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

Chapter 103 Hell Tentacles
Wu Xiaoxie was stunned for a moment, then snapped back, "Nonsense, are you trying to trick me?"

Lao Yang shook his head, untied the ropes binding Wu Xiaoxie's feet, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Lao Wu, I really didn't want to get you involved, but I really miss my mom so much."

Just as Wu Xiaoxie was about to curse him, the ground beneath them suddenly shook violently. The tree hole they were in seemed to have been hit by a huge attack, and the whole thing began to collapse. Something was wriggling along the ground beneath their feet, as if it could burst out of the soil at any moment, and the cracks around them were getting bigger and bigger.

"What's going on?" Wu Xiaoxie exclaimed in shock. "Is it an earthquake?"

"wrong!"

Old Yang's expression turned serious. Suddenly, he thought of something and turned to look at Wu Xiaoxie. "Old Wu, what was your first impression when you saw this bronze tree?"

Wu Xiaoxie was stunned, and muttered, "My first impression... I was thinking, this is so deep, could it be a path to hell... Hiss, no way, what's down there isn't..."

"Idiot!" Lao Yang kicked Wu Xiaoxie away from his spot. The next second, a tentacle as thick as a banyan tree that would take three people to encircle emerged from where he had just been standing. At the very top of the tentacle was a huge, lantern-like eyeball that glowed red, standing tall and scrutinizing the two small ants who had lost their footing and fallen to the ground.

With a "bang," a spark flew as the bullet struck the eye, spraying foul-smelling green fluid everywhere.

"Run!"

Lao Yang fired a shot, then immediately ran over, pulled Wu Xiaoxie up, and crawled out through a crack in the tree hole.

The tentacle was suddenly struck, stunned for a second, and then enraged. Its huge lantern-like eye tilted back and opened, revealing a gaping maw with sharp, menacing teeth that sent chills down one's spine. It took a big bite at the gap where the two had escaped, and with a snap, it bit the gap open even wider, chasing after Wu Xiaoxie and the other person.

In their panic, Lao Yang and Wu Xiaoxie fled indiscriminately, scrambling into any hole they could find. The tentacles behind them swarmed relentlessly like maggots, their destructive power immense, tearing through and collapsing any tree holes they passed. Even after the tentacles emerged, the tremors beneath their feet didn't cease; instead, they intensified. Wu Xiaoxie and Lao Yang stumbled and fell every few steps, their escape becoming increasingly difficult.

A gaping chasm appeared ahead. Lao Yang shouted, took a few running steps, and leaped up, almost crossing to the other side.

Suddenly, Wu Xiaoxie's eyelids twitched, and he had a strong premonition of something bad.

The next moment, a tentacle suddenly shot out from the chasm, aimed directly at Lao Yang in mid-air, and a sharp tooth was about to break Lao Yang in half.

"Old Itch!"

Wu Xiaoxie's eyes were bloodshot, but he could only shout out in vain.

Just then, a vine as thick as a wrist suddenly appeared out of nowhere and snatched away Lao Yang, who was about to fall into the tiger's mouth, with lightning speed.

With a whoosh, Lao Yang vanished from the gaping maw. His sharp teeth missed their mark, colliding with the flying pebbles with a thud, shattering the stones instantly, demonstrating the terrifying force of his bite.

Wu Xiaoxie was initially delighted, but his expression changed drastically as the tentacles, having failed to bite their target, turned their attention to him instead.

Damn it!
Wu Xiaoxie turned and ran, his legs swinging like wheels of fire as he ran across the gaping chasm. He swore he had never run so fast in his life.
