Ahead was a slope.
On the slope, there was only one person.
He looked like a teenager, about fifteen or sixteen years old, holding a flashlight in his left hand, dimming the light to the darkest setting, cautiously surveying the surroundings.
His right hand was pulling on one end of a rope.
It seemed like he was about to pull at any moment.
In front of him was a tunnel.
There were several piles of dirt next to it, probably from digging through.
There were also some Luoyang shovels lying around.
Needless to say, this was another group of tomb robbers.
“What’s with this?”
Old Li furrowed his brow.
Zhang Chen was surprised.
This must be Wu Lao Gou.
The age matches up.
The rope matches up too.
And this is Biaozi Ridge.
This must be the real Blood Corpse Tomb.
At the thought of the Blood Corpse Tomb, Zhang Chen immediately wanted to back out.
He may be accurate with his hidden weapons now.
But those blood corpses are incredibly ferocious.
And there might be poison on their bodies.
With his current skills, he would find it hard to kill such a thing.
Too bad he doesn’t have the Xuan Yu hand.
If he had the Xuan Yu hand, he wouldn’t be afraid of poison.
While he was thinking this.
The Red Girl beside him was startled.
She lowered her voice and said, “So the tomb we just entered was fake?”
“What?”
Zhang Chen was taken aback.
Red Girl gritted her teeth and said, “To think that I, the Second in Command of Changsheng Mountain, was tricked. These guys are the real tomb robbers, the ones before must have been planted by them to lure us away. They probably knew that Changsheng Mountain was involved, so they used this trick!”
Zhang Chen’s mind raced and he instantly understood what she meant.
He couldn’t help but nod, murmuring to himself, “No wonder it felt so off. So the Wu family is quite cunning!”
“Wu family?”
Red Girl was taken aback.
She instantly realized, “The Nine Gates Wu family?”
“Yeah!”
Zhang Chen responded.
“How do you know them?”
Red Girl asked curiously.
To be honest.
There are a lot of extraordinary people in this world.
But in the territory of Changsheng Mountain, they, the Dismantling Clan, have also recruited many.
But they had never heard of a young man with such skills.
And…
His skills, hidden weapons, light skills…
Were simply too dazzling.
Plus, his actions and demeanor gave off an air of being an old veteran.
Everything about him felt bizarre.
Now he even recognized the Wu family among the Nine Gates.
It was just really strange.
In this day and age, it’s incredibly difficult for someone from a small town to go to Changsha City.
Not to mention that the Nine Gates control Changsha City.
Someone like him, once he goes there, will inevitably be noticed.
It’s very unlikely that he would know anyone from the Wu family.
How could he have recognized them at a glance?
Zhang Chen just furrowed his brow and said, “I do know them!”
“You…”
Red Girl was angered by his single sentence.
She almost flared up again.
This kid.
He really knows how to get under people’s skin.
Just then.
That fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy suddenly looked in their direction.
He growled, “Who’s there…”
Then he flipped his hand.
He grabbed his box cannon.
Without hesitation, he fired.
Don’t underestimate him because of his young age.
His marksmanship was not sloppy at all.
He fired a whole round.
The dust on the ridge flew up, stirred by the bullets.
But the three of them were hiding behind the slope.
And bullets don’t turn corners.
They were naturally unharmed.
But now, they had obviously been spotted.
“You did that on purpose!”
Zhang Chen glared at Red Girl.
Red Girl rolled her eyes and ignored him.
In fact, she really didn’t do it on purpose.
Who would have thought that this boy, though young, had sharp ears.
The slightest sound alerted him.
But…
His shout.
Gave Red Girl an idea.
If she could provoke a fight between the two sides.
Wouldn’t that be an opportunity for her to escape?
No no!
She came here for the tomb.
Since the Wu family from the Nine Gates was involved.
Then there must be good stuff in the tomb.
She couldn’t go back empty-handed.
Besides, there was only one of them.
The rest were likely in the tomb.
She was already planning to be the last one standing.
Now wouldn’t this be a great chance?
Thinking this, Red Girl said to Zhang Chen, “The Wu family is here, so the tomb must have good stuff. Let’s work together, and whatever we find, we’ll split it three ways?”
Zhang Chen was surprised.
So you’re a Red Girl like this?
But…
It’s not really that strange.
She’s from one of the four great schools of tomb robbers.
And she came here for the Blood Corpse Tomb.
It’s normal for her to have this kind of mind.
But Zhang Chen didn’t plan to get involved.
Who knows how dangerous this Blood Corpse Tomb is better than him?
He didn’t intend to make a move.
But Old Li on the side was eager to give it a go.
Old Li was never someone who could sit still.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be doing this kind of thing.
He never hesitated when killing.
Seeing this opportunity, he winked furiously at Zhang Chen.
“Don’t even think about it, this Blood Corpse Tomb is dangerous, there are things in the tomb!”
Zhang Chen said.
Old Li was taken aback.
Red Girl was confused.
You’re saying you’re normal?
I think you’re full of quirks.
They were hiding there, keeping themselves unseen.
But the half-grown boy was getting anxious.
His second brother, uncle, and father were all in the tomb.
Now someone was cutting off their escape route.
He was both anxious and annoyed.
But after firing a round, the other party still didn’t show themselves.
He also didn’t know how many people there were, what their methods were, or who they were…
As he was thinking this.
He suddenly heard his second brother shout from the tunnel, “San Ya, pull!”
The boy was startled.
The voice sounded like his second brother’s, and something seemed to have happened.
He didn’t care about the people behind him anymore.
He put all his strength into pulling the rope.
Unexpectedly, after pulling a few times, he suddenly felt a strong force pulling back on the other end of the rope.
He almost lost his grip.
He quickly wrapped the rope around his arm twice, leaned back, and began to struggle against that unknown force.
“San Ya, run…”
Suddenly, a shout.
At the same time, the rope suddenly felt like it had broken.
He staggered, and the rope was pulled out of the hole by him, with something tied to the other end.
He didn’t have time to look, he picked it up and ran.
He felt the great danger behind him.
His mind raced, and he suddenly thought of those people.
He gritted his teeth, no longer caring who the other party was, he turned around and ran towards them.
It was only about twenty-five feet.
With the boy running at full speed, it wouldn’t take long to get there.
At this time.
Zhang Chen, who was behind the slope, moved his ears, sensing something was wrong.
The sound from the tunnel was not loud.
And they were at the top of the slope.
Now that they heard the footsteps, they realized something was wrong.
He immediately looked out.
The next moment, he saw that the half-grown boy who had fired a round at them was running towards them, holding a severed arm.
He was about to reach the slope.
Red Girl and Old Li also sensed something was wrong.
As soon as they looked out, they saw that the half-grown boy had already rushed to their side, like a gust of wind…
