The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"Look at the middle of that pool bottom, isn't there a stone tablet standing there?"

The fat man said quickly.

"These steps seem to have been built by the tomb's occupant. I wonder where these steps eventually lead. Perhaps there are other passages. Let's go down and look for them together!"

As he spoke, the fat man leaped onto the steps.

"Don't rush, Fatty. The mist is so thick that we can't see anything inside. Even if we want to go down, we have to wait for the mist to clear up first."

Wu Xie advised.

How could a stubborn guy like Fatty possibly listen to Wu Xie obediently?

He simply waved to Wu Xie.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If it's really difficult to walk, I'll go back."

The fat man walked down the steps for about two laps and seemed to see something.

The fat man squatted down and carefully examined the inner wall of the pool.

"This is truly unbelievable, there are foreign words here."

"The fat man shouted."

"Brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. How could there be anything like foreign writing in this ancient tomb? Take another look. Maybe you've misread the carvings?"

Wu Xie quickly replied.

"Don't underestimate me, kid. Although I don't understand much foreign language, I should be able to recognize a few letters. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself."

The fat man said somewhat angrily.

"In that case, read it to me what's written on it."

Wu Xie said.

"Are you kidding me? If I could understand this, why would I call you down here? Am I the one with nothing better to do, or are you?"

"I can't believe it," the fat man said impatiently.

"It's alright, this is just the outer perimeter, there's no danger. Since that kid told you to go down and take a look, go ahead and do it. I'll cover the rear."

Fang Yun said calmly.

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Wu Xie followed the example of Fatty and jumped.

They jumped onto the stone steps.

Wu Xie carefully stepped on the ground twice.

It seems quite stable, and there shouldn't be any danger of it collapsing.

Behind Wu Xie was Zhang Qi, and behind Zhang Qi was Fang Yun, who was in charge of bringing up the rear.

“Hey bastard, I’m right here. Come here and see if this isn’t written in a foreign language. I, Fatty Wang, will now be surnamed Wu.”

The fat man said with dissatisfaction.

"There really are a few letters carved out here with tools. Judging from the marks, they weren't made by the same people back then. It looks like it was done about twenty or thirty years ago. Could it have been Uncle San's group who came in and carved it? Could their disappearance be related to this pool?"

Wu Xie was puzzled.

"What are you staring at? Tell me quickly, is this a foreign language or not?"

The fat man patted Wu Xie on the shoulder.

"Yes, yes, you're right, Fatty, this really is a foreign language."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

"I knew it! This dilapidated place has been empty for so long, and there's not a single item that I, Fatty, would even consider. Turns out those foreign devils beat us to it. Looks like they didn't leave us with anything good!"

The fat man said with dissatisfaction.

"I need to correct you on this point. Foreign scripts are not the exclusive domain of those foreign devils. You need to think about this from another perspective. If you were a tomb raider, you would have companions. After you arrive, you would need to leave a message for your companions. Wouldn't carving foreign scripts take much less time than carving Chinese scripts?"

"Based on my speculation, these letters should be an abbreviation. You can see from the marks on the carving of these letters that it was done in a very hurry. It must have been done under very tight time constraints, and a few letters were carved on the spot."

Wu Xie explained.

"Hey, what you're saying makes sense. Since their target is down below, could there be some treasure at the bottom of the water?"

The fat man was somewhat excited.

"Wu Xie, look, we still have some time. Why don't we go down and take a look? Maybe we can find some bronze artifacts to use as tools. Wouldn't that be good preparation for our escape?"

The fat man had a big smile on his face.

Even if you told me there were priceless treasures down there, I wouldn't be tempted. You have to understand that it's foolish to earn money but not live to spend it.

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

However, Wu Xie thought again that if he could learn about Wen Jin and the others' experiences back then, it might not be a bad thing.

"No, you can't go down there."

Zhang Qi's tone suddenly turned icy.

"Zhang Qi, we've come this far with great difficulty, and we're so close to the truth. You're telling us to suppress our curiosity and not let us go down? That's inappropriate no matter how you look at it!"

Wu Xie said.

Zhang Qi ignored Wu Xie and Fatty, and turned to look at Fang Yun.

"If those two dare to reveal today's news to outsiders, I will give you an explanation."

Fang Yun said calmly.

Zhang Qi also showed a very helpless expression when he heard Fang Yun say that.

Zhang Qi knew perfectly well that if Fang Yun wanted to go down, he alone couldn't stop him, unless...

"Since Fang Yun said so, I'll trust him this time. After you go down, don't touch or look around carelessly. If anything unexpected happens, I absolutely will not save either of you."

Zhang Qi's tone revealed a hint of helplessness.

Before Fatty and Wu Xie could react, Zhang Qi flipped over and rushed straight into the water.

"Holy crap, that must be at least ten meters high. Is this guy out of his mind?"

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

Wu Xie quickly peeked out and saw that Zhang Qi had already landed steadily on the steps below.

In a few quick steps, they disappeared into the thick mist.

"What are you still standing here for? If there is any danger down there, just leave it to fate. As long as you don't touch anything recklessly, I believe there won't be too much danger, especially for you, Fatty."

Fang Yun said calmly.

After Fang Yun finished speaking, just like Wu Xie, he flipped over and landed steadily on the steps below.

Wu Xie and Fatty saw this and quickly chased after them.

"You two had better keep up with me, because this mist is far more terrifying than thick fog."

Fang Yun gave instructions.

Although Wu Xie and Fatty were both carrying flashlights, they were in a misty environment, and any slow movement would be dangerous.

They couldn't see where Fang Yun was at all.

The two tried their best to keep up, but they still couldn't quite catch up.

It took about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"Wu Xie, we've reached the bottom of the water. Look, Fang Yun is there."

The fat man said quickly.

Hearing the sound of Fatty's feet splashing in the puddles, Wu Xie quickly chased after him.

As soon as I stepped into the water, I felt a chill run down my back.

Wu Xie then realized that he had been unable to see clearly what was happening below.

It turns out that the water wasn't completely drained; some water remained.

The water was at least ankle-deep.

"You two need to be careful where you step. The water was pumped out because there are water holes at the bottom. If you accidentally step in, no one can save you."

Fang Yun's voice suddenly rang out.

Judging from Fang Yun's voice, it seemed to be about ten meters to the left.

Wu Xie carefully shone his flashlight at his feet and discovered that there were many pits of different sizes under his feet.

That must be the puddle Fang Yun was talking about. At that moment, the fat man also came over carrying a lantern.

The two of them groped their way to Fang Yun's location.

"Watch your step and just follow me forward."
