Jiang Fu grabbed the sheepskin bag and ran towards the flower bushes, where he indeed saw Shen Lanshang standing smiling on the opposite side of the bushes.
"Chen Lanshang!!!"
Hearing that clenched-teeth sound, Linghu Lan couldn't help but laugh; she'd probably really stirred up a lot of hatred this time.
“Chen Lanshang, damn it…” another person shouted angrily, jumping up and down.
Before he could finish speaking, "bang!" a bullet pierced his mouth. The man's eyes widened, and he fell backward, blood gushing from the hole in the back of his head.
Linghu Lan blew on the smoke from the muzzle of her gun and laughed, "Even tomb raiders should have some manners. Even if you hate me, please restrain yourself."
Control your mother's egg!!!
Zhao Qixing swallowed the curse words that were on the tip of his tongue, pulled out his gun to retaliate, but Linghu Lan's gun was already pointed at him.
"Bang!" Linghu Lan fired the shot.
Jiang Fu shoved Zhao Qixing, and a bullet whizzed past his ear.
The two rolled away and hid, both thinking the same thing: Shen Lanshang's marksmanship is terrifyingly accurate!
Hidden by the flowers, Linghu Lan couldn't see the two of them, but she smiled. "Jiang Fu, there's a big surprise waiting for you later. You'll be pleasantly surprised."
Jiang Fu was seething with anger. "Surprise? More like shock!"
He took a deep breath and said, "Shen Lanshang, I don't know where I offended you, but if you name a condition, as long as I can meet it, I will definitely agree to it."
After waiting for a long time, I still didn't receive a reply.
Jiang Fu risked raising his head, but there was no one in sight from the flower bushes. Shen Lanshang had left!
Zhao Qixing also stood up, secretly spitting out his own words. "Brother Jiang, what should we do?"
Jiang Fu did not answer. He looked at the powder in his hand and felt a chill run down his spine. What kind of fright awaited him ahead?
...
Linghu Lan walked through the dense white forest, where the trees were dozens of meters tall. At the very top of the forest, a large black bird moved about but ignored her. Linghu Lan sniffed herself: "How awful!"
These are the fruits of this white tree. The tree smells very sweet, but the fruit it produces smells terrible. The saying "too much of a good thing" certainly holds true.
These black birds have teeth similar to those of carnivores. Linghu Lan guessed that they must be an ancient species that has gone extinct and can only be seen in this secluded deep forest.
These birds like to perch on white trees, but they dislike the fruit of those trees.
Linghu Lan was able to successfully cross the dense forest thanks to this fruit.
Then, she walked through a long corridor, carefully avoiding various traps, and finally arrived at a magnificent palace.
Where a plaque should have been hung in the palace, a lifelike coiled dragon was carved instead.
In the center of the main hall is a bronze statue of a woman, holding a sword in one hand and a flying viper in the other.
This is the Demon Mother!
When Linghu Lan saw the image of the Ghost Mother, she felt an instinctive disgust.
Based on her intuition and Shen Lanshang's archaeological knowledge, the Ghost Mother did not believe in the Panlong as she claimed, but rather was above the Panlong. This can be seen from the design and layout of the underground palace.
If the Ghost Mother truly believed in and revered the coiled dragon, then the dragon's statue should be placed in the main hall, not at the entrance. In this way, the dragon would appear as a guard, and she would be the true ruler of this place.
Linghu Lan continued walking towards the back. The side halls on both sides contained some burial objects. In the story, Jiang Fu and Ming Xiao overcame the dangers ahead, looted the wealth in the palace, and finally found the palace's drainage system. They successfully escaped the Ghost Mother Kingdom by waterway along the drainage system.
