On the appointed day, Zhou Heng gathered with the Black Donkey and Sang Qingshan's party of three, and headed toward the still unknown ancient ruins.
Zhou Heng even fitted a saddle on the scoundrel donkey just to irk the Black Donkey, which brayed incessantly in protest, its eyes shooting murderous glares. But greed was this donkey's Achilles heel, and for the sake of potential treasure, it ultimately resigned itself to it.
Zhou Heng, however, didn't go too far and didn't ride the donkey, otherwise the scoundrel would have definitely bitten his behind.
He arrived last, with Sang Qingshan, Yang Zhan, and Xing Yewu already waiting for him, but he wasn't too late since he had timed his arrival perfectly, not a second too soon or too late, being the last one was simply because the other three had come too early.
"Hmph!" Yang Zhan took an immediate disliking to Zhou Heng, his lips twisting into a sinister smile.
