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

Chapter 549 Survival by cutting off the tail
A pale hand hung limply by his ear. The fat man took a quick look and was almost scared to death. "Fuck, Tian Zhen, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"

There was no one answering from behind, and everything was quiet.

The fat man shook his shoulders and called out again, "Wu Xie?" Still no response, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

One has to be really stupid to fall asleep at this moment. Damn it, Wu Xie must have been tricked.

When he thought of this, cold sweat suddenly broke out on the fat man's back. The air around him suddenly became gloomy and cold. He felt as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at him in the darkness.

Wu Xie was just hit, which means that the thing that attacked him is still near the two of them. Maybe it is hiding in some corner and aiming at them.

Damn it, this is really a dilemma. One of them is fat, the other is weak, and they are lying here in this defenseless position equivalent to squatting in the toilet, which is no different from walking into a trap.

The fat man thought about it and felt that Wu Xie must have disturbed something when he reached out to touch it just now.

He didn't see the green little hand, which meant that there was some small creature different from the Hydra cypress hidden in the crack in the stone wall.

Although the attack method of this creature is covert, its lethality is relatively weak, at least it does not cause immediate death.

Because Fatty could feel Wu Xie's head drooping on the back of his neck and breathing. He was still breathing, but just fainted temporarily.

The thing became silent after attacking Wu Xie. Fatty stiffened his head and glanced upward cautiously.

Just at this moment, an extremely violent explosion was heard above the crack, as if a nuclear bomb had detonated. The entire space above was like a long cloud of fire reflected by the setting sun on the horizon.

The scorching smoke kept surging like a small volcano that was about to erupt. The clear orange glow dyed half the sky red, and even a lot of red light shone through the cracks.

The sound of the burning vines was mixed with a lot of rustling sounds, which were very close, just inside the rough stone wall that the fat man was supporting himself with his limbs.

It was as if countless insects were crawling on one's eardrums, and one could feel the creatures wriggling in the sand with the palms pressed against the stone wall.

The fat man was shocked. Damn it! There is something in the crack of the stone!
Thinking of this, he couldn't stay there any longer and decided to go down.

The territory above was all occupied by Hydra cypresses and there were bombs everywhere. Not to mention that it was inconvenient for him to move around with one person, even if he climbed up, it would probably be a hindrance and affect Mu Yu's performance.

At the moment, going to the bottom of the crack might be the only way. Even if there is danger, as long as he can hold on for a while to save his and Wu Xie's lives, he knows that Mu Yu will definitely come down to find them.

Besides, that old guy Zhang Haike had been active down there for a long time. Judging from the strong stench, this might just be an ordinary corpse pit.

After thinking it over in his mind, the fat man immediately took action.

Afraid that Wu Xie would fall off his back, he took out his belt and tied himself and Wu Xie together to carry them, then used his hands and feet to support himself against the rock wall and began to climb down.

The stone walls on both sides were like tofu dregs, which would fall off with the slightest force. The fat man had no choice but to use his hands and feet to dig a hole in the rough stone wall so that he could use the force.

They climbed slowly like this, not knowing how long they had been there. The further they went down, the more they felt a warm and humid sensation, as if they had entered the exhaust hole of a steamer. The stench that rose up was mixed with the sour smell of rotting and fermenting meat.

The fat man was so choked by the smoke that he almost couldn't breathe. Tears kept flowing from his eyes, and his nostrils and ears were almost deafened by the smoke. He almost lost strength and fell down several times.

Finally, a few faint green lights appeared in front of his eyes. He was very familiar with this light, which was emitted from the turned-on fluorescent sticks.

The fat man squeezed his eyes hard, and his eyeballs, washed by tears, were finally less blurry.

When he took a closer look, he discovered a charred deep pit right below him that had been blasted by a detonator. Piles of corpses and bones were evenly spread out by the blast like flowers scattered from heaven, forming a strange radial wave shape.

There were four or five glow sticks sticking up from the shattered bones at the center of the explosion, standing in a row like young gangsters standing guard, neatly arranged. The green light was emitted by them.

This is obviously Zhang Haike's masterpiece.

I just don't know where that guy ran off to. The fat man stretched his neck to look around, his eyes were sore from the smoke, but he still didn't see any figure named Zhang.

It seemed safe here for the time being, so Fatty simply ignored him, held Wu Xie behind him, quickly let go, and ran straight to the empty space in front of the light stick and jumped down, hitting the center of the circle with a plop, leaning sideways to release the force, and falling flat on his back. Wu Xie, who was pressed under him, groaned, half-closed his eyes, half-awake.

The fat man turned his head to look over and found that Wu Xie's eyes were not focused, still dazed and confused, as if he didn't know what day it was.

"Naive? Hey! Wake up, the moon is shining on your butt." The fat man used a little force to pat his face.

Wu Xie seemed to hear his voice, but he just hummed a few times and had no other reaction.

The fat man had no choice but to start searching the wounds on the exposed skin on his body, trying to see what specifically bit him so that he could prescribe the right medicine.

After searching thoroughly, they found more than a dozen wounds of varying sizes, including abrasions and scratches. The most likely wound that caused Wu Xie to fall into a coma was the two small red dots on the back of his hand, about the size of millet rice. The surrounding skin had turned purple, and there seemed to be some residual poison inside.

The fat man looked at the two holes that looked like they were made by snake teeth and was stunned. What should he do now? He didn't have any medical tools at hand. How about just sucking it out with his mouth?

Let's give it a try. The fat man swept his tongue around Wu Xie's mouth and found no wounds, so he didn't mind being mean and just pursed his lips and moved closer to Wu Xie's wound.

When he was about to touch her, a cold shout came from above his head, interrupting his action, "What are you doing!"

This voice... sounds so familiar.

The fat man paused, looked up, and found a person sliding straight down from the crack along the rope.

The man was wearing a protective suit, wrapped tightly, and had a gas mask on his face.

But the fat man had very sharp eyesight. He recognized it was Zhang Wuxun just by looking at the figure and was immediately overjoyed.

"Oh my god, you are finally here."

Zhang Wuxun jumped down and stood still, then threw him a gas mask to cover up the smell. Then he half-knelt down, held Wu Xie's hand, looked at the wound, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Fortunately, I arrived in time."

As he said that, he glared at the fat man in anger and said, "You are really amazing. The wound is so black and you dare to suck it directly from your mouth. Are you trying to save your life?"

The fat man scratched his head, his voice muffled behind the gas mask, sounding buzzing, "What should we do? We don't know if this thing is snake venom. We didn't bring any serum with us when we went into the mountains."

"There's no need for serum. The thing that bit me wasn't a snake." Zhang Wuxun shook his head and said, "This is the venom of a very special legless lizard. This lizard just looks like a snake, commonly known as a glass snake."

The glass snake's body is very fragile. When encountering an enemy, it will automatically split its body into several parts, allowing the head to escape quickly. The remaining body will shake to attract the enemy's attention to buy time for the head to escape, similar to a gecko that cuts off its tail to survive.

"When I came down, I found several green and yellow translucent torsos in a pit."

Zhang Wuxun took out a transparent jar from his backpack. Inside it was a small, translucent body that was still wriggling.

"Only a few extremely rare species of this thing are poisonous. I didn't expect that I would run into it by chance. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

Zhang Wuxun kept muttering to himself, but his hands didn't stop moving. He took out a small knob cupping device from the medical bag, placed it on the back of Wu Xie's hand, and used the suction of the glass cup to draw out the poison.

Since the poisoning lasted for quite a long time, most of the toxin had spread throughout Wu Xie's body, but fortunately he had Qilin Jelly to back him up.

The venom of this thing is definitely not as strong as that of the black-haired snake, so the only symptom Wu Xie suffered was coma.

The fat man patted his butt and stood up. He explained the whole story in a few words and asked, "Can we just suck this thing out?"

The dark red blood slowly emerged from Wu Xie's wound like two winding worms.

After a dozen seconds, the red color gradually became brighter.
