"This...this isn't a solution either. Brother Ling, do we have any more explosives?"

Wu Sansheng had just been rescued by Pan Zi and was now leaning against him. Seeing Wu Xie surrounded, how could he, as the third uncle, not be anxious? He couldn't help but feel annoyed that he hadn't brought enough equipment when he called them over.

However, Wu Xie had just shouted about the explosives to Ling Xiao. This Ling Xiao was cunning and a master of acting; he'd fooled him the first time they met, and just now, after glancing at him, he'd turned away as if he hadn't seen him. Clearly, he was planning to keep Wu Xie silent. In that situation, if Wu Xie had actually spoken, that human-headed bird would have killed him instantly; even a celestial being wouldn't have been able to save him in time. He was vengeful! He was retaliating for Wu Xie specifically requesting him to come, causing Wu Xie to hang on the cliff for so long!

But he himself caused Ling Xiao's death here. Although he didn't know how Ling Xiao had managed to come back to life, Ling Xiao was the one who ultimately suffered the loss, which also proved that his guess was correct: Ling Xiao really did have the ability to bring the dead back to life.

If he could, he wouldn't want Ling Xiao to help him with anything anymore, but now these mercenaries are hard to mobilize without A Ning's orders. Although Xie Yuhua and Hei Xiazi are strong, two against many is not as fast as explosives, and the chance of getting injured is also greater.

"The guide said we can't bring dangerous items up the mountain." Ling Xiao politely declined, implying, "I'm following your instructions, so if you don't let me bring anything, I naturally won't bring anything."

"Brother Ling, Wu Xie has caused you a lot of trouble these past few days. If he has offended you in any way, I, his third uncle, apologize first." Wu Sansheng looked like he was in pain and had to speak in a low voice.

"Uncle Wu, you're too kind. But I'm the kind of person who likes to do business. It's normal to expect something in return when doing business. Unfortunately, I saved Wuxie a few times before, so I guess it's a life-saving favor. It's not too much to ask for some interest, is it?" Ling Xiao's voice was soft, but it sent chills down the spines of the group.

Upon hearing this, Pan Zi's tone became somewhat agitated, and his expression seemed to show a hint of heartache as he said, "Brother Xiao Ling also saved my life. I'm willing to repay him with my life if I fire a shot to distract those birds. I only hope that my life can offset the kindness of Brother Xiao Ling in saving Master Xiao San and me."

"Is your life worth that much? You're using that to blackmail me." Ling Xiao's tone was tinged with disdain.

"Then what do you want? My life?" Wu Sansheng seemed to be enraged.

"Uncle Wu's health is so bad. How can someone with such a bad health keep going into tombs? He even invited so many people and threatened me, making me feel like I'm a big bad guy if I don't save people. I'm so wronged! I'm the best person in the world! I've already said that I only want a little bit of reward, that's all!" Ling Xiao leaned against Xie Yuhua, feeling wronged.

Wu Sansheng glanced at Xie Yuhua, signaling him to try and persuade him. Xie Yuhua, unusually, remained silent and stood with the child this time.

Pan Zi realized that he had acted impulsively. Ling Xiao hadn't said he wouldn't save him, nor was it for Wu Xie's sake. He was taking revenge on Wu Sansheng. He could have chosen not to participate in this tomb raiding, but Third Master had specifically requested him to come, causing him to lose his life and ultimately his physical body. He had wronged Ling Xiao.
