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

Chapter 86 The Chase

Wu Xiaoxie reached into his pocket, only to find it empty, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

We're doomed!

Wu Xiaoxie guessed that his gun was either lost when he rolled down the vine while being chased by it, or that unknown thing outside had secretly stolen it while he was unconscious.

But regardless, it's a fact that he's currently unarmed.

We can't beat them, we can't beat them.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the best is to slip away.

Wu Xiaoxie held her breath and silently lifted one foot to move backward.

He took several steps and just when he thought the other party wouldn't make any move and breathed a little easier, he suddenly saw the dark figure move, just like when he was a child playing hide-and-seek and secretly peeked out from behind the wall to observe the situation.

Suddenly, a round, protruding sphere emerged from the original mass of the dark figure, and it seemed to be growing longer and longer, its neck outstretched as if a snake were probing its hole to hunt.

"My God!" Wu Xiaoxie exclaimed in shock, her eyes widening as if her heart had stopped beating for a moment.

As the dark figure drew closer, Wu Xiaoxie snapped out of his daze. He didn't care about the noise anymore, turned on his flashlight, turned around, and ran.

He ran around erratically, stumbling and bumping, and it was hard to tell whether it was his panting or the sound of the monster running behind him. The echoes were huge in the long corridor, as if the thing behind him was only a step away and could grab him with an outstretched arm.

Ahhh—Wu Xiaoxie is about to break down!
They ran forward without even seeing the road ahead, and ended up crashing into a wall of flesh. The momentum caused them to fall into a heap.

The people below were groaning and crying out. When Wu Xiaoxie heard this, he thought, "What's that sound?"
Holy crap, isn't this Lao Yang?
"Old Yang!" Wu Xiaoxie scrambled to his feet and grabbed him, not having time to ask why he was there, he just kept pulling him to keep running, "Quick, run, there are monsters behind us!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Yang didn't bother to ask any questions and quickly pointed to a spot ahead, saying, "Follow me."

As he spoke, he dragged Wu Xiaoxie through the cave they had come from and ran back in. In their panic, they didn't know how long they ran, crawling through one hole after another, until Wu Xiaoxie's legs gave way and he tripped over a tree root, falling flat on his face, too weak to get up.

Panting, Lao Yang grabbed Wu Xiaoxie's arm and dragged him into a ditch. He then hid in there himself and made a shushing gesture to Wu Xiaoxie to be quiet.

Wu Xiaoxie quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands. His rapid heartbeat was like a drumbeat, and he felt as if his heart was about to burst out of his chest.

Try to calm yourself down by adjusting your breathing, while listening carefully to the sounds outside.

The sizzling sound was the sound of something dragging and scraping across the tree roots as it approached their hiding place.

Wu Xiaoxie drew the dagger from his waist and gave Lao Yang a wink, signaling that if the monster really chased after them, the two of them should rush up together when it was off guard. Whether they could win or not was another matter, but they couldn't let themselves suffer a loss for nothing.

The place was a complex and confusing place. They didn't know if the ghostly thing outside was coming by smell or sound. Wu Xiaoxie and his companion could only try to minimize their presence. They prayed to Amitabha Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva in their hearts, thinking that if they could really escape this time, they would definitely offer fruits and vegetables to all the gods and gods, and also offer two sticks of incense.

Whether it was a miracle or not, the screeching sound suddenly changed direction and moved away into the distance when it was less than two meters away from the cave where they were hiding.

Wu Xiaoxie and the other looked at each other, almost forgetting to take a deep breath.

Wu Xiaoxie thought to himself, "Could this really be Guanyin manifesting herself?"
Holy crap, this is amazing!

The sound faded into the distance and could no longer be heard. Only then did the two breathe a sigh of relief, leaning against the cave wall, completely exhausted, almost to the point of vomiting blood.

"What...what the hell is that?" Wu Xiaoxie asked Lao Yang in a low voice while keeping an eye on the commotion outside, "Did you encounter any of these when you came here last time?"
