The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Old Tai pointed his gun at Liang Shiye.

The underground river has a very rapid current, and the rock veins are nearby, resulting in extremely high water temperatures.

From the perspective of a normal person, no living thing could survive in such an environment.

Master Liang hadn't expected such a scene to unfold before he could even finish speaking.

Just as Lao Tai was questioning Liang Shiye, several more waves surged up in the water, washing everyone to both sides.

In the midst of the chaos, Wu Xie had no time to care about what was going on with Er Mazi.

"What kind of creature is in this water? What kind of creature can live in this environment? Besides those giant fish, I really can't think of any other species that could cause such a commotion. It can't be some kind of demon or monster! I really shouldn't have agreed to come with Lao Yang. It's even more terrifying than the underwater tomb."

Wu Xie sighed inwardly.

Just as Wu Xie was pondering, Er Mazi suddenly splashed around a few times and emerged from the water.

· ·········Request flowers· ···

However, the situation was not good. Er Mazi was covered in red blood. He staggered a few steps and fell into the water, where he lay motionless as if he were dead.

Old Tai is a cunning old fox; he certainly wouldn't take that risk. Seeing Wu Xie standing next to him, he kicked Wu Xie, signaling Wu Xie to pull Er Mazi out.

Even though Wu Xie was a hundred times unwilling and cursed the old man's ancestors for eighteen generations, with a gun pointed at his back, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the water. The feeling of the waves hitting his face was not pleasant.

That wasn't all. Water jets sprayed onto the cave ceiling like rain. As soon as Wu Xie was drenched, he realized something was wrong. The water temperature was outrageous; it created blisters as soon as it touched his skin.

...... ..... 0

Wu Xie could only use his coat to shield himself from the hot rain. The moment his other hand touched Er Mazi's body, it was so hot that he pulled it back.

The temperature is so high that Er Mazi is completely cooked; there's no way to save him.

Just as Wu Xie was about to return to the side, there was another loud bang, and another jet of water sprayed out a plume of white steam.

"What are you standing there for? Don't you know what a geyser is? Hurry up and dive down with me. The temperature here is hot enough to kill you."

Fang Yun pulled Wu Xie over.

What started as a light drizzle quickly turned into a torrential downpour. People outside were scalded and looked like pigs being slaughtered. When they saw Fang Yun and Wu Xie sneaking inside, they quickly followed suit.

The water temperature was not low at all, but compared to the hot rain outside, it was already a temperature that Wu Xie and the others could tolerate.

Wu Xie peeked out and took a breath, then subconsciously glanced behind him.

Steam was already rising from the river surface behind, and the heat was spreading extremely quickly.

Wu Xie now knew there was no way out. The place they had come from was probably the hottest, so he could only follow Fang Yun and swim downwards.

After swimming for several hundred meters, Wu Xie felt that the water temperature had returned to normal and was no longer rising much. He looked up to breathe and used his flashlight to search for Fang Yun and Lao Yang's location.

Fang Yun was not far from Wu Xie, while Lao Yang was about 100 meters ahead.

"Stop...stop! There's something ahead—"

Old Yang shouted desperately.

Before he could finish speaking, Lao Yang seemed to have been hit by something and sank down again. Wu Xie couldn't hear the last few words clearly.

Suddenly, Wu Xie heard a rumbling sound behind him and quickly turned around. Not far ahead, water was splashing everywhere, which clearly indicated that there was a large cliff, with water cascading down from it, and a continuous rumbling sound coming from below.

Wu Xie was momentarily stunned. If he were swept away by the current and fell to the surface, he would be torn to pieces. Moreover, it was unclear how deep the cliff was. If it was more than a hundred meters deep, falling down would be no different from falling onto concrete.

Just as Wu Xie was in a daze, Fang Yun grabbed him and swam vigorously toward the edge of the waterway.

Fang Yun and Wu Xie clung tightly to the surrounding cave walls, which was called "650". Even so, the two of them were still pulled out for about ten meters.

Only then did he regain his balance and stop being affected by the current.

Just as Wu Xie was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Liang Shiye shouting for help as he crashed into him from the front.

In an instant, he bumped into Wu Xie. Fang Yun frowned slightly, wanting to help Wu Xie up.

However, the impact was so great that Wu Xie and Master Liang were rushed out in less than a second.

The two quickly rolled around in the water. Wu Xie had been holding back for a long time and was already filled with anger.

With one kick, he sent the cold-faced advisor flying. When Wu Xie peered out to catch his breath, he found himself swept to the edge of the waterfall.

There is now no way to escape death.

Wu Xie could only reach out and grab at things haphazardly, hoping to grab onto something.

Suddenly, Wu Xie felt as if he had grasped a lifeline.

It turns out that the underwater chain from before continued all the way here, and Wu Xie happened to grab onto that chain.

The desire to live can unleash boundless power in desperate situations, and Wu Xie gritted his teeth and clung tightly to the iron chains.

Despite the relentless rush of water against my back, I finally stopped at the very edge of the waterfall.

Looking down further, one sees a bottomless abyss.

Wu Xie was secretly relieved that he had escaped death.

No one expected that it felt like someone was pushing their feet from below, so Wu Xie quickly shone his flashlight on it.

It turned out that the clerk was hanging on another iron chain, and Wu Xie's foot was stepping on his head.

Wu Xie kicked Master Liang twice, sending him flying to the side.

Upon touching the side, I discovered that there were numerous iron chains underwater all around.

These iron chains are intertwined, just like a fence.

It must be because of the passage of time that many of these chains have broken.

Old Yang floated over at this moment, and Wu Xie grabbed him and pulled him to his side.

Old Tai and the man called Boss Wang also grabbed the chains on the other side and stopped.

Er Mazi's corpse floated past everyone at lightning speed.

It spun around on the chain and got stuck between the two chains.

"This is not a good time for revenge. Look ahead."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

By the time Lao Yang realized what was happening, the water in front of them was already steaming hot; boiling water had arrived. Although everyone had already swum several hundred meters, the water showed no signs of cooling down.

Even from dozens of meters away, people could already feel the heat wave.

"Don't just stand there, think of something quick, no one can survive being scalded by this hot water."

Wu Xie shouted.

"I have a solution!"

The clerk hanging below suddenly spoke.

Wu Xie, Lao Yang, and Boss Wang all looked down at the same time and asked, "Hurry up and speak, stop dawdling!"

"No, you have to get me out of here. Otherwise, I won't suggest this method. We might as well all die here together."

"Master Liang shouted."

Wu Xie had no choice but to reach down and pull Liang Shiye up, glaring fiercely at him.

"The hot water is floating on top. We'll dive down and wait for the surface water to flow past. If we can hold our breath and get through that period, there should be a glimmer of hope."

"Master Liang said quickly."

Everyone thought it made sense, and they all plunged into the water.

Fortunately, there were chains all around, so you could pull yourself down by pulling on the chains.

Wu Xie felt he had descended about two meters into the underground river, though he didn't know how deep it was.

You can feel that the surrounding temperature has dropped a lot.

Now we can only wait for the heat flow to pass through.

Suddenly Wu Xie felt himself touch something, as if he were hanging on an iron chain.

In his panic, Wu Xie shone his flashlight and suddenly a hideously grotesque face appeared behind the chains.

Wu Xie was so frightened he almost couldn't hold his breath.

Fortunately, after going through so much, my courage has increased a little.

Wu Xie quickly took out his flashlight and examined it closely. It turned out that a rotting corpse was wrapped around the back of the iron chain.

The flesh on the corpse had long since swelled up, and its two eye sockets stared straight at Wu Xie.

This situation looks extremely strange.

Upon closer inspection, Wu Xie discovered that the person was wearing winter hiking clothes and had a backpack on his back.

Wu Xie was puzzled, and disregarding the shock and disgust he had just felt, he quickly took the backpack off the corpse.

Inside were Luoyang shovels, ropes, iron hooks, tinderboxes, and so on.

Upon seeing this person, Wu Xie immediately understood their identity. They were all here to raid tombs, but tomb raiding was risky, and it was normal to die before even finding the tomb.
