Tomb Raiders: She Comes from the Ancient Martial Arts World

Through the excavated entrance, the group filed in and descended from the ancient city of Tongjing.

There were guards at the entrance.

Zhang Rishan, taking advantage of Chen's status as a specially appointed expert, helped Ling Yue get rid of the two men.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ling Yue jumped down and followed Chen Jinshui and the others at a distance.

The men who came down this time were mainly from the Chen family. The Huo, Li, and Qi families also sent men to go down with them, but only Chen Jinshui and Huo Daofu went down in person, which shows that Chen Jinshui also had some other ideas about the treasure.

However, the omnipresent snakes and the traps that release insects at the drop of a hat in Gutongjing did not go as planned. After entering the core area marked on the map, they passed through countless rubble and collapses and were soon attacked by black-haired snakes.

The group panicked and ran aimlessly. When they passed through a secret room and retrieved a stone tablet inside, they triggered a mechanism that caused many black-haired snakes and corpse beetles to appear in the room.

Black-haired snakes are highly venomous and possess an astonishing ability to leap and bound.

The corpse beetle is poisonous and bites anyone it sees, quickly spreading across both sides of the wall and the ground.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Chen Jin decisively grabbed a waiter, pushed him to the ground, and then ran away, stepping on the waiter's body.

Seeing this, Hordorff naturally followed quickly.

Some of the workers were a beat too slow and got bitten by snakes or insects.

For a moment, shouts, cries for help, and screams filled the air.

Faced with such danger, Yang Hao was so frightened that his hands and feet went weak, as if he had been frozen in place by an invisible force, and could only watch helplessly as the insects crawled onto his body.

Looks like I'm really going to die here today!

Just as Yang Hao resigned himself to his fate and awaited death, a figure suddenly slid down from above.

Before Yang could even see whether the person sliding down was a human or a ghost, he was grabbed by the backpack on his back and taken off.

Yang Hao was stunned.

It's flying! It's flying!

Yang Hao instinctively exclaimed "Huh?", but before the exclamation could even leave his throat, a cold voice said, "Shut up."

The voice wasn't loud, nor was it particularly harsh, but it instantly silenced Yang Hao.

The sudden feeling of being suspended in mid-air made Yang Hao struggle for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.

Wait a minute, this person is saving him, so why is he struggling like that?

So he obediently let himself be carried away and quickly left the secret room.

Once his feet were firmly on the ground again, Yang Hao quickly turned around and realized that the person who had carried him all the way out of the air was actually Sister Li, Professor Jia's assistant who had bandaged his wounds last night and was very friendly!

Judging from her quiet demeanor throughout the journey, which kept her from disturbing Chen Jinshui and the others, it was clear that she had secretly followed them down.

Yang Hao was unsure what expression to make, because he guessed that this Sister Li was clearly not as simple as she appeared.

—That's obvious! If someone can kick him off a wall and send him flying several meters away, how could they be an ordinary person!

Ling Yue ignored his complicated gaze and looked around.

Once she was sure there was no immediate danger, she whispered to him, "Don't make a sound. Just stay with me. Once we've finished this, you can go back."

The change in her voice from soft and sweet made Yang Hao pause again.

Only after Ling Yue had walked quite a distance away did Yang Hao suppress her turbulent thoughts and quickly catch up: "Who exactly are you? Why are you helping me?"

He also wanted to ask if it was possible to rescue Li Cu as well.

Not far from here, there was a cliff, which Ling Yue was about to pass by before leaving.

Suddenly, a strange noise was heard below, and there was a faint smell of roasting insects in the air.

Don't ask her how she can tell it's roasted bugs just by smelling it; she's just very experienced.

Thinking of Hei Xiazi, Liang Wan, and the others who had gotten separated from Yang Haoli and the others, Ling Yue stopped in his tracks.

Yang Hao wanted to ask more questions, but was intimidated by Ling Yue's cold and distant attitude, which was completely different from when they were outside, and dared not say another word.

And so, the two of them stood there for a while.

At the bottom of the cliff, Hei Xiazi had just asked Liang Wan and Su Wan why they didn't call for help.

Liang Wan was not in a good mood and didn't want to talk.

Su Wan answered honestly, "Mencius said, 'One should not be subdued by force,' and I do not want to fall into the hands of the enemy."

The voice was unfamiliar, and Ling Yue couldn't place it against anyone he knew.

However, just by listening to that voice, you could tell it belonged to a naive and inexperienced young man.

Ling Yue turned to Yang Hao and asked, "When did you get separated from Su Wan and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao was surprised to learn that this person actually knew about Su Wan!

She immediately became anxious, and a greater sense of anticipation arose within her. "Sister Li, do you know Su Wan?"

He thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up even more: "Are you an innocent person?!"

Fearing that Ling Yue might be aloof and impatient with unnecessary chatter, Yang Hao continued, "There were four of us who came down this time: me, Su Wan, Li Cu, and Sister Wan. Later, we also met Wu Xie and Hei Yanjing. We don't know where Wu Xie went, but Hei Yanjing saved us, and we've been together ever since!"

Ling Yue nodded.

The boy below was answering someone else's question, so there are at least two people below.

"Wait here for me." Ling Yue said succinctly, then turned and jumped off the bottomless cliff in front of him.

Yang Hao was startled and quickly took two steps after her, but had to stop at the edge of the cliff: "Sister Li! What are you doing?!"

Why would someone jump off a cliff without a second thought?

When he landed and could see the light of the campfire and the three figures sitting around it, Ling Yue drew his ink bamboo and pushed it horizontally across the cliff.

After changing its falling direction and dissipating the force of the fall, Ling Yue spun around and landed safely.

When I looked up, I met three pairs of eyes that were looking at me at the same time.

Upon seeing the strangers falling from the sky, Liang Wan was initially a little uneasy, fearing that it was the Wang family who had discovered they were still alive.

But upon seeing the familiar ink bamboo in the other person's hand, Liang Wan immediately realized what it was, slowly stood up, and exclaimed incredulously, "A-Yue?"

Ling Yue then remembered that he was still wearing a human skin mask.

It must be said that Zhang Rishan's skill in making human skin masks is truly exceptional.

Not only is it breathable and skin-friendly, but it also acts like a second face, so your expressions won't look stiff or lifeless.

Sometimes Ling Yue would even forget that he had something stuck to his face.

There's no need to hide your identity anymore.

Touching the edge behind her ear, Ling Yue tore off the human skin mask, revealing her original face.

The colored contact lenses were removed, restoring the original eye color.

Upon seeing that it really was Ling Yue, Liang Wan couldn't help but let out a joyful scream, rushed over like a gust of wind, and hugged Ling Yue's waist tightly.

He nestled his head against her chest, looking pitiful and aggrieved: "A-Yue! It really is you! Did you come to save me? Waaah, I knew A-Yue would come to save me!"

He looked so energetic that you couldn't tell he hadn't eaten or drunk anything for days.

Hei Xiazi and Su Wan stood there for a while.

The gaze behind the black-clad man's sunglasses also lingered on Ling Yue; her arrival seemed to bring a glimmer of hope.

It was truly a pleasant surprise.

Even the fearless blind man couldn't help but feel joy at her arrival.

Only Su Wan asked blankly, "A-Yue? Ah, did you fall down from up there too?"

Well, now the number of people waiting to die here has increased from three to four.

Su Wan thought about it for a while, but still couldn't understand why Liang Wan was so happy.

Could it be that the two sisters were so close that they could die together, and Wan Jie felt incredibly happy?

Su Wan imagined the scene of herself, her brother, and Ya Li dying here together, and then lowered her head in shame.

Sure enough, he still couldn't feel genuinely happy and joyful like Sister Wan.

hateful!

Could it be that his brotherly bond with Ya Li Hao Ge ultimately lost out to the sisterly bond between Wan Jie and her best friend?!
