The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

After Zhang Qi said that, Wu Xie also noticed A Ning's unusual behavior.

Aning's expression was blank, as if the things around her had nothing to do with her.

Aning used to be so radiant.

"Now that you mention it, I also feel a bit strange. If it were any other time, let alone if I were to curse at her, even if I were to say something sarcastic, that crazy woman would come over and kick me a couple of times."

· ·········Request flowers· ···

The fat man echoed.

"Could it be that you, fat man, hit her too hard just now and knocked her senseless?"

Wu Xie asked.

"Stop talking nonsense. I didn't use any force just now. I just pressed down on her foot and didn't even leave a mark. See for yourself if you don't believe me."

The fat man quickly explained.

"Based on my observation, she did not suffer from external injury, but rather her nerves were stimulated, which caused her to look like this."

Zhang Qi said.

"Could it be that he saw something and got scared out of his wits? Don't forget what we just went through. Any normal person would be terrified if they saw those things."

The fat man said.

"You're overthinking it. This woman is ruthless. Ordinary things won't scare her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have tried to kill us all as soon as she went in, and instead wanted to explore this underwater tomb by herself."

...... ... 0

Wu Xie quickly replied.

“You’re right. Maybe she’s just pretending to be crazy to fool us. How about this, let’s tie her up with a rope. If she’s a crazy woman and starts hurting people again, it’ll be hard for us to defend ourselves in our current state. If we get wiped out by this little woman, then I, Fatty, will have lived in vain.”

The fat man said.

"I think your idea is good. Let's tie her up to prevent any trouble. This is the most appropriate way to handle it. Once we get out, we can just call the police and that's it."

Wu Xie said.

"Are you out of your mind? We're in this line of work, and you dare to call the police after you get out? You probably want to spend the rest of your life in jail."

The fat man said irritably.

In fact, Wu Xie hadn't quite figured out his new identity yet.

Ever since he went down into the tomb of the Prince of Lu with Uncle Fang Yun, Wu Xie has not been a good citizen.

If someone were to be caught tomb raiding, they would indeed have to spend the rest of their life in prison.

"I was just joking before, and I didn't quite get into character right away. Please just pretend I didn't say anything and let's just let this go, okay?"

Wu Xie quickly replied.

"Come on, expecting a good idea from a good scoundrel like you is harder than climbing to heaven."

Chapter 290 The Strange Tree! A Gilded Bell!

Fang Yun walked up to A Ning and picked up a flashlight to examine A Ning's pupils.

"There's no need to argue anymore. Ah Ning's pupils are dull and lifeless, and her reaction speed is extremely slow. This is much more serious than just being scared out of her wits, and it's definitely not something she's faking."

Fang Yun said calmly.

Wu Xie was convinced by Fang Yun's words. Fang Yun represented authority here, and since Fang Yun said it wasn't an act, it must be true.

"Fang Yun, what should we do about Aning's condition? Can you figure out the specific cause?"

Wu Xie quickly asked.

"It's hard to say. Anything could exist in an ancient tomb. We'll have to investigate to find out the exact reason. Why are we wasting our time here? Getting out of here as soon as possible is the main solution. As for those '630' women, just dump them at the hospital after we get out. There's no need to worry about them anymore."

Fang Yun said calmly.

Fang Yun's words drew nods of agreement from everyone.

"This place is so eerie, let's not dawdle. Let's look around, and if we don't find anything, let's leave!"

The fat man said to Zhang Qi.

Wu Xie knew that the fat man and Zhang Qi both had their own thoughts, but they were constrained by the strange place.

Wu Xie decided not to say anything. It wouldn't matter what the two of them did, as long as he followed Fang Yun.

In any case, we can get out of this strange and unpredictable underwater tomb.

The fat man was in front, holding a flashlight to illuminate the depths of the cave. It was clear that the cave wasn't very deep, only about ten meters long.

Unfortunately, the flashlight's penetrating power was not quite satisfactory, and the people could not see clearly; they could only make out a rough outline.

Wu Xie prayed that Fatty and Zhang Qi wouldn't see anything and that they could leave this place as soon as possible.

After all, the cave was so eerie and chilling that Wu Xie really didn't want to stay there for even a minute longer.

"Everyone, I think I see a tree. Am I seeing things?"

The fat man shone his flashlight and carefully looked into the distance, his eyebrows furrowing slightly as he spoke in disbelief.

"Fatty, don't spout nonsense here. This is an ancient tomb. How could any tree possibly survive in an ancient tomb? There's no sunlight and no one waters it. If there really were a tree, it would have rotted into mud long ago."

Wu Xie looked completely incredulous.

The fat man looked for a long time, probably because he was feeling guilty and wasn't sure if what he saw was a tree, so he could only point Wu Xie in a direction.

"How could there be such a tree here? Something seems amiss."

Fang Yun muttered to himself.

In this environment, Wu Xie and Fatty couldn't see the trees in the distance clearly; at most, they could only vaguely make out something that looked like a branch.

The outline looked somewhat familiar from a distance, but it was impossible to tell exactly what it was for the time being.

Only if Fang Yun is unaffected by the outside world, this kind of environment is nothing more than child's play for him.

“I can’t see it clearly, but I’m sure it’s definitely not a tree.”

Wu Xie said.

"You little rascal, I'm telling you, that's just a tree. In my eyes, it's even shimmering with golden light. If you really don't believe me, let's go take a look together."

The fat man said very stubbornly.

"I can tell you're just after tomb raiding, not the real purpose of your business. I, Wu Xie, know exactly what you're up to. Even if there's a tree made of gold right in front of you, do you think you can carry it?"

Wu Xie said helplessly.

Wu Xie didn't want to say much, but seeing Fatty's current state, he couldn't help but say a few words.

"Whether I, Fatty, can carry it or not, we'll have to go over and see. Who knows, there are some small items up there. If we can't carry the big ones, we can at least move the small ones. Besides, if we hadn't come in, I, Fatty, would have just pretended nothing happened. But now that we're already here, and there's something good right in front of us, do you think it's appropriate not to let me, Fatty, go and take a look?"

The fat man had an expression that said, "It's all your fault."

These words really left Wu Xie speechless.

The main reason why everyone entered this cave was indeed because they had wandered in.

Otherwise, no one would have taken such a big risk to come in.

Wu Xie still felt a little guilty about what the fat man had said, so he could only shake his head helplessly and remain silent.

"Everyone follow me, don't fall behind."

Zhang Qi spoke softly, and after finishing, he turned around and walked straight into the dark cave without looking back.

When the fat man saw Zhang Qi call out to everyone, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Now, even if Wu Xie says something, Fatty doesn't care anymore. After all, the minority has to obey the majority.

The fat man could tell that Fang Yun next to him didn't seem to have much interest in anything here.

If Zhang Qi agrees, then I can go in and make a good profit.

Thinking of this, the fat man picked up Ah Ning and quickly chased after her.

Zhang Qi walked in a hurry, and although Wu Xie found it a bit strange, he still limped over to him.

Fortunately, Fang Yun was with him; otherwise, Wu Xie might not have been able to take more than a few steps in this eerie cave.

Zhang Qi walked quickly ahead; the brick hole was a uniform width from the inside out.

The distance from where Wu Xie fell to the bottom of the cave wasn't very far at all.

Soon the group arrived in front of the so-called tree.

This was the innermost part of the brick cave. Zhang Qi silently raised his flashlight, and only then did everyone see the true face of the cave.

It was a huge white coral, as tall as an adult.

There are a total of twelve branches, which radiate outwards.

From a distance, its shape does indeed resemble a large tree.

The coral carving is exquisite, but the material used to make the coral is very ordinary, not a very precious stone.

The corals were all situated in a huge porcelain basin, weighed down with pebbles.
