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

Chapter 68 Life and Death
Lao Yang scoffed, thinking that Wu Xiaoxie was just a brainless fan of Zhang Muyu, and that the guy might have fallen off a waterfall and gotten stuck in some corner he couldn't get out of.

Zhang Wuxun, who was being targeted by the two men, was currently surrounded by a troop of monkeys.

Yes, that's right. The monkeys that Wu Xiaoxie and his friends chased away with flares have found their target again. As they fled downhill, they unfortunately bumped into Zhang Wuxun and, overestimating their abilities, decided to launch a surprise attack.

Zhang Wuxun looked up at the spot where the signal flare's light had finally disappeared and decided to finish the job quickly.

He grabbed a tree branch overhead, kicked a monkey that was lunging at him while his legs were dangling in the air, and used his arms and waist to propel himself up and stand firm. He dodged the attack while stepping on the branch, and quickly climbed up through the gaps in the monkey troop. When he was about 10 meters tall, he turned around, took out a flashbang from his pocket, pulled out the safety pin, and threw it forcefully at the monkey troop chasing behind him.

They dared not linger for even a moment, using both hands and feet as if they wished they could grow wings and fly away.

boom--

A deafening roar reverberated throughout the space, and the intense, blinding white light scorched the retinal tissue and photoreceptor nerves, causing instant blindness. It felt as if hundreds of millions of bees were flapping their wings in his mind at the same time. Accompanied by a screaming tinnitus and waves of dizziness, Zhang Wuxun was almost shaken to the ground. He instinctively grabbed the tree branch at his feet, pressed his body tightly against the bronze tree, buried his head in his arms, and waited for the shock to subside.

The monkeys, caught in the close-up light, fled in panic, attacking and running wildly. Deaf and blind, they couldn't see where they were going and either fell to their deaths or were bitten to death by the indiscriminately attacking monkeys. In less than half a minute, the entire monkey troop was wiped out.

The violent explosion startled Wu Xiaoxie and his two companions. Seeing the sudden appearance of a white, blazing light in the space below, they exclaimed, "There are still people down there!"

Wu Xiaoxie's eyes lit up, and he said with delight and certainty, "It must be a wooden fish!"

He was about to shout when Lao Yang covered his mouth, winked and made faces at him, before lowering his voice and saying, "Are you crazy? What if the people down there are the two remaining members of Uncle Tai's group?"

Wu Xiaoxie was stunned for a moment, and then felt a wave of fear. Uncle Tai had already fallen to his death, but the remaining two were not easy to deal with either. Two against two, they were already exhausted and had no chance of winning. Master Liang would definitely not side with them.

Tou Mo glanced at Liang Shiye, who was looking down at him, and then winked at Lao Yang, "What should we do then?"

Lao Yang frowned and pondered for a few seconds before saying decisively, "Run, let's climb up."

Wu Xiaoxie rubbed his aching legs, inwardly groaning, "Damn it, just tell me honestly how far it is up there." Lao Yang remained silent for a long time, somewhat reluctant to speak, and finally could only give an ambiguous answer, "I don't know either, last time it took me a whole day to climb."

one day?!!
Wu Xiaoxie's vision blurred, and he felt like fainting on the spot. They had been climbing like madmen for so long, and they probably only reached seventy or eighty meters. If it was really that long, they might not even see the top before they collapsed from exhaustion and were smashed to pieces like Uncle Tai.

Wu Xiaoxie was too exhausted to curse anymore; he was mentally drained.

Master Liang also had an expression of utter despair and disillusionment with the world.

Seeing this, Lao Yang quickly encouraged Wu Xiaoxie and the other, "It's just a few hundred meters. On flat ground, you can cross it in no time. Now it's just standing up. It'll be a bit more troublesome, but what's there to worry about? We'll definitely be able to climb it."

Wu Xiaoxie rolled his eyes angrily, "Go to hell! According to you, anyone can ride a bicycle up Mount Everest. We're fighting against gravity, not friction. You don't know anything, you illiterate."

Lao Yang was a little angry when his weakness was exposed. "Then what do you suggest? Aren't you a college student? If you're so capable, come up with a good idea."

Wu Xiaoxie choked, thinking to himself, "Damn it, if I had a method, why would I be stuck in this limbo?" With a determined look and a gritted tooth, he shouted, "Climb!"

"It's just a few hundred meters. At worst, we can slow down a bit and rest a little longer."

Now that things have come to this, even if what lies ahead is a den of dragons and tigers, they are determined to brave it.

The three reached a consensus and dared not waste any more time. They organized their equipment, leaving behind anything they didn't need, and Lao Yang crawled at the front with a flashlight.

After climbing for a while, Liang Shiye was completely exhausted. His hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't muster any strength. Afraid of being left behind, he gritted his teeth and persevered, but still fell halfway down.

Seeing the two people ahead of him climbing further and further away, Liang Shiye sighed, leaned against the tree trunk, and felt a deep sadness in his heart. Perhaps this was fate.

It's been added.
