The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Seeing this scene, Wen Jin's anger flared up instantly.

"You all stay where you are and don't run around or touch anything. I'll handle things here."

Wen Jin quickly gave instructions to the group.

Several minutes later, the dark figure remained motionless, lurking in the thick mist.

At this moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

At this moment, only that silly woman, Huo Ling, foolishly called out "Zhang Qi".

"Xiao Zhang, what are you still doing squatting there? Come here right now!"

This shout startled Wen Jin, who quickly covered Huo Ling's mouth.

From this position, Zhang Qi is the closest to that dark figure.

If any unexpected situation arises, Zhang Qi is very likely to be the first to suffer an accident.

At this moment, only Wen Jin was completely clear-headed.

In such a critical situation, the responsibility that Wen Jin, as the person in charge, has to shoulder is even greater.

Wen Jin carefully tried to recall the details of the underwater tomb.

This underwater tomb is located near the Xisha Islands, and although it is an ancient tomb at the bottom of the water.

However, this sea area has rarely been disturbed by people, so the surrounding ley lines and other conditions have been preserved very well.

Based on what I learned from my third uncle, this should be a relatively rare underwater dragon vein.

A feng shui arrangement of this caliber would never produce anything like a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling).

Wen Jin breathed a sigh of relief upon thinking about this, after all, as long as it wasn't a zongzi or anything else.

Even if someone was two or three meters tall, Wen Jin believed she could handle it.

"Sister Wenjin, if I remember correctly, there used to be a stone monkey where that dark figure was. Could something have been perched on the stone monkey, making it look so terrifying?"

One of the men in the group offered his idea.

"Before, only Third Uncle was missing. Maybe he was angry that everyone didn't follow his orders, so he stood on the stone monkey to scare them. But this guy's joke went a bit too far."

Wen Jin suddenly realized that the dark figure was very likely her third uncle.

"Wu Sansheng, stop joking like that. Get back to your unit right now."

Wen Jin shouted.

Wen Jin knew that if the stone monkey was indeed her third uncle, her roar would surely reveal his true form.

However, things did not develop as Wenjin had imagined.

The shadowy figure on the stone statue, just after Wen Jin finished shouting, suddenly made a gesture, as if signaling everyone to be quiet.

Wen Jin was furious when she saw this scene; she had already been holding back her anger at Zhang Qi.

Seeing his third uncle still fooling everyone up there, he took out all his anger on him.

Wen Jin rushed forward and tried to grab the ear of the person squatting on the stone monkey.

This is Wenjin's last trump card against her third uncle.

Wenjin had made an agreement with her third uncle.

If Wenjin is very angry, there's no need to argue.

As soon as Wen Jin pinched her third uncle's ear, he knew things were very serious and naturally wouldn't continue joking.

However, to Wen Jin's surprise, before she could even make a move, the person squatting on the rock grabbed her wrist.

"I am Zhang Qi. Don't say anything, just keep reading."

Wen Jin immediately recognized Zhang Qi's voice. She was still looking at Zhang Qi with a puzzled expression.

Suddenly, Wen Jin had a change of heart. What if it was Zhang Qi squatting on the stone monkey?

So who was it that was staring intently at the stone tablet just now?

Wen Jin felt a chill run down her spine at the thought.

Wenjing cautiously peeked out and saw that there was a person squatting in front of the stone tablet.

He was wearing the same diving suits as them, and upon closer inspection, the man's physique was nine-tenths similar to his third uncle's.

At this time, her third uncle seemed a bit strange, though Wen Jin couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

Just as Wen Jin was wondering.

My third uncle somehow produced a comb and started combing his hair in front of the stone tablet.

Seeing that scene was like seeing a woman getting ready in front of a mirror.

The movements looked incredibly awkward in Uncle San's hands.

Third Uncle combed his hair for a while and then turned to look at his own face, dressing himself up like a young woman who had never left her maiden home.

The reflection of Uncle Three's face in the stone tablet was particularly sinister and eerie, sending chills down one's spine.

Normally, Wen Jin would have burst out laughing.

But now, in this secondary setting, Wen Jin couldn't help but feel a sense of eeriness and gloom from the bottom of her heart.

Those traveling with them saw the two people hugging on the stone monkey and felt that there was nothing more to it.

In their group, only Uncle San and Wen Jin had some connection.

However, an accident occurred at that moment.

Huo Ling might be overly worried about Zhang Qi, or perhaps the information she just received was somewhat inaccurate.

She also thought that the person on the stone monkey statue was her third uncle.

So he quickly ran towards the stone tablet and patted his third uncle, who was squatting in front of it, on the shoulder.

"Xiao Zhang, what are you still doing squatting here? Get out of here."

This truly took everyone by surprise. (Wang Lehao)

Zhang Qi didn't have time to stop Huo Ling's actions and cursed inwardly.

The person in front of the stone tablet suddenly stood up and turned to look at Huo Ling, which startled Huo Ling.

Fortunately, Huo Ling was quite bold. When she saw that the person who stood up was her third uncle, she immediately spoke up.

"Wu Sansheng, are you crazy? What are you doing squatting here?"

Third Uncle saw Huo Ling scream and shoved her aside, running downhill.

Seeing this, Zhang Qi quickly jumped off the stone monkey and chased after it.

While chasing, he only glanced at Huo Ling briefly to see if she had suffered any serious injuries.

Unexpectedly, this glance made Huo Ling think that Zhang Qi was about to run towards her.

He opened his arms and ran towards Zhang Qi, but in just a few seconds, Zhang Qi lost the initiative.

Zhang Qi quickly crawled under Huo Ling's outstretched arms.

"Keep an eye on the stone steps; we must not let him get past them."

Zhang Qi quickly called out.

Unexpectedly, Uncle San swayed slightly, as if he had simply crawled through the wall.

However, the mist was so thick that Zhang Qi couldn't immediately determine how his third uncle had gotten across.

Zhang Qi didn't really believe in those ghost stories, but when he ran over and touched the stone wall...

The feedback from his fingers told Zhang Qi that this was a real stone wall, impossible to cross.

Zhang Qi began to feel around on the stone wall again.

Suddenly, Zhang Qi sensed a slight movement in the stone wall.

"I never expected there would be a mechanism here. But then again, if this really is Wang Zanghai's tomb, the things he created with his ingenious skills cannot be judged by my own experience. In the tombs created by Wang Zanghai, my own experience is as naive as a child's thinking."

Zhang Qi thought to himself.

Two minutes passed.

"What is this mechanism for? Two minutes have passed. If it really is a mechanism, two minutes should be enough time for it to change. But it's as if there's no mechanism at all. What is Wang Zanghai thinking? Is he just trying to make his ancient tomb more interesting?"

Zhang Qi cursed inwardly.

Zhang Qi also explained the mechanisms and secret passages to everyone, as he was very familiar with mechanisms from all eras, from ancient times to the present.

They can even accurately state the name of the person who created the mechanism and the principles behind it.

According to Zhang Qi's own understanding, the principle behind such a mechanism must be extremely simple.

The more complex the principles behind a mechanism, the less likely it is to withstand the test of time.

Some simple and crude mechanisms, on the other hand, do not suffer much wear and tear over time.
