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

Chapter 236 Heavenly Palace Video Recording
One of Mop's henchmen came over and kicked several people sitting by the fire to the ground, laughing and cursing, "Why don't you get up and give Young Master a seat? Standing there like a log, what kind of behavior is that?"

Just as Wu Xiaoxie was about to modestly say no, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a person lying at his feet with a black face and wide-open eyes. He was obviously dead, and the kind of person who died with his eyes wide open.

He was so frightened that he reflexively took two or three steps back, his face full of horror.

Upon seeing this, everyone around burst into laughter.

Zhang Wuxun stepped forward and kicked the men aside, piling them up. He patted Wu Xiaoxie on the shoulder to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, they're just a few mannequins in diving suits. They're probably there to guard the camp. With a fire nearby, the snakes won't be able to tell the difference between real people and mannequins using their heat sensors."

Wu Xiaoxie carefully examined the mannequins and found that they were indeed black diving suits stuffed with something to make them bulge out. They had gas masks on their faces, and two chewing gum eyes were stuck to the bottom of the transparent covers. He wondered who was so malicious as to put two blackened charcoal slags on them.

At first glance, it really looks like a corpse, which is really scary.

Wu Xiaoxie couldn't help but laugh; he had seen so many dead people along the way that it had become a conditioned reflex.

Zhang Wuxun fed some water to the fat man lying in the sleeping bag, letting him continue sleeping and recover his strength.

Mop's men somehow managed to break off a lot of tree branches. Some were used to build a fire, while others were tied together in a crisscross pattern to make new mannequins. They dressed the mannequins and placed them at the entrance of the grotto and in the collapsed areas inside the cave.

Sulfur balls were thrown into several bonfires, and the rising yellow smoke filled the entire cave. The pungent smell of sulfur, combined with the damp stench of the men's shoes, was quite unpleasant. It was practically a biological weapon. I doubt the snakes would dare to approach without the sulfur.

Zhang Wuxun's eyes stung from the fumes, so he took out a bottle of eye drops, put two drops in his eyes, and then moved to a place far away from the group to keep watch over the fat man.

Hei Xiazi took out a compressed biscuit and leisurely munched on it. Seeing this, he glanced at Zhang Wuxun and asked with a grin, "What's wrong with him?"

Wu Xiaoxie laughed and said, "A person who is particular about cleanliness is different from us rough men. I remember the first time we met, I touched a dog that smelled of corpses and patted his shoulder without washing my hands. His face turned green at the time, and without saying a word, he took out a bottle of disinfectant and sprayed it all over his shoulder. He was a serious germaphobe. He's better now."

As he spoke, he suddenly felt a tickle in his nose, sneezed, rubbed his nose, and continued, "Given the smell in here, the fact that they didn't just take out their gas masks and put them on is already a sign of respect for us."

Before he could finish speaking, something covered in plastic hit him on the back of the head. Zhang Wuxun's lazy voice rang out, "Talking bad about me? Do you think I'm deaf or can't hear you from this distance?"

Wu Xiaoxie chuckled, reached into the back of his collar and took out a mint, unwrapped it and popped it into his mouth, mumbling, "No, I was just praising you. I was telling Hei Xiazi about your great achievements."

Zhang Wuxun chuckled and said nothing more. After checking on the fat man, he leaned against his backpack, holding the young man's knife, and closed his eyes to rest.

Wu Sansheng walked over with a laptop and sat down. He was pointing at something on the screen while laughing and cursing, "If you weren't my nephew, I would have beaten you to death first."

Wu Xiaoxie was too lazy to argue with him anymore. Seeing that the old man seemed to be in much better spirits after coming here, compared to his listless appearance lying in the hospital bed, he seemed to have regained his true colors as a ruthless hero. He said with relief, "Even if you beat me to death, I will still come. Let's not beat around the bush. I know that this matter is inseparable from me. If I don't find out the truth, I will definitely worry about it for the rest of my life and have no peace of mind."

"If it were you, you definitely wouldn't let it go like that either." Wu Xiaoxie knew his third uncle's true nature all too well.

Unwilling to argue any further, Wu Xiaoxie asked his third uncle how he had gotten ahead of them. From his third uncle, Wu Xiaoxie learned that the master Zhuoma had also sent a message to his third uncle, but his third uncle had used coercion to get more details from the old woman.

After learning that Chen Wenjin was in the Tamutuo Oasis, Uncle San realized that this might be his last chance to see Wenjin, so he immediately decided to speed up and take a detour instead of the canyon entrance.

As Wu Xiaoxie listened to his story, he pondered, and the fragments in his mind gradually came together. It turned out that the three people mentioned in Wen Jin's notes who asked Dingzhuo Ma to send the package were Xiao Ge, Wu Sansheng, and himself.

The videotape that Aning received was actually sent out in cooperation with Wu Sansheng through Xiao Ge.

and so……

"So, Uncle, do you also have a videotape?" Wu Xiaoxie looked at his uncle, his tone questioning but his expression certain.

Wu Sansheng nodded and turned the computer screen a little closer to him. "I didn't mean to hide it from you. That videotape should have been sent to the shop when we were in Beicheng. There were too many things piled up, and I only found out about it a long time later."

"Then why did Aunt Wenjin send me the videotape?" Wu Xiaoxie asked in confusion. "Logically speaking, I was still young back then, and your entanglements shouldn't have anything to do with me."

Wu Sansheng silently lit a cigarette, and only after finishing it did he sigh deeply. He looked at Wu Xiaoxie with complicated eyes and said, "Your Aunt Wenjin must have had her reasons for sending you the videotape. I'm just guessing. If you really want to know the reason, you might as well ask her yourself after you find her."

"Okay." Wu Xiaoxie didn't dwell on it, nodded, and continued to ask, "So what was on the videotape I sent you?"

"I can't describe what's inside." Wu Sansheng handed the opened computer file, along with the entire computer, to Wu Xiaoxie. "You should see it for yourself."

When Wu Xiaoxie heard him say that, he suddenly had a bad feeling. Last time, when A Ning brought a videotape to Wu Shanju, she said the same thing right away, and the videotape showed a person who looked exactly like him crawling on the ground.

"The battery's almost dead, you'd better hurry," Wu Sansheng said, lighting another cigarette.

Seeing that the play button had appeared on the screen, Wu Xiaoxie quickly turned to Zhang Wu and called him over, "Muyu, come and watch it together."

Wu Sansheng's eyes twitched, his lips moved, but he swallowed the curse words.

Zhang Wuxun was contemplating the plot with his eyes closed when he heard this. He opened his eyes and saw Wu Xiaoxie waving at him. Wu Sanye didn't object, so he got up and went over to sit down.

"What are you looking at?" he asked.

Wu Xiaoxie pressed play and lowered his voice, saying, "The videotape that Chen Wenjin sent to my third uncle should be the last one."
