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

Chapter 77 Kirin Blood Vine

Mr. Wang was almost in tears. The moment he gained his freedom, he immediately ran far away.

Zhang Wuxun's lips twitched. Was he really that scary?

After tidying up the equipment, Zhang Wuxun loaded the pocket gun with bullets and gave him another magazine.

The group of five climbed out of the low cave and headed toward the plank road that Boss Wang had described.

Mr. Wang meant that if they could climb up that boardwalk, the rest of the journey would be much easier.

Zhang Wuxun and Lao Yang turned on their flashlights and shone them at their brightest beams onto the rock face. Wu Xiaoxie observed through binoculars and, sure enough, there were several wooden walkways that were slowly rising against the rock face not far away. Thick vines covered the walkways, almost completely covering them.

The plank road has been in disrepair for many years, and there may be unknown dangers on it.

So Zhang Wuxun decided to have Boss Wang lead the way, while he followed closely behind, just in case the guy tried to cheat him.

Wu Xiaoxie and Liang Shiye helped Lao Yang follow behind.

Along the way, they encountered several Chi Gu. Before Boss Wang could even raise his hand to attack, the Chi Gu had already fled and hidden like mice that had seen a cat. His actions were so smooth and effortless that Boss Wang was completely stunned.

"This……"

Boss Wang suddenly turned his head to stare at the people behind him, only to see that they all had calm expressions, especially the young man with the youthful face who had an expression of taking it for granted. He couldn't help but start to wonder if he was the one who was making a fuss over nothing.
No, no, no, Mr. Wang quickly shook his head to dispel the random thoughts in his mind. Zhang Wuxun urged him to hurry up and leave. As he turned his head, he secretly gave Liang Shiye a look and asked what was going on.

Liang Shiye received his gaze, glanced at the back of Zhang Wuxun's head, and seeing nothing amiss, exclaimed in a dramatic tone, "Ah, this Qilin Jie truly lives up to its reputation as a divine medicine. With such excellent effects, Master Yu's Qilin Jie must be a high-quality product from hundreds of years ago." Zhang Wuxun simply hummed in response, not taking the bait.

Liang Shiye didn't feel embarrassed and continued to talk to himself, "This Qilin Jie is a medicinal material made from the solidified sap of a plant called Qilin Xue Teng. The longer it is left, the better its medicinal effect becomes."

In traditional Chinese medicine, blood stasis also has a special use: fumigating corpses!

In ancient times, some ethnic minorities and some remote mountain villages had the custom of placing a piece of Qilin blood on the navel of the corpse during the encoffining process. This was believed to dispel yin energy and prevent maggots from infesting the body even after it had decomposed into bones.

As it ages, the blood of the Qilin gradually changes from bright red to dark black. At a certain point, it will melt in your mouth, and after eating it, people will be immune to evil insects and mosquitoes will stay away in the summer.

Of course, this was just a legend, and Master Liang only heard it from others. Now that the legend has become a reality, Master Liang has had his eyes opened.

Wu Xiaoxie couldn't help but feel fortunate. Muyu had mentioned in the tomb raider's tunnel that he had consumed Qilin Jie, so the Lotus Arrow Poison was useless against him. At the time, he hadn't realized the true effects of Qilin Jie. But after hearing what Master Liang said, he felt like he had struck gold.

With a hint of flattery on his face, Liang asked curiously, "Master Yu, may I ask how you obtained your Qilin Blood?"

Zhang Wuxun raised an eyebrow. "It's an heirloom."

Wu Xiaoxie chuckled, "That's right, it's the Zhang family's ancestral, secret bloodline."

Liang Shiye chuckled and gave up on asking. Indeed, such priceless treasures were not something that could be found just like that.

Goodnight, Makka Pakka
