Tomb raiders: You stole my little Qilin?

"Third Master, is it possible that there are rice dumplings?" Da Kui asked, trembling.

"Be on guard." Wu Sansheng handed two heavy pistols to Wu Xie and Wu Wei.

"Fire a shot if you encounter anything that moves."

As the number of corpses increased, Da Kui had no choice but to row the boat himself, while Pan Zi used the pole to clear away the floating bodies.

The river took a turn.

"Ahhh!" Da Kui shouted, startling Wu Xie, who was in a tomb for the first time.

"Shut up," Wu Sansheng snapped, really wanting to throw Da Kui down.

Ahead, a woman in white was floating on the water. Her long black hair reached her waist and covered her face, while her exposed skin was pale and bluish-white.

Accompanied by the lush greenery of the water's edge, it drifted slowly toward them.

Wu Xie fired a shot out of fear, but it had no effect whatsoever.

Pan Zi threw two black donkey hooves over, but they couldn't stop the female corpse from advancing.

Da Kui became even more frightened and hurriedly hid behind him.

With a exertion of his large frame, the entire small boat became unstable and tangled up in a mess.

At the crucial moment, Hei Xiazi threw a punch, hitting Da Kui squarely on the head, and threatened him fiercely.

"Damn it, if you move around, I'll make sure you keep these corpses company right now."

Da Kui covered his head and squatted down, not daring to make a sound.

The ship finally stabilized.

But then they saw that the huge carrion beetle that had been hanging in front of them had fallen into the water at some point.

"Splash!" The swarm of corpse beetles, which had been quietly feeding on the rotting corpses, attacked them again.

Hei Xiazi shot each enemy with incredible accuracy, one shot at a time. Zhang Qiling also drew his Black Gold Ancient Blade and led the way.

In the chaos, a large corpse beetle lunged at Wu Xie.

Wu Xie fired a shot, but it didn't kill him; instead, the bullet plunged him into the water.

"Little Evil!"

"Young Master San!"

Wu Sansheng and Pan Zi immediately reached out to pull him up.

But Wu Xie seemed to be being pulled down by something.

"Whoosh."

Wu Wei disregarded the things in the water and jumped in without hesitation.

With a forceful shove, Wu Xie was thrown onto the boat, but a corpse beetle in the water bit his arm hard.

"elder brother!"

Zhang Qiling held the knife across his arm, ready to bleed him.

In an instant, the surrounding corpse beetles seemed to have encountered some natural enemy and scattered.

Not only those around the ship, but even those who were feeding on the carrion rushed away.

Pan Zi was worried about the young master one second, and the corpse beetle ran away the next second, leaving him completely bewildered.

"What? They ran away."

Zhang Qiling stared intently at the trace of blood on the water's surface.

"Wu Wei, seize him."

Hei Xiazi, with great professional ethics, reached out and pulled Wu Wei out of the water.

Seeing the bleeding wound on his forearm, he was still selling:

"You're injured? It's okay, I sell medicine here."

Zhang Qiling quickly came to his side and took his injured arm to check it.

A moment later, the black gold ancient sword pointed directly at Wu Sansheng.

Pan Zi quickly stepped in front of Wu Sansheng, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Zhang Qiling ignored him, staring at Wu Sansheng, his voice icy, uttering each word slowly and deliberately. "You... stole the Zhang family's Qilin?"

Wu Wei screamed inwardly, "I'll knock! 99, they've been exposed!"

"It was bound to happen sooner or later. You can't go into a tomb without getting hurt; you can't hide it forever."

Then 999 gave Wu Wei another idea.

"Given Zhang Qiling's personality, he won't abandon you. Cling to his leg and let him teach you how to burial."

Hei Xiazi suddenly realized what was happening and gasped, "Damn, your Wu family is really something! You even dare to kidnap members of the Zhang family?"

Wu Xie snapped out of his petrified state and said, "No, he's my brother. We grew up together."

Wu Sansheng seemed to have his brain rebooted as well. "Brother, what are you saying? This is my nephew."

Zhang Qiling pointed to the water where the corpse beetles had receded, "What do you have to say?"

Wu Sansheng had also heard of the power of the Zhang family bloodline, and now he was at a loss for words.

"No, I found Xiao Wei on Jade Emperor Mountain!"

Seeing that Zhang Qiling still didn't believe him, he quickened his pace.

"It's true, he was only six years old when I met him. I raised him from a young age, who knew he was a descendant of the Zhang family."

Wu Sansheng even felt a little sad as he spoke, this was really their adopted nephew.

As the woman in white floated up to him, Zhang Qiling put down his knife.

"We'll settle this once we get out."

He shielded Wu Wei behind him, intending to cut open his skin to bleed him out and drive away the rice dumpling.

A voice came from behind, "Young man, you said I have the Zhang family bloodline, so my blood should be useful too, right?"

Pressing down Zhang Qiling's hand holding the knife, Wu Wei stretched out his injured arm in front of him.

"Don't cut it, isn't this already there?"

Zhang Qiling's face showed disapproval.

"Haha, yes, you mute, here you go, so you'll suffer less injury." Black Bear laughed.

Wu Wei nodded repeatedly, thanking Hei Xiazi for his help, as his blood was just enough to collect energy.

Zhang Qiling remained silent for a moment, then gently brushed Wu Wei's wound with her slender fingers.

With a forceful flick of his wrist, a few drops of blood splattered onto the rice dumpling in front of him.

The woman in white seemed to have pressed the pause button.

A moment later, he slowly knelt down and remained motionless, which shocked everyone.

"Ding, collected."

Wu Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief when the 999 alarm sounded.

Hei Xiazi put his arm around Wu Wei's shoulder and sighed, "No wonder so many people are envious of the bloodline of your Zhang family..."

Zhang Qiling pulled Hei Xiazi's arm off without any expression.

Wu Xie also grabbed Wu Wei's other arm, saying, "My brother is a member of the Wu family!"

Wu Wei smiled awkwardly, admitting that according to his public persona, he knew nothing.

Just laugh it off.

"Your acting has deteriorated," 999 muttered quietly.

"Get out of here!"

"Go out first," Wu Sansheng said.

He also suffered a heart attack. After raising his nephew for so many years, someone suddenly told him that his nephew was a member of the Zhang family.

Damn it!

Why did it have to be the Zhang family? He wouldn't have worried about anyone being able to compete with the Wu family if it were any other family.

The abnormal energy guide above Wu Wei's head disappeared, and there was nothing unusual behind the water cave.

Only countless floating corpses remained, emitting a faint green glow.

Da Kui was so frightened that he couldn't stand up, so Pan Zi rowed the boat while Hei Xiazi cleared the floating corpses from the water.

Wu Xie rummaged through his backpack and took out the medicinal powder and gauze.

Just as he was about to bandage Wu Wei, Zhang Qiling took it away.

"You..." Wu Xie tried to snatch it back, but then felt a warm touch on his hand.

Wu Wei gently patted his hand, and Wu Xie turned his head away angrily without saying anything.

"Stretch out your hand." Zhang Qiling's voice was as calm as ever.

Wu Wei stretched out his arm and let him bandage it.

Zhang Qiling moved swiftly; yes, he himself had also bled a lot.

Wu Wei was caught off guard and felt a pang of sadness. He felt sorry for Zhang Qiling's first half of life, even though she herself didn't remember him.

"alright."

Wu Wei looked up at him. There was a hint of gentleness in Zhang Qiling's deep eyes, like a single flower blooming in a cold snow mountain.

"Thanks!"

Zhang Qiling did not answer, but sat silently in front of him.

"Dumb guy, you're really lucky. You even ran into your own people while taking a job."

Hei Xiazi couldn't keep his mouth shut, and among the group, he was the only one who knew Zhang Qiling well.

Only he could come up with such a joke.

As you walk further ahead, the floating corpses gradually disappear, and the water becomes clearer.

After another hour of paddling, we saw the end of the cave.

As the setting sun cast its rays, the scene resembled a paradise, making one wonder who would have thought that it contained such a treacherous cave filled with corpses.
