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

Chapter 55 Double-barreled Shotgun
Lao Yang's eyes widened, and he stammered, "This...this fish is so big! This...this is still...a fish?"

Wu Xiaoxie pulled the triangular military dagger out of the fish's belly, rinsed it in the water to remove the blood, shook it off, and handed it back to Zhang Wuxun.

"This is a freshwater taimen, one of the most ruthless freshwater fish. This one is only two and a half meters long and it's considered small. The largest taimen in the world can reach fifteen meters in length," Wu Xiaoxie explained after observing for a while.

Lao Yang was stunned. "That...that big! It's...it's become a water...water god!"

Wu Xiaoxie scoffed and rolled his eyes, "What water god? Does your water god eat people?"

Lao Yang choked, noticing Wu Xiaoxie's displeasure, gave an awkward laugh, and said nothing more.

Zhang Wuxun, who was rinsing his mouth after vomiting, chuckled softly upon hearing this.

Little Tianzhen is angry.

Perhaps it was because Lao Yang had stood by and watched, coupled with his previous deception.

Even a clay figure has some temper, let alone Lao Yang, who repeatedly deceives people and never tells the truth.

Wu Xiaoxie suddenly exclaimed, "Huh? What's this?"

As he spoke, he squatted down and used his dagger to poke at the entrails flowing out of the ruptured fish's belly. The stomach sac inside had already been pierced by Zhang Wuxun's triangular military dagger. With Wu Xiaoxie's poke, the opening became even larger, and a round thing fell out and rolled to Lao Yang's feet.

Lao Yang kicked it, flipping it over, then gasped, "This is a damn person... a head!"

Having experienced more, Wu Xiaoxie had gradually grown bolder. Hearing this, he said irritably, "It's just a dead man's head. Why are you making such a fuss? You have no sense of propriety."

He'd seen sea monkeys, forbidden women, and giant zombies before. A dead man was nothing; he didn't even have a body and wouldn't jump up and bite anyone. What was there to be afraid of?

Lao Yang stared blankly at Wu Xiaoxie, seemingly unable to believe that his childhood friend, who was once simple and timid, had become like this. Seeing that Wu Xiaoxie had already taken a dagger to examine the head without any attempt to hide it, Lao Yang frowned. In that case, his plan would be difficult to carry out.

Zhang Wuxun took in the constantly changing expressions on Lao Yang's face, gave him a cold glance, and skillfully concealed the murderous intent in his eyes.

He got up and walked over to Wu Xiaoxie, asking him, "Did you find anything?"

Wu Xiaoxie poked the slightly ulcerated skin on the head with his dagger and sighed, "The bones were bitten out of shape, and the face was swollen from being soaked in water. You can't tell what it originally looked like. But judging from its freshness, it must have just died not long ago. I wonder if it was one of Uncle Tai's group."

Zhang Wuxun used his foot to pull out a black object from the sour, foul-smelling contents flowing out of the stomach sac, and said, "This looks like a gun."

"It's a rhythmic flick!"

Lao Yang darted over and picked up the gun without even noticing how dirty it was.

Wu Xiaoxie glanced at it casually and lost interest. "Where did you learn this nonsense from? And you're talking about 'flirting'? It's just a homemade hunting rifle. Someone even sawed off the barrel. It can't even kill a dog from a little distance."

Seeing Zhang Wuxun's puzzled look, he explained, "This kind of small-caliber double-barreled shotgun is only powerful when you're close. Each barrel can fire one shot, but it can't eject the bullets by itself. You have to take out the empty cartridge cases like you're loading bullets. It can only shoot small wild animals. If you encounter a large wild animal like a bear, the bear's claws will be on your face before you even fire the second shot. It's really useless. But at least it's a gun, better than nothing."

Zhang Wuxun exclaimed "Ah!" To be honest, having lived two lives, he had never seen such a piece of junk gun, yet Lao Yang treated it like a treasure.

Old Yang's gun and backpack were stolen by the wild monkeys. Luckily, he had the foresight to wrap the bronze tree branch and hide it in his clothes. If he had lost it, he would have been in big trouble and wouldn't have had a chance to cry.

So, naturally, he was very excited to have gotten a gun. Seeing that neither Zhang Wuxun nor Wu Xiaoxie intended to take it, he cleaned it and put it away without any qualms. Zhang Wuxun was afraid he might do something bad, and besides, if others had something, my son had to have it too, and it had to be better than everyone else's.

So he pulled Wu Xiaoxie over, turned his back to Lao Yang, and took out a pure black miniature gun from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.

This was the best CPX-2 he conjured while practicing after obtaining intermediate-level materialization abilities. This type of gun was specially produced for children by the American gun market in the future. It has ten bullets, a maximum effective range of 150 meters, and enough power to take down a wild boar. It's easy to use, and its small size means it can be easily put in a pocket without being noticed. (The author doesn't know much about guns and consulted Baidu.)
Wu Xiaoxie opened his mouth in surprise, wanting to say something, but then swallowed his words, mindful of Lao Yang's presence.

Zhang Wuxun winked at him, signaling him to quickly put it away, and mouthed, "Do you know how to use it?"

Wu Xiaoxie glanced at Lao Yang and, seeing that his attention wasn't on them, quickly removed the magazine, reinstalled it, pulled the safety pin a couple of times, and nodded to Zhang Wuxun.

Zhang Wuxun smiled and patted his shoulder like a patriarch.

Wu Xiaoxie's lips twitched, and he shook his head helplessly.

The gun that Muyu gave him was the kind of one he had never seen before, but that didn't stop him from knowing how to use it.

On the other side, Lao Yang cleaned up the homemade hunting rifle and tucked it into his waistband. Then, he clasped his hands together and bowed to the human head on the ground, muttering something under his breath. After that, he kicked the human head into the water.

Wu Xiaoxie: "..."

Zhang Wuxun: "..."

Someone's head: "..." Are you being polite?
"Aren't you disgusting? We're going to have to wade back the way we came after we're done. What if someone steps on that thing in the water?" Wu Xiaoxie said with a wrinkled nose.

Zhang Wuxun quickly followed up with a comment, "Shameless."

Lao Yang waved his hand dismissively, "Who cares? Out of sight, out of mind. It's creepy to see it sitting there so conspicuously."

"Besides, with that big guy's appetite, there might be even more disgusting things in the water. If you step on one, just treat it like a rock. You can't exactly stick incense and worship it like an ancestor."

As they were talking, a triangular dorsal fin suddenly emerged from the water, slicing through the surface and disappearing in a flash.

"Holy crap!" Wu Xiaoxie was startled, almost thinking he was seeing things. "Wooden Fish, did you see that? There seems to be an even bigger one in the water!"

Zhang Wuxun nodded solemnly, "I saw it."

He glared at Lao Yang imperceptibly, thinking, "What nonsense are you spouting? Never-ending."

Wu Xiaoxie stared at the water for a long time, but the dorsal fin never reappeared.
