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

Wu Tianjiao shook his head. "It's not that I trust us, it's that I don't trust them."

"Don't you trust them?"

Wu Xie became even more confused after hearing Wu Tianjiao's words.

Aren't Ah Ning and her subordinates on our side? Don't people on our side trust each other?

Wu Tianjiao glanced at A Ning's so-called subordinates and knew that some of them had likely infiltrated other organizations.

Moreover, Aning may not necessarily be completely one of Jude Kao's people.

She might just be an undercover agent planted by some organization to monitor Jude Kao.

Of course, these were just Wu Tianjiao's own speculations. He didn't know whether A Ning was actually a spy within a spy.

Donning their merman diving suits, everyone went into the sea. In fact, given Wu Tianjiao and Xiao Ge's abilities, they could stay underwater for no more than half an hour without wearing any equipment.

But that would expose the young man. As for Wu Tianjiao, he didn't want to stand out too much either.

So the two of them put on diving suits. Everyone in this group that went into the sea was no ordinary person.

Even Wu Xie, who had little experience in tomb raiding, became stronger than ordinary people after practicing the Body Tempering Technique given to him by Wu Tianjiao.

Even if Wu Tianjiao didn't give Wu Xie the Body Tempering Technique, Wu Xie would gradually become stronger. Wu Xie was the future hope of the Wu family, whom the family had carefully nurtured for over twenty years. How could they possibly let him just be an ordinary person?

Wu Xie's unpredictable marksmanship, which he had previously demonstrated, is the best proof of this.

Everyone was highly skilled, so the diving process went exceptionally smoothly. Before long, they had descended to the seabed.

Upon reaching the bottom of the sea, a massive ancient tomb came into view.

Because it's an underwater tomb, the entire structure of the ancient tomb is clearly visible. It's as if a palace was built underwater.

Even Wu Tianjiao was deeply moved after seeing it.

Wang Zanghai truly deserves to be called an architectural genius. How did he manage to build such a large palace underwater?

Even now, it's an unlikely thing to accomplish.

Everyone was awestruck by the underwater tomb before them.

Then, Aning swam towards Wu Tianjiao and pointed to the northwest. According to her subordinates, there was a tomb raider's tunnel in the northwest.

The hole was left just now.

Based on their judgment, it should be the work of Wu Sansheng.

In other words, Wu Sansheng was just using them when he approached them for cooperation. Once he actually found the underwater tomb, he would discard them.

Wu Tianjiao and the others followed A Ning to the entrance of the tunnel dug by Wu Sansheng. It was almost certain that Wu Sansheng was responsible.

Chapter 150: The Female Ghost, with Lips Redder Than Cherries

Logging tunnels is an extremely complex job in itself.

Digging tunnels in the sea is even more difficult.

There are probably very few people in this world who could do that.

Wu Sansheng is one of them.

Wu Tianjiao is one, and this young man is another.

However, the other two were not suspected, making Wu Sansheng the prime suspect. Looking at the tomb-raiding tunnel before him, Wu Xie couldn't help but admire his uncle's skill. According to A Ning, his uncle had been working with them alone from beginning to end.

He had called Panzi and the others before he came.

They didn't even know that Third Uncle was missing, or how he managed to dig such a large tunnel all by himself. Wu Tianjiao patted Wu Xie on the shoulder, indicating that they should go inside first.

Then the group went into the tunnel.

Suddenly I noticed there were lots and lots of hairs on the wall.

Moreover, these strands of hair resembled long, thin black snakes, lunging towards them. Wu Tianjiao immediately raised the ring in his hand.

A surge of boundless blue karmic fire shot directly towards the hair. The hair, which had been stretched out, began to retract. Fortunately, Wu Tianjiao was prepared.

Otherwise, I would definitely be swallowed by this hair.

Just as Wu Tianjiao was focused on dealing with these troublesome things, Wu Xie suddenly saw a woman. This woman was not A Ning.

Instead, it was a woman with a very strange appearance; she wasn't wearing a diving suit, but rather a white dress.

It's not just the clothes that are white.

His entire body was white, but not the kind of white that comes from normal skin tone or makeup. It was a white like plaster on a wall, so white that it lacked any color. His hair, however, was black, but not a normal black either. It was a blacker than ink.

When Wu Xie saw this woman, he could only think of one kind of creature: a female ghost. He had encountered a white-clad female ghost when he passed through the tunnel to reach the Seven Star Lu Palace, which had nearly scared him to death.

Even now, thinking back on it still gives me lingering fear.

But strangely, he wasn't afraid of the female ghost at all. Her gaze was incredibly gentle, even captivating him.

Slowly, the female ghost extended her right hand, her skin as white as plaster. She stroked Wu Xie's face.

This gave Wu Xie the illusion that he had found his lover. Then, the white-clad female ghost slowly removed the oxygen from Wu Xie's mouth. Her lips, redder than cherries, slowly approached him...

"Hey, Wu Xie, what's wrong?"

Fatty, who was right next to Wu Xie, noticed that something was wrong with him and hurriedly patted Wu Xie, but couldn't wake him up. He was extremely anxious and kept calling out to him in his mind.

Just as the woman in white's lips were about to touch Wu Xie's, Wu Xie instantly snapped back to reality.

But the woman in white was still by his side.

However, he became less gentle and more ferocious and terrifying.

Her hair stood on end instantly, surrounding Wu Xie.

It was as if the Ghostly Granny had flung out her long hair. Wu Xie instinctively kicked out and then ran back as fast as he could. The woman in white continued to chase after him at top speed. Fatty was completely confused about what was going on.

He hurriedly turned around and went back to chase after Wu Xie.

But as soon as he turned around, he was kicked hard in the chest.

It crashed into the wall.

With a "click," it seemed as if some mechanism had been triggered. The water inside the tunnel instantly formed a whirlpool and was sucked in. However, Wu Xie managed to escape from the tunnel.

He continued to be chased by the female ghost. Wu Xie swam extremely fast, but the female ghost swam even faster.

Soon, they blocked his path. Wu Xie recalled the moves from the Body Tempering Technique and began fighting with the white-clad female ghost.

However, Wu Xie had only been practicing the Body Tempering Technique for a few days, and he was carrying a heavy oxygen tank, plus they were underwater.

His movements would certainly be restricted to some extent. In short, Wu Xie was no match for this female ghost at the moment. Wu Xie quickly found himself at a disadvantage.

Just as he was about to be captured by the female ghost, the young man suddenly appeared.

A pair of slender fingers, sharp as swords, struck the white-clad female ghost's neck. The white-clad female ghost was sent flying.

Then, the young man's two fingers instantly reappeared in front of her. This attack would have been enough to kill her. But at the crucial moment, the young man stopped. The white-clad female ghost also looked at the young man.

The two acted as if they knew each other. The white-clad female ghost showed a hint of gratitude in her eyes when she saw that the young man hadn't killed her.

Then he left. The young man swam to Wu Xie's side, took off his oxygen mask, and asked, "Are you alright?" Wu Xie shook his head and then also took off his oxygen mask.

"Hey buddy, why don't you kill that female ghost of yours?"

“She’s not a female ghost.” The young man looked in the direction the old woman had left.

"Not a female ghost?" Wu Xie was taken aback.

"Then what is she?"

"And why does she have to come looking for me when so many other people aren't?" Wu Xie wondered why every female ghost seemed to be looking for him.

It happened last time, and it happened again this time. Last time, she fell for her trick because she was curious.

But this time he didn't do anything at all.

The young man did not answer Wu Xie's question. Because it wasn't the right time for him to know everything.

Let's go find Brother Tian and the others first.

At this moment, Wu Tianjiao, Fatty, and the others were still in the middle of a huge vortex.

Wu Tianjiao took out the Thousand Chance Umbrella, and the rope immediately flew out, grabbing Fatty and A Ning.

Then, with a swift movement, they flew towards the right side of the vortex. Soon after, the three of them landed in a tomb chamber. Judging from the structure of the chamber and the amount of burial goods, it appeared to be a side chamber...

(The following is subject to revision)

“In that case, let’s go down and explore. This is the last leg of our journey. I, Fatty, will go down first and help you discuss the route. Whether we live or die is up to fate.” Fatty said, putting on his oxygen mask.

Then he jumped off the wind-eroded lake.

A large splash of water erupted.

Seeing the fat man go down, Hu Bayi also put on his oxygen mask, then gestured to Wu Yutian and the others behind him before jumping down.

"It all started when we went to the Taklamakan Desert, from the Ghost Cave, and let's end it here. I'm so sorry to have dragged you into this." After saying this, Shirley Yang jumped down as well.

Wu Yutian then had Xiao Ge stand behind the Iron Triangle to help the three of them.

He then took Ah Xiang, Shirley Yang, Ah Xiang, and Uncle Ming behind him, and with oxygen tanks on their backs, they jumped down into the wind-eroded lake.

Beneath this wind-eroded lake, a giant eyeball totem stands amidst the ancient city ruins formed by wind-eroded rocks.
