"That's not the case." Ga Gong shook his head. "A long time ago, many expedition teams passed by here. But most of them were foreigners."
"Foreigners? Are they the foreigners you mentioned?" Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Yes, they were foreigners. There were white people and black people. You could tell they were not locals," Ga Gong recalled. "They were carrying large and small bags and holding some strange instruments. They were very mysterious and I didn't know what they were doing."
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and said meaningfully: "It seems that we are not the first group of people to discover the secret."
"What secret?" Yang Mi came over curiously.
"The secret of the ancient tomb." Lin Qiye said solemnly, "I always feel that our expedition this time may not be that simple."
[Oh my god! Is there really another secret in this rainforest? ! ]
[So, those foreigners have been eyeing this place for a long time? Then aren't we a step too late? ! ]
[How is that possible! We have the jade pendant to guide us. How can a mere foreigner compare with us?]
[That’s right! What if the foreigners have some black technology? These days, if you have money, you can do whatever you want! ]
[Tsk, black technology is shit! We are from the world of immortal cultivation, we have boundless magic power! I think those foreigners will be crushed in a matter of minutes, right?]
[That's right, the water in the world of immortal cultivation is too deep, let's keep a low profile. Otherwise, if we are targeted by foreigners, who knows how much trouble we will get into! ]
[Alright, alright, stop worrying about it. With Inspector Lin protecting you, why are you still worried about not being able to pass this level? I think we should all seize the time and try to solve the mystery of the ancient tomb as soon as possible! ]
In the live broadcast room, everyone was in an uproar again, discussing Lin Qiye's discovery.
At this time, the expedition team was continuing to march towards the mountain at a rapid pace.
Along the way, there was no other sound except the occasional cries of birds and animals.
Under the scorching sun, the pristine rain forest exudes a scent of soil mixed with humus.
The branches and leaves blocked out the sun, cutting the sunlight into mottled pieces that fell on the bodies of the expedition members.
Lin Qiye was the first to stop and look into the distance. He saw mountains and lush forests ahead, stretching as far as the eye could see.
He frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
"What's wrong, Qiye? Did you find anything?" Cheng Long came forward and asked curiously.
Lin Qiye did not answer immediately, but slowly took out the ancient jade pendant from his arms.
He studied the patterns on the jade pendant and muttered to himself: "The terrain of the mountains here seems to match the direction indicated on the jade pendant."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
"Is this true? How far are we from the treasure?" Wu Jing rubbed his hands excitedly.
Wang Xingxing looked at Lin Qiye thoughtfully and said softly: "From this direction, we are probably approaching the ancient tomb. Qiye, do you think it's a coincidence?"
Lin Qiye shook his head and said seriously: "Xingxing is right. This rainforest may really hide a huge ancient tomb. Otherwise, it would not attract so many foreign expedition teams to come and hunt for treasures."
Hearing this, Sister Na also became interested: "What's going on, Qiye, can you tell something from this broken jade pendant? In my opinion, instead of guessing here, you should find a place to rest, replenish some dry food and water, and then continue on your way. Instead of wasting time on guessing, you might as well walk a few more steps!"
When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense.
After all, traveling long distances in such an environment would consume physical strength very quickly. If energy is not replenished in time, it might really affect the subsequent exploration plan.
So, at Ga Gong's suggestion, the group came to a cave sheltered from the wind and prepared to take a short rest.
Lin Qiye sat down on the rock at the entrance of the cave, took out a piece of compressed biscuit and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.
Seeing this, Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian hurried over, one holding water and the other holding dried fruits, and served him diligently.
"Brother Qiye, drink some water and take a rest. You have worked hard on this journey."
"That's right, Brother Qiye, you've lost weight! Come, eat more melon seeds to replenish your energy!"
Lin Qiye smiled helplessly and had to take the food from them and thank them one by one.
At this time, Wang Xingxing also walked over gracefully.
She handed a handkerchief to Lin Qiye and said softly: "Wipe the sweat off, it's too stuffy here."
When Sister Na saw this, she was so angry that her face turned green.
She pulled Wang Xingxing over and said maliciously: "Hey, whose little bird is this? Why is it so attentive? Could it be that it is trying to seduce Lin Qiye?"
Wang Xingxing didn't get angry when he heard that. He just smiled and said, "Sister Na, you're joking. I'm just concerned about my teammates. Besides, if that's what I meant, it's not your turn to interfere, right?"
After hearing this, Sister Na was suddenly speechless, her face turned red, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian could only hide aside awkwardly, not daring to say anything more.
Cheng Long and Wu Jing, who were standing by, were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Oh my god, Qiye is such a lucky guy! He is surrounded by three beautiful women, and there is also an old beauty. How great does it feel?"
"That's right! If it were me, I would be willing to fight just for Xingxing's face!"
[Hahaha, Cheng Long and Wu Jing are two crazy fans, they are greedy for Xingxing girl's body! They don't even take a piss to look at themselves, are they worthy?]
[That’s right! Two rough guys, you dare to fantasize here? I think Xingxing’s heart has already flown to Inspector Lin!]
[Tsk, what do you know? This is called a hero and a beauty! A legendary figure in the tomb-robbing world like Inspector Lin and a queen like Xing Xing, isn't that the perfect match?]
[You are the only one who knows more! Inspector Lin is obviously from the immortal cultivation world, right? How can he be confused with those tomb robbers?]
[Haha, Inspector Lin is the one who is loved by everyone, and you still have the nerve to criticize him? Go look in the mirror!]
[Fuck! These fans are just talking nonsense! We are discussing adventures, can you please be a little more serious?!]
In the live broadcast room, there was another verbal battle, with everyone discussing Lin Qiye's luck with women.
At this time, Lin Qiye had already eaten and drunk his fill, and packed his bag again.
"It's almost time, let's continue on our journey. I always feel like something is wrong with this rainforest."
With the guidance of the jade pendant, everyone quickly left the resting cave and set out on their journey again.
However, none of them noticed that in the shadows deep in the cave, a pair of green eyes were staring at them eagerly.
Along the way, Lin Qiye was in deep thought, playing with the ancient jade pendant in his hand, as if trying to find out something from it. (End of this chapter)
