Chapter 100: Comparing Treasures

When the crowd ran out of the tomb-robbing tunnel, they all gasped for air, breathing the fresh air outside desperately. Their tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment, and everyone had an urge to cry loudly.

That stretch of road just now was truly too thrilling; they still couldn't believe they would come out alive.

The Dream Butterfly Gu chased to this point, but ultimately didn't run out to the ground and retreated back. But Long Bao was still uneasy and ordered the Earth Mover Beetle to throw a pile of soil balls to completely block the tomb-robbing tunnel before breathing a sigh of relief.

At this time, the clothes on his back were soaked through, and he was covered in cold sweat.

"What exactly happened? How come only so few people came out alive?"

A crowd of Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivators from various clans greeted them with livid faces at this time.

Long Lie also ran over, counted in the crowd, and discovered that only four people from the Long Clan came out alive, his face immediately turning black.

The team-leading Gu cultivators of the other clans also had ugly expressions; basically, only three or four people came out from each family, which was no different from total annihilation.

The team-leading Gu cultivators of various clans asked one after another what exactly happened in the tomb.

Thus, the lie fabricated by Long Xuan finally played its role.

The surviving Gu cultivators of various clans all pointed at the direction of the Lei Clan camp, their expressions angry, accusing them of their crimes, claiming that if they hadn't blown the tomb-robbing tunnel shut, even if a shocking change had occurred in the tomb, so many people wouldn't have died.

Thus, all the team-leading Gu cultivators' expressions turned ugly, and they looked at the group of Lei Clan Gu cultivators with eyes full of anger together.

"You must give us an explanation!"

"Who exactly is that youth! Is it really a Gu King you mixed in!"

"Do you dare to let us inspect!"

Arguments soon broke out over there, and that Lei Clan Ancestor, seeing that the matter was exposed, was actually still pretending to be innocent there, pretending to be a simple and naive little youth, his eyes even carrying ignorance. His acting was truly not bad.

However, no matter how he pretended, it was useless. The more he refused to be inspected, the more it proved he had a guilty conscience. He couldn't continue pretending no matter what.

If it could be said that they only believed ninety percent just now, seeing the Lei Clan's team-leading Gu cultivator making all kinds of excuses and refusing to be inspected, they thoroughly believed ten percent at this moment, and everyone was furious.

The angry Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivators also included the Gu Clan and the Feng Clan, who didn't mention at all that their own families had also sent a Gu King avatar in.

At this time, they also pretended to be victims, really thinking that their own Gu King avatar had already died in the tomb and there would be no proof. They waited to see a good show later.

However, after the crowd argued for a long time, they ultimately didn't fight. They decided to finish the gambling game first. They were actually still thinking about the seven superior strange Gu, which made Long Xuan very disappointed.

He walked behind Long Lie and whispered: "The Yaoguang Female Emperor seems to have resurrected. I speculate that she has already run out, but I don't know when she ran out. Did you see a golden shadow fly out just now?"

He scanned the ancient tomb once and didn't find any suspicious progress. Progress wouldn't lie, so his speculation was that the Female Emperor had already run out and was not in the tomb.

Upon hearing this, Long Lie's pupils shrank, thoroughly startled by Long Xuan's words, and said somewhat uncertainly: "Is there? Didn't notice. I've been staring at those seven superior strange Gu. Maybe a golden shadow flew out? I don't know either."

Long Xuan's face turned black. He knew this Long Lie was unreliable. He didn't even know if anyone ran out of the tomb-robbing tunnel; what could he know?

Long Lie changed the subject and said again: "The dead cannot return to life. How could she easily come back to life unless she hadn't died at all from the beginning."

"Whether she died or not, this isn't something we should worry about. Let the clan's upper echelons have a headache. The top priority is to complete the gambling game. You didn't have many people survive at all; the gambling game will end soon."

"What things have you brought out from the ancient tomb? Take them out quickly?"

Long Lie was actually still thinking about the gambling game at this time.

Long Xuan was helpless. First, he scanned around with the Heavenly Mechanism Eye. After finding no suspicious progress, he felt slightly relieved in his heart and replied casually: "I'll be the finale. You inspect others first."

Long Xuan intended to see what methods the clan used to inspect whether they were hiding anything privately, and then make plans.

At the same time, he also quietly returned the Shadow Recording Gu that recorded the criminal evidence of the Gu and Feng clans to Long Lie, without letting anyone notice his actions.

"Attribute this credit to someone else; I don't want it."

After Long Xuan finished this sentence with soul transmission, he turned and left.

Long Lie was a bit confused, but it wasn't hard for him to guess that something incredible must have been recorded inside. He was thoughtful.

Originally, not many people survived, and just when Long Xuan and he were talking secretly, the other clans had already finished counting their gains in the ancient tomb. Only the Long Clan side hadn't moved yet, so a crowd of Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivators walked toward this side one after another.

Many people had expressions as ugly as if their mothers had died.

"Hehe! Long Lie, hurry up. What are you dawdling there for?"

"I advise you to admit defeat quickly. Our clan brought out one hundred and eighty Spirit-Charging Grasses from the tomb, which is now the highest gain in the entire field. The Gu Clan has one hundred and seventy-five Spirit-Charging Grasses, ranking second."

"Now we are just waiting for you, show your treasures quickly!"

Unsurprisingly, the one speaking was Feng Yu, the team-leading Gu cultivator of the Feng Clan who was at odds with the Long Clan in everything.

Long Xuan glanced at that person, thinking that as he expected, those two ancestors really had handed over all the treasures on their bodies to others to bring out.

He wasn't surprised in his heart. These Spirit-Charging Grasses were all obtained by the Feng Clan Ancestor killing all the Gu cultivators in the field. He had already anticipated this quantity.

Upon hearing this, Long Lie's expression changed instantly. It was actually one hundred and eighty Spirit-Charging Grasses! How on earth did they get them!

Although Spirit-Charging Grass was a first-grade spirit medicine, it was definitely not the value of a first-grade spirit medicine. The value of this thing was enough to bankrupt a Spirit Gathering peak Gu cultivator.

The things that could be taken in the tomb had basically been taken. The things with the greatest value were probably the Spirit-Charging Grasses.

Actually one hundred and eighty Spirit-Charging Grasses, my god!

Long Lie trembled in his heart, his face immediately collapsed, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

At this time, where did he still have the confidence from just now? He was thoroughly empty and no longer had much confidence in the subsequent victory.

At this time, he could only place all his hope on Long Ziyan.

He immediately turned his head to look at Long Ziyan and asked hurriedly: "Ziyan, what did you find in the ancient tomb?"

He looked at her expectantly, as if looking at a straw to save his life, his eyes eager.

However, he was destined to be disappointed.

Long Ziyan stood in place, actually motionless, her expression complex. It wasn't an awkward look; she just blushed slightly, not knowing what she was thinking of.

In total, there was less than half a day of time. She first went to the medicine garden and delayed for a while, and after coming out of the medicine garden, she had been chased and killed by the Lei Clan's Gu cultivators.

After finally getting rid of the chase, she spent three hours in a small mountain cave with her little junior brother. In the remaining time, she went to the sleeping hall and found nothing.

So her gain from this trip was zero; she had no gains at all.

She was destined to disappoint Long Lie. Unable to bear looking at Long Lie's expectant gaze again, she turned her head to look elsewhere.

Long Lie had ultimately trusted the wrong person.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat. No way? No way! My eldest young lady! What do you mean by turning your head elsewhere? This is going to kill people!

Long Lie's face turned pale, covering his trembling heart, and a feeling that the situation was gone arose.

"Hahaha... if I'm not mistaken! You didn't get anything, right!"

"I wondered what kind of genius could make Long Lie confidently open this kind of gambling game, could make him so inflated. I thought there was really some incredible genius in the team."

"And it's just this? Hahaha... it really makes me laugh to death!"

Long Lie's face turned black. With a last glimmer of fantasy in his heart, he pointed at Long Bao and said: "You! Just you! Take out all your gains in the ancient tomb."

Long Bao's expression froze. He walked forward slowly and took out a pile of junk from his storage bag and placed it on the ground. Long Lie's face turned even blacker instantly.

Most of them were worthless antiques, as well as clothing worn by dead corpses in the burial pit and some weapons. Because of the long time, those weapons were pitted and could no longer be used.

Although they were worth a little money, compared to the Spirit-Charging Grass, they were simply too far behind and couldn't be compared to one hundred and eighty Spirit-Charging Grasses at all.

Long Xuan looked at Long Bao's butt with a strange gaze at this time. In his line of sight, progress actually appeared on Long Bao's butt.

Good fellow, he wouldn't have stuffed one of the treasures into his asshole, would he? This is too bizarre; this is a ruthless person!

Stuffing treasures into the asshole to avoid inspection was indeed a method, and it was also a good method. It's just that I don't know if it can succeed.

He was truly curious at this time. What method did the clan use to judge whether the people entering the tomb were hiding anything privately, and whether they could inspect the treasures he had hidden so deeply? He revealed a curious look.

Just when Long Xuan was full of expectation, he saw Long Lie take out an object that was incomparably familiar to him, and his pupils shrank instantly.

Appearing in Long Lie's palm was none other than a golden-colored toad. He was very familiar with this toad. Good fellow, isn't this the unique Gu insect exclusive to the Qian Clan Merchant Association—the Honesty Gu?

The clan has great magical powers, actually borrowing the Qian Clan Merchant Association's Honesty Gu. Isn't Long Bao finished now?

He looked at Long Bao with sympathetic eyes, silently mourning for him in his heart.

"Long Bao! Do you have any hidden treasures!" Long Lie asked, holding the Honesty Gu in his palm, walking to Long Bao's front.

That Honesty Gu looked at him with burning eyes.

Long Bao's expression froze, and cold sweat flowed out instantly. He felt guilty and didn't dare to look at the Honesty Gu at all, but at this time he could only bite the bullet and say: "No more! Just these!"

As soon as his voice fell, the Honesty Gu's eyes flickered wildly, shining dazzlingly.

The Honesty Gu revealed an angry look, pouncing up, wanting to eat this guy who didn't keep honesty in one bite.

"Calm down! Calm down!"

Long Lie hurriedly mediated, pulled the Honesty Gu, turned his head to look at Long Bao, and said with a black face: "Good for you, Long Bao! You actually dare to hide treasures. Take him down for me and search him thoroughly!"

Two Long Clan Law Enforcers at the Marrow Cleansing Stage immediately pounced up with ferocious faces, carrying him and walking toward the distance.

Long Bao shouted and yelled incessantly: "Despicable! Why didn't you say so earlier if you had the Honesty Gu? If you had taken the Honesty Gu out earlier, nothing would have happened! Just didn't say..."

Long Bao's shouting voice went further and further away...

Long Lie sneered. What did I say earlier? Who would dare to commit a crime if I said it earlier? He just didn't say it earlier.

Seeing this scene, Long Yan was so scared that he shivered, hurriedly opened his mouth, pulled a rope from his mouth, and a necklace was dragged out from his stomach just like that.

Long Xuan's eyebrows jumped wildly. Good fellow, these are all talents.

In order to hide treasures privately, they really used every possible means. He was truly convinced.
