Chapter 957: Good Advice Falls on Deaf Ears?
The car drove for over three hours, crossing half of Merton before finally arriving at Myriad Mountain!
Upon reaching the destination, they found themselves in a valley.
The place was picturesque, with birds singing and flowers blooming, creating a pleasant scene!Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
A waterfall cascaded down the middle of a nearby mountain, forming a winding stream.
With mountains at its back and water flowing through, the place exuded a sense of harmony.
It was evident that this was a prime location with excellent feng shui!
To be buried here would bring blessings to one’s descendants.
Upon arrival, they saw several camps set up in the valley, indicating that multiple groups were stationed there, exploring the ancient tomb!
As Gerard and Lachlan’s group got out of the car, a slightly chubby middle-aged man approached them.
His nickname was Pangolin, a minor leader of the Mountain Moving Sect and the one who had previously called Gerard.
“Pangolin, why are there so many people here?” Gerard asked in confusion.
At a glance, there were several groups stationed in the valley, amounting to at least a few thousand people.
“Indeed! This grand tomb has attracted many tomb-raiding factions and forces. Besides our Mountain Moving Sect, there’s the Dragon-Seeking Sect, Mountain Unloading Sect, Golden Point Sect, and several smaller tomb-raiding groups. They all came upon hearing the news.
There are indeed thousands of people here!
And that’s just what you see; there are more underground.
All these groups are here for that Fortune-Altering Divine Object!”
Pangolin whispered in Gerard’s ear as he finished speaking.
Gerard shook his head with a wry smile and said, “All these forces have nothing to do with me. I’m not after that Fortune-Altering Divine Object. If I can collect some other valuable items, I’ll be satisfied.”
“You’ll definitely leave with a full load. This is likely the true resting place of Spike Keller, and there are plenty of treasures inside!
How about this: I’ll take you down directly later and let you pretend to be one of our Mountain Moving Sect members.
Whatever you can get your hands on is up to your own skills!
Gerard, how about it? Am I not being generous? But when it comes to profits, we’ll split it seventy-thirty. Deal?”
Pangolin grinned slyly and asked Gerard in a low voice.
Hearing this, Gerard’s face showed a hint of interest.
“Will there be any danger?”
He wasn’t from this line of work and was worried about unforeseen dangers once they went down.
“Oh, come on, what danger? Just don’t follow others to the main tomb to fight for that Fortune-Altering Divine Object.
There might indeed be danger there. Judging by the situation, it’s likely that factions will clash over that divine object!
But in other chambers and side rooms, it’s absolutely safe to loot some items. If you follow me and other outer disciples of the Mountain Moving Sect, there won’t be any problem.
Anything you bring out will be priceless antiques.”
Pangolin assured convincingly.
This time, Gerard was truly tempted and nodded involuntarily.
However, at this moment, Lachlan came over and shook his head at Gerard, saying, “Gerard, I advise you not to go down!
Entering this tomb is extremely dangerous!”
Lachlan had just used the Dragon Gaze Heavenward Technique and released his mental field to observe the surroundings.
He found that many people in the valley had ominous signs above their heads.
This indicated that many people might die here today.
Lachlan then looked towards the excavated entrance of the tomb.
It was an underground passage slanting down towards the ancient tomb.
From that direction, Lachlan saw wisps of black ominous energy emanating from the entrance.
It was clear that the tomb was extremely dangerous!
“What extreme danger? Gerard, who is this kid?” Pangolin frowned upon hearing Lachlan’s words and looked at him displeased.
“Oh, he’s… a junior of mine! He came today to gain some experience!” Gerard introduced him as such because Lachlan had previously expressed interest in tomb raiding.
Pangolin sneered upon hearing this and looked at Lachlan with disdain. “Damn it, if you’re here to gain experience, just keep your mouth shut!
Talk less, watch more, and learn! But whatever you do, don’t speak out of turn!”
Lachlan ignored him and said seriously to Gerard, “Gerard, listen to me. Don’t go down! Trust me!”
Gerard looked at Lachlan and then at Pangolin, showing a hint of hesitation on his face.
He knew Lachlan was powerful!
Normally, he should heed the advice of such a strong person.
But then he thought about it; Lachlan wasn’t a professional in this field.
Being powerful didn’t mean knowing everything.
As they say, money moves people’s hearts! People die for wealth as birds die for food!
Thinking about the possibility of finding valuable ancient items in the tomb made Gerard reluctant to listen.
“Lachlan, can you tell me specifically what dangers lie below?
Are there zombies or traps?”
Gerard asked expressionlessly.
Lachlan frowned upon hearing this. “I can’t say for sure! But from observing the aura emanating from the tomb, I can confirm it’s extremely dangerous.”
Hearing this, Gerard couldn’t help but shake his head.
Pangolin even laughed out loud directly.
“Kid, stop trying to scare us! You can’t even specify what dangers there are and are just trying to frighten us?
I’ve been a disciple of the Mountain Moving Sect for years and have entered countless tombs. I know more than you do!
Get lost and don’t get in the way!”
“Gerard, come on, let’s go down! I’ll bring some Mountain Moving Sect disciples to protect you. Even if a zombie jumps out, you’ll be safe!”
Pangolin pushed Lachlan aside and called out to Gerard.
