Pinching the dozens of storage rings in his hand, Lin Hao was about to probe and scan for anything of value in them, but suddenly there was a dense sound of footsteps.
Obviously, the fighting commotion here just now had attracted the attention of some adventurers nearby.
At that moment, Lin Hao also put all the storage rings into his shirt pouch, and took the fire scale tigers, all of them, into the system pet space.
As for the original parrot four treasures that acted as a shared vision, they were replaced with kungfu flies, at this moment.
All along, his Lin Hao identity in the Heavenly Diffusion Academy, Four Treasures was inseparable from him every day, and as long as he looked at it, he would undoubtedly recognize it at once.
Therefore, now that he was using the identity of 'Jing Ke', it was natural that Four Treasures did not need to appear anymore.
The kungfu fly looked indifferent as it lay on Lin Hao's shoulder, a cool look on its face.
That look was as if it was saying, it's finally my turn to play!
Not long after, three figures carefully came out of the grass.
"So many corpses!"
Upon seeing the dozens of corpses all over the ground, those three people, immediately sucked in a breath of cool air with horror on their faces.
Borrowing Kung Fu Fly's compound eye vision, Lin Hao also saw those people clearly.
Two men, one woman.
All of them were young people, and they were wearing the colorful uniforms of the academy.
However, they weren't Academy students of the Heavenly Diffusion Academy.
The badge on their uniforms was a totem of a long sword thrusting into the sky.
And below the badge totem, there were four golden fonts.
Sword Cloud Academy.
Seeing this, Lin Hao wasn't surprised.
The Sword Cloud Academy was located in the Star Rain Empire, separated from the Great Yan Dynasty by only a river.
Although it was a neighboring country, in recent years, the relationship between the two countries was not friendly, with friction appearing from time to time and frequent battles.
However, the Star Rain Empire belonged to the imperial forces, and its military power was relatively strong.
The Great Yan Dynasty had been on the defensive, resisting the enemy's outgoing attacks.
As for the Sword Cloud Academy, it was not far from the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, and these three people would definitely be able to arrive here within ten days if they learned of the news of the ancient tomb.
"These people, could it be that mysterious person killed them all?"
That short-haired woman among them, her beautiful eyes widened as she stared at the corpses on the ground.
Then she stole another glance at Lin Hao and whispered with a surprised face.
The handsome young man next to her, his expression tightened, his gaze curiously sizing up Lin Hao for a while before he whispered in negation:
"It shouldn't be possible, although he's wearing a mysterious dress, he's neatly clothed, calm, and doesn't seem to have any signs of having just finished a fight."
The other burly youth, also nodded his head in agreement, "That's right, look at that corpse that had half of its head bitten off, it's obviously a bite wound from a magical beast."
At those words, the short-haired woman looked in the direction he pointed.
However, she saw that bare head, half of which had been bitten off, with blood and brain matter mixed together in an unusually bloody manner.
Seeing such an exciting picture, the shock in the short-haired woman's beautiful eyes intensified a few points.
However, soon, she also regained her composure, realizing that the corpse's head was indeed the bite mark of a large beast.
On the contrary, Lin Hao was alone, with only a small white magical beast by his side.
At this moment, the little white one, re-wearing a hat, and its eyes were no longer showing its previous aura, deliberately becoming a bit dull.
It seemed to have experienced the scene of the treacherous hearts just now again, and it had already learned to disguise itself.
This little change in detail was noticed by Lin Hao, and he couldn't help but be secretly pleased in his heart.
Immediately, he didn't pay any attention to that Three Swords Cloud Academy student and turned around to leave in silence.
Regarding Lin Hao's departure, the short-haired woman and the others, how could they dare to inquire about this seemingly bizarre and mysterious person.
Only until Lin Hao disappeared from view did the three of them secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
That lanky youth looked at the corpses all over the ground and instantly grinned, with an undisguised greed in his eyes.
Only to see him run to those corpses and start searching for them.
The result, however, was a great disappointment to him.
"What a waste of effort, there isn't even anything of value!"
The lanky youth cursed in a rather spoiled manner.
"Could it be that the guy just now, got there first?"
Thinking of this, the burly youth frowned.
The expression on his face was both upset and unwilling.
"Chen Wu, forget it, earning this kind of dead man's money can be inhumane."
The handsome youth shook his head and admonished, "Remember, the purpose of our trip is that Ancient Tomb House."
Hearing the Ancient Tomb, the lanky youth named Chen Wu, immediately brightened up, which reminded him of the main event.
"That's right."
Chen Wu solemnly nodded his head, then he looked at the short-haired woman next to him and exuberantly said, "Fang Xiao Ke, if this ancient tomb in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range is really the burial place of your Fang Family's ancestors, we'll be rich."
Seeing Chen Wu's greedy and excited look, Fang Xiao Ke sighed lightly in her heart.
He also didn't know if this time, informing the two cousins about the news of the ancient tomb was the right thing to do.
Hundreds of years ago, the Fang Family could be said to be a renowned first-class family in the Star Rain Empire.
Only because of the birth of a Saint Realm powerhouse, it was treated with great honor by the Imperial Family and enjoyed all kinds of resources.
However, later on, that ancestor failed to impact the realm, and his lifespan also happened to be about to run out, so he died in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and was buried in the ancient tomb that had been built long ago.
At first, the Fang family is rich and powerful, for the resources stored in the tomb, and did not move the heart, intends to save to the future from time to time.
Unexpectedly, with the death of the ancestors, all kinds of enemies have come to the door.
Since then, the Fang Clan has been completely defeated, and even the treasure map of the ancient tomb was lost in the process of fleeing.
And now, the first line of the Fang Clan, there is only a single woman left in her lineage.
A while ago, when she heard that someone had found the remains of an ancient tomb in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Fang Xiao Ke instantly remembered the ancient tomb of her ancestors that her father had once talked about.
However, she only had the cultivation of a fourth level mage, so going into the Magic Beast Mountain Range alone would undoubtedly be a dangerous endeavor.
Therefore, this was why she informed her two foreign cousins about Fang's ancient tomb, hoping that the two of them would assist in the journey.
"Xiao Ke, even if that ancient tomb opens its runic seals, outsiders won't be able to enter the core area in the tomb?"
The handsome young man's gaze turned to Fang Xiao Ke and he couldn't help but ask.
Fang Xiao Ke nodded and said, "Well, according to the genealogy, the true core chamber of the ancient tomb, no one without our Fang Clan bloodline can enter."
"It seems like it requires essence blood to be dripped on top of the runes before the formation will activate the stone door of the secret room."
Upon hearing this, the handsome youth and that Chen Wu both fell silent.
The two of them, even though they were of a foreign surname, technically speaking, there was more or less a Fang bloodline that had been passed down from their mother's ancestors.
However, they were also unable to determine just how the core chamber in the ancient tomb, the runic formation that was set up, was judged.
Otherwise, where would they agree to assist Fang Xiao Ke, a liability, and instead come here privately to hijack all the treasures in the Fang Clan's ancient tomb.
As their minds turned, the handsome youth and Chen Wu secretly glanced at each other, both nodding in silent agreement.
Today's plan could only be to bring Fang Xiao Ke along to the ancient tomb first, and then discuss the distribution of resources at that time.
Unbeknownst to them, a weird little fly suddenly buzzed away from here.
This fly was undoubtedly none other than the Kung Fu Little Fly.
And the conversation the three of them had just had naturally all passed to Lin Hao's side ...
