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

Chapter 122 Reunion after a long absence

(A little something was added to the previous chapter)
With two more wounded suddenly appearing, the situation was critical, and not a second could be wasted.

"How far is it?"

Hua the monk looked like he was about to lose his father, and anxiously asked the fat man.

The fat man replied, "About a kilometer more."

Panzi made a quick decision and said to Fatty, "You continue ahead. We'll shorten the distance between the climbing ropes and hurry up."

Everyone did as instructed, allowing the young man carrying the person and Monk Hua to walk in the middle, reducing the distance between them to the point where they could almost touch each other with an outstretched arm.

﹉﹉﹉

Zhang Wuxun waited in the crevice for more than half an hour, listening to the voice broadcast from the signal terminal indicating that the distance was gradually decreasing, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Finally, amidst the howling of the wind and snow, a few fleeting words were uttered, followed by the crunching sound of shoes squeezing through the snow.

Zhang Wuxun was overjoyed and quickly peeked out.

A group of "snowmen" appeared at the edge of the canyon, standing on top and looking at Zhang Wuxun from afar.

"Tick-tock, the terminal signal target is thirteen meters directly in front."

"Come down quickly!" Zhang Wuxun waved to them and shouted at the top of his lungs, "There's no danger down there."

In his excitement, the fat man leaned forward, but the snow at the edge couldn't support his weight and collapsed with a crash. The fat man rolled down the snow slope left by the previous avalanche.

Suddenly, the climbing rope around Wu Xiaoxie's waist tightened. Before he could even utter a "Holy crap!", he was pulled down by the fat man.

Immediately afterwards, the people behind them screamed like dumplings being dropped into a pot, and they all surged down one after another.

The young man reacted quickly, pulling out his dagger the instant he was dragged away. He plunged it into a crevice in the exposed snow-covered rocks, sliding down more than two meters before stopping, thus avoiding a tumble and fall flat on his back.

The group of people were strung together on the snow slope like candied hawthorns, with Panzi, who was originally at the back, desperately clinging to the rock with his axe in a final struggle.

But Ye Cheng, who was below him, was restless. He had seen something, and his eyes were filled with terror. He pointed behind Zhang Wuxun and shouted incoherently, "Don't go down! Don't go down! What's that coiled up in the snow behind him? It's so big! A monster!"

As he spoke, he struggled and started pulling on the rope to climb up, which made Panzi so angry that he wanted to kick him twice.

"Fuck you, don't move!" Panzi cursed.

Zhang Wuxun was taken aback when they were already right in front of him, then he clutched his stomach and laughed so hard he squatted down.

“You guys…hahaha!”

"Hahaha, that's so stupid!"

I'm so laughing I can't live anymore!
The fat man's big head popped out of the snow. He wiped the snow off his face, and hearing Zhang Wuxun's undisguised mockery, he cursed angrily. He even grabbed a handful of snow from his face and threw it at Zhang Wuxun, "What are you laughing at? Hurry up and come save your fat grandpa!"

Zhang Wuxun laughed until his cheeks ached. He rubbed his face, walked to the bottom of the slope below the fat man, and looked up at him, saying, "Just let go of the rope and jump down. Don't worry, I'll catch you." The slope at the top of the snow slope was relatively gentle, and he could climb it by grabbing the exposed, angular rocks. However, the slope at the bottom was very steep, with a section of about three or four meters that was almost perpendicular to the ground. The fat man was hanging there, his chubby body unable to find any leverage.

The fat man tilted his head and looked down, gritted his teeth, and snapped off the safety buckle. The feeling of weightlessness instantly washed over him.

"Ow—"

Zhang Wuxun seized the opportunity, leaping up and simultaneously shifting his body to the side, kicking the fat man's backpack to relieve some of the force.

Following the force of Zhang Wuxun's kick, the fat man plunged straight into the snowdrift that Zhang Wuxun had previously shoveled up.

Zhang Wuxun quickly ran over and dug him out, removing his equipment.

Wu Xiaoxie and the others, who were hanging on it, slowly climbed up the steep slope, then spotted the snowdrifts below and jumped down one after another.

After catching his breath and feeling less sore and stiff in his legs, Wu Xiaoxie immediately dropped his backpack and headed straight for Zhang Wuxun.

"Dog-wooden fish!"

Zhang Wuxun felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively straightened his body as a fist came pounding towards his chest.

There was a muffled sound.

The force wasn't great, showing that Wu Xiaogou held back his strength in that attack.

After all, he had indeed done something a little unethical, and anyone would be angry in his place. He had long been prepared to get beaten up.

Zhang Wuxun took a light breath, his body remaining perfectly still. He even smiled at Wu Xiaoxie and said with a grin, "I knew you guys would come."

Wu Xiaoxie's initial worry turned into a surge of anger the moment he saw Zhang Wuxun's grinning face. He pulled out a signal device from his pocket and slammed it into Zhang Wuxun's arms, then grabbed his collar with one hand, ready to punch him again.

After holding hands for a long time and staring at Zhang Wuxun's face, he still couldn't bring himself to do it.

All I could do was keep scraping with my eyes, my expression looking like I wanted to eat someone alive.

Zhang Wuxun shrank back and looked to the fat man watching the show for help.

The fat man shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help. Although he wasn't very clear about what exactly happened between the two in the Qinling Mountains, Wu Xiaoxie had been in a hurry and running around looking for the wooden fish during this period. He even went so far as to lower himself to ask his second uncle for help. As a result, he received a package the next day containing a rectangular wooden box.

Wu Xiaoxie was struck dumb, and he didn't even have the courage to open the box, because he was afraid that it contained the ashes of Muyu.

In the end, Panzi used a knife to pry open the mechanism on the wooden box. Inside, he found only a letter and a necklace with an octagonal silver dart as a pendant.

"What are you looking at? You dog-muyu, let me tell you, even the King of Heaven himself can't save you today." Wu Xiaoxie gritted his teeth and said fiercely, his eyes red with anger. "Who the hell do you think you are? A god? You think you're so great? You think you're so powerful? If you want to die, I'll find you a grave right now. Why the hell do you think I'll come all the way to this godforsaken place just because you wrote a stupid letter? Let me tell you, I'm coming down the mountain tomorrow. You can do whatever you want, I'm cutting ties with you!"

Wu Xiaoxie was so angry that he spoke without thinking. As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted them. He was also in a fit of anger and couldn't bring himself to apologize, so he stuck out his neck and put on a stern face.

Zhang Wuxun was completely stunned by the scolding, but knowing he was in the wrong, he could only shut his mouth, lower his head, and silently endure it.
