Chapter 279: No Results Found

"That bodyguard accidentally stumbled into the ancient tomb; he only explored a very short distance inside before being severely injured and having to retreat the way he came. According to him, the traps and hidden weapons inside are extremely formidable; even a Martial Arts Expert would fall victim to them. He nearly died in there."

Hu Lili's words left Cheng Jiajia, Lv Peng, and Yang Fan completely stunned.

"Lili, could it be that you came to Wuyang Mountain for the sake of that ancient tomb?" Cheng Jiajia asked.

"Of course. Did you really think I was interested in the sunrise? Watching the sunrise is just too boring," Hu Lili said as if it were a matter of course.

The expressions on the faces of Lv Peng and Yang Fan were very complex.

Just moments ago, they had felt that their pestering had worked, convincing Hu Lili to come camping in the wilderness with them.

It turned out that Hu Lili had a different motive all along!

"Since that ancient tomb is so dangerous, you still dare to come here to explore with three ordinary college students? Aren't you afraid of dying inside the tomb?" Lin Feng asked.

"I didn't intend to go in. I just wanted to find the tomb and confirm whether what my bodyguard told me was true or false. If it's confirmed to be true, I'll head back, and next time I'll bring more capable people here."

Hu Lili said with some embarrassment, then paused and added, "But since I've met you, Mr. Lin, I don't think it needs to be that much trouble. As long as you act with us, we can explore that ancient tomb. With you here, there will certainly be no issues."

"If there are any treasures in the tomb, we can split them equally."

Lin Feng smiled and asked, "How exactly do you mean by this 'split equally'?"

"We split it with you; you take half, and the rest of us take the other half. As for how we divide that among ourselves, that's our business," Hu Lili said.

Lin Feng finally made his move.

That ancient tomb was capable of injuring a Martial Artist bodyguard, so it certainly wasn't an ordinary tomb; perhaps the tomb owner was a Martial Arts Expert.

If so, there might be burial goods like a Dharma Treasure in the tomb.

Although Lin Feng wasn't entirely certain and only felt it was a possibility, that possibility was enough.

In any case, even if he didn't get a Dharma Treasure, there would be no loss; at worst, he would just waste some time on a fruitless trip, which was no big deal.

The Soul-Extinguishing Gu inside Lin Wei would not awaken for another six days, so there was plenty of time; there was no need to rush.

"Fine, I agree," Lin Feng said.

Seeing Lin Feng agree, Hu Lili was truly overjoyed.

She immediately grabbed Lin Feng's hand and pulled him over to the front of Cheng Jiajia and the other two.

"Mr. Lin, let me introduce you. They are all my classmates and are in the same club as me. This is Cheng Jiajia, my best friend, and they are Lv Peng and Yang Fan," Hu Lili said.

Afterwards, Hu Lili said to Cheng Jiajia, Lv Peng, and Yang Fan, "This is Mr. Lin, his name is Lin Feng. As for who he is or what his status is, you don't need to ask. You only need to know that he is a very, very, very formidable person—a big shot who can make the entire Jiangbei tremble just by stomping his foot!"

Hearing this, Lv Peng immediately showed a very unconvinced expression and muttered, "Is he really as formidable as you say? You must be bragging."

Yang Fan said, "I don't believe it either. If this guy were really such a big shot, how could he come up the mountain alone? Which big shot goes out without a large group of followers surrounding them?"

Hu Lili wanted to explain, but Lin Feng already said indifferently, "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward, but fortunately, Cheng Jiajia smoothed things over.

"After all this trouble, everyone must be hungry. Let's hurry up and eat!" Cheng Jiajia said with a smile.

Hu Lili then pulled Lin Feng to sit down.

Seeing Hu Lili sitting right next to Lin Feng, her delicate body almost pressed against him, the two men felt so jealous that their eyes were practically spitting fire.

Cheng Jiajia was even more curious; she secretly took out her phone to search for Lin Feng, only to find that she couldn't find anything!

Although she found a few people with the same name, she couldn't find this man in front of her at all!

"Is Lili really bragging? If this guy is as formidable as she says, how could there be no news or reports about him on the internet? This clearly doesn't make sense."

Cheng Jiajia muttered to herself, a look of doubt on her face.

The others didn't hear Cheng Jiajia's words, but Lin Feng heard them all.

Lin Feng found it quite amusing.

Little one, do you really think you can find my information?

I am, after all, the Fifth War King of the Dragon Soul; all my personal information is a state secret. If it could be found by a smartphone that you can buy for a few thousand yuan, the people in the intelligence department would all have to go to a secret court to face trial!

Suddenly, a sizzling sound reached Lin Feng's ears, and a rich, meaty aroma drifted into his nostrils.

He looked closely and realized that Hu Lili was actually using a campfire to heat up canned food.

Those cans had already been opened, and the braised pork, spiced hairtail, preserved beef, and other meats inside were bubbling under the heat of the flames; the enticing meaty aroma was coming from these cans.

Lin Feng couldn't help but say, "I really don't know whether to call you ignorant or say that you are newborn calves that are not afraid of tigers."

"What's wrong, Mr. Lin? Is there a problem? Do you not like canned food?" Hu Lili asked with some restraint, fearing she hadn't been a good host.

Lin Feng pointed at the meat cans and said, "It's one thing to eat canned meat on the mountain, but you're actually heating it up. This rich meaty aroma has a fatal attraction to the various wild beasts on the mountain. Haven't you considered this point?"

Hearing this, Hu Lili's pretty face turned pale.

Lv Peng sneered, "Who are you trying to scare? This isn't our first time exploring the wilderness; we've eaten like this the previous times, and we've never had any problems!"

"Just because you didn't have problems the previous times doesn't mean you won't have problems forever," Lin Feng said.

"I think you're just worrying about nothing and trying to scare us to feel important!" Yang Fan mocked.

"If you don't believe me, then forget it," Lin Feng said.

Hu Lili said, "Mr. Lin's words make sense. Such a rich meaty aroma could indeed attract wild beasts; we really didn't think this through."

"Lili, you're actually listening to him?" Lv Peng shouted, pointing angrily at Lin Feng.

"But Mr. Lin's words are very reasonable. Lv Peng, Yang Fan, I don't understand what you two are thinking. Do you two not even understand such a simple principle?" Hu Lili said with a frown.
