Luo Feng was at a loss for words.
If not for Li Shishi, Luo Feng would have been able to enjoy the full extent of the dazzling Su Meiji’s assets.
Never had he expected Su Meiji to be frightened by something as minor as this.
“It’s not a snake! It’s a…
Luo Feng peered inside, and though it was only a silhouette, it was definitely not a slender creature.
After shining the light a few more times, a plump, rotund fellow appeared on the vines hanging from the cave.
Then, while twisting its round body, it scurried its way out of the cave.
Standing at one and a half meters tall, its walking gait was utterly adorable, complete with dark circles around its eyes.
“A giant panda, Luo Feng? Is it a giant panda?”
Su Meiji was genuinely astonished this time. Seeing a giant panda in the wild was far more precious and memorable than seeing one in a zoo.
“It’s actually a giant panda! It’s so cute!” Li Shishi really wanted to hug it. Why was this creature so adorable? The cutest part was when they ran; their appearance was utterly endearing.
“Awesome! Host, hurry up and catch it!”
“This will make us rich! One can sell for millions!”
“Hahaha! You guys, don’t fan the flames. I’m laughing to death. Do you want to inherit my Huabei inheritance?”
“Giant panda: not to brag, but you humans should try touching me!”
“Hmph! What national treasure? It’s just a treasured wildlife. If it dares to attack humans, we’ll kill it all the same!”
Luo Feng was also somewhat dumbfounded.
Not only was it his party members’ first time seeing this creature in the wild, but it was also his first time.
The odds of encountering a creature like this was even rarer than finding the tomb of a king.
“Roar! Roar! Roar!”
The wild panda, when faced with outsiders, was not as well-behaved and adorable as those in zoos.
It began growling at Luo Feng’s group but did not immediately attack.
“Ahh, I really want to pet you; even when you’re fierce, you’re so cute!”
Luo Feng was smitten, but he decided against touching it.
After all, no matter how cute it was, it was still a wild beast with combat power comparable to a tiger.
“Damn! Host, don’t leave; let’s watch it some more!”
“I’ve never seen a wild panda before!”
“I think it’s the first time I’ve seen one live… I’ve seen documentaries though!”
“Are all the wealthy second-generation kids here seeing this for the first time in the wild?”
“I really want to pet it! What a pity! There’s no chance!”
Checking the time, it was almost six or seven o’clock. Luo Feng led the rich second-generation kids to find a camping spot and settled down for the night.
In the evening, Luo Feng naturally gathered around the campfire and showcased his cooking skills.
Over the past few days, Su Meiji had praised Luo Feng’s cooking.
She jokingly said that if Luo Feng didn’t want to treasure hunt anymore, she would hire him as a cook at her health spa.
Of course, Su Meiji’s health spa was different from the steam massages and other offerings in domestic spas.
Her focus was on food therapy, with various supplements and meals.
All of it was beneficial to the body, and there were no fake ingredients. As a result, just going there daily for tea and porridge could significantly improve one’s health.
The only downside was their slightly higher than market prices.
“Although Old Luo’s cooking skills are good, we’re getting a bit tired of wild vegetables and dried beef!”
“Shall we go hunting?
“Hahaha, are we going to barbecue that panda from before?”
“I’m in!”
Just as everyone was discussing their boredom while eating wild vegetables and dried beef, something suddenly stirred in the bushes outside the camp.
“Is that a person?”
“No, it seems to be an animal!” “Could it be that creature again?
“Wild boar! Old Luo, they’re wild boars!”
Holy cow!
Multiple wild boars?
Are they here to steal our supplies?
Did they catch a whiff of our dried food and fruits?
“Ha ha ha, we’re in for a treat today! Let’s catch some wild boar!” Zhou Weiguo, a local heir, said as he picked up his personal crossbow.
“Old Zhou, what do you mean? These are protected animals!” Luo Feng immediately shouted.
“Protected? The wild boars in this area are overpopulated, causing great suffering to villagers living at the foot of the mountain. The local government even has a policy for hunting them! They’ve been protected so well that their population has become a threat to humans!” Zhou Weiguo explained.
Many of the wealthy young people present were invigorated.
It was finally time to hunt, and these youngsters had been starved of adrenaline for the past few days?
What better way to stave their boredom than to hunt these animals down?
After more than an hour and dozens of these rich kids working together, they managed to secure three large wild boars. After cleaning them, they put them on a grill, replacing the wild vegetables and dried meat as their meal for the night. The meat sizzled, and a tantalizing aroma filled the air as they sprinkled Old Luo’s secret chili powder over it. They cleaned and disinfected their knives, then sliced the meat and enjoyed their feast.
Of course, Luo Feng could not resist starting a livestream in the middle of the night to showcase their delicious meal. Unsurprisingly, he was greeted by countless people from the internet.
“You’re treasure hunting in the middle of the night, and you call yourself diligent?”
“Eating grilled wild boar?”
“And you’re streaming it?”
How could he not receive a warm welcome?
The next morning, they cleaned the leftover wild boar meat and paired it with other ingredients, providing enough for everyone’s breakfast. They continued on their journey, and after walking several kilometers, Luo Feng noticed something unusual about the area’s fengshui.
“There’s great fengshui here, everyone!”
Although he had yet to scan the area, Luo Feng could sense that this location had far better fengshui than the tomb they had discovered earlier.
“What makes this place so special? I can’t tell!”
“Mind explaining it to us?”
Luo Feng looked at Su Meiji, hoping she could provide an explanation. But this fengshui layout was different from the one they had encountered before, and thus, she did not know either.
“Before us lies a mountain stream, symbolizing the distant traveling dragon; the ancestral mountain gathers water to unfathomable depths!”
“The ridge is a vein’s highest peak, where the water and wood travel in a heavenly dragon formation. On the left, banners are aligned like a well-ordered army, while on the right, two bronze bells are held aloft.”
“The winding dragon returns, a golden eagle emerges from the mountain. The midday position is held by a celestial horse, as the dragon ascends a twelve-tiered heavenly ladder. Twenty-four corners provide protection, and the string of nine peaks is a marvel to behold.”
“Among them, the twelve-tiered ladder represents the willow branches in the shape of a dragon—graceful in appearance, with a high-leaping purple aura, signifying the noble dragon.”
Luo Feng laughed and began to describe the unique features of the landscape according to the fengshui scriptures he had been blessed with the knowledge with. This particular configuration was far more complex and rare than the one they had previously encountered.
Only someone with great fortune, or an emperor, could be buried in such a place with this type of fengshui. If someone else were buried here, the energy would not be contained, and it would cause misfortune to future generations.
Luo Feng grew increasingly astonished as he studied the area. In the Feng Shui scriptures, this kind of layout ranked in the top three.
At that moment, Luo Feng’s mind was filled with the names of many emperors.
“Could it be a tomb from the Yuan dynasty? After all, among ancient and modern imperial tombs, the Yuan dynasty’s imperial tombs are mostly undiscovered ! ”
However, the tombs of the Yuan Dynasty would most likely not be located in the Qinling Mountains. Their burial sites should be in the northern deserts.
“I don’t understand, but since the fengshui is good, shouldn’t we try searching?”
“Hahaha! I’m afraid that with such good fengshui, tomb robbers may have already been here!”
Seeing this, everyone was eager for Luo Feng to take action quickly.
“That said, there’s no need to rush, let me take another look!”
Luo Feng surveyed the area once more but suddenly furrowed his brow.. “Why is there an ominous aura in this place?”
