Chapter 1094 1093: The Third Wave
Yang Chen noticed that it wasn't a stone, but a black iron block.
He picked it up and opened it, inside was a small note.
Seeing the elegant handwriting, Yang Chen couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.
"It's fine, one of our own!" Yang Chen pocketed the note, said this to them, and walked out alone.
In the village, the terrain is uneven; some places are high, so they build houses on elevated ground, and when the terrain is low, they can only build houses in lower areas.
That's why the houses in the village appear layered, some higher, some lower, and the roads are similarly uneven. If you ride a bicycle or an electric scooter here, it's impossible to navigate the village. Even Yang Chen's car is parked outside the village.
Walking along the village road inward, you can see the farmland outside.
The vegetation is dense, with weeds and trees.
Walk further, and there's a small creek.
Beside the road, there's a downward path, not really a road, just a trail formed by frequent passage.
Going down, you reach the riverbank. Walking along the riverbank for a while, a few trees felled by heavy rain block the way.
According to the note's instructions, this is the spot.
However, there is no one here.
Yang Chen surveyed the area, searching.
Suddenly.
Swish!
A refreshing splash of river water hit him, making Yang Chen shiver.
"Hehe!" A light giggle, like a warbler, reached Yang Chen's ears.
Yang Chen turned his head and saw a black figure standing barefoot in the river, stirring the water, like a spirit in the water.
It's Left Envoy Yang!
Yang Chen felt a burst of excitement, "Why are you here?"
Left Envoy Yang splashed water at Yang Chen again, laughing, "If you can come, why can't I?"
Dodging the splash, Yang Chen slightly frowned.
Honestly, seeing Left Envoy Yang made him happy.
After traveling for days, feeling dull, seeing Left Envoy Yang was like encountering a beautiful scenery, instantly changing his mood.
But Yang Chen can't let Left Envoy Yang take risks here just because of his mood.
"No way!" Yang Chen said sternly, "It's still dangerous here; you must leave immediately!"
"Why am I in danger?" Left Envoy Yang laughed, cupping water from the river and eagerly showing it to Yang Chen, "Look, funny fish!"
Yang Chen glanced and saw a small fish fry swimming in the water.
Yang Chen helplessly said, "This time it's not a simple tomb-raid; you should hurry and leave! This place isn't suitable for you!"
Left Envoy Yang put the fry back into the water, saying lightly, "Danger? I'm not in danger; you're the ones in danger! No one knows I'm here, and no one can find me, so I'm not in any danger! For someone who doesn't exist, there's no danger!"
At this moment, Left Envoy Yang was completely different from her sullen and indifferent self in Ancheng, instead like a little girl, letting her nature show.
Maybe the mountains are too beautiful—peaceful and pure—making people unconsciously set their hearts free.
"Those woes!" Yang Chen stared at Left Envoy Yang, "You need to leave immediately! Otherwise, I'll have someone tie you up and take you away!"
"Do you even have the capability?" With that, Left Envoy Yang's jade hand slapped the water forcefully.
Bang!
Suddenly, a wave rose over two meters high, crashing towards Yang Chen.
Yang Chen frowned, giving a cold snort. A powerful aura emanated from him, like a transparent burst of energy blocking the incoming wave.
Left Envoy Yang, seeing this scene, couldn't help but shine with admiration, "Your Qi Force is so controlled; you've reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm!"
Yang Chen waved his hand, "To understand me deeply, you'll need to continue exploring, but now is not the time!"
With that said, Yang Chen rushed forward like an arrow.
In that instant, Yang Chen was like a cheetah, quicker than an arrow shot, appearing beside Left Envoy Yang, gripping her wrist.
Left Envoy Yang stood still, not hiding, quietly watching Yang Chen.
Already holding onto Left Envoy Yang's wrist, Yang Chen couldn't help but pause, because being watched by Left Envoy Yang like this, he couldn't make a move.
"Go on!" Left Envoy Yang teased.
Yang Chen showed a face full of awkwardness, unable to act.
"Hmph!"
Left Envoy Yang gave a sudden cold snort, her injury suddenly exerting force!
Yang Chen was caught off guard and couldn't react, being flipped to the ground by Left Envoy Yang!
Bang!
Yang Chen was pressed into the water by Left Envoy Yang, completely soaked.
Left Envoy Yang sat atop Yang Chen, staring at him, "So, I'm not in danger now; it's you who's in danger!"
At this moment, their clothes were soaked and clinging to their bodies.
Left Envoy Yang sitting atop Yang Chen was almost like wearing nothing—both could feel each other's warmth.
The most notable for Yang Chen, feeling the elasticity and softness of Left Envoy Yang sitting atop him…
Left Envoy Yang seemed to notice, quickly rose up, reaching out to wring the water from her skirt.
Yang Chen, however, sat submerged, reluctant to come out, worried he might expose himself if he stood.
Left Envoy Yang wrung her skirt, saying, "Aside from your group, the Xiang family has another team, all combat personnel!"
"I know, prepared for that!" Yang Chen frowned.
He had already investigated those details.
Left Envoy Yang said, "I certainly know you're aware, and I know you've sent Night Fire to investigate them!"
Yang Chen frowned, knowing Left Envoy Yang had been tracking them for some time.
"But!" Left Envoy Yang asked, "Do you know there's a third team?"
"A third team?" Yang Chen immediately sat up, looking at Left Envoy Yang.
Left Envoy Yang nodded slightly, walked ashore, took some photos from a tree, and handed them to Yang Chen, "They've already entered the mountain, likely starting the tomb exploration, right?"
Yang Chen hurriedly stood up, took the photos, and studied them carefully.
Due to the dark sky, the photos weren't very clear, with many trees visible—only silhouettes of people could be seen.
But the photos showed clearly: a team had entered Wowo Mountain!
Someone entered Wowo Mountain first!
Could the Xiang family have arranged this?
To prevent their team from obtaining undesired items after entering the mountain, they entered early to take them?
Or are others watching their operation?
Regardless, Yang Chen felt that this matter was likely not simple!
Immediately, Yang Chen prepared to return.
Left Envoy Yang quickly packed her things and followed.
Yang Chen frowned, "Don't show yourself! You better leave quickly!"
Left Envoy Yang pouted slightly, "So far away, and you'd let me return alone?"
Yang Chen, hearing this, felt a headache.
