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

Wu Xie looked at the three fingers that kept shaking in front of his eyes, and when he thought about it carefully, he felt even more heartbroken.

He snorted lightly, turned his head away, and ignored the people who were laughing and joking.

The night sky of the Gobi Desert is vast and starry. Under the starry sky, a group of people bound together by fate are laughing and playing, with no worries about the unknown future.

After a night, the bonfire burned out, leaving only a few sparks.

"Hanyan, it's dawn."

Zhang Qiling gently shook Zhang Hanyan's arm to wake her up from her sleep.

"Brother, you always wake up so early. You must be hungry. Let's eat first before we set off."

"it is good."

Zhang Qiling smiled dotingly, stood up and added firewood to the dying campfire. When the flames started to rise, he took out a few steamed buns and put them on a stick to roast.

Zhang Hanyan sat up half asleep, rubbed her sleepy eyes, opened her eyes and looked at Aning who was already packing her things.

"You're not coming with us?"

Aning stopped packing and turned to look at her.

"Are you willing to let me, a stranger, go with you?"

"Why not? We all have the same destination, so we can take care of each other. Aning, it's impossible for you, a woman, to enter the Queen Mother of the West Palace alone."

Aning looked at Zhang Hanyan steadily. She had thought about it for a long time last night and had planned to pack up and leave at dawn.

She hadn't completed the task assigned to her by her boss yet, so it was naturally impossible for her to go back.

Under the pursuit of the Corpse Beetle King, her companions were either killed or injured, and she was the only one left, so she planned to go alone to find the legendary Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West.

She had no intention of following them stubbornly. As soon as she thought of the fat man's sarcastic attitude towards her in the past, she decided not to stay and make herself embarrassed.

But she didn't expect that before leaving, Zhang Hanyan would ask her to go with them.

"Are you sure you want me to go with you? Fatty and the others..."

Aning asked uncertainly. She looked at the fat man who was still snoring and slowly frowned her beautiful eyebrows.

"Don't worry about it. Fatty is a bit harsh in his words, but he's not a bad person at all. If he knew you were leaving alone, I don't think he would agree.

Right? Fatty?

The fat guy who was pretending to be asleep saw that he was exposed, so he simply stopped pretending, turned over and sat up, looked at them, and waved his hand indifferently.

"I don't care if there's one more or one less person in the team."

Wu Xie was awakened by his loud voice, opened his eyes and asked blankly.

"What doesn't matter?"

"Nothing, get up, Tianzhen, Panzi has cooked breakfast. We have to go find the Third Master after breakfast, so hurry up!"

Under Fatty's constant urging, Wu Xie forced himself to get ready, sat down next to Pan Zi like a sleepwalker, and took the self-heating rice and canned luncheon meat that he handed over.

Zhang Hanyan took out some meat from her backpack, poured some into everyone's bowl, and put an extra golden chicken drumstick in Zhang Qiling's bowl.

"Eat more, little brother."

Zhang Qiling smiled slightly, cut the chicken leg in half, picked up the other half and put it in her bowl.

"Innocent, are you full?"

While eating, Fatty stared at the two people opposite him who were sharing a chicken leg, and whispered something in Wu Xie's ear.

Wu Xie nodded as he expected, "I'm full. I'm full."

Pan Zi looked at the two of them playing charades in confusion, scratched his head, and listened for a long time but didn't hear what they said.

After the meal, everyone put out the fire, put on their bags and continued on their way.

They walked along the Gobi Desert and came to the edge of a cliff, where there was no way forward.

"Tian Zhen, look, there's a huge oasis down there!"

The basin under the cliff is very large, and the edges look very neat, like a big pit created by a meteorite.

The pit was filled with smoke inside and outside, and was almost entirely covered with dense tree canopies.

Fatty kept shouting excitedly, pushing Wu Xie closer and closer to the edge of the cliff, ignoring Wu Xie's inner resistance.

"Han Yan, do you think that the legendary Queen Mother of the West Kingdom could be deep in the oasis below?"

"Yes, so let's go down, the Third Master is still waiting for us in front.

Also, according to Chen Wenjin's notes, deep in the oasis, where rivers converge, there are humid swamps.

The swamp is full of miasma and is extremely dangerous. Everyone must be careful. There are also many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the jungle, so be careful."

Everyone looked at the basin at the bottom of the cliff, which was almost close to the primeval forest, and nodded in unison.

Zhang Hanyan squatted down, picked up the vine growing on the cliff, and pulled it to test its strength.

"This vine is thick enough to bear a person's weight. My brother and I will go down first. You guys hurry up."

She handed Zhang Qiling a vine, and the two of them turned around and climbed down the cliff holding the vine.

Pan Zi and Aning followed closely behind. At the edge of the cliff, only Wu Xie and Fatty were left, with no intention of taking any action.

"Tian Zhen, let's go? The young man and the others have gone down, maybe they have already reached the bottom."

"No, no... I always feel that this vine is unreliable."

Wu Xie stepped back repeatedly, away from the vine that Fatty was about to hand to him.

"What are you afraid of? Brother and Han Yan are here. If we really fall, they will catch us. Have you forgotten what Han Yan can do?"

The fat man patiently guided Wu Xie, allowing him to gradually overcome his fear and reach out to take the vine he handed over.

Under Fatty's persuasion, Wu Xie walked down carefully. The cliff was too high, and if he really fell down, he might die on the spot.

Fatty would stop and wait for Wu Xie after walking for a while. Later, seeing that Wu Xie was too slow to take his time, he simply took out a dagger and cut off the vines he was holding on to when they were almost at the bottom of the cliff.

"Ah!!! Fatty! I'm not done with you!!!"

Wu Xie's scream echoed in the valley, causing Zhang Qiling, who was waiting at the bottom of the cliff, to look up at the person who was falling.

He took a few quick steps and caught Wu Xie steadily a second before he fell to the ground.

Wu Xie waited for a long while, but he didn't feel the pain of his butt being broken into eight pieces. He slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, and Zhang Qiling's always indifferent face suddenly came into his sight.

"Brother! You caught mine? Hahaha, thanks!"

He stood up hurriedly, looked at the fat man still hanging on the cliff, and shouted angrily.

"Fatty, wait till you come down and see how I..."

Before Wu Xie could finish his words, the vine that Fatty was holding on to broke, and he was seen flapping and falling.

The snake eggs at the bottom of the cliff were perfectly hidden in the dead branches and leaves, and it was impossible for ordinary people to find them at a glance.

Zhang Hanyan walked around the snake eggs, and when the fat man fell, she pushed him forward towards Pan Zi who was waiting on the side.

Pan Zi quickly caught the staggering fat man, catching him off guard so much that he almost fell down with the fat man.

"Han Yan, you and little brother are too partial, aren't you? Ah? When Tian Zhen fell down, little brother held him and caught him, but when I fell down, you just pushed me?

Fortunately, Pan Zi reacted quickly, otherwise, I would have fallen flat on my face in front of all of you. "

The fat man's muttering received no response from anyone. In the silent valley, only his sad accusations could be heard.

After a long silence, Zhang Hanyan pointed at the snake eggs in the dead leaves under his indignant gaze.

"I didn't push you on purpose. I was mainly afraid that you would break the snake eggs."

The fat man widened his eyes, strode over, and looked at the pile of ordinary snake eggs on the ground in disbelief.

"This snake egg? Is it more valuable than my life?"

“Not really, the main thing is that this thing is very evil. Once the snake egg is broken and the egg liquid gets on your skin, it will continue to grow and reproduce under your skin.

At that time, I can only use the red-hot dagger to cut open your flesh and pick them out bit by bit."

"Oh my god! Is it so disgusting? Then why are we still standing here? Go away! Don't get involved with this unlucky thing!"

The fat man completely forgot what happened just now and walked forward impatiently, fearing that he would be contaminated by the snake eggs.
