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

Chapter 35 A Fierce Battle

Zhang Wuxun silently retreated to the fat man's side, made a shushing gesture, then took out a lighter from his backpack, lit it less than half a meter away from Wu Xiaoxie, and waved it at the Forbidden Woman.

The hair that was near the fire instantly retracted.

The forbidden woman was afraid of fire; whenever Zhang Wuxun got a little closer, she would retreat a little.

Finally, unable to withstand it any longer, it vanished in a flash.

Wu Xiaoxie immediately collapsed, panting heavily, "Damn it, that scared me to death."

The fat guy behind them looked completely bewildered. "What the heck? What are you two doing?"

Wu Xiaoxie was terrified and stammered, "There was a ghost, a female ghost, with really long hair. She was just in my arms, and she... she even tried to kiss me. Muyu must have seen it too, right, Muyu?"

Zhang Wuxun nodded, his smile carrying a hint of malice.

The fat man exclaimed "Whoa!" and chuckled wickedly, "Little Innocent, you're quite the ladies' man! Even in the tomb, ghosts come throwing themselves at you."

Wu Xiaoxie was so angry that he cursed, "Pah! Do you want this good fortune or not?"

The fat man laughed gleefully, but then noticed that Zhang Wuxun was staring intently behind him, and his expression seemed a little off.

The fat man's smile froze. "Wooden...wooden fish, is that ghost still here?"

Zhang Wuxun stared at the old woman who was clinging to the fat man's back, trying to minimize her presence. A dangerous smile appeared on his lips as he said in a gloomy voice, "Yes, she's right on your back."

The fat man roared and swung his fist, hitting the old woman squarely on her swollen, pale face, which was soaked in water, leaving a dent.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Wuxun pulled out a tinderbox, lit it, and threw it over. As soon as the old woman touched the flame, she screamed and flung her exaggeratedly thick hair back three meters away.

To be honest, this old hag's beautiful hair is truly enviable. Why not grab one and study it to see if we can find some hair growth secrets to save hundreds of millions of bald compatriots? Then he could just lie down and sleep in a pile of money.

Zhang Wuxun's thoughts involuntarily veered off course.

Wu Xiaoxie exclaimed in surprise, overjoyed, "Holy crap, the tinderbox works! This thing is afraid of fire, quickly light it and throw it at it!"

After a flurry of activity, the group successfully forced the Forbidden Woman to retreat to a corner and disappear.

The fat man wiped the sweat from his brow and panted, "Isn't this the thing we bumped into behind the stone slab when we first went to sea? What's it called again? The Forbidden Woman, right?"

“Yes,” Zhang Wuxun replied with a grin, “Doesn’t she look exactly like your dream goddess? Skin as white as snow, black hair and red lips, only her features are a bit rough. But fair skin covers a hundred flaws, so just bear with it.”

"Pah!" Both Fatty and Wu Xiaoxie had unpleasant expressions on their faces, looking extremely disgusted.

The young man raised his hand to stop the three men's nonsense. Looking at the old woman in the distance, who was still eagerly and somewhat dazedly looking at a row of tinderboxes, he said, "Hurry up, the tinderboxes won't hold us back for long."

Zhang Wuxun reached into his backpack as cover, then took out a dozen or so tinderboxes and a small bottle of liquor from his storage space, and handed them to Wu Xiaoxie and the others, saying, "Quick, sprinkle them on and we'll leave."

The fat man exclaimed in disbelief, "Why are you bringing so many tinderboxes into the tomb? And liquor too?"

“That’s what you call being prepared.” Zhang Wuxun aimed at the direction of the forbidden woman and threw the liquor at her with force.

The glass bottle shattered, and all the wine inside spilled out, filling the passageway with the aroma of evaporating alcohol.

"Retreat quickly, I'll cover the rear." Wu Xiaoxie and the others had already placed lit tinderboxes at intervals in the passage. Zhang Wuxun waved his hand, and Xiao Ge led them to retreat quickly.

Once Zhang Wu found that they had retreated to a safe place, he lit the last tinder in his hand and threw it at the alcohol.

With a loud bang, flames shot up instantly, forming a wall of fire.

Zhang Wuxun raised his hand, made a "bye-bye" gesture to the old woman who was running away with her head in her hands over the fire wall, and left with the words "see you again" before quickly rushing over to meet up with Xiao Ge and the others.

The group quickened their pace and continued forward, climbing along the zigzag passage for more than ten minutes.

The guy in front stopped, turned around, and said, "There's no road."

Zhang Wuxun squeezed past Wu Xiaoxie with a flashlight, reached out and touched the granite slab on top, and tapped it twice. "It's hollow, we should be able to lift it up."

The young man nodded and reached out to lift it.

The stone slab was incredibly heavy; even with the young man's strength, he could only lift it slightly, allowing light to leak through.

Zhang Wuxun had injured his shoulder earlier and couldn't exert much strength at the moment, so he had to step aside to let Wu Xiaoxie behind him come over to help, while he held the knife and stood guard on the side.

The fat man suddenly raised his hand and poked him, then lowered his voice and pointed to the passage behind him, saying, "Was that forbidden woman not burned to death? I think I just saw her hair."

Zhang Wuxun turned his head and his expression changed. That damned old hag was really not dead, and her seaweed-like hair was already spreading along the cave wall towards them.

Gan!
Zhang Wuxun cursed under his breath, turned on the strongest beam of his flashlight and shone it in that direction, then shouted, "Fatty, fire! Kill him!"

The fat man, gun in hand, fired a series of shots in that direction, then cursed, "Damn it, physical damage doesn't work!"

At this moment, Wu Xiaoxie, who was behind Zhang Wuxun, let out a scream. He was grabbed by the shoulder and lifted up by a ferocious, scaled claw. Seeing that things were not going well, Xiao Ge quickly chased after him.

Zhang Wuxun threw the lit windproof lighter on the path the Forbidden Woman was sure to take, and dragged the fat man out of the cave entrance in a scramble.

Looking up, he saw Wu Xiaoxie being dragged around by the sea monkey, and it seemed he was in grave danger.

When the young man tried to save someone, the sea monkey used Wu Xiaoxie as a weapon, swinging it around and smashing it at him.

The young man was hesitant to act rashly, so he could only try his best to minimize Wu Xiaoxie's injuries while constantly jumping and dodging.

Zhang Wuxun was enraged. He grabbed the Illusionary Knife with his left hand and threw it at Xiao Ge, shouting, "Xiao Ge, catch this!"

The guy's fighting power instantly increased after getting the weapon, and he drew his sword and slashed at the sea monkey's neck.

Zhang Wuxun and the fat man also hurried to drag the stone slabs to block the forbidden woman below.

Seeing the fierce approach of the young man's blade, the sea monkey dared not be careless. It simply dropped Wu Xiaoxie in its hand, and in a few quick movements, it darted to a pillar in the main hall. With a leap, it roared and pounced on the young man, its ferocious fangs aimed straight for his head.

The young man reacted extremely quickly. He bent over backward, twisting his body into an incredible arc, and dodged the attack with a tricky angle. He then kicked off a pillar, using the momentum to leap into the air and perform a beautiful turn, as if flying. It was full of tension and beauty. He then chopped down on the back of the sea monkey's head with his knife.

The sea monkey sensed danger and tried its best to escape, but it was too late. In the end, the guy cut off its left arm and most of its shoulder.

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire hall.
