Chapter 99: Fishing

"Damn it, what kind of place is this? Why can't we find the end no matter how long we walk?"

Tong Wang looked at the endless fog before him, his strange eyes glowing with anger.

"You should be the one asking that. Didn't you say you already had the information about Luo Qu's tomb? How come you can't even get out of this place?"

Ning Wang, looking unhappy, said coldly.

"The information I got wasn't detailed. I only knew this place is called the Hall of Confusion, but it didn't say how to get out!" Tong Wang seemed to have a bad temper too.

"Hmph, we're still wandering around here. Those humans have probably already entered the tomb and taken all the good stuff!" Ning Wang waved his hand.

"Damn it!" Tong Wang seemed to realize this too, and roared in anger. "They might not find the way out so quickly. If we hurry, we can catch one of them and force them to tell us!"

"That's all we can do now. Let's hurry up!"

Although Ning Wang didn't have much hope for this plan, there was no other choice, so he just coldly snorted.

"Everyone, follow me! Hmm?" Tong Wang waved his hand again, leading everyone forward. But after just a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Ning Wang asked.

"Look, what's that?"

Tong Wang pointed ahead.

Following his finger, they saw a golden object not far away, shining brightly in the gray air, extremely eye-catching.

"It looks like... a gold brick? How can there be a gold brick here? Could this be the treasure of Luo Qu's tomb?"

Ning Wang, with his peak Qi Master strength, could see farther with his mental power and immediately recognized the golden object as a gold brick!

How could there be a gold brick here? This is too strange!

"Let's go check it out!"

Gold is valuable not only among humans but also among demons. This gold brick on the ground weighed over ten pounds. If converted to silver, it would be a huge fortune.

"Indeed, it's gold. How can we find gold here?"

When they reached the gold bar, everyone looked around but found nothing unusual. The gold had no problems, and everyone felt a bit puzzled.

"Hmm? Look, there's another one up ahead!"

Tong Wang pointed again, and indeed, they saw another gold bar in the direction he pointed.

"I'll check it out!" This time, Ning Wang didn't wait for the others and leaped to the gold bar, bending down to pick it up.

This one was the same as the previous one, pure and clearly genuine. If converted to silver, it would be worth at least 12 taels.

"There's more..."

Tong Wang and the other five peak Armored Warrior realm experts came to Ning Wang and found another gold bar ahead, and it seemed to be getting closer.

"Could this be a trick by those humans?"

Picking up the third gold bar, they saw the fourth one ahead, even closer. Tong Wang hesitated.

"Trick? Do you think they brought so many gold bars with them? How is that possible?" Ning Wang sneered.

"That's true..."

They came to Luo Qu's tomb to find treasure, not to bring their own gold. That would be absurd.

Although there are Storage Dantian techniques in the world, very few people have such talents. Tong Wang and Ning Wang didn't believe these human guys had such people.

"I think these must have fallen off during the tomb's construction, and the craftsmen didn't steal them. If we follow these gold bars, we might find the way out and discover a huge treasure!"

Holding the gold, Ning Wang chuckled.

"This..." Tong Wang still seemed hesitant.

"What are you afraid of! The strongest of those humans is only at the initial Qi Master stage. In the Hall of Confusion, they can see even less than we can. By the time they spot us, we would have already seen them. Are you afraid they'll ambush us?"

Ning Wang coldly snorted.

"That's true! Alright, let's follow the gold and find the biggest treasure!" Tong Wang also smiled.

The eight demons continued forward. In less than ten minutes, they picked up over a dozen gold bricks. Although this wealth wasn't much for them, getting it for free made them extremely happy, and their vigilance gradually relaxed.

"Hmm, there's gold on both sides? Tong Wang, you take three and go this way, I'll take three and pick up the gold on the other side, then we'll meet up!"

After walking for a while, the line of gold bars suddenly split into two directions. Although they were not far apart, the distance was enough that even peak Qi Master experts couldn't see each other.

"Be careful. If anything goes wrong, shout!"

"Alright!" Tong Wang cautiously instructed.

Although they couldn't see each other, their mental power was blocked, but sound could still travel. At a distance of twenty to thirty meters, a loud shout would be heard clearly!

The eight people split into two groups and walked in different directions.

"Another split, strange!" Tong Wang led his subordinates in one direction for a while, picking up three gold bars, and found that the direction of the gold bars split again.

"Yao Zhang, Yao Qian, you two go this way and pick up the gold bars. When you get them, come back to me. I'll call you when I see you!"

Although he found it strange, Tong Wang didn't suspect anything and casually instructed two subordinates to go pick up the gold.

Even if these two peak Armored Warrior realm experts encountered danger and couldn't escape, they would have time to shout!

"Yes!" The two responded in unison and walked straight in the direction Tong Wang pointed.

These two had only Armored Warrior realm strength, and their mental power could only scan a range of about three meters, similar to Nie Yun. After walking about ten meters, they indeed saw a golden brick lying on the ground.

"Look, there's another one ahead!"

Picking up the gold bar, one of them suddenly pointed ahead, and indeed, there was another one about two meters away!

Earlier, they were behind Tong Wang and Ning Wang, with lower status and no right to pick up gold. Now, it was their turn to act. Seeing the gold bars right in front of them, they all excitedly called out and hurried forward.

Each time they picked up a gold bar, they found another one about three meters ahead. After picking up over ten gold bars, they were already over fifty meters away from Tong Wang.

If Tong Wang continued to move forward, the distance between them would have exceeded three hundred meters! (Tong Wang could see farther, and the distance between the gold bars would increase. Yao Zhang and Yao Qian would find a gold bar every three meters, while Tong Wang would find one every twenty meters. So, after they walked fifty meters, Tong Wang could have walked three hundred meters!)

"Who would have thought there would be so much gold? We're going to get rich! Even if we don't get any of the treasures from Luo Qu's tomb, this trip will still be worth it!"

Holding the gold in their arms, Yao Zhang and Yao Qian laughed excitedly. But before their laughter ended, they heard a swift wind behind them, followed by a flash of an axe blade.

Splash!

The gold in their arms scattered, and two large heads fell heavily to the ground.
