The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

After choosing the bloodline upgrade, a cool and smooth feeling emerged from my back.

Immediately afterwards, my body began to gradually warm up.

But this temperature is completely different from the temperature I felt when I first obtained the blood of the Qilin.

When he obtained the Qilin blood, he felt a burning sensation accompanied by swelling and stinging, but now he feels a faint warmth.

It felt like stepping into a heated room in the dead of winter; my whole body relaxed, feeling comfortable and at ease.

"That feels pretty good."

Fang Yun was somewhat surprised to feel this warmth.

He thought that upgrading his bloodline would be more painful than obtaining the bloodline.

That's how it ended...

The warmth lasted for a full five minutes before slowly disappearing.

"Not bad!" "553"

At this point, Fang Yun could already feel his physique improving.

His eyesight alone was much better than before; he could see the sweat on Qi Tiezui's face ten meters away, and everything was so clear and distinct.

He picked up a piece of gravel weighing about twenty pounds from beside his feet and weighed it.

He tossed the heavy stone, which weighed over twenty pounds, without feeling a thing, as easily as tossing an apple.

He estimated that he could lift 2,000 jin (1,000 kg), which was twice the strength of the strongest man in his previous life, or even more.

Two thousand catties is one ton, which doesn't really feel like much.

but.

Keep in mind that an ordinary car weighs only around 3000 pounds.

Now he can easily push or even overturn a car.

If given the right leverage, it wouldn't be impossible for the Qilin to lift a small car once its bloodline boils.

He casually tossed away the pebbles and picked up a small stone.

"Click..."

Give it a firm squeeze.

When he opened his palm, he saw that the small stone had been crushed into four or five pieces.

Only then did Fang Yun smile with satisfaction.

As he had predicted, his physical condition improved in every aspect.

Even if it doesn't quite reach the level of having skin of copper and bones of iron, it certainly won't be too far off.

Perhaps if his bloodline were to evolve once more, he could withstand bullets with his bones and skin and survive.

Of course, he would never do such an experiment.

However, it is foreseeable that most of the superficial injuries he will suffer in the future will be from bleeding himself.

"Feeling great..."

"One more time, and my defense will be as strong as a rice dumpling!"

"Hmm... I'll practice my alchemy skills when I get back, and refine all those inner cores and precious medicines into body-strengthening pills!"

After envisioning the future, Fang Yun felt extremely pleased.

I glanced at Zhang Qishan and the others who were searching the cave; they had already explored most of it.

Seeing this, Fang Yun stood up, stretched, and prepared to continue on his way.

"Click-clack click-clack..."

Fang Yun was stunned by this movement.

A series of cracking sounds came from his body, like firecrackers going off.

"Wow, that's impressive... even my ligaments and joints have evolved."

Feeling his body becoming lighter and stronger, Fang Yun immediately started moving around and did a few stretching exercises.

If he doesn't get used to it, he feels like he won't be able to control his body anymore.

After a series of activities, Fang Yun took a deep breath.

Cool!

"Um...what happened?"

Just then, Fang Yun realized that everyone was looking at him with surprise.

"Master Fang..." Qi Tiezui wiped his sweat and gave a wry smile, "Your bone strength is too exaggerated. We thought a zombie had woken up."

"The journey was too peaceful; my bones felt rusty."

Fang Yun shrugged and replied with a smile.

Speaking of which, when he first went down into the tomb, he was just as easily startled as Qi Tiezui.

Despite possessing martial arts skills, he was always incredibly nervous, feeling as if countless eyes were watching him from the darkness.

Now...

He couldn't wait to run into some zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) so he could have a good time.

After all, there aren't many people in the world these days who can withstand a punch from him.

Hearing Fang Yun's words, the group breathed a sigh of relief and turned their attention to the cave.

Only Zhang Qishan had a look of surprise and doubt on his face.

Previously, he had clearly felt a terrifying pressure.

The oppressive force came quickly and went quickly, disappearing before he could even detect it.

However, the expression on the faces of Zhang, the adjutant standing beside him, and his personal guards remained unchanged.

Although he had doubts, he dismissed them by thinking about the main purpose of this tomb raiding trip.

Perhaps it's just that I'm too anxious and have a lot of pent-up emotions.

.................................

Ten minutes later, Zhang Qishan sat down next to Fang Yun listlessly and sighed.

"Brother Fang, what do you think of this place?"

The cave has been almost completely explored, but no valuable clues have been found.

Fang Yun pondered for a moment, "These coffins are not from the same tomb."

"Judging from the size, only half of the coffins are from the mine burial sites; the rest were probably dug up from the vicinity of the mines."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qishan nodded in agreement:

"That's right, Ri himself used this place as a secret base and hid all the important things here."

After saying that, he took out a mine pit plan from his pocket and pointed to a location.

"Brother Fang, look at this spot."

"This represents the cave. There is a mine tunnel here. I found the tunnel earlier, but it has been blown up."

“On the plan, there is an X marked on the location of the mine tunnel, so I think there is a problem with that mine tunnel.”

Fang Yun glanced at the floor plan and a smile appeared on his lips.

"There is no three hundred taels of silver here."

“If this mine tunnel is a dead end, then why waste explosives?”

“Look at the coffins in front. The closer the coffins are to the mine tunnel, the dirtier they are. The soil covering them hasn’t even been swept clean. They’ve never been opened.”

"I suspect there was something unclean in the mine tunnel that Riku himself couldn't handle, which is why he blew up the tunnel and didn't even dare to open the remaining coffins."

"Remember the spiral mine tunnel? It was probably blown up to block the filth. The remaining part was a retreat left by Riku himself. They still wanted to get into that laboratory."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qishan suddenly stood up, realizing what was happening.

He had always felt something strange along the way, and now that Fang Yun had said this, he knew where that strange feeling came from.

That was Riku's own goal!

It's true that Ritsu himself used this place as a laboratory.

However, when Riku himself fled the mine, he took everything of importance with him.

From this perspective, Ritsu himself should never have taken the risk of coming back to the mine.

But Rihanna herself still came.

Every cause has its effect.

The person in question certainly didn't intend for it to be a worthless, dilapidated laboratory.

Thinking of the unfinished areas on the mine's plan, Zhang Qishan felt a surge of emotions.
