Chapter 469: 468. Herbal medicine?!

Su Xiaochi activated the transmitter to negotiate the specifics with Wen Nuan, warning them to be careful when entering the Ancient Tomb, as there was a Tomb Raiding Gang of seven or eight people outside.

They had split into two teams, and the opposition had also split into two, so since they hadn’t encountered them here, they must still be trapped by the stone wall within the Underground Palace.

"Shall we make our way back along the route?"

"Hold on."

Tang Shu looked around and his gaze fell on the river within the cave; the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, an evident sign that he was in a good mood.

"Is there something wrong with this water?"

"Aren’t you curious why the tribal chief Ah Jia was buried here?"

"Isn’t it because it’s undisturbed?"

"No, actually, for the tribe, the real treasure isn’t the jade raw stone or the red gemstone outside, but the medicinal herb that can cure death and mend bones."

What?!

Hearing this, everyone paused in shock, looking at Tang Shu with stunned expressions.

"Wait a minute, you’re making my head spin, what medicinal herb, where did this medicinal herb come from?"

Tomb Robbers wanted the Crescent-shaped jade pendant because they wanted the treasures within the Ancient Tomb, right? And these jade raw stones and red gemstones truly are priceless.

A single piece taken out could fetch a sky-high price.

Su Xiaochi swore that not once in this mission had there been any mention of medicinal herbs!

Tang Shu shook his head, "For a matrilineal tribe, jade, gemstones, other than having a decorative function are less useful than a wild boar; they wouldn’t consider these to be treasures."

"But they indeed are the burial goods of Chief Ah Jia..."

"They are burial goods, but it’s more accurate to describe them as ornaments."

"Then what’s the deal with the medicinal herb?"

This question came from Zheng Anhe, who untied the rope at his waist, never to underestimate his junior, who was several years younger than him again.

"Do you still remember what’s recorded on the wall with Stone tablet inscriptions?"

"I remember, it mentioned that tribal people used several kinds of medicinal herbs to treat wounds..."

Zheng Anhe, being part of the archaeological team, had always listened attentively during meetings, and upon hearing this, it seemed he thought of something, his eyes suddenly alight with realization.

"Are you saying that the treasure the Tomb Robbers talked about is the medicinal herb mentioned on the wall?"

But, the texts on the wall were originally exaggerated, weren’t they? The tribal people even called salt clouds because they are the same color.

Tang Shu remained silent.

She was certain it was medicinal herbs, not just because of the Stone tablet inscriptions, but because Demao had records of these herbs as well.

"I’ll go down and take a look, you guys just wait up here."

Su Xiaochi stopped her, pointing at the cold water surface, "Here? Are you mad? It’s very cold inside."

"It’s fine, it won’t affect me much."

Tang Shu took off her coat, and the next moment, she dived straight into the water, leaving the people gathered around the edge stupefied.

Su Xiaochi exhaled and blew on the fringe on her nose, her mood far from great.

"What are you looking at? It’s all your fault!"

Seeing the Tomb Robber leader approach, she delivered a direct kick with her right foot.

The others: "..."

This was somewhat bullying.

The other two team members coughed slightly, turned their faces away, and pretended not to see.

The group didn’t have to wait too long; in roughly two minutes, when everyone thought Tang Shu might have drowned, a figure emerged from the water.

In Tang Shu’s hand, astonishingly, was a snow-white snow-white lotus.
