Chapter 108: Chapter 105: The Disquieting Ancient Tribal Land

If it weren’t for Chu Yan stopping her, Qin Zhao would have immediately opened her suitcase.

"I bet what you’re craving is lobster, right?"

"Yeah, did you bring any?"

Chu Yan smiled, "I didn’t."

Qin Zhao instantly turned unhappy, "I even bought you a plane ticket! I specifically reminded you to bring it, why didn’t you? Why didn’t you just forget yourself in Imperial City?!"

Seeing her huffing in irritation, Chu Yan gently ruffled her hair.

"After all that time, do you think it would still taste good if I brought it? Since we’re here to play in Lan City, let’s enjoy some local delicacies. I’ll make you Australian lobster when we get back."

"You’re buying!"

"Sure, I’m buying."

Only then did Qin Zhao feel somewhat satisfied, and together they headed to the hotel.

On the way, she explained to Chu Yan that she wasn’t actually there to travel.

But she didn’t reveal Tengshe’s identity, simply stating she was there to look for something.

Chu Yan had already guessed as much, knowing that Xiao Shi was a Snake Demon.

It was unlikely for Qin Zhao to bring along a Snake Demon just for a trip.

As for why he came, naturally, he had wanted to see his wife.

Who knew how long she’d be away this time, or when she would return?

If she didn’t come back at all, wouldn’t he be at a great loss?

The next day, Qin Zhao rented a sedan.

The Hellhound led the way, and they found Kang Youfu’s old home.

The Hellhound had followed the scent of the Dragon Horn and led them to a rural village, stopping in front of one household and barking twice.

The Hellhound transformed back into its fierce form, invisible to humans.

So when it barked twice, the nearby people noticed nothing out of the ordinary.

Kang Youfu’s house was locked up tight, Qin Zhao knocked on the door for a long time without any answer.

Using her Divine Sense, she sensed no one inside the house, so she went to the neighbor’s home.

There was an auntie washing clothes in the courtyard.

Qin Zhao approached and asked, "Auntie, hello, do you know Kang Youfu?"

The auntie turned her head and saw such a beautiful young woman, with a man by her side who was also extraordinarily handsome, even better looking than the stars on TV. These two clearly weren’t ordinary folks.

"I know him, what do you want with him?"

She turned off the tap, looking a bit nervous.

"Don’t be nervous, we are his friends."

Qin Zhao handed her a few red banknotes, "I’d like to ask you some questions about him."

At first glance, it looked like there were about five or six hundred yuan.

"Just a few questions, and all this money is for me?"

"Yes, all yours."

Qin Zhao placed the money on the washbasin.

"Then ask away."

"When was the last time he came back?"

"I think it was three days ago."

"Where is he now? When can he come back?"

The auntie hesitated for a moment, then spoke with a hint of mystery, "He’s probably off tomb-robbing. He left at night, someone came to call for him.

I just happened to hear it in the yard, they said there was a tomb of the Gulan Clan with some important person buried inside, and they wanted him to join in treasure hunting.

This fellow’s ancestors were tomb robbers, he learned a trick or two from them."

"The Gulan Clan? What place is that?"

"It’s an ethnic tribe in the mountains nearby, very remote. The people there never come out, living like ancient times."

People in town had once urged them to move out for a better life, but they were all driven back.

"The Gulan Clan has their own beliefs and can’t leave their tribal lands."

The old aunt told Qin Zhao everything she knew.

Otherwise, accepting so much money would have left her feeling uneasy.

And this Kang Youfu was no good person—in the past, he’d even stolen from their family.

The old aunt had long disapproved of Kang Youfu’s character, so she had no intention of covering for him.

After leaving the old aunt’s house, Qin Zhao asked the Hellhound, "Is there any scent of the Dragon Horn in that direction?"

She pointed in a direction, right where the old aunt said the Gulan Clan resided.

The Hellhound sniffed the aura on Tengshe and then nodded its head.

It seemed that Kang Youfu had taken the Dragon Horn home first, and then went tomb raiding with it.

This Tomb Robber probably wanted to sell the Dragon Horn.

If it really sold, it would be even harder to find.

"Let’s go, take a trip to the Gulan Clan."

Qin Zhao got into the car, where Chu Yan was now the one driving.

Chu Yan couldn’t help but ask her, "What do you want with this Kang Youfu?"

"He stole something of mine."

"The Dragon Horn? Are there really dragons in this world?"

Tengshe in the back seat snorted.

Foolish man, your house has a future dragon baby!

Qin Zhao vaguely replied, "The world is so vast, there’s no shortage of wonders."

The territory of the Gulan Clan was truly remote.

When they first set out, they asked a few people who only knew a general direction.

If it wasn’t for the Hellhound leading the way, they would have never found it.

There was a rolling mountain range on this side, and it took a long drive to reach it. Eventually, the car could go no further; the road wasn’t paved, and they had to walk the rest of the way.

They left at seven in the morning and it wasn’t until seven in the evening that they saw traces of human settlement deep in the mountains.

The mountains hid a river as green and precious as jade, and the Gulan Clan lived by its banks.

The houses of the Gulan Clan were stilted bamboo houses, similar to those of the Miao Clan, built over water.

However, now deep into the night, Qin Zhao and the others couldn’t see the beautiful river.

Seeing the dim and distant lights, Qin Zhao inexplicably felt a sense of unease, although she didn’t feel any yin energy or Evil Energy in this area.

It looked nothing more than a backward mountain village.

Chu Yan asked Qin Zhao, "Are you tired?"

Although they could see the village lights, there was still a long walk ahead.

"If you’re tired, I can carry you."

They had been walking in the mountains for two hours.

Qin Zhao shook her head, "I’m not tired."

Her mind was still preoccupied with the strange feeling she had. Could it be because Kang Youfu’s grave robbing might unearth something dangerous?

This was only Qin Zhao’s guess, as some formidable graves could contain rather fierce Evil Objects.

If someone rashly opened them, the Evil Objects might escape from the grave.

Qin Zhao turned to Chu Yan and said, "Let’s rest in the Gulan Clan for the night and look for the grave site tomorrow to see if Kang Youfu is there."

Chu Yan had no objections and was about to nod when he sensed some movement ahead.

He quickly moved to protect Qin Zhao and looked warily towards the pitch-black bushes.

Qin Zhao’s night vision allowed her to see that something had parted the grass, revealing a pair of shiny black eyes staring straight at them.

Chu Yan obviously saw them too and immediately shone his flashlight over.

The bushes rustled.

Startled, the creature turned its head, ready to flee.
