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

Chapter 29 Escaping from the Beast's Mouth
The sea monkey pounded its chest twice and roared twice, seemingly mocking the monkey.

A nameless rage surged within Wu Xiaoxie. He quickly scrambled to his feet, grabbed the earthenware pot that had tripped him, and roared at the sea monkey as he hurled it at him, "You worthless beast, come at me if you dare!"

The sea monkey was momentarily stunned, but quickly realized that it didn't fight back when it saw that the other side had a weapon. Instead, it jumped and climbed to the top of the tunnel.

Wu Xiaoxie's eyes lit up, and taking advantage of the opportunity, he darted into the jade door on the left and quickly pressed the mechanism on the wall, causing the jade door to slowly descend.

Seeing that he had fallen for the trap, the sea monkey became enraged and roared as it charged toward the Jade Gate at an accelerated speed.

Wu Xiaoxie was almost scared to death. He silently counted the time in his mind, and the moment the sea monkey rushed over and reached its claws into the crack in the door, he fired a burst of peanuts at it.

The sea monkey let out a miserable cry and immediately retracted its claws.

The Jade Gate was successfully closed.

Wu Xiaoxie immediately collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, his mind blank, his body drenched in cold sweat.

"This is fucking too exciting."

Meanwhile, Zhang Wuxun was on his side.

After the young man realized that there was only one person in the coffin, he and the fat man sped up their water-scooping.

Soon, the body surfaced.

It turned out to be a large female corpse with twelve hands and twelve feet.

"Ugh~" The fat man turned his face away in disgust, "This is really like rubbing salt into something ugly, it's so awful."

The two men used their clothes as padding to lift the female corpse out, revealing a stone tablet at the bottom of the coffin.

The fat man couldn't figure it out, but then he suddenly remembered Wu Xiaoxie. He turned around and looked, but apart from Zhang Wuxun squatting in the corner, there was no one else there.

"Wooden Fish, stop growing mushrooms in the corner. Where did Little Innocent go? Weren't you two together before?" the fat man asked.

Zhang Wuxun raised his head and glanced at the young man with resentment, then lowered his head again and said dejectedly, "It's lost."

"What the hell?" The fat man was surprised, but seeing that Zhang Wuxun's expression didn't seem like he was joking, he squeezed in and squatted down. "How could such a big person get lost?"

Zhang Wuxun wrinkled his nose in disgust, "You stink so badly! Stay away from me."

The fat man rolled his eyes, saying "What a fuss," but his body betrayed him by moving a little to the side.

"Tell me quickly, how did you lose Xiao Tianzhen?"

Zhang Wuxun then recounted what had happened in Yumen, omitting the part about him rummaging through the treasures and the little brother stopping people.

After hearing this, the fat man slapped his thigh. "What are we going to do? With Xiao Tianzhen's small body, she'd be easily knocked over if she ran into a zombie. Besides, without the door, how are we going to get out?"

The young man glanced at Zhang Wuxun silently and said, "The door will appear by itself when the time comes, there's no use in rushing."

Listen to what he's saying, is he even speaking human language?

Zhang Wuxun glared at him secretly, then tapped the system in his mind.

[Hey, is there any shortcut to get directly to Xiaotianzhen's side? Give me some advice.]
There is a hole under the stone slab inside the coffin for raising corpses; one can enter through it.

Thanks, bro!
Zhang Wuxun was also confused by his concern. In the original plot, the Iron Triangle was also separated by the trap in this way. Although Xiao Tianzhen encountered the sea monkey, he was safe and sound. Fatty and Xiao Ge also followed the tunnel and eventually reunited with him.

I was so caught up in my frustration that I didn't think about this. Thank goodness the system reminded me.

You're welcome. I'll need to borrow your body later.

Zhang Wuxun immediately became alert, "[What do you want to do with my body?]"
The system sound is clear and normal.

[Don't worry, host. It's nothing immoral or unethical, and it won't harm Wu Xie or the others.] [Really? You swear you won't lie.]
【Absolutely true】

The system paused, then added, "[I swear]."

[Okay, how long?]
The system had always been quite friendly to its host, and for some reason, he always had a feeling that the system would not harm him.

【soon】

Zhang Wuxun was a little puzzled. The system didn't seem as formulaic as before. The reply it gave him just now clearly carried a hint of human warmth, albeit very faintly.

How is this going?

Suppressing this doubt in his heart, the priority right now is to find Wu Xiaoxie.

Zhang Wuxun got up, walked around the female corpse on the ground, approached the wooden coffin, stared at the stone slab for a few seconds, picked up the gun that the fat man had put aside, and tapped the stone slab with the muzzle. "The stone slab is hollow underneath."

"Why don't we lift this stone slab up and take a look?" Zhang Wuxun suggested.

The fat guy thought it was feasible, and the young man agreed.

They lit a tinderbox to melt all the pine resin around the stone slab, then moved the slab aside, revealing a large hole underneath.

[Holy crap, you guys are amazing!]
After praising the system in his mind, Zhang Wuxun tried to jump into the hole, but was grabbed by the fat man.

"What are you doing jumping around like that? What if there's danger down there?" The fat man was quite intimidating when he had a stern face.

Unfortunately, Zhang Wuxun wasn't buying it. He pointed to the young man behind him who was crouching down to examine the female corpse, "Look, the real danger is about to begin."

The fat man was startled. "What?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a small white-haired hand suddenly emerged from the woman's belly and tightly gripped the young man's left wrist. It was incredibly strong, and the young man couldn't break free for a while!
"Fuck me!"

The fat man cursed, raised his gun, and fired a burst into the woman's stomach.

Zhang Wuxun also threw out a silver dart, which struck the wrist of the white-haired little hand squarely.

He suspected that this little rice dumpling was the one whose head he had cut off half of before.

The little white-haired rice dumpling let out a shriek, a sound that resembled both a baby's cry and a ghost's wail, piercing the eardrums with pain.

"Jump! This thing is indestructible."

Those attacks were effective; the young man broke free and grabbed the fat man, ready to jump into the cave.

Zhang Wuxun had already shrunk into the hole the moment he threw the silver dart.

The entrance to the cave was dripping sticky, black liquid from corpses, which was disgusting. Anyone of normal size would definitely get smeared on it, so you had to shrink yourself down.

The fat man wanted to refuse, knowing that if he went down there, he would definitely get covered in it. But when he looked back, he saw that the female corpse's belly was so big that it was almost transparent from the little rice dumpling's face, as if it was about to burst out of her mouth at any moment.

"My goodness!"

The fat man let out a strange cry, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and followed the young man inside.

Zhang Wuxun had already climbed through the sloping tunnel, submerged in the water to regain his original size, and swam into the large pool.

By the light of the faint lamps above, I could see a blurry figure underwater, holding something and aiming it into the water.

Thinking something was wrong, he shouted as he emerged from the water, "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! It's me, one of our own!"

Wu Xiaoxie was stunned, and thought to himself, "Holy crap, a wooden fish?"

"It's me, it's me." Zhang Wuxun wiped the water off his face, and as soon as he climbed ashore, a big foot kicked him in the face.
