Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

The team members were missing and Aning had been waiting impatiently. Now that she saw them coming back, she immediately asked everyone to pack up their equipment and prepare to set off for Devil City.

The sandstorm caused the car's tires to sink deeply into the yellow sand, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to push the car out.

"Okay, everyone, get in the car, and follow closely. We must reach the outskirts of Devil City before the sun sets!"

Dingzhu Zhuoma knew the way to the Devil City, so Aning asked Dingzhu Zhuoma and the others to ride in the same car with her so that it would be easier for her to give directions.

"Wu Xie, you drive. There are four of us in one car."

Zhang Hanyan pointed to the only white Hummer without a driver and motioned for everyone to sit together.

Wu Xie nodded, and just as he was about to walk towards the driver's seat, he was pulled back by Xie Yuchen.

"Let me drive. I always feel like you're not very reliable. Don't drive the car into the ditch again. We'll all suffer."

"Hey...Xiaohua, why are you talking like Fatty and being so venomous?"

Xie Yuchen smiled innocently, walked around him, opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

Their car was the last one in the car. The sun was gradually setting and the temperature around them was not as hot as it was at noon. A breeze blew, bringing a cool feeling.

Before the sun disappeared over the horizon, they finally arrived at the legendary Devil City.

Dingzhu Zhuoma said that the Devil City, also known as the Wind City, has large tracts of rock carved into various shapes by the whistling wind.

Moreover, when the wind blows over the rocks, it makes sounds like ghosts howling, so it is called Devil City.

"Let's set up camp here and rest for the night. Tomorrow morning I will lead a few people to look for people."

"Team doctor! Team doctor!"

The calls, louder and louder, from afar made everyone who had just gotten off the bus run over. When they got closer, they saw that there was a person buried in a raised mound of earth outside the Devil City.

Only the man's head was exposed, and the whole body below the neck was buried in sand.

His face turned pale, he was breathing out more than he was breathing in, and it looked like he was about to die.

"It's Ah K! Quick, dig him out!"

At Aning's command, everyone immediately started to act. After a while, they dug out the man named A K and laid him flat on the ground.

After the team doctor's emergency treatment, he finally recovered and his eyes opened slightly.

"Ah K, where are Lao Gao and the others?"

Aning asked impatiently.

"They...went in..." He pointed a finger at the entrance to the Devil's Town. "I told them not to go in, but they seemed to be bewitched and couldn't hear me at all."

Aning wanted to ask a few more questions, but A K's mental state was obviously not good and it was obvious that he could not talk any more.

She waved her hand, signaling her men to take Ah K to the tent to rest.

As the sun set, the world fell into darkness, and bonfires were lit around the camp to provide lighting and warmth.

Zhang Hanyan, Zhang Qiling, Wu Xie, Jie Yuchen, and Hei Xiazi sat together and chatted about random things.

"Han Yan, who do you think An Ning will let go with her into Devil City to look for someone tomorrow?"

Wu Xie looked towards the dark entrance of Devil City. Amid the whistling wind, he could still hear the wailing coming from the city, which sounded particularly creepy.

Zhang Hanyan held a small wooden stick in her hand and poked the flint that had fallen next to the campfire.

"I don't know. We'll know tomorrow, but I guess she'll take one of me and my brother with her. That way, she won't be afraid of the two of us running away together."

"Ah? Well then, no matter who she takes tomorrow, I want to go with her to see what magical place this legendary Devil City has that makes so many people afraid."

Wu Xie said this with great determination. His words made the silent Xie Yuchen reveal a look of disapproval.

"Wu Xie, you are too curious!" Xie Yuchen sighed.

Hei Xia Zi looked up at the moon that had shifted, stood up, brushed the dust off his butt, and said nonchalantly.

"You guys chat slowly, I'm going to go back to sleep. I'm old, I just can't compare with you young people."

His words instantly reminded Wu Xie of what Xie Yuchen had told him about knowing Zhang Hanyan. It would have been fine if he hadn't thought about it, but when he did, he couldn't control his eyes and looked straight at Zhang Hanyan.

"Hanyan, Xiaohua said he knew you when he was eight years old, so...how old are you now?"

Wu Xie's words successfully made Hei Xia Zi, who was about to turn around and leave, stop and look at Zhang Hanyan with interest.

Zhang Hanyan paused fiddling with the wooden stick, frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head amid everyone's expectant gazes.

"I've lived too long... I forgot... But... when your grandpa and grandma got married, he and Master Jiu came together to give wedding candy to me and my brother..."

"What! What did you say!"

Wu Xie stood up suddenly, and his exclamation attracted Aning who was far away. When he saw Aning looking at him, he could only smile awkwardly and slowly sat down again.

He raised his right hand, stretched out his trembling fingers, and spoke intermittently.

"You...you and little brother...you two...my...my grandparents' wedding candy! You've all eaten it! Oh my God..."

Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling's eyes met in the air, and they smiled at each other as they watched Wu Xie howling towards the sky.

Xie Yuchen curled his lips and chuckled. Fortunately, Zhang Hanyan had told him long ago that she knew his grandfather, which showed her age. Otherwise, he would probably be as stunned as Wu Xie.

"No... No... This incident has caused me too much of a shock. I need to calm down alone..."

Wu Xie stood up and walked away, walking slowly towards the tent that Aning had assigned to him.

"Sister, it's getting late. I'm going to go back and rest. See you tomorrow."

"Ok, bye."

Xie Yuchen and Zhang Hanyan waved goodbye, stood up and walked towards the direction Wu Xie left.

Seeing that there was nothing to watch, Hei Xia Zi simply said hello and turned away.

Zhang Qiling watched Xie Yuchen leave without blinking. The way he addressed Zhang Hanyan just now made his eyes move slightly and his mind was filled with mixed feelings.

"Han Yan, have you known him for a long time?"

"Well, it was during the ten years when we went to Kangbalo to do business together. Jiuye Xie passed away, and I kept my promise and rushed to Xie's house to help him.

At that time, he was just an eight-year-old kid. Time flies. In a blink of an eye, he has grown up so much. He speaks and acts a bit like his grandfather. "

He didn't remember what she said about Combalo. In his current memory, there was no trace of the time he had spent with her.

The more he thought about it, the heavier Zhang Qiling's expression became. His brows were furrowed, his shoulders slowly drooped, and a long sigh came from his throat.

In the light of the fire, his entire body was filled with an unspeakable bitterness and loss.
