The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Chapter 204 The Final Step!

The old miner's expression changed drastically when he spoke of the collapsed mine tunnel.

"You came to the mine, not for that tomb, right?"

"I advise you not to continue down this road; there are problems ahead."

Seeing the old miner's strange expression, Qi Tiezui shuddered and lowered his voice.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with the road ahead?"

The old miner shook his head and sighed heavily, "Sigh."

“We’ve seen a lot of weird things in the mines, but this pit is different; it’s very eerie.”

Although the old miner didn't say it explicitly, everyone present could roughly guess what it meant.

When they were excavating this mine and ancient tomb, they must have encountered something unclean.

Zhang Qishan pondered for a moment and asked:

"Grandpa, could you tell me in detail what happened back then?"

"Given the current turbulent situation, Rihanna's decision to target the mines is certainly ill-intentioned. We must investigate this matter thoroughly."

"What happened before... was absolutely terrifying."

The old miner sighed, but did not refuse, and said:

“At first, we miners were only responsible for digging tunnels, not for digging tombs. We didn’t know what was inside the tombs; we only occasionally managed to dig out some coffins.”

"Just as the ancient tomb was about to be excavated, the mine tunnel outside the tomb was blown up, and that's when everything started."

"I don't know if the blasting awakened the things in the tomb, but since then, many strange noises have been heard from the other side of the mine tunnel."

“Our group of miners were all from Changsha, and we knew what people from all walks of life in Changsha were doing. We had also heard about the things in the tomb.”

"Riki himself unearthed a lot of gold and silver jewelry..."

The old miner spoke slowly, and everyone listened attentively.

It took the old miner a full twenty minutes to explain what had happened back then.

They unearthed many tombs, which grew larger and larger until they finally discovered the entrance to a massive ancient tomb.

After the mine tunnel leading to the entrance of the ancient tomb was blown up, strange noises would always come from that entrance.

The miners knew the tomb was dangerous and sinister, and were unwilling to dig any further.

But Riku himself was unwilling to give up, after all, they had already tasted the benefits and wanted to thoroughly excavate the ancient tomb.

So Riku himself threatened the miners to keep digging.

During the digging process, the miners encountered many strange things.

But even the veteran miners didn't know exactly what it was.

Because the miners who saw those strange things were all killed by Riku himself while trying to escape.

It seems that Riku himself did not want the miners to be frightened and run away because of what they saw in the tomb, so he blinded the surviving miners.

He had blind miners stand guard in the tomb passage as sentries for Riku himself.

Upon hearing any noise, immediately alert Ri to the person who was digging a tunnel to rob the tomb.

After that, Riku himself didn't know what he had encountered, and gunshots and explosions rang out for most of the day.

The old miner was just a young man more than thirty years ago. When he heard the commotion, he ran deep into the mine tunnel and hid.

He also heard some miners begging for mercy and cursing, indicating that Riki himself had killed all the miners he found.

After killing the miners, Ritsu himself withdrew from the mine.

When he finally made his way back to his dwelling, he discovered that he was the only one who had survived.

He had a deep memory of the mine tunnels and could have slowly figured out how to leave the mine, but he didn't dare to leave because he thought it was very important to him and was worried about implicating his family.

Fortunately, Ri had prepared enough supplies in the mine to last a hundred people for several years, and he has survived to this day thanks to those supplies.

"So, you don't know what's inside that ancient tomb either?"

After listening to the old miner's story, Zhang Qishan frowned deeply.

They thought the old miners knew what was inside the tomb, but they never expected Riku himself to be so ruthless, blinding all the miners.

"I do know a little bit."

The old miner waved his hand, his expression somber. "The mine foreman speaks Japanese. I heard some things from the Japanese."

"Ri himself said there were many poisonous insects in the tomb, some that would eat people's hair, and even some eight-headed snakes..."

"That's why I said that tomb was extremely terrifying... It seems like there's everything inside. Whatever people are most afraid of, that's what will appear inside. Even Riku himself didn't dare to continue exploring."

· ·········Request flowers· ···

"The bells I heard earlier were the ones that Ri was tied to in the mine shaft. When things from the tomb came out, they would hit the bells. Also, the wig on my head was used to confuse those who eat human hair."

Qi Tiezui's face turned green as soon as the old miner finished speaking.

"What people fear most is what is most likely to appear inside them."

"Grandpa, please don't scare us. It's just a tomb, how could it be so eerie?"

"Old Eight!"

Zhang Qishan held Qi Tiezui down, his expression unchanged.

It's normal for there to be something dirty in the tomb; he wasn't surprised.

But he doesn't believe that what you fear will inevitably happen to you.

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

Perhaps there was some hallucinogenic drug in the tomb that caused people to see hallucinations.

Furthermore, now that we've come this far, even if there's a dragon lying in the tomb, he'd still have to crawl in; there's no turning back.

The old miner knew his words sounded a bit strange, and smiled wryly:

"I didn't believe it at first either, but that's what the mine foreman heard from Riji himself."

"I did hear some strange sounds, but after Riki himself left, those sounds became less and less frequent. The last time I heard the bell was more than a month ago."

"Those things won't come here. As long as you don't wander around, you won't encounter them."

"Sir, don't worry."

At this moment, Huo Sanniang also spoke up, "Since you are from Changsha, you naturally know what our Huo family and Qi family do."

"This time, we will get you out safely. I'm sure you miss home."

Thank you all...

The old miner was quite excited and nodded quickly.

He also knew that after so many years, his parents were probably long gone.

But if they could go home, who would want to stay in the mountains like a lonely ghost?

Listening to the conversation at the table, Fang Yun, who was standing to the side smoking, sighed.

The old miner's body was covered in a heavy aura of death, he was probably poisoned by the Blood Poison Grass, and he wouldn't last much longer.

Even if they hadn't been infected by the Blood Poison Grass, staying in a place like this for so long would have already taken a toll on their internal organs.

Chapter 205 The Entrance to the Ancient Tomb!

That night, the group stayed in the miners' dormitory.

Zhang Qishan had already reached an agreement with the old miner during dinner earlier.

Tomorrow, let the old miner lead them to find the entrance to that ancient tomb.

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

Silent all night.

The next day, the group of more than twenty people woke up early.

"Come, come with me."

After finishing his meal, the old miner called out, walked to his bedside, lay down, and reached under the bed.

“There are many boxes under the bed, please take them out for me.”

Upon hearing the old miner's words, several of Zhang's personal guards immediately stepped forward to help.

Before long, the things under the bed were moved out.

There were five long wooden crates in total.

"Is this a '560'... gun?"

Looking at the long wooden crate, Qi Tiezui chuckled, "Grandpa, we're all carrying guns."

"It's not a gun."

The old miner waved his hand and groped to open a wooden box.
