The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

In the mine tunnel ahead, a gray-black skeleton with long black hair over a meter long floated in mid-air.

Because of a slight breeze in the mine tunnel, the skeleton was slowly turning, and its black hair was fluttering wildly.

At that moment, the skeleton turned around completely, and its two empty eye sockets were now facing Fang Yun directly, making it look as if it were staring at him.

When Fang Yun first saw the skeleton with black hair, he was indeed startled.

Because at first glance, this thing looks like a skull flying in the air using its hair, which is a bit intimidating.

However, upon closer inspection, he saw the problem with the skeleton.

The skeleton was suspended from the top of the mine tunnel by a steel wire, and the black hair was probably glued on. It served no purpose other than to scare people.

At this moment, everyone caught up with Fang Yun and saw the scene before them.

When they saw the skeleton, everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.

However, seeing that the skeleton was just floating and not moving, they were able to keep their minds calm.

"Don't shoot, it's just a bluffing little trick."

Fang Yun addressed the group, then strode forward, wielding the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow to sever the steel wire connecting the cave ceiling and the skull.

Chapter 202 The Melody in the Cave, The Blind Miner!

"Click!"

The skeleton, with its black hair, fell to the ground, causing a crisp tapping sound.

Upon seeing this, everyone's faces showed a look of sudden realization.

It's just a scare tactic, not even a proper mechanism.

"It's a fake! It scared me to death!"

"Who's so bored as to scare people without actually hurting them?"

Qi Tiezui took two steps forward, hid behind Fang Yun, and complained as he looked at the skull in front of him.

Upon hearing Qi Tiezui's words, Fang Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

The skull is suspended by a steel wire, a specially phosphated steel wire coated with light-absorbing powder, which is undoubtedly a modern invention, and ordinary people cannot obtain this kind of steel wire.

Most of them were left by Riku himself.

It's probably used to scare and confuse people with the Blood Poison Grass.

Blood Poison Grass doesn't attack each other. It's easy to fool people in warm places. People with black hair will think it's one of their own and will go around it.

"You may encounter similar small traps again later, so don't scare yourself unnecessarily."

Zhang Qishan and Huo Sanniang used this intimidating little gadget as an example to reprimand their subordinates.

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

Then, the group of about twenty people continued walking forward.

After walking for about two minutes, Fang Yun suddenly stopped and blocked the group again.

Qi Tiezui was walking right behind Fang Yun, and when Fang Yun stopped, he almost bumped into him.

Steadying himself up, Qi Tiezui looked ahead into the empty mine tunnel and asked in confusion:

"Master Fang, there's nothing ahead."

"It'll be ready soon, so be quiet and stand aside!"

Fang Yun said something in a low voice and told the group to lean against the rock wall.

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, the group quickly sprang into action, moving towards the rock face.

His gaze was fixed on the depths of the mine.

Those present were all seasoned tomb raiders and skilled military personnel, and their minds were quick.

Everyone realized that Fang Yun might have discovered something, and that thing was alive!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to give way!

"Miner...々."

Fang Yun, standing at the front of the line, smiled.

He had heard a faint sound earlier.

Although the sound was very soft, so soft that no one else could hear it, he still managed to hear it clearly with his hearing.

That's the sound of traditional Chinese opera!

After waiting for about ten seconds, the singing grew louder and louder.

The singing voice was somewhat low and hoarse, gradually reaching everyone's ears.

Upon hearing that eerie, low voice, the entire team panicked, and everyone drew their guns, aiming them deep into the mine tunnel.

"Don't move, there's only one person ahead."

Seeing this, Fang Yun waved his hand to calm everyone down.

After listening to Fang Yun's explanation, the team calmed down.

Although it's unclear how Fang Yun determined that there was someone ahead, and specifically, that it was just one person, Fang Yun must have been confident in saying that.

If it's just one person, then things will be much easier.

As the saying goes, even a dragon can't escape its swift flight.

There are about twenty people here, all carrying guns, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

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

Before long, a figure emerged from the depths of the mine.

From a distance, all one could see was that the person was dressed in white and had disheveled hair.

However, judging from his physique, it is still clear that he is a man.

He hummed a little tune softly.

At this moment, the man was slowly approaching the group.

However, his walking posture was a bit strange. He touched the wall with one hand and the front of him with the other, just like a blind person.

As the man drew closer, the crowd was able to see his face clearly.

He looked to be in his fifties, dressed in miner's clothes, which were very dirty, and with a wig that was almost hanging down to the ground.

Most strikingly, he had a hideous scar on his face.

The scar started behind his ear, running from left to right across his entire face, making it look as if his face had been cut in two, with his eyes tightly closed.

This also explains his unusual walking posture.

This man is blind, and he must be a miner!

After seeing the person's appearance, everyone except Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

It's neither something dirty nor Riji himself.

At this moment, the old miner stopped, looked up, smiled, and sang out another note.

"Hold the bow in your left hand, nock the arrow in your right, and shoot it into the air..."

"Mu Guiying breaks through the Heavenly Gate Formation!"

Huo San Niang blurted out, her face filled with shock.

She had heard this piece of music before, and many times.

In Changsha, there aren't many troupes that have the confidence to sing this Peking Opera piece. The Hongfu Opera Troupe is the best at it, and only the Hongfu Troupe dares to set up a stage in the city to sing this piece.

People from the Red Mansion came to this mine before, but only one person ever came out alive.

Could it be that the person in front of us dressed in miner's clothes is from the Red Mansion?

After all, these days... people who can afford to listen to operas are not ordinary people.

Thinking of this, Huo San Niang was about to ask a question.

But the old miner was startled by her voice and ran quickly into the depths of the mine.

Seeing this, Huo Sanniang said nothing and chased after them.

By the time everyone realized what was happening, the blind miner and Huo Sanniang had already disappeared from sight.

"What... what happened to Third Sister?"

Qi Tiezui was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Qishan.

The Huo family members were in the same boat. Huo San Niang left without saying a word. They didn't know what to do now and could only listen to Zhang Qishan.

"Now is not the time to talk, let's chase!"

Zhang Qishan was also somewhat puzzled, but he quickly calmed himself down and led his team to catch up.

Fang Yun walked at the back, completely unperturbed.

He knew there was no danger ahead.
