The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Wu Xie looked closely and realized that it was a corner, and Fatty had grabbed them.

At this moment, everyone was breathing in oxygen in large gulps.

If this were on land, the sound of everyone's heartbeats would probably echo throughout the entire tomb passage.

Wu Xie calmed himself down first and looked around the corner.

The tomb passage behind was filled with hair, so densely packed that it completely filled the passage the group had just walked through.

This made Wu Xie feel a little nauseous. Who wouldn't feel uneasy looking at so much hair?

The fat man seemed to mutter a few words, and a few bubbles appeared on his respirator.

Wu Xie saw Fatty pick up the air gun, turned around and fired a bullet at him.

The fat guy originally thought that this bullet would be useful, but he didn't expect that the bullet would be absorbed into his hair as soon as it touched it.

The hair seemed to have a mind of its own, subconsciously receding slightly.

It was as if someone had eaten something dirty and was about to vomit; after a few swells, the fat man raised his gun again.

Look at that clump of jet-black hair, and then a dead person vomits out from within that hair.

The fat man shone a light on the dead body and took a look at the situation. The dead man was wearing a diving suit.

Hair was growing out of his nose and ears, and upon closer inspection, the fat man noticed that his eyes seemed to be filled with hair.

This person definitely died of suffocation.

Before anyone could react, the fat man had already run seven or eight meters away and was waving his fist at the person.

Wu Xie cursed inwardly, thinking that this fat guy was completely unreliable.

Wu Xie and the others quickly fled to a safe area.

Wu Xie went up and kicked Fatty, almost knocking him to the ground.

It means that the fat guy was very inconsiderate, abandoning them and running away first.

The fat man, not to be outdone, thought that Wu Xie and the others were too slow to react and wanted to go up and spar with Wu Xie.

Just then, Ah Ning stopped the two of them in time.

He gestured for everyone to leave this dangerous place first, and that any outstanding issues could be settled later.

"I remember when Third Uncle was rescued, he was clutching a lock of hair in his hand. Could it be the same lock of hair we just saw? Could that corpse have died in the tomb with Third Uncle?"

Wu Xie was filled with doubt.

“I just checked the time, and we’ve been here for about half an hour. Based on the current amount of oxygen we have left, we can only stay here for another ten minutes or so before the oxygen in the cylinders runs out.”

Aning quickly wrote on the drawing board.

The group then realized that they had been in the tomb passage for far too long.

Everyone glanced at their oxygen gauges and saw that their oxygen levels were indeed low.

Just as everyone was feeling down and thinking about leaving, Zhang Qi suddenly rushed out.

"Could it be that he discovered some clues? If the guess is true, he and Third Uncle went down into this ancient tomb in the water together that year. If that's the case, then this matter is too suspicious."

Wu Xie thought to himself.

"That fatso will stay at the back. You all follow me. Remember, don't wander off or provoke anything."

Zhang Qi quickly wrote on the drawing board.

The fat man looked extremely embarrassed and resentful.

But there was nothing they could do; judging from the fat man's behavior just now, everyone already looked down on him.

I don't want to trust the fat guy anymore.

Zhang Qi suddenly swam several meters backward and pointed to a recessed tomb wall.

"This sunken tomb wall is probably caused by the fat man kicking wildly in his panic. As for the fact that it is indeed the end of the long corridor, if I'm not mistaken, the mechanism that Uncle Three mentioned should be in this corridor. However, once this mechanism is activated, the water in the tomb passage will be instantly sucked in, generating an extremely strong suction force."

"My third uncle was wearing a helmet at the time, so he wasn't injured. But looking at the equipment we have now, it's probably still a bit dangerous to go down there."

Wu Xie thought to himself.

Wu Xie glanced back subconsciously and found that the clump of hair was not following them.

I was just about to turn around and remind everyone of the impact of this mechanism.

As it turned out, that fat guy was so impulsive that he just pressed it.

First, a large number of bubbles burst out, making everyone lose their sense of direction, and then a huge suction force was generated instantly.

Wu Xie then experienced firsthand the feeling his third uncle had described—that his internal organs were almost out of place.

Wu Xie didn't know how much time had passed when he groggily woke up, feeling pain emanating from his body.

Wu Xie twisted his neck and found that it wasn't broken, so he quickly took a few breaths.

Wu Xie was slightly relieved to find that the breathing device was still in his mouth.

At this moment, Wu Xie cursed Fatty even more fiercely in his heart.

After all, if there had been some prior preparation, things wouldn't have ended up like this. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

Otherwise, Wu Xie would have an urge to pin Fatty to the ground and beat him up.

Wu Xie searched everywhere for the fat man, only to find him spinning around in place like a ballerina.

The fat man was the one who pressed the mechanism, and since he was closest to the door, he naturally experienced the strongest suction force among everyone.

Wu Xie began to look around and discovered that the walls were all made of the finest white marble, which could be described as extremely luxurious.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the ancient tomb that Uncle San mentioned. If the spring is here, it means that we are currently in the side chamber."

Before Wu Xie could continue thinking about what would happen next, everyone else also woke up in a daze.

Seeing that everyone had regained their senses, Wu Xie made a gesture of swimming upwards and then pushed off with his feet.

In less than a minute, everyone surfaced.

The first thing everyone did was remove the breathing apparatus from their mouths and breathe in the air inside the tomb.

"Which damned old thief designed such a trap? It almost made me bleed from all seven orifices and die from vomiting blood."

"I can't breathe," the fat man said.

The murals surrounding the tomb chamber were so decayed that it was impossible to make out what they originally depicted.

It's likely that the tomb was opened once, causing a large influx of air, which accelerated the corrosion of these murals.

Although the murals have been corroded and are no longer clearly visible, the reliefs still evoke certain associations.

Wu Xie, in particular, is quite sensitive to this aspect.

Looking at these reliefs, Wu Xie concluded that the owners of these tombs must have been cultivators.

Ah Ning looked down and saw some messy footprints on the ground, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"Could these footprints have been left by the tomb raiders from tomb 613? Could it be that the tomb has been looted clean by the tomb raiders?"

Ah Ning said somewhat flusteredly.

Suddenly, Ah Ning stared intently at a footprint as if she had discovered a new continent, looking as if she had seen a ghost.

Wu Xie followed A Ning's gaze and looked down at the ground.

Among a pile of messy footprints, one extremely small footprint can be clearly seen, as if it were left by a child.

"These footprints...could they be left by a child? Why are there only those who left, and none who returned..."

Ah Ning looked even more flustered than before, and even a little scared.

Wu Xie shone his flashlight in the direction of the footprints and saw a large porcelain jar.

There does seem to be something there.

The footprints on the ground had dried up for far too long to be identified as being from any particular era.

However, based on the size of the footprints, it can be determined that the child who left the marks is at most around three years old.

Wu Xie felt nauseous at the thought.

Wu Xie thought it was unlikely that a tomb raider would be so perverse as to take such a young child to a tomb to raid it.

How twisted must someone be to do something like that?

The more Wu Xie thought about it, the more he felt like he was going to vomit.

"However, there is another possibility: the owner of these footprints is a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling)."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

The fat man also recovered his senses after a while. Seeing Wu Xie and A Ning chatting with great interest, he came over to see what was going on.

"I say, you two still have time to chat here. Regardless of whether these footprints belong to a big child or a small child, that's secondary. The problem is that the appearance of these footprints in the tomb is already extremely abnormal. Wu Xie, look at these footprints, there seems to be a layer of yellowish material on them, like the wax after a candle has burned. What do you think this is?"
