The Unorthodox Tomb Raider
Page 227
Furthermore, if there really were rice dumplings released from the large porcelain jar, given everyone's current physical strength, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they wanted to.
"Wu Xie, what do you suggest we do now? We're underwater. Even if there's air in the tomb, it'll be used up quickly with so many of us. If we stay here too long, we might not even be able to breathe. How about this, we go around to the side, and if the thing in that jar tries to stop us again, we'll go up and shoot it twice."
The fat man said.
After a brief discussion, the group concluded that what the fat man said made no sense.
So the fat guy took the lead, holding an air gun and aiming it at the can.
The group tiptoed toward the entrance of the terracotta warrior passage.
With a gurgling sound, the jar suddenly started spinning, drawing an arc on the ground as it rolled directly towards the terracotta warrior passage.
There was a loud thud, presumably the large porcelain jar had bumped into something in the terracotta warrior passage.
The group followed without stopping, and the tunnel was pitch black.
The group shone their flashlights around and discovered that it was a straight terracotta warrior built of white marble bricks.
The straight terracotta figures are very simple.
There are two ditches on the ground, and lamp holders are placed every few meters in the ditches.
Wu Xie shone his flashlight toward the end of the terracotta warrior passage, wanting to see what was at the end of it.
At the other end of the terracotta warrior passage, there was a jade gate, and on the left and right sides, there was also a slightly smaller gate.
What's strange is that all these doors were open, as if someone had gone in.
The large porcelain jar had stopped moving in the middle of the small door on the left.
"Don't you guys think there's something eerie about this? That big porcelain jar is like it's leading us the way. Could it be that it's not filled with rice dumplings but with ghosts?"
Wu Xie said tremblingly.
"Although I don't really believe in ghost stories, the way it looks now definitely exudes an eerie aura. The jar really does seem to be deliberately guiding us in the right direction, which makes it all the more suspicious."
The fat man echoed.
At this moment, Wu Xie observed Zhang Qi's expression.
It was unclear whether the expression on Zhang Qi's face was nervousness or fear.
Compared to Fang Yun, Wu Xie's curiosity about Zhang Qi was even more intense.
"Since this strange jar is guiding us, we might as well follow its direction. We'll be doing the same thing whether we go forward or retreat, so why hesitate here? If we stay here any longer, we might suffocate before we even find the main tomb chamber."
Wu Xie said helplessly.

"Based on my experience, this kind of place definitely has some kind of traps or mechanisms. Brother Wu, could you try to find out where they are?"
The fat man said.
Wu Xie looked at Fang Yun with a pleading expression.
"Wu Xie, come here."
Fang Yun said calmly.
Fang Yun whispered a few words in Wu Xie's ear, and Wu Xie nodded as if he understood.
"The ground of this terracotta warrior passage is basically made up of small stone slabs. There is a high possibility that there are crossbow traps installed here. Although some people may have already been inside, there is a possibility that some traps have not been destroyed. Therefore, everyone must walk close to the wall. To minimize the danger, we should walk along the edge of the ditch."
Wu Xie said.
With that, Wu Xie went to the front and took the lead.
Although Fang Yun had already given Wu Xie instructions, this was, after all, his first attempt.
Wu Xie wasn't sure how much force or speed he used when he kicked.
Fang Yun only gave Wu Xie a general idea of how to get through the passage.
They even let Wu Xie try it out boldly.
This time, Wu Xie's heart was in his throat. He walked a dozen steps ahead with a feeling of unease.
Just a dozen or so steps had already made Wu Xie break out in a cold sweat, his face filled with tension.
Those behind him could also see Wu Xie's nervousness, and a tense atmosphere spread through the passageway.
"Old Wu, if our journey is going to be difficult, let's stop here and rest for a while, and not tire ourselves out."
"I can't believe it," the fat man said in a panic.

"Don't talk, okay? If I get even a little distracted, I might step on the wrong thing."
Wu Xie hadn't finished speaking.

Wu Xie felt a tremor beneath his feet and turned around to see that a rock had sunk into A Ning's feet.
Ah Ning looked at Wu Xie with a fearful expression.
"After finally making it this far, we've run into trouble. Looks like we're doomed today."
Wu Xie sighed inwardly.
A crossbow bolt whistled past, flying past Wu Xie's ear, its target being—A Ning.
Before Wu Xie could react, the second arrow flew out, heading straight for A Ning's chest.
In that split second, Ah Ning's eyes changed, no longer showing the fear and weakness she had before.
Ah Ning turned around like lightning, flicked her wrist, and stopped the arrow in mid-air with a single grasp.
The movement happened in less than the blink of an eye; Wu Xie couldn't even see A Ning's movements clearly!
"Quickly, get down here; there are hidden crossbows."
Wu Xie felt the ground shaking again and quickly shouted to the others.
Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen beams of white light shot towards the group, and Wu Xie quickly ducked to avoid one of them.
Just then, something covered in white fur crawled out of a jar in the distance.
They slipped into the stone door on the left with lightning speed.
Wu Xie suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he found that he had been hit by two arrows without even realizing it.
"This is terrible. I'm really going to die in an ancient tomb whose name I don't even know. If I die in this tomb, my body will probably decompose completely before anyone even knows. This is really too tragic."
Wu Xie felt a pang of despair.
The arrows that suddenly shot out were like a rainstorm, dense and extremely fast.
Ordinary people have no way to dodge it; the fat man simply picked up his backpack and used it as a shield.
He instantly rushed in front of the crowd, shielding them from the rain of arrows.
Wu Xie suddenly noticed the fat man's back and gasped in shock. It turned out that there were more than a dozen arrows stuck in the fat man's back.
They were so densely packed together, like an incense burner filled with sticks of incense. Judging by their appearance, they were probably going to die in this ancient tomb.
Wu Xie was puzzled as to why the fat man seemed to feel no pain.
Just then, someone suddenly grabbed Wu Xie's clothes, and Wu Xie sensed that something was very wrong.
Looking up, he saw it was Ah Ning, whom he had saved before.
Wu Xie's gaze towards A Ning was terrifyingly cold, and he quickly and forcefully flung her away.
When A Ning saw that Wu Xie wanted to break free from her restraints, she showed no mercy whatsoever.
He delivered a powerful knee strike to Wu Xie's lower back, a blow that hurt even more than the two arrows he had been shot with earlier.
When someone is hit hard in the waist, the pain can make them unable to exert any strength for a moment.
Without saying a word, A Ning grabbed Wu Xie and headed towards the large jade gate in the middle.
Just then, Wu Xie felt a gust of wind whistling past his ear.
A scream was heard.
Wu Xie finally managed to raise his head and saw that it was Fang Yun standing in front of him.
Fang Yun grabbed A Ning by the neck.
Ah Ning looked and saw that the shield in her hand was gone.
Having been controlled by Fang Yun again, he hardened his heart and kicked Fang Yun.
Fang Yun easily dodged A Ning's flying kick by simply turning to the side.
Fang Yun swung the child forcefully, sending A Ning flying more than ten meters away.
Unexpectedly, Ah Ning was able to forcibly change her posture in mid-air, although she couldn't completely dodge those hidden arrows.
But he was only hit by a few arrows.
Taking advantage of the force Fang Yun had thrown, A Ning seized the opportunity to push off the ground and quickly flipped to safety.
Ah Ning painfully pulled the arrow out of her body and glared coldly at Fang Yun.
