Xiang Qian followed Er Yuehong to the Hong residence. The moment he entered the main door, the butler of the Hong residence came up to greet him.
"Second Master is back, and so is Master Xiang? Madam has been talking about Lord Xiang a lot these few days. Lord Xiang, please come in. I'll inform Madam that Lord Xiang is here.”
The butler greeted Hong and Xiang Qian before rushing to the backyard to inform the servant girl that Xiang Qian was here.
"Mr. Xiang, please come in. When the girl comes out later, let her cook a few dishes for us. The girl's cooking skills are still very good. When the time comes, let's have a few drinks to express our gratitude to you.”
Er Yue Hong said to Xiang Qian as he led him inside.
"Is that so? Then I'm going to have a good taste."
Xiang Qian followed Er Yuehong to the living room. The servant girl was already waiting for them.
"Mr. Xiang, welcome to our house. Second Master and I have been saying that we want to visit you, but we didn't have the chance. This time, you can come to our house to work. You must stay a few more days.”
"This time, I really have to disturb you for a few more days. When the time comes, I hope that the girl won't despise me. Haha."
"Hehe, Lord Xiang really likes to joke. Hurry up and sit down. Let's start eating.”
That night, February Hong and Xiang Qian talked a lot and vomited a lot. Xiang Qian did not know why Er Yuehong drank so much today. Perhaps he had been tortured by the girl's illness for too long? After all, February Hong was the most devoted of the Nine Sects. The two of them drank until midnight. In the end, Er Yuehong drank until he was unconscious on the table.
After drinking, Xiang Qian helped the servant girl send Er Yuehong back to his room. He returned to his guest room to cultivate under the guidance of the butler. Xiang Qian had a feeling that perhaps after this tomb trip, his mysterious cultivation technique would break through to the second level.
During the three days of waiting, Xiang Qian had been staying at Er Yuehong's house. During the day, he cultivated martial arts techniques and drank with Er Yuehong at night. After drinking, he would return to his room to cultivate the mysterious cultivation technique.
Early that morning, the five people that Zhang Qishan had sent to follow Xiang Qian to the tomb arrived at the Hong residence.
" Greetings, Mr. Xiang. My name is Zhang Fan, and I'm the team leader of the group that came this time. Lord Zeng has already instructed us to listen to everything you say, so please feel free to tell us if you have any requests or needs.”
" Zhang Fan, I'll remember that. I don't have any requests, but you must listen to my orders after you set off. You're not allowed to act on your own. I promised Lord Zeng that I would try my best to bring all of you back.”Xiang Qian walked up to Zhang Fan and patted him on the shoulder before sitting down on a chair.
Since the Zhang family's people had already arrived, it meant that today was the day of departure. Therefore, Xiang Qian did not practice martial arts anymore.
They waited until noon. February Hong had also gathered the five workers who were going to follow them into the tomb.
Er Yuehong brought five people over to meet up with the Zhang family. Then, he and Xiang Qian went to the hall to eat with the servant girl.
"Second Master, how long will it take for you to come back from the tomb with Lord Xiang and the other heads of the families?”
"I can't say for sure, but it should be very fast. After all, the elites of the Nine Gates are dispatched this time, and there's also Lord Xiang.”
"Don't, don't bring me along when you two are chatting. I'm just a rookie tomb raider, and I don't have much experience.”
After the three of them had lunch, Xiang Qian and Er Yuehong left Hong Manor with their men and went to Old Dog Wu's house to meet up with the Nine Gates.
After the Nine Gates gathered, they got into the car that Zhang Qishan had prepared and headed towards Xiangxi.
Three days later, Xiang Qian and the others came to a village at the foot of Zhangjiajie Mountain in Xiangxi. The person who called Old Dog Wu lived in this village, so Xiang Qian and the others came directly to this village.
Old Dog Wu sent someone to find the person who called him and asked him which mountain the waiter went to. The person replied that he did not know either. Before the waiter left, he only gave him a sum of money and asked him to call Old Dog Wu half a month after the waiter left to tell him about the two nondescript poems.
There was no other way. Xiang Qian and the others could only guess what those two lines of poetry meant.
In the middle of the night, Xiang Qian, who was practicing the mysterious cultivation method, suddenly heard a faint sound of bells and drums. Xiang Qian stopped his cultivation and got up. He opened the door and went to the courtyard to look for the source of the bell and drum. He found that it came from the mountains of Zhangjiajie.
Xiang Qian came to Er Yuehong's room and woke him up. Er Yuehong got up and went to the courtyard. He listened carefully and heard the sound of bells and drums coming from the mountains of Zhangjiajie.
Er Yuehong woke everyone up and told them to pack up and prepare to enter the mountain.
Everyone packed up their things and began to follow the sound of the bell and drum into the mountains of Zhangjiajie.
About ten kilometers into the mountains of Zhangjiajie, there was a numbing buzzing sound coming from the dense forest, as if some flying creature was shuttling through the forest.
"Everyone, don't make a sound. Be careful of something approaching!”
Xiang Qian lowered his voice to warn them, but Chenpi Four and the others did not hear anything, so they did not believe Xiang Qian's words and continued to talk loudly.
"Buzz!"
The voice was getting closer and clearer. Chenpi Four and the others had also heard it.
"Shut up, there really seems to be something!”
As soon as Chenpi Four finished speaking, a dense swarm of insects suddenly flew out of the forest. There were at least a thousand of them.
"Run! It's the Soul Devouring Bees!"
After saying that, Qi Tiezui led the Qi Clan's people and turned around to run. Xiang Qian and Eryue Hong also led the Hong Clan and Zhang Clan's people and ran behind Qi Tiezui.
"Ah! Help!"
"Ah! Save me!"
From time to time, cries for help could be heard from behind, but no one dared to go back to save them. There were too many Soul Devouring Bees behind them. If they went back, they would be courting death.
"Quick, there's a pool ahead. Let's jump into the pool!”
Qi Tiezui discovered a pool in front of him. After saying that, he ran over and jumped in. Xiang Qian and Er Yuehong followed closely behind.
Jumping into the pool, Xiang Qian, who was submerged in the water, could still hear the buzzing of the Soul Devouring Bees on the surface of the water!”After a while, just as some people were about to be unable to hold it in any longer, the Soul Devouring Bees finally flew away.
Xiang Qian and the others surfaced and climbed to the shore, panting heavily.
"Lord Eight, what are Soul Devouring Bees?”
Xiang Qian asked everyone's question.
"Soul-Devouring Bees are a very rare type of mutated bee. I read about them in an ancient book. The book said that these bees were mutated from the Big Tiger-Head Bee. When they discover that a creature has intruded into their territory, they will launch a relentless attack until the intruder leaves their territory. This kind of Soul-Devouring Bee had a poison ten times stronger than the Giant Tiger-Head Bee. It would definitely be stung, and the pain would also be ten times more painful than being stung by the Giant Tiger-Head Bee. If it could not be treated within one minute, the creature that was stung would die from the pain within one minute.”
After hearing Qi Tiezui's words, everyone gasped in unison, feeling a lingering fear.
