But--
When these women told him that the gunman had been able to remain hidden in the shadows, it was because a large number of insects had been summoned there beforehand.
Therefore, there were far fewer insects a kilometer away. In addition, when they chased after him, they found that the gunman had insect repellent powder on him, which allowed him to hide.
Normally, this insect repellent powder wouldn't be very effective, but since there are fewer insects around here...
Moreover, this gunman entered before the Miao family activated their secret formation.
Upon hearing this, Ah Chen was filled with rage.
Ah Yin said, "Brother Ah Chen, these gunmen are the remnants of the wave we encountered yesterday."
"Um!"
Ah Chen instructed the grass demon girls on the outer edge to intensify their efforts and help the Black Miao Granny find the gunman.
"Yes. Don't worry, Brother Chen, we have strengthened our defenses."
Actually, the one who should feel the most ashamed is Miao Jun.
Miao Jun never expected that outsiders could hide so close to them in the deep mountains of their Miao region.
Even though they knew that the most venomous insects in the area had come this way before, it gave the thief an opportunity.
But they felt ashamed that this happened.
Mu Achen remained silent, but his expression was chillingly cold.
It wasn't until after dusk that the Black Miao woman returned.
Behind the old woman were two men, around thirty years old, who were barely alive. They had camouflage paint on their faces and tattoos on their necks.
"Boom!"
The old woman threw the two backpacks on the ground. "Achen, these are their things!"
"Grandma, they--"
The two men looked exactly like Guan Ling before them; without a doubt, they had fallen under the old woman's spell.
Sure enough, the old woman said, "They still have one dog's life left, which is for you, Ah Chen!"
"I've already asked them, they're also here to search for treasure. They shot you because you looked familiar!"
"Because they saw your photo with someone called 'Sixth Master' in Shanghai. This time, they came to my Miao region because this Sixth Master hired them."
Sixth Master?
Ah Chen was completely bewildered; he didn't recognize this person at all.
"These are their ID cards."
Ah Chen took the ID card from the old woman, glanced at it, and then put it away.
He drew his Miao sword, stepped forward, and slashed down fiercely.
hiss--
Ahh!
After the sound of wind breaking, two screams rang out.
Mu Achen vented his anger with great satisfaction.
Two dog lives, ended there.
As for that "Sixth Master" in Shanghai, Mu Achen will go after him when he has the time.
After this little episode—
Night quietly fell.
Deep in the mountains.
The mountain night was deep and quiet, dotted with countless stars.
All was silent except for the chirping of insects.
Late at night, news finally came from inside the cave.
The danger has been completely eliminated; Ah Chen and the others can go inside now.
In this valley, the Miao soldiers and the grass ghosts all carried torches, and the firelight illuminated the entire valley.
With his left arm in a sling and his right hand gripping the hilt of a Miao sword, Mu Achen entered the cave with an imposing aura, led by the guards and protected by the Miao army commanders, and surrounded by several jackals.
There are many branching paths inside the cave.
At every intersection, there were traces of blood, more or less.
Mu Achen glanced at it by the light of the torch and realized that it shouldn't be the blood of the sisters; it must be the blood of insects.
Besides, there were still many insects that had been killed on the ground.
After turning left and right for about twenty minutes, Mu Achen and the others spotted Amo's figure in another corridor.
At that moment, Amo was waiting at the entrance of the stone hall ahead. As soon as Achen arrived, she quickly came over.
"Ah Chen, how are you feeling now? Does it still hurt?"
"I'm fine. Are you alright?"
While Amo was concerned about Achen, Achen was also worried about his wife, and he looked her up and down while asking her questions.
Upon seeing the bloodstains on Amo Miao's clothes, he hurriedly asked, "Where are you injured?"
"This isn't mine, it belongs to the big bug."
"oh!"
As long as Amo isn't injured, Achen doesn't care whether it's a big bug or a small bug.
In the remote mountains of the Miao people, there's not much else, but there are plenty of insects.
After that, they entered the stone hall.
This stone hall is very large, probably five or six hundred square meters.
Three elders and grandmothers were counting the several large wooden boxes piled up in front of the stone wall.
As soon as Achen arrived, the clan elder came over immediately.
“Ah Chen, if it weren’t for you this time, we two Miao regions would never have found this treasure that our ancestors kept.”
"Achen, with you in Miao territory, we will surely be able to continue the glory of the past."
"Ah Chen, ---"
The three elders couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Fortunately, they discovered in time that Achen had the potential to become the Miao King; otherwise, if they had been a step too late, Xiangxi would have been seized.
Thank goodness!
You have to act fast.
But when they saw that Ah Chen only nodded slightly and didn't say anything else, they were somewhat taken aback.
He wondered if it was that damned gunman who had appeared earlier, otherwise why was Ah Chen not happy at all?
Little did they know, Ah Chen was seething with anger inside.
Because he didn't know that "Sixth Master of Shanghai".
To be shot by someone sent by another party for no reason, and to have one's own portrait still in their possession, is something that makes me incredibly upset.
"By the way, Ah Chen, all the gold and silver are being counted. This is the list of what was stored back then. Take a look."
Ah Chen took it.
After reading it, his expression finally changed.
The contents included 4.68 million taels of silver, 1.38 million taels of gold, over 600 pieces of various jewels and precious items, as well as cold weapons such as knives, swords, shields, and spears, and a great deal of gunpowder.
In addition --
This wealth is truly astonishing.
More than two hundred years ago, how much gold and silver did their Miao ancestors plunder from the Qing court to be able to amass so much as funds for their uprising?
If the commander at the time hadn't met with an accident, then now---
Furthermore, this underground hall also contains several top-level secret manuals of Miao territory, rare secret techniques, and other secret recipes that are not passed on to outsiders.
Some of these techniques had been lost for hundreds of years.
This is true wealth.
After reading it, Achen pointed to the list on the last page and said to the clan elders, "It is clearly recorded here that one-third of this wealth comes from Xiangxi. You can see the specific amounts on it."
"There are also secret manuals stored there, some of which have been lost in western Hunan for hundreds of years."
The three elders have already reviewed it; now they are simply checking if the numbers match.
When Achen mentioned this, Mi Aling, along with their grandmother from Xiangxi and several core female members of the Grass Demon Clan, arrived.
Ah Chen said, "Don't worry, it belongs to your Xiangxi region. You can take it after the investigation is over."
After he finished speaking, Achen asked Amo and the three elders if they had any objections.
