The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Fang Yun nodded. Without further ado, he led the two of them in that direction. Soon, they arrived at the mountain crevice they had just mentioned. After squeezing through it, they could see a large brass gate not far away.

At this moment, the gate had been opened a crack, and it was clear that there were many messy footprints on the muddy ground below, indicating that many people had already gone in.

"Anything can happen inside later, so you all have to be very careful. Sometimes I might not be able to keep an eye on you all."

Fang Yun gave another instruction before walking through the gate. As soon as he entered, he could feel that the air around him was slightly different.

It was noticeably colder and more eerie here than outside, and the atmosphere was quite gloomy. Although I hadn't seen anything yet, it still made me feel uneasy.

Huang Ying and Xiao Ye also sensed this change and unconsciously tightened their clothes even more.

However, the chill here is not caused by temperature; no matter how warm your clothes are, you can't stop the invasion of the yin energy.

Fang Yun naturally knew that because this tomb had been hidden at the bottom of the mountain for many years, it naturally accumulated a lot of cold air. If a person with a weaker body came here, he would probably be unable to walk.

"Have you been to a place like this before? I remember you used to be hunters."

According to Huang Ying and the other person, they were both hunters in the mountains who made a living by hunting, so what they sought every day were rare animals and their fur.

This is completely different from tomb raiding; they're not even in the same league.

Ono replied, "It's not that we haven't experienced anything at all. Although we spend most of our time in those jungles, almost all the slightly cunning animals have their own dens."

“There are many creatures whose lairs are hidden in very secluded places, or even in these caves. So over the years, we have been to quite a few such places.”

Huang Ying seemed to have lost her previous courage; clearly, the seclusion here was beyond her imagination. She whispered, "Although I've been here before, I've never seen anything like this before. Brother Fang, if anything really happens, you have to protect me."

Fang Yun found it amusing. Before coming in, this girl seemed fearless, but now she's showing signs of fear.

However, Fang Yun didn't intend to hold it against her. Even if she didn't say anything, since she had come with him, he naturally had a responsibility to protect her.

"Don't worry, with me here, your safety is guaranteed. But the condition is that you follow my orders."

Fang Yun took this opportunity to emphasize the sentence again.

However, this was not what Fang Yun was concerned about. These yin energies were like old friends to him, and almost every ancient tomb he had visited contained some of them.

What Fang Yun was truly concerned about now was the hidden killing intent lurking in the shadows. Powerful auras were concealed, and under the natural cover of this ancient tomb, they were even more difficult to find.

This is what's more dangerous than any traps or mechanisms in this ancient tomb.

Those mechanisms only trigger when you step on a notification, and you have enough time to test the waters; they won't force you to act just because you're slow.

But people are completely different; an assassin could suddenly appear from the side at any moment to take your life.

"Be careful, stay close behind me."

Fang Yun gave a single instruction, then strode forward alone. Having decided to come, there was no reason for him to back down.

Although this place was fraught with danger, Fang Yun had seen such scenes countless times before.

Fang Yun's speed was impressive; in fact, even seasoned tomb raiders considered it quite fast. When they saw Fang Yun effortlessly dismantle the small traps one by one, seemingly without any resistance, they exclaimed, "That's insane!"

Of course, Fang Yun hadn't reached the very end yet. The further he went, the more dangerous the traps and mechanisms became. This was just an appetizer.

Other tomb raiders also believed that given enough time, they could also make good use of these places.

They just weren't willing to take the risk.

At that moment, Fang Yun's heart suddenly skipped a beat, a violent one, and a tremor suddenly spread throughout his body.

"Is there some danger?"

Fang Yun's intuition was accurate; he immediately stopped and stood there observing for a long time.

But after a while, nothing unusual happened.

"What happened just now?"

Fang Yun was puzzled and didn't know what had happened.

Then, the deep-seated feeling of excitement within him reminded him once again.

"Could it be the aura of that treasure?"

The trap could only give Fang Yun a sense of crisis and make him vigilant, but the feeling just now was completely different from that trap. Instead, it seemed to be attracting him forward.

Fang Yun even had a vague feeling that if he didn't speed up, he might not be able to catch up with this thing in the end.

"We need to speed things up, or someone else will beat us to it."

Fang Yun pondered for a moment.

Huang Ying patted her chest and said, "Do we need to speed up? Our speed just now scared away a lot of people."

Huang Ying had just experienced what madness meant when she followed behind Fang Yun.

The lightning speed she just witnessed, along the way, meant passing countless traps, all of which Fang Yun extinguished with a single finger, leaving Huang Ying feeling terrified.

Hearing that Fang Yun was going to speed up even more, Huang Ying was even more alarmed, wondering if Fang Yun could handle it.

"Alright, Brother Fang, you can make the decision. I'll keep an eye on the roof behind you."

Ono didn't say much, but simply focused on her role and what she could do.

Chapter 491 Strange Mountain Cave

"Okay, then you should all take care of yourselves. If anything unusual happens, please let me know immediately."

Ono is quite sensible, which Fang Yun greatly appreciates.

Understanding one's role and doing what one should do seems easy, but it is actually very difficult to do.

Fang Yun has at least never met many people with such rationality; Ono is one of them.

This further solidified Fang Yun's previous idea: if things went smoothly this time, Ono himself would give him some special guidance in the future.

This was an opportunity that Ono earned himself.

As for Huang Ying, she's not saying much now. She knows this is a tense time, and she can't disturb Fang Yun's train of thought because of herself.

Of course, Fang Yun actually had good control over his attention, and Huang Ying's talking didn't affect him much.

Because of the high speed, the passengers didn't pay much attention to some of the details along the way.

Fang Yun was very familiar with the mechanisms on the outside, after all, he had been through so many tombs over the years, and not every mechanism was different.

Due to the limitations of technology and history at the time, these were products from almost the same dynasty, and the mechanisms were not significantly different.

The tomb appears to be much older now, meaning its mechanisms would be even more primitive. At least what Fang Yun has encountered so far are mostly easily identifiable features like traps, arrow stunts, or pitfalls.

These traps didn't hold Fang Yun back for long, and he knew that his real opponents were the others who had also entered the tomb.

Fang Yun recalled the previous scene. There were many bosses on that stage who did not make a move. Excluding some who were genuinely weak, others were probably conserving their strength or saving it as a trump card.

Therefore, Fang Yun needs to be more careful. None of these people who have risen to their current positions are simple characters.

Many who were secretly observing cursed Fang Yun inwardly at his actions. They dared not act as recklessly as Fang Yun, but they were also afraid that he would seize the initiative, which put them in a dilemma.

"Damn it, aren't they afraid of triggering the killing formation here and killing everyone?"

Countless voices cursed and swore, but Fang Yun had already left their location.

After some time, Fang Yun noticed that the situation in the tomb had changed; the air here seemed to have become more heavy.

As they passed through a stone gate, Fang Yun suddenly sensed a dangerous aura approaching and immediately pulled Xiao Ye and Huang Ying back quickly.

Then, he saw a huge magic array on the road ahead, with a compass in the center. The compass started turning as soon as Fang Yun stepped into the stone gate.

Fang Yun initially thought it was just a magic array on this path, but he soon discovered that things were far more complicated than that.

The entire tomb was filled with deafening rumbling sounds, as if a millstone that hadn't been moved for years had been suddenly and forcibly pulled, making the sound quite grating.

"Could it be that the compass just now was the control for the entire tomb?"

As Fang Yun had expected, he stumbled upon the central control room, or at least the control center for this area, so soon.

Suddenly, stones began to fall from the top of the surrounding caves, as if something was about to be released.

With her sharp eyes and heightened alertness, Huang Ying quickly spotted the launch ports hidden in the mountain walls, which were now all exposed.

"Oh no, we have to leave quickly, or we'll probably be riddled with holes by these hidden weapons."

Fang Yun hadn't expected the formation here to be so powerful, it was like a net covering the sky and the earth. Although he had a way to ensure his own safety, it was still difficult for him to spare some energy to protect the other two people from such a dense attack.

"This stuff is definitely limited, let's find another place to hide first."

Before he could finish speaking, a dense rain of arrows and countless hidden weapons shot out from all directions. In an instant, not only did Fang Yun have to retreat, but he also alerted many people hiding in the shadows.

"You little rascal, we finally got to this place and were just about to continue our investigation, and you just arrived and activated the mechanism."

Gu Tingfang suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Faced with so many hidden weapons, many of her men were shot dead on the spot, unable to react in time.

Meanwhile, Ke Qiang and other strong contenders also began to find places to hide, but their followers were not so lucky, and most of them were killed or wounded.

Even so, no one intends to completely withdraw.

After three waves of hidden weapons, there was another click as the mechanism activated, and the huge stone ceiling above everyone's heads shifted and changed position like a millstone, replacing another boulder.
