The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Old Yang had barely opened his mouth when Wu Xie immediately covered it.

"Let me tell you, I won't say a word to you no matter how much trouble you cause outside, but listen to me here. You can refuse to do whatever I tell you, but you must listen to what he says, otherwise you will never be so lucky as to be able to leave this ancient tomb a second time."

Wu Xie whispered in his ear.

Old Yang quickly shook his head, realizing he had misspoke, and looked at Fang Yun with a look of fear.

"Wu Xie, I think it's more reliable for you to handle this kind of thing. Take a cloth and blindfold yourself, just walk forward by your own senses. Don't worry about where you are or what you encounter, just keep walking forward. We'll follow behind you."

Fang Yun said calmly.

Just as Wu Xie was doing as Fang Yun instructed, the torch in Wu Xie's hand had reached its limit.

It flickered twice and then went out with a hiss.

The moment the torch went out, the already dimly lit space was plunged into complete darkness. Wu Xie was startled and almost threw the torch away.

Not to mention the cowardly advisor, Liang, who let out a strange cry and then a loud thud, probably from bumping into a coffin, howling in pain.

Wu Xie quickly calmed his panicked emotions, took out a lighter from his pocket, and lit the area around the torch.

Wu Xie carefully examined the burning tip of the torch. The tip had not been completely burned out, meaning the torch should not have suddenly gone out.

"No, something's not right. There's no wind here, so how could the torch suddenly go out?"

Wu Xie was startled.

"Old Wu, your technique is no good. This torch burned out too easily. It's only been a short time, and it went out in no time. It really gave me a fright. Next time, I guess I'll have to do this kind of work myself. You're still too unreliable."

Old Yang didn't think too much about it; he just stood by and laughed at Wu Xie with schadenfreude.

"Instead of rambling on and mocking me, why don't you hurry up and check on how that Master Liang is doing? Don't let him fall headfirst into a coffin."

Wu Xie cursed.

Wu Xie casually relit the torch in his hand, and the surroundings became bright again.

Looking up, they saw that the clerk was lying sprawled on the ground, and a coffin had been smashed apart by him, with the bones inside scattered all over the ground.

"Master Liang, your courage is truly lacking. It was just a torch that suddenly went out for a moment, but judging from your reaction, I thought something serious had happened."

Wu Xie was both amused and exasperated.

"That's not it. I wasn't scared because the torch suddenly went out. I felt like something was blowing on the back of my neck. I could feel the cold air. It scared me half to death, which is why I looked so ugly."

Liang Shiye quickly explained.

“Master Liang, you just said there were no evil spirits in this cave, but a cold wind blew on the back of your neck just now. What’s wrong? Has this ghost taken a liking to you?”

Old Yang said with a smile.

"Yes, Master Liang, you must remain highly calm here. No matter what happens, you must not panic and act recklessly. If something had really happened to you just now, do you think we would have saved you or left you here to fend for yourself?"

Wu Xie quickly replied.

“Young men, I really am not lying to you. If you don’t believe me, just ask that young man next to you. He knows much more than you do. Just now, I definitely felt someone blowing on the back of my neck. The air was cold and bone-chilling, making my bones feel cold. I think there are more than just the four of us here. There must be something else here.”

"Master Liang said quickly."

"What just happened was indeed a bit strange. The torch suddenly went out for no reason, and Master Liang also said that it felt like someone was blowing cold air on his back. Although the credibility of this statement is not very high, under such circumstances, we should still take all the potential dangers into consideration. It's never wrong to be cautious."

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

Fang Yun was not alarmed; instead, a fleeting smile appeared on his lips.

Wu Xie gave Lao Yang a wink, indicating that it would be safer for Lao Yang to come with him to take a look.

The two men took out their sidearms and slowly moved one after the other toward the spot where Master Liang had just been standing.

Just a foot behind where Master Liang was standing were coffins, lined up in a row to form a wall of coffins.

If Liang Shiye could feel air blowing on the back of his neck, then the only place he could hide would be in the gaps between the coffins.

Further on is another narrow path between coffins, which are arranged very densely. If you pass through there, you will definitely make a sound.

The absolute silence just now naturally ruled out that possibility.

Wu Xie and Lao Yang cautiously approached. Wu Xie first tested the area with a torch, then glanced around, both of them afraid that something might suddenly rush out.

After searching for about ten minutes, the two were relieved to find nothing unusual.

"It seems that Master Liang was indeed scared out of his mind. In that situation, it would be normal for someone who had never been to an ancient tomb to be afraid. Back in the Lu King's Palace, I was also scared out of my wits. It's understandable."

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

Old Yang glanced at Wu Xie helplessly, thinking that Wu Xie really had a lot on his plate.

Just as the two turned around to leave, the torch in Wu Xie's hand flickered again and then suddenly went out.

"Old Wu, be careful! There really is something here. Quickly light the torches; this thing might be afraid of fire."

Old Yang shouted urgently.

Wu Xie suddenly woke up with a start and hurriedly reached into his pocket for his lighter. Before he could even touch it, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and a cold wind rushed over him.

Wu Xie could only quickly squat down. A cold wind flew past Wu Xie's scalp, and Wu Xie lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The fall didn't hurt much, but it felt like something stuck to Wu Xie's face. Wu Xie didn't care about feeling disgusted at the moment, and quickly took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the torch with the fastest speed he had ever done.

"Old Wu, did you see clearly what that thing was just now?"

Old Yang quickly asked.

"What you're saying is ridiculous. That thing is extremely fast. In my opinion, it shouldn't be a zongzi (rice dumpling). Zongzi shouldn't be that fast."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

"You have to be careful this time. This thing is acting strangely for some reason. It doesn't seem to be attacking us, but rather trying to extinguish the flames on the torches (Wang Wang's). It has done this twice already, so it will definitely do it again. You must pay attention to the timing. I will cooperate with you."

Old Yang quickly replied.

"Have you guys been reading too many novels? I've already told you, this isn't some ancient tomb, so why are you having so many ideas?"

Fang Yun said helplessly.

As he spoke, the torch in Wu Xie's hand suddenly went out again.

Wu Xie and Lao Yang only felt a gust of wind slide past them.

A scream was heard, and Wu Xie quickly took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the torch again.

Fang Yun seemed to be holding something dripping in his hand, and that thing was trembling incessantly.

"There's such a big black rat here! I thought I'd encountered a ghost, but this little rat scared me so much."

Old Yang said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"No, the problem now isn't that big black rat, but where exactly are we? We've gotten a little confused about the directions after all that turning and twisting."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

"Why don't we just wander around in the dark like this, as Fang Yun said? Who knows, we might just find our way out."

Old Yang quickly replied.

Wu Xie searched everywhere for Liang Shiye's whereabouts. Liang Shiye had been startled earlier, and he wondered if he had recovered yet.

When Wu Xie noticed Liang Shiye, he discovered that the old man hadn't been listening to their conversation at all, but was instead intently fiddling with the skeletons on the ground.

"Old Yang, could this Master Liang be possessed? How can such a cowardly person be handling skeletons like that?"

Wu Xie quickly asked.

"Who cares about all that? Let's go over and see what this guy is up to."

Old Yang didn't seem to care at all.

Previously, only one coffin had been smashed by that clerk, but when Fang Yun killed that big rat just now, he used too much force, causing many of the surrounding coffins to break.

These coffins were already rotten, and now the ground is littered with corpses.

"Master Liang, what are you doing here? Come to your senses!"

Old Yang asked 660.

"I just stumbled upon a secret and was just about to share it with you all. That rat really came out just in time; if it weren't for the rat, I wouldn't have discovered this earth-shattering secret."

"I'm excited," said Master Liang.

"This old guy might really have something up his sleeve. What secrets can we possibly glean from this pile of bones?"

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

"Come here, gentlemen. Let me show you this first. If the gentleman next to me could see it at a glance, he would surely be able to tell the difference. But I just want to test you. Can you two see anything special about this bone?"

The clerk handed over a bone.

Wu Xie and Lao Yang exchanged a glance, their faces showing a troubled expression.

"Master Liang, stop beating around the bush. We're just dealing with the dead, not the dead. Just tell us straight, we need to hurry on our way, it's getting late."

Old Yang quickly replied.
