Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 8 Arrival in the New Wei Autonomous Region

Despite Cheng Feng's firm stance, Hu Bayi and his two companions eventually picked up the climbing ropes.

"Remember to stay far away, don't hold me back!"

When the three of them reached the halfway point of the mountain, Cheng Feng shouted something from below.

Fatty Wang was startled and almost lost his footing and fell. He quickly grabbed the rope tightly.

After the three of them had all climbed up, Cheng Feng turned around and looked at the army of fireflies that he had blocked in the cave.

"This won't do. We might end up burying ourselves, just like that little vixen Yang Shirley said!"

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Feng looked at his left hand with a bitter expression.

Then he stepped into the cave, and the fireflies were constantly forced back.

Halfway through the cave, Cheng Feng held Zhanlu horizontally in front of him, and gently wiped the blade with his left hand, causing blood to flow out immediately.

He left a trail of blood on the ground before turning and walking outside.

The fireflies were frantically pacing around, but dared not cross the bloodline even slightly, and were tightly confined inside the cave.

Once outside, Cheng Feng pulled the fuse without hesitation and threw the grenade into the cave.

Cheng Feng then sprinted towards the cliff face, not even bothering to fasten his safety belt, and quickly climbed upwards by grabbing the rope.

Just as Cheng Feng had climbed one-fifth of the way, a deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire rift valley.

The entire cliff face began to shake, but Cheng Feng was prepared and did not panic at all while climbing.

Soon, Cheng Feng used his arm strength to flip himself onto the cliff face.

"Cheng Feng, run!"

Yang Xueli pointed behind Cheng Feng from a distance and shouted loudly.

Cheng Feng turned his head and saw that on the distant high mountains, countless white snowflakes were rushing down like ocean waves. The momentum made Cheng Feng's heart beat faster.

"avalanche!"

The two words instantly struck Cheng Feng's heartstrings, and Cheng Feng then exerted all his strength, speeding through the white snow.

The canyon was now shaking even more violently.

A muffled rumble.

The entire snowfield collapsed instantly, which just happened to intercept the countless snowflakes that were rushing down, giving Cheng Feng ample time to escape.

A few minutes later, Cheng Feng collapsed onto the snow, panting heavily.

"Brother, you're really something. I, Wang Kaixuan, am completely impressed. What happened before was my fault, please don't take it to heart!"

Beside Cheng Feng, all the members of the expedition team stood there without exception.

Fatty Wang sat down in front of Cheng Feng and gave him a thumbs up.

"Don't worry, we're all men. Do you think I'd hold a grudge like a woman?"

"Hey, what do you mean? What's wrong with us women? This is discrimination."

Miss Yang wasn't holding back anymore. After sitting down on the other side of Cheng Feng, she rolled her eyes at him and said...

At this moment, Xiao Chen, who had stayed up above to meet the others, spoke up:

"Let's leave here and rest first. The outpost said that a blizzard is coming soon, so let's go back as soon as possible for safety reasons!"

"Okay, everyone pack up and let's leave right away!"

As he spoke, Hu Bayi stood up and called on everyone to pack up the radio station tent.

The next morning,

The group sat on a train bound for the New Wei region.

Cheng Feng changed into light clothes and carried the Zhanlu sword wrapped with black cloth strips on his back.

Fortunately, they were a legitimate national expedition team; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to bring Zhanlu onto the train!

"Brother Cheng, can I take a look at your greatsword?"

Fatty Wang stared longingly at the sword behind Cheng Feng, but having learned his lesson from last time, he didn't dare to touch it directly.

Cheng Feng glanced at him and said

"Fatty, would you let someone else touch your wife?"

"What are you talking about? Do you expect to spend your whole life with a sword?!"

The fat man rolled his eyes, but also gave up the idea of ​​looking at the sword.

Hu Bayi, who was reading on the upper bunk, couldn't help but chuckle and said:

"Fatty, you don't understand. It's written in the comic books that for a swordsman, the sword in his hand is more important than his wife!"

"Old Hu is a smart man. Fatty, you should read more books!"

As he spoke, Cheng Feng took out Zhanlu, placed it on his knees, untied the cloth strips binding it, and gently wiped it with deerskin.

Professor Chen and the others also inquired about the origin of the sword, and Cheng Feng said that he found it in the Demon Tower.

Hao Aiguo tried to get Cheng Feng to hand over the sword, but Cheng Feng refused without any mercy, showing no leniency whatsoever.

Hao Aiguo, whose face was turning pale, didn't dare to turn hostile, since the only pistol in the team was still on Cheng Feng.

To avoid conflict, and because Professor Chen and his colleagues didn't think the sword was particularly valuable,

This sword doesn't look like it's been through the ages; I thought it was brought in by a previous adventure team.

So the matter of the sword was left unresolved.

The old-fashioned steam train chugged along the railway.

Two days later, in the evening, Cheng Feng and his group finally arrived at the Xinwei Autonomous Region.

This place is at the opposite extreme from the Kunlun Mountains.

Over there, it's covered in ice and snow; here, the sun is blazing.

In just a few minutes, Fatty Wang, this plump man, was already covered in sweat from the sun.

After making inquiries from various sources, the group finally found the only bus that led them to their destination.

Miss Yang, a wealthy woman in the group, used her money to pave the way, chartering the entire car, which made Fatty Wang exclaim that it was corrupt.

"Hey, how far are we from the border town? I'm practically roasted by the sun."

"Fatty, calm down for a bit. Haven't you heard the old saying, 'A calm mind brings coolness'?"

Hu Bayi, looking like a dried-out salted fish, slumped lazily inside the dilapidated bus and said...

Cheng Feng and Yang Xueli sat together with both car windows open, but the wind blowing in felt like a heatwave from an oven.

"Cheng Feng, how did you do that?"

While Cheng Feng listened to Fatty and Hu Bayi chatting idly, Miss Yang beside him asked quietly.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Cheng Feng looked at Miss Yang, who was covered in sweat, with a puzzled expression.

Miss Yang tilted her head slightly and leaned close to Cheng Feng's ear:

"Your blood was shed during the Kunlun Glacier incident, and you haven't even broken a sweat now. Do I need to analyze this further?"

Cheng Feng's lips twitched. He thought to himself that this little vixen was quite observant. His eyes darted around, and a smile flashed in Cheng Feng's eyes.

Then he turned his head casually.

Smack!

Cheng Feng's face was pressed against Miss Yang's lips, and Miss Yang was immediately stunned.

"Oh no, oh no, I'm not pure anymore, Miss Yang! Even if you like me, you can't molest me!"

Cheng Feng grinned slyly, wiping his face as he whispered to Miss Yang.

Yang Xueli stared at Cheng Feng in disbelief with her almond-shaped eyes. This bastard not only took advantage of her, but also turned around and bit her.

"Shameless!"

Gritting her teeth, Yang Xueli spat out two words and angrily turned to look out the window, afraid that if she looked any longer, she would lose her temper and start hitting someone.

The car drove across the desolate sandy land, and just as the fat man was almost cooked through, they finally arrived at their destination.

This is the last small town before entering the desert, and it's also a well-known supply depot.

After asking around, the group carried their luggage to the town's government office.

While Hu Bayi and Fatty were busy looking for a guide, Cheng Feng leisurely strolled around the town.

Since we're here, we should naturally appreciate the local culture and customs, so we can have something to brag about later.
