Chapter 516

"Upon hearing this, Cha Le Gai burst into hearty laughter. Not only did he not blame Ban Jie Li, but he also personally helped him up."

"While laughing, he said to everyone: Our team can all hear the thunder; we are the people recognized and chosen by Ghost Valley! The imperial tomb must be ours!"

"Encouraged by Cha Le Gai, everyone began to raise their arms and cheer!"

"The sound echoed in the valley, stirring up waves of muffled reverberations. To Ban Jie Li's ears, it felt as if he were in a ghost realm!"

"But the others didn't have such a feeling at all; every single person's face was filled with excitement!"

"At this very moment, Ban Jie Li looked back at the path they had come from. The distant, weed-choked road seemed to have no end."

"The small path wound and disappeared into the dim light of the valley, like the gaping maw of an abyss!"

"Ban Jie Li couldn't help but shiver, experiencing the meaning of Ghost Valley profoundly for the first time."

"This was a strange valley, and everyone who entered seemed to have their spirit affected."

"Up to now, except for Ban Jie Li, everyone else was abnormally excited."

"Ban Jie Li knew that the valley's magnetic field must have affected people, but he didn't know how to solve it."

"To avoid being different from others, he began to disguise himself, pretending that he could hear the thunder too!"

"Everyone followed Cha Le Gai forward, and the excited Cha Le Gai began to sing Mongolian folk songs again."

"Although the others in the team couldn't understand the Borjigin language, in their extreme excitement, even if they were just shouting randomly, they followed Cha Le Gai's chanting and echoed along."

"Waves of eerie singing echoed in the valley. Ban Jie Li seemed to hear thousands of people chanting in his ears: Temujin's army has arrived; they are heading to the land of eternal life, and all who block them must die!"

When the story reached this point, many in the audience couldn't help but shiver.

This segment didn't have any particularly terrifying scenes, but the entire atmosphere created was hair-raising.

When everyone followed Cha Le Gai in singing Mongolian poetry, this team seemed to have turned into the army that escorted Genghis Khan to his funeral back then.

What made the audience even more immersed and uncomfortable was the existence of Ban Jie Li!

He was the only sober person in the team, and everyone seemed to be looking at this eerie funeral procession through Ban Jie Li's eyes.

That indescribable fear made one's hair stand on end!

At this moment, Zhang Lin's voice sounded again.

"Ban Jie Li pretended that he could hear the thunder and moved forward with the team."

"When the group reached a certain point in the valley, everyone stopped in tacit agreement, except for Ban Jie Li, who was completely bewildered."

"Cha Le Gai said to everyone: The thunder here has finally grown louder! We are getting closer and closer to our destination!"

"Ban Jie Li was completely confused upon hearing this!"

"They had walked for several hours, almost about to traverse this entire Ghost Valley."

"But even if they walked for another few hours, they were still just a short distance away from Ghost Valley."

"Does everyone remember what Cha Le Gai had said to Ban Jie Li before?"

"He said that the purpose of this valley was to forge weapons, and not only that, but every time, carts and horses were needed to transport goods to the location of the imperial tomb."

"According to the rules of imperial tomb construction, this valley must be very far from the true location of the imperial tomb!"

"Just like the bricks and stones for the First Emperor's tomb; they weren't fired nearby, but were fired in the commanderies and counties before being transported to Mount Li."

"The construction of the Ming and Qing dynasty imperial tombs, which were closer in time, followed this rule as well!"

"If Genghis Khan's imperial tomb involved blinding people's eyes and preventing craftsmen from communicating with each other to ensure the tomb's location wouldn't be discovered,"

"then the imperial tomb wouldn't be so close to the valley!"

"Therefore, Cha Le Gai was either lying, or there was still a very important secret he hadn't told everyone!"

"But at this moment, the entire team, only Ban Jie Li was still sober. He had to tell the others the secret of the valley to guard against Cha Le Gai, but he needed to find an opportunity."

"This opportunity came quickly. After the team walked for another two or three hours, the light on the grassland began to dim."

"A highland appeared before everyone's eyes. This highland was very abrupt, like a patch of ringworm suddenly rising on the grassland!"

"But Cha Le Gai looked at the highland with excitement, turned his head, and said to everyone: Let's climb up; we are going to excavate overnight starting today!"
