Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

The sound of hammering echoed against the opposite wall as two groups of people clung to the stone wall, their agile movements constantly shifting.

Two pairs of golden pupils pierced through the layers of stone ceiling above, watching everything.

"Both of them are quite skilled, but one thing they gave away was that the Huo family's men are generally very flexible. Although their climbing and movements looked very natural, their kneecaps and shoulder blades were a bit slow when they moved, which was obviously not the kind of style that the Huo family had practiced for many years."

Black Bear sharply commented on the climbing techniques of the people outside, his gaze piercing through his sunglasses and the stone wall, making a fleeting, unseen eye contact.

"Then let's keep them all, so we don't have to keep staring at the mute and blind all the time!"

Having lived with Zhang Qilin for a long time, Hei Xiazi had grown tired of being watched and wanted to take revenge whenever possible.

He immediately grinned and uttered words that told people to die...

"It's not like we don't have the ability, so let's tie them up and take them back to make kebabs!"

Without a second thought, Qin Henian agreed to Hei Xiazi's idea, turned around, pouted, and blew a breath of hot air carrying a high temperature towards the two locations.

"Ah! So hot!"

"what!"

“Ahhh…”

Screams could be heard coming from not far away, then silence fell, and the quiet tomb seemed to have remained untouched.

However, a small line of blood appeared in Qin Henian's palm.

"what happened?"

"Yuxiang! Yulong... what's wrong with you? What happened? Tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

Huo Youxue was already guarding the entrance to the tunnel. Just a few minutes ago, she had seen off four of the guys who were good at rock climbing. Not long after, she heard a scream from one of the guys who had just left. Huo Youxue and the others immediately perked up, their faces alert and their bodies tense as they waited for a response.

"What's going on? Why is it silent again?"

Wu Xie was completely bewildered. It was just rock climbing, how did it suddenly turn into an accident?

It's just that Wu Xie has a lot of powerful people around him. If it were someone else, they would have shut him up. Wu Xie had seen his childhood friend's high-level rock climbing when he was at Mount Siguniang before, so he wasn't too nervous. But then this happened, and it startled him.

"Brother Wu Xie, something's happened! Those guys have all gone silent. They're probably dead, but nobody heard them fall into the water. That's really strange!"

Huo Youxue usually trains herself at home and sets high standards for herself. Previously, Huo Xiangu was in charge of Huo Xiuxiu in the Huo family, and it was thought that her ambition would always be buried deep in her heart. However, the old lady's sudden accident gave her this opportunity. Therefore, she is very calm in analyzing the situation now. While answering Wu Xie's question, she turned her head to look at Bei Ya, whom she had hired at a high price, and Xie Yuchen, who came to get a share of the pie.

"Brother Xiaohua, it seems there's something or some kind of mechanism on this stone wall. I'm afraid even the most skilled guys can't handle it. We'll have to trouble you and Mr. Zhang."

The most important thing when going into a tomb is to have a clear objective, and Huo Youxue happens to be such a woman. With a quick thought and a smirk, she spoke in the direction of Xie Yuchen, hoping that he and Bei Ya could come again.

"it is good!"

"I'd also like to see what's going on with this tomb."

Xie Yuchen is also very emotionally intelligent, so he naturally wouldn't put himself in the position of a waiter. Since Huo Youxue has spoken up, he has a legitimate reason to go.

With Yu Chen and Zhang Qilin on their side, two people with ropes tied around their waists were perched on the walls on either side. They were as agile as dragonflies skimming the water, leaping over a large section of the stone wall in just a few bounds.

"At this rate, those people will be here soon. Let's move to another spot!"

Qin Henian, hiding in the shadows, spoke to Hei Xiazi, who was twirling a cigarette between his fingers.

"Alright! Anyway, with Wu Xie's strange physique, he can wear down their team to death."

"We just need to sit back and reap the benefits, and get the last people out."

We can't wipe out the entire Wang family at once, otherwise it would ruin Wu Xie's plan. What if we leave without anyone contacting the Wang family and alert them...?

After reaching an agreement, Qin Henian and Hei Xiazi turned around and walked towards the other side of the passageway…

At the very top of the stone walls on both sides of the Silver River, two long and thick hemp ropes were lowered, and two dark figures quickly slid down using the ropes.

boom…

After getting his feet on solid ground, Xie Yuchen turned on his flashlight to check the surroundings on both sides of the stone platform. Finding nothing amiss, he shone the flashlight across the lake, signaling that they could cross using the rope.

"Hey buddy, let's tie these two ropes tighter. We've heard a bit about Wu Xie and Fatty Wang's exploits..."

After signaling to the other side, Xie Yuchen remembered the "strange power" on Wu Xie and Fatty Wang.

Zhang Qilin nodded!

Zhang Qilin leaped up and returned to the two positions where he had tied the ropes to check them again.

When everyone finally entered the underground palace and gathered on a large stone platform, the Huo family's team finally saw a corner of the Yuan Dynasty tomb marked on the human skin book.

"There's a stone door here, which should obviously be the entrance to the underground palace. Everyone, look for the mechanism!"

After Huo Youxue and the others safely reached the stone platform, they began to organize people to search for the mechanism. Apart from the platform they were standing on and a stone door with carved patterns, there were no other buildings here. Even the stone pillars and stone carvings of tomb guardian beasts that usually appear on both sides of a tomb entrance were missing...

Tap tap tap… The footsteps were chaotic and disorderly. With so many people searching the mechanism like a carpet, there was no need for Zhang Qilin, the big Buddha. Besides, the big Buddha didn't want to move either. So Zhang Qilin calmly found a corner to lean against, closed his eyes, and rested.

"Hey! Why are there stones on this dark ground?"

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were originally with Xiao Hua and Huo Youxue, and the other was with the Huo brothers. But finding the mechanism was everyone's job. They were also observing the people around them and looking for the mechanism. But on the way to find the mechanism, Wu Xie tripped and fell with a loud thud. A few seconds later, Wu Xie's voice could be heard.

Shining the flashlight, Xie Yuchen saw his unlucky childhood friend, his face flushed red as he tried to suppress the pain, two pebbles clutched in his hand.

"Are you alright, Wu Xie?"

Because they were close by, Xie Yuchen was the first to walk up to Wu Xie. After checking that the situation wasn't serious, he casually asked a question.

"without…"

"Ahhh!"

Just as Wu Xie was about to say that he was alright, his words were suddenly cut off halfway, as a piercing scream came from the direction of the stone gate to their right.

Along with the incessant screams, a small beam of light suddenly appeared at the tomb entrance.
