The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

“Master Mo, you said he…you said he’s a member of the Celestial Masters Sect? No way, didn’t they say the Celestial Masters Sect has been extinct for over a hundred years? How could he possibly be a member of the Celestial Masters Sect?”

Master Mo's expression was unclear; he simply muttered, "Hmph, how could a mere mortal like you possibly understand what the Celestial Masters want to do?"

At this point, Master Mo suddenly took a few steps forward and then knelt down on one knee with a thud.

"Master Mo, what are you doing?" The leader sensed something was wrong. His expression changed slightly.

....... ....... ...

"I was unaware that a master of the Celestial Masters Sect was present today. I have offended you and am willing to accept punishment."

Master Mo naturally knew the power of the Celestial Masters Sect. Compared to them, the Gu family was practically nothing. So, without hesitation, he knelt down before Fang Yun.

If the other party were just a capable young person, there would be no need for me to act this way. However, since the other party is a successor of the Celestial Masters sect, his status is different. Even if I make a mistake, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

After all, how many people in this world can rival the Celestial Masters Sect?

Fang Yun, on the other hand, looked at Master Mo with a slightly bewildered expression. He hadn't expected this middle-aged man with a thick beard to kneel down so easily. If that was the case, he wouldn't know how to punish him.

"Ono, Miss Huangying. You've both been frightened by what happened today. How about this, you decide how to punish him."

Fang Yun thought for a moment and then let the two of them make the decision.

Ono and his companion stared at Fang Yun without speaking for a long time. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to still be in shock.

Chapter 448 The Way of the Celestial Masters

"Brother Fang, I never imagined you were a member of the Celestial Masters Sect..."

After a long while, Huang Ying suddenly said this, and judging from her tone, it was hard to tell what she meant.

Ono, on the other hand, didn't dare to say anything. He just chuckled twice and stood aside.

If the Gu family was a mountain to him, then the Celestial Masters sect was like a cloud far away in the sky, something he could only look at but never reach.

Thinking back to the times when he and Fang Yun had put their arms around each other, Ono suddenly felt a little scared.

Even if he were just a young master from the Gu family, I probably wouldn't dare to get that close to him, let alone Fang Yun.

"I told you to give me a 'seven-seven-three' punishment, so say it now," Fang Yun said with a smile when he saw that the two of them hadn't spoken for a while.

"Brother Fang, you should make the decision. We won't say anything." Huang Ying finally managed to say something after a long silence.

If she could communicate with Fang Yun freely before, and even act as the older sister in front of Fang Yun, she wouldn't dare to do that now.

Although Fang Yun in front of her seemed unchanged, her mindset had changed.

"Let me tell you a secret: what I just used was actually an illusion. I know nothing about this Celestial Masters sect, so how could I possibly be their successor?"

"This smokescreen might be exposed at any time. Let's find a chance to slip away."

Fang Yun whispered something to Huang Ying and the other woman. Upon hearing this, the two women couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!", but their expressions returned to normal.

This explanation does align with their previous thinking.

"So what do we do now? Should we leave now? It seems like this guy surnamed Mo doesn't dare to make a move," Huang Ying said.

"No rush. There are some things on Mr. Mo that I'm interested in. If we get them, they might be useful to us later."

As he spoke, Fang Yun walked over to Master Mo and said, "You made all those springs yourself, didn't you? They're a bit bulky, but they're better than nothing for self-defense. Let me see them."

Master Mo usually cherished this spring like his own life, but now that Fang Yun asked him to take it, he dared not refuse. After some hesitation, he finally took out two small black boxes from his pocket.

This small black box has many holes on one side; these are the mechanism holes from which the hidden weapons are launched.

"Not bad, it seems that although this method is a bit clumsy, it still has its uses."

As he spoke, Fang Yun disregarded Master Mo's pain and took the two small black boxes in his hands. He then threw them to Huang Ying and the other person, saying, "One for each of you. Keep them for self-defense from now on."

Master Mo could only remain silent upon hearing this, daring not to disobey.

Meanwhile, when Fang Yun looked up at the thugs again, the leader had just slipped into the crowd and was trying to make a quick getaway. As soon as Fang Yun looked over, the leader came out with a forced smile.

"This young hero looks exceptionally brave and valiant. I believe you will be magnanimous and forgive my mistake. I promise to stay as far away as possible from now on and never bother you again."

As he spoke, the leader waved his hand, and his men all shouted, "Please, Young Hero Fang, show mercy!"

Fang Yun naturally didn't bother arguing with these people. They were just a bunch of thugs; even if he taught them a lesson, he wouldn't gain anything.

"Then tell me, if I just let you go like this, wouldn't my pride be worthless?"

Fang Yun turned coldly to him and said, "If you want to live, hand over everything you were carrying, including the tools you used to come in and the tinderbox. Take everything out..."

"If I find out who is hiding something, they will leave their lives behind today."

Fang Yun's actions left Huang Ying and the other woman dumbfounded. They didn't know why Fang Yun would do this, as he didn't seem like this kind of person before.

"You're still not listening to Master Fang? Hand over everything!"

The gang leader seemed quite nonchalant. He figured he'd stolen it all anyway, so what if they took it? He'd just go back to what he was doing. It'd just take him a while to accumulate more.

Using this money to buy a life is certainly the most appropriate thing to do.

Soon, these thugs had pulled out all of these items. It was clear that they hadn't come here unprepared.

Surprisingly, there were quite a few professional tools for tomb raiding inside, such as grappling hooks, lights for illumination, and stone shovels.

Then Fang Yun dismissed these people using method 1.3, and sent Huang Ying and Xiao Ye to select items.

"Take whatever you can use from here, and hide the rest somewhere. These thugs won't stay here any longer without these things for self-defense. At least this way you'll have some peace and quiet."

Upon hearing this, Huang Ying and the other two realized Fang Yun's intention, so they went forward and picked and chose quite a few items.

They only sealed the bags when their hunting bags were almost full.

Chapter 449 Strange River Beach

After resolving the incident, Fang Yun and Huang Ying continued their journey, exploring deeper into the tomb.

Compared to when they arrived, the group was noticeably carrying more. Fang Yun, however, remained alone, traveling light.

However, Huang Ying and Xiao Ye dared not follow his example. They could only try to carry as many things as possible with them, so that their survival ability in this tomb would be improved.

At this moment, apart from Fang Yun, the other two clearly still seemed somewhat uneasy.

"Brother Fang, do you think if Master Mo goes back and suddenly realizes what happened, he might bring the Gu family's experts to chase after us?"

Huang Ying thought for a long time, but still couldn't help asking.

Although this temporarily deterred Master Mo, the other party was not alone and valued his reputation highly.

In particular, now that Master Mo's unique hidden weapons are in the hands of her and Ono, there is a high possibility that they will come back to seek revenge.

"Perhaps, but not so soon. Maybe by then we'll have already left this tomb and gone long ago."

Fang Yun didn't say that the other party might not come back for revenge, after all, Fang Yun had some understanding and grasp of human nature.

People like Master Mo, although they were shocked by Fang Yun's methods just now, after thinking about it and calming down, will definitely keep wondering if they made a mistake.

Deep down, he was very reluctant to apologize to Fang Yun.

Furthermore, if he were to come into contact with the Gu family again, they would either encourage him or provide him with support, which would greatly increase the likelihood of him returning to seek revenge.

"Anyway, we'll just do whatever Brother Fang says now. This tomb is too dangerous. If it weren't for Brother Fang, those thugs would have killed us."

At this point, Ono had a much more relaxed attitude. Without Fang Yun, they might not even be able to save their lives.

However, following Fang Yun might offer a chance to obtain treasures from the tomb. Even if there were dangers, it wouldn't be worse than the two of them exploring on their own.

"Heh, you're so carefree now, you can just rely on others without a second thought." Huang Ying pouted, but Xiao Ye didn't respond.

At this moment, Fang Yun took a few steps forward and suddenly noticed that the soil under his feet was a bit soft. He thought to himself, "Could it be that there are different layers of geology here?"

Thinking of this, Fang Yun slowly squatted down, then reached out and scooped up a small clod of soil in his hand, and then gently pinched it with his fingers.

"The soil seems no different from before, but it is noticeably softer, as if it is full of moisture."

Thinking of this, Fang Yun guessed that there might be an underground river nearby, because the soil here would be more moist due to the evaporation of water vapor.

"How are you swimmers? There might be an underground river ahead, so be careful on your feet."

Fang Yun turned back and reminded Huang Ying and the other person that the inside of this tomb was different from the outside. Due to the terrain, the water in the underground river might be very rapid.

Because it is dark and visibility is extremely poor, it will be very difficult for others to rescue someone who accidentally falls into the water.

"There's even an underground river?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Ying and her companion stopped in their tracks, slowing down considerably.

"We both make a living by hunting in the mountains. We spend a lot of time in the mountains, so we're not very good swimmers."

Huang Ying's expression was quite serious. Although she couldn't swim, she knew all too well how dangerous water could be.

When I was a child, I once slipped and fell into the river while bathing. I swallowed several mouthfuls of water before struggling to get ashore. Since then, I have never dared to go into the water again.

When we were young, we were fearless because we were ignorant, but when we really learned about the dangers, we knew they were too dangerous to do anything reckless.

Of course, there is another type: those who are originally afraid of water and dare not go into the water. They imagine it to be a very terrifying thing, but after actually going into the water, they find that it is not so bad.

The things I've always been afraid of are nothing more than this.

So sometimes, it's really hard to tell whether 777's perspective on money is better or the latter.

Group: ⑤⒈9①⒉4⒉43

"Alright, in that case, try to stay close together. If anyone accidentally falls into the water, the people behind can help them up."

Fang Yun reminded them again, and Huang Ying and the other person nodded emphatically.
