Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Upon hearing the old man's voice, everyone became alert and moved inside.

As you walk further in, the surrounding walls become less and less soil, gradually turning into blue-green minerals. When the lights shine on them, they appear exceptionally bright, prompting some visitors to touch and feel around. However, once they realize that these are just ordinary jade mines with little value, they stop paying attention.

"Isn't this passage a bit too long? We've been walking for half an hour already!"

"Could there be some kind of trap we missed? This place is full of these mine shafts, and some of the smaller ones look too big for a person to fit in. Could the path be inside and we've missed it?!"

Suddenly, a guy in the group, carrying a heavy backpack and sweating profusely, appeared. This guy was having a bad day; his brother had come with him, but he had eaten something that made him sick and his legs were getting weaker as they walked. So, the guy had no choice but to help carry his brother's backpack.

The backpack was meant to carry essential tools and food for tomb raiding, and it was quite heavy. After carrying it for so long with no end in sight, I couldn't help but feel angry and started complaining.

"possible!"

"Bro, you're pretty observant! You might actually be right!"

Qin Henian, with his sharp ears and keen eyesight, immediately heard the waiter's complaint.

But he didn't think those tiny holes, too small for half a body to fit through, were any kind of exit; he just offered a casual reassurance, hoping to boost morale.

Because the space was dark and everyone was in a hurry, the surroundings were quiet except for the sound of footsteps. The sudden conversation was easily heard. Even the old man in white leading the way was no exception, using his flashlight to examine the small mine shaft against the wall...

Others followed suit, and sure enough... there was a sharp-eyed foreigner in Jude Kaw's group who bent down and casually shone his light into a hole while walking around. As a result, the dark light shining through the hole revealed another passage.

"Boss! I've found something here!"

A shout stopped the people walking ahead. Ah Ning, with her sharp ears, heard the broken Mandarin and knew it was someone she knew. She consulted with Qiu Dekao beside her, then handed the person over to that annoying woman before turning around and walking back. She quickly figured out what was going on with her flashlight and went back to tell her boss.

Then Qiu Dekao was seen talking to Huo Xiangu about what they had discussed, completely ignoring Qin Henian and Zhang Qilin. After a while, the two of them finally decided to carve out the hole and go inside.

Ping ping pong pong...

Ping ping pong pong...

After a series of hammering and banging sounds, a passage large enough for one person to pass through was carved out. The first few men went in to scout ahead, and only after the flashlight beams could be seen inside did the others enter one by one.

As Qin Henian watched the group of people shoveling into the pot one by one like radishes, he was about to scoff at them in his heart when he noticed a gust of cold wind blowing past him. Instinctively, Qin Henian reached out and grabbed the gust.

Zhang Qilin was puzzled…

Zhang Qilin was puzzled…

Zhang Qilin was stunned...

Seeing that Zhang Qilin's facial expression didn't seem to change much, yet it conveyed the meaning behind it all, Qin Henian sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"Little Qilin! You're still a cub, why are you working so hard?"

"Let them go in if they want. You know what's inside all green and grimy! We'll just wait outside. Let them test the waters first, we'll just follow at the back."

Qin Henian said that this generation of cubs is really hard to raise!

"it is good!"

A gentle voice, like ice melting away, came from Zhang Qilin's throat.

For some reason, Qin Henian suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body, but he couldn't sense anything wrong with his surroundings.

On the other side, the men walking ahead scanned the ore in the passage, their faces full of disdain. This kind of ore wasn't worth much, and there was no need for them, these tomb raiders, to take it back.

Click, click....

Click, click....

As the group walked into the passage, some people were wondering where the mechanism was, and others were wondering if there were more mines like the ones before... But no matter what they were thinking, at that moment, cracking sounds suddenly rang out from the jade mine walls on both sides of the passage, followed by the walls collapsing and scattering jade fragments and stones everywhere. One by one, green humanoid monsters emerged from them and launched an attack directly at the group.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Due to the sudden situation, the sound of gunshots clashing with jade was ear-piercing. Bullets were fired at the green monster, but they did not stop its advance at all. Instead, Ah Ning and her group surrounded Qiu Dekao, and Huo's assistant also surrounded Huo Xiangu. Because Huo Xiuxiu had been forcibly left at the cave entrance by Huo Xiangu before, Huo's assistant was now only protecting Huo Xiangu.

But only a few minutes later, one after another the workers fell down. A look of seriousness appeared on Huo Xiangu's face. Then, as if she remembered something, the sudden panic in her heart disappeared, and she began to shout.

"Get the prepared strong alkali. This stuff is Miluotuo; we need to use strong alkali!"

Hearing what Huo Xiangu said, the Huo family's servants quickly took out the supplies that the Huo family had prepared for this time from their backpacks. What they got was a silver gun barrel that was different from the other guns. It was filled with strong alkaline water, and a group of people began to spray it on the monsters called Miluotuo.

Miluotu was also very effective; it started to melt as soon as it touched anything. Before long, the observant Aning discovered the black, long-haired snake inside Miluotu's head, which had been killed by the strong alkali.

"Brothers, spray these guys in the head, or smash their heads open and smash them to pieces. There are snakes inside, kill them and they won't attack us anymore!"

Ah Ning's clear voice echoed through the corridor, making sure everyone could hear it.

At Qin Henian's suggestion, Zhang Qilin pretended to help by slashing a few times, beheading several Miluotuo.

Click click click...

Click, click....

The sound of the wall cracking continued. Qin Henian took out a dagger from his backpack and went to help. He also controlled his aura to ensure that only Miluotuo, who was one meter away from him, could sense him. This distance was just right so that Qin Henian could easily deal with the Miluotuo that surrounded him.

"This can't go on. The walls keep crumbling, and the monsters inside seem endless. If this continues, we'll all be worn down!"

Ah Ning was very experienced in this situation, and she unleashed a barrage of attacks on her own boss, Qiu Dekao.

After listening, Qiu Dekao thought it made sense. He regretted entering this passage; he should have just gone back to the previous passage and continued forward.

"Cover! Everyone retreat!"

Several mercenaries that Jude Kao brought with him this time have already died. He had trained so many talents for so long... There was nothing he could do but immediately issue his orders. Anyway, the way in wasn't far, and retreating shouldn't be too difficult. All he had to do was fight his way out.

As Qiu Dekao's team reacted quickly, the Huo family did the same. After discussing it, the two sides decided to open a path back to the previous route.

Qin Henian and Zhang Qilin hadn't walked far and were the closest, so given their skills and agility, they quickly retreated from the passage and ran back to the previous one.
