Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Ding Dong!

A cell phone notification sounded abruptly through the woods. A hand, as white as jade, reached into a pocket, pulled out a phone, and turned on the screen. Just as the person saw the message, their fingers suddenly tightened their grip on the phone...

"Boost!"

Seeing the text message on his phone, Zhang Qilin turned to the two people beside him and spoke seriously. His already rapid footsteps were now accompanied by a faint white light, and the wind in the forest seemed to stir instantly...

Inside the tomb, Wu Xie wiped the sweat from his forehead with the clothes on his arm. Watching himself pull people back and forth, switching to another person every three or four meters, and looking at the four people lying on the ground, he felt a pang of sadness... He thought about when his cheap master would return, and he would definitely have him teach him properly.

Da da da....

Da da da...

Footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the tomb, startling Wu Xie, who was transporting people inside.

Wu Xie didn't know who the person was. If it was someone from his own group, that would be troublesome. As the saying goes, those from the same group are enemies. He also didn't know who was approaching the cave entrance with the footsteps... But Wu Xie couldn't retreat alone now. Putting aside the fragrance he could smell even before he went down into the tomb, he was the only one left among the rest of his group who had fallen. He couldn't leave now no matter what.

Left with no other option, Wu Xie had to temporarily halt the human transport operation. He placed his hand on the large white kukri tucked in its sheath on his leg and stared warily toward the cave entrance.

rustling...

rustling...

The footsteps in the darkness grew closer. Judging from the sounds, Wu Xie realized there was more than one person approaching. His vigilance instantly spiked. To observe their intentions, Wu Xie decided to feign unconsciousness as well, so that their group wouldn't seem out of place.

Click...click...

Two beams of light shone from the hands of two men dressed in floral clothes in front of the tunnel. The men were bald and had a gentle demeanor, as if they were holding a pistol.

The other man looked more menacing, with a deep, dark, concave scar on his eyebrow, and his eyes, like searchlights, scanned the tunnel...

"Damn it! Look over there, aren't there people lying all over the ground?!"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out. The man with the fierce appearance swept his flashlight across the tunnel ahead. He happened to have good eyesight and immediately recognized that the person lying in front of him was a person.

"what? What?"

"Who's there? Are you seeing things? There's someone in this hole! Don't scare me, we're in this together now..."

We're all on the same side, so don't say a word!

The gentler one was named Liu Chuizi. He and his brother had gotten into some trouble outside and had fled to this deep mountain forest. They had been wandering in the jungle for a day or two and were getting quite hungry. He already had some ulterior motives in mind...

But fate had other plans. While wandering aimlessly through the forest, they stumbled upon a large hole. The soil outside smelled quite fishy, ​​clearly freshly dug. Determined to fight any wild beast they encountered, the two ventured inside, just as Hammer suddenly cried out in alarm.

"It's true! I rubbed my eyes several times! How could I be mistaken?"

"Goodness, we've finally found someone! Tiger Cub, let's go! Let's go check them out first, whether they're dead or alive, let's see if they have any food on them!"

A greedy look appeared in Liu Chuizi's eyes as he stepped inside, calling out to his brother Li Sihou, who was with him.

The two men strode quickly to Wu Xie and his group, squatted down, and began searching them thoroughly, checking their shirt pockets, trouser bags, and supply backpacks...

"Ouch!"

"So these guys are tomb raiders! They've got quite a few weapons on them. Tiger Cub, we've really hit the jackpot today. Who knew the world was so small? Two murderers running into five tomb raiders... Tsk tsk... Well, how about we two brothers do some public service?"

Hammer spoke with a non-standard accent, his two small eyes darting around quickly, and an idea popped into his head in an instant.

"What are you trying to do, you idiot?"

When Li Sihou heard Hammer call his name, he was eating a compressed biscuit he had just found in the backpack of the person on the ground when he asked curiously.

"Tiger Cub, feel them! These guys are still warm, they're definitely not dead. If they woke up now, there would be five of them, and we only have two!"

"Besides, a place that attracts tomb raiders probably has a large tomb inside. If we two brothers take them out, grab their equipment, and go in ourselves, we'll be rich!!!"

Once Hammer's greed took hold, he couldn't stop. He looked up at the other end of the tomb, which was pitch black inside. The tomb raiders lying there must mean there was something wrong inside. If he wanted to go in and get the treasure, he would have to strip them of all their equipment and go in fully armed to be safe.

"A great tomb!"

"Wouldn't there be tons of gold and silver treasures in that tomb? We could just smuggle those two out of the country and live a life of luxury!"

"Damn! You're really smart! Let's do it this way, take them out first and then take their weapons!"

Upon hearing Liu Chuizi's idea, Li Sihou was overjoyed. He quickly devoured the compressed biscuit in his hand, stood up, and reached for his lower back...

A flash of white light, and a fruit knife stained with dried blood was in Li Sihou's hand. His eyes swept fiercely across the ground. Just as Li Sihou was about to stab the person on the ground, a long knife pierced through his back. The sound of stabs into flesh rang out in the darkness. Only a flashlight and Liu Chuizi, who had watched the whole thing and was too terrified to speak, remained...

"Damn it! Who is it?"

Liu Chuizi watched his brother fall in front of him. Although he was shocked, he reacted quickly. He moved his hand back and the light of his flashlight shone into the direction of the entrance to the tomb. There were three people standing there. Two of them were smiling and looking at him. One of them was still swinging something in his hand. One of them was dressed in all black, one was dressed in ancient clothes, and the other was wearing jeans and a blue-black hoodie. All three of them were looking at him.

"who are you?"

Liu Chuizi posed a profound question.

The three people opposite did not answer Liu Chuizi's question. Instead, the man in ancient costume raised his hand and began to wave at him as if to greet him.

"Hey there! Poor Wu Xie~"

Qin Henian looked at Wu Xie, who suddenly stood up behind the man opposite him, with a playful expression.

puff!

The very next second after Qin Henian finished his greeting, a large sword pierced Liu Chuizi's chest as he tentatively asked questions, and crimson blood spread...

With a loud thud, followed by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, Wu, his face stained with a large amount of hot blood, trembled with fear...

"I just want to live! I just want to live..."
