Ancient tomb excavation traces

I had utter contempt for Youchi. As he ran out, Xiao Ba kicked him in the back. Caught off guard, Youchi fell face-first into the mud. Seeing the countless corpses on the ground, some still baring their mouths as if biting him, he immediately jumped up in fright. Seeing this, I rushed over and grabbed him as he tried to escape. Xiao Ba said angrily, "Damn it, we're fighting a bloody battle here, and this madman, even in his madness, knows the situation is dangerous and hides in the shadows."

Seeing that Xiao Ba and I had subdued the threat, Bao Cai hurriedly ran over with the little fire monkey in his arms. The little fire monkey hissed at You Chi in Bao Cai's arms. When Bao Cai saw that it was You Chi, his courage, which had been cut off, was put back on. He said irritably, "After all that fuss, I wondered who it was. It turns out to be this crazy little fool."

Seeing Yuchi's hair covered in blood, looking neither human nor ghost, I breathed a sigh of relief. Meeting Yuchi was better than meeting his father, Turan.

"What do we do now? This idiot runs around recklessly when he gets agitated. I think we should just tie him up. If Turan shows up and really causes us trouble, we might be able to use him," Xiao Ba suggested.

I nodded and said, "Although this guy is annoying, since he's shown up again, we have to find a way to get him out of here. To prevent him from running around, let's tie him up for now."

As we were talking, I handed Youchi over to Xiaoba and bent down to search the tattered clothes on the mummified corpses. Suddenly, Youchi seemed to be stimulated by something and yelled "Ah!" He broke free from Xiaoba, ran ahead, and fell to the ground.

He had seen the dead Lisanna. I had almost forgotten that this venomous snake was Lisanna's brother. Seeing his sorrowful and pained expression, I couldn't bear it. I went to his side and, regardless of whether he was insane, tried to comfort him, saying, "The dead can't be brought back to life, don't be too sad..." Before I could finish the word "too," a sharp pain shot through my abdomen. I frowned, looked down in shock, and saw a sharp, bird-patterned dart embedded in my body. Blood instantly stained the area. I stared in disbelief at his blood-soaked face, which wore a sinister smile. "You...you..."

Yu Chi grinned wickedly, his bloodshot eyes fixed on me with a triumphant look. "Fool? Heh... You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this day." Yu Chi's voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from between his teeth.

Xiao Ba, Bao Cai, and I, like everyone else, hadn't been on guard against You Chi, who was grieving over his sister's death. But seeing the look in his eyes and my trembling back, they realized something was wrong. Xiao Ba, in the distance, called out anxiously, "Young Master?"

I staggered back a step, and the demon who was pretending to be crazy suddenly turned me around. He grabbed my neck, forcibly tore the cloth bag containing the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl from my waist and stuffed it into his tattered clothes. Then he held the hidden weapon that was faintly gleaming coldly against my chest.

Pain cloudes one's consciousness, but at this moment, the truth of some things is crystal clear. We have clearly discussed these truths before, but they have all been glossed over because of Yu Chi's superb acting skills—he killed Yin Shi, this wicked villain who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals and would even point a knife at his own heart.

I remember being confused when we were hiding with him in the crevice. I was very worried that he was mentally unstable and would cause us trouble. But apart from making a few noises, he was mostly quiet. Also, I remember listening to us talk with a strange expression and looking at the little Taoist priest. As for what Xiao Ba said earlier, I didn't take it seriously. Now that I think about it, how many mentally ill people would consciously hide when faced with various dangers?

I underestimated someone who would self-harm. Lisanna's words, "Watch out for me..." probably meant to warn her scheming brother. I regretted my carelessness; the pain in my abdomen spread, causing me to twitch a few times.

Xiao Ba and Bao Cai called my name anxiously and warned You Chi not to do anything rash, but this vicious little man wanted to get away unscathed and would certainly not let me go as a hostage.

I struggled to follow him step by step. The young Taoist priest saw my predicament and ended the fight early, coming towards me. As a result, the ancestor and Chen Tianzhou were distracted.

Through my hazy peripheral vision, I saw that while the Ancestor was distracted, he had fallen victim to the Grand Preceptor's underhanded trick, and flames had engulfed him. I was worried, but powerless to break free from You Chi and rush to the Ancestor to extinguish the flames. I could only murmur, "Don't worry about me... don't worry about me!"

The hidden weapon that killed Yinshi had a barb, and the condensed pain surged like a tidal wave. The burning sensation on his body gradually intensified. Youchi warned everyone not to get close. He was very close to the stairs, but half of the stairs were broken, and he could not get away for the time being.

I felt utter contempt for him, and despite the excruciating pain, I said, "You've really hidden it well... Your sister is dead now, and you haven't shed a single tear..."

Yu Chi sneered dismissively, "This kind of traitor deserves to die!"

Hearing such heartless words, he couldn't hide his indignation: "Serves you right? When you were injured... how worried she was, but what about you? She's dead... and you still say such cruel things. Are you even human? Just for the treasure of this ancient tomb, you're reduced to this?"

"Ha, fallen from grace?" You Chi sneered, his contemptuous tone: "You lot followed Gu Xiu's descendants here, weren't you also after some wealth and power? Our tribe was wiped out by his ancestor, a few were lucky enough to survive, and after learning the truth, we were bound to seek revenge. It all started because of this tomb, and it will end here as well. This is what that damned Suo Pi owes us! All the treasures here, including the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, belong to us. Our ancestors died unjustly because of this place! Tell me! Why should these treasures be seized by you outsiders! So you all deserve to die!"

Yu Chi grew increasingly agitated, his grip on the dagger tightening, driving it deeper into my flesh. I groaned in pain, my lips trembling as I replied with disdain, "Soppi...Soppi once said the Second Prince was a demon lord, but now...now it seems the real demons are you bunch of walking corpses adrift in the human world. You're different from the descendants of the Gu family. You only pursue treasure, for profit and money, while...while the Gu family is trying to save themselves. Compared to you, your family is far more disgusting. Your ancestor An Gui, to protect the secret, remained silent about the ancient tomb under duress. To protect the tribe, he finally revealed the secret. But you...you use the tragic deaths of your ancestors as a lame excuse, it's truly despicable!"

"Heh, say whatever you want. Anyway, I've already obtained the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, the most precious treasure in the world. And... I almost forgot to mention..." He chuckled sinisterly, "While your camels were scattering and fleeing, my father had already found them..."

When Youchi said that, my heart tightened. Finding the camel meant that they had obtained another item—the Dust-Avoiding Pearl!

I like tomb raiding.
