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

Chapter 38 Eight Treasures Rotor
Zhang Wuxun got up, told them to rest first, and climbed up to take a look himself.

Wu Xiaoxie was about to refuse when she heard this, "No, you can't move your wound too much, what if it reopens..."

Zhang Wuxun sighed and untied the bandage on his shoulder with one hand to show him. "See, it's almost healed. Climbing a pillar is no big deal."

Wu Xiaoxie stared at the newly grown pink flesh on his wound, hissed, and exclaimed in surprise, "Damn, did you take hormones? It's only been a short while, and such a deep wound has already healed like this!"

Zhang Wuxun raised an eyebrow smugly, "Envious, aren't you? That's one of the advantages of having a special physique."

"You're wasting my feelings!"

Wu Xiaoxie snorted heavily and turned around to examine the model of the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top and the four shadow paintings on the wall.

Zhang Wuxun stretched his shoulders to regain his original posture, then quickly climbed up a considerable distance while holding onto the pillar.

The fat man egged him on, "Wooden Fish, when you come down, help me pry open two luminous pearls, and we'll split them fifty-fifty."

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoxie turned his head and laughed, "You and Muyu really are like father and son, both of you are stubborn and never leave empty-handed."

The fat man chuckled and rubbed his hands together in a lewd manner. "We've suffered so many losses and gone through so much trouble this time. We can't just come here for nothing, like a dung beetle encountering someone with diarrhea. Otherwise, I'd be crying my eyes out."

"Fine, you're right, you win." Wu Xiaoxie waved his hand and ignored him.

Zhang Wuxun kicked off a pillar and leaped up, grabbing the crossbeam. With a powerful swing of his arm, he flipped himself up and, once he was steady, peered down. "You guys stay down there for now. I'll try shoveling a couple of times."

After saying that, he took out an entrenching tool from his spatial storage, raised it, and shoveled it a few times at the white clay above him. After clearing a small area, he reached out and touched it. "Damn it, this blue brick is made of iron mortar. We'll need explosives to break it open."

Wu Xiaoxie was dumbfounded. "What do we do then? Are we really not going to be able to get out?"

The fat man asked, "Don't you have any explosives or anything in your treasure chest? It's all food."

"I'm not a smuggler of weapons, explosives aren't something you can just have whenever you want."

Zhang Wuxun was also somewhat frustrated. He knew where the explosives were, but he couldn't say anything, which was quite frustrating.

The young man suddenly spoke up, "I know where there are explosives."

Zhang Wuxun's eyes lit up; his savior had finally arrived.

The young man walked up to the stone slab of the Heavenly Palace model, reached out and touched the abdomen of the meditating corpse sitting in the center of the slab for a while, and said, "It should still be usable."

The fat man clearly misunderstood. "What? It's so withered and dry, yet it's still usable? Could this old guy have cultivated the legendary Sunflower Manual? That's even more wrong, isn't the Sunflower Manual supposed to require self-discovery first..."

"Shut up already." Wu Xiaoxie was speechless at the fact that he could still spout nonsense at this time. "What you mean is that the explosive device in the corpse's abdomen should still be usable."

The fat man was taken aback, then remembered that the young man had indeed mentioned that there was an eight-treasure rotor mechanism in the abdomen of the mummified corpse. He quickly chuckled twice, "I just thought the atmosphere was too dull, so I wanted to lighten it up a bit. It's good for your mental and physical health."

Wu Xiaoxie rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk to him, and turned to help Xiao Ge carry the mummified corpse.

Zhang Wuxun squatted on it, laughing so hard he was pounding the wall. It was hilarious.

The fat man touched his nose and held up a flashlight to illuminate the two of them.

The young man carefully tied a rope around the mummified corpse, and together with Wu Xiaoxie, lifted it up, while Zhang Wuxun swung the other end of the rope up to hold onto.

The fat man was a little worried. "According to what you guys said, this mechanism must be several hundred years old. Can it still be triggered?" "Let's try anything, even if it's a dead end." Zhang Wuxun got into position to provide backup. "We can't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. You guys better be careful. Don't let it blow up before we even get there. If that happens, we won't even need to find a tomb. It'll be ready-made."

The fat man panicked when he heard this, "Quickly, spit it out! This is a crucial moment, can't you say something auspicious and pleasant?"

In the end, I was still worried that using a rope to pull it wasn't safe enough. What if the force was uneven and it bumped or hit something, and it really exploded halfway through?

So the young man and the fat man, one supporting the bottom and the other carrying it on their backs, with the safety rope Zhang Wuxun had thrown down tied around their waists, slowly moved up inch by inch to support it.

Zhang Wuxun pulled the rope and tied it firmly to the top of the pillar. Afraid that it would run away, he also untied the safety rope from his own waist to secure it.

The three of them climbed down one by one, tiptoeing.

The fat man bowed to the mummified corpse, muttering something under his breath.

Zhang Wuxun smiled and beckoned Wu Xiaoxie to come and hide behind the bronze mirror.

After muttering to himself, the fat guy crawled over and asked, "Wooden Fish, to be honest, aren't you guys a little unsure about yourselves?"

Seeing that the young man had found a good spot, Zhang Wuxun said dismissively, "Don't worry, even if you really can't get out, you won't starve for a month or two. If all else fails, there are still little rice dumplings. If all else fails, we can just drag out the forbidden woman in the cave, skin her, and roast her. That will definitely fill our stomachs."

With a silver dart between his fingers, Zhang Wuxun was about to move when he heard Wu Xiaoxie exclaim, "Damn it, A-Ning is still outside!"

Zhang Wuxun was a vengeful man. He was determined to get revenge for A Ning using Xiao Tianzhen as a shield when they passed through the tunnel. Therefore, he didn't even think about finding a place for A Ning to hide. Anyway, this woman must have a backup plan and wouldn't die.

She's still lying on the floor, completely tied up... Holy crap!
Zhang Wuxun glanced over and saw a pile of cut ropes on the floor.

not good!

"Get down quickly!"

Zhang Wuxun turned around, pressed Wu Xiaoxie's head into his arms, and with his other hand, grabbed the fat man and quickly lay down on the ground.

boom--

The eight-treasure rotor started, and the residual force of the explosives knocked over the bronze mirror behind them, crashing heavily onto the people lying on the surface. Dust fell everywhere, burying the people.

After the aftershocks subsided, Zhang Wuxun covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and, with the help of the young man, overturned the bronze mirror that was pressing down on him and dug the fat man out as well.

The fat man got up from the ground, rubbing his aching back, and cursed, "Damn it, luckily I reacted quickly and managed to lie down. That bitch wouldn't have stopped until she killed us."

Seeing Wu Xiaoxie lying on the ground with his eyes closed and his chest not rising and falling, Zhang Wuxun was stunned. He and Fatty quickly dug him up and patted his back to help him catch his breath.

"Damn it, are you alright, Xiaotianzhen? You didn't really get crushed by me and Muyu, did you? Say something!" Fatty said, pinching Wu Xiaoxie's philtrum.

"Pfft...cough cough cough!" Wu Xiaoxie took a deep breath, swallowed a mouthful of dust, and immediately coughed violently.

"Cough... What the hell is going on? Why did the mechanism activate ahead of schedule?" Wu Xiaoxie asked hoarsely, pounding his chest.

The fat man sneered, "I knew that woman was faking it. The young man didn't move, and neither did the wooden fish's darts. Who else but her could have plotted against us?"

The main hall shook slightly. The young man looked up at the treasure ceiling and said, "It's open."
