Book 1: Chapter 162

I looked at Liu Sang, who was listening with his eyes closed. After listening for a long time, he shook his head.

Although his ears werent as sensitive as hearing slaves, he could still hear enough information from any kind of sound. I breathed a sigh of relief. Fujians nature reserves were surrounded by various cities and counties, so although the area was very large, there would still be local legends and records if there were any beasts in the mountains.

"But its very strange," Liu Sang said.

"What do you mean?"

"The entire way here, did you hear any birds? The natural environment here is well protected, so why aren't there any bird calls? Moreover, I dont hear anything else around us besides the sound of the wind. When he said this, I looked around. Sure enough, the whole forest was very quiet in the setting sun. Liu Sang frowned as if he were trying to recall something, "After entering this valley and getting close to the royal poinciana, there gradually havent been any birds singing."This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Werent they all fucking scared away by the explosions earlier? I said to myself.

Liu Sang patted the branch next to me and said, Youre so fucking reliable. Didn't you say that there would be a mark? Did you misinterpret the message? There arent any fucking birds calling. It's just too fucking strange."

Liu Sang squatted down. "Don't you think the trees here are shorter than the ones we saw before? The lower half of these trees are all covered in soil."

I whistled and a folding shovel was tossed down from the tree. I caught it and looked at Liu Sang. He didn't say anything at all, so I had to dig by myself.

After digging for less than half of a meter, the shovel head hit something. I pushed the mud aside and saw several old tiles. I dug all the way around until I had made a pit that was about three meters wide. The ground under our feet was covered in neatly laid old tiles. I dug all the way under the tree and saw that it was actually growing out of a hole in the middle of the tiles.

I wanted to get a rope and go down. The tiles were very strong, but I managed to pull up a few and saw even more tiles below. After removing more than a dozen layers, I finally came upon an empty space. I used my flashlight to look around and found that there was a cavity below.

After looking around, I suddenly realized that the ground here had been raised a level. The people here had raised the ground by about a meter. After it was covered in soil, the bushes here had filled in the area for hundreds of years.

"Go down," Liu Sang said to me. "Theres no living thing inside." He listened carefully and then added, "Theres something in the southeast corner."

I looked at him and he looked at me before shaking his head, "You didn't hire me. Go down by yourself."
