"No need, let's go straight. We're all practitioners, we don't need to rest." Lin Yi said faintly.
Lingshan nodded. She'd forgotten that they were all practitioners, so she'd naturally suggest that they set up camp in a village to rest, but that wasn't necessary now.
"Then let's keep going. We should be there soon!" Lingshan said.
The road became more and more difficult to advance. There was almost no one in this area. Even the people in the nearby villages would not come to this place. This was because this was a mountain range, and it was mainly composed of rock cliffs. There were no wild fruits or animals. People could do nothing but look at the scenery here.
"The scenery here isn't bad, it's a good place to take pictures!" Lin Yi sighed.
"It's a pity that no matter how good the scenery is, we can't develop it into a tourist spot because of the seclusion. The villages nearby are too poor, and the infrastructure is too bad. It'd take too much investment to develop this place into a tourist spot. No company would invest that much money here, and we don't even know if there'll be any returns." Yutian said.
Lin Yi didn't understand business operations, and so he didn't comment on Yutian's words.
The car drove for a while, and the road got harder and harder. There were fewer trees on the side of the road, and there was nothing else other than desolate rocks! They'd thought that the scenery was pretty when they first entered the mountain range, but as time went on, it became boring and boring.
Chen Yutian was right- this place wasn't suitable for a tourist spot. The scenery was too monotonous, and people who came here once wouldn't come back again. There was no point in staying here.
"We're almost there … We need to put on our masks! The tents in front might belong to the other tomb robbers. We need to be cautious and alert at all times. Don't let anyone see through us. "Lingshan reminded.
"There's no need to be vigilant. Being too vigilant would only make people suspicious. Let's just do what we need to do." Lin Yi said faintly. "The couple's style is very overbearing and arrogant- the information mentioned that, too. Everyone in the industry knows that. Why would they be cautious?"
"You're right- I was too worried!" Lingshan said, getting taught a lesson.
With that, Lin Yi, Lingshan, and Yutian put on the masks they'd prepared beforehand. These masks were all taken from the couple, and they were all original masks. They didn't even need to copy them.
As the car got closer, they saw rows of tents and rows of vehicles not far away. Most of the vehicles were off-road vehicles, but there were also a few large trucks. They were probably loaded with living materials.
These grave robbers had many underlings, unlike the couple who preferred to be alone!
When Chen Yutian drove closer, a few men with assault rifles walked out of the tent. Behind them, a short and skinny man waved his hand, signaling Chen Yutian to stop.
"What are you doing? This is a military administrative area. There's construction in front of us. We can't go through! "The short and thin man said lightly.
If it were a normal tourist, they might've really believed the man's words and turned around to leave, but Chen Yutian came here with a purpose. Naturally, he wouldn't believe the man's words.
"Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. There's wood in front, right?" Chen Yutian said faintly.
This was the newest entrance to the grave robbers' business, and he got it from Liu Bojia himself. He believed that the short and thin man would understand.
"Oh?" The man said calmly. "Heavenly King Covers Earth Tiger!"
The previous sentence was a common opening in the tomb robbing industry, and this sentence was the agreed upon secret code for this tomb robbing. If they could not answer, then sorry, the short and thin man would wave his hand, and the burly men with the submachine guns would not hesitate to open fire!
If he could match the first sentence but not the second sentence, it was very likely that this person was also a member of the Thief Sect. He must have heard the news and wanted to fish in troubled waters to get some benefits. Therefore, the dark and thin man would never let these people have a share of the profits!
"Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li!" Chen Yutian said calmly. He got this secret code from the couple's logbook. Even Liu Bojia didn't know this secret code! The couple might've been afraid of forgetting this secret code, so they recorded it in their logbook.
Both Yutian and Lingshan wanted to laugh when they first saw the signal- the first reaction most people would have was the pagoda suppressing the river monster, but it'd be a huge mistake if they were to say something like that out of their mouth.
"A friend from afar. May I ask which group you're from?" The short and thin man's face softened a bit. He knew that this was the group they'd agreed on.
"Old Hei, you don't even fucking recognize me anymore? Why're you wasting my time? Do you want me to make him run you over? " Before Chen Yutian could say anything, Lin Yi opened the car door unhappily and jumped down, scolding the man.
According to Chen Yutian's information, this Old Hei was the leader of the Red Pagoda tomb robbers, as well as the discoverers of this tomb.
The couple had a weird temper and thought highly of their skills, looking down on their peers. They weren't very popular usually, but when it came to difficult tombs like this, they had no choice but to invite them over.
And so, Lin Yi started scolding them as soon as he got out of the car.
"Male thief, you're still so bad-tempered. I'm just doing this for safety. The fewer people here, the more benefits we'll get! I'm just worried that someone might hear about this and come join in the fun! " The short and thin man called Old Hei shook his head helplessly. He was pissed off, but there was nothing else he could do.
"Hmph!" Lin Yi hmphed coldly. "Where are the others? Are they all here? My time is limited! "
"Keng Bro, Hao Ye, and James are all here. They're resting over there!" The short and thin man said.
"Everyone's here? When is it starting? " Lin Yi asked. According to the information he'd read, there were only five groups of people who'd come this time, and one of the couples had already become him. The other four groups were all present.
