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

Chapter 90 The Little Man's Bronze Plate
Hearing the heavy breathing coming from above, Wu Xiaoxie quickly curled himself up into an even smaller ball.

Even though he couldn't see it, he could feel that the ghostly thing was stretching its long neck and peering into the pit. Its head had already drooped into the pit and was extending downwards little by little.

Ruined!
Wu Xiaoxie groaned inwardly, gripping his dagger and tensing his body, ready for the final battle.

Just as the wheezing sound was about to reach his head, he heard a tiny "whoosh," and a burst of brilliant fire erupted before his eyes.

The thing was not used to the sudden bright light. It screamed and immediately pulled its neck back. Then, two gunshots rang out. Wu Xiaoxie felt something warm liquid splash on his face. The sudden bright light made it hard for him to open his eyes. After his physiological reaction caused tears to flow, he felt a little better.

He squinted, touched the liquid on his face; it was sticky. He brought it closer to his eyes and saw that it was red—blood!

Ignoring the discomfort in his eyes, he quickly looked up and saw Lao Yang standing by the pit, holding a pistol and grinning at him.

"Old Itch!"

Wu Xiaoxie cheered. Being rescued by an acquaintance at such a critical moment of life and death was truly the greatest blessing in life. He was so moved that he wanted to hug Lao Yang and cry his heart out to vent his lingering fear and dread.

"Come on up quickly." Lao Yang squatted down and lowered the rope at the edge of the pit, calling to Wu Xiaoxie to come up quickly.

Wu Xiaoxie wiped the corner of his eye with the back of his hand, grabbed the rope and climbed up, while Lao Yang pulled hard from above.

They quickly climbed up.

Before I could even get my footing, the horrific scene before me made me scream "Holy crap!" and I almost fell back into the pit.

My goodness! What kind of monster is this? In Wu Xiaoxie's limited knowledge, there wasn't a single species that could name this thing in front of him.

The monster that attacked him had a long neck like a plesiosaur, covered with fine scales. Its head looked like a skinned human head, with some parts showing the bare, rotten bones. Its ears were two dark holes. Most importantly, it had a head of thick, long, tangled, messy black hair. Its four withered claws had nails as sharp as awls used for sewing shoe soles. Its flesh was shriveled and shrunken, clinging tightly to its bones, with no skin at all.

At this moment, it stared wide-eyed with its yellowish eyes, its tattered mouth open, its lips looking as if they had been sewn shut and then torn open, drooping with fleshy strands that seemed about to fall off. The thinnest part of its long neck had been riddled with holes by Lao Yang's two shots, and blood was flowing all over the ground.

What he found most unbelievable was that this inhuman monster actually had abs!
Holy crap, could this monster be a human in disguise?

Upon seeing that thick, long hair, Wu Xiaoxie inevitably recalled the fear of being dominated by the forbidden woman in the underwater tomb.

That experience left him with a psychological aversion to long hair for a long time. Every time he washed his hair in the shower, he was afraid that his hair would suddenly grow longer and thicker and then hang down and strangle him.

Considering his feelings, Muyu would tie her hair into a bun every time she came to see him, or wear a hat to tuck all her hair in. What's amazing is that even though her hair was loose, it just wouldn't fall down.

Ahem, we've gone off-topic.

Let's get back to the main topic. Wu Xiaoxie carefully studied the monster, but couldn't figure it out. What's even more outrageous is that he also discovered that there was a bronze plate deeply embedded in the flesh of the monster's abdomen, which Lao Yang then dug out with a knife.

Upon closer inspection, Wu Xiaoxie saw that the plate was engraved with a group of stick figures holding hands in a circle, with an oval-shaped egg in the center.

I don't know if it's an egg. This picture is too simple and there's no follow-up, so it's hard to deduce its meaning.
