The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"Okay, just wait two minutes!"

"That's what the fat man said excitedly."

Apart from the fat man, everyone else had no interest in the ancient tomb anymore.

This jade figurine is the most valuable item in this ancient tomb, and since the fat man wants to take it away, there's no question about it.

Everyone just watched the fat man operate from the sidelines.

The fat man was anxiously trying to fold up the jade figurine, completely ignoring the foul stench emanating from it.

In the fat man's eyes, the jade figurine was the most valuable thing in the world, and it was true that it could grant immortality.

The value of this jade figurine would be enough to ensure that the fat man's descendants would never have to work hard.

　1.3 Fang Yun's gaze suddenly fixed on the blood corpse's head, which seemed to possess a life of its own.

It began to roll erratically on the jade bed.

It was as if there was something unknown inside this skull.

The fat man was still engrossed in working on his jade figurine.

Wu Xie wanted to take a closer look, but Zhang Qi quickly pulled him back.

"If you want to die, I certainly won't stop you. If you don't want to die, take a few steps back. There's something strange inside this head."

Zhang Qi said in a somewhat panicked manner.

Just as everyone's eyes were on the blood corpse's head.

No one noticed the faint smile that appeared on Fang Yun's lips.

Suddenly, a small worm emerged from the blood corpse's head, and it seemed to be chewing something in its mouth.

Chapter 246 The Corpse Beetle King! A Narrow Escape!

The fat man stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the blood corpse's head.

"Isn't this just a tiny corpse beetle? It scared Fatty half to death. I'll kill it."

As he spoke, the fat man grabbed a crowbar from the side and was about to smash it down on the blood corpse's head.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Yun suddenly appeared in front of the fat man and kicked him to the ground.

"We should have had Zhang Qi kill you just now. Keeping you around is really a menace."

Fang Yun said coldly.

"What are you doing? I just killed a corpse beetle, why did you kick me so hard? Are you really trying to kill me?"

The fat man rubbed his chest; the kick had indeed been quite forceful.

"This is not the little corpse beetle you mentioned, but the Corpse Beetle King. Look at its appearance, it is entirely blood red, extremely small in size, and it crawled out from this blood corpse. Based on this, it must be the Corpse Beetle King without a doubt. The appearance of the Corpse Beetle King here means that the Corpse Beetle swarm will appear immediately. I can't control this Corpse Beetle King at all, let's go quickly."

Zhang Qi roared.

Upon hearing Zhang Qi's words, everyone panicked.

At that moment, the little red corpse beetle suddenly made a strange sound.

It spread its wings and flew towards the crowd as if it had caught new prey.

"Do not kill this corpse beetle king. If its blood comes into contact with a person, it will kill them instantly and attract an endless swarm of corpse beetles to hunt them down. Follow the vines and get out of here quickly."

As Zhang Qi spoke, he leaped up.

The only sound that could be heard in the huge cave was the buzzing of the small, blood-red corpse beetle.

"Is that all the courage you have? Look around, nothing's happened. Maybe the young man misjudged us, or maybe he just doesn't want us to leave here with these treasures and enjoy wealth and luxury. If you ask me..."

The fat man was still delivering his long speech.

It seems like he wanted to show off how awesome he was.

However, before the fat man could finish speaking...

The once quiet cave suddenly became noisy.

Countless rustling sounds rang out from all directions, sounds that sent chills down one's spine.

Just as everyone shone their flashlights onto the surrounding walls.

Countless blue carrion beetles crawled out of the caves of all sizes on the rock face.

The swarm of corpse beetles swept in like a tidal wave, inspiring awe and fear.

The fat man's scalp tingled at the sight.

He turned around and wanted to pick up the box made of purple jade.

"You brat, don't you value your life?"

Uncle Wu scolded.

The fat man looked at the purple jade box so close to his eyes. Despite feeling utterly helpless, he could only put the gold-inlaid silk into his pocket.

They climbed up the vines together.

……

"The Corpse Beetle King, there really is a Corpse Beetle King in this ancient tomb. It was worth the trip."

Fang Yun muttered to himself.

While everyone was frantically climbing the vines in their panic, Fang Yun squeezed his hands together.

He gently lifted the blood-red little corpse beetle and placed it into the jade tube he carried with him.

With a flick of his wrist, the jade slip vanished without a trace.

Fang Yun looked at the surging corpse beetles around him, but he was not flustered at all.

Not to mention the swarm of corpse beetles that was like a tide, even if the swarm of corpse beetles filled the entire ancient tomb.

In Fang Yun's eyes, they were not much different from ants.

Even if Fang Yun stood still, he only needed to gently release a trace of the Qilin bloodline within him.

None of these corpse beetles dared to approach Fang Yun even a step.

Fang Yun, a cunning old fox who had lived for hundreds of years, did not want to expose all his secrets.

The time to show off your skills has already passed; now going with the flow is the right choice.

Fang Yun then leaped up onto the vines and followed the others toward the crack.

……

This towering tree is covered with numerous vines, and there are many protruding parts.

Even an ordinary person can easily climb up the vines.

Not to mention those who frequently raid tombs, their crawling speed is faster than the last.

Only Wu Xie was slightly slower.

However, when Wu Xie looked down, he saw that the area under the tree was already surrounded by a swarm of corpse beetles.

If someone with trypophobia saw this, they would probably faint on the spot.

The area beneath the tree resembled a blue ocean, and Wu Xie knew in his heart that if he accidentally fell in...

That would inevitably result in nothing but bones being left behind.

So Wu Xie and the others sped up their climb.

However, these corpse beetles crawled much faster than Wu Xie and his companions.

In less than three seconds, these corpse beetles had crawled to Wu Xie's feet.

Wu Xie suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf. Looking down, he saw a corpse beetle crawling onto his leg and biting him.

Fortunately, I was wearing jeans, so the corpse beetle bite wasn't too deep.

Wu Xie kicked the corpse beetle off his leg a few times haphazardly.

Just as Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, a second and then a third corpse beetle swarmed in.

It's like they won't stop until they've completely devoured Wu Xie.

"Bombs, there were a few bombs at Yutai before."

Uncle Wu shouted immediately.

He hurriedly looked down, only to see a blue ocean below.

They couldn't find the explosive charge at all.

　597 Just then, Wu Xie suddenly remembered that his third uncle had picked up the gun in the tomb in his backpack.

He quickly put his hands behind his back and took out the gun from his backpack.

He fired several shots at the jade platform.

Even with the light from the sparks, the approximate location of the explosive charge could be barely seen.
