Chapter 250 - I Am the King in the Forest

Jiang Hao was perplexed. Which Zhou Dynasty emperor were they referring to?

Was it King Wen of Zhou? King Wu? Or perhaps King You?

Or another Zhou ruler altogether?

To date, China had not managed to excavate the tomb of any Zhou emperor!

And what about the organization they mentioned? What was it?

But for now, these questions remained unanswered.

Jiang Hao's curiosity was piqued, and he resolved to delve deeper.

He gave Xiao Soong a pat, signaling him to stay put.

Then, tapping into his innate talent for Transformation, Jiang Hao swiftly altered his skin tone and slipped away, blending into the environment as he headed towards the source of the voices.

In no time, he spotted a group of individuals not too far off.

There were six of them.

Considering one had reportedly died, this meant their squad originally numbered seven.

Observing their gear, Jiang Hao immediately doubted they were mere tomb raiders.

“Mo, did you catch that? A rustling sound?”

Still uneasy, he turned to his companion for confirmation.

Alerted by the question, the other man perked up his ears to listen more closely.

Just then, a breeze whispered through the trees, stirring the leaves into a chorus of rustles.

Mistaking it for the wind's handiwork, he let down his guard and dismissed the concern casually.

“Old Seven, ease up. It's nothing but the wind playing with the leaves.”

Old Seven, though hesitant, did indeed sense the breeze himself.

Chalking it up to his own jitters, he decided to let it go.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hao, overhearing their exchange, couldn't help but snicker to himself.

“It seems even the heavens are on my side!”

With a single command, he unleashed the horde of venomous insects.

?In an instant, a swarm of them crept stealthily upon the unsuspecting group, making their way onto and into their clothes, wriggling close to their skin.

Simultaneously, from above, more insects descended from the branches, while others swooped in through the air.

?Then came a blood-curdling scream.

“Ah ~!”
