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

Chapter 93 The Edge of Life and Death
Upon closer inspection, many such chains were hanging around, which at first glance looked like aerial roots of a banyan tree.

The space hidden beneath the stone coffin was larger than he had imagined; it could almost be called a burial chamber. According to the normal specifications of earthen burial tombs, after walking a dozen or so steps, the formal inner coffin should be placed in the center of the burial chamber. In the case of a well-equipped stone burial chamber, there would be more than a dozen layers of wooden linings, all the way to the innermost inner burial chamber.

However, Wu Xiaoxie walked for a long time but still couldn't see the inner coffin's locking mechanism. He couldn't help but wonder if the stone outer coffin was empty.
Where did that strange sound come from? Could someone as big as Lao Yang just vanish into thin air?

That's impossible, unless there's a hidden door or mechanism that Lao Yang triggered when he fell down.

Wu Xiaoxie planned to take a few more steps forward, bent down, and shone the flashlight on the ground, trying to find some clues.

He had only taken two steps when a huge, dark hole suddenly appeared in front of him. Wu Xiaoxie stretched out his foot and stepped into empty air. His center of gravity shifted, and he couldn't stop in time. He fell forward and plummeted down.

He frantically thrashed and scratched, trying to grab onto something to slow his fall. In his panic, his fingertips touched a bronze chain. He quickly grabbed it, using both hands and feet to wrap himself around it, and slid down several meters before stopping. He broke out in a cold sweat, his heart nearly jumping out of his throat, and his palms burned with pain, but he dared not let go for even a moment.

What the hell is going on? There's a deep pit here!

Wu Xiaoxie closed his eyes, still shaken, and took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself down. The flashlight had fallen just now; he heard it hit the bottom, but when he looked down, he couldn't see a single ray of light.

Who knows how deep it is down there?

Without hesitation, he chose to climb up rather than down. Just as he was about to start, he suddenly heard that eerie "thump thump thump" sound coming from the hole he had fallen into again, as if something was circling around the edge of the pit, watching him struggle on the edge of life and death with a leisurely air.

Wu Xiaoxie was startled. This thing was intelligent! It was deliberately leading him this way! What should he do? Should he go up or down? What if going down led to that thing's lair? That would be like sending a lamb to the slaughter. But if he climbed up, that thing was guarding the top, and he wasn't 100% sure he could win.

I'm torn between my inner thoughts and my own conscience, and it's hard to make a decision right now.

Just then, Wu Xiaoxie heard a rustling sound of fabric rubbing against his side and below. Immediately afterward, he felt his ankle being grabbed by a hand. Startled, he let out a scream that was stuck in his throat. He immediately kicked his foot, but only heard a cry of pain before the hand was kicked away. A familiar voice, deliberately lowered and intermittent, rang out.

"You bastard! It's...it's me, damn it."

Is it Lao Yang?!
Wu Xiaoxie was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "Damn it, you bastard, you've finally shown up. Sure enough, evil lives on for a thousand years. This son of a bitch won't die so easily."

After the initial joy came anger: "Damn it, since you're alive, why the hell don't you say a word?"

Lao Yang shushed him without answering, but tugged at his trouser leg, gesturing for him to follow him down the bronze chain.

Although I was completely confused and unwilling, I had no choice but to follow Lao Yang's suggestion for the time being.
