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

Chapter 157 Encountering Uncle Three
Seeing Ah Ning suffering, the fat man watched the spectacle with glee. "What's that saying again? Oh, look up and see, who can escape the wrath of Heaven? She schemed against us in the underwater tomb, and now even the heavens can't stand it anymore. Hey, Mu Yu, Tian Zhen, Lao Pan, what do you think, should we give them a hand?"

Panzi shook his head, "We'll have to wait until a few more of them die, otherwise we'll be at a disadvantage."

The fat man chuckled, "Then we might as well just mow them down; they'll die even faster."

Wu Xiaoxie felt that someone in the encirclement looked familiar. He squinted and tried hard to see the person's face below. He was already a little nearsighted, and with the foreigner carrying the person swaying back and forth, he still couldn't see clearly after looking for a long time. He quickly patted Zhang Wuxun's arm and pointed to the person in the inner part of the encirclement who seemed to have fainted and was not moving, and said urgently, "Muyu, your eyes are good. Quickly help me see if that person below is my third uncle."

Before Zhang Wuxun could answer, Pan Zi exclaimed, "That's Third Master!"

"Really?!" Wu Xiaoxie was somewhat incredulous.

Zhang Wuxun's voice was slightly deep, "It is indeed your third uncle, and his condition doesn't look good."

Wu Xiaoxie became even more anxious upon hearing this, "What do we do? How do we get down?"

“Simple.” Zhang Wuxun reached out and grabbed Wu Xiaoxie by the back of his collar, saying, “Hold on tight.”

Before Wu Xiaoxie could react, Zhang Wuxun grabbed him and lifted him up, onto the railing of the corridor, and then leaped down into the small open space in the middle of the crowd.

"Ow—"

A scream rang out reflexively, echoing throughout the entire tomb.

Wu Xiaoxie felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and the feeling of weightlessness lasted for less than a second before he landed steadily on the ground.

The centipedes around them scattered as if they had seen a ghost, and retreated in a rush like a tide.

Zhang Wuxun released Wu Xiaoxie's hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "You've snapped out of it."

Wu Xiaoxie snapped out of his shock, his legs still a little weak. He steadied himself by holding onto Zhang Wuxun's arm and immediately punched him, yelling, "You son of a bitch, couldn't you have given me a heads-up? You scared the hell out of me!"

When an adrenaline surges, most people feel weak in the limbs, so Wu Xiaoxie's punches felt like tickling.

Zhang Wuxun smiled and patted his head lightly, "Go see how your third uncle is doing."

Wu Xiaoxie made two "oh" sounds and muttered, "I almost forgot because I was scared."

But before they could take two steps, Ah Ning's men raised their guns at them as if they were facing a formidable enemy, their faces filled with horror as if they had seen some kind of monster.

Wu Xiaoxie was baffled and frowned. "What's going on? Are you guys crazy? Why are you pointing a gun at me?"

Zhang Wuxun's face darkened. He stepped forward to block Wu Xiaoxie, stared at A Ning standing behind the team members, and said coldly, "We've known each other for a long time. Is this how Miss A Ning treats her savior?"

Ah Ning's pretty face darkened, clearly recalling some unpleasant memories, but she still stepped forward and gestured for her men to put down their guns. "We're on the same side, we've worked together before, put your guns down."

Ah Ning's men then put away their guns, but their eyes remained wary as they looked at Zhang Wuxun and Wu Xiaoxie.

Zhang Wuxun didn't even spare them a glance, and led Wu Xiaoxie straight to the foreigner guarding Wu Sansheng.

Fatty and Panzi also lowered the rope and climbed down. Panzi ran anxiously towards Wu Sansheng.

The fat man tiptoed over to take a look, and seeing that there was nothing seriously wrong, he raised his hand and greeted Ah Ning's men with practiced ease.

"How come you are here?"

Ah Ning asked a question, then turned around and sat on her backpack, while the accompanying doctor treated her wounds.

The fat man grinned slyly, "This is what they call the White Snake Lady finding a partner. Those destined to meet will meet even if they are a thousand miles apart, while those not destined to meet will strip naked and hug each other but still complain about each other's roughness. Would you believe me if I said I was just passing by?"

Ah Ning was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and said bluntly, "I don't care about your purpose, just don't delay my business, otherwise don't blame me for not giving you face later."

The fat man was displeased. "How can you talk like that, woman? We've worked together so many times. Last time, it was my Muyu who saved your life from the Forbidden Woman. There's a saying that goes, 'Women and petty men are the hardest to deal with.' In my opinion, that saying perfectly describes you. You take advantage of others and then turn your back on them. Humph, dream on."

Seeing that Ah Ning was in the wrong, the fat man became even more emboldened, "If you ask me..."

The two started arguing as they talked, while Wu Xiaoxie, seeing his third uncle's miserable state, was on the verge of tears.

Looking at Wu Sansheng's chest covered with festering, suppurating sores, teeming with centipedes that had burrowed halfway through their bodies, only their tails and whiskers showing, and even more swarming beneath his skin in a pitch-black mass, it was enough to trigger trypophobia.

Zhang Wuxun Guang felt dizzy looking at him, wondering what the old fox had done to make himself look like this; it was a truly pitiful sight.

Suppressing his nausea, Zhang Wuxun took out a medical kit from his backpack, opened it, and gave Wu Sansheng a small dose of anesthesia. Then, he used a sterilized scalpel to cut open the skin, picked out the worms, and threw them into a smokeless furnace to burn them to death.

Wu Xiaoxie stood guard to one side, her eyes red.

Pan Zi assumed Wu Sansheng was being tortured by A Ning's men, and, enraged, grabbed the foreigner next to him, pinned him to the ground, and started punching him while cursing, "What have you sons of bitches done to Third Master?!"

Aning directed several people to drag him away and hold him down. Several times, Panzi almost broke free. Aning became impatient and said coldly, "If we hadn't arrived in time, your Third Master would have been torn to pieces by the centipede swarm."

The foreigner, who had just been punched, stood to the side looking aggrieved and explained, "When we found him at the bottom of the coffin well, he was already lying in a pile of insects. We thought he was dead at the time, but then we found out he was still alive. The team leader said that this old man knew a lot of things and that we had to take him with us. I didn't know he had these things on him, otherwise I would never have carried him!"

Everyone's attention was focused on Pan Zi. Zhang Wuxun caught a glimpse of Wu Sansheng's hand, which was hanging on the ground, move slightly and touch Wu Xiaoxie's hand. Wu Xiaoxie's sorrowful expression froze for a moment, then she clenched her fist without making a sound, put it in her pocket, and then raised her eyelids and winked at Zhang Wuxun.

Zhang Wuxun understood, turned his head to look at the side where they were facing off, and said, "Brother Pan, come over and lend a hand. There are a few that have burrowed in quite deep."

Pan Zi suppressed his anger and growled, "Let me go right now!"

Ah Ning glanced at Zhang Wuxun, frowned, and raised her hand to signal her subordinates to release Pan Zi.
