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

Chapter 85 Black Shadow
Wu Xiaoxie felt that the wooden fish was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about it. So he casually tested it, and Zhang Wuxun's reaction made his heart skip a beat. His eyes became serious, and suddenly, the dream he had dreamed before popped into his mind.

The pale, disheveled face in my dream seemed to overlap with the face of Zhang Wuxun before me.

Wu Xiaoxie felt a jolt of fear and quickly shook his head to dispel the absurd thoughts in his mind.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent. Zhang Wuxun took out a roll of gauze from his backpack, casually wrapped it around his left palm, and then shone a flashlight on it to look at the tangled tree roots around him.

Shining the light into the hollowed-out holes between the tree roots, he said, "I think we should go in from here to take a look. There are so many holes here, and we don't know which one is real. Let's split up and look for them."

As he spoke, he shifted his feet in that direction, as if he wanted to crouch down and crawl inside.

Wu Xiaoxie had been keeping an eye on his movements. Upon hearing this, he responded and stared at the hole Zhang Wu had entered, as well as the characteristics of the surrounding tree roots. Then, he pretended to find a hole and crawled in as well.

After going inside, he took a dozen steps and immediately turned off his flashlight, turned around, held his breath, and quietly waited for the noise from Zhang Wuxun's side to gradually subside until it was too far away to be heard anymore.

Wu Xiaoxie listened carefully, and when there was no more movement, he breathed a sigh of relief and started walking out of the cave. Zhang Wuxun's behavior was really strange. He was worried and wary, and finally decided that he should follow him to see what was going on.

With a thousand thoughts racing through his mind, he didn't turn on the light and just walked out by feeling along the cave wall. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.

His eyes were fixed on a black shadow projected onto the ground from the cave entrance.

The shadow was cast onto the ground by the sparse light leaking through the gaps in the ceiling, and with the influence of the tangled tree roots around it, it looked somewhat illusory.

However, Wu Xiaoxie intuitively felt that there was an unknown creature, or rather, a person, standing at the entrance of the hole he had entered!

Wu Xiaoxie was startled by his own thoughts, his mind buzzing in confusion. Who was it? What kind of thing was it? What was it trying to do standing there?
How to do how to do!
His heart was pounding like a drum, so loud that you could feel the impact of his heart pumping blood on his muscles through his chest. He wanted to back away, but his legs involuntarily went weak.

Gan!
Wu Xiaoxie cursed himself inwardly, secretly lamenting his own terrible temper, always failing him when he was about to shut down. He was so useless, it was infuriating.

After scolding himself and shifting his focus, Wu Xiaoxie's mind started working again.

He stared intently at the shadow on the ground, confirming that it was simply standing there, motionless, and he wondered what mischief it was plotting. However, he felt that he should avoid direct confrontation until he knew the other party's true nature.

This hole is barely any space; if a fight breaks out, he'll surely die. It's better to retreat into the hole and wait and see what happens.

However, although the unidentified creature has not made any move for the time being, there is no guarantee that it will not sneak in. If it does, it could trap the creature and cause serious trouble.

After pondering for a while, and seeing that the thing still hadn't made a move, Wu Xiaoxie gritted his teeth and decided to retreat inside. At worst, he could just fight it out with it. Besides, he still had the gun that Muyu had given him before.

It's really hard to say who will kill whom!

Thinking it over in his mind, he reached into his pocket.

It would have been better if I hadn't touched it, because when I did, I was shocked! Holy crap! Where did my gun go?
