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

Chapter 60 Intermittent Hot Spring
Liang Shiye, who was in poorer physical condition, was blown back several steps by the wind, tripped, and fell on his butt with a thud, howling in pain.

Wu Xiaoxie was clever; as the wind blew, he took a step back and, mimicking a gecko, pressed himself tightly against the wall.

The rest of the people quickly followed suit. Those who had already stepped out of the stone path squatted down or knelt on the ground, curling up their bodies to minimize their presence.

This strange wind lasted for about half a minute.

After the wind stopped, everyone cautiously peered out and saw a large natural cave, as wide as a basketball court and about five or six meters high, extending infinitely to the left and right.

The entire bottom of the cave is an underground river with a very rapid current. The structure of the cave has an invisible amplifier effect, amplifying the sound of the water flow.

Among Uncle Tai's group, the one called Er Mazi stuck his foot into the water and immediately pulled it back after being scalded.

"The water is too hot; there's no way to put your feet in it."

Liang Shiye spoke up, "This should be a rock vein, but it's quite rare to find one this warm."

Everyone looked at Zhang Wuxun, waiting for him to make a decision.

Zhang Wuxun dipped his hand in the water, straightened up, and asked Lao Yang, "Didn't you say you came out from here last time? How did you get out?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Lao Yang, staring intently at him, awaiting his answer.

Lao Yang scratched his head awkwardly and said, "There are actually two iron chains underwater. Just keep following the chains and move forward."

As he spoke, he even ran over, bent over, and groped around in the water for a while before pulling a large, dark chain out of the water. He exclaimed with a hint of excitement, "This is it!"

The crowd gathered around, and Er Mazi grabbed the wrist-thick iron chain and pulled on it, but found that he couldn't budge it at all. He hesitated and said, "Uncle Tai, it might not be very safe to travel by water like this. That's how Pipa was lost in that stinky pond before. Who knows if there's still that water monster around here? If we really run into it, we'll all be dead here today."

Their guns had their magazines removed and left outside. Even if they had guns, in their current state, encountering a taimen would be like handing them free kills.

Zhang Wuxun stroked his chin. So the man whose name was Pipa was called Pipa. No, that's not the point.

Upon hearing Er Mazi's words, Uncle Tai's heart skipped a beat. He quickly glared at Er Mazi, then immediately looked at Zhang Wuxun. Seeing that Zhang Wuxun did not show any displeasure, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with his eyebrows furrowed, he scolded, "Why are you asking me? Master Yu is in charge here now, and he's the one making the decisions. Hurry up and apologize to Master Yu."

Zhang Wuxun pursed his lips speechlessly and said, "Alright, instead of wasting time on that formalism, you should use that time to think about how to get through this later."

Seeing the dull atmosphere, Liang Shiye took the initiative to break the silence, "It's alright, the water here is so hot, there definitely won't be any fish, and even if there are, they'll be cooked."

Master Liang was a man of wide experience and held considerable prestige in their area. After hearing his words, Uncle Tai and his group's expressions noticeably improved.

Zhang Wuxun was about to speak up and tell everyone to follow the iron chain forward and get out of the cave first.

With a loud bang, a huge wave erupted behind Er Mazi, and everyone was swept into the water by the impact of the current, none of them escaping unscathed.

Zhang Wuxun reacted quickly, grabbing Wu Xiaoxie and pulling him to the surface to catch his breath.

I haven't had time to figure out what happened yet.

Immediately afterwards, a white column of water shot up to the top of the cave. After impact, the water column dispersed, and scalding water pelted everyone like a torrential rain. Everyone ran towards the shallows to avoid it.

This sudden turn of events terrified Uncle Tai and the others, turning them pale. Liang Shiye, in particular, collapsed into the water, unable to get up.

This is not finished.

Just as everyone got up, another column of water shot up from beneath their feet, scattering them into pieces.

After finally gathering everyone together and counting heads, they discovered one person was missing. Uncle Tai looked left and right, then suddenly exclaimed, "Holy crap! Where did Er Mazi go?"

Old Yang, with his sharp eyes, pointed to a spot in the water and said, "You...you guys look! Isn't there a person floating there?"

Several people shone their flashlights at the same time, and it seemed to be true.

"One of you go and bring them back, and see what happened." Zhang Wuxun pointed his finger, hitting Uncle Tai and Boss Wang.

Although the two were very unwilling, they dared not disobey due to the intimidating power of Zhang Wuxun.

Before they even got close to Er Mazi, the two were hit by a barrage of scalding rain that came down from the sky, making them scream and scramble back to their feet. When they looked down, they saw that the spot where the rain had fallen had been scalded with huge blisters.

"This rain is scalding hot!" Uncle Tai wailed. "No one can get close at all. I bet Er Mazi is already cooked. Pulling him back won't help."

As they were talking, a wisp of white steam rose from the bottom of the water once again.

Zhang Wuxun's expression changed, and he shouted, "Quickly dive into the water! This is an intermittent hot spring; if it gets on your body, you'll be scalded to death in no time!"

As the boiling water rain intensified, everyone fled in panic, covering their heads. Uh, they were too weak to move.

Upon hearing this, I immediately held my breath, crouched down, and waded into the water. Although the water was also very hot, it was still bearable compared to the boiling rain.

In the chaos, everyone randomly chose a direction and started swimming like madmen.

After holding his breath and swimming for more than ten meters, Wu Xiaoxie surfaced to breathe. Looking back, he saw that the water around the spring that had been spouting water was now boiling with bubbles the size of washbasins, and the heat was spreading rapidly. Unfortunately, the direction they had chosen was downstream, which undoubtedly accelerated the spread of the heat.

Zhang Wuxun also surfaced to breathe, and the entire river surface seemed to be steaming hot, like a boiling pot.

This can't go on!

If they keep swimming like that, they'll all end up being boiled like Er Mazi sooner or later!

"Swim forward! Speed ​​up! The hot current is coming soon!" Zhang Wuxun shouted to the people lagging behind, and then, without daring to delay, he sped up and swam forward with the current.

Wu Xiaoxie and Lao Yang followed closely behind him.

The three men, Tai Shu and his companions, who were lagging behind, cursed Zhang Wuxun's ancestors to the eighteenth generation in their hearts, thinking that Zhang Wuxun was a bastard who had no humanity and had run away ahead, leaving them, who had been acupunctured, to flounder in the water.

Just when they were about to perish, the current in front of them suddenly accelerated, and they were almost pushed forward by the current.

Wu Xiaoxie suddenly exclaimed, "Stop right there! There's a waterfall ahead!"

But the situation can't be stopped just like that.

Zhang Wuxun, Wu Xiaoxie, and Tai Shu's group were all swept away by the water and fell down the waterfall.
