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

Chapter 186 Battle Against the Forbidden Woman
Zhang Wuxun placed the knife in his hand on the side of the stairs, and he and Xiao Ge each held one end of the coffin lid.

The three of them worked together and lifted the lid up and moved it to the side, revealing a half-meter gap.

The coffin was empty.

Zhang Wuxun gestured to Hei Xiazi, then lowered his voice and said, "Please begin your performance."

Hei Xiazi pushed up his sunglasses, raised an eyebrow, and said in English, "No problem."

He then jumped into the empty coffin, tapped the stone slab at the bottom with his finger, listened for a few seconds, then stepped back a little, reached out and grabbed a small iron ring on the coffin wall, and pulled it into his arms.

"Crunch," the stone slabs made a sound as they rubbed against each other, and one of them sank to the bottom, revealing a dark hole.

Zhang Wuxun watched as Hei Xiazi disappeared into the cave, gripping his knife and standing guard alongside Xiao Ge, his attention focused more on an iron gate not far behind the coffin.

Wu Xiaoxie is currently inside, lighting a lighter and reading the notes left by Chen Wenjin. Huo Ling, who has become the Forbidden Woman, should be appearing soon.

A dozen minutes later, a loud crash came from inside the iron gate.

Zhang Wuxun's heart skipped a beat. He immediately drew his sword and rushed over, kicking open the iron gate. His eyes locked onto the location of the Forbidden Woman, and he conjured a bottle of alcohol in his hand, throwing it directly onto the roof where the Forbidden Woman was clinging to.

There was a "click".

The wine bottle shattered, and although the old woman instinctively stepped back, she still inevitably got quite a bit of it on her.

Zhang Wuxun quickly lit a lighter and threw it over. The alcohol ignited with a ghostly blue flame the moment it met the fire. In an instant, the Forbidden Woman's wildly flying hair was set ablaze, and she screamed shrilly as she ran wildly around the room.

With a crash and a bang, all the furnishings in the room were overturned and thrown into chaos. Taking advantage of the situation, Zhang Wuxun grabbed Wu Xiaoxie and pushed him out of the iron gate. "Let's go!"

Wu Xiaoxie was nearly scared to death. If Zhang Wuxun's hands hadn't been warm, he would have jumped up and banged his head against the ceiling.

At this moment, the Forbidden Woman had extinguished most of the fire on her body. Her pale, grotesque face was contorted with rage, and her limbs lay on the ground like boneless mollusks, coldly staring at Zhang Wuxun.

Zhang Wuxun cursed inwardly, "This thing can even level up? The forbidden woman in the underwater tomb runs away at the sight of fire, so how come this one can go toe-to-toe with fire?"

This place is not safe to stay in. Zhang Wuxun gripped the knife in one hand and slowly approached the handle of the iron gate with the other.

The door opens inwards; as long as it's locked from the outside, with the old woman's muddled mind, she'll never be able to open it by brute force.

Zhang Wuxun finally touched the doorknob with his right hand, his eyes fixed on the Forbidden Woman, and his left foot silently took a step back.

Just as he lifted his other foot, before he could make any move, the old woman who had been lying on the ground suddenly sprang up and appeared at Zhang Wuxun's feet in a flash. She grabbed Zhang Wuxun's ankle and her sharp claws pierced into his flesh. The whole process was completed almost instantly, so fast that it was unbelievable.

"Damn it!" Zhang Wu cursed in pain.

With a flick of his left hand, he lashed out with the back of his knife, sending the old woman, who was still trying to wrap herself around him, tumbling over. The old woman's arm, which looked like bare white bone and seemed fragile as if it would break at the slightest touch, was actually incredibly strong. It twisted several times during the roll and still stubbornly held onto his ankle.

Zhang Wuxun's brows furrowed, and he slashed downwards with the skull blade. The Forbidden Woman let out an even more miserable wail, her voice sharp and unpleasant, as if it could pierce one's eardrums.

Zhang Wuxun didn't dare to delay for a moment. He quickly retreated, slammed the iron gate shut, and pulled over the iron chain that had fallen to the ground to secure the gate tightly.

The Forbidden Woman was thrashing and banging on the door from inside. In the empty and silent basement, each bang was like thunder, deafening and deafening. Zhang Wuxun stood in front of the door and listened for a while. Only after confirming that the Forbidden Woman couldn't get out did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Wooden fish? Bro? What are you all doing here?"

Wu Xiaoxie's hands and feet were restrained by Xiao Ge, and he could not move. He could only huddle with him in front of the large stone coffin.

After Zhang Wuxun came out, the young man confirmed that the old woman was still locked inside and hadn't followed him out, before releasing her from the restraints.

Wu Xiaoxie took a couple of quick breaths and finally voiced the question that had been on his mind.

Suddenly I felt something hot in my nose, like something was flowing out. It was a little itchy. I rubbed the back of my hand under my nose and sniffed. I immediately cried out in pain, "Ouch!"

Just now, the Forbidden Woman was hanging on Wu Xiaoxie's head, her wet hair hanging down her neck. The hair on his back stood on end instantly, his mind went blank, and he ran out purely on his survival instinct.

But the lighter went out, and in the pitch black he couldn't see anything. In his panic, he ran and bumped into the desk. At that moment, his adrenaline surged to the top of his head, and he didn't feel any pain. But now that he's relaxed, the pain shot straight to his forehead, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Holy crap, I hope I didn't break his bones!
Wu Xiaoxie quickly covered his nose and carefully touched it. He immediately winced in pain, but his bones were still fine. He quickly took out some toilet paper, rolled it into two long strips, and stuffed them into his nostrils to stop the bleeding.

Zhang Wuxun sheathed his sword and sat down next to Wu Xiaoxie and the other man.

The young man smelled a distinctive scent of blood, frowned, and looked at Zhang Wuxun's ankle. "You're injured."

"It's nothing." Zhang Wuxun waved his hand dismissively, pulled the forbidden woman's claws that were still stuck in his flesh, threw them aside, and rolled up his trouser leg, revealing five horrifying bloody holes on his fair calves.

Wu Xiaoxie gasped in shock and asked anxiously, "Where's the first-aid kit? Did you bring it?"

Zhang Wuxun looked up at him and, seeing the blood on his hands, frowned and asked, "Where are you hurt?"

Wu Xiaoxie cursed at him, "What the hell am I hurt? It's just a nosebleed, what's the big deal? You should be more concerned about yourself, God, don't you feel that your leg is all ripped open?"

Zhang Wuxun chuckled self-deprecatingly, "I miscalculated. I didn't expect this forbidden woman to be so difficult to deal with."

"Stop talking nonsense." Wu Xiaoxie asked the young man to shine the light on him and reached out, "Hurry up and take out the medicine. If you keep dawdling, you'll bleed dry."

Zhang Wuxun sighed. Why did Xiao Tianzhen seem so much more irritable this time? There must be something strange about this place.

He took out Yunnan Baiyao (a traditional Chinese medicine), gauze, and a small bottle of iodine from his pocket and handed them to Wu Xiaoxie.

Wu Xiaoxie was now quite skilled at treating wounds, and quickly bandaged it up before pulling down Zhang Wuxun's trouser leg.

He glanced at the Forbidden Woman's claws beside him and said worriedly, "I wonder if those Forbidden Woman's claws are poisonous. Why don't you go to the hospital and get a rabies vaccine as a precaution?"

Zhang Wuxun thought what he said made a lot of sense. Regardless of whether it was poisonous or not, bacteria were bound to be present in such a terrible environment, so he still had to get a tetanus shot.

After struggling for a while, the forbidden woman inside the iron gate, seeing that she couldn't break through the gate, could only let out a resentful roar before giving up.
