Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 326 Bai Xun Arrives at Xinchuan Ridge

The group returned to the secret base from the tomb.

One night, Sun Xiaowu suddenly felt an indescribable itching sensation on his palm. He scratched a few times, but it didn't relieve the pain. He scratched again, but no matter how hard he scratched, he couldn't dispel the discomfort that was welling up from deep within his skin.

Soon, the itching began to spread, from his palms to his arms. His nails scratched red marks on his skin, some even oozing blood. But the more he touched and scratched, the more the itching intensified, like ants clinging to his bones, piercing his heart and lungs.

His brows were furrowed, beads of sweat formed on his forehead, his breathing became rapid, and his chest rose and fell unsteadily. The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously from his desperate efforts to endure, and his entire body was shaking violently from the uncontrollable scratching.

Soon the itching spread all over his body, and his scalp felt like it was being bitten by countless insects. He scratched his scalp frantically until chunks of scalp were pulled off along with his hair, and blood was dripping.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh..." He rolled off the bed and rolled on the ground in pain.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

The other people in the room were woken up. Shi Tou lit the oil lamp and everyone was stunned by the scene before them.

Sun Xiaowu's body was covered in scratches, many of which had been torn apart. He had also scratched a large part of his face, which was covered in blood and looked very scary.

"Xiao Wu! What's wrong with you?" Shi Tou hurried over and shouted, "Go call Shopkeeper Shi and Brother Ming He!"

Nanchun heard the noise, quickly put on her clothes and came out of the house.

I happened to meet Manager Shi and Li Minghe who were rushing over here.

"What's wrong?" Nanchun asked hurriedly.

"Something happened to Xiaowu!"

Nanchun entered the house and saw Sun Xiaowu's miserable condition, and couldn't help but gasp.

"What's going on?" Li Minghe was shocked.

Shopkeeper Shi frowned and asked, "Sun Xiaowu, did you take anything from the tomb without permission?"

Sun Xiaowu trembled and scratched his ulcerated cheek: "Gold...Gold beans..."

Shopkeeper Shi looked at his bed and saw indeed more than a dozen golden beans.

Shopkeeper Shi sighed heavily. "Alas! Didn't I tell you not to keep anything from the tomb? For safety's sake, I always have everyone wear gloves when entering unexplored tombs! Don't touch anything! My arm is a lesson for me!"

Nanchun was shocked.

Those golden beans are poisonous!

Li Minghe hurriedly took out the medicine to treat his injuries and applied it to him. But it had no effect at all. Sun Xiaowu wailed in pain, scratching his body even though it was bruised.

The scene was both sad and frightening.

"Kill...kill me! I can't stand it anymore...kill me quickly..." Sun Xiaowu begged.

Shitou gritted his teeth and shot Sun Xiaowu right between the eyebrows.

Li Minghe could only feel the taste of blood in his throat. He said painfully, "This is why I repeatedly warned you not to take anything from the tomb. We have suffered enough... We have really suffered enough.

"The Fourth Master has never wronged anyone financially! He has never taken anything from the tomb for himself. He doesn't allow anyone to take anything from the tomb for their own safety!"

Shopkeeper Shi sighed and said, "Give him a proper burial!"

Li Minghe did not come back until late at night.

Nanchun tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she put on her clothes and went out.

Li Minghe was sitting outside the cave smoking. When he saw Nanchun coming, he hurriedly wiped away his tears.

"It's so late, why aren't you asleep?"

Nanchun sat down beside him: "I can't sleep."

"Are you scared?" Li Minghe exhaled a puff of smoke.

Nanchun didn't say anything.

"Most of those who get into trouble in the tomb do so because of greed. The greedier you are, the faster you die. If you're already dead, what's the point of all that gold and silver? Do you really think that planting the golden beans in the Immortal Palace will yield countless golden beans?

Well, his death has alerted everyone. Several people are terrified to learn that he suffered because of the golden bean! If his symptoms hadn't manifested for a few days, I'm afraid half of our team would have been wiped out.

"Who wouldn't be greedy for money? Besides, there are countless golden beans in the soil, they're not precious artifacts, and they might actually produce gold. So, just take them!" Li Minghe said with a wry smile.

"To be honest, I admire you very much. There are very few people who can resist temptation again and again." Nan Chun said.

"Yes, so I don't blame him, I just feel sorry for him." Li Minghe said.

Nanchun looked up at the dark sky. The night was so quiet that it was scary.

"Brother Minghe, Wang Dazhu is missing!" Shitou ran over and said anxiously.

"What do you mean 'missing'?" Li Minghe asked, standing up.

"He just went with us to bury Sun Xiaowu. After the burial, he said he needed to go to the bathroom and asked us to go first. It's been half an hour and he hasn't come back yet." Shi Tou said.

"Find it quickly!" Li Minghe said with a frown.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Wait, go in first and wake everyone up!" said Li Minghe.

After saying that, Li Minghe ran into the cave. When he got inside, he went straight to Wang Dazhu's bunk and searched carefully.

Gone……

The amulet that Wang Dazhu had always kept under his pillow was gone.

The thing he was most worried about happened.

"Come on, all of you follow me out to look for it..." Shitou picked up his weapon and was about to go out.

"Stop looking for him! He ran away on his own!" Li Minghe said with a gloomy face.

"Run away by yourself?" Shi Tou looked at him in surprise.

"His amulet is missing, and his purse is missing too," said Li Minghe.

"Oh! This damn Wang Dazhu! Isn't this just causing trouble?" Shi Tou was angry and anxious.

Shopkeeper Shi said in a deep voice, "The Fourth Master said before that anyone who doesn't want to stay can tell Ming He, and the Fourth Master will send someone to pick them up. There are dangers lurking everywhere out there. If you leave the team without permission, what will happen if you fall into the hands of the Bai family?"

"I'm afraid this place is about to be exposed. Everyone, hurry up and pack up and retreat to the cave inside!" said Li Minghe.

Bad things happened one after another and everyone stayed awake all night.

The sky was turning white, and Wang Dazhu quickened his pace. After seeing how Sun Xiaowu died, he was really scared.

Now he just wants to escape from this hellhole, run far away, and live his whole life in hiding.

Before dawn, Bai Xun and a dozen people quietly entered Xinchuanling.

Suddenly, Guan Fang, who was exploring the way ahead, made a "stop" gesture.

Bai Xun led his team to hide quickly.

Wang Dazhu looked back while running. For some reason, no one caught up with him, which made him feel uneasy.

Just as he turned around again, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from the side, covered his mouth, and dragged him into the grass by the roadside.

He widened his eyes and looked at the person who came in horror.

Immediately afterwards, several people suddenly appeared on the road he had just walked on.

"Hey, where's that person? Why is he gone?"

"Brother Feng, should we continue chasing?"

Bai Yufeng looked around and said, "Even if we can't find where they're going, we can always find where they're coming from. Let's go back and gather everyone and their weapons. We'll find their lair soon!"
