Chapter 520 Tomb Raiding is Like Tourism

"Why?" Wu Xie blinked his innocent big eyes and asked Fatty Wang curiously.

"Don't ask anymore, it's for your own good—" Fatty Wang said, patting Wu Xie on the shoulder.

Seeing that Wu Xie still wanted to ask more questions, A Ning interrupted him directly, saying, "Now that you're awake, let's have a meeting—"

As he spoke, he walked into the cabin, and Fatty Wang followed him in with his arm around Wu Xie.

Soon, Zhang the Bald, along with several other experts brought by Aning, Wang the Fat, and Wu Xie, gathered together. In front of them was a map that had been marked with many circles and lines.

"...Currently, based on the information left by Wu Sansheng, we can only estimate a general location. If we can find the tomb's tunnel, that would be best. If not, the actual location and determination of the shape of the underground palace will still depend on you. We only have some old documents on hand, which cannot replace the experience of tomb raiders. Your third uncle is very shrewd; he didn't leave us any of these documents."

After some discussion, A Ning looked at Wu Xie calmly and said...

"Huh?" Upon hearing A Ning's words, Wu Xie immediately let out a guilty "ah." Although his grandfather, Wu Laogou, had taught him a lot about gold location when he was a child, he had long forgotten much of it.

He had no problem digging on land, but he had no confidence at all digging underwater. After all, his family were land surveyors, not sea surveyors.

"Huh? Is there a problem?" A-Ning frowned slightly and looked intently at Wu Xie as she asked.

Wu Xie met A Ning's gaze, as well as the gazes of the others, took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, "Let's give it a try. After all, this is my first time practicing sea fighting."

He thought to himself that things would work themselves out, and if things really didn't work out, he would just make up some stories about how strange the underground palace was.

Fatty Wang looked at Wu Xie, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and laughed, "I believe in you, there won't be any problem."

Wu Xie looked at Fatty Wang, his lips twitching slightly, and said with a wry smile, "I thank you for trusting me so much..."

"yawn--"

Just then, Gao Dongxu, wearing a white T-shirt, floral shorts, and slippers, walked into the cabin yawning. He stretched his limbs and, seeing everyone looking at him, couldn't help but laugh, "Everyone's here. I had such a hard sleep, the bed was so hard..."

Hearing Gao Dongxu's complaint, everyone's lips twitched a few times. A blush flashed across A Ning's pretty face, and after giving him a charmingly disdainful look, she said calmly, "At this ship's speed, we should reach our destination around four or five o'clock this afternoon. Then we'll have Wu Xie divide the gold and pinpoint the location—"

Gao Dongxu looked at Wu Xie, who had a wry smile on his face, and said with a smile, "Be confident. Among our group, your family has the most profound academic tradition. Before you arrive, think carefully about the relevant knowledge. Don't mess things up and embarrass your Wu family."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie's wry smile deepened, and he said, "Young Master Gao, please don't put pressure on me. I'm really afraid of making a fool of myself."

"Haha... Look how nervous you are. Don't worry, we'll definitely find it." Gao Dongxu said with a smile, "Alright, it's a rare trip to Xisha, we need to have a good meal and recharge our energy before going back into the sea."

"Haha, Young Master Gao is so thoughtful. I'll go find the boat captain and ask him to get us some special seafood so we can have a good meal—"

Upon hearing about food, Fatty Wang immediately clapped his hands and cheered, then got up to find the boatman.

Soon, the boat captain, dragged along by the fat man, came over carrying a large mackerel. He handed the fish to a waiter and said, "Get a fish head stew. And go get that jar of coconuts I've been saving..."

After instructing his men on their tasks, the captain hurriedly stepped forward, looking at Gao Dongxu with a fawning smile, and said, "Mr. Gao, please tell me what you'd like to eat. There are still plenty of grouper in the fish box..."

"Yes, thank you for your trouble—" Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all..." the boat captain hurriedly said with a smile.

When A Ning, Jiang Zisuan, Wu Xie, and the others saw the boat captain praising Gao Dongxu so much, they couldn't help but shake their heads and chuckle.

Sure enough, wherever Gao Shao goes, people surround him and flatter him.

When the fish hot pot was served, the aroma it emitted immediately whetted everyone's appetite.

Fatty Wang's eyes widened with craving. Before the pot was even properly set, he grabbed a piece of fish skin with his chopsticks and ate it, burning his eyes with the scalding heat.

This pot of food was so potent that everyone, whether hungry or not, gathered around the pot. Zhang Tu even put his face close to the pot, smelling the aroma and exclaiming, "Xisha is so good! We could never get such a delicious fish back home."

The fat man pulled him away, laughing and cursing, "Flattery is fine, but don't you dare spit your saliva in there, it's disgusting."

At this moment, the boat captain took the wine jar handed to him by the sailor, broke the seal, poured a large bowl for Gao Dongxu, and said with a smile, "Mr. Gao, please try this. This is a famous coconut wine from the Li and Miao villages. We brought it for the Dragon King to drink..."

"Good heavens, you're giving the wine meant for the Dragon King to Young Master Gao? Aren't you afraid the Dragon King will be angry?" Fatty Wang teased, watching the boat captain fawn over Gao Dongxu.

Upon hearing this, the boat captain was shocked and hurriedly said, "You wouldn't dare to talk nonsense. Besides, there's absolutely no problem with me giving Mr. Gao this wine. Mr. Gao is a master who can even cut off the head of a sea monster."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized why the boat captain and the others were so obsequious to Gao Dongxu. It turned out they were shocked by Gao Dongxu's act of slaying the sea monkey and collecting its head.

Indeed, anyone who meets a ruthless person like Gao Dongxu would have to admit defeat.

"The wine is good—" Gao Dongxu took a big gulp of coconut wine from his bowl, his eyes lighting up as he commented.

"Pour me a bowl to try too—" Fatty Wang immediately shouted. "You don't deserve it—" The boatman glanced at Fatty Wang and said with a sneer.

The fat man was furious: "Damn it, you're such a snob!"

When everyone saw Fatty Wang get angry and embarrassed, they burst into laughter. Gao Dongxu patted the boat captain on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, let everyone have a taste. Fusheng, get a bottle of Feitian for the boat captain, so that the Dragon King can also have a change of pace."

Hearing Gao Dongxu's words, everyone burst into laughter again, and A Ning, who was sitting to the side, couldn't help but smile as she looked at Gao Dongxu.

They ate fish hotpot, drank coconut wine, and feasted, devouring everything in one go.

After eating and drinking their fill, the group found a place to lie down, smoke, and chat. The coconut wine had a strong aftereffect, and with the sea breeze blowing, they felt a bit tipsy. Wu Xie and Fatty Wang fell asleep one after the other, and A Ning also snuggled in Gao Dongxu's arms and fell asleep, leaving Jiang Zixia completely silent.

Around 4:30 p.m., the fishing boat arrived at the destination area. Everyone changed into diving suits, and based on Wu Xie's assessment of the area, A Ning sent out a frogman to confirm it.

Gao Dongxu didn't let Erpang, Fugui, and Fusheng go into the sea with him. Instead, he told the three of them to stay on the ship and keep an eye on it. He didn't want to come out of the underwater tomb and not be able to find the ship.

About half an hour later, several divers surfaced from the sea. One of them took off his breathing apparatus and said, "We found it. This must be the place. We've also found the tomb robber's tunnel."

Upon hearing this, Ah Ning's face lit up with surprise and she hurriedly asked, "Did you go inside to take a look?"

The man shook his head and said, "Yes, but the tunnel was very long. I sneaked in for a while, but I didn't see the bottom, so I didn't dare to go in any further and came out."

Ah Ning nodded, asked the child a few more questions, and then turned to Gao Dongxu and said, "Alright, let's get ready. They'll call us after they've cleared the entrance. There are signs of a collapse in the entrance, and they'll use scaffolding to stabilize it."

Besides Gao Dongxu, A Ning, Jiang Zixia, Wu Xie, and Wang Pangzi, Zhang Tuzi, who volunteered, also went down into the tomb. Gao Dongxu, knowing that he was Zhang Qiling, did not refuse. After checking their equipment and taking everything they needed, they fell into the sea one after another.

The tunnel was not far from the ship. Gao Dongxu dived to the tunnel and saw that a large crater had been blasted into the seabed, and the tunnel was at the bottom of the crater.

Wu Xie took one look and thought to himself, "This is indeed his third uncle's method."

The group searched around the tunnel but found no signs of collapse.

At this moment, Wu Xie gestured to the others, took out a writing board and an oil-based pen, and began to write.

The inscription reads: "Traces of the underground palace planned by Wu Sansheng are still visible."

Wu Xie and Zhang Tuzi both stepped forward and began to carefully note the location of the tomb-raiding tunnel. It should be dug into the side chamber, and the bricks in that area should be relatively thin.

Fatty Wang waved to Gao Dongxu and the others, indicating whether they wanted to go in now. A Ning glanced at her diving watch and nodded.

Wang Pangzi was the first to sneak in, followed by Gao Dongxu, A Ning, Wu Xie, Jiang Zixia, and Zhang Tuzi, who all turned on their searchlights and slid in five or six meters at a time.

The tunnel was very irregular, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow. As Gao Dongxu swam around, he looked at the tunnel walls and found them increasingly strange. No matter how he looked at it, it was not dug by a human. The marks on it were messy and uneven, like a hole dug by an animal.

After struggling to swim for more than 20 meters, the light coming in from the cave entrance could no longer reach them. At this moment, the direction of the tomb raider's tunnel suddenly changed, and it actually dug vertically downwards.

Fatty made a careful gesture to Gao Dongxu, A Ning, and Wu Xie, then swam down first, watching his light go down and down until it became a small dot.

At this point, he waved his searchlight below to indicate that it was safe. Immediately, one after another, they dived down, and by then their dive watches indicated a depth of over ten meters.

A large space had been excavated below, and Gao Dongxu saw the tomb wall of the ancient tomb. There was a large hole in it, and the hole was broken very irregularly. It was not like the tomb was carefully removed piece by piece in a typical tomb raiding. Some bricks were even cracked.

At this moment, Fatty Wang blew a few bubbles, pointed to the broken bricks, and made a monkey-like gesture. Gao Dongxu immediately understood that he meant: this hole was probably dug by a sea monkey, not a tomb raider's hole.

Gao Dongxu nodded in agreement, pointed to the underwater speargun on his back, took it off, and swam into the cave.

The group followed closely behind, and swam for a long time until Fatty Wang in front stopped. When they went over to take a look, they found that the tomb passage had come to an end, and a stone slab was blocking their way.

The stone slab was bare, without any writing or carvings. Wu Xie touched it for a long time but couldn't find any mechanism. He scratched his head and asked A Ning in writing, "How could this be a dead end?"

Wu Xie replied, "There should be some cleverly placed stone mechanisms nearby. Everyone, look around and see if there are any loose tomb walls."

Everyone nodded and began tapping here and there, carefully checking every spot, but they made no progress. The stone slab remained there, unmoved.

Suddenly, Fatty Wang blew bubbles again, drawing everyone's attention. He then pulled out a writing board with a strange expression and wrote for everyone to see, "Do sea monkeys have hair?"

Apart from Gao Dongxu, everyone was stunned. Fatty Wang immediately pointed to a crack in the wall, and a strand of black hair was seen floating out from the gap between the stone slab and the tomb passage.

It has to be said that whether it's Ghost Blows Out the Light or The Grave Robber's Chronicle, Fatty Wang is always a trap. His main characteristic is his audacity. He reached out to pull the hair, but unexpectedly, the hair suddenly retracted and disappeared into the gap.

Fatty Wang's expression suddenly changed, he blew bubbles, and wrote on his writing board: "There's a ghost."
