lips to make a quiet gesture.

After seeing his junior brother nod hard, Zhu Qiuyu moved his hand away, then looked at Jing Ke eagerly, waiting for her to give orders.

Jing Ke wagged his tail, gave Zhu Qiuyu a look, and turned into another road.

Zhu Qiuyu understood Jing Ke's meaning immediately. After waving to Qin Guang, he lightened his steps and followed Jing Ke's little cat's footsteps.

Qin Guang looked intently at Jing Ke Xiaomao who was walking in front, and couldn't help but have an extremely dark thought in his heart.

It would be great if Wen Ruyue could die in the battle against the seven-tailed fox, so that he could take advantage of the opportunity and naturally gain the favor of the divine beast White Tiger.

I am clearly a chosen time traveler and a person with such an excellent physique. I should still be the protagonist of this world.

After thinking of this, a dark light flashed in Qin Guang's eyes.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his idea at all, because in Qin Guang's view, he was the chosen son who knew everyone's future destiny.

He also knew the original Qin Guang's ending. In his opinion, the original Qin Guang was simply an extremely stupid person.

It would have been fine if he hadn't tried his best to cultivate with such a great talent, but he was so keen on being the senior sister's follower. In the end, he only managed to save his life and ended up as an idle elder, and his cultivation level was forever stopped at the foundation-building stage.

As for Zhu Qiuyu and the other two, they were all idiots. Otherwise, why would they risk their lives to help Wen Ruyue resist the thunder tribulation? In the end, their cultivation was completely wasted and they became ordinary people, with only a few hundred years of life left.

The only one who could make Qin Guang look at her in a different light was the senior sister Wen Ruyue. Not to mention her outstanding talent, although she was not good at speaking, she was able to gain many followers and make her group of junior brothers and sisters give everything for her.

And there was the little white tiger. If it weren't for my arrival that allowed the secret realm to be discovered in advance, the little white tiger might have died as planned when it was discovered.

It was my arrival that allowed the little white tiger to wake up early and save its life. It should have signed a contract with me!

The smell of fox has the effect of amplifying inner desires. Qin Guang did not swallow the elixir to regulate his condition at the first time like Zhu Qiuyu, so as time went by, he became more and more unable to control the dark side of his heart.

Zhu Qiuyu, who was walking in front of him, didn't notice that something was wrong with her junior brother. She was just trying to keep up with Jing Ke's pace.

As for Jing Ke Xiaomao herself, she was very sensitive to the outside world. After looking back, she found that Qin Guang's body was entangled in ominous black air, and there were signs of him being possessed by a demon.

Jing Ke hesitated for a while, until she brought the two of them to a safe place, then she pounced like a tiger and scratched Qin Guang's forehead with one claw.

With a scream, the black energy that had originally condensed on Qin Guang became a little lighter, and the ferocious expression on his face turned into a look of helplessness and confusion in a certain moment.
