Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 26: Snake Aunt

This time, there were too many unknown factors in the exploration of the ruins. Zhu Bo was well-prepared, with Feng Si by his side, as well as Liu Xiong and Liu Meng taking another route to the destination.

The Liu brothers and Zhu Bo had collaborated multiple times and were trustworthy and capable. Whether it was digging graves underground or fighting above ground, they were skilled in both.

Next were the professional bodyguards, Luo Ban and Lu Bei, who specialized in fighting during negotiations.

A total of six people, no more.

As Zhu Bo put it, quality is more important than quantity. Having more people would be like putting ointment on a dead person, pointless.

At noon, the carriage stopped, and the four of them took out food from the Universe Bag to quickly fill their stomachs. Zhu Bo took the opportunity to talk about the situation of the other team, mainly informing Luo Ban and Lu Bei to be vigilant and not be ambushed by the other side.

Lu Bei nodded and looked at Luo Ban, who remained silent. After leveling up, Lu Bei wanted to find a skilled opponent to spar with and get a better understanding of his own abilities.

Winning or losing didn't matter to him; he just wanted to find someone he could trust to have his back, so that he wouldn't be clueless about who to rely on when a crisis came.

Luo Ban didn't say a word. He had followed Zhu Ting for many years. On the surface, he was a personal bodyguard, but his true expertise was in assassination and covert operations. He had repeatedly assisted Zhu Ting with his professional knowledge and was deeply trusted.

In his line of work, losing one's composure was the biggest taboo. So no matter how intense Lu Bei's gaze was, Luo Ban treated it as if it were just a gentle breeze.

After setting off again, Zhu Bo took out bottles and jars and gave Lu Bei a bottle of detoxification pills and three antidote beads. He quickly imparted his experience, explaining the dangers they might encounter underground.

This lecture lasted for two days, teaching and clarifying doubts, directly giving Lu Bei a new secondary profession.

Tomb Raider Lv4 (10/10000)

This was outrageous!

Very outrageous!

Lu Bei expressed his dissatisfaction with the title of Tomb Raider. He didn't ask to be an archaeologist, but being a Sergeant Major of Tomb Robbers would be fine.

Besides, he had only listened to two days of theoretical knowledge and hadn't even set foot underground yet!

...

Three days later, Eastern Sun County, Grand Tomb District.

At the city gate, several ruffians approached Zhu Bo's group, demanding pocket money. They were quickly knocked down with three punches and two kicks.

Before running away, they stubbornly insisted that this wasn't over, and then...

There was no "and then." These people were all talk and no action, very sincere in their physicality. They never appeared again.

The small incident ended, and Zhu Bo successfully met up with the Liu brothers. The Liu brothers had arrived in the Grand Tomb District two days ago and had been secretly observing and gathering information. Yesterday, they discovered the arrival of the cooperating team, a total of seven people. After resting for a while, they left and spent the night outside the county.

"Big brother, except for that cold woman, everyone else is unfamiliar. We didn't dare to arouse suspicion, so we couldn't gather much information," the Liu brothers apologized.

"It was expected. The old faces have all failed."

Zhu Bo shook his head and then said, "Let me ask you, were you discovered by the other side?"

"No."

"Big brother, you underestimate us. We, the two brothers, have some skills."

"In that case, it's troublesome..."

Zhu Bo shook his head. They were provoked when entering the city, clearly a probe from the other side. The Liu brothers were clueless, indicating that their strength was significantly inferior to the other side.

Instead of gathering information, they ended up selling their own information, which could be considered a bad start.

Zhu Bo didn't dare to delay and briefly introduced Lu Bei and the Liu brothers. The group abandoned the carriage and headed straight out of the county, with Feng Si leading the way. Along the way, they followed the faint traces and caught up with their cooperating partners, who had taken a step ahead by the riverside, two miles away from the official road.

Six men and one woman, the leading woman is stunningly beautiful. Her tight green outfit outlines her curves, with a perfect proportion of a slim waist and long legs, which makes Lu Bei shake his head incessantly.

In this deep mountain forest, with these long legs, and about ten big men, it's a pity there are no three-wheeled vehicles.

She Xuan.

As the initiator of the team, she has had several collaborations with Zhu Bo, so they can be considered acquaintances.

Zhu Bo repeatedly mentioned that Lu Bei and Luo Ban should be wary of the most treacherous woman's heart. She Xuan may seem beautiful, but she is actually a beautiful snake that devours people without leaving a trace.

Literally speaking, She Xuan has Monster Race bloodline and is a Monster Cultivator.

In addition, despite her youthful appearance, her actual age is at least 50+. Whether she is unfathomable or not, Zhu Bo didn't dare to find out, but he has some knowledge of how many unlucky souls have died under her snake kiss.

In short, in the wilderness, Zhu Bo doesn't dare to be alone with She Xuan without two bodyguards by his side.

"Sister She, we agreed to set off together, why are you in such a hurry?" Zhu Bo raised his hand and looked at She Xuan's seven teammates, asking her to introduce them.

"Squad leader Zhu, haven't you heard the news?" She Xuan asked in return, and then said, "The Grand Tomb District has been restless recently. The people from the Iron Sword League have clashed with the Extreme Monarch Sect, which has disrupted my business. Since I can't afford to provoke them, I can only stay far away."

"I really didn't know about that," Zhu Bo shook his head and temporarily noted this matter.

On the side, Lu Bei narrowed his eyes. He knew about the Iron Sword League, a powerful alliance of sword cultivators that was considered one of the best in the Wu Zhou region.

In version 1.0, there was a large-scale conflict between the Extreme Monarch Sect and the Iron Sword League, which ended with the destruction of the Iron Sword League's headquarters. It was one of the main storylines in the Wu Zhou region.

A centipede may be dead, but until version 3.0, there were still remnants of the Iron Sword League active. They were players belonging to the Wu Zhou faction who loved hunting monsters.

On the other side, the two team leaders introduced their own members. In the coming period of time, everyone would cooperate sincerely, aiming to not only increase their favorability but also establish a basic friendship.

When it was Lu Bei's turn.

"Auntie Snake, nice to meet you. My name is Ding Lei, but since you are older, you can call me Xiaoding."

"You have such a sweet mouth, like you've been stung by a bee. Just call me Sister She."

"Okay, Auntie Snake."

"..."

She Xuan snorted coldly and frowned as she looked at the silent Luo Ban. Among the group, Luo Ban was the most troublesome for her.

Lu Bei used to be one as well. After a brief exchange, he was successfully blacklisted.

"Leader Zhu has many experts by his side. It seems you are well-prepared," She Xuan commented.

"It's a matter of life and death. How can we afford to be careless?"

"That's good."

The two leaders conversed without any hidden intentions, and soon their professional demeanor allowed them to let go of their guard against each other and gather together to discuss the details of the ruins.

She Xuan took out a map and gave one to Zhu Bo, openly sharing all the known information.

Except for the leaders, the rest of the members kept their distance from each other, without any intention of making friends.

After half an hour, She Xuan and Zhu Bo put away the map. She Xuan led the way, with Zhu Bo following behind, each leading their own small team into the deep mountain forest.

"The ruins are about 150 miles from here. The path ahead is full of mountains and forests, with a large river winding along the way..." Zhu Bo shared the information he had obtained, reminding everyone to take 'Antidote Beads' in advance to guard against poisonous insects in the mountains.

Lu Bei looked around and after walking through the mountains for a while, he was surrounded by a vast primitive forest. Strange-looking evil flowers and grass grew, and the distant view was obscured by clouds and mist, giving rise to a sense of anticipation for a dungeon.

Except for being too real, which made him want to give up, everything else was fine.
