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

Chapter 162 Nine Dragons Carrying the Coffin
Zhang Wuxun lay on the ground, utterly dejected. It was so damn embarrassing.

It's a massive social disaster scene. If he weren't currently unable to move, they probably would have dug out the entire three-bedroom apartment.

The flashlight beam was too diffuse, and it was so blurry below that it was impossible to see anything clearly. It was unclear where Zhang Wuxun had landed after falling.

Aning's men coated several flares with the paint from glow sticks, scattered them, and then fired a few bursts of fire, hitting the flares and causing them to burst into flames instantly.

In an instant, the entire rift valley floor became as bright as day.

"Wooden fish?" The fat man quickly scrambled down and ran to Zhang Wuxun's side to help him up. "Where did you fall? Can you get up?"

Zhang Wuxun: ...

The fat man exclaimed, "Oh no! Tianzhen, come quick! Has Muyu fallen and lost his mind? Why is he staring at me with his eyes wide open and not saying a word?"

Zhang Wuxun: ...You're the idiot!

Hurry up and help me up, or I'll really get suffocated by the stench if I lie down any longer.

Wu Xiaoxie stepped down and asked anxiously, "Muyu, how are you? Where does it hurt? Can't you speak? What should I do now?"

Aning jumped down from the last bronze chain, frowned in disgust at the bird droppings all over the ground, and looked at Zhang Wuxun lying in the droppings. Her disgust only increased when she saw him, but she still asked in the spirit of cooperation, "Mr. Wu, how is your guy? Does he need my team doctor's help?"

Zhang Wuxun's body trembled, and he hurriedly concentrated his remaining strength on his mouth, finally managing to move his lips slightly, "No..." No, absolutely not.

Although the voice was faint, Wu Xiaoxie still heard it. Seeing Zhang Wuxun's resolute look, she declined on his behalf, "No need. I was just stunned from the fall. I'll be fine after a while."

Zhang Wuxun was so moved he almost cried. "Little Tianzhen understands me so well."

Wu Xiaoxie looked at Zhang Wuxun and tentatively asked, "Shall I help you up?"

Zhang Wuxun blinked rapidly. Huh? He seems to be able to move a little bit.

Wu Xiaoxie and Fatty helped Zhang Wuxun lean against a slightly cleaner black volcanic rock.

"What happened to you? How did you suddenly fall? And your tattoo has reappeared." Wu Xiaoxie lowered his voice, frowning as he looked at the crimson tattoo that had spread to the right side of Zhang Wuxun's face, hesitating to speak, "Did you just do what happened to you in the underwater tomb last time...? What's going on with this tattoo?"

Zhang Wuxun shook his head with a wry smile, because he himself only had a vague understanding of it. During his trip to the Qinling Mountains, he clearly felt that the system's attitude towards the tattoo was very friendly and even a little respectful. However, when he asked, the system always avoided the important points or simply dismissed him with a casual "The host is not authorized to know at the moment."

Zhang Wuxun became increasingly frustrated; what kind of mess was this?

Wu Xiaoxie sighed, "Alright, stop thinking about it. Since I can't say, I won't ask. You rest here and if you feel unwell, just call me. I'll go check on Fatty."

Zhang Wuxun nodded, watching Wu Xiaoxie get up and walk over to Fatty and Panzi.

The body's sensations were gradually returning, and the previously restless Crimson Flame Tattoo suddenly quieted down for some reason.

Zhang Wuxun breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as this damn tattoo didn't cause trouble at a crucial moment, he would be thankful.

Seeing the Nine Dragons Carrying the Coffin up close, the fat man was already excitedly rubbing his hands together, ready to rush up and fight.

Halfway there, he was stopped by A-Ning.

"Don't go over there, it's dangerous! Didn't you see the centipede under the coffin?" Aning whispered.

The fat man glanced over there, pursed his lips, and said, "Hey grandma, what's wrong with your eyes? What danger could a few stone worms pose? Don't scare yourself."

A Ning raised her eyebrows and sneered, "I don't care what kind of eyes you have, but they're still much better than yours. Take a good look at what's on the stone platform." "What could be on the stone platform?" Wu Xiaoxie wondered.

Fatty and Ah Ning's men were equally confused.

Ah Ning was furious with these idiots. She pointed her flashlight at the stone platform, and the beam of light shone on a corner of the stone carving, where it seemed abnormally smooth.

Suddenly, the stone platform moved.

To everyone's horror, they discovered that an enormous volcanic centipede, five or six meters long, was coiled around the stone platform.

Then, everyone discovered that there was more than one of these giant centipedes.

Nine volcanic centipedes coiled around the stone platform, like a relief on the stone, almost blending into the platform itself.

"My God!" The fat man gasped, and cold sweat poured down his face.

With so many big insects, if he hadn't been able to stop and had pounced on them, he wouldn't be alive now.

Look at those menacing pincers! Even if Fatty had a ton of meat, it wouldn't be enough for them to swarm and take all the points.

The fat man felt increasingly frightened as he thought about it, so he quickly put his hands together and bowed to A Ning, saying, "Thank you for reminding me, Aunt Ning. I almost died here today."

Ah Ning rolled her eyes and said irritably, "You're overthinking it. I just don't want my men to die in vain."

As she spoke, her eyes lit up with an idea. "Since you want to express your gratitude, why not do something practical?"

The fat man's anus tightened, and he swallowed hard. "What?"

Ah Ning curled the corners of her mouth and said, "The people in my team are okay at fighting, but when it comes to tomb raiding, they can't compare to you professionals."

The fat man's alarm bells rang, and he cursed under his breath, "This woman really isn't hiding anything good."

Then A Ning said, "We have gone through many hardships to get here. Now that the coffin of the King of Wan Nu is right in front of us, how can we not open it and take a look? Moreover, I just discovered that the tails of the nine centipedes are locked to the stone pillars around the stone platform by bronze chains. In addition, they are currently in hibernation. We can use the suspension method to lift the coffin lid without disturbing them."

“However, this requires professional guidance.” Ah Ning looked at the fat man with a smile. “Mr. Wang? What do you think?”

The fat man felt like he'd been cursed out, but he gritted his teeth and forced a smile, saying, "I think your idea is excellent."

Ah Ning raised her hand and said, "Then please."

The fat man took a deep breath, hardened his heart, and said, "Let's go!"

Aning's men tied two climbing ropes around the waists of Fatty and Kirk.

The fat man rubbed his hands together, took a step, paused, turned to look at Wu Xiaoxie beside him, and asked, "How's the wooden fish?"

Wu Xiaoxie was taken aback. Seeing the fat man's expression as if he was about to die a heroic death, he thought the guy was planning to leave his last words.

"I'll go take a look." Wu Xiaoxie turned and ran back to Zhang Wuxun's side.

Beside the black volcanic rocks, Zhang Wuxun had already stood up and started to stretch his muscles.

Chapter Two: Don't wait any longer, I have something to do tomorrow and need to get up early, so I can't stay up late writing tonight.
