Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

As more and more people fell, the procession moved slower and slower.

At first, Li Cu was able to support Egg Sister, but soon his eyes rolled back and he and Egg Sister fell to the sand together.

Wu Xie quickly ran over, lay down on the ground to catch his breath, then put Li Cu's hands and feet on his body and carried Li Cu on his back.

Ling Yue glanced at him suspiciously a few times, and after confirming that he could still move, she left him alone for the time being, adding another person to the list of those being dragged along.

At least Guozi is a girl, and Ling Yue took good care of her when they were on set. Ling Yue even took off his coat and made a simple protective pad for the back of Guozi's head.

Dragging three people with one hand is not Ling Yue's limit, but rather the limit of the number of people that can be lined up on the ground behind her.

When Wang Meng fainted, Ling Yue was still thinking about how to add two more, but in the blink of an eye, the people behind him all collapsed one after another, as if they had made an appointment.

In the end, only Ling Yue was standing, Wu Xie was kneeling, and Ma Rila was lying on the ground.

Ling Yue was completely at a loss. He dropped the three people he was holding and looked at Ma Rila and Wu Xie.

They still chose Wuxie, who seemed to be in the second best condition.

"What do we do now?" Ling Yue squatted down in front of Wu Xie, reaching out to lift his chin so he could look up at him.

Wu Xie was panting, his eyes were somewhat unfocused, and Li Cu, who had already fainted, was still on his back.

With her forcing him to look up, Wu Xie's eyes were even more blurry from the sunlight.

He strained to focus, trying to make out Ling Yue, who was backlit in front of him: "If you can only take one person with you, cough! Me or Li Cu, who will you take?"

Seeing how difficult it was for him to speak, I thought he was about to say something very important.

Is this the result?

Ling Yue showed no sign of difficulty: "I have two shoulders, I can carry both of you."

Wu Xie closed his eyes, gave a weak laugh, his voice growing increasingly hoarse: "Alright, you're amazing!"

I feel extremely dizzy.

Wu Xie knew he was about to give up.

He clung to his last shred of consciousness and instructed Ling Yue: "Later, we'll encounter people. If you sense anything amiss, don't attack, unless..."

thump—

Passed out.

Ling Yue suddenly understood why some strange people could die halfway through delivering their important last words.

Just like Wu Xie.

So unless what?

Unless the person you encounter is really weird?

Unless the person you encounter isn't human?

Unless the people they encounter are the ones who will attack them first?

Hey!

When he wakes up, we must criticize him for not finishing his important last words and wasting his limited time and energy on nonsense.

Since Wu Xie said they would encounter people, Ling Yue decided not to try to take a large group of people with him.

Bored while waiting, I subconsciously lined up the people who had fainted: Wu Xie next to Li Cu, Li Cu next to Marila, Marila…

No, Ma Rila is timid. If she's next to Lao Mai and the others, she'll definitely faint again from fright. So let's move Wang Meng from the other side of Wu Xie.

When Garu received the news and came looking for him, he saw this strange scene.

He saw that all the people he was supposed to pick up were lined up in two rows, lying peacefully and neatly on the sand.

It's the kind of person who puts their hands on their abdomen, spreads their toes naturally, and covers their face with various scarves or coats.

Garu's feigned foolish grin almost cracked open.

He glanced at the sky again, making sure that it hadn't taken too long for him to receive the message and get here.

How did they all die?

He glanced at the only woman standing there, a hint of fear and murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Could it be that this woman killed everyone?

Who exactly is she? She's neither from the Nine Gates nor the Wang family. Could it be that other forces in Gutongjing are eyeing her?

Having received Wu Xie's prior instructions, Ling Yue pretended to be blind and didn't notice the murderous intent that was impossible to hide in the other person's expression and eyes. He calmly raised his hand and greeted them: "Hello, can you help us? My companions have all fainted due to dehydration."

Garu glanced at the two rows of people lying on the ground and thought to himself, "Do you think I'm stupid? Is fainting the same as being dead?"

Ling Yue ignored his precautions, bypassed Wu Xie and the others who were lying closest to him, picked up Su Nan, and prepared to use Su Nan as a test.

They simply put the person on the camel that the other party brought.

After observing for a moment, the other person chuckled and lifted the scarf off Su Nan's face, subtly checking her breath.

Upon realizing that the person had indeed fainted, Garu's lips twitched, but he quickly regained his憨厚傻傻 (simple and silly) smile and clapped his hands: "Great, great, someone else can be taken home~ Hehe, I'll take them, I'll take them!"

He ran around yelling and started pulling off the scarves and coats off other people's faces.

Ling Yue pretended not to see it, and after confirming that this person was not going to make a move now, he dragged the two camels with softer cushions to Wu Xie and the others, and then picked them up one by one and piled them on top of each other.

The silly Garu was playing around while carrying people, and he was actually quite agile.

Ling Yue genuinely suspected that the other person wasn't pretending to be stupid, but rather treating her like a fool.

With Garu feigning ignorance and Lingyue feigning blindness in perfect harmony, the two finally managed to get everyone onto the camels. Then Garu led the camels ahead, hopping and skipping around like a fool while laughing and joking as he led the way.

Ling Yue looked quite tired.

Never mind, let's respect other people's hard work.

After walking a short distance, they indeed saw a lake, and Ling Yue guessed that this was the place where Marila had smelled the scent.

Not far from the lake, there is a simple manor.

Upon seeing Ling Yue, who had walked back on his own, among the people Garu brought back, the woman who greeted them with a smile paused, glanced at Garu subconsciously, and then continued smiling at Ling Yue, saying, "Hello, did you get lost around here?"

Ling Yue, who had already pretended to be blind with ease, nodded: "Yes, we encountered an accident. We lost our car and belongings. Luckily, we met you. May I ask your name?"

The woman was very welcoming. While helping Garu settle everyone into the room, she said to Ling Yue, "My name is Surig. The person who brought you back is my son Garu. He likes to play around in the neighborhood and picks up anyone he sees, whether they are dead or alive."

Ling Yue expressed her gratitude simply and then got the chance to take a shower and wash her hair.

Finally, I can wash it!

Knowing that Ling Yue had no change of clothes, Su Rige even specially dug out a set of her own bright clothes for her. "These are clothes I wore when I was young. I got pregnant with Garu soon after, so I couldn't wear them anymore. Then my husband died, so I stopped wearing clothes like these."

There was still a hint of sadness on her face.

Ling Yue almost believed it.

After taking a shower and drying her hair until it was half dry, Ling Yue changed into the Tibetan robe provided by Su Rige.

The Tibetan robe has a simple design, with a white inner shirt underneath and a red diagonal apron on the outside, trimmed with a white fur trim. It's quite comfortable to wear.

After fastening his belt and tying his half-dry hair into a loose braid that draped across his chest, Ling Yue prepared to go see Li Cu in the next room. Upon opening the door, he first saw Wu Xie wearing a men's Tibetan robe.

Wu Xie paused for a moment when he saw her, then laughed and said, "Oh, you're taking a shower now?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yue remembered that he had reminded him that he hadn't washed his hair for several days.

He pushed open Li Cu's door and went inside.

Wu Xie followed him in to take a look. "It'll be a while before he wakes up. Do you want to come outside for a walk with me?"

Ling Yue knew he must have something to do, and glanced at Li Cu.

Wu Xie immediately understood and called out to Wang Meng, asking her to stay and guard Li Cu.

Now that everything was arranged, Ling Yue naturally followed Wu Xie out: "Where's Marila?"

As Wu Xie stepped aside to let her walk beside him, he replied, "Don't worry, she's already finished drinking and is asleep."

Ling Yue recalled his thoughts when Wu Xie fainted, and said to Wu Xie, "Next time you're going to die, remember to put the important things first when you're giving your last words. Otherwise, what if you die before you finish saying the important things?"

Wu Xie was speechless, really, even more speechless than when his third uncle first took him into the tomb!
