Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

They hadn't been inside long, and the stone gate wasn't closed yet.

With that thought in his mind, Lao Yuan quickly grabbed Huo Jincheng and ran, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Huo Jincheng was pulled so suddenly that he lost his footing and stumbled, almost falling to the ground.

Just then, a strong arm pressed down on Huo Jincheng's shoulder, securing him in place. Then, a loud "boom" was heard from the stone door as the mechanism closed and the stone door shut.

The other men had also heard what Lao Yuan said and ran as fast as they could, but in the end, they didn't make it in time for the stone gate to close, and none of them were able to get out.

"Oh dear! Young Master Huo, you seem to be in some trouble. Should we ask the blind man for help?"

"We happen to have some money, so I won't charge you too much. I'll offer you 500,000 for the half-bottle. Would you like some service like that, boss?"

Black Bear's sly voice suddenly rang out in the tomb chamber, startling everyone inside and putting them on high alert.

But when everyone saw who it was, they all looked surprised, their bodies tensed up, and they secretly moved a step or two away from the newcomer.

"Black Bear! What are you doing here?!"

Huo Jincheng looked at the man who suddenly appeared beside them. He was wearing a signature leather jacket over a white t-shirt, and black sunglasses. His aura was smug and his words were full of smugness. He looked at them with a wide grin.

"Hey! Boss, you can't say that!"

"We're all from the same gang, and this is a cemetery, after all. If you can come, why can't I, the blind man, come here?"

Hei Xiazi was calculating his next move, looking at Huo Jincheng and his group like a dog eyeing a bone.

"Hmph! Who knows what you're up to here!"

Huo Jincheng had no reason to praise Hei Xiazi's character, so he could only roll his eyes and grit his teeth as he spoke fiercely.

Crunch~ Crunch~ Crunch~~~

The sudden noise in the tomb interrupted the two people's conversation, causing everyone in the tomb to become highly alert. Some of the more intelligent people turned their heads to look at the coffin in the center of the tomb.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hei Xiazi leaped to Huo Jincheng's side, draped an arm over his shoulder, and leaned his head close...

"Boss, are you really not going to order a set meal? I'll reluctantly give you a discount: buy two, get one free!"

"One million to save three people, the boss is making a fortune!"

Hei Xiazi wouldn't take everyone out of here, after all, his cheap apprentice had transferred some money to his bank account before leading them out.

According to the plan, each young master or young lady of the Huo family can only bring back two people...tsk tsk...blind selection...let's see who's lucky!

boom!

Suddenly, the coffin lid in the center of the tomb was flung off, revealing a pair of withered, skeletal hands placed on either side of the coffin's edge. Then, abruptly, a headless body sat up from inside the coffin, its legs pushing off the ground, and the headless corpse stood up, taking a long stride out of the coffin and landing outside...

Then the half-bowl that Hei Xiazi was talking about spun around 360 degrees in the tomb, and then, facing the direction where Huo's men were gathered the most, it rushed toward the people at inhuman speed!

boom! boom! boom!

boom! boom! boom!

The dense whistling of bullets reached out towards the rapidly approaching severed body as everyone reacted...

The next second, ding! ding! ding! ding!

Ding! Ding! Ding…

After the bullet pierced the half-broken body, it only pierced and tore through the luxurious robes covering the corpse. There wasn't even a trace on the skin, let alone a bullet hole. The bullet ricocheted instantly, followed by a scene of utter despair...

Two bullets ricocheted back at Hei Xiazi, but he didn't move, letting the bullets hit his body, seemingly thinking about whether his physical body was stronger or the bullets were more powerful.

"Ahhh!"

"..."

"Ah...uh..."

Many of Huo Jincheng's men in the tomb had just fired a lot of bullets, so a lot of bullets were reflected back. Even if they had a lot of guns, they couldn't withstand such a blast.

So most of the group of men were injured, some seriously, some lightly. It was at this moment that Huo Jincheng looked at Lao Yuan and his other confidant who had just stood in front of him, turned to the black bear and shouted.

"Brother Hei! I'll give you this million, just take me and Old Yuan out of here!"

Upon hearing that a large sum of money had been deposited into his account, Hei Xiazi reacted swiftly, leaping and turning several times to stand before his new boss, smiling broadly as he pulled a POS machine from his pocket.

He didn't forget to add, "Thank you for your patronage, boss! I wish you booming business and abundant wealth!!!"

Having received the money, they naturally had to protect their employer. The four of them, including Hei Xiazi, were just a few steps away from the newly awakened Ban Jiegang. He waved to his boss, who was behind him, to follow them.

Meanwhile, the men, torn to pieces by the broken vat and left a bloody mess, lay on the walls, on the floor, and even in the corners, having paid a gruesome price…

The metallic smell of rust constantly irritated Half-Bottle, and gradually Half-Bottle became more and more agile. As if sensing the prey's intention to escape, it quickened its pace and rushed towards Black Bear and his companions...

Click!

Hei Xiazi activated the hidden mechanism he'd discovered while searching for money, opening the closed tomb door. Just as he was about to leave, he sensed something was wrong behind him and muttered to himself, "Idiots, they died so quickly! Couldn't they have held on a little longer? What a bunch of useless trash!"

"Boss, you all go out first. The blind man will stay behind to cover our retreat!"

Black Bear turned and walked past the people around him, standing in front of him. He pulled a small dagger from his waist and charged towards the half-broken jar that was rushing towards him.

Huo Jincheng wasn't one to dawdle. Since this tomb chamber wasn't suitable, they would try another one, and it would be best to leave someone to watch the mechanisms... Thinking this, Huo Jincheng quickly led his two assistants out of the tomb chamber's stone door and into the previous passageway.

After Huo Jincheng and his two henchmen disappeared, Hei Xiazi looked at the scattered limbs and flesh, blood gushing everywhere. His smile vanished instantly, replaced by a grimace, as he watched the half-bottle lunging at him once more.

Raising one hand into a claw shape, a golden, furry claw instantly appeared before him, its tip tipped with sharp, dark gray nails. As the half-bottle lunged again, the bear turned and pressed down with its leg, pinning half of the half-bottle's body down. Then, finding the half-bottle's weak point—its lumbar spine—the bear pierced straight into it with its claw tip…
