Chapter 936 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 24
"The Gu family has specialized research in firearms?" Xie Yuchen also went to take a look and was somewhat surprised.
Upon hearing this, Gu Wusi simply smiled and did not reply.
The Gu family hadn't researched these things, but each of her puppets possessed some kind of skill.
"Miss, would you like to eat something else? It's cold, you should eat it while it's hot." Xingchen made two bowls of instant noodles and beckoned Gu Wusi over.
They hadn't been able to eat properly because of the sudden appearance of the human-faced owl.
"Okay, I'm here." Gu Wusi walked over.
It's not easy to start a fire in the snow, so we'll change to something else to eat once we get to the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds.
On Xie Yuchen's side, they just ate some dry rations to get by.
Sleeping at night is especially cold and a bit difficult.
The next day, as soon as it was light, everyone ate something and continued their journey.
Since they were going to the same destination, Gu Wusi did not refuse Xie Yuchen's suggestion to travel together.
On the way, apart from stopping to rest once, everyone kept going with full energy.
The snow on the mountain is very thick and deep, and it is very tiring to walk in the snow while wearing heavy clothes.
Gu Wusi's legs were slightly sore after walking for several days.
Not to mention others, who not only felt very cold, but also experienced significant aches and pains.
Ultimately, Gu Wusi's body was just an ordinary physical body; even with excellent physical strength, he would still feel tired.
During her rest, she secretly used her spiritual energy to circulate around her legs to relieve fatigue.
I had also been using spiritual energy to protect my body from the cold, but using both methods together was quite exhausting.
"Miss, let me carry you." Ah Jin noticed this when they were ahead.
He had been taking notes the whole way, and seeing that his master still didn't seem to want to rest, he finally made the suggestion.
Their puppets don't get tired, so they can carry heavy loads without rest.
“I’ll carry it too, we’ll take turns,” Xingchen said.
Gu Wusi shook his head: "We're almost there, I'm fine."
With the help of spiritual energy, she feels nothing at all now.
Hearing their words, Xie Yuchen said, "Let's rest one more time, and we can get to our destination before dark tonight."
"I'm fine with anything." Gu Wusi is fine with it, but we can't completely ignore the others.
"Master Hua is quite considerate of you, Miss," Hei Xiazi said, leaning closer. He was also tired but could bear it.
"I'm not the one who needs taking care of; look at how others are doing."
She's still standing, she's not tired at all.
The men that Xie Yuchen brought had already sat down as soon as they heard it was time to rest, and several of them looked rather unwell.
"Let everyone take a break." Xie Yuchen nodded; he also needed to rest for a while.
Gu Wusi found a place to sit down, took out her thermos, and took a sip of hot milk tea.
She was wearing a glacier blue windproof down jacket, snow boots, and a white furry hat.
Black Bear stood beside her, smoking a cigarette, but his eyes were downcast as he watched her smile, though it was unclear what he was laughing at.
Xie Yuchen glanced at him inexplicably: "What are you laughing at?"
"Look at this young lady, squatting on the ground looking like a ball, doesn't she look like an animal foraging for food in the snow?"
Xie Yuchen looked at it carefully and it did look somewhat similar, but he didn't say it aloud, he just smiled slightly.
"To correct you, I was sitting down," Gu Wusi said speechlessly.
Feeling a large hand coming towards her head, she quickly moved a step to the side.
Black Bear looked at his empty hand and laughed nonchalantly: "Oh, your reaction was pretty quick."
Gu Wusi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "If your hands are itching, have Xie Yuchen arrange something for you to do."
He's treating her like a little animal, daring to touch her even with a hand that's holding a cigarette.
"Hei Xiazi, let the others rest for a few more minutes, then get up, prepare your things, and set off," Xie Yuchen said with a smile.
"The boss himself gave the order, so I'll go right away."
"Miss, I caught a rabbit." Xingchen ran back from the side, carrying a gray and white rabbit in her hand.
Gu Wusi glanced at it and said, "It's quite fatty. We'll grill it and eat it tonight."
"Okay." Seeing that the rabbit was restless and kept moving around, Xingchen used her free hand to twist its neck.
Then, I took a bag, put it in my backpack.
"It's quite lucky to run into this rabbit in this cold weather," Xie Yuchen said.
Small animals are generally very sensitive and will not approach when they hear people talking.
Gu Wusi didn't speak, but that's not necessarily true.
They continued on their journey and finally entered the area of the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top before it got completely dark.
After entering, they found an empty palace and, after checking for any dangers, prepared to rest there for the night.
Gu Wusi shone his flashlight and scanned the layout of the hall.
This is the ground palace of the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds. Looking at the flying eaves and brackets, and the solemn murals, it is a place used for sacrifices.
On the surface, there seems to be no problem, but it actually contains elements of Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination). If you don't wander around, it's fine, but if you do, you're likely to lose your way.
Her people are all obedient and nothing will happen, but Xie Yuchen's people...
Fortunately, Hei Xiazi also noticed the problem and reminded him of it.
"It's best if everyone stays put and doesn't wander around. Let's all stay together and rest tonight."
As he spoke, he found a place to sit down.
Xie Yuchen knew that this kind of place might be dangerous, and he could also see some of the tricks of the trade.
So he said to the others, "Everyone, set up camp here, eat something, and rest for a few hours."
"Okay, Mr. Hua."
Gu Wusi sat down next to Xingchen, closed his eyes, and released his spiritual energy.
I want to see how big this place is, and also see where everyone else is now.
The aroma of mutton soup filled the air, making those who had traveled all day feel incredibly hungry.
Ah Jin had already started roasting rabbit meat. The sizzling, oily meat was roasted until golden brown, then sprinkled with salt and a handful of cumin.
The strong aroma filled the air, instantly making everyone's hearts flutter and their stomachs rumble.
This also made Gu Wusi unable to concentrate on anything else, so he opened his eyes and planned to eat something first.
Xingchen held a spoon and stirred the soup in the pot. The mutton, which had been prepared in advance, tasted great even after being stewed for a short time.
"The mutton soup will be ready soon, Miss, please wait a little longer."
"Hmm, I'm not in a hurry." Gu Wusi was eating a rabbit leg.
Hei Xiazi took a deep breath. The meat smelled good, but his fried rice was not bad either.
"Master Hua, Miss Gu, would you like a plate of green pepper and shredded pork fried rice?"
He opened his backpack, took out two boxes of fried rice, and put one of them on the fire to roast.
Xie Yuchen shook his head: "I don't eat green peppers, and besides, it's so cold, your food is all frozen."
"It's perfect when it's frozen; it preserves the food better, and you can just heat it up and eat it."
Gu Wusi was busy gnawing on the meat and didn't say anything, while waiting for the mutton soup.
"We're a bunch of green pepper fried rice, green pepper fried rice, it smells amazing, you know? We're in the snow-capped mountains, in the snow-capped mountains..."
Hei Xiazi looked at the fire, where his favorite green pepper and shredded pork fried rice was heating up, and hummed a song.
