The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

After the bubbles burst, wisps of red mist drifted out and spread in all directions, instantly blocking the entrance to the cave.

In just a few seconds, the entire bottom of the cave was enveloped by the red mist, without a single gap.

　Even a slight sniff of the "410" could detect the fishy smell carried by the red mist.

Seeing this, Fang Yun's eyes narrowed, and he gestured for the three people behind him to step back.

Wow...

The four had barely taken two steps back when the river stirred again, and another unexpected event occurred.

Beneath the river's surface, countless white lights, shimmering with a faint blue glow, slowly rose. Within five seconds, the surface was covered with these lights.

Upon seeing this scene, all four of them gasped in shock.

At this glance, the water surface was covered with waves, a chaotic mix of foam and other debris...

However, these [unintelligible characters] are not suitable for use in [unintelligible characters].

Even Fang Yun, who already knew the secret behind it, was shocked.

Knowing something doesn't mean you've seen it with your own eyes; only when you see it with your own eyes can you truly experience the awe it evokes.

A river was filled with corpses, looking like a river of corpses; anyone who saw it would be shocked!

However, after the corpse surfaced, it moved towards the red mist at the bottom of the cave.

The red mist, like a bottomless abyss, accepted everything without exception, absorbing all who came.

This unbelievable scene was something that, apart from Fang Yun, the three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his companions, simply couldn't understand.

So Partridge Whistle whispered to Fang Yun, "Brother Fang, can you tell what's going on with this red mist?"

Fang Yun nodded slightly and pointed to a spot of red mist, saying:

"This time it's a really big one!"

Upon hearing this, the three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his brother, all looked in the direction Fang Yun was pointing.

Within the red mist, there was a barely visible black shadow, so small that it could not be seen at all without careful observation.

The dark shape seemed to rise from underwater, with the part that emerged above the water being more than two meters high, and at the top, there seemed to be a wisp of dark golden light flashing.

The thickest red mist gathered around the dark figure, while the surrounding river surface was shrouded in a dense, murky haze.

Those creatures, like corpses, were swallowed up.

Glug...glug...

As if in response to the three people's thoughts, a swallowing sound actually rang out from within the red mist.

Upon hearing the strange noise, the three brothers' expressions immediately tightened, and they all drew their weapons, but they were no longer as tense as before.

After all, the unknown opponent is the most terrifying.

Now they know that the red mist is devouring the elixir of life, and that it is also causing the elixir to regenerate and decay.

Watching it relentlessly devour the worms, the worms seemed to shrink and die.

He had even considered leaving the cave while the river was calm, but now that he saw the giant worm, he remembered that he had a mission, the mission of which was to kill the giant worm.

The "Finger of the Tomb Raiders" technique... a secret skill that requires training from childhood, how could I possibly not want it!

Thinking of this, Fang Yun held the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow in one hand and pulled out a wooden-handled grenade in the other, saying to Partridge Whistle and the other two:

"That thing is blocking the entrance to the cave; we can't get through unless we kill it."

Hearing Fang Yun's words, the three nodded in unison and followed Fang Yun's example, taking out hand grenades.

They certainly understand the principle of striking first to gain the upper hand.

If the thing in the red mist is of the level of a black serpent, those four grenades would blow it apart.

If that thing is at the level of a six-winged centipede, then it will be troublesome.

"By the way, won't we end up with a corpse if we do this?"

Just as Fang Yun was about to pull the pin on the grenade, the old foreigner was startled and waved his hand in front of Fang Yun.

Upon hearing the old foreigner's words, Partridge Whistle and Flower's expressions also hardened.

I almost forgot about that. If I were to wake up those countless creatures, they would be thrown into chaos.

"Old foreigner, you've done a great job!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun was startled, then his face lit up with joy.

Only after being asked by the old foreigner did he remember the winding path inside the cave.

The worm in front of us is not a whole creature; the head that appears in this hole is only a small part of the whole worm.

The giant worm was nearly a hundred meters long. King Xian dug a pit in the gourd cave, left the worm's head inside the cave, and stuffed its body and tail into the pit before sending it to the Insect Valley.

This caused the lizard to get stuck in the mountain wall, unable to move forward or backward.

The digestive tract of this long, worm-like creature was blocked by a stone by King Xian, preventing it from spitting out the worm's contents.

This is why, for the past two thousand years, the worm has not been able to kill the snake.

Because this worm-like creature has no way of eating the blue glowing substance on the corpse!

The luminous blue substance is a tiny, fleshy fungus, a type of excrement produced by the larvae after they ingest plankton in the water.

The red mist emanating from the long, worm-like creature attracts these worm-fungi, which then propel the creature, causing it to swirl and swirl.

This is a cyclical ecological system!

Plankton can divide and grow extremely quickly, and since plankton can multiply rapidly, they cannot be digested by worms on a corpse.

This process not only ensured that the worms didn't starve, but also guaranteed their survival.

The red and white miasma recorded on the human skin map, one at 1.3, is released from the tail of a long-tailed worm stuffed into the valley, and the other is these... (The text abruptly ends here, so the translation stops as well.)

This Prince Xian is truly a genius!

Another crucial point is that Fang Yun's initial plan was to kill the Yu Lin Longchong (a type of worm-like creature), obtain the 'Jade Embryo Amber' inside its body, and thus allow those other creatures to...

The problem is that the aura of the illusory mother was leaked out, and those ghosts burst out of the corpse.

His previous idea was completely pointless and a waste of effort; once the baby woke up, this step could have been avoided!

All he had to do was kill the giant worm, take the box inside its body, and not open it here.

Chapter 82 It gave me a ride!

"What merit?"

The old foreigner looked bewildered and puzzled as he stared at Fang Yun.

Could it be that this giant creature in the fog is truly unbeatable? If so, how are they going to advance to the next level?

Fang Yun didn't explain, but waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about it later when we have time!"

"These are just a few corpses, not many, we can handle them."

The key to understanding the corpse lies in the cavity inside the belly of the lizard, and at the same time, the red mist emanating from the lizard also...

All they need to do is kill the worm, obtain what's inside its body, and then leave the gourd cave as soon as possible.

Hearing Fang Yun's words, all three nodded in agreement, with Partridge Whistle's face darkening as he said:

"Strike first, strike hard! This place is only a hundred meters from the cave entrance. As long as we eliminate the evil creature in the mist, even those other monsters will be helpless!"

The Muchen Pearl was in the tomb of King Xian, and he really didn't want to delay any longer on the road.

　19 After making up their minds, the four of them walked along the plank road for several dozen meters, until they were only thirty or forty meters away from the red mist.

Hiss...

The next moment, the four of them simultaneously ripped the fuses off the wooden-handled grenades, and trails of smoke and flames emerged from the wooden handles.

Wow...

Meanwhile, that which was devouring everything was now a chaotic mess, a dangerous situation, a mirage of death.

The red mist was stirred up by the dark figure and spread outwards. Only then did the four of them see the appearance of the dark figure clearly.

Upon closer inspection, the dark figure emerged from the water, wearing a golden mask larger than a truck wheel, with two holes on it: one for the eyes and one for the mouth.

The eyehole was the size of a human head, and inside was a fleshy ball that looked like an eyeball, spinning rapidly and staring straight at them.

The mouth is shaped like a tiger's mouth, and the scarlet membrane inside the gaping maw is clearly visible. The entire mouth is square, with a sharp tooth over a foot long at each of the four corners. The mouth is so big that it could swallow two or three people at once.

Looking down from the golden mask, you can see that the insect's body, which is more than two meters above the water, is covered with a thick layer of bronze armor. There are holes in the armor, which expose the insect's legs.

At first glance, this worm looks like a caterpillar with a giant worm-like mouth, only many times larger than an ordinary caterpillar, and even wears a mask and heavy armor.

The next moment, four wooden-handled grenades were thrown out simultaneously, heading towards the worm-like creature.

"Roar!!!"

The serpent also saw the four people, and even saw the grenades they threw.

But insects are just insects; they have no idea what a grenade is.

The worm roared and leaped out of the water like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, swallowing a grenade whole.

"What a fool!"
