Tomb Raiding: My Family's Last Clan Chief is Little Brother

Chapter 19 Spirit Blood Protection
"There are so many corpse beetles, they could drown them both. Now that you're blocking our way, what if the corpse beetles come out and attack the nearby villagers after we leave?" Old Master Wu pointed at Wu Xiaoxie's nose and scolded him with exasperation.

The fat man killed the two corpse beetles on his buttocks and walked over to stand in front of the crack. "Don't worry, old man, Muyu and the two brothers are not ordinary people. If anyone dies, they can't die."

Master Wu was so angry that his nose almost twisted. Pan Zi, clutching his wound, also came over and advised, "Master Wu, why don't we wait a little longer? We're already out, so what's a little longer?"

Da Kui stood there silently, but his meaning was clear.

He had seen it clearly before; the Corpse Beetle King was obviously coming for him, but the Wooden Fish Brothers intercepted it halfway, otherwise he would definitely be the one dead now.

Moreover, Da Kui glanced at Master Wu discreetly before quickly lowering his head.

"Fine, you two are so loyal, it makes me, this old man, seem so heartless." Old Master Wu's face darkened for a moment. "Then we'll wait another half hour. Once half an hour is up, it must be burned."

Inside the cave, when the young man found Zhang Wuxun, he discovered that Zhang was sitting cross-legged on the ground, one hand supporting his chin, the other outstretched, with a small red insect nestled obediently in his palm, occasionally twitching its antennae. The man and the insect were getting along very harmoniously.

There was a large black cloth bag next to him. Zhang Wuxun took it out of his spatial storage, otherwise it would be difficult to explain when he went out.

The arrival of the young man startled the little red worm, which flapped its wings and was about to fly up to attack. Zhang Wuxun quickly pressed it down gently with his thumb. "Alright, alright, be good. I have to go now. Go play by yourself."

The little red worm made two "sizzling" sounds and its antennae touched Zhang Wuxun's fingernail.

Zhang Wuxun's eyes curved into a smile as he brought his hand close to the blood-covered corpse's head. "Let's go back."

The little red worm lingered in Zhang Wuxun's palm for a few seconds before slowly burrowing down his fingers into the blood corpse's eye socket.

"Alright." Zhang Wuxun stood up, dusted himself off, picked up the black cloth bag, smiled at the young man, and said, "Let's go."

The young man nodded, glanced at the blood-covered corpse head, and the two returned to the hydra cypress tree.

The carrion beetles at the bottom of the cave have all retreated to their nests.

Zhang Wuxun spotted the purple jade box on the ground with his sharp eyes. "Oh, Fatty didn't take this thing with him."

"Why not pick it up?" Zhang Wuxun walked over, closed the lid, put the purple jade box into his pocket, and carried it on his back for easy climbing.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I wasn't bitten by the Corpse Beetle King?"

The young man remained silent the whole way, but Zhang Wuxun couldn't hold back any longer.

The young man said calmly, "You'll say it when you want to."

Okay, this guy is pretty cute.

Zhang Wuxun clicked his tongue. "Actually, my bloodline isn't pure. Half of me is the ancestral Qilin, just like you. I don't even know what the other half is. When I was a kid, I went down into a tomb with the adults and we encountered the Corpse Beetle King. Out of the twenty people in the team, I was the only one who survived. We were trapped in the ancient tomb for a whole week. That Corpse Beetle King darted around among the heads of the people around me countless times, completely ignoring my existence."

"After that, I found that no matter what kind of snakes, rats, insects, or ants they were, they would basically ignore me when they saw me, which made me quite depressed for a while."

"But you're lucky," Zhang Wuxun joked. "Otherwise, you wouldn't be seeing me today."

The young man remained silent for a long time. Just when Zhang Wuxun thought he would stay silent forever, he suddenly heard him say "hmm".

Zhang Wuxun was stunned for a moment, then immediately burst into laughter.

It's truly rare to hear such a thing from this young man in one's lifetime. The two climbed quickly and soon reached the top of the Nine-Headed Cypress.

As they crawled out of the crack, they were met with Wu Xiaoxie's wide, excited eyes.

"Wooden Fish! Little Brother!" Wu Xiaoxie rushed over and gave Zhang Wuxun a bear hug. "I knew you two wouldn't get into trouble!"

Actually, he originally wanted to pounce on the young man as well, but looking at the young man's indifferent expression, he remembered the coldness when the other party strangled the jade figurine, and he became a little scared.

"Alright, alright, is it really necessary to get so worked up? It's perfectly normal for me to be back safe and sound." Zhang Wuxun patted his back, ripped him off, and looked him up and down, noticing a small bloody gash on his rolled-up trouser leg. "Where else are you hurt?"

Wu Xiaoxie shook his head. "That's it. Fatty's situation is a bit worse than mine."

The fat man chimed in, "Oh, you still remember me, Fatty? I defied all odds and waited for you two while I was injured, but you came right away and started getting all lovey-dovey with Little Innocent, completely ignoring me. Oh, my heart is really ice-cold."

Zhang Wuxun rolled his eyes. "Nobody would listen to your nonsense."

The fat man chuckled twice and reached out to rummage through the bag on Zhang Wuxun's back. "What treasures did you find? Let me, the fat man, take a look."

Zhang Wuxun took the opportunity to unload the black cloth bag and let him carry it, then told the deliveryman to leave.

Free labor is not used in vain.

The fat man lifted it with one hand. "Hmm?"

Why isn't it moving?

Upon opening it, the fat man's eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately called out to Wu Xiaoxie.

"Quick, Little Innocent, come and help! These are all treasures!"

Wu Xiaoxie and Fatty followed behind, huffing and puffing as they carried the bag.

When the four arrived at the previous camp, Wu Sanye was shocked to see Zhang Wuxun and Xiao Ge. He was clearly surprised that the two had returned alive and unharmed.

However, upon seeing the bag in the fat man's hand, Wu Sanye revealed a cunning smile unique to old foxes. "I thought you had lost these two jade bottles. I didn't expect them to still be here."

Zhang Wuxun naturally understood what he meant; he was simply reminding him not to forget the previously agreed-upon 30/70 split.

"Don't worry." Zhang Wuxun took out several boxes of self-heating meals from the tent he had been staying in and distributed them to everyone. "I said everyone gets a share, so I definitely won't go back on my word."

Master Wu smiled and said nothing more.

After finishing their meal and resting for a while, Master Wu asked Da Kui to go and take a look around the crack to see if any corpse beetles had managed to crawl out.

When Da Kui returned and told him that there were indeed no corpse beetles, he gave up his idea of ​​setting the fire.

After resting, everyone returned to the village guesthouse, settled Panzi in the clinic, and after taking a nice bath, went straight to sleep.
