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

Chapter 130 Avalanche Crisis
On the other side, after resting for a while, Fatty lit the smokeless stove to make tea, keep warm, and cook. Shunzi dutifully told everyone about the origin and legends of the Three Saints Snow Mountain, which everyone listened to with great interest.

After that, Shunzi reminded everyone, "Whatever you bosses want to do, you need to hurry. It's getting dark and we can't set up tents here. We need to find a sheltered and flat place before dark, as it might get windy at night."

All around them was snow, with no distinguishing marks whatsoever. Even experienced people couldn't tell anything from it, let alone Wu Xiaoxie and his companions, who had no experience searching for tombs in snow-covered mountains.

So we still have to rely on Chenpi Asi.

As expected, Chen Pi Asi recovered and, after a brief look at the surrounding mountains, said, "The treasure cave is right under our feet. There's no good way to find it. Let's shovel a few shovelfuls and see what's under the snow before making any further plans."

Snow is much softer than mud, and Hua and his companions worked quickly, soon creating more than a dozen exploratory holes in the snow. Five or six meters below, there was a layer of frozen soil as solid as concrete, which the shovels could not penetrate.

The fat man looked at the tiny ice crystals on the tip of the shovel and asked, "With thousands of years of ice accumulation here, could the burial tombs have frozen into the ice below?"

Wu Xiaoxie nodded and said, "The Luoyang shovel can't penetrate the ice. Even if we know the thing is down there, we can't find it. The main problem is that the snow on top is too much of a hindrance."

Panzi squatted down in front of the hole and looked inside. He said, "When I was in the army, I heard some of my brothers say that when they were in the Greater Khingan Mountains, the production brigade there would regularly go up the snow-covered slopes to clear the snow. They said that with just one blast hole, all the snow could be blasted down, which was very convenient. Why don't we try it too? Once the snow is blasted down, we'll know exactly what's buried underneath, and it will be much easier to pinpoint the location."

Monk Hua put down his shovel, tucked his hands into his sleeves to warm them, and looked up at the speaker. "We do have explosives, but are you sure setting off a bomb here wouldn't be suicide?"

Chen Pi Asi opened his eyes a crack and beckoned Lang Feng over, saying, "Let's listen to the advice of a professional."

Lang Feng had never been very noticeable in the team. Seeing everyone looking at him, he scratched his head awkwardly and said, "This method is feasible. It's not difficult for me to make a blast hole. I can control the power of the explosives."

"Are you sure?" The fat man snorted at him. "This isn't like blowing up a grave. If things go wrong, every one of us could end up buried in this auspicious place."

Monk Hua chuckled, “You guys don’t know this, do you? Our guy here is a twenty-year veteran miner with the title of ‘God of Artillery.’ He started drilling blast holes when he was fourteen. Although he’s only been in this line of work for a year, no one knows more about explosives than him.”

That sounds pretty impressive.

Pan Zi had heard of the title "God of Artillery" but had never interacted with him. Upon hearing this, he looked at Lang Feng with some surprise and said, "So you are the God of Artillery!"

Hearing this, Lang Feng became even more embarrassed and gave a sheepish smile, "It was just a nickname given to me by my colleagues."

After saying that, they began to survey the terrain to find a suitable place to place the explosives.

Seeing that the location and operation of the blasting he had found were exactly the same as in the original plot, Zhang Wuxun immediately pulled Wu Xiaoxie and Fatty to hide under the black bare rocks where he had installed the signal device half a month ago.

Shunzi was nearly driven mad with fear after learning they were going to blow up the mountain. He dropped his teacup and tried to rush over to stop them.

Zhang Wuxun knocked him unconscious and dragged them under the rocks. Then he leaned out and beckoned Xiao Ge and Pan Zi to hide there as well.

Wu Xiaoxie, completely bewildered, huddled with the fat man. The fat man asked curiously, "What? You think this method is inappropriate?"

Zhang Wuxun gave them a reassuring look, "Just in case. Who knows if the title of 'God of Cannons' will work on this snow mountain? What if there's an avalanche?"

Wu Xiaoxie thought for a moment and praised, "That's right, you're so thoughtful." He then squeezed further into the crevice to make room for the young man who was coming over. "Can we hide here?"

"It should be possible." After saying this, Zhang Wuxun peeked out and found that Pan Zi was a bit far away and hadn't heard him calling. He saw that Lang Feng had already prepared the explosives with his professional skills and was assembling the detonators into a special stress model.

Zhang Wuxun panicked, pulled a climbing rope from his backpack, ran over and tied the rope around Pan Zi's waist, securing it securely. He then tied the other end to his own waist and scrambled back under the rocks in a few steps.

Pan Zi found his nervous actions somewhat amusing. Looking at the few rabbits huddled obediently under the rocks, he gave them an OK sign, and then retreated with Lang Feng and the others to a slightly smaller bare rock on the other side.

Lang Feng pressed the remote control in his hand.

I didn't hear a sound.

Just as everyone was wondering if there was a problem with the explosives, suddenly, several long black cracks appeared on the smooth snow surface. Before anyone could react, large chunks of snow slid slowly down the slope like a waterfall, quickly revealing the uneven layer of ice and snow underneath.

The fat man had just given a thumbs up and hadn't even uttered a word of praise when a snowball fell from the sky and hit Lang Feng on the head.

Everyone looked up in confusion.

The fat man realized something, his expression changed drastically, and he shushed everyone, immediately silencing them.

There was movement overhead. Countless tiny black cracks appeared on the snow slope above, spreading at a terrifying speed. Then, large and small chunks of snow crashed down at an extremely fast speed, shattering as they cascaded down the slope of the ice.

In an instant, snowflakes and powdery mist filled the air as far as the eye could see.

The avalanche came quickly and went quickly. The snow crystals floated in the air and touched people's faces, feeling cool like a fine drizzle.

Zhang Wuxun wiped the melted snowflakes from his face and was about to call Wu Xiaoxie and the others out when suddenly, the climbing rope tied around his waist, connecting him and Pan Zi, tightened abruptly. Immediately, a tremendous force came from the other end of the rope, and Zhang Wuxun was pulled out of the way before he could react, falling onto the rough ice and seeing stars.

The fat man behind him yelled "Holy crap!" and swiftly grabbed Zhang Wuxun's foot. His plump body slammed onto the ice with a thud, providing significant cushioning and giving Zhang Wuxun time to react.

Zhang Wuxun conjured a claw hook in his palm, which quickly pierced into the ice beneath him and held it in place. The pull from below caused him to spin around halfway, lying diagonally across the ice. The immense pull seemed to be about to break his waist, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Wooden fish!"

Wu Xiaoxie, who was a beat slow to react, quickly lunged forward and grabbed the fat man's belt, using all his strength to pull him towards the bottom of the rock.

The young man had already leaped onto the ice, half-kneeling to lower his center of gravity, his face tense as he gripped the rope that was pulling Zhang Wuxun with both hands and pulled in the opposite direction.

The muffled collapse sounds finally stopped. With the help of Xiao Ge and the others, Zhang Wu found a chance to catch his breath. He made many sharp iron spikes and stuck them around his body to fix himself on the ice. Then he said urgently to Xiao Ge.

"Quick, something's happened to Panzi!"
