Chapter 400: Chapter 400 Flying above the Thousand-faced Grass_1
Lauren Barnett held back a laugh and said, “You really guessed right, in my eyes, you are just that unreliable.”
“Hey, if you don’t believe , ask Asher Green, he was there too.”
Julia Hall pointed to the guy beside her and said, “You don’t believe , but you should at least believe what Asher Green says, right?”
Lauren Barnett turned her head and asked, “Asher Green, tell , are there really such young grandmasters in this world?”
Asher Green, with long arms and legs, was tall and not very bulky, but when he tensed his arms, the smoothly contoured muscles beca visible.
The muscles of a normal martial artist are quite different from those of a bodybuilding champion.
They are not the kind of bulky, blocky muscles that seem strong but are not good for generating power, which is just dead weight.
They might look impressive and seem powerful enough, but the speed of their force generation just can’t keep up.
One could tell at a glance that Asher Green was a trained martial artist, and his skills were not low; Greg Jensen couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him.
Asher Green seed to notice Greg Jensen’s attention, turned his head to give him a gentle smile, and then turned back saying:
“Julia Hall wasn’t bragging this ti, that grandmaster is indeed very young and about our age.”
His words seed to be for Lauren Barnett, but his gaze occasionally strayed toward another girl.
This other girl was entirely different from Lauren Barnett; although similar in height, her figure was more delicate, belonging to a finer type.
“See, what did I tell you?”
Julia Hall looked at Lauren Barnett with a smug face and said, “Now you have to believe it, right?”
“Believe, believe, believe!”
Lauren Barnett rolled her eyes at him and chuckled, “Okay, I’ll give you this one; you didn’t brag, are you happy now?”
“What do you an, okay? I was just…”
Julia Hall suddenly realized sothing, turned his head towards Asher Green, and said without words, “I an, Asher Green, what you just said wasn’t really fair.
What do you an I wasn’t bragging this ti? Have I ever bragged before?
You know, Samantha Adams is still here. You’re undermining in front of your goddess; be careful, or she might get a bad impression of you.”
Lauren Barnett imdiately didn’t dare to continue, and snorted coldly, “Hey, just talk, don’t tease Samantha Adams like that, or I’ll get mad at you.”
Asher Green quickly said, “Miss Adams, I’m sorry, Julia Hall really doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut; please don’t mind him.”
Samantha Adams was gentle as water, smiling with a twinkle in her eye as she teased, “Asher Green is being too polite. We are counting on you to protect us on this adventure.
If you’re so polite, I’d feel bad bothering you if sothing happens, wouldn’t I?”
Asher Green laughed heartily and said, “Haha, we’ll deal with issues as they co. Whatever you need, Miss Adams, just say the word.”
At that mont, Julia Hall suddenly asked with curiosity, “Miss Adams, as a young lady, why did you choose to study archaeology?”
Samantha Adams seed lost in thought for a mont before smiling and saying, “I grew up with my grandfather, so I was greatly influenced by them and beca very interested in history.
On the other hand, I heard that our Hols family ancestor was a famous treasure seeker known as the ‘Grandmaster of the Tomb Raiders.’
For so reason, he disappeared at the height of his fa.
The Hols family has been looking for him for generations, but still, not a single clue has been found. As a mber of the Hols family, it’s natural that I take up this responsibility.”
“The Hols family ancestor? You an…”
Asher Green fell into thought, and after a while, his eyes brightened, and he lifted his head and said, “You an Andrew Hols, the one known as ‘Andrew the Phantom of the Grasslands’?”
Samantha Adams said in surprise, “Asher Green, you’ve heard of my family’s ancestor?”
Asher Green nodded with a smile and said, “I am quite curious about the mysteries of tomb raiding, so I’ve researched a lot of materials and read many biographies and stories about related figures.”
“I didn’t expect Mr. Green to also be a man of vast knowledge,” Samantha Adams couldn’t help but comnd.
Hearing Samantha Adams praise him, Asher Green couldn’t hide his pride and humbly said, “Miss Adams is giving too much credit. I simply enjoy reading a variety of books.”
“Co on you two, are we doing mutual admiration now?”
Julia Hall interrupted their flattery rcilessly and then asked curiously, “Is Andrew Hols very famous?”
Lauren Barnett also looked at Asher Green with a face full of curiosity.
Asher Green deliberately put on an admiring look and said, “Grandmaster Hols originally ca from a background of tomb raiders, but he also possessed the strength of a Grandmaster in martial arts.
Especially his Qinggong and Disguise Technique are the most acclaid.”
“Disguise?”
Lauren Barnett and Julia Hall were simultaneously startled, their curiosity piqued by Asher Green’s words.
Asher Green nodded and said, “Yes, disguise. Grandmaster Hols’s Disguise Technique is top-notch in the world. He could change his appearance to whoever he wanted.
After disguising himself, not even those close to him could recognize him. Can you imagine how incredible his Disguise Technique is?
Grandmaster Hols was born in an era of turmoil, a ti when bandits were rampant and human life was as cheap as grass.
What people love to talk about the most is that one year, he disguised himself and infiltrated a bandit gang, and in cooperation with the governnt troops, he captured them all.
He stayed inside the bandit gang for a full four months, and not a single bandit realized it.”
“My goodness, could that really be called a Disguise Technique? It sounds more like he got a brand new face,”
Lauren Barnett never missed a chance to kick soone while they were down, and imdiately laughed, “Haha, however he did it, it’s not like you could do it.”
“You’ve got a point there,”
Julia Hall changed from her usual deanor and didn’t retort.
Not knowing if she thought of sothing, she suddenly fell into deep thought.
Seeing her expression, Lauren Barnett didn’t pursue further and turned to look at Asher Green, smiling, “Samantha was right, Mr. Green really has an extensive knowledge.”
“I’ve only read a few books, I don’t deserve your praise.”
Asher Green looked at Samantha Adams and said, “Miss Adams, was my introduction to Grandmaster Hols okay?”
Samantha Adams smiled and said, “Yes, it was good. It matches the records in the family archives; Mr. Green, you didn’t make a single mistake.”
“Haha, I’m glad I got it right.”
Asher Green felt even more pleased with himself upon receiving Samantha Adams’s praise.
Their chatting was not loud, but Greg Jensen was listening clearly, especially when he heard them speak of Andrew Hols, his heart stirred.
Andrew Hols’s Disguise Technique and Qinggong were unmatched in the world; could he be the owner of the mysterious “Thousand Illusion Spirit Mask”?
If that were true, he had indeed co to the right place.
Greg Jensen secretly wondered if the tomb pillaged by that middle-aged man could be Andrew Hols’s?
Or was it that Andrew Hols had gone tomb raiding and died inside?
Even if that wasn’t the case, it was surely closely related to Andrew Hols.
As a legendary figure from a century ago, and one that could be connected to sothing as extraordinary as the “Thousand Illusion Spirit Mask,” there must be wonderful treasures inside this tomb.
This trip was certainly not in vain!
