Jiang Fu glanced at the crowd and whispered, "Let's be careful as we enter the city."
He glanced at Zhao Qixing again, and Zhao Qixing shook his head: Shen Lanshang is not possessed by an evil spirit.
Zhao Qixing followed behind Linghu Lan, observing her every move. Her behavior and actions were all normal, and there was nothing wrong with her complexion. He even secretly placed a peach charm against Linghu Lan's body but did not find anything unusual.
If someone is truly possessed by an evil spirit or something strange, there will definitely be some kind of reaction.
Jiang Fu was certain that Shen Lanshang wasn't possessed by an evil spirit, which meant she truly possessed some skill.
With a wave of his hand, the crowd filed in through the already opened city gate.
Linghu Lan followed behind, two steps behind.
A scream of agony rang out from inside.
A man fell to the ground.
Jiang Fu hurriedly fired two shots in one direction, where the sand was bulging and undulating, clearly indicating that something was moving rapidly through it and heading into the distance.
Linghu Lan raised her hand and fired a shot, stopping the thing in the sand pile.
The crowd quickly lifted the fallen man up; his face was already black, and he was clearly dead.
What just happened?
"As soon as we came in, we were all looking around when a long snake jumped out of the rock over there and bit him."
The crowd's spirits immediately plummeted. They had only just entered the ancient city and already lost one person; they all felt that the journey was fraught with peril.
"Brother Jiang, what do you say?"
“Jiang Fu! We came to this ancient city seeking wealth, but before we even got rich, people have already died. This is not a safe place to be.”
The speaker was older and named Gu Peng. He used to be a tomb raider, and the dead man was his underling.
Last night, after listening to Linghu Lan and Jiang Fu's words, he felt uneasy. With another person dying, he was worried. The reason he could rob so many tombs unscathed was because of his intuition, which is experience.
Jiang Fu did not answer. He stepped forward, picked up a stick, and pried open the sand pile, revealing a long snake lying inside that was almost exactly the same color as the sand.
The snake had been struck in the head by Linghu Lan and was already dead.
Jiang Fu felt heavy-hearted. Even as a layman, he could tell that the marksmanship was superb.
He thought for a moment and said, "Snakes are called 'little dragons' in folk religion. The Ghost Mother Kingdom worships the coiled dragon, so it's perfectly normal to have snakes here. We should just be careful."
"Ha!" Gu Peng said irritably, "Tomb raiding isn't something you can do just by being careful. You're still too green. I bet there are a lot of snakes in such a big ancient city. No matter how careful you are, you can't stop them from multiplying."
Jiang Fu was annoyed by being called naive. "Everyone who comes to the ancient city is here to make money. If it were easy to make money, you wouldn't be here. Tighten your trouser legs, pick up a few sticks, and drive away the snakes as you go."
Ming Xiao glanced at everyone and hurriedly said, "The day before yesterday, I saw that there were many treasures buried under the ancient city. As long as we enter the ancient city and find the Ghost Mother's underground palace, there are so many gold and silver treasures inside. It will definitely not be a wasted trip for everyone. In the medicine box we prepared when we came, there is some insect repellent. Please share it and take precautions first."
Last night, she figured it out: if she and her family were truly cursed, then the way to break the curse must be within the Ghost Mother Kingdom, and she alone could not possibly enter the Ghost Mother Kingdom.
After she finished speaking, she hurriedly took out the items to distribute.
After Gu Peng took it, he didn't say anything more.
Linghu Lan also applied some insect repellent, and her whole body had a spicy smell.
