Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

After the insects were removed, the group recovered quickly.

They packed up and set off again the next day.

Because of his conversation with Ling Yue the night before, and the dissuasion from Guozi and others, Director Wang did not steal Wu Xie's gun again, and therefore lacked the confidence to negotiate with Su Nan.

Guai Guai, along with the other four members of the crew, continued on their way with the group.

Su Nan brought Galu along as well.

Both Ling Yue and Wu Xie had anticipated this. Wu Xie only asked a couple of perfunctory questions, and Su Nan casually uttered a couple of high-sounding words.

Both of them knew that the other was just going through the motions, and both knew that the other knew they were just going through the motions.

They had camels, food, and water again, but the previous journey through the desert still left them with lingering fear, and they walked listlessly.

They walked until the afternoon, when suddenly the camel refused to go any further, and the compass became useless.

Boss Ma asked Ma Rila, who then dodged towards Ling Yue, saying, "I...I don't know either! I don't know where Gutongjing is!" He's the kind of person who can find Haizi, why ask him!

Wu Xie checked the map, thought for a moment, and reassured Boss Ma: "Based on our departure time and the speed we've been traveling, Gutongjing should be nearby."

The group unloaded all the supplies and baggage from the camels and had to search the surrounding area on foot.

Walking ahead, Wu Xie and Li Cu, arm in arm, looked like best buddies and were whispering to each other.

Ling Yue, who was lagging behind, only saw Li Cu suddenly push Wu Xie away. Wu Xie smiled and said to him, "Bear with it, it'll be over soon," and then swung a punch and smashed it into Li Cu's nose.

The people standing nearby, including Grandpa Zeng and Guozi, instinctively looked at Ling Yue's face. Everyone knew that Ling Yue was Li Cu's bodyguard and had always been very protective of Li Cu.

Now that Wu Xie has suddenly attacked Li Cu, has he lost his mind?

However, Ling Yue did not react. He just glanced at it and then lowered his head to drink water.

Li Cu was completely stunned. He wiped his nose and shouted, "Wu Xie, are you crazy?!"

Wu Xie's smile remained unchanged: "It's finally time your blood could work its magic. Let's go!"

Having chosen the direction from which the blood splattered, he continued leading the way.

Walking behind the two, Su Nan seemed lost in thought. She looked at the blood on the ground, then at Li Cu, who was turning around to seek Ling Yue's support.

As they passed Li Cu, Su Nan smiled and reminded her, "No woman likes a man who always needs her to step up and protect him."

After saying that, he patted Li Cu on the shoulder.

Li Cu was taken aback, frowned, then covered her nose and held her breath as she walked forward.

They gave up the idea of ​​going to find Ling Yue.

He's not the kind of man who can't handle anything and can only rely on Ling Yue, humph!

Seeing that Su Nan had the kid under his thumb with just one sentence, Old Mai gave his boss a thumbs up, and Su Nan smiled meaningfully.

And so, Wu Xie kept throwing punches while Li Cu kept getting beaten up, and with Li Cu's nosebleeds, they finally found Gutongjing.

After crossing the sand dunes, a lake as blue as a desert gem appeared before everyone's eyes.

After walking for so long in the desert, everyone couldn't wait to rush down. As soon as they reached the lake, they dropped their luggage, rushed to the water, and splashed water on their faces to relieve the stuffiness and heat brought by the desert.

Only then did Ling Yue seem to finally remember his bodyguard duties. He silently walked to Li Cu's side and handed him a piece of candy: "Help replenish your blood sugar, so you don't feel dizzy."

Li Cu covered her nose and looked up at her with a wronged expression, her accusing eyes still showing. She called Ling Yue's name in a drawn-out tone, as if she were pleading, "You just watched him hit me like that!"

Hearing the tone of his complaint, Wu Xie smiled and gestured with his fist at Li Cu again, shamelessly declaring, "Believe it or not, I'll punch you again right now, and Ling Yue won't care?"

Life is tough, Li Cu sighed.

Of course he believes it!

Didn't I already say that as long as Wu Xie doesn't beat him to death, Ling Yue won't care?

As the three were talking, Old Mai and the others shouted with delight from the lakeside.

"There's gold! It's gold!"

Wow, so much gold!

"real!"

"Quick, pick it up! It's all gold!"

Su Nan's three henchmen, along with several members of the film crew, were happily picking up gold.

This gold once again subtly altered the atmosphere within the team.

Su Nan's three remaining subordinates had other ideas and seemed to no longer respect Su Nan, their leader. This subtle sense of alienation was evident when they were setting up the tent.

Su Nan didn't care about that; she was now keeping an even closer eye on Wu Xie.

However, when Wu Xie and Li Cu walked towards the lake, because Garu followed them, Su Nan stopped keeping an eye on Wu Xie and went to eat and rest to conserve his energy.

At the lakeside, Li Cu, who was getting irritated because Wu Xie said that this was not yet the ancient city of Tongjing, started taking off his clothes. In the end, he was left with only his boxer shorts and went into the water, trying to splash water on Wu Xie.

As a result, Wu Xie took advantage of the terrain, and his head and face were covered in yellow sand. He could only sullenly bury his head in the water and obediently wash his hair and take a bath.

When Li Cu pulled her head out of the water, she wiped her face and looked up at the shore. She was immediately shocked, her face turning pale. Her hands twisted and turned like a pretzel, unsure whether to cover her face or her private parts. "Ling Yue? What are you doing here! When did you get here?"

Ling Yue glanced at him and casually commented, "Quite fair-skinned."

It seems that people here always offer a polite compliment when they first see someone's appearance, figure, or even their outfit.

After consciously completing the social etiquette, Ling Yue lowered his head and said to Wu Xie, "I saw it. I'm leaving. I guess they're about to make their move."

Wu Xie looked up and stared at Ling Yue for a moment, confirming that there was no emotion in her eyes for the little brat. The little knot in her heart quickly disappeared.

He nodded. "Okay, from now on you just need to protect Li Cu. You don't need to worry about me."

Ling Yue frowned in disapproval: "Does it have to be this way?"

Wu Xie's life force is hardly resilient, and Ling Yue is always afraid that if he uses himself as bait so recklessly, he might one day really crash and burn.

Wouldn't she have ended up with nothing?

“No matter what your specific plan is,” Ling Yue said firmly, staring at Wu Xie, emphasizing each word clearly, “I will not let you die.”

Wu Xie's eyes flickered. Rationally, she knew what she meant by those words, but emotionally, her heart was swaying uncontrollably.

He looked up at Ling Yue.

At this moment, Ling Yue's expression as he looked down at him was far from pleasant, cold yet domineering.

Her gaze was extremely imposing, yet Wu Xie felt as if she were radiating a dazzling light.

He couldn't help but daydream, thinking how wonderful it would have been if he had met her many years ago.

Fortunately, Ling Yue was unaware of Wu Xie's thoughts, otherwise he would have definitely given him a disdainful look.

Then, with an expression of utter disbelief, he made a mental judgment: the weakest of the weak, get away from him immediately!

Unfortunately, Ling Yue was unaware of this.

Wu Xie didn't have time to think about these trivial matters anymore.

Seeing the two getting closer and closer and even making eye contact, Li Cu complained, "Wu Xie, what are you looking at!"

An enraged Li Cu transformed into a splashing bird, no longer caring about being shy, and vigorously splashed water at Wu Xie with both arms.

Wu Xie needed to do something else to distract himself, so he immediately retaliated with sand.

The two, one on top and one on the bottom, were fighting back and forth, one splashing water and the other throwing sand.

However, Li Cu was slightly outmatched. When he tried to climb ashore, Wu Xie held his head and shoulders down, and he struggled for a long time without being able to climb up.

Ling Yue, who had hidden to the side when the two started fighting: "..."

Hearing faint sounds of Garu making a move on the other side of the sand dune, Ling Yue saw that Wu Xie's enthusiasm for preventing Li Cu from getting ashore was not diminished at all, so he had to remind him, "Stop playing around, you two are so childish!"

They're all over fifty years old combined, and when they're all together, they're just so childish it's unbearable to watch!
