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

Chapter 160 Two Bronze Fish
Ah Ning was furious. "You bunch of grown men can't be more petty than a woman like me, can you?"

Wu Xiaoxie understood now. He glanced at Zhang Wuxun, and seeing Zhang Wuxun nod, he asked, "Is there someone named Wu Laosi in your team?"

Ah Ning asked curiously, "How did you know?"

Wu Xiaoxie pulled out two snake-browed bronze fish from the inside pocket of his down jacket, spread them out in his palm, and before he could speak, he heard A Ning exclaim, "Heavens! You actually have two... Wu Laosi, come here quickly!"

Ah Ning turned around and waved. A Chinese man stepped out of the group. When he saw the two fish in Wu Xiaoxie's hand, his expression changed drastically, and he instinctively reached out to grab them.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The fat man blocked him with his arm.

Wu Laosi stared intently at the snake-browed bronze fish, his eyes seemingly glued to the spot, his expression one of excitement as if he were seeing a legendary deity.

Wu Xiaoxie was taken aback, not expecting such a strong reaction, and asked him, "Can you translate?"

Wu Laosi nodded frantically.

Wu Xiaoxie then handed over the snake-browed bronze fish, saying, "Everything you want to know is in here."

Wu Laosi accepted the bronze fish with both hands in a reverent manner, his eyes filled with eagerness as if he were holding the ancestral tablet of his own ancestors.

The light from the flashlight shone through the scales, casting dappled patterns of light on the stone wall.

The content inside, when translated, is roughly the same as the meaning of the bronze fish mentioned by Monk Hua. Both say that the King of Ten Thousand Slaves is not human. However, it adds that only after the previous King of Ten Thousand Slaves dies will a new King of Ten Thousand Slaves crawl out of the bronze door to take over.

Wang Zanghai also recounted how he was trapped here for ten years, during which he saw an open bronze door from which hellfire spewed out, burning everything away and preventing Changbai Mountain from turning white.

This sounds absurd. If everything had really burned to ashes, how did Wang Zanghai survive? Was he some kind of reincarnation of Sun Wukong, unafraid even of the flames of hell?
The underground palace was built in a volcanic basin. In the fat man's words, the old man was probably scared out of his wits by the volcanic eruption. In addition, the ancients would imagine miracles when they saw some incomprehensible natural phenomena, so it is not surprising that Wang Zanghai would have terrifying associations.

The ultimate secret is so alluring that countless people flock to it, and Wang Zanghai is certainly not the only one who has entered the Bronze Gate throughout history.

Zhang Wuxun counted on his fingers; just those he knew included Chen Wenjin, Xiao Ge, Xi Wangmu, Zhou Muwang, and all the previous Zhang family patriarchs—he couldn't count them all on two hands.

The Wang family, lurking in the shadows, were also eyeing what lay behind the bronze door, but they were misled by the clues deliberately left behind by the Zhang family and couldn't find their way here.

The ultimate secret remains a closely guarded secret among those who have entered.

If you really want to know, besides going in and taking a look yourself, you can ask the old monster sleeping in the jade cocoon hidden in the meteorite. The system should know a little bit. After the sacrifice in Qinling, Zhang Wuxun vaguely guessed that the system's ultimate goal must be related to the ultimate.

The existence of the system should also be related to the ultimate energy of the same attribute, as well as the destruction of the reclusive tribe associated with his other tattoo.

He even lied to me, saying it was made up of the thoughts of countless rice grains outside the tomb raiding world. What bullshit! He's a complete liar!

The frustrating thing is that Zhang Wuxun can't even get into the bronze gate right now. His other bloodline is the biggest obstacle. Before he even gets close to the bronze gate, the tattoo is already growing rapidly as if it's come alive. If he really goes in, Zhang Wuxun's life will probably be over.

"My head hurts, my head hurts," Zhang Wuxun rubbed his temples. "Oh well, things will work themselves out. At worst, I'll just stay far away, take a quick look at the bronze gate, and then disappear. Yes, that's it."

Suddenly feeling someone touch his arm, Zhang Wuxun looked up, his eyes questioning.

Wu Xiaoxie pointed to his neck and made a lifting gesture, looking somewhat worried.

Zhang Wuxun understood immediately, pulled up his collar to cover the exposed lines, and gave him a reassuring look.

Just then, one of A Ning's men ran over and said that there was a hidden door on one side of the coffin well, hidden by several coffins. The simple mechanism on the hidden door had been sabotaged beforehand, and a familiar mark appeared inside. A Ning looked at Wu Xiaoxie suspiciously, "This mark wasn't left by you?"

Wu Xiaoxie shook his head seriously, "No, we're wondering about that too."

Ah Ning smiled enigmatically, presumably indicating that she hadn't received the letter.

The subordinates reported that all the coffins here were fake shadow coffins. Once opened, they would activate a mechanism to release the insect-scented jade inside, which was how they fell for it just now.

Ah Ning beckoned her men to gather their equipment and come over. "Someone has already gone into the secret door here, which means this is a double-layered tomb. The real coffin should still be downstairs."

"You two go down and take a look," Ah Ning said, pointing to two of her men.

The two men approached the hidden door, peering into the dark passage below, their faces showing concern. "Boss, what if... there are still those kinds of bugs down there?"

As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at Zhang Wuxun and Wu Xiaoxie.

Undoubtedly, the scene where the two of them suddenly appeared out of nowhere like saviors and effortlessly repelled the swarm of insects was truly astounding.

The poor foreigners may not know how to shout "Holy crap!", but that doesn't stop them from thinking Zhang Wuxun and his companion are awesome.

At this moment, in the eyes of these foreigners who had never seen the world, Zhang Wuxun and his companion were like saviors.

Ah Ning smiled at Wu Xiaoxie and his companion, "Mr. Wu, and your colleague, thank you for your trouble."

Last time when they went to Xisha, Zhang Wuxun claimed that he was hired by Wu Xiaoxie to avoid trouble, so A Ning always thought that Wu Xiaoxie and Zhang Wuxun had an employer-employee relationship.

Zhang Wuxun patted Wu Xiaoxie on the shoulder and said, "I'll go down first, you follow behind."

Afterwards, he said to Fatty and Panzi, "I'll signal you after I'm sure it's safe, then you two can bring Third Master down."

"Don't worry, no problem." The fat man put his arm around Panzi's shoulder and gave him an OK sign.

Pan Zi was a little worried. "Mu Yu, Third Master, why don't you two take the guns with you?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Ning took two Type 54 pistols from her subordinate and said, "Use these. Rifles are too long, and you won't be able to use them effectively in case of any danger."

Zhang Wuxun raised an eyebrow, took the guns, checked them both, and found the magazines were full. He then handed one of them to Wu Xiaoxie and said with a smile, "Thanks."

He turned to Wu Xiaoxie and said, "Let's go, Tianzhen."

After saying that, he tucked the pistol into his back belt, slung the knife over his shoulder, turned on the flashlight, and went into the hidden door first.

Wu Xiaoxie followed his movements closely.

The passage inside the hidden door slopes downwards, and at a corner, the slope becomes increasingly steep.

Zhang Wuxun stopped, leaning against the wall of the passage, and turned to Wu Xiaoxie, saying, "There's no danger down there, tell them to come down."
