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

Chapter 73 Strong Return
Liang Shiye screamed incoherently as if his feet were being grabbed by a ghost, causing the rope to swing even more violently. The stalagmite could not bear the weight, and the cracks on it grew wider and wider until it finally snapped with a crack.

Wu Xiaoxie climbed back first, while Lao Yang, who was hanging on the other end, was dragged down by Liang Shiye and didn't climb very far. The stalagmite broke off with a snap, and the two of them screamed and fell down together like swings.

"Old Itch!"

Wu Xiaoxie cried out and rushed to the edge, watching helplessly as Lao Yang and the other man fell... fell, uh, and got stuck in a crevice in the rock face.

It turned out that at the last moment, the 8mm rope could not support the weight of the three people together, and it broke off one after the other. When Lao Yang and the other fell, the rope was caught on a protruding stalagmite on the rock wall. Liang Shiye was too weak to hold on to the rope and almost slid to the bottom. Fortunately, Lao Yang, who was stuck in a crevice in the rock, was quick-witted and grabbed him.

There was a crack in the rock that happened to be half a person's height, forming a triangle. By sheer coincidence, there was a protruding rock on one side. Old Yang's buttocks were sitting on it, his upper body tucked into the crack, and his legs stretched out to clamp down on Liang Shiye, who was rolling his eyes and about to faint.

This pose... well, it's hard to describe.

Wu Xiaoxie poked his head out and called down, "Hey, are you two alright? Are you okay?"

Liang Shiye was so scared he almost peed his pants, clinging to Lao Yang's leg like a lifeline.

Lao Yang was already dizzy and disoriented from the impact, with a large gash on his head from which blood was gushing out. He was only kept conscious by the pain, and Liang Shiye's actions only added to his burden. He really wanted to kick this damned burden off the road.

"Damn it, let go!" Lao Yang cursed. "I can't hold on any longer!"

Upon hearing this, Master Liang shook his head vigorously, and hugged the object even tighter.

Old Yang was so angry that the veins on his forehead were bulging. "You son of a bitch, quickly spread my legs apart! I'm going to fall. There are rocks nearby where you can grab onto them."

Liang Shiye clearly felt the leg he was holding trembling. He quickly kicked his leg, reached the stalagmite next to him, let go of one hand, and shakily climbed over to stand firm. Then he rescued Lao Yang from the crevice in the rock.

Liang Shiye patted his chest with lingering fear, and was about to say thank you when suddenly, a human face mask flew down from above and pounced on Liang Shiye's face.

Liang Shiye let out a scream. Eight crab-like segmented legs emerged from under his mask, gripping his face tightly. The insects inside were burrowing into Liang Shiye's open mouth.

Liang Shiye grabbed the mask with both hands and tried desperately to pull it open, while Lao Yang helped from the side. But the mask seemed to be stuck on with super glue, and it would be pulled open and then sucked back in several times. Blood kept seeping down from both sides of Liang Shiye's ears.

Liang Shiye's body gradually became frantic, and he struggled incessantly, almost falling off the stalagmite he was standing on. Below them was a bottomless abyss. Seeing that Liang Shiye's neck was covered in blood and he was about to become a blood gourd, Lao Yang gritted his teeth, picked up a paddle, and used all his strength to hit the mask.

With a snap, the grayish-white mask shattered easily, and fragments fell down, revealing the face of the clerk covered by it. The eight ferocious insect legs were startled and tried to crawl into the clerk's mouth at once.

Lao Yang pulled out his dagger and slashed down at Liang Shiye's face. The seemingly hard shell couldn't withstand the impact at all, and Lao Yang sliced ​​off half of its body, along with Liang Shiye's lips.

"Ugh—" Liang Shiye roared in his throat, trembling all over in pain.

It seemed that its lifeline had been severed. The remaining half of the worm twitched a few times, and the twitching gradually subsided. Old Yang then stabbed it straight into Liang Shiye's mouth and dragged it out.

A large, furry, black, sticky substance fell to the ground. Before Lao Yang could get a good look at it, three or four dark figures descended from the sky and pounced straight at his face.

Lao Yang brandished a dagger in one hand and a paddle in the other, slapping away the attacking Chi Gu.

Liang, the clerk who was vomiting while clutching his throat, was in trouble. His old bones had been battling for so long that he was already exhausted, and then he was attacked by the Chi Gu, leaving him utterly defenseless. The dense, dark Chi Gu, following the scent of blood, crawled all over him; every time he swatted one away, more would swarm up. "Help...cough cough, help me!"

Lao Yang was too busy taking care of himself to care about him. He flicked his wrist and fired a shot. With a loud bang, several nearby Chi Gu were blasted away, and grayish-white mask fragments mixed with dust fell towards him.

Another shot blasted open a large gap.

However, this was only a temporary solution. In less than two seconds, the blank rock wall created by the slap was immediately occupied by the Chi Gu behind it.

Wu Xiaoxie lay on the edge of the bronze tree, watching helplessly as they fell into danger. He could only watch from the sidelines, because having swallowed the Qilin Blood, the Chi Gu on this side selectively ignored him.

How to do?How to do?
Wu Xiaoxie was frantic, but there was nothing he could do. Even if he cut his palm, his blood wouldn't spill more than ten meters away.

In the critical moment, a blood-stained silver dart flew rapidly towards the opposite side and clattered straight into the rock wall near Lao Yang.

In an instant, the dragon-like creatures seemed to have seen a ghost, scattering in all directions and even using their companions as stepping stones to quickly escape the area.

Lao Yang was overjoyed. The Chi Gu on his body seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and only cared about running away. He used his dagger to pierce the mask and kicked them off the cliff one by one.

Another silver dart pierced the darkness and pierced Liang Shiye's leg. Liang Shiye suppressed the cry of pain in his throat, and with Lao Yang's help, he dealt with the Chi Gu that hadn't managed to escape. Then, like a dead dog, with his face covered in blood, he leaned against the rock wall and completely collapsed, before passing out in a spectacular fashion.

Lao Yang took the flashlight hanging from his waist and shone it in Wu Xiaoxie's direction. He saw a tall and slender figure clinging to a tree branch, climbing up cleanly and nimbly, and walking up to Wu Xiaoxie.

That person had a face that was stunning at first glance, a face that made one forget the mundane world.

Lao Yang disliked Zhang Wuxun's face completely, because Zhang Wuxun's appearance meant that his plan would be 80% likely to fall through.

"Wu Xie? How are you? Where are you hurt?" Zhang Wuxun shone a light around Wu Xiaoxie, confirming that he was just a little dirty and disheveled, with a few minor cuts and a half-hand-length gash on his back, but thankfully it wasn't deep.

"Wooden fish!"

Wu Xiaoxie's eyes clearly showed joy and excitement, "You're finally back!"

Zhang Wuxun curled the corners of his mouth, took out a medical kit from his backpack, and beckoned, "Come here, I'll put some medicine on you."

Old Yang, completely ignored on the other side of the rock face, was speechless.

The unconscious Liang Shiye “…”
