The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

However, they didn't seem to hear anything unusual.

Chen Dafang said urgently, "It's those rustling sounds. You can hear them if you listen carefully."

As he spoke, Chen Dafang added, "You all stay where you are, I'll go ahead and scout things out."

Then, Chen Dafang walked forward with great enthusiasm, and when the others wanted to follow, Chen Dafang stopped them.

"I'll handle it. You all stay where you are and wait for my message. Otherwise, if we all come over together, we might not be able to react in time."

When the others heard him say that, they stopped moving and just told Chen Dafang to be careful.

At this moment, Chen Dafang (bjbd) noticed that none of the others had followed, so he quietly took out a small white porcelain bottle from his pocket.

Then a pleasant fragrance wafted out of the porcelain bottle. Chen Dafang then poured the bottle into a crevice in the nearby rocks, and a thick, yellow liquid began to flow slowly.

After finishing all this, Chen Dafang quickly returned to the group.

"Nothing seems amiss. Could I have misheard?"

After Chen Dafang said that, everyone relaxed. Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Dafang, you really scared me to death. You were so jumpy. I really thought something terrible had come."

“Of course, it’s not that we’re afraid, it’s just that we didn’t hear the sound you mentioned. We thought our senses weren’t sharp enough,” Mu Yang said.

Just as the group was preparing to set off again, Fang Yun suddenly said, "Wait, something's coming."

The group immediately stopped, but upon listening, they heard nothing at all.

"Brother Fang, are you hallucinating too? There's clearly everything here."

Ono said.

Huang Ying also looked at Fang Yun with considerable confusion. Her hearing was considered good here, but she didn't notice anything unusual.

"That thing is still eighty meters away, it'll be here soon. You'd better be prepared."

As soon as Fang Yun finished speaking, Chen Dafang sneered, "Oh, you can hear so accurately. Even we hunters who have been hunting for years can't compare to you."

Huang Ying coldly retorted, "Perhaps Brother Fang really does have exceptional hearing. Don't make things up without understanding the situation."

Chen Dafang said, "Since he said eighty meters, let's wait here. We'll know whether it's true or not after a while."

Fang Yun didn't say anything more, but just gave another number: "Fifty meters, forty meters... thirty meters."

As he reported fewer and fewer numbers, the crowd's mood began to sour.

Chapter 437 The Heart of a Petty Person

"Ten meters..."

Just as Fang Yun finished speaking and Chen Dafang was eager to verify, the group exclaimed in surprise at the same time. They saw a black line slowly moving towards them from a distance of less than a few dozen meters.

The long black line appeared suddenly, without any warning.

When the group realized that the thing was getting close, they all gasped in shock.

"This...this can't be the pit ant tribe, can it?"

Several people shouted at the same time and retreated.

Fang Yun said from the side, "Right? I told you to prepare beforehand, are you panicking now? If you had listened to me and just left, you might already be far ahead by now."

At this moment, the pit ants smelled the human scent and became even more excited, moving much faster.

At this moment, Chen Dafang shouted, "Don't panic, didn't we have a backup plan for these ants? There's nothing to be afraid of."

Hearing Chen Dafang say this, the others looked puzzled. Then Mu Yang slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot, didn't we soak our hunting boots in medicine before? These insects shouldn't dare to come near."

Meanwhile, Chen Dafang seemed to have everything under control. He walked towards the black insects, and sure enough, when the insects got close to him, they suddenly walked away along the edge of his shoe.

The others also breathed a sigh of relief; since that was the case, there was no need to worry anymore.

Huang Ying looked anxiously at Fang Yun and said, "What are you going to do? You don't have any of these shoes. Why don't we run ahead for a while? These ants might not be able to crawl that far."

Before Fang Yun could speak, Chen Dafang said, "Xiao Ying, what are you saying? Why should I be involved in his affairs? Besides, I just warned you that you shouldn't get involved in this mess if you can't protect yourself."

"Then what do you suggest we do? Just abandon him? You might be capable of doing that, but I certainly wouldn't."

Huang Ying snorted, clearly very dissatisfied with Chen Dafang.

Ono then picked up a stone from the side and threw it over, saying, "Brother Fang, try standing on this stone. Maybe those ants won't be able to climb up."

Seeing that it seemed to be working, Huang Ying urged Fang Yun to stand on it quickly. And when Fang Yun stood on it, the ants indeed passed under the stone.

Before the group could even catch their breath, they saw the ants behind them stepping on the shoulders of the ants in front, piling up layer upon layer until they finally approached Fang Yun's location.

Huang Ying hurriedly grabbed a torch to drive them away, but Chen Dafang said, "It's no use. We don't know how many of these pit ants there are. Doing this now is just futile."

"Moreover, it would be very dangerous for us to stay here. You should come with me and leave, otherwise, none of us will be able to get away."

As Huang Ying waved her torch, about to sneer, Fang Yun said, "Miss, I think you should forget it. You go with them first, and I'll figure something out myself."

"What other ideas can you come up with now!" Huang Ying abruptly interrupted Fang Yun. At this point, Fang Yun's words were tantamount to playing with his own life.

"Don't worry, I have my own way. You guys should go first and don't worry about me."

Fang Yun was afraid that his methods would frighten these people, so he had no choice but to send them away first. However, Huang Ying showed no intention of leaving.

This left Fang Yun somewhat bewildered, unsure of what to do.

Mu Yang and Ono couldn't just leave, but seeing Chen Dafang's gloomy expression, they couldn't help but waver a little.

These ants are still relatively weak larvae. By the time the real adult ants emerge, they probably won't be able to escape.

...... ...

In that case, time is life.

"Xiao Ying, I think we should leave now. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave either."

Seeing the look Chen Dafang gave him, Mu Yang finally opened his mouth with difficulty.

Although he still felt somewhat reluctant about Fang Yun's situation, he believed that people always have to consider their own well-being and couldn't just throw their lives away for no reason.

At this moment, Chen Dafang said again, "Yingmei, you are still young, and it's inevitable that you'll be blinded by some things. Now it's my turn as the older brother to make the decision. If you insist on doing this, I'll have to have the two of them take you away."

"you dare!"

Huang Ying did not tell Chen Dafang to restrain himself. Instead, Chen Dafang gave a wink to Xiao Ye and his companion. One of them had the same expression as Chen Dafang, and the other was his brother who often went hunting with him.

At this moment, Chen Dafang spoke up, saying that they had no reason to disobey, and that it was all to save Huang Ying.

Mu Yang took a handful of corn out of his pocket and suddenly scattered it around the stones at Fang Yun's feet.

Chapter 438 Escape

"Brother Fang, I'm really sorry, my abilities are limited. I can only do my bit in this matter."

After the corn was scattered, the ants would eat the corn first before attacking Fang Yun. Although it was ultimately futile, it at least bought Fang Yun some time.

When Huang Ying saw that Xiao Ye and Mu Yang were about to come and take her away, she became stubborn and refused to leave. However, the two big men were not going to let her do that. They each grabbed one of her arms and dragged Huang Ying away.

No matter how strong Huang Ying was, she was insignificant in front of these two young and strong men.

As they left, Chen Dafang turned to look at Fang Yun, shook his head, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.

Fang Yun had just smelled a honey scent on him, and recalling Chen Dafang's previous behavior, Fang Yun understood what was going on.

There was clearly nothing here, and the group hadn't done anything particularly unusual, so why did the ants in the pit suddenly appear? This puzzled Fang Yun, but now he understood.

It must have been that Chen Dafang took advantage of that brief moment to pour something onto the nearby rock wall, which is why the ants smelled the honey and all gathered there.

When the group of people disappeared, the ants finished eating the ring of corn they had just left behind, and then climbed onto Fang Yun's thigh without hesitation.

These things were densely packed and pitch black, making anyone who looked at them feel uneasy and helpless.

At that moment, several gold-plated symbols suddenly appeared on Fang Yun's skin, seemingly carrying some kind of power. The ants crawling on his skin fell to the ground and turned into a pile of black powder.

This kind of Celestial Masters Taoism method, apart from Fang Yun, should have been almost lost in this era.

Seeing the danger ahead, and with the honey scent almost completely gone, the other ants turned back and began crawling back towards their nest.

Fang Yun stood there for a while, and the ants that had just covered the ground were now nowhere to be seen.

"It's better to go separately, so that some things won't be inconvenient."

Fang Yun muttered something to himself, and then walked in the same direction he had gone before.

This tomb is undeniably enormous, resembling an underground palace. Fang Yun even believes that this place wasn't originally intended as a tomb, but rather as a hiding place for soldiers.

Later, this place may have been abandoned, and when the prince of the reigning dynasty was to be buried, this was the place he chose.

As Fang Yun walked and observed, he found more and more evidence pointing to the conclusion he had previously believed.

Just as the oriole got its foot stuck in a ditch, and this ditch was very long, extending far into the distance. However, such ditches are only dug in places where water is needed for a long time.

If it were truly a tomb, why would they need to dig such a thing? The craftsmen who came to work brought their own meals, came in the morning and left at night, so they weren't considered to be living there long-term.

As Fang Yun ventured deeper, he discovered several smaller alleyways, all of which appeared to have much smoother surfaces. These were likely the places where they had camped.

Fang Yun was still very curious about why troops were hidden here in the first place.

I once heard that a general from the Eastern Han Dynasty liked to use this tactic of concealing his troops, initially showing weakness to the enemy so that they would think he didn't have many soldiers.

Then, when the enemy is lured deep into the mountains, the soldiers hidden in the caves are suddenly brought out to catch them off guard.
