The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

The fat man had just hung the corpse up.

Suddenly, the sound of mechanical gears turning came from inside the corpse, a sound that was particularly jarring in the silent ancient tomb.

"This isn't right. There's still some time left, why did it detonate so quickly? This is going to be troublesome."

Wu Xie didn't have time to think further.

Chapter 295 Blow up a hole! Landslide!

Wu Xie also didn't know how long the bomb inside the mummified corpse would take to detonate.

However, they are now very close to the bomb and have no way to escape immediately.

Unless you jump directly off the pillar.

Before Wu Xie could even think of this, a flash of white light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Fortunately, Fatty tackled Wu Xie to the ground, and a loud bang caused the entire tomb to shake violently.

A blast of scalding heat followed, lifting everyone into the air.

Wu Xie spun around in the air six or seven times before being blasted three zhang away and crashing headfirst into the wall.

Wu Xie felt a ringing in his ears and thought he was dead.

After a long while, Wu Xie felt as if there was light in front of him. He tried to open his eyes, but as soon as he opened them, the world spun around him, and all he saw was yellowish-gray. He immediately vomited it up.

　After spitting out "637" twice, Wu Xie felt a little better and wasn't as uncomfortable as before.

Perhaps due to tinnitus, Wu Xie heard all sorts of chaotic sounds around him.

I just felt extremely noisy and had a splitting headache when a person ran out of the smoke.

"Are you okay?"

Fang Yun covered his mouth and nose as he spoke.

Wu Xie was about to speak when he unexpectedly bit his tongue and could only wave his hand at Fang Yun.

Wu Xie then realized that Zhang Qi and Fatty had not been found yet. Fang Yun gestured to Wu Xie, and only then did Wu Xie see Zhang Qi following behind Fang Yun.

The group quickly searched for the fat man again, and after a few steps they saw him sitting on the ground with two lines of blood flowing down his shoulder, apparently from being cut by broken bricks.

The moment the fat man saw Zhang Qi, he immediately started cursing, "Are you planning to kill me? You were so quick, and you didn't even warn me beforehand. You could at least let us back a few steps before turning on the switch! If I had reached up any higher, that hand would definitely be on me!"

"That, that wasn't me."

Zhang Qi opened his hand, revealing the temple of the glasses he was holding.

"Not you? Then it is—"

Wu Xie and Fatty were shocked.

The two of them flashed and hurried off to find Ah Ning.

The two went to the corner and looked, but there was no sign of Ah Ning anywhere. The fat man became angrier and angrier.

"That damned woman, I should have gotten rid of her back then. That little wench actually put on a convincing act."

Fang Yun seemed to be deep in thought.

"This woman is no ordinary person. She must be a master sent from somewhere. I have never seen anyone pretend to be stupid so well. It's as if she is really stupid."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

"Look at this woman's acting skills, she could be an award-winning actress. If I catch her again, none of you can stop me, I'm going to tear her to pieces to vent my anger."

As he spoke, the fat man picked up the tool next to him, intending to search for Ah Ning's whereabouts.

"Let it go. Consider this a loss. We don't have much time left. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Zhang Qi advised.

“Brother Zhang Qi is right. Now is not the time to cause trouble. The most important thing now is to see if the roof has been blown open. If you really can’t swallow this humiliation, we can talk about it after we get out. Anyway, there’s only one exit from the ancient tomb. We can just squat outside and that will make a difference.”

Wu Xie was also trying to persuade Fatty.

Before Wu Xie could finish speaking, a very miserable sound came from above.

It sounded like something was breaking; the sound wasn't very loud, but it still startled Wu Xie.

"Damn it, I was just saying, you don't have to be so polite to me, it's just one bomb!"

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

"This sound is a bit off! Xiao Wu, this situation seems much more serious than you thought, like a hole being blown up... This..."

The fat man's face turned somewhat pale.

Wu Xie quickly looked up at the hole that had been blasted open and swallowed hard.

The bomb inside the mummified corpse was indeed as powerful as Fang Yun had described, far exceeding Wu Xie's expectations.

The once incredibly hard iron bars have all been blasted through, leaving a hole about one meter in diameter.

The waterproof layer above the brick roof was also ruptured, and seawater rushed in, forming a small waterfall.

The strange sound I heard earlier was the sound of the waterfall getting bigger and bigger. I estimate that the cave entrance will be completely washed away by the sea in a little while.

The golden nanmu wood that everyone had previously chiseled away at was shattered by the massive explosives, leaving a huge crack running from top to bottom. The pillar, which had stood for who knows how long, was already showing signs of collapsing.

This once priceless pillar is now worthless.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that the pillar broke, which affected the beam above, and it is estimated that it will collapse.

Based on the sound, it can be roughly determined that the beam has definitely developed cracks and will collapse sooner or later.

"Don't worry, Fatty. This underwater tomb is much sturdier than the dry tombs we see on land. Unless there is an earthquake here, it is impossible for it to collapse. As long as you avoid the beams above, there is basically no danger."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

Before the words were even finished, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to shake violently.

Although Wu Xie had already anticipated that the airtight structure of the ancient tomb in the sea would be damaged.

So not only will seawater from above come in, but seawater from below will also keep surging up.

Wu Xie hadn't expected the commotion to be so huge.

The ground tremors grew increasingly intense and terrifying; if this continued at this rate, the roof might collapse.

The ground where everyone was standing was about to collapse.

"Big brother, I'm not calling you a scoundrel anymore. Tell me properly, what part of your body did we just fry, and why did it react so strongly?"

The fat man quickly asked.

"This is a natural phenomenon, so there's no need to worry too much. As long as we are prepared, water will spray out from the cracks in this tomb chamber in a while. We need to be careful, as the pressure is very high right now. The force of this water is like that of a fist, and it could knock a person down at least."

Wu Xie explained.

Strange noises began to come from the other side of the tunnel. Wu Xie looked closely and saw that the ground around the entrance of the tunnel had been almost arched up.

The shape looked remarkably like a volcanic eruption, which was terrifying to look at.

The water level in the tomb rose extremely quickly, reaching five or six meters in no time, and everyone began to float.

Wu Xie glanced around, trying to find A Ning's location. The smoke had just cleared, so A Ning was probably still hiding behind that pillar.

Chapter 296 Escape!

The fat man has now revealed that he is a terrible swimmer, and his swimming skills are extremely poor.

At this point, all they could do was swim frantically, and they had no time to look for Aning's location.

However, judging from the current situation, this is the only opening in the ancient tomb that can be used to escape.

I will meet Aning again no matter what.

The fat man kept giving Wu Xie meaningful glances, basically telling him that once they got out of here, they should ambush A Ning and cause her trouble.

In this ancient tomb, Ah Ning caused a lot of trouble for everyone, especially since she almost blew up the fat man just now.

The fat man absolutely could not swallow this insult.

The group continued to float upwards as the water level rose.

After a while, everyone's heads were touching the top of the tomb.

As if suddenly enlightened, the fat man swam desperately to one side, and Wu Xie couldn't help but curse inwardly when he saw this.

"You fatso, this place will be completely submerged in an hour at most. What kind of trouble are you trying to cause now? Stop looking for trouble."

Wu Xie cursed.

The fat man swam straight to a luminous pearl and struck it a few times with the thing in his hand.

After knocking the luminous pearl off, he stuffed it into his last remaining pair of pants, swam back, and looked at Wu Xie with a smile.

"How could I possibly leave without taking anything? That's not like me at all. I have to take something with me, at least some of the compensation for my emotional distress!"

The fat man said with a smile.

Wu Xie felt like strangling Fatty to death, but there wasn't much time left for him to speak.

The water had completely submerged everyone; they were all immersed in it.
