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

Chapter 82 Strange Dream
Wu Xiaoxie quickly knelt down beside him to check on him, "Muyu? Muyu, how are you?"

Zhang Wuxun shook his head, struggling to get up a little, when a sharp pain shot through his back. He cried out in pain and fell back to the ground, beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead. He tried several times but failed each time. So he used one hand to pull Wu Xiaoxie up, signaling him to stand up, "Hurry up, those vines will keep chasing us."

Due to the poor lighting, Wu Xiaoxie couldn't tell where else Zhang Wuxun was injured besides his abdomen, but it looked really serious. He was anxious but dared not examine him carelessly.

Upon hearing Zhang Wuxun's words, Wu Xiaoxie immediately shook his head vigorously.

He heard a dragging sound overhead, and Wu Xiaoxie's heart tightened. He quickly threw his backpack in front of him, groped for Zhang Wuxun's flashlight that had been extinguished, tapped it in his palm, and the flashlight lit up again. He gritted his teeth, flipped over, hoisted Zhang Wuxun onto his back, and ran forward with the flashlight in his mouth.

Zhang Wuxun was too late to stop him. He was jolted so hard on Wu Xiaoxie's back that he was wincing in pain, but he had to hold back his cries so as not to disturb Wu Xiaoxie. It was a truly miserable experience.

The noise kept coming from behind, and Wu Xiaoxie didn't dare to stop for a moment. He ran for nearly two hundred meters in one breath, not knowing where he had ended up in his panic.

The flashlight beam flashed by, and Wu Xiaoxie rushed forward two steps before suddenly slamming on the brakes. Zhang Wuxun, who was on his back, almost fell off. He hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Wu Xiaoxie didn't say anything, but silently took two steps back and turned his head to point the beam of light at a certain spot.

There stood a corpse bound to the stone wall by vines, a striking sight under the dim light. Most horrifying of all, the corpse's face looked exactly like Zhang Wuxun behind him!
Wu Xiaoxie's heart skipped a beat, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He quickly closed his eyes and then opened them again, but the scene in front of him had not changed at all.

Whether it was a trick of his imagination or not, Wu Xiaoxie suddenly felt Zhang Wuxun on his back slowly getting heavier. A wet head, breathing out damp mist, slowly approached his side, and several strands of black hair hanging down from his shoulder were still dripping water onto the ground.

Wu Xiaoxie felt as if he were soaking in ice water, his body began to tremble uncontrollably, and his teeth chattered together.

A voice, neither male nor female, came from behind, asking, "Why are you shaking? Am I that scary?"

"what--"

Wu Xiaoxie let out a loud, cracking shout, grabbed the unidentified creature behind him, and slammed it to the ground. As it hit the ground, he kicked it away.

With a "bang," Wu Xiaoxie kicked something, not even bothering to look, and took the flashlight out of his mouth and ran away as fast as he could.

But no matter how he ran, nothing around him changed. The damp feeling behind him returned, and just as he was about to despair, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his face. A vine appeared out of nowhere and slapped him hard across the face.

Wu Xiaoxie screamed in pain, his body suddenly felt heavy, and something pulled him down straight down. He felt weightless and his vision went black and he felt dizzy.

"Wu Xie, Wu Xie, wake up!"

A sound appeared in my ear, sometimes near, sometimes far, sometimes bright, sometimes dim.

Who is calling me?
Wu Xiaoxie was puzzled and wanted to open his eyes to see what was going on, but his eyelids were so heavy that they felt like they were weighed down with a weight, and he couldn't open them even slightly. Instead, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Damn it! Open your eyes, open them now!
Wu Xiaoxie was furious. He thought to himself, "What the hell dares to press down on my bed? When I wake up, I'll find a Taoist priest to exorcise that ghost."

After a jumble of random thoughts running through his mind, Wu Xiaoxie cursed the ghost's ancestors for eighteen generations. Perhaps even ghosts fear evil people, because after his outburst of cursing, Wu Xiaoxie clearly felt much more relaxed. Overjoyed, he tentatively opened his eyes, and a golden firelight leaped into them.

Wu Xiaoxie was taken aback and turned to look at the fire, where he found Zhang Wuxun sitting by the fire with one leg bent, staring at him with an unfriendly gaze.

The look in his eyes startled Wu Xiaoxie so much that he immediately shuddered and tried to get up and get away, but he had only gotten halfway up when he felt dizzy and his arms went limp, causing him to collapse to the ground.

Zhang Wuxun quickly stopped him from moving around, "Can you calm down for a while? If you keep causing trouble, even a god can't save your life."

Wu Xiaoxie lay on the ground for a while to recover, and the dizziness and nausea subsided, and his mind became much clearer.

"What's wrong with me?"

He only remembered that he and Zhang Wuxun were chased by vines and fell down the fault line together. What happened after that? It seemed like... when he fell, his head hit something, and then he knew nothing more.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Zhang Wu lifted his head with his left hand, fed him some water with his right hand, and then said with a dark face, "You still have the nerve to ask? You were knocked unconscious after falling off the plank road. I went through all the trouble of carrying you on my back to escape, but you little bastard wouldn't behave at all. You were kicking your legs and slapping people, and you were cursing me with all sorts of foul language. I only calmed you down for a while after tying you up with a rope. As soon as I untied you, you woke up with a look on your face like you'd seen a ghost. If it weren't for your injuries, I would have really wanted to beat you up."

"what?"

Wu Xiaoxie looked bewildered, thinking to himself, "No wonder I was experiencing sleep paralysis; it turns out I was tied up and couldn't move."

Even someone as good-natured as Muyu had a dark expression, which shows that he really caused quite a stir.

Wu Xiaoxie chuckled twice, raised his hand to touch the gauze wrapped around his head, "Sorry, I dreamt of the Forbidden Woman from the underwater tomb. That thing was blowing cold air on my back, so I was trying to get rid of it. By the way, were you hurt anywhere when you fell?"

Zhang Wuxun's expression softened a bit. "It's nothing, I just twisted my ankle when it hit the bottom. It's been treated, it's not serious."

Wu Xiaoxie breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned as a dull ache throbbed in the back of his head.

Seeing this, Zhang Wuxun explained, "The place where we fell was a slope. When you rolled down, your head must have hit a rock. You scraped the back of your head and suffered a concussion. Dizziness and nausea are normal reactions."

Wu Xiaoxie clutched his head, used his arms to prop himself up, looked around, and asked, "Where is this?"
