The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"So you believe everything I, Fatty, say? Those rich people just find their relatives' children to be buried with them."

The fat man said with dissatisfaction.

"Grandpa is right. People's hearts are unpredictable. For something that has no basis whatsoever, these people's lives are as worthless as grass."

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

"These people are really pitiful. Why don't we go over there and grab a few jars to scoop out the water?"

The fat man said.

"Alright, everyone knows what you're thinking, Fatty. You're still eyeing those artifacts. I advise you to stop thinking about it. Getting out of here is the most important thing."

Wu Xie said irritably.

"You're all wrong. There's actually only one person here."

Fang Yun said calmly.

"Take a close look at their heads and see what the differences are."

Fang Yun said.

Wu Xie and Fatty looked at each other, and Wu Xie shook his head.

"Calm down and look carefully, don't pay attention to those dirty things."

Fang Yun said.

This time, Wu Xie took a good look.

It turns out that apart from the topmost one, which appears to be a head, the other parts of the body seem to lack facial features.

Moreover, these things look like a huge tumor growing on it.

Wu Xie quickly looked at the so-called hand joints, which seemed to be connected to a torso.

However, the torso was twisted so badly that it looked like a pretzel.

In addition, the black water obstructed people's vision, making it look as if many corpses had been forcibly twisted together.

"If the person lying in the coffin is indeed a strangely shaped monster, then his origins and identity are truly puzzling."

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

"This thing isn't a person at all; it's clearly an insect."

"The fat man shouted."

"It's too early to draw conclusions now. The black water is obstructing our vision, so we can't see anything at all. If it were a deformed child born in that era, it would have been killed by its parents at birth and would never have had the chance to grow up like this."

Wu Xie said.

"uncertain."

Zhang Qi said calmly.

"So, we have to do as I say. Let's go next door and find a few containers to scoop out all the black water from this coffin. Once the black water is scooped out, we can see everything clearly. Besides, I just observed that there are some things carved on the walls of this coffin."

"If we could see the things on it more clearly, we might be able to explain the origin of this tomb."

The fat man said with a smile.

Wu Xie found Fatty's words to be quite reasonable.

This kind of thing is naturally not something Fang Yun and Zhang Qi can do.

Wu Xie and Fatty turned around and went into the terracotta warrior passage, where they randomly picked out three porcelain bowls.

These items would be worth at least a million if they were sold elsewhere.

But in Wu Xie's hands, there was no difference.

Because Wu Xie didn't know what these things were called.

Wu Xie subconsciously glanced at the surface of the porcelain bowl; the patterns on it resembled storytelling illustrations.

Previously, when we entered the ancient tomb, we didn't have much interest in studying these things.

Now that I have more free time, I can observe these previously unnoticed details more carefully.

Wu Xie picked up the porcelain bowl and carefully examined the patterns on it, trying to find some key clues.

Chapter 274 A colossal project!

Thinking of this, Wu Xie quickly grabbed a few more porcelain bowls, and just as he had guessed, they were all covered with paintings.

The story depicted in these paintings is probably about a group of people building a civil engineering project.

Some people repaired stones, some transported logs, and others built wooden beams.

Wu Xie examined the arrangement of the porcelain pieces more closely, and what he saw left him dumbfounded.

It turns out that the order in which the porcelain was arranged corresponds to the order in which the project progressed!

Suddenly, a terrifying thought popped into Wu Xie's mind, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.

"Hey kid, why are you dawdling like this? It's just picking out a couple of suitable jars or containers, why are you acting like you're choosing a partner? Don't you like any of these porcelain jars?"

The fat man's words were full of sarcasm and impatience.

Wu Xie couldn't hear what Fatty was saying at all; he was completely absorbed in these unbelievable paintings.

Until Wu Xie saw the last piece of porcelain, an octagonal bottle with a design depicting a giant gate.

All the clues end here.

There were no other porcelain pieces left. Wu Xie was now drenched in cold sweat.

"Although these are just a few simple paintings, and we can't get any very crucial information from them, especially since we can't tell what these people are building, according to the descriptions in the paintings, this project is at least as big as the Forbidden City, or even bigger. Who is the mastermind behind such a massive project?"

"It's easy to see from a rough perspective that the structure depicted in this painting is definitely not in the style of the Central Plains. Where in China could there be such a magnificent building? It's really hard to understand."

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

Wu Xie was about to tell the fat man behind him about his discovery when he turned around and found that the fat man had vanished into thin air!

"That unreliable fat guy, even if he was going to leave, he should at least have told me. He just left me here alone and ran off without saying a word."

Wu Xie cursed inwardly.

With no other option, Wu Xie picked up a piece of porcelain nearby as a temporary weapon for self-defense and ran towards the opposite side room with a flashlight in hand.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xie was startled as soon as he entered the terracotta warrior passage.

Where is the original door leading to the side chamber in this passageway? All that comes into view is a wall made of white marble.

"This is bad. Although I understand how the mechanism works, it's spinning way too fast. If I stay where I am, I can wait for the mechanism to activate again and turn the door back around. But this place is just too scary."

Wu Xie couldn't help but think.

The passageway was eerily quiet; Wu Xie could clearly hear his own heartbeat, one after another.

Wu Xie experienced firsthand the meaning of the Chinese idiom "a day feels like a year."

Wu Xie could only listen to his own heartbeat; every second was torture for him.

"No, if I stay here any longer, I'm afraid I'll go crazy first. I should go back and look at the porcelain from earlier. I don't know why, but I have a feeling that there is truth in that porcelain, something I want to know."

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

Wu Xie walked out of the terracotta warrior passage and returned to the tomb chamber he had just left, preparing to examine the porcelain again.

Suddenly, a chilling scream came from the side chamber, and Wu Xie was instantly terrified and at a loss for what to do.

With a tremor of his hand, the flashlight beam shone precisely on the spring, revealing a scaly monster crawling up.

"Why is it this thing again!"

Wu Xie cursed inwardly.

This monster was none other than the sea monkey that Wu Xie had seen before.

Wu Xie didn't care about anything else at the moment and ran towards the terracotta warrior passage. Now was not the time to worry about whether there were any traps in the passage.

These sea monkeys, let alone fighting power, could scare Wu Xie to death.

Wu Xie saw that the end of the terracotta warrior passage was just ahead, and he sighed inwardly that his life was not long to come!

"You're still as good at running as ever. This time you just ran off with Fatty. Wasn't the lesson from the Lu Shang King's Tomb enough?"

To Wu Xie, the voice was heavenly; it was the voice of a powerful figure!

"Go back to where you came from, I don't want to kill people here."

Fang Yun said calmly.

The sea monkey, which had initially looked fierce and menacing, unexpectedly turned tail and ran away as soon as it saw Fang Yun.

Even the sea monkeys didn't dare to roar, which allowed Fang Yun to calm his bloodline aura.

"Boss Fang Yun, how did you know I was in danger? Just now, I discovered something and was about to tell that fat guy, but he disappeared."

Wu Xie stammered.

He looked terrified.
