The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

After all, he was not the controller of these insects, so they would naturally attack indiscriminately without his control. Once he understood this, he could directly direct the insects to the instigator.

"You little bastard, how could you be so vicious!"

Bai Poshan was furious, but the insect was extremely fast and soon it pounced on him. In such a short time, he didn't have time to think about anything else and just tried his best to run away.

However, he was already covered in that medicine, and no matter where he ran, the insects followed him closely.

On the contrary, Fang Yun was simply on a necessary route, and with a stronger attraction, these insects naturally all followed Bai Poshan.

The onlookers, witnessing this scene, could only exclaim in admiration.

Originally, it was thought that Fang Yun would not be able to escape today and would only die inside. However, unexpectedly, Fang Yun was able to survive. Not only did he fight his way out, but he also managed to get Bai Poshan into a cage. In that case, there was no need to seek revenge now.

Now, everyone's attention returned to Bai Poshan, but this time it wasn't with fear as before, but with a sense of anticipation.

Bai Poshan's previous terrifying methods had made everyone feel uneasy, but seeing him being chased by insects like a stray dog ​​now filled them with a sense of satisfaction.

On this side, Bai Poshan stumbled and staggered all the way, running ahead with all his might. Although he had initially pulled ahead, he had to stop and catch his breath along the way. But in that short time, the insects swarmed back tirelessly, and Bai Poshan had no choice but to run again.

As he ran, Bai Poshan angrily cursed Fang Yun.

If Fang Yun hadn't pulled this stunt, how could I have ended up in such a sorry state?

Because of a momentary lapse in concentration, several insects crawled up his trouser leg. Bai Poshan was in pain and could only stomp his feet frantically to shake the insects off.

But doing so would be futile.

These insects are far more formidable than he could deal with by simply shaking his foot.

Chapter 760 Utter Defeat

Under such an offensive, Bai Poshan did not hold out for long before his defenses were almost breached.

Although he has spent his whole life dealing with these insects, when they actually pounce on him, he has no way to stop them.

Just as Fang Yun was about to capture him, Bai Poshan suddenly turned around and gave Fang Yun a vicious look.

"Good lad, I've fallen into your trap this time, but don't forget I'll be back to settle the score with you later."

At this point, Bai Poshan suddenly showed a resolute look on his face and fiercely cut a gash on his wrist with a dagger.

Immediately, a stream of bright red blood flowed from his wrist. Just then, Bai Foshan took out a talisman from his pocket, and after soaking it in blood, Bai Foshan's entire appearance changed.

Suddenly, his face turned deathly pale, but his speed increased dramatically at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before long, Bai Poshan had already fled several miles away.

The onlookers were stunned by what they saw. They never expected that Bai Poshan would have such a trump card under such circumstances. No wonder he was so arrogant before. Even if he encountered a powerful opponent, he could escape with such a secret technique without any worries.

However, judging from Bai Poshan's performance, it is clear that using such a secret technique would inevitably cause great damage to the body.

Once Bai Poshan had gone far away, the scent of the bait on his body naturally dissipated into the air, and the insects that had followed him suddenly lost their way.

Some insects scattered and fled, while others were attacked and gradually eliminated by the surging crowd. They did not emerge from the ground again.

The power of these insects lies in their sheer number and endless supply. Now that the source has been cut off and they are no longer flooding in, it will be relatively easy for them to be eliminated by the crowd.

Fang Yun sighed softly upon seeing this; what he had witnessed today had truly broadened his horizons.

He then returned to his original spot and looked at the woman again.

It turned out that the woman's aura seemed to have disappeared, and when you touched her skin, you felt that she was completely cold.

This woman had only briefly enhanced her strength using forbidden techniques. Now that her strength was suppressed, her blood and qi were insufficient, causing her meridians to reverse, which led to her sudden death.

Fang Yun was originally troubled about how to deal with the woman, but now that she was dead, he no longer needed to worry about it.

"Who among you is willing to do me a favor? Please bury this woman's body properly."

As he spoke, Fang Yun took some money out of his pocket and threw it there.

Upon hearing this, many people said, "How could this young master possibly accept your money? If it weren't for you being here today, these men would have killed us all. We should be thanking you."

"That's right, young master, you're too kind. If you ever need our help in the future, just let us know, and we'll never refuse."

These people weren't stupid; they naturally knew that Fang Yun's ability to defeat them was nothing short of astonishing. Moreover, Fang Yuan looked very young, with a limitless future ahead of her. If they didn't cultivate a good relationship now, when would they?

"Alright, thank you all for your help. I, Fang Yun, will take note of it today. If there is an opportunity in the future, I would like to share a drink with you all."

After saying that, Fang Yun left the spot and disappeared into the air.

Fang Yun knew that if he didn't leave now, these people would probably invite him for drinks, and he wouldn't be able to refuse them all. So it was better to just leave and leave the place empty.

On the other side, Wang Hai had just fainted due to some injuries. After being carried by Fang Yun, the two found another inn to stay at.

The previous place was too conspicuous, and many people already knew Fang Yun's identity. Staying there any longer would probably not be appropriate.

After Wang Hai settled in, he looked at Fang Yun with a hint of apology on his face: "Young Master Fang, I haven't been of much help this time, and I'm really sorry that you had to take care of me."

Wang Hai still felt somewhat guilty, after all, he was the one who dragged Fang Yun here this time, and Fang Yun originally had no reason to come to this place.

Moreover, if I could handle these things myself, it would be fine, but I didn't expect to need Fang Yun to save me time and time again. It really makes me feel ashamed.

"Now that I've come here with you, I've already made these plans. You don't need to say anything more. There's no need for formalities between us."

Fang Yun waved his hand, not taking the matter to heart.

Chapter 761 Ancient Tomb in the Suburbs

The next morning, Fang Yun got out of bed very early.

He had not forgotten the purpose of his visit.

Although the main purpose of this operation was to rescue Wang Hai's sister, he had another objective.

The reason this city could be built deep in the mountains is not only because it is located in a place where people gather, but also because of another very important reason.

Because many places in the surrounding mountains are buried and protected, it can be said to be a large ancient tomb complex.

Therefore, before this city was built, many people came here because they wanted to dig for some treasures.

Of course, these ancient tombs are very difficult to find; many people may never find one, even in their entire lives. But over time, as more and more people came, and many became so enthusiastic about settling there, the prototype of the city that later became known as 047 gradually took shape.

Just as Fang Yun was sitting in the lobby of the inn, having ordered a cup of tea and preparing to go out and take a look, several people carrying long swords suddenly walked out from outside.

"Boss, quickly bring us a pot of iced tea. We're all dying of thirst, if we don't drink some water soon..."

As soon as these people entered the guest hall, Fang Yun immediately focused his attention on them.

Although it was only morning, these people were already heavily covered in sweat. Fang Yu could also see that they all had traces of mud on their bodies.

It is clear that these people had traveled through the mountains, or had been to places where soil had accumulated.

“I think Mr. Zhou is being too demanding. We’ve been working day and night for so many days, and he won’t even let us ask for an advance on our salary. On the other hand, he wants us to find him more people. Tell me, why should we continue working for him?”

Suddenly, a man slammed his longsword on the table. His face was filled with righteous indignation, clearly showing his dissatisfaction with the young master Zhou he had mentioned.

Upon hearing this person speak, the others glanced nervously to the side before staring coldly at the man.

"I mean, why don't you keep quiet about things like this? It's fine for us to talk about it privately, but what if someone overhears us saying it here?"

The man had been reprimanded and clearly realized his mistake. He stopped talking and simply poured himself a cup of cold tea.

Although these people lowered their voices, their dialect was still very clear, and their conversation could be heard.

"Young Master Zhou has really struck it rich this time. I wonder how much reward money he'll give us in the end?"

Then someone couldn't help but ask a question.

"Let's not be too disappointed. Don't you know what kind of person this young master Zhou is? Although he is very wealthy, he is not generous to outsiders at all. We have done so much for him, and in the end, he will probably only give us some of the money we agreed on before."

"Then why should we work for him? Now that we know about that place, wouldn't it be better for us to work secretly on our own than to work for him? If we could just find a few items there, wouldn't that guarantee us a life of wealth and luxury for the rest of our lives?"

As soon as someone said that, they were immediately silenced by someone next to them.

"Why can't you keep your mouth shut? If we were capable, we would have done it already. Don't you know who Young Master Zhou is? If he found out that we were secretly plotting something, he would skin us alive."

Hearing this, although the words were unpleasant, a clear look of regret appeared on their faces. Clearly, the fear this young master Zhou instilled in them was far stronger than their greed for the money.

Not long after, the group settled their bill hastily and left.

Fang Yun sat at his desk, his mind filled with a multitude of thoughts.

And who exactly is this Young Master Zhou that these people are talking about?

Fang Yun then quietly followed behind these people, wanting to find out what was going on.

The group was very cautious, carefully choosing to walk in less crowded areas after leaving the inn. They then went to a blacksmith shop and bought a batch of hoes, which they then wrapped in cloth.

In the end, these people hired a horse-drawn carriage from the market and headed out of the city.

Fang Yun followed them at a leisurely pace. Although the carriage wasn't moving fast, Fang Yun wasn't in a hurry and maintained a safe distance throughout.

Once outside the city, the mountain roads became noticeably bumpier, and the carriage slowed down again. The people were very vigilant, constantly glancing around. Fortunately, there was plenty of vegetation, and Fang Yun, using the terrain for cover, managed to keep up steadily and didn't lose them.

After traveling for about half a day, the carriage ahead slowed down, seemingly approaching its destination.

Chapter 762 Young Master Zhou

Before Fang Yun could even walk over, he could hear a man's cursing coming from afar.

Fang Yun found a secluded spot, hid behind a rock, and then quietly peeked out to look in that direction.

Not far away, a young man dressed in a brocade robe was standing in front of a cave dwelling. Beside him were several men dressed as servants.

As for why the young man was cursing, it seems it was because a man carrying a hoe in front of him accidentally dug in the dirt.

"You all better watch yourselves. This ancient tomb is more important than your lives. If you accidentally bump into it and break any treasures, you'll have to pay with your lives."
