Tomb Raiding: The Bloodline of Dragons and Snakes, Starting from the Kunlun Divine Palace

Everything else is fine, but take that utterly indifferent face for example. Aside from this guy, probably no one else in the world has such an indifferent expression.

"Who? Who's there?"

At that moment, Wu Xie suddenly heard a noise behind him and hurriedly turned around.

The flashlight shone on the spot where Ah Ning's back appeared.

At this moment, A-Ning was facing an iron gate, as if she were meditating in repentance. No, that's not right, she wasn't meditating in repentance, it seemed she was turning something. Wu Xie took a flashlight and walked over.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Ah Ning was completely unconscious. Moreover, two withered hands were controlling her actions and consciousness.

These withered hands were the same withered hands that had dragged Aning here. A steering wheel-like device was mounted on the rusty iron gate. It was as if turning this steering wheel would open a passage before them. And Aning was currently making that movement.

Wu Xie pondered for a moment. Why was this strange, unknown creature controlling A Ning and trying to make her open the door?

Could there be something hidden behind this door?

Wu Xie suddenly had a very ominous premonition.

She hurriedly called out, "Ah Ning, Ah Ning, wake up, wake up quickly! This door cannot be opened, it absolutely cannot be opened, do you understand?"

But no matter how he called to A-Ning, she wouldn't wake up, as if she were possessed. Having no other option, Wu Xie drew his dagger.

Regardless of whether the withered hands controlling A Ning were human or ghost, Wu Xie's immediate priority was to kill them.

Of course, Wu Xie was still nervous. This was his first time facing danger alone, and he had to find a way to eliminate it. More importantly, Wu Xie had no idea what this strange thing was, capable of both making someone lose consciousness and controlling their behavior.

More importantly, this guy seemed to be incredibly strong, managing to pull a living person like Aning over. The two boats were so far apart that even one person couldn't possibly pull another person onto the other.

Holding the dagger in his hand, Wu Xie didn't hesitate and swiftly stabbed the head connecting the two withered hands. A stream of dark green liquid immediately gushed out, splattering all over Wu Xie's face.

....... ...... 0

But what Wu Xie never expected was...

He did kill the strange thing in front of him.

But suddenly, the strange, steering wheel-like device on the iron gate started spinning rapidly on its own. Then, a series of "bang, bang, bang" sounds were heard.

It looked like something was banging on the iron gate from inside.

Once the mechanism was activated, the strange thing inside could no longer be contained. With a series of thuds, the rusty iron door was about to be smashed open.

"Be careful."

The door was about to fall, and A-Ning was still standing on the opposite side of the iron gate. Wu Xie reacted extremely quickly.

Just before the iron gate was smashed open, Wu Xie quickly shoved her to the other side. With a loud bang, the iron gate slammed heavily onto the ground.

Then appeared a monster that looked like a monkey, but was covered in scales. This thing was enormous, as big as a gorilla. Its footsteps made a series of loud thuds.

This clearly shows just how heavy this guy is.

Wu Xie's eyes were filled with terror. "A-Ning, A-Ning."

Aning remains unconscious.

Wu Xie saw the bullets on A Ning's body and hands, and hurriedly drew his gun, firing bullets incessantly. But this guy seemed completely unafraid of bullets; the bullets only left bloody holes in his body, not killing him at all.

Wu Xie was nervous, scared, and at the same time somewhat helpless.

Just as the monster was walking towards him, he reached out and slapped it away.

Chapter 146: The Siege by the Sea Monkeys and the Human-Faced Spider

Wu Xie was knocked to the ground, but the monster still wouldn't let him go.

Just when Wu Xie was on the verge of death, Wu Tianjiao suddenly descended from the sky...

Wu Tianjiao's knee slammed directly into the monster's face. The monster staggered back several steps and crashed into the wall.

It made a "bang" sound.

But this thing has very thick skin; bullets can't kill it, so being bumped into won't kill it.

[Ding! The system has issued a new mission: get Wu Xie and A Ning out of here safely. The host can unlock the nineteenth skill of the Thousand Manifestations Umbrella: Hidden Weapon - Rain of Pear Blossoms.]

The system's voice rang in Wu Tianjiao's mind.

"A barrage of hidden weapons, this skill is pretty good."

Wu Tianjiao smiled, then looked at Wu Xie and tossed him two pills. "These can help you recover. After you take them, take A Ning with you."

Wu Xie took the pill.

He ate one himself and fed one to A-Ning. "Brother Tian, ​​you have to be careful."

With that, Wu Xie picked up A Ning and ran up the stairs. He knew that even if they stayed here, they wouldn't be of any help to Wu Tianjiao and would only be a burden to him.

Wu Xie had just climbed the first flight of stairs when the monster, which was neither monkey nor fish, attacked Wu Tianjiao.

Wu Tianjiao bent over backwards and then kicked, sending the monster staggering back several steps once more. Seeing this, Wu Xie felt relieved, knowing that the monster before him was no match for Wu Tianjiao. At the same time, he felt a deep respect for Wu Tianjiao.

Brother Tian's skills are truly unfathomable.

The monster in front of us is one that can't be killed even by bullets.

He's basically easy prey in Brother Tian's hands. He must diligently practice the body-tempering technique Brother Tian gave him.

I don't aspire to be as skilled as Brother Tian.

At least he wouldn't become a burden to them; otherwise, what right would he have to be their friend in the future? After Wu Xie carried A Ning away, Wu Tianjiao looked at the monster that still couldn't get into his body and smiled.

"A failed product is a failed product; it's not presentable."

This so-called monster is actually called a sea monkey.

But it wasn't a monkey, nor was it a marine creature. It was an experimental subject created by some families in their quest for immortality.

Before they turned into these grotesque figures, they were once individuals. The experiment failed, and they ended up looking like these ghosts.

The sea monkey was instantly enraged by Wu Tianjiao's words and pounced on him. Despite its enormous size, it was incredibly agile. After all, its name was Monkey.

After a family experiment failed, instead of disposing of the failed test subjects, they kept them all.

The purpose of leaving them behind was to guard this underwater tomb for them.

To be precise, he was guarding the secrets of the underwater tomb for them. When the sea monkey pounced on Wu Tianjiao, Wu Tianjiao quickly opened the Thousand Manifestations Umbrella, the umbrella's canopy being forged from millennia-old black iron.

Even Shirley Yang's Vajra Umbrella wasn't as hard as one-tenth of its. The sea monkey crashed into Wu Tianjiao's Thousand Chance Umbrella and was immediately dazed and disoriented, its vision blurring.

He staggered a few steps, as if he were drunk.

It took him several minutes to regain consciousness.

Looking into Wu Tianjiao's eyes, they were practically blazing with fury.

He then picked up the door panel from the ground and smashed it directly at Wu Tianjiao. Wu Tianjiao's Thousand-Mechanism Umbrella transformed into a silver spear.

He wasn't comfortable letting Wu Xie go alone, so he didn't want to waste any more time arguing with the sea monkey.

As the rusty iron plate hurtled towards Wu Tianjiao, Wu Tianjiao thrust his spear, piercing right through it. The iron plate stopped in mid-air.

With a slight effort, Wu Tianjiao flicked his spear, and the iron plate slipped from the sea monkey's grasp, hovering in the air thanks to Wu Tianjiao's silver spear.

The sea monkey glanced at his empty hands. He seemed surprised that his weapon had been taken away so quickly. His eyes burned with fury.

Just as he was preparing to look for new weapons.

Buzzing....."

Wu Tianjiao spun the iron gate on the silver spear a few times, then threw it forcefully.

The iron gate, like a spinning dart, pierced the sea monkey's abdomen before it could react. The sea monkey, like a human, let out a cry of "Ah!" and its eyes widened. Then, with a thud, it crashed to the ground, seemingly dying with its eyes wide open.

Wu Tianjiao put away the Thousand Chance Umbrella and didn't dare to delay for even a quarter of an hour to find Wu Xie.

"Wu Xie, over here."

With A-Ning on his back, Wu Xie was having trouble getting out.

It was just a ship, yet it felt like a maze. No, it was more like a haunted house. So many ghosts. Some were green. Others looked exactly like the thing that flew onto Aning's neck—pairs of withered hands with heads.

"I recognize this thing. It's called a Human-Faced Streamer. Legend says it's the manifestation of a human ghost, and once you're entangled by it, it will drain all your life force..."

Ah Ning said, her face pale.

More and more human-faced figures appeared, along with an increasing number of green ghosts, surrounding Wu Xie and A Ning.

"Wu Xie, put me down. You might have a chance to survive on your own, but if you take me with you, neither of us will be able to escape," A Ning said.

Actually, Aning isn't a cold-blooded person. She just had no choice.

“No, even though we’re not on the same path, I don’t have the habit of abandoning women.” With that, Wu Xie loaded the gun in his hand with bullets. It was cocked.

"I don't care if these things are transformed from humans or ghosts, today I'm going to expose them for what they really are." At this moment, Wu Xie suddenly had the courage to stand alone. As he spoke, Wu Xie kept firing at those people.

But there were just so many of them, like jellyfish. Wu Xie had no idea where they all came from.

If, as Aning says, these things are truly transformed from ghosts, then far too many people have died. An archaeological team typically consists of only a dozen or twenty people at most.

Even if they are no longer in this world, it's impossible for so many ghosts to appear.

"Ah Ning, do you have any more magazines?" Wu Xie asked as he fired his gun.

Strangely enough, despite never having studied shooting or even touched a gun, his marksmanship was surprisingly accurate. He was almost always right.

It was as if she was born with this ability. 0.2. This stunned Ah Ning, leaving her lost in thought, seemingly pondering something. She didn't even react when Wu Xie called her. Meanwhile, Wu Xie's gun was almost empty.
