The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Chapter 222 Destroying the Ancient Tomb in the Mine!

After leaving the main burial chamber, Fang Yun quickened his pace and returned the way he came.

When he arrived at the place where he had knocked out those seven idiots, he found that they were gone.

"Is she already awake?"

"It seems the Seven Star Formation is already set up; I need to get going as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Fang Yun temporarily suppressed his joy and ran towards the method of the Seven Star Formation.

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

Before long, Fang Yun returned to the Seven Star Formation.

Fang Yun raised an eyebrow after scanning the room.

Those seven people really did find their way back on their own.

Moreover, they chose the right direction; if those people had chosen the wrong direction, they might have bumped into him in the main burial chamber.

"Master Fang, you're finally back!"

"If you don't come back soon, we're all going to come looking for you!"

Seeing Fang Yun emerge from the dark woods, Qi Tiezui quickly waved.

Fang Yun nodded, and before anyone could ask, he said directly:

“I encountered them earlier and saw that they were in a hallucination and were about to jump into the pit. I had no choice but to knock them unconscious.”

"I explored the cave further, but it was a dead end on that side. Realizing the exit was on this side, I quickly came back."

"No wonder they all said they woke up lying on the ground." Qi Tiezui nodded in realization.

"Eighth Brother, now is not the time to talk."

Seeing Qi Tiezui start talking non-stop again, Zhang Qishan quickly stopped him and then said to Fang Yun:

"Brother Fang, the Seven Star Formation has been set up, and the energy of the meteorite copper has been suppressed. We are safe for now."

“However, I think this place is too eerie, and we shouldn’t get too close to the meteorite. After discussing it with Third Sister, Eighth Brother, and I, we all think it’s better to leave immediately.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly:

"That's what I think too. You've all experienced the evil of that meteorite copper, so it's best to avoid it as much as possible."

"At least, we've achieved our goal for this tomb raiding trip. Once we get out, we'll blast the mountain, and even if Riku himself had two extra hands, he wouldn't be able to dig out the meteorite from hundreds of meters underground."

Zhang Qishan smiled confidently, "Needless to say, with me here, the Japanese will never have the chance to get close to this area again."

"Okay, let's hurry up and go. I think I know which way the exit is."

After a brief chat, Fang Yun led his team back the way they came.

Because the Seven Star Array altered the magnetic field and suppressed the energy of the meteorite copper, the group no longer needed to worry about the illusion, and their return journey was much faster.

After walking for two minutes after emerging from the woods, the group arrived at one end of the cave.

Just as Fang Yun had predicted, there was an entrance on one side of the cave.

After entering the cave, there is a long, narrow natural passage that leads to a maze.

Fang Yun felt somewhat embarrassed after returning to the maze.

The truth is already very clear.

When he entered the maze earlier, he was too confident, thinking that the entrance to the main tomb was hidden in the center of the maze.

Who knew that Qingwuzi valued the meteorite copper more than his own main tomb chamber, and actually built a maze array to surround it.

That's what led him to fall victim to the attack...

After all, the normal idea of ​​tomb raiders is that the tomb owner must be lying in the key point of the tomb. No one would think that the tomb owner would hide a stone in the key point of the tomb.

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

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

Next, Fang Yun led the team back to the Bagua Pass smoothly.

After picking up the old miner who had been waiting outside the tomb, as well as the people who had been looking after him, the group quickly turned back.

First, there was the Blood Poison Grass Mine, then the Lava River, and then the Spiral Mine...

By the time everyone returned to the Taoist temple where they had initially entered the tomb, nearly three hours had passed.

The return trip shouldn't have taken this long.

However, Zhang Qishan was very cautious in his attitude toward Ri himself, and stopped several times along the way.

Every time they stopped, they would blow up some important passageways.

For example, the main passageways leading to the main burial chamber include the maze-like passageway, the lava river, and the spiral mine tunnel.

These are all essential routes that, if blasted, would not cause a landslide, but would completely conceal the main burial chamber and the meteorite.

After everyone left the Taoist temple, Zhang Qishan even blew up the hidden tomb passage beneath the temple.

Even so, Zhang Qishan was still not at ease.

He instructed his adjutant to contact the sixty Zhang family guards who had been keeping watch around the area to assemble.

Then, more than sixty people went into action together.

They even dragged Huo Sanniang and her subordinates into it.

The team of nearly eighty people circled the mine (Li Qian's) and blew up every visible opening, regardless of size.

After this barrage of bombings, the entire mine was completely destroyed, and there was no longer a single passageway into the mine pit.

Now, it would take at least several years to clear the mine pit.

With Zhang Qishan overseeing things in Changsha, it's impossible for Ri himself to undertake such a large-scale operation; manpower and time are both issues.

The matter was resolved, but it took several extra hours.

They were supposed to leave the mine at 2 p.m., but the blasting took four hours.

By the time the group got into the trucks to return to the city, the sun had already set.

By the time we finally got into the city, it was already 11 or 12 at night.

Chapter 223 The Return Journey!

Midnight.

Fang Yun and his entourage, weary from their journey, finally returned to the city.

The group looked exhausted; the trip to the mine had taken a heavy toll on their energy.

"Thanks to Brother Fang's great help, we were able to return safely from this trip to the mine."

Zhang Qishan patted Fang Yun on the shoulder, as if testing something.

"You flatter me, Your Excellency. It concerns our homeland; it's just my duty."

……

Fang Yun didn't want to stay here any longer.

Xiangzuka Book is still lying quietly in its own space.

For Fang Yun, it was better to spend time here exchanging unnecessary pleasantries with Zhang Qishan and the others.

It would be better to find a place and quickly study the Book of Xiangzhong.

Fang Yun dared not even imagine how much strength could be enhanced from a peerless book that encompassed the five wonders of metaphysics.

……

"Master, this trip to the mine is over. Since there's nothing more for me, Qi Tiezui, to do, I'll take my leave now."

Qi Tiezui was already physically and mentally exhausted.

I have no interest in chatting here.

“Buddha, it’s getting late. My brothers have been greatly affected by the illusion created by the meteorite. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take them back to recuperate before leaving any trouble behind.”

Huo Sanniang and Zhang Qishan went to the mine to investigate.

There are undeniable reasons for that.

Otherwise, Huo Sanniang would never have worked with Zhang Qishan.

There was, after all, a conflict between them.

This trip was quite fruitful; at least the relationship between the Zhang and Huo families has improved considerably.

They also lost a lot, including several trusted confidants.

Huo Sanniang also wanted to handle the aftermath of this trip properly and give an explanation to the old aunts in the clan.

……

"In that case, Iron Mouth and Third Sister, please make yourselves at home."

Zhang Qishan turned to look at Fang Yun.
