My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 160 - 159: Journey to Kunlun (Part 2)

Guided by the map, Gao Fei and his companions arrived at the heart of the Kunlun Mountains.

"It should be here." Gao Fei carefully compared the map for quite some time, and finally concluded, "This is the place marked on the map." Gao Fei activated Clairvoyance and scanned the surroundings but didn't find anything abnormal. With his current level of cultivation, Clairvoyance could only see up to a hundred meters; beyond that, it was somewhat strenuous.

What Gao Fei relied on was Clairvoyance, and once Clairvoyance lost its effectiveness, he was out of options.

Xia Tao turned his head to Gu Qi and Zhou Yong, "It's up to you two, find the ancient tomb as quickly as possible."

"Alright." Gu Qi and Zhou Yong nodded in unison.

Gu Qi took out a Compass from his backpack and started wandering around.

Zhou Yong pulled out a military shovel, crouched down, and tapped the rock on the ground. With each stone he knocked loose, he would sniff it closely and sometimes even lick it, then furrow his brow in thought. After a moment, he would continue tapping the rocks on the ground.

"Both of them are skilled in surveying ancient tombs," Xia Tao whispered. "The archaeological team tried several times to recruit them, but I refused. They are talents that are hard to come by, and I need them as well."

Gao Fei nodded, "You have quite a few capable people under you."

"My team is a real mishmash, requiring all sorts of talents," Xia Tao chuckled. "Some are computer experts, some are fighting masters, others are masters of infiltration, especially skilled at gathering intelligence..." Xia Tao listed several types of talents in one breath. "Normally, we're like family, laughing and joking together, which makes it quite joyful.

I never put on airs in front of them and try my best to blend in with them."

"You're a good leader; it's their good fortune to work under you," Gao Fei said.

"No," Xia Tao shook his head, "Having them is my good fortune; without their help, I wouldn't have made it this far."

A good boss leading a team of capable subordinates forms an exceptionally cohesive team, overcoming all obstacles in their path, charging forward bravely, and achieving countless feats!

"We've found it!" Gu Qi and Zhou Yong shouted loudly.

Gao Fei's spirits lifted, and he strode over, with Xia Tao closely following behind.

"If nothing goes wrong, the entrance to the ancient tomb should be in this direction," Zhou Yong said, tapping the rock beneath his feet with a shovel.

"The magnetic field here is very chaotic," said Gu Qi, eyeing the Compass in his hand. "It's like the eye of a storm, very strange."

Gao Fei stared at the spot Zhou Yong was pointing at for a long time. Even when he pushed Clairvoyance to its limit, he couldn't detect any trace of the ancient tomb. He raised his eyebrows and asked Zhou Yong, "What's the level of certainty?"

"About seventy percent," Zhou Yong thought for a moment and then replied.

Gu Qi added from the side, "Searching for ancient tombs is a very mentally demanding task, and no one dares to guarantee a hundred percent success rate."

"Seventy percent is not low," Gao Fei nodded. "Start digging; we'll know if there's an ancient tomb underneath once we break through."

"The area is full of rocks; the excavation will be difficult," Zhou Yong frowned.

"It would be very difficult to excavate by hand; it'd be best to get a few diggers," Gu Qi suggested.

"No need for something so troublesome, everyone step back," Gao Fei gestured with his hand.

"What?" Zhou Yong and Gu Qi were both stunned.

"I told you all to step back, didn't you hear me?" Gao Fei repeated.

Xia Tao immediately stepped forward, pulling Zhou Yong and Gu Qi to one side.

"Boss, what is Mr. Gao intending to do?" Gu Qi asked with a perplexed face. "Does he want to dig by himself? That's a joke. The place is full of rocks, and digging by hand would be very difficult."

"Just watch carefully, and keep quiet," Xia Tao said expressionlessly.

...

Gao Fei took a deep breath, then raised his fist and smashed it down hard on the ground.

"Boom!!!"

A loud bang ensued.

Cracks appeared on the ground, and all the rocks within several meters around Gao Fei shattered.

"My God! What did I just see!" Gu Qi's mouth gaped wide open, his face etched with disbelief.

Zhou Yong was also stunned, deeply shaken.

Xia Tao's mouth twitched severely; he knew Gao Fei was formidable, but he hadn't expected him to be this formidable.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Gao Fei hurled more than a dozen furious punches at the ground, then stepped back. "Come over here and clear away the rubble."

Xia Tao immediately led Gu Qi and Zhou Yong over, the three of them rolled up their sleeves and began to clear the broken stones from the ground.

After the rubble was cleared, a large hole more than five meters deep appeared on the ground.

Xia Tao and the others couldn't help but grin in awe. This was simply inhuman! So awesome, incredibly awesome!

In the following time, Gao Fei was responsible for smashing the rocks, while Xia Tao and the others were in charge of clearing the rubble. The two groups worked together in perfect harmony... They toiled away until nightfall, only stopping to rest when the pit had reached a depth of several dozen meters.

Gu Qi and Zhou Yong made a campfire and then started grilling meat. Soon after, the aroma of the meat wafted through the air.

"It's ready, time to eat," Gu Qi called out loudly.

Gao Fei and Xia Tao gathered around, picked up the cooked meat, and began to eat. At this point, Zhou Yong took out several bottles of baijiu from his backpack, handed out one to each person and they all began to drink, eat, and chat away merrily.

"Mr. Gao, how did you train to become so powerful?" Gu Qi asked curiously, encouraged by the alcohol. "You're like a superhero!"

"Yeah, Mr. Gao!" Zhou Yong nodded vigorously. "Can you teach me? I want to become a superhero too!"

"Nonsense!" Xia Tao glared. "Shut up and just drink and eat your meat!"

"Hehe..." Gao Fei smiled and waved his hand dismissively. "I'm not a superhero! I'm just an ordinary person of flesh and blood. I like to ponder on things when I have nothing to do, and through constant contemplation, I have cultivated some good skills."

Gu Qi and Zhou Yong were dumbstruck, blinking their eyes. "Contemplation... can lead to good skills? How does that work?"

"Enough with the questions, let's eat the meat before it gets cold," Xia Tao knew Gao Fei didn't want to talk more about himself, so he stopped his subordinates from asking further.

After being scolded by Xia Tao, Gu Qi and Zhou Yong closed their mouths and stopped prying into Gao Fei's affairs.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

A gust of wind suddenly blew over, causing the flames to shoot up with a "crackle and pop" sound.

"Awoo..." A howl of an animal came from a distance, sounding like a wolf's call. The deep woods held many species of wildlife, especially at night, when it's the time for animals to roam. Therefore, when entering the wilderness, one must always be careful. A slight oversight could mean becoming prey for the ferocious beasts.

"Actually, wolf meat tastes pretty good," Gu Qi chuckled. "How about it... should I go catch a few wolves?"

"No," Xia Tao shook his head. "Wolves are social animals and they hold grudges. If you provoke one wolf, you might end up drawing a whole pack to us."

"What's there to fear? If one comes, I'll kill one; if a group comes, I'll kill them all!" said Gu Qi, completely unconcerned.

"We are here to survey ancient tombs, not to invite trouble," Xia Tao tapped Gu Qi's head with a finger. "You better behave. If you stir up trouble, I won't let you off easily."

"I was just saying it, don't take it seriously if you disagree," Gu Qi muttered. "It's been so long since I've eaten wolf meat... I can't even crave it..."

"Gu Qi, sing a song for everyone, how about 'Loyalty to the Country'?" To lighten the mood, Zhou Yong stepped in to smooth things over. "Come on, let your singing voice shine, let us all have a good listen! Hurry up."

"Alright, I'll sing. My throat's been itching to sing." Gu Qi cleared his throat and began, "The beacon fires rise, looking to the north from the rivers and hills, the dragon whirls, horses neigh, Sword Qi as cold as frost, heart like the boundless Yellow River, who could vie over twenty years of strife, a rage to hate, whenever the Long Saber points...

I wish to defend our land and reclaim territory, may our mighty China invite the four corners to celebrate..."

The singing was resonant and soul-stirring, with incredibly moving lyrics.

"Great! Well sung!" Zhou Yong applauded enthusiastically. "Sung so well!" Every time Gu Qi sang this song, Zhou Yong's blood boiled with excitement, filled with the desire to join the battlefield, to fight and defend his country, vowing to never surrender.

Gao Fei nodded, "Indeed well sung, very inspiring. If you entered a talent show, you'd definitely win a prize."

"Don't flatter him too much, otherwise he'll start showing off," laughed Xia Tao.

"Another one!" Zhou Yong wasn't satisfied. "None of us have had enough yet!"

"Alright, one more!" Gu Qi, also not ready to stop, took another drink and then began to sing loudly again, this time a song about soldiers, just as heart-shaking as before.

With the sonorous singing, delicious grilled meat, and the strong fragrance of baijiu... everyone had a joyful night.

The night passed by quickly.

The next morning, after breakfast, they resumed their excavation, with Gao Fei smashing rocks and Xia Tao and the others clearing the rubble, all in perfect harmony just like the day before.

Soon, darkness fell once more.

"Phew..." Xia Tao wiped the sweat from his face. "Motherf***er, why haven't we seen the ancient tomb yet?"

Gu Qi gestured with his hands. "The pit is now over a hundred meters deep... This ancient tomb is really well hidden." They had prepared a lot of tools for the trip, and now all were coming in handy.

"Could we... have got the wrong place?" Xia Tao asked gravely.

"It shouldn't be," Gu Qi also started to doubt at this moment.

"You wait here, I'll go down and have a look." Without waiting for a reply from Xia Tao and others, Gao Fei leaped down into the pit.

The hundred-meter height was no challenge for Gao Fei at all; he reached the bottom effortlessly.

Gao Fei activated his Clairvoyance and looked down below. After a moment, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, "There's something down there... dark and ominous... like an ancient tomb... It seems we've got the right place." After carefully checking several times, Gao Fei leaped back to the surface.
