The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

And so the group crawled along the right side of the fork in the road.

Suddenly Fang Yun stopped, as if he had discovered something.

The others followed Fang Yun and stopped. At this moment, the surroundings were completely silent.

Wu Xie could even hear his own heartbeat.

However, at that moment, Wu Xie suddenly heard something passing by above him.

"Could it be that woman from before, A Ning, or my third uncle...?"

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

Just as Wu Xie was thinking this, he suddenly felt an itch on the back of his neck.

Wu Xie wondered to himself if he would grow white hair on his neck too!

He quickly grabbed his neck with his hand, only to find a sticky clump there.

Wu Xie thought it was that fat guy approaching, so he shoved him away.

After Wu Xie pulled his hand back, he found that his fingers were sticky and had a faint fragrance.

Wu Xie disgustedly wiped the sticky fluid from his fingers onto the wall of the passage.

Wu Xie initially thought it was hair oil from Fatty's hair, but then remembered that he had mentioned before that Fatty probably hadn't showered for months.

Wu Xie almost vomited when he thought about this.

As Wu Xie was thinking, his neck suddenly started itching again, and the lump seemed to be getting closer to him again.

Wu Xie felt a surge of anger rising within him, and he grabbed the object in one swift motion.

The moment Wu Xie picked it up, his heart felt like it had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

The thing was very small, very light, and felt very much like hair to the touch.

Only then did Wu Xie realize that those things were not Fatty at all; Fatty didn't have that much hair.

Wu Xie remembered the man-eating hair he had seen when he first entered the underwater tomb.

Thinking of this, Wu Xie didn't dare to breathe, let alone pick up a flashlight to see what it was.

As Wu Xuesheng thought about that slender hand, it had already touched Wu Xie's face, gently tracing Wu Xie's cheek with its fingernail. This touch lasted only for a fleeting moment.

Then the hand withdrew, and suddenly Wu Xie felt as if a wet human head was pressed against his face.

"who are you?"

Wu Xie inexplicably heard a woman's voice in his mind.

Just then, Wu Xie suddenly felt a hard slap across his face.

Wu Xie suddenly looked up and realized that the person who slapped him was Fang Yun.

"You almost fell for a trap just now. What were you thinking about while you were standing there?"

Fang Yun said calmly.

“I...I just saw a female ghost.”

Wu Xie said in a panic.

"I... I didn't feel anything. You probably just had a dream. It's okay. Everyone has dreams when they're young, right? I was one of them back in the day..."

The fat man was speaking when Wu Xie interrupted him.

"I was definitely not dreaming just now. If you don't believe me, look at the back of my neck."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

After seeing this, everyone felt a little strange.

"You're probably dreaming, kid. If you don't believe me, look at my back. There's absolutely nothing there."

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

As the fat man turned around, there really was something lying behind him.

The thing was only a hand's width away from Wu Xie.

Fortunately, Zhang Qi reacted quickly and pulled Wu Xie over.

However, Fatty (Wang Hao) was not so lucky; he was entangled like a pupa.

"Don't panic. Take out anything you have that you can ignite. The Forbidden Woman was born from water, and she is afraid of fire."

Fang Yun quickly replied.

Fortunately, during the meal on the boat earlier...

Wu Xie asked the boatman for a windproof and waterproof lighter, and Zhang Qi also took out his own tinderbox.

The moment this thing was lit, the hair recoiled several steps.

The two of them held the fire source in their hands close to the hair, and the hair kept retreating.

Wu Xie remained relatively calm at this point, focusing first on freeing the fat man's head.

To avoid being entangled and suffocated, the hair was completely removed in a short while.

The fat man's face was flushed red at this moment, and he took a few breaths the instant he was exposed.

The man coughed up some kind of black stuff.

Chapter 288 Fang Yun's Strength!

"What the hell was that thing? It almost killed me!"

"I'm so annoyed," the fat man said.

"I think I just heard Fang Yun say that thing is called a forbidden woman."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

"I still don't quite understand how this thing came to be, but what I do know is that this Forbidden Woman is a creature born from water. It is extremely afraid of fire, which is why you were able to make it retreat with fire earlier. However, it's not time to relax yet. This is in an ancient tomb. If you want to deal with it, you'll have to go to land. Be on high alert. It's probably still behind you, waiting for an opportunity to strike."

Fang Yun said calmly.

"This is truly baffling. Logically speaking, the feng shui of this ancient tomb is excellent, and it would be difficult to find several ancient tombs in the world that can compare with it. Why would so many strange and unusual things appear here?"

The fat man asked doubtfully.

"Based on our previous experiences, it is very likely that this creature was deliberately placed by the tomb owner, just like the drought monster that you and Brother Zhang Qi saw in that tomb chamber before. I feel that this was all intentionally done by the tomb owner."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

Amidst this tense and eerie atmosphere, the group continued crawling forward.

Wu Xie gripped the lighter tightly in his hand, afraid that the Forbidden Woman would come and entangle him again.

Before an incense stick had even burned, Fang Yun suddenly stopped at 630.

"It seems we've gone in the wrong direction; this is a dead end."

Fang Yun sighed.

Suddenly, the bricks above Fang Yun's head began to shake.

Then the brick was suddenly lifted off.

Wu Xie looked up and saw that it was the sea monkey.

It was the same one that Wu Xie had seen before.

"It really is a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road; I seem to run into these sea monkeys everywhere I go."

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

"Zhang Qi, keep an eye on Wu Xie and that fat guy. There's also the Forbidden Woman behind them. I'm going out first."

Fang Yun quickly replied.

Before Zhang Qi could react, Fang Yun leaped up and jumped out.

"You wicked beast, you really can't change your nature. Since that's the case, I'll send you on your way."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Fang Yun's eyes.

As Fang Yun jumped out, Zhang Qi took two or three steps in one, grabbing Wu Xie and running upwards.

Wu Xie quickly tossed the lighter to Fatty, fearing that the Forbidden Woman behind them would catch up.

The fat man couldn't care less about the pain and itching at this point; escaping was the most important thing.

As soon as everyone came out of the cave, they saw Fang Yun fighting with the sea monkey.

Judging from its appearance, the sea monkey must be at least as strong and tall as two or three adults combined.

Fang Yun appeared so small in front of the sea monkey, yet the sea monkey was now at a disadvantage.

Wu Xie and Fatty couldn't understand it, but Zhang Qi's eyes were wide open, and he didn't dare to look away from Fang Yun for even a moment.

"Qimen Dunjia, Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, who exactly is he? He uses them so skillfully, like a pioneer. He takes every step by relying on the power of momentum. That sea monkey can't even touch him."

Zhang Qi was greatly alarmed.

Although in the eyes of the world, Qimen Dunjia is just a method of judging things.
