Neither Snake King nor Huo Yingjie wanted to show their faces, as it would cause inconvenience to their future lives; disappearing was the best option.
Huo Yingjie and Snake King originally wanted to kill these two people, but thinking of He Tiantian, that kind-hearted person, they both gave up the idea of killing them.
Leaving directly is the simplest method.
Then, that fatal attraction will disappear.
"Heavens!" Hua Shan exclaimed, "Uncle-Master, am I seeing things?"
"You didn't! Hurry up and chase after them!" Cui Heng flew towards the entrance, ignoring Mount Hua behind him.
Huashan dared not linger; he wondered how his junior sister was doing outside!
Huo Yingjie and Snake King arrived at the top and saw four tomb raiders groping the unconscious Cui Ying.
Upon seeing someone appear, Lu Lao Er became anxious, thinking it was the two people he had encountered before. He was about to call for them to leave when he froze in place.
Although the Snake King did not want to meddle in other people's business, he thought of how Cui Ying had seen them before, so he waved his long arm and erased the memory of that moment from Cui Ying's mind, as well as the memories of these tomb raiders about them.
The Snake King took several detonators from the tomb raiders and threw them out not far from the cave entrance.
"Boom!" Several loud noises rang out, and the cave seemed about to collapse.
Just as Cui Heng emerged from the tomb, Hua Shan quickly carried Cui Ying away. As for the tomb raiders, they woke up two minutes later than Cui Ying.
When they woke up, they found that they were in a lot of pain, as rocks kept falling down from the cave and hitting them.
However, they didn't have time to think about that; they quickly packed their belongings and left as soon as possible.
The commotion here is quite loud; those people halfway up the mountain must have heard it already. Staying here any longer will only land them in jail.
The infantry company near the archaeological team heard the sound from the mountain and immediately recognized it as the sound of detonators exploding. They immediately led their men up the mountain.
Qi Ling and the others followed along. With so many people this time, they were sure they could catch those tomb raiders.
The five people walked slowly and unsteadily; at this pace, they wouldn't go very far.
"Throw the stuff down and let's escape with all our might." Lu Lao Er made a decisive decision, sacrificing his wealth for his life.
Ma Si was reluctant to part with them, saying, "Second Brother Lu, these are all things we've worked hard to earn. If we don't take them with us, our trip will have been in vain."
“You idiot, there are hundreds of people down there, not just those few policemen from before. If you’re carrying this much stuff, you won’t be able to run fast, and you’ll definitely get caught,” Lu Lao Er said. “Once you get caught, you can expect to rot in jail.”
After Lu Lao Er finished speaking, he threw down the sack he was carrying.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
Seeing Lu Lao Er like this, the others also threw down the sacks they were carrying.
“Those guys are coming soon. We can’t win a direct fight. We’ll split up and escape, then meet up at Huai’s train station,” Lu Lao Er said. “Brothers, you go first, I’ll cover you.”
Ma Si was taken aback, but also very moved, and said, "Second Brother, you lead the brothers now, I'll stay behind."
Lu Lao Er shook his head and said, "You are my brothers who have gone through thick and thin with me, so you go first. Let's make this clear from the beginning: if anyone dies or goes in, then the people who escape must help the wives, children, and elders of the brothers who died or went in."
The four people were deeply moved upon hearing this.
"Thank you, Second Brother. Whoever gets out alive will bear more responsibility, and whoever goes in must not betray their brothers," Ma Si said. "The five of us will split up and escape."
Lu Lao Er was behind, watching the four people in front of him escape in different directions.
Once the man was out of sight, Lu Lao Er took out more than a dozen jade pendants from the sack, put them on his person, and fled under the cover of night.
He never chooses gold or silver when selecting things, because those things are too heavy.
This path was Lu Lao Er's pre-prepared escape route, and he jogged away.
Company Commander Wang led his men over, collected four sacks of goods, and continued the pursuit.
Upon arriving at the cave, Huo Yingjie said, "Keep this safe and don't use it for now. After all, with your current abilities, you can't fully utilize this treasure."
The Snake King understood, but he was a little reluctant to part with it. At the same time, he was worried that his barrier would not be able to block the spiritual energy emanating from the golden jade robe.
Seeing the Snake King's hesitation and knowing his sensitive and arrogant heart, Huo Yingjie smiled maliciously and said, "Your barrier can't block spiritual energy, so I'll give you one."
"You're really that kind?" The Snake King was skeptical and didn't appreciate it.
"You don't appreciate kindness," Huo Yingjie said. "If you're unwilling, then forget it."
"Wait!" the Snake King said hastily, "If you're willing to help me, I'll reluctantly accept."
"Hehe, that's too much to ask of you. You'd better not force yourself." Huo Yingjie sneered. If it weren't for He Tiantian, he wouldn't have been so shameless as to say that, even though he had ulterior motives.
The Snake King panicked and regretted his words. He stood in front of Huo Yingjie and said, "Fine, I admit defeat. Please help me."
"Heh!" Huo Yingjie sneered, looking at the Snake King with disdain for "making a fool of himself."
The Snake King was frustrated, but he needed Huo Yingjie's help.
If he is not satisfied now, he will have to pay a higher price to get Huo Yingjie's help.
Huo Yingjie made a hand seal with both hands and drew a few strokes in the air, creating an additional barrier on top of the Snake King's original barrier.
After last night, Huo Yingjie left without a trace.
After hiding the jade robe, the Snake King began his cultivation.
Looking back at the direction of the cave from the air, Huo Yingjie sneered, "Let you be arrogant. Don't even think about coming out until your cultivation has greatly improved. Just stay inside."
After leaving the tomb, Cui Heng, Hua Shan, and Cui Ying did not return but instead searched for something.
But when they found their way to Peach Garden, they discovered that the allure had vanished.
"Uncle-Master, what should we do?" Hua Shan asked anxiously, lacking the patience of Cui Heng.
“You two will have to stay here and investigate this matter. I feel that it has a great connection with the people of Qijia Village below,” Cui Heng said. “Be careful, the soldiers are chasing us now, don’t be mistaken for suspects.”
Huo Yingjie flashed by, leaving only a wisp of wind behind.
Cui Heng, Cui Ying, and Hua Shan followed closely behind.
But it was all in vain; they couldn't catch up with Huo Yingjie.
After returning home, Huo Yingjie lay down to rest, as if he hadn't done anything.
Cui Heng, Hua Shan, and Cui Ying could only return home separately.
When Director Yang ran into Cui Heng, he asked, "Cui Heng, where have you been? Something terrible has happened. You'd better come up the mountain with me right away."
Cui Heng quickly apologized, saying, "Director, I had an upset stomach and went to the toilet. What's wrong? What happened?"
Director Yang stamped his foot and cursed, "They're all those damned tomb raiders! Let's talk as we walk."
Director Yang led the archaeologists to the actual tomb-raiding hole that the tomb raiders had dug.
Upon seeing this, Director Yang was so angry that he jumped up and down, cursing the heavens and the earth!
But cursing won't do any good now, all we can do is get angry. Hopefully, the soldiers and police can catch those damned tomb raiders!
