"This..."
Wu Caijun and Wu Sandao were dumbfounded.
"Is it dead?"
The python twitched twice, then quickly stopped moving. The head inside its mouth tried to crawl out, but after just two attempts, Ye Guichen stabbed it directly with his dagger.
Ye Guichen’s hand was drenched in blood, holding a fist-sized snake gallbladder.
As the saying goes, if you strike a snake at its seven-inch mark, it will die. Taking the snake gallbladder ensures the snake, no matter how fierce, is finished.
After a long while, Wu Caijun and Wu Sandao ca to their senses, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Ye Guichen.
Ye Guichen gave the two of them a cold glance, his eyes filled with an endless killing intent. The two, who initially wanted to rummage through the tomb, shuddered and didn’t dare move.
Ye Guichen casually threw the python aside and carefully examined the coffin.
Besides so burial items, there was also a skeleton lying inside.
The skeleton didn’t seem large, but its precise age couldn’t be determined.
What surprised Ye Guichen was that the skeleton should have been weathered and brittle after all this ti, yet it was still intact despite all the disturbance.
"Could it be that the owner of this skeleton was not an ordinary person in life?" Ye Guichen wondered.
Another thing was the python, which had clearly been hiding here for a long ti. Who knows what mutation occurred to turn it into such a horrific Two-headed Snake?
But aside from that, Ye Guichen found no more clues.
"Even if the identity of this skeleton is unusual, it doesn’t seem to have much connection to my own background." Ye Guichen was a bit disappointed. He had hoped to find sothing, but it seed not very useful.
"You guys tidy up here, I’ll wait for you outside." Ye Guichen said to the two and turned to leave.
About an hour later, Wu Caijun and Wu Sandao crawled out of the hole, faces beaming with excitent.
Each of them was holding quite a few burial items.
"Benefactor, these... these seem to be antiques, they should be worth a lot of money." Wu Caijun exclaid in excitent.
Ye Guichen didn’t pay attention to the antiques, instead looking at Wu Caijun: "You have robbed tombs before, haven’t you?"
Wu Caijun froze, his face twitching a couple of tis.
Wu Sandao imdiately beca wary, raising his bone-knife defensively, as though fearing Ye Guichen might attack them.
Tomb raiding is not an honorable profession. If Ye Guichen wanted to report them, they would definitely end up in prison.
Wu Caijun struggled for a mont before pressing down Wu Sandao’s knife-wielding hand: "Benefactor, you have sharp eyes. You’re right, the two of us used to raid tombs, but after sothing happened and we lost a brother, we never did it again."
Earlier, they had witnessed Ye Guichen’s prowess in slaying the Two-headed Snake. If he intended to get tough, they knew that even with three heads and six arms, they wouldn’t be a match for him.
So they chose to be honest.
Ye Guichen didn’t ask much but silently nodded.
Wu Caijun, not daring to hide anything, recounted his experience to Ye Guichen in detail.
It turns out that Wu Caijun and Wu Sandao had previously raided tombs together with a companion nad Shen Lang. However, during one of their raids, Shen Lang t with an accident and died in the tomb, never to co out again.
After that incident, Wu Caijun and Wu Sandao went into hiding, assuming new identities in Yun City and living a peaceful life.
However, they remained extrely passionate about antiques. When he had nothing to do, Wu Caijun would visit Antique Street to pick up so bargains and resell antiques for so money.
This ti, they dug a hole under the Land God Temple. Wu Caijun had suspected that there might be a tomb, but rembering their brother’s death, he didn’t dare proceed.
Unexpectedly, Ye Guichen wanted to take a look, and Wu Caijun couldn’t resist the temptation and followed along.
"Benefactor, these items..." Wu Caijun looked at Ye Guichen for guidance.
Though these things might be valuable, how could they dare to keep them for themselves?
Ye Guichen took a glance and said indifferently: "Judging from their appearance, these items should be from the Western Han dynasty. This tomb does not belong to ordinary people; they were likely buried after an unexpected event. As for these burial items, you can decide what to do with them."
Without saying more, Ye Guichen dusted off his clothes and turned to leave.
Ye Guichen wasn’t interested in these things at all.
"Benefactor, y-you also know about antiques?" Wu Caijun asked, astonished by Ye Guichen’s words.
"A little."
"Benefactor, when we sell these items, we’ll send you the money."
Ye Guichen waved his hand silently.
After Ye Guichen left, Wu Sandao asked puzzled: "Bro, is he right? Are these items really from the Western Han dynasty?"
Wu Caijun finally had the chance to take out a goblet-like item and carefully examined it. Before long, his pupils widened in excitent: "Absolutely, this is definitely from the Western Han. The benefactor is truly amazing."
