Tomb raiders: You stole my little Qilin?

Wang Cunxi's chest heaved violently.

There was no lingering fear in his eyes after just ending someone's life; only wariness and apprehension towards Wu Wei and the other two.

He finally realized that he was the one in a weaker position.

These three people were not hired thugs, but passersby who could be abandoned at any time.

Wang Cunhai clearly realized this as well, and staggered over to Wang Cunxi's side, huddling together for warmth.

Wu Wei met their gazes calmly, a slight, ambiguous smile playing on his lips.

He wasn't concerned about the lives or deaths of those two people, but rather about that mysterious token.

Although he didn't know what the token was for, he wanted what the Wang family wanted.

The three stepped back a short distance and lowered their voices.

Wu Wei spoke first, speaking softly, "Am I wrong? Are these two really members of the Wang family? They don't seem very bright."

Hei Xiazi glanced at Wang Cunhai and sneered, "Probably not a core member. If the core members of the Wang family were all this level, they would have been wiped out long ago."

He turned to Zhang Qiling: "Dumb guy, who else but you could open the mechanism on that door at the entrance?"

Zhang Qiling thought for a moment: "The Zhang family."

Black Bear's low voice carried a hint of sudden realization:

"The case is solved. These two were most likely pawns used to lure us in. The missing Aning is probably the real backup plan."

Wu Wei nodded. "Then we can't trust the drawing that A Ning gave us."

Zhang Qiling also agreed.

The three exchanged a glance and did not continue the topic.

After resting for a while, we continued on our way.

Wang Cunxi gritted his teeth and followed with Wang Cunhai and A-San.

The tomb passage was so quiet that only the sound of footsteps and the occasional dripping of water from the cracks in the stones could be heard.

Wu Wei held up his flashlight and shone it forward. The moment the light swept across the ground, he stopped in his tracks.

A series of footprints appeared on the ground.

Zhang Qiling squatted down, his fingers hovering above the footprints without touching the ground.

Black Bear stared at the direction the footprints extended, his gaze slowly sweeping across the surrounding stone walls.

Wang Cunhai swallowed hard, his voice unconsciously lowered to a whisper: "How come there are children's footprints here?"

Everyone looked around warily.

The tomb passage was empty; there was nothing there except their own shadows flickering on the stone walls.

Following the footprints past a corner, the road suddenly disappeared ahead.

Instead, there are several identical stone doors, arranged in an arc on the stone wall, with the door frames, patterns, and sizes being exactly the same.

Wu Wei felt a sudden alarm bell ring in his mind and turned around abruptly.

The path they came by is also gone.

Behind them was no longer the tomb passage they had just walked through, but a stone door exactly the same as the one in front of them, trapping them in this enclosed space.

Zhang Qiling's gaze slowly swept over the doors, his brow furrowing slightly.

After a moment, he spoke, his voice carrying a vague sense of familiarity: "I seem to remember... of these doors, only one is the door to life."

"You choose, buddy," Wu Wei said without hesitation.

Hei Xiazi adjusted his sunglasses and said casually, "Whichever one you choose, we'll go."

Zhang Qiling walked to the first door, raised his hand and placed it on the door, gently tapping the door panel with his knuckles.

The dull sound echoed in the enclosed space. He listened carefully, sensing the subtle differences in the vibrations.

Then he went to the second door, and the third door, examining each one carefully and tapping it repeatedly.

Wang Cunhai stood behind him, his heart pounding with fear, his voice filled with barely concealed anxiety:

"Are you even capable? If you make the wrong choice, we'll all die. You absolutely cannot—"

Hei Xiazi turned around, grabbed Wang Cunhai by the back of his collar, and pushed him forward several steps until he reached the front door.

"Then you go first. You go first, and you can choose which door to go."

Wang Cunhai's face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled twice, and he didn't dare to say another word.

Wang Cunxi quickly stepped forward, grabbed Wang Cunhai's arm, and gave Hei Xiazi a fawning smile:

"He just talks too much, don't take it to heart."

He used his strength to pull Wang Cunhai back to his side and whispered a few words of reprimand.

Zhang Qiling stood in front of the last door, his knocking motion halted.

He placed his palm on the door for a moment, as if sensing something.

Then he turned around and walked towards Wu Wei.

"Are you scared?" Zhang Qiling looked down at him.

Wu Wei thought for a moment, then honestly nodded: "A little."

Then she smiled and said, "But the thought of being with the two of you makes me not afraid."

Zhang Qiling raised his hand and gently patted Wu Wei's head.

The hand was cool yet strong, and the movements were gentle. "It's alright."

Hei Xiazi walked over from the side and put his arm around Wu Wei's shoulder.

The arm moved steadily and powerfully, and the voice lowered: "I'm here."

Zhang Qiling walked to the door he had chosen, pressed his finger on an almost indistinguishable groove on the door, and slowly pressed down.

The clicking sound of the mechanism turning echoed in the deathly silent space, and Wu Wei almost held his breath.

The door opened.

A quiet, dark corridor stretched out before us.

The group cautiously stepped inside, their flashlight beams sweeping across the walls on either side.

The walls of the corridor are covered with murals, the brushstrokes of which are exquisite.

The scene depicts various bizarre scenes, combinations of humans and various creatures, like the sculptures in the side room.

However, this description is more complete, and it even marks the year of the animal.

Wang Cunhai and Wang Cunxi's eyes lit up, and they stared at it intently.

Wu Wei suddenly spoke up: "You guys seem quite interested."

Wang Cunhai's shoulders stiffened for a moment, unaware that he had already been exposed.

He turned around and chuckled twice: "Never seen this before, just looking around, just looking around."

But his gaze unconsciously drifted towards the wall again.

Wang Cunxi quickly tugged at Wang Cunhai's sleeve, signaling him to move forward:

"These murals are indeed quite rare. I've never seen them before, so it's normal to take a second look."

After passing through the corridor, we entered a large hall.

This was the first main hall they had found since they entered the tomb, but it wasn't the scene they had imagined.

Inside the empty hall, there were several sleeping bags that clearly did not belong to ancient times.

There were some documents scattered around, and even a camera.

Wang Cunhai flipped through the documents in disbelief. "Is that all there is in the main hall?"

Wu Wei thought that this was probably the information left behind by Wu Sanxing and his team during their exploration back then.

After walking a few steps, I saw the sentence engraved on a wall.

Wu Sansheng, you drove me to despair, forcing me to die unjustly. Heaven and earth bear witness. — Jie Lianhuan

Wu Wei smiled. The clues that Wu Sansheng had deliberately left for Wu Xie had been discovered by him.

Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling also saw it, but neither of them asked anything.

Hei Xiazi picked up a camera from the side; there was a photo underneath it.

He pulled it out, raised an eyebrow, and walked to Zhang Qiling's side.

He handed the photo to Zhang Qiling, "Dumb guy, is this something for you too?"
