"Go through the tunnel and keep going. As long as it's open, we can get out."

The others thought it made sense; if they went back now, they would be trapped in the tomb anyway, so they might as well go along the tomb robber's tunnel and move forward.

After making his decision, Pan Zi turned around and continued along the tunnel, with the others following behind him.

After another ten minutes or so, we reached the end of the tunnel.

After exiting the tomb robber's tunnel, there was a small tomb chamber outside.

What's puzzling is that the tomb robber's hole was located at the top of the tomb chamber, and the place where the group came out of the hole was more than two meters above the ground.

From this vantage point, the interior of the tomb is clearly visible.

At this time, the tomb chamber was filled with palm-sized corpse beetles, leaving no place to step.

A fat man was jumping around in the swarm of corpse beetles, stepping on them one after another.

The popping sounds continued.

Meanwhile, many corpse beetles had already crawled up his feet onto his body, biting open a wound and burrowing inside.

"Uncle, if this continues, he'll be bitten to death by the corpse beetles! Let's save him!"

"Young Master, the other party's origins are unknown. We should refrain from meddling to avoid unnecessary trouble."

If two groups of people appear in a tomb, it means they are in a competitive relationship, and what happens inside the tomb will remain unknown to the outside world.

There are many cases of people killing and robbing for profit, but Pan Zi made the best choice.

"Tianzhen is right, we can't just stand by and watch someone die."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Hao jumped down.

Zhang Hao had already guessed the identity of the person in the tomb chamber below by looking at his physique.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be the fat guy.

Aside from his sharp tongue, he's a decent person in other aspects. He's quite capable, loyal, and willing to sacrifice his life for his friends.

If we save him now, he will definitely remember this kindness and treat the person who saved him with utmost loyalty.

Zhang Hao thought that he always needed a few trustworthy people around him to handle things.

The fat guy is a good choice because we know him well.

Moreover, they had to pass through this tomb chamber and deal with these corpse beetles anyway; rescuing the fat man was just a side effect.

"Who are you? You were doing just fine up there, why did you jump down? Don't you want to live anymore?!"

When the fat man saw Zhang Haoming jump down despite knowing the tomb was full of corpse beetles, he couldn't help but curse.

"You fatso, how dare you talk like that! Xiao Hao jumped down to save you!"

Pan Zi was unwilling to save the fat man in the first place, and now that Zhang Hao had gone down and the fat man was still being rude, he was also speaking rudely to him.

"How can we save so many corpse beetles? And more are swarming over. Jumping down now is suicide. You should hurry up and get back up. Don't just throw your life away."

The fat man used his body to drive away the corpse beetles, clearing a path for Zhang Hao to escape.

Zhang Hao smiled. Fatty was indeed a good person; even in such a dangerous situation, he didn't harm others to save his own life.

Such a person certainly deserves to be saved.

He took out a dagger and cut a gash in his palm, then with a flick of his wrist, blood splattered around him.

The moment the blood splattered, the corpse beetles fled in panic, as if they had seen something terrifying.

The swarm of corpse beetles that were moving into the tomb chamber also turned around and disappeared without a trace, as if they had smelled something terrifying.

In just a few breaths, the tomb chamber, which was originally teeming with corpse beetles, was reduced to a few scattered beetles, along with the corpses of corpse beetles scattered on the ground.

The fat man was stunned by what he saw.

"Am I dreaming? How can someone drive away tens of thousands of corpse beetles with just a few drops of blood?"

"Of course you're not dreaming, my uncle is really amazing!"

The carrion beetle swarm dispersed, and the others jumped down from the hole above.

"Uncle? You two look about the same age, how come he's your uncle?"
