The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

When the "710" team arrived at the gate of the Chen residence, Fang Yun clearly noticed that there were many more people there.

Besides Chen Changkui, there were also some nearby residents and more than a dozen employees of the Chen family.

Almost every one of these people carried a flashlight, as well as some iron tools for self-defense.

It seems that Chen Changkui was afraid something might happen inside, so he called so many people over for moral support.

However, Fang Yun only glanced at it briefly; for those haunted tombs, having more people was of no use at all.

"You're here?" Chen Changkui snorted when he saw Fang Yun approaching, then waved his hand. "Let's set off now, while the sun is still high, and return quickly."

While a large number of people may not always be useful, they certainly embolden people. With so many people rushing forward, the metal weapons at their waists clanged loudly, and for a moment, the fear among the crowd dissipated considerably.

"That thing has made our lives miserable for so long, this time we must wipe it out completely."

"Exactly! Let's see what amazing things are hidden inside!"

This sense of pride only began to wane as the group arrived at the entrance to the mountain tomb. Gazing at the dark interior of the tomb, many people's hearts began to pound.

It is said that those poisonous insects all came from here. This tomb may very well harbor some kind of zombie or great demon.

Many people fell silent at the thought of those horrifying things.

"Everyone, turn on your flashlights!"

Chen Changkui shouted, and then more than a dozen flashlights shone into the cave. However, the light was limited, and from the outside, all that could be seen were some scattered stones.

At this moment, Fang Yun asked, "Fourth Master, shall you go in first or shall I go in first?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changkui was speechless for a moment, but then he patted his chest and said, "What a joke! Do you think I would let a greenhorn like you go in first and take advantage of you like that?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Changkui absolutely could not afford to lose face.

Just as he walked toward the entrance to the tomb, about to step in, he suddenly heard an old man's voice behind him.

"You absolutely mustn't go in! I've heard that there's a giant snake inside that's hundreds of years old. All those poisonous insects are there to carry food for that old monster."

Chen Changkui felt a chill run down his spine, then turned around and cursed, "Where did this ignorant old man come from, spouting such alarmist nonsense? I've never heard of a snake that can live for hundreds of years."

With that, Chen Changkui stepped inside without looking back.

Fang Yun didn't want Chen Changkui to say that he was taking advantage of the situation, so he followed closely behind.

Once inside the cave, aside from the eerie atmosphere and limited visibility, it was mostly just weeds and scattered rocks, nothing particularly unusual.

Chen Changkui suddenly became bolder and said, "It's just an ordinary mountain tomb. I never thought there would be anything mysterious inside. Your Fourth Master will turn it upside down later!"

Fang Yun stood aside, too lazy to pay attention to Chen Changkui. The more peaceful and unremarkable the tomb, the more careful one should be, because no one knows where danger might be hiding.

Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps came from outside the tomb. It turned out that the group of people who had been outside had also come in one by one.

Seeing these people talking as they walked, as if they were visiting a museum, Fang Yun couldn't help but feel a little displeased.

This is not a place for sightseeing; so many people rushing in will only disturb the creatures in the tomb.

"I've seen plenty of tomb raiders make a fortune this way before, but I never thought I, Old Ke, would be doing this kind of thing one day!"

"Haha, if we can find some treasures to take back later, we'll make a fortune."

Everyone chatted amongst themselves, completely forgetting their original purpose for coming. 1.3 In this cheerful atmosphere, they unknowingly walked several miles inside.

Judging from this distance, Fang Yun could almost conclude that this was not the small mountain tomb he had imagined, but a real large mountain tomb.

Otherwise, the area surrounding the tomb wouldn't be so extensive.

"That's strange, where did those things come from?"

If poisonous insects all crawled out of this hole, Fang Yun hadn't seen any insect nests or burrows yet. He had no idea where these insects were hiding.

Chapter 371 The Giant Serpent in the Tomb

"I just heard that old man say that there's something else in here...some big worms, but I didn't see any."

"Oh, people get timid as they get older, what's so strange about that?"

Just as everyone was chatting enthusiastically, the sound of stones turning and breaking suddenly came from somewhere.

Everyone immediately shut their mouths and looked around, but they didn't see any changes in the walls.

Where did that sound come from?

Chen Changkui was also puzzled. The sound was right next to his ear, but he just couldn't find the source of the sound.

The stones made a loud rumbling sound, but apart from feeling a slight tremor, no one saw anything else happen.

"That's because the sound is underground, everyone be careful!"

At this moment, Fang Yun suddenly shouted, but by the time everyone reacted, it was too late.

Suddenly, a huge snake head emerged from behind the crowd. Although only half of the snake's body was visible, it was already three or four meters tall. Its green eyes and the putrid smell that occasionally emanated from its tongue nearly made the timid faint.

Everyone gripped their iron tools tightly. Their lips were dry and their hearts were pounding. Fortunately, many of them had experience hunting in the mountains and were able to stand up a little.

Those who wanted to run away, upon seeing the enormous snake body, immediately felt how insignificant they were, and a deep-seated fear surged from the depths of their hearts.

They wanted to run, but the fear was like a giant hand that held them back, preventing them from moving even a toe.

Chen Changkui knew that if he didn't set an example, he and the others would probably die here. So he shouted, "Don't be afraid, everyone! It's just a big snake. How many snakes have we killed over the years?"

With his roar, Chen Changkui felt his courage increase considerably. But then the snake's eyes suddenly looked at him, and he felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of foreboding washing over him.

"Listen to me, Da Huo! Take out all the sharp knives and hidden weapons you're carrying and use them on this snake!"

As he spoke, Chen Changkui unhesitatingly unfastened the dagger from his waist. This was a weapon specially made by the blacksmith years ago, and it was extremely sharp.

As Chen Changkui pulled out the dagger and smashed it into the snake, the others reacted as well. After all, they weren't stupid and wouldn't just sit and wait to die. Seeing someone take the lead, they all took out various objects and threw them at the snake's body.

When these iron weapons struck the snake, they made a clanging sound, and these weapons couldn't even penetrate the snake's scales.

Enraged, the giant snake charged into the crowd like an arrow shot from a fully drawn bow. Instantly, three or four people were bitten in the waist, their blood staining the ground and emitting a strong, foul stench.

Many people were so frightened that they stood frozen in place, while others were also terrified and ran away in a panic, crying and screaming.

Chen Changkui, who had seen his share of big events, could only barely keep his balance.

"Stop running around, or you'll only hurt more people. Listen to me, light all the torches you brought. That will hold them off for a while."

Fang Yun's voice was loud, but none of the people listened. Who knew if what Fang Yun said would have any effect? ​​It wasn't until an experienced old hunter spoke up that the group slowly brought out their torches.

The firelight illuminated the dark cave, and the giant snake visibly paused. Although somewhat afraid of the firelight, the snake still managed to stay firmly in place.

"The only way to survive is for everyone to work together! Otherwise, we'll all die here!" Chen Changkui shouted, then drew his long sword from his waist.

Since we can't hurt this snake with hidden weapons, let's just chop it down. I don't believe it has such strong scales to withstand that.

"Master Wu, the rest is up to you."

At 7:13, Chen Changkui looked at a middle-aged man in a hunting robe in the crowd. Master Wu was the most famous archer in Wuliu Town, and Chen Changkui's last resort.

Master Wu didn't say much, but silently took out the crossbow and arrows from his backpack. He had specially modified this crossbow, and the bolts it fired could pierce through two century-old trees.

As Chen Changkui picked up his knife and ran towards the giant snake to attract attention, Master Wu loaded the crossbow with ammunition, then aimed and fired.

Sure enough, the arrow pierced the giant snake's chin. Everyone was delighted to see this, realizing that the snake was not invincible after all.

Just as Chen Changkui's broadsword was about to strike the snake, the giant snake suddenly lunged out with lightning speed. By the time Chen Changkui reacted, Master Wu had already been bitten in two at the waist. His upper body was still being held in the giant snake's mouth.

Chen Changkui was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.

Chapter 372 Slaying the Serpent with a Sword

"Quick...run!"

At this point, the crowd was practically a bunch of headless flies, wanting to run, but there were stones blocking the way in front and the giant snake behind them, so where could they run to?

"Fourth Master, let's find a chance to run away quickly, or it will be too late!"

The servants of the Chen family were still somewhat loyal, and they all stayed close to Chen Changkui. This was the first time Chen Changkui had been beaten so helplessly that he almost bit his lip until it bled.

"Ah, I'm going to fight you to the death!"

Seeing so many people die tragically, Chen Changkui's eyes turned bloodshot, and the others had no choice but to hold him back tightly.

"Fourth Master, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. Going now will only result in a pointless death!"

After much persuasion from everyone, Chen Changkui could only helplessly say, "Even if we try to escape, where can we go? You all saw how fast this snake is; we can't outrun it at all."

Upon hearing Chen Changkui's words, the other servants of the Chen family also sighed and felt utterly hopeless.

Just then, Fang Yun, who had been standing still for a long time, suddenly took a step. He was not trying to escape, but walking step by step toward the giant snake.

"What is that kid trying to do? This isn't the way to throw your life away."

A cold glint flashed in Chen Changkui's eyes, but he didn't bother to remind Fang Yun.

"Perfect timing! While that kid is being eaten by the snake, let's take the opportunity to escape. Even if the snake is powerful, it still needs time to eat."

Upon hearing Chen Changkui's words, the other servants of the Chen family immediately perked up, keeping a close eye on everything around them, ready to leave at the first opportunity.

At this moment, Fang Yun was getting closer and closer to the giant snake, and the giant snake also turned its gaze to Fang Yun, flicking out its scarlet tongue.

"Young man, are you out of your mind? Get out of the way!"

Just then, an old hunter shouted, urging Fang Yun to get out of the way. Although survival was now highly unlikely, he couldn't just stand by and watch Fang Yun go to his death.

Fang Yun smiled at the hunter and said, "Don't worry, uncle. I've been observing it for a long time. I'm confident I can handle it."
