The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Fang Yun walked to the edge of the tent, then lifted a small gap to look outside. He saw that five men had appeared at some point and were standing outside the tent, whispering something to the guards outside the camp.

Fang Yun wouldn't have paid much attention to what was just a normal conversation, but these people looked tense, as if they were talking about something extraordinary.

"797, that's strange. What are they talking about? Is there something wrong with this?"

Fang Yun became curious and paid closer attention to the men again.

All five of them were dressed in black, giving them a somewhat occupantly dark appearance. However, if one looked closely, one could see a slight hint of black and red in the center of the group.

The man was about twenty years old, with a short knife hanging from his waist and a brocade box wrapped in a cloth on his back; it was unclear what was inside.

Although Fang Yun could see their movements, he still couldn't hear them clearly because they were far apart and the people were deliberately lowering their voices.

Later, Fang Yun decided to let it go. People naturally have their own private matters, and he didn't need to know them.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun went back to rest, and soon it was evening.

If it weren't for the watch, the people in this tomb wouldn't be able to tell the time. Fang Yun suddenly remembered that Chen Xiaonan and the other person seemed to be waiting for him to eat, so he took out his phone to send a message.

But then I realized that my phone had no signal at all, and I couldn't send a single word.

"Never mind, since they saw I didn't go back, they'll probably contact Manager Liu. Manager Liu will tell them what happened then."

Fang Yun thought about it and decided to relax.

When he stepped out of his tent, Huang Ying and Xiao Ye were already waiting outside. It was clear that after two hours of rest in the afternoon, they were in much better spirits.

After all, we encountered quite a few things today, many of which were quite thorny and difficult to resolve.

When the two of them caught Fang Yun, their previously excited expressions suddenly faded, and a hint of frustration seemed to linger on their brows.

"What's wrong? Are you not used to resting here?"

Fang Yun had a keen sense of smell and quickly noticed the change in the two. The two wanted to deny it, but Fang Yun said, "Don't be shy, just tell me directly."

Ono hesitated for a moment, but ultimately, being the thicker-skinned one, he said, "We knew our strength was weak and that we were taking advantage of others' fame without wanting to show off. But some people just don't like us and don't want me to stay."

Upon hearing what Ono said, Fang Yun understood that someone must have said something to Ono and the others.

After all, this is Chen Xian's territory. People who can come here are usually well-known figures in Guangling. Huang Ying and Xiao Ye are just two nobodys from the village. It's normal that they look down on them.

However, Fang Yun felt it was better not to argue about saving face. It wasn't that he had to retaliate just because someone looked down on him. Firstly, he didn't have the time, and secondly, there was no need.

Moreover, Ono and his companion are indeed in this situation in terms of strength. If they don't want to be treated like this in the future, they need to start working hard to improve their skills from now on.

“Brother Fang, if he were only talking about the two of us, that would be fine. We are not strong enough, so we can just accept our bad luck. But not only does he look down on us, he also dragged you into it. That’s really infuriating.”

"Oh, what did you say about me?"

Fang Yun laughed.

I wonder what this complete stranger would say about me.

“They told him about your performance in the arena, and he just said that you and Bai Hansheng had planned it. He had faced Bai Hansheng before and knew that Bai Hansheng was skilled in ice magic. Even if he couldn’t win, he shouldn’t have been defeated so quickly.”

“Yes, they say Bai Hansheng was covered in frost at that time, and ordinary blades couldn’t penetrate him. How could you have won so quickly? There’s no better explanation than two cheating agreements.” Huang Ying said indignantly from the side.

Even if what the other party said makes sense, it is difficult to shake Huang Ying's trust in Fang Yun.

This trust has been deeply rooted from the very beginning and cannot be shaken so easily, nor can it be convinced simply because the other party seems powerful.

Chapter 472 A Small Test

"Forget it, just ignore him. He's just a frog in a well. Don't waste your time saying anything to him."

After hearing Huang Ying's words, Fang Yun was able to tell what kind of person she was: a self-righteous person who knew nothing about his Celestial Master's methods.

Just as Fang Yun was thinking of going to find Chen Xian to continue discussing matters, a cold laugh came from somewhere: "Who is calling me a frog in a well? I'd like to see who this person is."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun felt the voice was somewhat familiar. He then saw a young man dressed in black walk over, followed by four muscular men also dressed in black.

Fang Yun suddenly realized why he felt so familiar. Wasn't this the same person he had seen earlier who had just arrived at the camp?

He had been wondering where these people came from and what their identities were, but before he could even ask, they came to him on their own.

"You're Fang Yun? They were praising you so much, but now that I look at you, you seem pretty ordinary. I don't see anything special about you."

As soon as the young man spoke, a burly man next to him laughed and said, "Young master, to tell you the truth, someone like him, let alone fighting an enemy, probably couldn't even withstand a single punch from me."

“Exactly. When I used to run a boxing gym, I might not have been willing to take on an apprentice with his physique because he’s hard to train.” ~ Another person spoke up.

Huang Ying was furious and said, "How can you talk about people like that? I've seen plenty of people like you. All you can do is talk a big game, but you have absolutely no skills."

The young man in black laughed heartily upon hearing this, saying, "Girl, you should say those words to your companion surnamed Fang. When it comes to boasting, no one here can compare to him. I'm just curious how he bribed Bai Hansheng."

Huang Ying was about to argue, but Fang Yun stopped her, saying, "Why argue with them? It's pointless."

As he spoke, Fang Yun told Huang Ying to walk away with him. The young man in black said, "What, you're planning to leave now that you've been exposed? But how long can you keep running away like this?"

“I came to this ancient tomb to retrieve the treasure, and I had previously agreed with Brother Chen that I would be in a group with him. But now I hear that you have been replaced. I was just about to go and ask him about it.”

"If he can't give me a reasonable explanation, I can't do anything to him, but as for you, you've ruined my plans, so you'll have to bear the consequences."

The young man in black looked at Fang Yun as if he were looking at an ant that had stolen his food.

Fang Yun finally understood why this person had targeted him from the start. After all, it was necessary to maintain a facade of harmony in the ancient tomb, otherwise it would only benefit others for nothing.

"Oh, so what you mean is?"

"It's very simple. If you can defeat my men, I will acknowledge your strength and understand that Chen Xianxuan has some merit."

"Otherwise, then Mr. Chen was deliberately bullying me by choosing someone like you to replace me."

Fang Yun, upon hearing this, had no qualms, but said, "Your men are probably not up to par, and if your strength isn't much greater than these men, I advise you not to compete."

· ·········Request flowers· ···

"Sometimes when I'm in a good mood, I'll hold back a little, but if I'm not very patient, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back much."

"The consequences might not be what you want to see."

Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, a burly man with a thick beard behind the young man couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Young master, this brat's mouth is too hateful. I'll go out and tear him apart right now!"

The young man nodded, then looked at Fang Yun and said, "I must also remind you, I never take responsibility for the murders I commit. You'd better remember what this person looks like, otherwise the wronged spirit won't be able to find a place to seek revenge later."

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

The burly man laughed and said, "I am Liu Hu. My hands can break an iron plate. Now let me see if your bones are harder or the iron plate is harder."

"Then you might be disappointed, because you won't even have a chance to make a move..."

When the last word was spoken, everyone noticed that Fang Yun suddenly disappeared from the spot. Only Liu Hu shouted with a solemn expression. He could feel an extremely strong force rushing towards him.

When he tried to stop them with full vigilance, he found that two pairs of pliers had clamped his wrists. Then he heard two crisp cracking sounds and Liu Hu let out a miserable howl.

Those closest to Liu Hu turned to look at him upon hearing the sound, only to find that Liu Hu's arms were hanging limply at his sides, and his face was deathly pale.

When they looked at Fang Yun again, they saw him standing there with a faint smile on his face, as if he had never moved.

Chapter 473 Greatly Astonished

"How could this happen?"

No one could believe their eyes. Although Liu Hu was indeed injured, no one had seen how he was injured.

I only saw a dark shadow flash by, and then this happened.

This is because the cave is pitch black, so visibility is very poor unless you get very close to it.

"Take Liu Hu away and bandage him up."

The young man in black coldly watched this side, and when he heard Liu Hu's howl, he became even more agitated. He didn't want someone who was disrupting the morale of his troops.

"Did you hear me? Take him down from '797'!"

The young man shouted again, and then a man came up to help Liu Hu to get down. Liu Hu knew he had lost face, but he still said angrily, "Let me stay! Even if I can't use my hands, I can still kick him to death with my feet."

"Stop making a fool of yourself here. You can't even touch the other person's shadow, so what are you going to do to kick them?" The man who was helping him saw it clearly, slapped Liu Hu, and then forcibly dragged him down.

"Okay, I can tell you're quite skilled; your speed is indeed impressive."

As Liu Hu's voice faded into the distance, the young man in black turned his gaze to Fang Yun again, this time with a hint of respect in his eyes.

"However, if your only advantage is speed, then I'm afraid I have to apologize to you. In my world, speed alone is not enough."

With that, the young man in black clapped his hands and said, "Form ranks!"

Fang Yun found it amusing. He hadn't expected these unassuming people to know formations. He wanted to see what kind of formation they had.

Then they saw the remaining four people huddled together, each guarding a different spot.

"They're all just my subordinates, ordinary thugs. It's not like I'm bullying you by having them form a formation, is it?"

The young man in black said.

Huang Ying couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, if you can't beat them, you can't beat them. Why make excuses? But I believe Brother Fang won't mind your little tricks."

Fang Yun said, "Indeed, if you feel it's not enough, you can add it yourself to the formation to fill the gap left by Liu Hu. Otherwise, it would be better to avoid being accused of making your formation incomplete again."

"Hmph, kid, you were just testing the waters and caught us off guard. You got a little cocky, but you'll be crying later."

The burly men on the other side also looked angry. Although they felt that it was unfair for four people to fight one, Fang Yun's words made them somewhat unhappy. They all took out their weapons and glared at Fang Yun menacingly.

"Boy, if you can break this formation, we'll acknowledge your strength."

The man standing in the southeast direction held two sharp knives in his hands, as if he were about to use them to stab Fang Yun in the chest at any moment.

"This fork is for you. I'm going to stab your heart out of the ground and see how fast it beats!"
