Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 73 gives newcomers a sense of participation.

"Cheng Feng, why don't you stamp this one under your feet too?"

Hearing the sounds coming from the coffin, Huo Ling swallowed hard.

Cheng Feng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. What's inside isn't a threat. Just put the mirror back and everything will be fine."

As he spoke, Cheng Feng flipped off the bronze coffin and bent down to pick up the bronze mirror from the ground.

Then it was placed back on the bronze coffin, and instantly the contents inside fell silent.

"There are some burial items down there, aren't you going to collect them?"

Huo Ling shone her flashlight down into the tomb chamber that appeared below and asked Cheng Feng a question.

"No, let's leave these for future archaeological teams, so they can at least feel a sense of participation!"

Cheng Feng glanced at the burial objects and immediately recognized their materials, losing all interest.

Cheng Feng's words made Chen Wenjin laugh in anger.

"Your mouth is so sharp, anyone else would be lucky to get three beatings a day."

Cheng Feng scoffed. What a joke. What was the point of honing all these skills?

Isn't it all so that I can do whatever I want?

"Cheng Feng, do you have any more rope?"

They had used up a lot of rope on the bamboo raft, and now all they had left in their bags were some food and small items like batteries.

Cheng Feng searched the imaginary space and found that the rope he had taken from Qi Yu's ship was already used up.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it, as there were quite a few iron chains here. Although these things were heavy, they were much stronger than ropes.

Taking this opportunity, Cheng Feng checked the condition of the worm again.

They discovered that the snake mother had already eaten her fill, but there were still a few pieces of the insect's body, each about the size of a water tank, left.

"If you can't eat them all, cut them up and feed them to your men. There are so many little snakes starving for food."

Cheng Feng gave an order in a rather irritable manner.

Only then did the snake mothers who had participated in the battle begin to tear apart the insect's flesh and throw it to the many small snakes.

Judging that the giant worm wouldn't live much longer, Cheng Feng withdrew his gaze and said:

"I don't have any rope here, so I'll just have to make do with this."

As he spoke, Cheng Feng flicked his toe and took a thick iron chain in his hand.

After pulling it off the bronze coffin, Cheng Feng waved his hand, making a whooshing sound.

The two women quickly dodged to the side; if it had hit them, they would probably have been shattered into pieces.

Aiming at the direction, Cheng Feng used centrifugal force to throw the chain upwards.

The chain fell steadily into the entrance above, its weight shaking down a considerable amount of dust.

"If it's not secured at the top, we won't be able to climb up."

Chen Wenjin covered his mouth and nose and said in a muffled voice.

Cheng Feng calmly tugged at the chain, but it didn't slide down despite the force.

"I'll go up first and help you secure it, okay?"

After saying that, Cheng Feng bent his knees and jumped up with force, using the chains for leverage, and he should have arrived at the entrance above.

Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling gave Cheng Feng a thumbs up; that move was truly brilliant.

Cheng Feng picked up the chains and shouted to Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling:

"Hold on tight, I'll pull you up."

After demonstrating his agility, Cheng Feng then demonstrated his strength.

After easily pulling the two women up along with the hundreds of pounds of chains, Cheng Feng lightly patted the dust off his hands.

"Well, are you impressed by my power? If this were ancient times, a whole bunch of people would bow down and worship me."

"Indeed, someone like you would have made a difference in any era, but unfortunately, this is the new China now."

Chen Wenjin's words were ostensibly flattery, but in reality, they were backstabbing.

What good is being powerful in the face of modern warfare? How many 40mm rounds can it withstand?

"And you're talking about me? If you were a man, you'd get beaten up sooner or later too."

After retorting to Chen Wenjin, Cheng Feng took out his flashlight and looked around.

The murals here are not as gloomy as before; they are all ethereal and otherworldly scenes.

There were fairies holding flowers, and golden boys and jade maidens; the celestial palace in the clouds radiated light, truly a reversal of extremes.

In addition to murals, there are also statues guarding both sides of the tomb passage, all of which have the characteristics of traditional Taoist immortals.

It's completely different in style from the tomb guardian beast.

"It seems Cheng Feng's words have come true again. This place is completely set up like a fairyland, and the body of the Prince of Xian should be inside."

Chen Wenjin shone his flashlight deep into the tomb passage.

Huo Ling nodded in agreement.

"Let's go, we should go and meet the owner of this place."

With that, Cheng Feng led the way into the depths of the tomb passage.

At the end, the three were stopped by a wall covered with patterns.

Are there any other mechanisms or secrets here?

Huo Ling looked around, trying to find the hidden door.

"There are no mechanisms here; the entrance to the main tomb is completely sealed off."

Cheng Feng stared intently at the mural in front of him and explained softly.

Huo Ling turned her gaze away and shone her flashlight on the mural, asking, "Then we'll have to break it open!"

What the two women didn't notice was that Cheng Feng's gaze momentarily wavered.

"Don't touch it! I want to preserve this mural!"

As Cheng Feng spoke, he took out the Zhanlu Sword from the imaginary space.

The two women looked at Cheng Feng with suspicion.

"You didn't take any of those burial objects, so why are you interested in these murals now?"

Cheng Feng carefully cut the mural with Zhanlu, explaining to the two women at the same time:

"This painting is not simple; the lines have the feel of a maze."

An ordinary person could be hypnotized by looking at the image too much, and then, following its suggestions, might suffocate themselves by holding their breath.

As he spoke, Cheng Feng had already completely cut off the entire mural.

After cutting it down, the two women discovered that it wasn't as thick as they had imagined; it was just a stone slab about seven or eight centimeters thick.

After Cheng Feng took the stone slab, the contents inside were revealed to the three of them.

"How come there's a woman here?"

Behind the mural was a small space where a beautiful woman dressed in gorgeous clothes was sitting.

Even though her skin has started to oxidize, her face shape still makes her an absolute beauty.

At that moment, cracks appeared on the woman's face and suddenly shattered, releasing countless moths from her body.

At the critical moment, Cheng Feng pulled the two women to hide against the wall.

"Quickly open!"

"It's that King Xian's Gu technique again. How afraid must this man be of being robbed from his tomb!"

Huo Ling patted her chest in shock; she had almost been overwhelmed by a swarm of moths, but luckily Cheng Feng reacted in time.

Chen Wenjin looked in the direction the moths had flown away and suddenly realized they had returned.

"Cheng Feng, hurry up and bleed them out! They're back!"

Cheng Feng didn't dare to delay. These moths were corpse moths that parasitized corpses, and ordinary people would die if they came into contact with them.

He pulled out the dagger from Chen Wenjin's waist and made another cut on his hand.

Then Cheng Feng waved his hand at the moth, and a string of blood beads flew straight towards the corpse moth.

Just as the three were about to reach them, the corpse moths suddenly plummeted from mid-air and were instantly wiped out.

"That was close! He almost fell on top of me!"

Huo Ling took a few steps back, moving away from the moth that had died at her feet.

"Alright, the road behind us is clear now, let's go."

After the woman's body was dismembered, the passage behind it was exposed.

One by one, the three bent down and crawled into the low passage, arriving at the true main tomb of King Xian.
