Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

Chapter 58 The Outstanding Henchman Ling Yue

After exchanging a few excited words, Chen Jinshui once again couldn't wait and led his men to rush towards the stone statue.

Seeing this, Ling Yue began to believe that this person wasn't deliberately acting.

After all, others learn from their mistakes, but this person keeps making the same mistake.

The iron mesh maze inside was so dangerous, and the steps at the foot of the stone statues were littered with corpses.

Among them, the right hand of the corpse had a clearly visible finger bone, indicating that the person who died here was not an ordinary person.

So where did Chen Jinshui get his confidence that he was more powerful than the person with the Faqiu Finger?

Zhang Rishan did not stop it, perhaps because he intended to use Chen Jinshui and others as a test.

When Chen Jinshui and the others were all affected, they were pulled like puppets by invisible threads, swaying and staggering towards the steps.

Zhang Rishan had just made his move when he said, "Ling Yue, you stay here. Luo Que, come with me to save people!"

Zhang Rishan and Luo Que kicked or flung everyone out of that area before Chen Jinshui and the others came to their senses. They shamelessly thanked Zhang Rishan and then inquired about what had just happened.

Zhang Rishan, with his hands behind his back, looked in the direction of the oil lamp: "The Buddha built this stone statue to suppress what lies beneath. As for what exactly it is, I don't know."

Knowing he wouldn't get anything today, and unwilling to let Zhang Rishan stay any longer, Chen Jinshui invited Zhang Rishan out for dinner and drinks.

They wanted to get the person out under the pretext of hospitality.

Anyway, this isolated tomb is on his Chen family's territory. He can bring people in again later. As long as he is willing to sacrifice lives to pave the way, he will be able to get what is under the statue!

The previous head of the Chen family, Chen Pi, had done so much in his life, yet he left Chen Jinshui not a single penny after his death.

Therefore, Chen Jinshui was certain that there was a treasure of dried tangerine peel hidden under the stone statue, and he was determined to turn the stone statue over and plow it several times!

Unfortunately, Chen Jinshui's plan was destined to fail. Just as everyone turned around, the underground palace shook violently.

Whether it was due to triggering a mechanism or someone above doing something, rocks collapsed and rolled down, blocking the stone gate in the blink of an eye.

Chen Jinshui cried out anxiously, "Oh no! How are we going to get out of here?!"

He called to his men and had them move stones, hoping to dig out the stone gate.

Zhang Rishan poured cold water on the idea: "With such a huge commotion, even if you dig out the stone gate, can you be sure the outer passage is still passable?"

Chen Jinshui gritted his teeth, "What can we do then! We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

Zhang Rishan focused his gaze on the stone statue: "The fact that it collapsed as soon as we went out shows that the owner of this place doesn't want us to leave."

He turned his scrutinizing gaze to Chen Jinshui: "Your Chen family are the masters here, yet you haven't found any clues?"

Chen Jinshui's eyes hardened, and he raised his hand as if to do something.

Zhang Rishan casually waved her hand in Ling Yue's direction, and Ling Yue, like the best henchman, suddenly draped the ink bamboo in her hand over Chen Jinshui's shoulder.

Chen Jinshui felt as if a thousand pounds were pressing on his shoulders, and he grimaced in pain. His thoughts immediately vanished, and he obediently confessed: "President, please don't do anything. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Actually, I've never been here before. I only know that Grandpa Chen and Buddha made a deal back then. Grandpa Chen was going to help Buddha build an underground maze to store some things."

Zhang Rishan raised his hand again.

The outstanding henchman Ling Yue retrieved the ink bamboo.

Chen Jinshui rubbed his shoulders, glancing at Ling Yue's face repeatedly, wondering what stupid and vicious scheme he was plotting.

Chen Jinshui then mentioned that Grandpa Chen hadn't left him anything, which is why he wanted to find this maze to see if Grandpa Chen's treasure was inside: "I just never expected that the maze I've been looking for would actually be right under the ancient tree!"

Thinking of Chen Pi's dying words, saying that even if he died, no one was allowed to approach the ancient tree, Chen Jinshui gritted his teeth again.

That old man, he'd rather die than hand over his treasured possessions!

As they were talking, Chen Jinshui suddenly threw a nine-clawed hook that gleamed with a cold light at Ling Yue, aiming straight for Ling Yue's face.

Ling Yue remained calm and composed. He leaned back, turned sideways, and swung his scorpion tail, kicking the nine-clawed hook back with even greater force.

Chen Jinshui's expression changed, and he awkwardly threw away the chains, stumbled to the side, and almost strained his back.

Ling Yue: "..."

Honestly, she really didn't know what else to say.

Ling Yue gave Zhang Rishan a look that left him speechless, then silently stood to the side with Mo Zhu in his arms, continuing to serve as a background figure.

For some reason, Zhang Rishan felt a little embarrassed.

Even though it was Chen Jinshui who got punished, he suddenly felt embarrassed that his good-for-nothing son had brought shame upon him abroad.

Chen Jinshui clutched his aching back and cried out in pain. His two remaining employees hesitated before coming up to help their boss up, keeping their heads down and not daring to utter a sound.

After such an embarrassing sneak attack that started and ended abruptly, Chen Jinshui has temporarily become obedient.

While smiling sullenly at Zhang Rishan, he secretly gestured to his assistant to pry the nine-clawed hook that Ling Yue had kicked into the stone wall opposite.

There was nothing I could do; I had no money in my pocket.

He spent a lot of money to have this nine-clawed hook specially made; he couldn't just leave it here like this, could he?

You can't step on the ground on the steps, so you have to climb up the stone statue to find another exit.

Zhang Rishan instructed Luo Que to hook the stone statue's fingers with fishing lines, and then tie the two fishing lines taut to the stone below, temporarily creating a rope.

Although Chen Jinshui was a bit stupid and ruthless, he was still quite skilled. After having two of his men stand in front of him as stepping stones, he managed to climb onto the stone statue without any major incident, using the fishing line as a stepping stone.

Compared to Chen Jinshui's clumsiness, Zhang Rishan was much more relaxed, and his pretentious style remained unchanged.

After stepping onto the stone statue, Zhang Rishan was about to turn around and call out to Ling Yue, but before he could turn around, Ling Yue was already right behind him.

She lightly tapped the fishing line a few times, and as if floating through the air, she stood lightly next to Chen Jinshui.

Seeing her move, Chen Jinshui swallowed hard and unconsciously moved to the side.

Chen Jinshui always felt that if he tried anything funny, this person would take care of him, which made him quiet down a lot.

When Luo Que came up, the fishing line suddenly broke, but luckily he managed to cast out another fishing line in time, hanging himself in mid-air.

The two men below screamed in agony. It turned out that the corpse beetles under the statue had been disturbed and had all come out to crawl onto the two men and gnaw at them.

Zhang Rishan looked at him and waited until Luo Que had safely climbed onto the stone statue before instructing him to use a fishing line to rescue the person.

Ling Yue turned around to examine the stone statue and found that it was indeed crafted in a very ancient style.

Apart from the basic features of eyebrows, eyes, face, body, and limbs, the rest of the body is very rough.

It seems like it was created in a hurry.

Can such stone statues really suppress unknown entities, as Zhang Rishan claims?

Perhaps what was truly used to suppress the unknown was something inside the stone statue.
