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

Chapter 96 It is a wooden fish
Wu Xiaoxie slammed his elbow into Lao Yang's stomach, and taking advantage of Lao Yang's pain, he shoved him aside and pounced on the shadowy figure's head, smashing it with all his might.

Enraged, Lao Yang rushed forward and punched Wu Xiaoxie in the face, sending him tumbling away – a testament to the immense force of the blow.

Wu Xiaoxie lay there for half a minute before slowly raising his head. His eyes were dry and uncomfortable, and the tightness and oppression in his chest made it impossible for him to utter a complete sentence.

"He...he's inside..."

"The wooden fish is inside!"

"I need to get him out..."

His expression was one of extreme panic and fear. He was certain that he could not have been mistaken with his own eyesight, and because of this, a surge of guilt almost overwhelmed him.

"Nonsense!" Lao Yang retorted loudly, his face turning red with anger. "That's my mother!"

what?
Wu Xiaoxie could hardly believe his ears. Suddenly startled, he realized something was wrong and grabbed Lao Yang's arm. "What did you say? What about your mother? Where is your mother?"

Lao Yang's angry expression froze. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wu Xiaoxie, before turning his head to look at the amber at his feet.

The scene before them immediately startled them, causing them to gasp in shock.

Unbeknownst to them, the black shadow had emerged from inside the amber and was now less than twenty centimeters away from the two.

Wu Xiaoxie cried out in surprise and subconsciously took a few steps back, nearly falling off the edge of the amber.

Lao Yang quickly grabbed him, and the two steadied themselves. Looking back, the dark figure had returned to its original spot, as if everything that had just happened was their illusion. "This place is too strange!" Wu Xiaoxie broke out in a cold sweat. "We can't stay here any longer, let's climb up quickly."

As he was about to grab Lao Yang, Lao Yang dodged him by tilting his body. He then stepped forward, squatted down directly above the dark figure, reached out and touched it, a sinister smile appearing on his face. He made a strange "gurgling" sound in his throat, which terrified Wu Xiaoxie.

"Lao Yang?" Wu Xiaoxie called him tentatively, "Lao Yang, what's wrong?"

Lao Yang didn't move, but turned his head to face Wu Xiaoxie, staring straight at him. Wu Xiaoxie got annoyed by his staring and finally asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Wu Xiaoxie swallowed hard, gripped the dagger in his hand, his face stiff, and took a shallow breath to calm himself down. "Wh...what?"

"Have you ever heard of a corpse cocoon?" Lao Yang seemed oblivious to his wariness and didn't wait for his reply, continuing to speak on his own. "This is the largest corpse cocoon I've ever seen. I once saw one that contained a five or six-year-old child, dressed in red, wrapped in amber, so lifelike, as if the child was just a living person asleep."

"I've heard rumors that the thing inside the corpse cocoon is alive. I don't know if it's true or not. The amber-like outer shell you see is actually a preservative film made of solidified amniotic fluid mixed with special medicinal materials. This ensures that the person inside won't die in their sleep."

At this point, Lao Yang chuckled, his tone revealing a hint of joy and relief. "I think the rumors are true. You saw it just now, didn't you? The thing inside opened its eyes. It's alive. Tell me, if I put a living person in there and dug them out decades or hundreds of years later, wouldn't I be able to live forever?"

Wu Xiaoxie noticed the strange, eager look in Lao Yang's eyes as he stared at him, and his heart skipped a beat. Was this bastard really going to do it?
