The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Rumors of treasures circulating about places like this are hard to say, but whether there are any treasures inside is anyone's guess. Moreover, judging from what this woman said, the cave is probably very difficult to find, or rather, very difficult to enter. After going through so much trouble, he still doesn't know what's inside. Fang Yun is not about to do such a thing.

Besides, Fang Yun has important matters to attend to right now, and he'll have to wait until he gets Wang Xiaoyan's attention.

Once Ya finds them, they will return immediately.

"What's wrong with you two? Stop right there! I've kindly told you something so important, and you're just going to leave like this?"

The woman in black robes clearly hadn't expected Fang Yun and his companion to refuse. In her mind, all four of them should have shown interest in the treasure. Why did these two seem so indifferent?

“Girl, you go do it yourself. We have other things to do too. We don’t even know each other, so why bother each other? If you really need to find someone, you can go to town.”

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he prepared to leave Bu.

Chapter 728 The Woman in Black Robes

The woman in black was about to try again to keep Fang Yun and the other person there to help her when she noticed some movement coming from not far away.

"Someone?"

The group all had very keen senses of smell and quickly noticed something was wrong, turning their heads to look at the scene.

The assassin reappeared less than half a mile away from them.

At this moment, Fang Yun finally saw the assassin's appearance clearly. She was wearing a short red robe with gold trim and fast boots. She looked very energetic.

Her face was very fair, with a sharp, oval shape. A smile appeared on her face as she looked at the people opposite her with her big eyes.

"Since she's so arrogant, isn't she afraid we'll go and arrest her?"

As an assassin himself, Wang Hai naturally knew some of the taboos and precautions an assassin should take. The most important thing was never to expose oneself to the enemy, especially not at such close range.

From this position, Fang Yun, the woman in black robes, and even himself could approach her with maximum burst speed and then engage her in combat.

If an assassin lacks the ability to fight head-on, being approached like this is extremely dangerous. Therefore, this woman is quite daring.

"Well, this little thief from Xin Qin dares to appear so openly in front of me. Isn't that taunting me?"

The woman in black was furious, clearly very dissatisfied with the female assassin's actions. If the assassin had been hesitant and afraid to show herself, the woman in black might have thought herself stronger, but now she only saw utter mockery in the assassin's eyes.

As for Fang Yun, he didn't really care about the assassin's identity. However, it was a sensitive time, and he couldn't figure out the relationship between Wang Xiaoya and that sect. The assassin had arrived suddenly right after they went down the mountain, so Fang Yun had to find out the assassin's background first.

If it was sent by those people from the sect, then who exactly was it? Was it one of the gatekeeper disciples, or the man surnamed Xu who asked me to wait for someone in the town?

Knowing the story behind this is crucial.

"You two stay where you are, I'm going to grab her."

Fang Yun said coldly to the two of them. Wang Hai was about to nod when the woman in black robes said, "What do you mean by telling us not to move you here? Why can't you wait here and I go?"

"Didn't you chase that person for so long before? You still haven't caught up with her. Do you think you can catch up with her now? What if she gets away again? Don't say I didn't help you."

The woman in black robes was taken aback by his words, and then could only shut her mouth in a daze. She did dislike Fang Yun's tone, but compared to that, she hated the female assassin in black robes even more.

"Alright, then go ahead. We'll wait here. If you fail to catch it, don't blame me for scolding you."

Fang Yun ignored him and moved a few steps toward the assassin. However, fearing that the assassin might alert him and run away, Fang Yun moved very slowly.

Meanwhile, the woman in black robes cleverly began to speak, attempting to distract the other woman.

"You little thief, look this way! Why don't you come over here? I'm right here, and I have plenty of jewelry and other rare items on me. If you're so capable, come and take them. I'll stand here and see how you manage to get away with it."

Although the woman in black robes said that, the female assassin opposite her clearly knew that there were many people around, so she didn't rush over directly.

However, the black-robed woman's words successfully distracted the female assassin. At that moment, Fang Yun swiftly rushed towards the female assassin.

Within such a short distance, Fang Yun could teleport directly to the female assassin's side at an extremely fast speed.

Indeed, Fang Yun was standing behind the female assassin just a few seconds later, and the female assassin seemed completely unaware of his presence.

Wang Hai, on the other hand, remained calm, seemingly unfazed. The woman in black, however, couldn't help but gape in astonishment.

"Looks like you're not so great either," the woman in black said sarcastically.

Meanwhile, Fang Yun sensed something was amiss, because the person before him seemed slightly different from the one he had seen before. Her posture was rather stiff, lacking the previous fluidity.

At that moment, Fang Yun's hand landed on the female assassin's shoulder, intending to capture her.

However, in the blink of an eye, the female assassin vanished into a cloud of smoke.

"How is this going?"

A look of disbelief also appeared in Fang Yun's eyes.

Chapter 729 Chase Through the Woods

Of course, it wasn't just the black-robed woman on Fang Yun's side who had been watching this side; Wang Hai also widened his eyes, looking at this side with great disbelief.

They had all been watching this place closely without moving. How could this female assassin have split herself off and escaped? They had no way of noticing.

If he can manage to escape even when the truth is out in the open, then his assassination skills are truly terrifying.

As for Wang Hai, he felt it was somewhat impossible. If she really possessed that level of skill, then this female assassin's Assassin's Manual would only be higher than his, not lower.

“I understand. This person never showed their true form from the very beginning. The first person we saw was a fake; it was just a smokescreen.”

The woman in black stomped her feet in anger, never expecting to be outmaneuvered by that female assassin so quickly.

Just then, a laugh came from behind the woman in the black robe.

"Miss Liu is quite clever, you noticed it so quickly, but it's too late now."

Just then, a laugh came from behind the woman in black. The woman in black turned around and saw a figure that was already dozens of meters away from her.

The woman in black then discovered that the cord on one of the ornaments on her belt had been cut. The female assassin then took the ornament out and waved it in front of her a few times.

The woman in black robes was furious and wanted to give chase, but Fang Yun arrived just in time.

"You don't need to go. You won't catch up with him even if you chase him like this. He knows your movements and how to evade your pursuit, so it's pointless. Even if you chase him, you'll only be wasting your energy."

The woman in black, though somewhat displeased by Fang Yun's words, was deflated. She had been chasing the female assassin for a long time without success, which left her extremely frustrated.

"Alright, stop talking. You act like you're so great. You didn't succeed just now either, did you? You got tricked by them. If you really have the ability, then help me catch that person. If you can do it, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

The woman in black clasped her hands in a fist salute.

Fang Yun didn't say much. Even if the woman in black didn't say anything, he was determined to catch that person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to rest easy.

Being unfamiliar with this place and not knowing much about that sect, if I just let them come and bully me like this, it will only embolden them.

Therefore, as the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." Fang Yun's most urgent task now is to find out the woman's identity.

"Come on, I just saw her go into that grove of trees. Let's go and surround it."

Fang Yun glanced at Wang Hai, and then the two walked into the woods.

This time, Fang Yun planned to use a pincer attack, searching from the front himself while Wang Hai would quietly slip behind to block the female assassin's escape route.

In this way, even if the female assassin uses a fake body to deceive Fang Yun again, she can be caught by Wang Hai, who is patrolling behind her.

As expected, the female assassin wanted to obtain more treasures from the woman in black, and she has not left the forest yet.

From a distance, Fang Yun could also see a woman's figure wandering in the nearby woods.

This person was incredibly fast, moving like a rabbit, and in no time he had already darted past the treetops of several trees.

This is something most people can only dream of, something impossible to catch up with. But in Fang Yun's eyes, this person's speed had been slowed down many times over, so he didn't need to exert much effort.

What worries Fang Yun even more now is that this person seems to have many ways to escape, and he cannot figure them all out in a short time. He can only try and fail slowly.

Meanwhile, Wang Hai had already disappeared into the deep forest. Wang Hai was originally known as an assassin, and now he had reached his specialty. As long as Wang Hai was determined to stay in this forest, he would be able to remain focused and undetected, and it would be very difficult for anyone to find him.

Therefore, Fang Yun doesn't need to worry about what escape method this person is using. He just needs to find him and then force her to retreat.

If the female assassin uses those escape methods again, she will inevitably expend some energy. At that point, catching her will be much easier.

Meanwhile, the female assassin seemed to have discovered Fang Yun's presence. However, she clearly did not intend to confront Fang Yun directly. As Fang Yun took a few steps forward, the female assassin also took a few more steps forward.

In this way, the distance between the two remained within a reasonable range, which was considered a safe zone for the assassin.

Chapter 730 Cave Siege

This time, Fang Yun was attacked from both sides, and they really put in a lot of effort.

It can be said that he was very attentive to every detail, so he could be confident in himself and not let the female assassin escape from somewhere else.

Meanwhile, Wang Hai also ventured into the deep forest. Given Wang Hai's keen senses, he shouldn't have let this female assassin escape right under his nose.

Sure enough, under the two men's pursuit, the female assassin eventually disappeared into a cave in the forest.

This is a mountain wall beside a forest. The mountain isn't very high, and Fang Yun could tell at a glance that the cave inside wasn't very deep; it was probably just a shallow cave.

If that's the case, if someone hides inside, they're practically trapped. If the space inside is large, they might be able to play cat and mouse with the people outside, but if it's small, the people outside could use smoke and fire therapy to force the person inside to come out.

"Come out, young lady. We mean you no harm. We just want to ask you a few questions."

At this moment, Fang Yun also walked to the outside of the cave and called out into it.

He didn't want to do anything to harm the female assassin; he just wanted to get to the bottom of things so that he wouldn't have this lingering worry in his mind.

"If you don't come out soon, I'll have to resort to special measures. Don't blame us for bullying you then. If you hadn't insisted on provoking us, we wouldn't be in such a passive position today."

After Fang Yun finished speaking, there was still no movement inside. Then Fang Yun gave Wang Hai a wink, and Wang Hai nodded and went to pick up the firewood from the side.

Then they piled the collected dry branches at the entrance of the cave. If they lit these dry branches, the smoke would surely drive the people inside out.

Fang Yun didn't expect that he could just shout a few words and make that person obediently come out. People are always like that, they won't shed tears until they see the coffin, so Fang Yun decided to teach him a lesson first.
