Kunlun Mountains
The terrain here is rugged and the climate is cold.
To reach the tomb of King Qi, one must cross a valley known as "Death Valley".
Death Valley, as the name suggests, is a place where any living creature that steps into the valley will die inexplicably.
Locals say that a demon lives in the valley and eats people and animals that pass by.
Gu Jueye, along with Gu Jin, Rong Yi, and others, encountered trouble in Death Valley.
That past remains a painful scar that Gu Jueye is unwilling to revisit.
This time, they traveled in a spaceship, flying directly over the valley.
Inside, there is a 360-degree circular observation screen, which captures the entire view outside without any blind spots.
At this moment, the spaceship was flying very slowly, only five or six meters above the ground.
As you fly over the valley, you can clearly see many skeletons scattered throughout the valley.
Among them are human remains as well as animal remains.
Bai Qianmo looked at the man beside her.
At this moment, he stared blankly at the big screen.
Bai Qianmo knew that he must have been recalling that past event.
"Fifth Brother, how much longer until we reach the Qi King's Tomb?"
Gu Jueye's clear eyes trembled slightly as he turned his head to look at Bai Qianmo.
"Soon, after we cross the valley we will reach the entrance to the tomb. There is a tomb-raiding hole on the northwest side of the tomb, which should have been dug by the Mo family and the Yin family together. We will go down and enter directly from there."
Gu Jueye reached out and grasped Bai Qianmo's hand: "When we go down into the tomb, you must stay close to me. We might meet them after we go down."
Bai Qianmo nodded.
It seems a fierce battle is about to begin.
"We've arrived. Prepare to land," Osawa announced, and everyone's eyes turned to the large screen.
They stopped near a hillside. Looking down from the air, the hillside, nestled in the valley, resembled a tiger crouching on the ground, ready to bare its fangs and attack its prey at any moment.
Bai Qianmo knew a little about feng shui. The terrain here was very similar to the "White Tiger Coiling Mountain Cave" described in ancient books. Although the valley outside was called the Valley of Death, and it was difficult for the living to enter, this place was definitely a feng shui treasure land for the dead to bless their descendants.
King Qi was a prince and general, so it was quite fitting for him to be buried at this time.
The doors swung open, and the elevator slowly descended.
Gu Jueye reminded everyone, "Please wear gas masks. Death Valley is full of poisonous creatures. Every blade of grass and every tree could be deadly. Please be careful."
Because Gu Jueye was the only one among them who had visited the Qi King's Tomb, he was the most familiar with the surrounding environment.
The group put on their respective gas masks.
Everyone put on their backpacks and, starting with Gu Teng, walked down the elevator one by one.
Bai Qianmo followed Gu Jueye down the ladder, and Gu Jueye stood beside the ladder.
"Guard this post for me."
Bai Qianmo was slightly taken aback, then obediently placed her hand in his broad, warm palm.
They are currently located deep within the Kunlun Mountains, where the temperature is around minus ten degrees Celsius.
Bai Qianmo felt that even though she had made preparations in advance and was wearing a thick windproof jacket, she could still feel the biting cold constantly surging in as she stood here.
Gu Jueye took her hand and walked ahead first.
Daze, Guteng, Fangshu, and several subterranean people that Daze brought also followed closely behind.
The group circled around to the north side of the hillside and, based on Gu Jueye's memory, quickly found a tomb robber's hole.
The cave is about one meter deep, and an adult can only enter by crawling.
Gu Jueye was about to go in first when Fang Shu walked over.
"Master, you need to take care of Qianmo, so I'll go in first."
Bai Qianmo: ……
She's not that weak.
Gu Jueye glanced at Bai Qianmo and saw her frown, her little face seemingly showing a look of dissatisfaction.
He chuckled softly.
When he looked at Fang Shu, he reverted to his usual indifferent and cold demeanor.
Fang Shu was so distressed that he thought his eyes had just been hallucinating.
Fang Shu turned on his professional flashlight and was the first to enter the cave, followed by Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo, and then Gu Teng, Da Ze and the others followed one after another.
Not long after Bai Qianmo and the others entered the tunnel, a group of people slowly walked over from a distance.
The sky was a grayish-white color, and the group had already reached the entrance of the tomb.
"They've gone in. Your Highness, should we follow them in?"
The man in the lead stared at the hole in the tomb for a moment with his deep eyes.
"Keep following them."
"yes!"
*
Bai Qianmo, Gu Jueye, and the others descended along the tunnel. The tunnel was very narrow with few gaps, so it took them more than ten minutes to reach the other end of the tunnel.
At this end of the opening, you can already see the blue bricks used to build the tomb chamber.
"Master, we've arrived," Fang Shu reminded him, turning around.
He took a fluorescent light out of his bag and threw it down. Only one second passed between the time it fell and the sound it made, indicating that the drop was not deep.
"I'll go down and check first. If there are no problems, you can follow me."
Gu Jueye didn't speak. He had been here alone before, so he was familiar with the environment inside the tomb.
They have now reached the vicinity of the tomb entrance.
"Come down."
After jumping down, Fang Shu shouted upwards.
The group jumped down one after another.
The height from the cave entrance to the burial chamber is about four meters, which was a piece of cake for them.
