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

Chapter 154: A Contest of Strength

"No, Uncle San! Everyone is innocent! Why did you do this? Why did you kill everyone?"

Meanwhile, for some unknown reason, Wu Xie, who was lying in the coffin, had a very strange dream.

In his dream, he was also in this place, in the underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands, where he saw his third uncle killing someone.

The people killed were none other than the members of Chen Wenjin's archaeological team who had mysteriously disappeared years ago.

Wu Xie stared in disbelief at the scene before him, wondering why his third uncle had done this.

Wu Sansheng looked at Wu Xie.

"Wu Xie, what are you standing there for? Come here and kill them with your third uncle."

"No, Third Uncle, I can't do this, and you can't do this either." With that, Wu Xie ran over.

Wu Xie started fighting with Wu Sansheng, and his main goal was to take the knife from Wu Sansheng's hand.

The two fought for a long time. It was really just a contest of strength between them.

Finally, Wu Xie was pushed out by Wu Sansheng. He almost fell.

"Third Uncle, why did you do this? What was your plan? Why did you kill them? They were all your good friends and former colleagues."

Wu Xie clutched his stomach. He had just been pushed and punched by his third uncle.

"I killed them? Wu Xie, you say I killed them, but it was clearly you, Qi Yu, who killed them. I just didn't want to see them tortured so much by you."

"Qi Yu, do you think that just because you've changed your name, you're no longer Qi Yu? Everything that happened twenty years ago started because of you. I really didn't expect that you killed them once twenty years ago, and twenty years later, you still won't let them go."

At this moment, Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling both raised their heads, pointed at Wu Xie, and said with hatred.

Qi Yu, why did you kill us? We trusted you so much, why were you so cruel?

Wu Xie took a few steps back.

"Who is Qi Yu? I have no idea who Qi Yu is. Why are you calling me Qi Yu?" Wu Xie's head was throbbing.

It was as if another person's memories were rushing into his mind.

"Qi Yu, prepare to die."

Just then, Wu Xie suddenly heard a familiar voice. Looking up, he saw it was none other than Xiao Ge.

At this moment, the young man had a trickle of blood on the corner of his mouth, and it was unclear what had injured him.

He brandished his black gold ancient sword and slashed directly at Wu Xie. Wu Xie had no idea what was going on, but he knew he had to dodge. Otherwise, wouldn't he be waiting to die?

"Brother, it's me, Wu Xie! Why are you trying to kill me? I don't think I've offended you," Wu Xie asked while dodging.

"Qi Yu, why aren't you fighting back? Aren't you a special agent sent from above? Aren't you very capable? Are you afraid I can't beat you because you're afraid I can't beat you?"

Zhang Qiling was at his peak fighting strength at this moment.

Every attack aimed at Wu Xie was deadly. Wu Xie was almost in tears.

"Brother, why are you also calling me Qi Yu? But I really don't know anyone named Qi Yu."

Just as Wu Xie was desperately trying to explain things to Xiao Ge...

The young man wielded a sharp black gold ancient knife, slicing it down directly towards the man's neck as if cutting a watermelon.

With a start, Wu Xie woke up from his nightmare, gasping for breath.

He touched his head.

I immediately breathed a sigh of relief; thank goodness my head was still intact. It seemed it was just a nightmare.

What puzzled Wu Xie was why he had such a strange nightmare. As the saying goes, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night.

He admitted that when he saw the notebook his third uncle had left behind, he did connect it to some events from back then. But who is Qi Yu?

He really had never heard of it.

No one had ever mentioned this name in Uncle San's notebook. So why would the name of a stranger he didn't recognize inexplicably appear in his dreams?

What's even stranger is that Chen Wenjin, Huo Ling, Xiao Ge, and even Uncle Three all say he is Qi Yu. But he is clearly Wu Xie.

Wu Xie really couldn't understand what was going on. He thought that he was probably too stressed and anxious about finding his third uncle, which was why he was having those weird and chaotic dreams.

But haven't I already gone into the tomb?

How can I still be dreaming?

Wu Xie slowly opened his eyes.

I found myself surrounded by complete darkness.

He seemed to be lying in a cramped space. Wu Xie quickly figured out where he was. It appeared to be a coffin.

Wu Xie was startled; why was he lying in a coffin?

I'm not dead yet, so who's so heartless as to put me in a coffin?

Luckily, I woke up in time, otherwise I would have suffocated in the coffin.

Wu Xie used all his strength to pry open the coffin lid. Luckily, the coffin wasn't sealed shut. Otherwise, he would be dead for good. He crawled out of the coffin.

Wu Xie checked himself over and found he was completely unharmed. Strangely, his equipment was gone, and it wasn't around either.

Only a flashlight remained in the coffin. Wu Xie tapped his head, trying to recall what had just happened. Why was he lying in a coffin? Where was his diving gear? Where were Tian Ge and Xiao Ge?

Wu Xie remembered something.

But those were memories from before he entered the ancient tomb; once inside, he remembered nothing.

Wu Xie felt that things were extremely strange and eerie. Why was he lying in a coffin? He couldn't have climbed in himself, could he?

He believed that Brother Tian, ​​Brother Xiao, and even Fatty would never do this to him. Could it be A Ning?

But why would she do that? He risked his life to save her from danger on the ghost ship. Even if she didn't want to repay the kindness, she couldn't possibly repay kindness with enmity.

Wu Xie simply couldn't understand the intricacies involved. So he decided to stop thinking about it.

The most important thing right now is to find Brother Tian and Brother Xiao...

After killing the red-haired zombie, Wu Tianjiao obtained two thousand gold coins and five thousand experience points. Then, he and Fatty and the others walked out of the side chamber through the passageway and arrived at an even narrower passageway.

This passageway was not only long, but also exceptionally wide. The walls on all sides were covered with eternal lamps.

Walking along this passageway gives one a particularly grand feeling.

"Brother Tian, ​​aren't we going to wait for Tianzhen and Zhang Tuzi? This tomb is so big, what if they can't find us?" the fat man asked as they walked.

No. Maybe they're already inside.

Wu Tianjiao had barely finished speaking when he saw the light of a flashlight...

"Tianzhen, Brother Tian, ​​it's Tianzhen," the fat man said, shining his flashlight ahead. Wu Xie was so blinded by the light from the fat man's flashlight that he could barely open his eyes.

"Fatty, can you please stop shaking me? You're blinding me."

Wu Xie shielded his eyes with his hand as he spoke. Fatty then realized what was happening and quickly moved the flashlight beam away. Immediately afterward, Wu Xie ran over.

"Brother Tian, ​​where have you been? I've finally found you! And why did you put me in a coffin? Did you encounter some danger?"

Chapter 155: Ah Ning, what are you standing there for? Kill them!

After thinking for a long time, Wu Xie could only come up with this answer. Otherwise, there would be no reason for him to appear in the coffin out of nowhere. He must have encountered some danger.

Tian Ge and the others couldn't protect him, so they temporarily put him in the coffin to let him hide.

Wu Xie had no memory of what danger he had encountered.

"Tianzhen, are you sick? What nonsense are you talking about? What coffin? Who put you in a coffin? We haven't seen you since we went into the tomb."

The fat man said.

Then he reached out and touched Wu Xie's head, "Let me see, do you have a fever?"

Wu Xie shook off the fat man's hand.

"You're the one with a fever."

He looked at Wu Tianjiao, about to tell him about the strange thing that had just happened, when Wu Tianjiao interrupted him in time.

"Wu Xie, where's Consultant Zhang? Where did he go? Wasn't he with you?"

Although Wu Tianjiao didn't know what Wu Xie had gone through.

However, he could roughly guess that it must be related to someone named Qi Yu.

Wu Tianjiao now suspects that A Ning may not just be Jude Kao's subordinate, but possibly a double agent. He also suspects that Fatty may have a special identity.

Therefore, you must never let them know or hear the name "Qi Yu".

The fat guy is alright; he was just paid to come, and he'll definitely side with them in the future.

However, Ah Ning is always loyal, and it would be troublesome if she doubted that Wu Xie was not Wu Xie.

In fact, even Wu Tianjiao didn't know whether Wu Xie was really Wu Xie, because the original novel didn't elaborate on that.

However, Wu Tianjiao knew that some people had always suspected that Wu Xie was not Wu Xie.

They had planted many spies around Wu Xie to uncover his identity. Wu Xie was immediately taken aback. Consultant Zhang?

Wasn't Consultant Zhang with you? I haven't seen him since I regained consciousness.
