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

Is Chapter 61 an illusion?
When Wu Xiaoxie opened his eyes again, everything was pitch black. He blinked slowly, and his memories gradually returned.

When they were swept down by the force of the waterfall, they thought they were doomed, but to their surprise, there was a huge, cool pool at the bottom of the waterfall. This cooled them down and reduced the impact, which saved them from death.

However, he was knocked unconscious the moment he entered the water.

After recalling these things, Wu Xiaoxie quickly came to his senses and subconsciously tried to sit up, but his head suddenly bumped into something, making a crisp "thud".

He yelled in pain, saw stars, and fell back down.

What the hell?

Wu Xiaoxie dared not make any more rash moves and first used his hands to explore his surroundings.

"Hmm?" Wu Xiaoxie asked in surprise, "Why does this feel like wood?"

And it's all around, up, down, left, and right.

Recalling the earlier collision and the smell of rotting wood here, Wu Xiaoxie was shocked. Holy crap! I'm not dead yet! Who the hell put me in a coffin?!
Wu Xiaoxie propped himself up slightly with one hand, and used the other hand to push his head upwards with all his might.

One hand wasn't enough, so Wu Xiaoxie simply bent his upper body, hunched his head, raised both arms from beside his ears, gave a low shout, and exerted force with both palms at the same time.

With a loud crash, the coffin lid was overturned and rolled to the side.

Wu Xiaoxie sat up straight and looked outside, then froze in surprise.

This is a stone chamber made of white marble, with torches lit in all four corners, illuminating the small space.

The roof of the stone chamber is carved with two huge pythons that are intertwined, almost exactly the same as those in the side chamber of the underwater tomb.

Could this place also be related to Wang Zanghai?

After a moment of stunned silence, Wu Xiaoxie suddenly remembered.

Holy crap, where's the wooden fish? Where are my friends?
Wait, wait, why did I change into a diving suit?
Wu Xiaoxie hurriedly stepped out of the open coffin, nearly tripping and falling flat on his face in his panic.

After quickly regaining his footing, he didn't dare to stop for even a moment. He pulled out a torch and walked out of the tomb.

Outside was a long passageway. Wu Xiaoxie looked closely and exclaimed, "Good heavens! Isn't this the scene from the underwater tomb I was in last time?"

Both the passageway and the three jade gates at the end were exactly the same as those seen in the underwater tomb.

Wu Xiaoxie was completely dumbfounded. Could it be that he had been trapped in the underwater tomb all along and had never come out? Was everything that happened recently just a dream he had while he was asleep?
Wouldn't that mean the wooden fish guy and the fat guy are all trapped here?

The more Wu Xiaoxie thought about it, the stranger it seemed, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

What exactly is going on?

Did he never leave the underwater tomb at all, or are there similar structures in the Qinling ancient tombs?
Wu Xiaoxie rubbed his eyes hard, trying to drive away the strange hallucination in front of him.

When I opened my eyes again, there was a wooden frame above the passageway. The structure looked a bit like the scaffolding used on construction sites, with wooden planks laid on it. Passing over it could prevent me from accidentally triggering the mechanism.

Wu Xiaoxie carefully climbed up and walked to the other side of the passageway.

He was now certain that this was an illusion and was thinking about how to break it when he suddenly heard a sound coming from inside the jade gate.

A muffled male voice asked, "What should we do? Should we open the coffin?"

Then came another voice, sounding quite troubled, "Sansheng said to leave the things here for now, let's wait for him to come along." Wu Xiaoxie was bewildered. What was going on? How could Xiao Ge's voice be here?

Although the first male voice was blurry, it was still very recognizable. Judging from the pronunciation and phrasing, it was undoubtedly the young man himself.

The other voice was unrecognizable, but Wu Xiaoxie was already numb with shock, and his thoughts became clearer at this moment.

Wu Xiaoxie thought to himself, "This illusion is really damn amazing. Why don't they add the wooden fish to it too?"

Just then, a third male voice joined in, sounding somewhat indignant, "Wu Sansheng is still sleeping, what's wrong with us opening it to take a look?"

What followed was a continuous argument between the two, with occasional female voices trying to mediate.

Wu Xiaoxie became more and more confused as he listened, until one of them uttered the word "Wen Jin," which startled him.

Damn it, isn't this the scene from when Uncle Three went down into the underwater tomb with the expedition team? Little Brother even described it to him, Fatty Muyu, and the other two under the Dinghai Stone Monkey. How could it appear in his hallucination?
He even heard someone inside complain, saying, "Where has Qi Yu gone off to play again? He's such a worry."

Wu Xiaoxie clearly remembered that the name "Qi Yu" appeared among the first few names in Uncle Three's notes.

Wu Xiaoxie quickly climbed down the scaffolding, hiding most of his body on one side of the jade gate, and cautiously peeked out to observe the people in the tomb.

At the same time, a loud rumbling sound came from the tomb chamber, and the mechanism in the pool in the left side chamber was activated.

Hearing the commotion, the people in the tomb rushed out, startling Wu Xiaoxie, who quickly extinguished his torch and huddled in the shadows.

Wu Xiaoxie breathed a sigh of relief only after the group had passed.

As the sounds of their discussion faded into the distance, Wu Xiaoxie got up, intending to follow them and see what was going on.

Suddenly, a military knife appeared from behind, coldly pressed against Wu Xiaoxie's neck, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

The young Wu Sansheng's voice, filled with murderous intent, came from behind me, "So it was you who had been following me all along."

As he spoke, he exerted force, and the blade was about to sever Wu Xiaoxie's carotid artery.

In desperation, Wu Xiaoxie desperately dug his nails into the hand holding him hostage. Hearing the person behind him hiss in pain, he used his elbow to forcefully slam into the person's stomach and took the opportunity to lift his heel and stomp down heavily.

The person behind him was attacked and was in pain all over, so he couldn't care less about Wu Xiaoxie.

Wu Xiaoxie took the opportunity to break free and ran a few meters away. After confirming that Wu Sansheng couldn't teleport over to attack him, he said with a slightly embarrassed and anxious tone, "Third Uncle, I'm your nephew, your own nephew!"

Young Wu Sansheng looked confused and doubtful. Before Wu Xiaoxie could explain, he felt the earth shake violently, as if the sky was about to collapse. He then fainted.

It felt like I had slept for a century.

When I woke up again, all I could see were the rocks above me and Lao Yang's stubble-covered face.

The most terrifying thing was that the huge face was closing its eyes and was getting closer and closer to him.

"Holy shit!" Wu Xiaoxie exclaimed, kicking the man to the ground and scrambling back half a meter, his face filled with horror as he cursed, "Lao Yang, what the hell are you trying to do?!"

Wu Xiaoxie looked disgusted and terrified at being taken advantage of, then met Lao Yang's innocent face and pleaded, "Help...help me!"

I'm a little late today, so I'll post one chapter now and the other one later.
