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

Chapter 276 High-Speed ​​Pursuit

“If this family really has a problem, it will be very inconvenient for the three of us to take action now that we have already shown our faces.”

Wu Xiaoxie quickly offered an explanation and dialed Zhang Wuxun's number.

Unlike the previous busy signals, this time a mechanical female voice came directly from the receiver, "Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."

Wu Xiaoxie was dumbfounded. "Holy crap, where did Muyu go? Why did he just turn off his phone this time?"

"Hiss, I hope he's not in any danger."

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Wu Xiaoxie became anxious. He ran to the bedside, rummaged through the fat man's pocket for his phone, and dialed the number. The voice prompt also indicated that the phone was switched off.

"Damn it!" Wu Xiaoxie cursed under his breath, then typed out a series of messages and sent them over.

"That brat Muyu, don't let me catch him..."

The young man suddenly reached out and pressed his shoulder, saying, "Someone's coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden staircase creaked and groaned.

Soon, the sound stopped at the door, and Ah Gui's slightly hoarse voice came in, "Gentlemen, are you asleep? The hangover soup is ready."

Wu Xiaoxie glanced at the fat man, walked over and opened the door with a smile on his face, "I'm going to sleep now, thank you for your trouble, Uncle Gui."

Watching A-Gui leave, Wu Xiaoxie, carrying the plate, closed the door with her foot, turned around and placed the plate on the table.

"Hey bro, why don't you share a room with Fatty tonight? He's drunk and sleeping like a log. I'm worried he might not wake up in time if something happens during the night," Wu Xiaoxie said with some concern.

The wooden bed in the room is big enough to comfortably sleep four adults.

The waiter nodded, picked up a bowl from the plate, smelled it, and said, "No problem, you can drink it."

"Okay." Wu Xiaoxie naturally trusted the young man's judgment.

After feeding the fat man some hangover soup, Wu Xiaoxie went next door.

I slept soundly through the night, without a single dream; the wind and waves were calm.

They didn't wake up until almost noon the next day. After eating, Wu Xiaoxie urged Agui to take them to that place.

Ah Gui was called away by someone from the same village. Before leaving, he asked his daughter, Yun Cai, to lead the way for them.

Yun Cai was curious as to why they were going there. "That place is very remote. The children here don't go there to play. I heard that someone died there before, and you can hear crying at night. What are you guys going there for?"

The fat guy, blinded by lust, sidled up to Yun Cai and said with a grin, "We love going to places with a bit of a supernatural vibe to gather inspiration. Yun Cai, you don't know, this kind of thing is all the rage online now. If we find a place we like after we've looked around, we'll bring a group of people here next time. Fatty's company specializes in this kind of thing."

Upon hearing this, Yun Cai's eyes widened like a cat's, her long eyelashes fluttering, almost stealing the fat man's soul.

"Really?" Yun Cai became even more curious. "Could you tell me more about it, Fatty?"

The fat man was very skilled at this, having experienced countless strange and unusual things. He could easily use one or two of them to fool a little girl.

Walking ahead with a smug grin, making up stories and enjoying the admiring gaze of the clouds, the fat man felt completely elated.

Wu Xiaoxie, watching from behind, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye. He cursed the fat guy inwardly for forgetting his friends for the sake of a pretty girl, while Little Brother was still the most reliable.

After walking along the bluestone path and then along the overgrown dirt road for more than ten minutes, a very old stilted wooden building came into view.

"Gentlemen, you can just look around here, please don't go inside," Yun Cai reminded them.

"I know, I know, we're just looking around." The fat man nodded repeatedly, thought for a moment, then pulled out several bills from his wallet and stuffed them into Yun Cai's hand. "Here, take these and go buy some good food."

Yun Cai took the money and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll go buy you some ice bamboo cakes. Aunt Liu's family is the best at making them." After saying that, she hummed a tune and walked briskly away along the road.

When the fat man turned around, he saw Wu Xiaoxie and the other man staring at him with unfriendly eyes, and he felt slightly guilty.

"Well, let's get started."

Wu Xiaoxie rolled his eyes in annoyance, "I almost thought our Fatty was going to skip and hop away with that little girl too."

The fat man retorted righteously, "Nonsense, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Wu Xiaoxie scoffed, thinking to himself that he wondered who it was that had been staring at the girl like glue since yesterday, almost unable to get off.

Once the clouds disappeared from sight and there was no one around, the three of them climbed up the hillside one by one.

The wooden building was built on the hillside, with the mountain right behind it. All the windows were broken, and a rusty padlock hung on the door.

I tried pushing it twice, but it wouldn't budge even a little bit. Clearly, due to prolonged exposure to wind and rain, the wood had become misaligned and stuck.

"Brother, do you remember this wooden building?" Wu Xiaoxie asked.

The young man stroked the red-painted, mottled doorpost, then shook his head upon hearing this.

The fat man had already broken off a piece of door panel from the side of the door, stuffed it in front of the window frame, and pushed and pressed it to open the window a crack.

"Come over here quickly, you can get in from here." The fat man called to the two of them and then squeezed in first.

Wu Xiaoxie cursed, "You're so skilled, have you done this before?"

"Stop talking nonsense." The fat man reached out and pulled him. "This fat man is called multi-talented, you little good-for-nothing."

Wu Xiaoxie was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "Who the hell are you calling a good-for-nothing?"

Just as he had half his body inside and was about to lift his leg, he suddenly heard a loud bang, which shook the entire wooden building three times.

Dust and sawdust fell down in a flurry.

The three of them were stunned. Before they could react, there was another loud bang, as if something had been smashed open.

Immediately afterwards, a large, dark gray thing fell from the wooden building, rolled once on the ground in front of the building, stood up, and was holding something in its arms.

The moment the dusty thing stood up, it made eye contact with Wu Xiaoxie and his two companions, clearly paused for a moment, and then turned and ran.

Wu Xiaoxie's heart tightened. Just as he was about to shout for them to give chase, he saw a white figure float down from the building. The moment it landed, it sped off like a rocket towards the gray figure, its speed leaving no afterimage.

In just one glance, Wu Xiaoxie recognized the white figure from behind as Zhang Wuxun, who had been elusive for some time.

"Damn it, chase after them!"

The fat man let out a loud yell.

Unfortunately, Wu Xiaoxie was blocking the window they were supposed to enter and exit, so the fat man got impatient and pushed him down.

Meanwhile, the young man had already caught up with the other two.

Wu Xiaoxie got up from the ground, ignoring the pain in his knees, and immediately followed after them with Fatty.

The three people in front ran very fast, and in the blink of an eye they crossed the crisscrossing bluestone paths and disappeared into the woods.
