189: Uncle! Don't you think my sword is cool?
It was no wonder the Rescue Team Captain was so surprised.
To be honest... after they had climbed up the sheer cliff face.
They had even prepared the contents of their wills.
Yet... a handsome face suddenly popped out!
Su Yun pouted.
"Uncle, asking that is really offensive."
"Look, do ghosts have shadows?"
He stood up completely, revealing his shadow beneath the sun.
Phew... The three men let out a huge sigh of relief!
Following that, the look in their eyes when they gazed at Su Yun became shocked once more!
If he wasn't a ghost, appearing here... what difference was he from a monster!?
Su Yun couldn't be bothered to pay attention to how the three men were looking at him.
One man per hand... He tossed the three men onto the large, exposed rock.
"I say, three uncles, is there something you're troubled about?"
"Why climb up here when you were perfectly fine?"
To be honest... the three Rescue Team members were used to saving others, but today was the first time they had been saved by someone else.
Moreover... the way this kid in front of them casually jumped around on the rocks... was he a monkey!?
The Rescue Team Captain gave a bitter smile: "We are the Rescue Team, and we came up here to save people."
"We were fine coming up, but only realized once we got here that we couldn't get back down..."
Saving people?
Su Yun immediately thought of Deng Zhiyong and his group.
"Um... Uncle, did you save four men earlier?"
"You..."
The three Rescue Team members instantly realized: "You are the man who recklessly climbed toward the mountaintop!?"
Su Yun: ???
Saying he climbed toward the mountaintop was fine, but saying he was reckless was a bit much.
Su Yun treasured his life more than anyone.
It was just that sometimes, things didn't go as planned.
Su Yun scratched his head: "Let's put aside the issue of rescue for now..."
"You guys rest here for a bit."
"I'm going to find a place with a signal; I made some discoveries inside the cave..."
After speaking, he single-handedly climbed the rock face in a few moves, continuing to leap upward.
The three Rescue Team members exchanged glances.
The way they looked at Su Yun was as if they had seen a ghost... Was this kid some kind of rock climbing champion?
Without any safety measures... traversing the sheer cliff face as if walking on flat ground!?
He continued to climb up for a distance... until his camera and phone finally received a signal.
— — [Holy crap! We're finally back online!]
— — [Brother Su, do you know how I spent those short ten-plus minutes?]
— — [Why are you still hanging on the sheer cliff face?]
— — [Where is the cave? What exactly is inside the cave?]
— — [Huh? Why are there three rescue personnel down there?]
— — [Brother Su! Say something already!]
The hundreds of millions of fans in the livestream room were excited.
As for Su Yun himself, he immediately dialed Officer Hong's phone number.
Ring ring ring!
At this moment... Deng Zhiyong and his group had just returned to the Great Wall.
Officer Hong saw Su Yun's caller ID.
He paused, then answered: "Hello? Brother Su Yun? How is it going? Are you alright?"
"I forgot to tell you, three rescue personnel went to save you!"
Su Yun grinned: "Ah... I saw them. I saved them and brought them up."
Officer Hong: ???
What kind of bizarre reverse operation was that!?
Su Yun didn't have time to explain, and continued: "Officer Hong, can you help me contact the Archaeology Experts now?"
"I need them to help me remotely confirm some things!"
Unlike last time.
This time's discovery was so unusual that the system hadn't provided any information.
That Sword Mound, that deep pit of skeletons... it was still a mystery!
Upon hearing this... Officer Hong, whose mind hadn't fully processed the previous shock, felt like he had been struck hard.
Archaeology Experts!?
Why did he need to find Archaeology Experts again?
Last time at the Steel Regiment Military District, that group of Archaeology Experts was still arguing fiercely over the imperial seal of china!
For example, the directors of several museums and the famous Archaeology Experts... two factions nearly fought over the imperial seal of china!
Officer Hong smiled and asked: "Brother Su Yun, did you make some kind of discovery?"
"Ah..."
Su Yun stated directly: "There is a cave on the cliff face, and inside the cave... there is a Sword Mound!"
"In addition... there is also a deep pit filled with skeletons..."
Hiss... As soon as he said this.
Officer Hong, who was seriously listening to the phone call on the other end, was horrified!
Sword Mound!? Deep pit of skeletons!?
What the heck are these things!?
— — [Holy cow! No way, seriously?]
— — [What is a Sword Mound? I've never seen a Sword Mound before!]
— — [Is it possible it means 'bastard'? The kind that's an insult!]
— — [Deep pit of skeletons? Could it be another ancient tomb?]
— — [Stop it! Are we going to disturb my cute and charming ancestors again?]
— — [Brother Su... do you have some kind of vendetta against tombs and caves?]
On the Great Wall.
Officer Hong and Deng Zhiyong exchanged glances.
Deng Zhiyong took the phone: "Brother Su Yun, I am Deng Zhiyong."
"I heard everything you said. You mentioned... discovering a Sword Mound and a deep pit of skeletons on the cliff face!?"
"Can you tell us exactly what the situation is?"
Putting aside the Sword Mound for now, just the deep pit of skeletons alone... suggests human casualties!
If it was ancient, that would be one thing... But what if it involves some cold case?
Su Yun considered this and replied: "Director Deng, why don't you send a helicopter over!"
"There is a magnetic field inside the cave, so I can't livestream it to you."
"I'm still hanging on the cliff face right now..."
Deng Zhiyong: ... After hanging up the phone.
Deng Zhiyong and the others looked at each other, taking several deep breaths to calm themselves.
"Old Deng! What do we do now?"
"I understand Brother Su Yun; although he acts carelessly, he never lies!"
"That's right! My Brother never messes around!"
Deng Zhiyong pulled out his phone: "I'll make the arrangements!"
... Jumping down from the cliff face.
Su Yun leaped onto the large, exposed rock.
He smiled at the three rescue personnel: "Just wait, I called outside."
"I believe people will arrive very soon!"
The three men: ... Their heads were still spinning.
Staring at Su Yun's harmless smiling face.
It was hard to imagine how this person managed to jump around on a cliff face while carrying a basket...
The Rescue Team Captain coughed twice to clear his throat and asked: "Young Brother, may I ask... why are you carrying a basket?"
Su Yun glanced at his back: "You mean this?"
"Well, I had nothing better to do, so I picked up some junk while climbing the mountain!"
With a "swoosh"... he pulled out the heavily rusted long sword from inside the basket.
"Ah!"
The three rescue personnel cried out in alarm, shuffling their butts backward vigorously.
They were afraid Su Yun might accidentally stab all three of them with the sword...
Su Yun smiled: "Uncles, don't be afraid."
"Look, this sword is something I picked up on the mountain."
"Guess how much it's worth?"
The three rescue personnel recovered their senses.
Their gazes fell upon the heavily rusted long sword... "It looks quite stylish!"
"The Tetanus Sword? If you want to sell, I'll offer a maximum of one hundred!"
"I'll offer two hundred fifty!"
