The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"In such deep mountains, even if someone is hiding nearby watching you walk by, you probably wouldn't notice."

Fortunately, Fang Yun left a mark on that person, so even if that person hid in the deepest part of the mountains and forests, he could still find him.

Therefore, Fang Yun was not in a hurry to follow, but instead pulled Wang Hai to slow down, so that they could be more sensitive to the surrounding environment.

Then the man in black slowed down and finally stopped. Fang Yun knew they had arrived at their hideout.

"You and I will each keep an eye on two directions, and if there is any unusual activity, we will immediately notify the other party."

Wang Hai nodded when he heard Fang Yun speak, and became even more attentive.

However, this was a deep mountain forest with many wild animals and birds. These creatures would occasionally make noise as they passed through the grass, which would affect the two people's judgment and thus unknowingly slow them down.

After a while, they finally arrived at the place where the man in black had stopped. Fang Yun looked up and saw a small hill in front of him.

· ·········Request flowers· ···

"I reckon there's some kind of cave in that mountain, and that's where that group of people are hiding. Let's look around the area first and see if there's any mountain path we can take up there."

Because the mountain's cliffs are quite steep, going directly up would attract attention and be exhausting, so Fang Yun decided to take the smaller path instead.

However, at that moment, a loud laugh came from the mountain.

"You two no longer need to search; I am right here. I have been waiting for you for quite some time."

At that moment, a person wearing a black cloak suddenly emerged from a small hill. Behind him stood dozens of people completely masked and dressed in black night clothes.

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

At this moment, everyone was holding a torch, which immediately illuminated the mountain forest.

Upon seeing the man, Wang Hai exclaimed excitedly, "Who are you? Release my father right now, or we'll raid your hideout!"

"You must be Wang Hai. I've been looking for you for a long time, but I never expected you to come to me like this today. It's like finding a needle in a haystack."

The man in black, far from being angry upon hearing Wang Hai's words, instead revealed a smile. He seemed to be eyeing two prey, and Wang Hai was precisely the one he had been eyeing.

"You old bastard, who are you anyway? Stop trying to talk your way out of this. I'm warning you one last time, release my father right now, or I'll burn this place down to the ground."

"Go ahead and burn it. We weren't planning on staying here forever anyway. You said we'd move to the Wang family's place anyway."

Chapter 693 Unbridled Boasting

The other party not only ignored Wang Hai's threats but also kept mocking him, which made Wang Hai furious.

"I haven't told you yet, but your father, Wang Tianlin, is right here with me. I've never been able to get him to talk before. Now that you're here, I don't believe he won't talk when I threaten to kill his son right in front of him."

As he spoke, the old man waved his hand, and all the men in black around him scattered into a circle, surrounding Fang Yun and his companion.

Wang Hai was about to make a move, but the man in black spoke up, "Young Master Wang, why are you doing this? If you make a move, whether you win or lose, it won't change anything about '977'. If I wanted to kill your father, I could just give an order and end his life immediately. I think you don't want that."

Upon hearing the man in black's words, Wang Hai became agitated, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?"

“Young Master Wang, I’m only after your money. If you cooperate obediently, I will release your father and reunite you with him. But if you insist on doing something that people don’t like, then I will have to teach you a lesson.”

At this point, Wang Hai suddenly remembered something and pointed at the man in black, saying, "I recognize you. You're Du Chong. You were the one who managed the accounts at our house back then."

The man in black was taken aback upon hearing this: "I didn't expect that you could still recognize my voice after all these years. Young Master Wang, you certainly have a good memory."

"You old scoundrel, you received so many favors from my family back then, how dare you repay kindness with enmity today? Are you even human?"

"Hmph, I did a lot of work for the Wang family when I was with them. The Wang family's current large fortune owes a lot to me, Du Chong. Now that the Wang family has declined, it's natural that they need someone more suitable to manage this wealth."

"Don't worry, once I take control of the Wang family and the people from the Wang family, I will still give them some money so they can live well."

"You're dreaming!"

“Young Master Wang, you seem unaware of the current situation. This is not the time for you to speak here.”

As he spoke, Du Chong clapped his hands, and dozens of men in black surrounded Wang Hai and Fang Yuan.

These people were all holding something that looked like a bamboo tube. Wang Hai recognized it as a highly poisonous hidden weapon called the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles.

One person only needs a bucket of these Rain of Pear Blossom Needles to repel an entire team, let alone so many people here. If he and Fang Yun really wanted to resist, they would probably be riddled with bullets.

Fang Yun noticed this as well, so he remained silent, observing his surroundings.

"Young Master Fang, I've dragged you down this time."

Wang Hai said something apologetically to Fang Yun. In this environment, if either of them dared to waver, they would surely die; no one could escape from such a formation.

"Don't worry, just listen to my orders later."

As he spoke the last word, Fang Yun suddenly threw two smoke grenades from his hand, instantly filling the entire area with white smoke.

To prevent them from firing hidden weapons, Fang Yun grabbed Wang Hai and charged into the group of men in black. Those men, fearing the danger, naturally dared not fire again.

At that moment, Fang Yun also grabbed a few bamboo tubes and fired them directly at Du Chong's location.

Du Chong was also taken aback. Upon seeing the barrage of poisonous needles flying towards him, he quickly drew a black umbrella from beside him. When he opened it, the poisonous needles struck the umbrella, all producing a metallic clang.

It turns out that Du Chong's umbrella was made of steel. Such an umbrella, used to block hidden weapons, was indeed a divine artifact.

Wang Hai hadn't expected to be out of trouble so quickly, but he gritted his teeth and followed Fang Yun, doing whatever Fang Yuan told him to do.

"Young Master Fang, what should we do next?"

Wang Hai didn't know how to respond, so he just looked at Fang Yun to hear his next instructions. Now he was placing all his hopes on Fang Yun.

"Of course we should teach them a lesson."

Fang Yun and his companion were outnumbered and small targets, so hitting them would require aiming and would be difficult. However, the enemy had dozens of people shooting in any direction, and someone was bound to be hit.

Then Fang Yun and his companion launched the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles they had stolen from 1.3 directly into that direction, immediately eliciting a chorus of howls.

"Quickly, all of you get inside the fortress!"

Seeing that many people were injured, Du Chong realized that something was wrong and hurriedly ordered them to hide in the fortress.

The cave had actually been hollowed out by Du Chong and his men, creating a series of empty spaces. From these spaces, one could observe the outside world and launch hidden weapons without anyone noticing.

As long as they don't come out, it's virtually impossible for outsiders to breach them. Such a fortress can only be described as impregnable, and also incredibly difficult to approach.

Chapter 694 Earthquake

This group of men in black were clearly well-trained; upon receiving the order, they immediately retreated back into the cave.

Du Chong stood atop the high mountain, looking coldly at Fang Yun and the other man: "Boy, I must say, you've surprised me greatly, but what's the use of you living like this? On this high ground, I am a god."

"Wang Hai, I heard that you've been doing some things outside all these years, and I heard you've done quite well, but what's the use? Now you still have to obediently kowtow to me here."

"I'll ask you one last time: do you still want to see your father? If you do, put down your weapons and come before me now. Otherwise, you'll never see each other again in your lives."

Hearing these words, Wang Hai wavered and thought of going to Du Chong's place. Fang Yun grabbed him.

"The only reason they want you to go there now is to capture you and then threaten your father to force him to compromise something. So if you go there, their goal will be achieved. But if you don't go, they will be unwilling to give up and will be less likely to harm your father."

"Don't worry, it's been so long and your father is still alive and well. It's because they want to get something from your father, or some secret of your Wang family. They won't kill your father until they get it, because killing your father would mean all their efforts would be in vain."

Wang Hai was jolted awake by Fang Yun's words and immediately froze on the spot.

"So what do we do now? We can't get in, and we can't get out. Are we just going to let them stay trapped inside? If we do that, we won't be able to do anything about them."

"Don't worry, just watch me."

Fang Yun then walked into the nearby woods and surveyed the surrounding terrain.

He discovered that the geological structure here was not very stable, and that Du Chong and his men had actually carved such a large hole in the mountain, leaving it riddled with holes.

Once the structural points are found, breaking through the mountain will make it easy for it to collapse.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun casually picked up a stone and walked to the vicinity of the mountain, tapping and marking many places. Wang Hai was still somewhat confused, but simply followed behind Fang Yun, examining the area.

At this moment, Fang Yun suddenly took out a dozen talismans from his pocket and handed them to Wang Hai.

“Brother Wang, just follow behind me and stick these talismans on all the places I’ve marked.”

Wang Hai didn't think much of it and just followed Fang Yun's instructions to walk forward while he stuck the thing on behind him.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Fang Yun had already made over a hundred more marks on it. Du Chong, standing halfway up the mountain, had been watching their actions with a cold eye.

"Are you two out of your minds? Do you want to blow up this mountain or something?"

Du Chong had no idea what the two were planning to do, but he secretly arranged for some men to attack from the woods behind them.

Once everything is set up, I'll send some men out through the main gate to encircle them from both inside and outside. Then Wang Hai and his companion will have no chance of escape.

However, Fang Yun leisurely had Wang Hai follow him as he arranged these things.

After another incense stick's time, Fang Yun finally clapped his hands. Just as he was about to tell Wang Hai to take a break, a rustling sound came from behind, and dozens of people surrounded them from behind.

Fearing that Fang Yun and his companion might still have unused Rain of Pear Blossom Needles, many people took out a small iron plate.

In this situation, even if Fang Yun had hidden weapons, they wouldn't be able to do anything to them. Under such circumstances, if these people took advantage of the moment when Fang Yun and the others were about to leave, they could simply surround them with iron plates, and Fang Yun would have no way to avoid it and would have no chance of escaping.

977 Just then, Du Chong led his men out from the main gate. There were dozens of them, all standing on high ground looking down at Fang Yun.

"I'm telling you, how much longer are you two going to be so stubborn? I've tolerated you for a long time. If you continue to test my patience, then even if you die here, I'm willing to wait a little longer."

"Are you sure you really have that ability? I advise you to take good care of yourself first."

Upon hearing Fang Yun speak, Du Chong sneered, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed that his feet were shaking for a moment.

Du Chong initially thought it was an illusion, but the tremor grew stronger and stronger. Several men in black standing nearby, who were not paying attention, almost fell to the ground.

"What's going on? Why is the ground shaking?"
