Tomb Raiding: My Family's Last Clan Chief is Little Brother

Chapter 261 Heaven-Sent Amnesia
Awuchile?

What is that? A spell? Or some kind of ancient sacrificial language?

Zhang Wuxun felt strange. He didn't know why, but he felt a strong aversion to the voice. It was as if something was influencing him.

【Host! 】

A soft shout exploded in his mind, much louder this time. In an instant, all the sounds that had been blocked outside the barrier rushed into his mind.

He heard the rushing water, the dripping sound of water droplets hitting the empty kettle, and someone muttering something incessantly in his ear... The hazy, confused atmosphere vanished like a receding tide.

As his consciousness gradually returned, Zhang Wuxun felt the presence of his body. He tentatively moved his fingers, and a gasp came from his ear. The next moment, his hand was immediately grabbed.

"Fatty! Fatty, come quick! Wooden Fish seems to have woken up."

After a series of footsteps, Zhang Wuxun felt someone gently pat his face, and then grab his eyelids and flip them over.

"No, I don't think so," the fat man said. "Tianzhen, are you too nervous and misread it? Why don't you go and rest for a while? I can watch over things here. You haven't slept for two days."

Wu Xiaoxie shook his head, "I'm not sleepy yet."

Undeterred, he grabbed Zhang Wuxun's hand and shook it, muttering, "Strange, could it really be that I saw it wrong?"

After trying, aside from managing to move his fingers slightly by concentrating all his strength, Zhang Wuxun still couldn't speak. He could only silently reply in his mind, "I didn't see wrong, I'm awake."

"Why don't you go take a nap?" The fat man took the small iron basin off the smokeless stove, added some cold water, took the towel off Zhang Wuxun's forehead, soaked it in the warm water, wrung it out, and put it back on his forehead.

Zhang Wuxun didn't hear Wu Xiaoxie's reply again, but felt his hand being stuffed into a warm sleeping bag.

Her consciousness began to blur again. She could only hear the fat man whispering something, and Wu Xiaoxie would occasionally respond. In the end, she could no longer feel anything.

Cut back to the camera.

Wu Xiaoxie and Fatty watched Zhang Wuxun climb into the meteorite cave.

The fat man held the rope tightly. Zhang Wuxun climbed in a bit, and only when he felt the rope was taut did he loosen the remaining rope in his hand.

They let out two climbing ropes in this way. The ropes were so long that the fat man didn't know what was inside, so he tentatively pulled them out.

Suddenly, a large section of the rope was pulled out, and my heart sank. I thought to myself, "Oh no!" The wooden fish had also untied the rope.

At this moment, Hei Xiazi, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up, his carefree smile disappearing. "Pull it out, quick! If you're too late, your wooden fish might get into trouble!"

what?
Wu Xiaoxie and Fatty were startled by his words and didn't dare to delay. They used all their strength to pull the rope out.

The ropes piled up at my feet, and soon I reached the end.

The fat man clutched the rope that had clearly been deliberately cut, his expression one of utter despair.

"Damn it, Fatty was afraid he'd untie the rope, so he tied a tight knot, but this brat just cut it!"

"What do we do now?" Wu Xiaoxie was almost frantic. Not only had Chen Wenjin not come out, but Xiao Ge and Mu Yu had also been dragged into this mess. Seeing the situation, Hei Xiazi sighed and sat down again.

The fat man glared at them, then thought for a moment that since they were hired by Third Master, there was no need for him to get involved in their mess.

Turning around, gritting his teeth, he said to Wu Xiaoxie, "We can't just sit here and wait to die. We still have to go in and take a look. Tianzhen, hurry up, let's move some rocks over. I'll stand on them, and you can climb onto my back. That way, we'll be higher, and maybe we can climb up."

Without further ado, the two waded through the water, carrying stones continuously, and soon built a platform. The fat man stood on it, and Wu Xiaoxie climbed onto him.

In this way, although they were higher, the makeshift stone platform under the fat man's feet was not regular. Before the two of them could make any move, the stones under their feet were shaking, and the fat man could not stand steadily at all.

After struggling more than ten times, Wu Xiaoxie finally managed to climb up a little, but after only a couple of steps, the passageway ahead became so narrow that no matter how much he hunched his shoulders, he couldn't squeeze through.

Helpless, he could only slide down, gazing at the crater that looked like a monster with its mouth wide open, his face full of sorrow.

Seeing that they had been working hard for so long without any progress, Hei Xiazi advised them to stop, saying, "It will come out eventually, just wait."

Already anxious, Wu Xiaoxie's worries turned into anger after hearing his words. She held back her anger and restrained herself from losing it on the spot.

The fat man pulled him to sit down and advised, "Tianzhen, don't worry too much. Since Muyu cut the rope himself, it means that he was at least conscious at the time. There must have been some compelling reason for him to cut it."

Wu Xiaoxie sighed, rubbing his sore knee. He knew that Fatty was right, so he could only suppress his impatience and glance at the time on his watch. Muyu and Xiaoge had been inside for almost five hours.

From initial anxiety to calming down now, there's nothing they can do but wait.

Time passed second by second, and Wu Xiaoxie and the other person gradually became numb.

The night passed, and Hei Xiazi had already greeted them and gone out with his equipment to meet up with his third uncle.

Before leaving, he tried to persuade Wu Xiaoxie, but Wu Xiaoxie insisted on waiting.

The fat man knew his temper well; once he made up his mind, he was more stubborn than a donkey. Moreover, he felt that since the four of them had come in together, they should leave together as well.

Fortunately, Muyu had the foresight to leave plenty of food before entering the meteorite cave, so Fatty decided to stay and wait with Wu Xiaoxie.

Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Hei Xiazi gave up and left alone in the dark, wading through the water.

So, only Wu Xiaoxie, Fatty, and the dead man who attacked the wooden fish and was killed in retaliation remained in the cave.

The fat man was so bored that he and Wu Xiaoxie examined the corpse from head to toe, but they didn't find anything special. They just couldn't understand what kind of riddle Zhang Wuxun and the others had been playing.

A day passed by in vain. In the evening, the fat man took out two packets of noodles from his backpack. Just as he was about to boil water to cook them, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and subconsciously turned his head to look.

Suddenly, they discovered a dark figure standing on the makeshift stone platform they had built at the bottom of the crater. Its eyes were gleaming, and it stared straight at them like a wild beast.

The fat man was startled and instinctively threw the two packets of noodles he was holding at the dark figure.

Suddenly, a crisp, chilling chewing sound reached my ears.
