Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

Ling Yue took out ice silk gloves from the side pocket of his waist, slowly put them on, and then reached out to gently feel along the stone statue.

These gloves, woven from ice silkworm silk, are exceptionally light and delicate, feeling like a second skin when worn. They are impervious to water, fire, and poisons, while also preserving the hand's tactile senses.

Following the stone wall that extends outward from the stone statue, Ling Yue carefully explored his way up and found an exit hidden by a clump of tree roots.

After mentally comparing the locations above and below ground, I roughly guessed that going up from here should lead to another cave in the ancient tree.

No wonder Chen Jinshui, the sixth brother, didn't stay flustered for long after discovering the stone gate was blocked; his act suddenly became very fake.

It seems he remembered there was another exit here.

Although he didn't find any other clues he was looking for, he at least found an exit, and Ling Yue prepared to go down.

On the way back, we passed a low stone cave. As I was about to go inside to check it out with my flashlight, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my arm against the stone wall at the cave entrance.

Ling Yue looked back and saw that the wound he had been cut by the iron spikes had reopened.

The blood in the wound seemed to be forcibly sucked out by an invisible force, forming a blood mist in the air before quickly disappearing.

Ling Yue stepped back, turned his head, and looked thoughtfully at the stone wall.

Blood was still being sucked out, but Ling Yue didn't rush to stop it. Instead, he reached out and pinched the wound hard.

A large clump of blood was immediately sucked out.

Because there is a lot of blood, the blood mist formed in the air is more noticeable.

Ling Yue's gaze was fixed on the blood mist, and finally, following the direction in which the blood mist disappeared, he discovered a peculiar stone.

Most of the stone is embedded in the rock wall, and its color is slightly darker than the surrounding stones. When a flashlight is shone on it, it appears slightly reddish.

It has a visual resemblance to hematite.

Ling Yue glanced back at the others. Zhang Rishan and the others were also feeling the suction on their wounds and were currently bandaging them.

The two men Luo Que rescued had the most wounds, and blood was constantly being sucked out as they cried out in fear and pain.

Ling Yue pulled out a dagger and pried the stone out.

The closer the stone got, the more agitated the blood in her wound became, forcibly sucking it out and disappearing into the stone.

The red color inside the stone is visibly intensifying.

If Ling Yue were to carry the stone along like this, he would likely lose too much blood and faint.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Yue first tore off a piece of his close-fitting T-shirt and tightly tied it around the wound, then pressed the acupoints on the upper part of his arm to stop the bleeding.

She was actually very curious about what the stone would look like after it had absorbed a lot of blood.

I wonder if it sucks other types of blood besides human blood?

At the same time, she also roughly guessed that the previous barbed wire and stone statues probably contained this special mineral.

After stuffing the ore into his waist bag, Ling Yue walked back to Chen Jinshui and the others.

As they took a step forward, they heard Chen Jinshui exclaim in alarm: "Why is it still sucking blood! What kind of monster is this?!"

Ling Yue took a step back without making a sound.

Chen Jinshui's shouts quickly turned into cursing, indicating that he hadn't been sucked blood.

"President Zhang, could you please go down and get that box for me?" Chen Jinshui noticed that his injuries had stopped causing any problems.

But he was also feeling uneasy and just wanted to get out as soon as possible. His tone became more and more forceful. He said he was inviting them, but he also brought up Grandpa Chen and the Buddha.

Ling Yue followed their gaze downwards and saw that there was indeed a box in the gap under the stone statue's hand. He took the initiative to speak up: "With me here, there's no need to trouble Boss Zhang. I'll go!"

Having said that, before the two could speak, Ling Yue had already flipped over and jumped off the stone statue's wrist.

Under the tense gazes of Chen Jinshui and Zhang Rishan, she jumped a few times on the stone statue and successfully reached the bottom of the crevice.

Chen Jinshui couldn't help but exclaim, "What a superb lightness technique! Little girl, quick! Quickly, give me the box!"

Zhang Rishan frowned, somewhat understanding why Wu Xie had to emphasize this repeatedly when having someone pass on a message.

It seems that his repeated admonitions to her not to wander off were not to his liking.

On the other side, seeing Ling Yue's actions, Luo Que also unconsciously revealed a solemn expression.

Where did this Ling Yue come from? Why can't we find any information about what happened before? It's as if he just appeared out of thin air.

It's unclear whether the sudden addition of such a helper to the Nine Gates will have any impact on the Wang family.

Luo Que was somewhat troubled when he thought of the latest instructions from above.

Find a suitable opportunity to contact Ling Yue more often, but he had already tried his best to contact him before.

However, when the other person is aloof and eccentric, and unwilling to talk to anyone, even if you stand right in front of her, she will treat you as if you don't exist.

"Hey! Bring it up here quickly! Those are my Chen family's things!" Chen Jinshui's shouts brought Luo Que back to his senses.

From his position, he could see exactly what Ling Yue was doing below.

Although it was quick, Ling Yue did manage to temporarily stop in a crevice by using the stone statue's hand as cover, and quickly opened the box to look through its contents.

Upon seeing this, Luo Que's heart stirred, realizing that this person had his own selfish motives.

Perhaps Wu Xie's approach to Zhang Rishan and his standing beside him was for a specific purpose.

Because she had a little ulterior motive, when she noticed Zhang Rishan crouching down to look in Ling Yue's direction, Luo Que suddenly spoke up: "President, what should we do with the corpse beetles on these two?"

Zhang Rishan's attention was diverted by him, and Ling Yue, who was reading quickly through his book, also glanced at Luo Que upon hearing this.

Luo Que was just waiting for this moment.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Luo Que was the first to turn his gaze away and, following Zhang Rishan's instructions, went to pry the corpse beetles that had burrowed into the flesh of the two men.

The book in the box is written in Yuezhi script, and the contents recorded are related to the ancient city of Tongjing.

Ling Yue has specially trained shorthand skills; he can forcibly imprint all the contents of a single sheet of paper into his mind.

This forced memory can be guaranteed to remain for three days.

The book wasn't thick, and the content it contained was limited; Ling Yue finished reading it in ten breaths.

Amid Chen Jinshui's increasingly agitated shouts, Ling Yue put the book back into the box and replied, "Wait a minute, it's stuck!"

Before Chen Jinshui could ask why he was stuck or where he was stuck, Ling Yue had already done a somersault and flipped up from below.

Chen Jinshui rushed forward impatiently, snatched the box, opened it, and was somewhat disappointed: "How come it's just a tattered scripture?!"

Zhang Rishan also walked over at this moment, glanced at it from afar, and said: "It's Gutongjing."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshui was no longer disappointed. He quickly tossed the box aside and began to carefully flip through the book.

Even though he couldn't understand it, it didn't stop him from treasuring the book: "So what Fourth Grandfather left here back then was the treasure of Gutongjing! Haha, it seems that my Chen family has no choice but to go to Gutongjing!"

Zhang Rishan wanted to dissuade him, but little did he know that Chen Jinshui had already planned ahead. Taking advantage of Zhang Rishan and Ling Yue's inattention, he secretly placed a bag of explosives nearby and detonated it as he ran away.

With the explosives blocking their way, Ling Yue and Zhang Rishan's statues began to sway and lose their balance. They could only watch as Chen Jinshui climbed up like he was on steroids.

Ling Yue knew he wanted to exit through the upper exit, so he immediately told Zhang Rishan, "The exit is in that clump of tree roots up there!"

Zhang Rishan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly turned around and shouted to Luo Que, "Luo Que, go and stop him!"

Luo Que was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. He looked up, found a protruding rock, cast out the fishing line, and quickly climbed up the line.

Luo Que cheated with his fishing line, and though he started late, he quickly got caught up with Chen Jinshui and they were locked in a fierce battle.

Finally, Chen Jinshui threw out another pack of explosives, which caused the stone statue to shatter and the entire underground palace to shake violently.

The two men lying on the other arm of the statue screamed and rolled down, quickly falling to their deaths among a swarm of corpse beetles.

Seeing that the place was about to collapse and the exit was also affected, causing it to begin to crumble, Chen Jinshui quickly crawled out before the entrance was sealed.

"President!" Luo Que shouted anxiously down below.

Zhang Rishan stopped him from getting down: "Get out first! Think of a way to rescue us!"

Everything seemed so natural, as if Luo Que chasing after Chen Jinshui and leaving ahead of time was just a series of coincidences pieced together from unexpected events.

But Ling Yue knew that this coincidence was not a coincidence at all.

Once only Ling Yue and Zhang Rishan remained, he turned to look at Ling Yue and said, "You wait for me here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the fishing line that Luo Que had left behind and jumped down, dodging the rolling stones, heading straight for the lights.

I knew this old man had other plans!

Ling Yue was about to jump to the other side so he could see what he was up to.

But at that moment, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that under the narrow stone platform where I had temporarily stopped to avoid the view above when I was retrieving the wooden box, a bright and dazzling red had quietly bloomed.

Ling Yue turned his gaze back, changed his position, and leaned down halfway to look. It turned out to be a flower that had suddenly bloomed in a stone hollow under the platform!

What is this? !
