Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 20 Blood Induction

Since the coffin had been opened, any traps or mechanisms must have been waded through as well.

As Da Pan was thinking this, he leaned over and saw a corpse that looked like it had been scratched through the gap that had been pried open. Just as he was about to push open the coffin lid to take a closer look, his hand was grabbed by Zhang Qiling halfway there.

"Don't move!" Zhang Qiling's gaze was serious. The mechanism inside the stone coffin still had a function. If Da Pan rushed forward like he had just done, he might really be pulled in. So he reminded him, "The real body is below him."

Upon hearing this, Da Pan couldn't help but rub his arm, which had been freed from Zhang Qiling's grasp, before craning his neck to look into the stone coffin.

Sure enough, beneath the mangled corpse lay a hairy, mummified body. One of the mummified body's eyes was blocked by the corpse above it, while the other eye stared blankly at Da Pan, sending chills down one's spine.

Wu Xie's expression stiffened. Judging from the state of the mummified corpse, it was very similar to the description in Grandpa Wu's notes. The most likely explanation was that the process of raising the corpse was interrupted by external force.

Wu Xie swallowed hard, a sense of doubt rising in his heart. What exactly was the purpose of these people coming here? Although their equipment was excellent, they seemed to have underestimated the simplicity of this tomb.

Just as Wu Xie was lost in thought, Wu Sansheng, standing in front of another stone coffin with signs of being opened, said something that baffled the others: "Why isn't the corpse in this coffin wearing pants?"

While Zhang Qiling and the others were checking the situation, Wu Sansheng had Da Kui move the coffin lid of the stone coffin open a crack. So when everyone looked through the crack, what they saw was the corpse of a foreigner covered in blood and not wearing pants.

"Foreigners?" Could they be an overseas tomb raiding gang?

Everyone considered this possibility, but Zhang Qiling thought about it more deeply. He roughly understood why the foreigner's corpse wasn't wearing pants, combining this with the dark blue tail he had seen earlier, and Yan Huai's sudden escape...

If something changes, it will naturally run away; if its pants are torn, it will naturally look for something. It's just that the methods it uses are too clumsy.

Zhang Qiling didn't know how to describe her current emotions. She couldn't say she was worried, since they weren't that close, but she felt that Yan Huai was too dull and there was something off about him.

Meanwhile, Wu Xie was still having a mental brainstorming session (about all sorts of things). When he unconsciously turned his head, he saw Zhang Qiling looking distracted. Just as he was about to ask a question, Da Pan next to him nudged his arm and frantically winked at him.

"What?" Wu Xie asked, looking completely bewildered.

Da Pan winked again, trying to get Wu Xie to notice the shadow on the tomb wall. Wu Xie did turn his head to look, but still looked confused.

Da Pan twitched his palate, suppressing the urge to curse. He leaned close to Wu Xie and whispered, "Third Master, the number of shadows on the wall is wrong."

Wu Xie felt confused, but still scanned the area. One, two, three... six, there were definitely six people! Wait a minute! Brother Yan is gone, so whose is this sixth shadow!?

"Third Uncle..." Wu stared at the large and strange shadow on the wall, unconsciously moving closer to Wu Sansheng.

"Panzi!" Wu Sansheng pulled Wu Xie back and winked at Da Pan. The latter nodded and then put his hand on his lower back.

With everything ready, Wu Sansheng decisively shone his miner's lamp over, only to see a fat man with a large earthenware pot on his head. Just as he was about to speak to stop him, it was too late; the bullet from Da Pan's gun had already been fired.

wow-

The sound of the jar shattering followed the gunshot, and then the fat man's terrified screams.

"Holy shit! You're killing someone!"

Wang Pangzi thought that as long as he left quietly, nothing would happen. Even if he was discovered, as long as these people weren't like the pervert he had just seen, it wouldn't be difficult for him to save his life with his silver tongue. But to his surprise, these people opened fire without saying a word!

Now, having a tongue won't help anymore, so let's run for our lives!

Wang Pangzi hurriedly dropped the handles from both sides of the pottery jar, turned around and ran in the direction that Wu Sansheng and his group had come from. Zhang Qiling's expression changed when he saw this, and he said that he couldn't let him go to the tomb chamber from before. However, before he finished speaking, he had already chased after him like a gust of wind.

The group remained where they were, exchanging bewildered glances. Wu Sansheng's eyes lit up, and he realized this was a good opportunity for Wu Xie to practice. He had left a mark on that person along the way, so that person must have already entered the ancient tomb. He thought it best to deal with the troublesome person around him first, and then come back to find Wu Xie to go out together.

Wu Sansheng had a good plan, but he overlooked one thing: Yan Huai.

After activating his bloodline perception ability, Yan Huai felt he didn't even need to draw black lines on his face anymore—it was just too chaotic! Gold, red, black, cyan... which one was the one he was looking for?!

"Host, the closer you are to what you are looking for, the stronger the senses will be."

"Bloodline connection has north and south, which way should I go first?" Yan Huai squatted at the crossroads of fate, frowning.

"Please trust your intuition, host."

Well said.

Yan Huai sighed. Among these bloodline intuitions, there must be one that belongs to Zhang Qiling. He is in the south, so it will be one of the gold, red, or black bloodline intuitions. In the north, there are five red bloodline intuitions and one cyan bloodline intuition. Based on his intuition, Yan Huai would naturally choose the cyan one.

The "Azure" in Azure Dragon represents green, and the scabbard of Yan Huai's Branding Blade is also green, as is the tail that he didn't want to face before... So let's try our luck in the north!

After passing through the maze-like passage, Yan Huai followed the blue bloodline to a tomb chamber with its doors wide open. The chamber was silent, but the eternal lamps were burning brightly, and it seemed that the person who went in had left.

Yan Huai raised his hand and gripped the branding knife behind his back, lowered his eyes slightly, and stepped forward into the tomb chamber.

boom--

Gunshots rang out, and Yan Huai quickly drew his knife. As the bullet grazed the blade, the Branding Blade emitted a buzzing sound, but showed no sign of vibration.

Yan Huai caught a glimpse of the person who fired the shot out of the corner of his eye. Like Yin Lan, it was a woman. She fired several more shots until Yan Huai disappeared behind the central stone pillar in the tomb chamber.

"Who are you?" A Ning stood up from behind the altar and slowly approached, stopping about three meters away from Yan Huai.

"I got separated from my companions. I meant no harm," Yan Huai said, pursing his lips.

"What are you doing here?"

"Find the way!"

After Yan Huai finished speaking, he heard a cold laugh from behind him. Clearly, the woman didn't believe him.

"leave here!"

Yan Huai was stunned. Had he heard correctly? He was just being let go like that?

"Then, don't shoot." Leaving is out of the question; he's going to get through here!

"Okay!" Ah Ning narrowed her eyes, gripped the gun tightly, and steadily aimed at the central stone pillar. "I won't fire!"
