There must be something wrong with me-Chapter 581 - 213: A Great Harvest

"Is this the remains of a Golden Core Immortal?" Several security personnel were also startled and stepped back a few paces.

He, both shocked and curious, stepped forward.

"Awesome!" Zhou exclaimed, giving a thumbs up. He couldn’t believe Zhang Feng single-handedly ’broke through’ the Six Paths and captured King Yama.

"There’s nothing strong about it," Zhang Feng candidly replied amid the crowd’s astonishment. "If the Great Yama were still alive and at his peak, I probably would have been easily subdued before even seeing him."

Zhang Feng carefully placed the bones on the ground,

"But now, he’s been dead for many years.

Moreover, the legacy he left contains no combat techniques.

I was only lucky to obtain his Six Paths Reincarnation technique."

"Zhang Daochang, you’re being too modest..." The others didn’t feel lucky at all; instead, they sensed danger everywhere.

Even without mentioning the disgusting lizards below and the unknown even further down,

just the previous labyrinth was enough to trap them here.

Because the surrounding bluestone was incredibly smooth, making it hard to climb, and the top was truly like a bridge; the sides sloped inward, causing any claws or hooks to slip off.

Of course, if the entire organization claims a mountain for development, using machinery and more personnel, problems could be solved.

But making a commotion so big might let the officials find out.

And regarding such bizarre technology that would certainly cause panic, it naturally wouldn’t be left for them.

If not claiming a mountain, but rather bringing in a complete set of facilities directly, this sneaky approach would attract even more attention.

They had experienced this once, so a small elite force was best.

This was their conclusion.

But it was also highly dangerous.

They all knew this.

But for now, the operation could be considered a ’Perfect success.’

...

Half a day later.

Zhang Feng led them out of the Underworld, into the outside forest.

Along the way, they didn’t encounter that unknown creature.

Instead, outside the cave, they saw the security personnel who had ’evacuated in advance.’

"Boss, you guys made it out!"

Seeing Zhang Feng and the others emerge, they quickly gathered around, acting concerned yet somewhat guilty.

But their eyes mainly focused on the bones He and Zhou were carrying.

The two used a simple stretcher prepared for the expedition to carry the Great Yama out.

All the way, the boss had been studying these Yama Texts, occasionally translating for Zhang Feng.

"Hmm..."

At this moment,

the boss, faced with these people’s concerned greetings, had no interest in conversing.

Driven by curiosity, his focus was more on the bones.

But remembering something, he asked the guilty security personnel, "Did you contact the company?"

"No..."

Hearing the boss speak, one cautiously glanced at Zhang Feng, then replied, "This forest has no signal, and the satellite phone can’t connect either.

So we thought, let’s wait a bit. If we still can’t get through and you guys haven’t come out, we’ll go in to find you..."

He offered an excuse,

’We’re not scared and running away; we’re actually worried about you.’

Besides, seeing the phone didn’t work, we immediately prepared for a rescue!

After all, everyone’s an adult, and the pleasantries sounded grand.

But the boss ignored these matters, directly saying, "We’ve explored the Underworld, got what we needed. Zhang Daochang helped us retrieve it.

Once back at the company, don’t discuss anything further, especially about the Underworld.

As long as you do that, the previous matters are wiped clean."

"Okay!"

"We promise! Don’t worry, boss!"

"Yes! Zhang Daochang, boss, we know it’s embarrassing and know the company will penalize us if we talk, so we won’t!"

They assumed the boss and the others wanted to keep things hidden, so they readily promised.

Besides, it’s no loss to them.

As for any leverage?

Just seeing Zhang Daochang’s almost inhuman strength was reason enough to drop it.

In reality, the boss wasn’t silencing them through force but following Zhang Feng’s instructions.

Otherwise, wave after wave of unrelated personnel would undoubtedly bring machines that would destroy the Underworld’s structure accidentally.

In time, what would be left wouldn’t be fate but ruins in a landslide.

Similarly, though the boss wasn’t aware, he knew too many people would draw attention, even attracting official notice.

Hence, silence was best.

Zhang Feng and the boss reached a consensus.

Even without coercion,

this negotiation ended well, with everyone satisfied and no discomfort.

Zhang Feng paid special attention to the boss’s mood, as he was now Zhang Feng’s designated Yama Text translator.

The person helped willingly, without making enemies, and Zhang Feng couldn’t very well force them into work.

...

At midnight,

Zhang Feng and a dozen others emerged from the deep forest, returning to ’his’ home.

It was a small courtyard, where Zhang Feng led a solitary life in this world.

That night,

Zhang Feng valued ’the boss, Zhou, and He.’

They had extensive relic exploration experience and could perhaps assist him.

Apart from them,

the boss held a high position within the agency, being one of the core members.

Therefore, he could leverage resources to investigate the ’sea surface’ imagery on the bamboo book.

First, follow this clue.

Anyway, dispatch people widely to gather info.

Then heavily invest in contacting tomb raiders, see if they have information.

After all, everything was related to relics.
