Chapter 20: The Terracotta Array It wasn't until I saw Tian Yuqing's reaction that I realized my sensitivity to danger was far too low. I was still wondering if this Tomb Raider had suffered severe injuries before dying here, but a little thought would tell you that couldn't be the case—there wasn't a single fatal wound on the body. I tightened the straps of my backpack and stood up alongside Tian Yuqing. He clearly had no interest in the Mummified Corpse on the ground anymore. "In ancient times,…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 21: Breaking the Deadlock Tian Yuqing couldn’t determine our exact location, but he kept casting divinations again and again to confirm the direction of the pit wall. We leaned against it to rest. Both teams had been wandering around the bottom of the pit for six hours straight, and the moment we sat down, exhaustion hit us like a wave. Withered roots of plants dangled from the pit walls, their tendrils poking out of the soil. The temperature was steadily dropping, and our jackets weren’t…

- Chapter 22: Falling into the Deep Pit The sand beneath the Terracotta Figures gave way completely, collapsing in a sudden landslide none of us had anticipated. So when we fell, the three of us were caught completely off guard. The cavity below was massive. Sand flooded into my nose, pushing me downward. My chin slammed into a rock, sending a sharp jolt of pain through my body. It felt like I hit the bottom almost instantly. I landed hard on my backside and sat there for a while, aching all over,…

- Chapter 10: A Mistake I thought to myself, I've always been a straightforward person, lived for so many years without offending anyone. So why have all these big shots suddenly appeared here, itching to mess with me? It's not like I wanted to encounter a ghostly wall. How was I supposed to know that when you walk, nothing happens, but when I walk, an extra path appears? Tian Yuqing finally shifted his gaze away from me. He pushed Tian Xiao slowly to the threshold and stopped. Seeing Tian Xiao's frail…

- Chapter 11: Three Sacks of Rice Back in the car, the chill that had seeped into my bones seemed to be whisked away by the warmth of the air conditioning. He Yu had been woken by our commotion, but he didn't seem grumpy at all. Instead, he was curiously staring at Lu A'yao, who had just gotten into the car. Tian Yuqing had mentioned bringing in some help, but it turned out he had only invited Lu A'yao. Once we were all in the car, the convoy turned around and got back on the highway. My emotions were…

- Chapter 12: Two Teams? This rhyme was never meant to teach anyone how to find dragon veins or explore grand tombs. Yet, many unskilled Tomb Raiders once believed it to be true. How could something so profound that some people spend their entire lives trying to understand be condensed into just a simple rhyme? The original purpose of this rhyme was to introduce the unique skills of each master among the Five Masters. It was meant to guide those who found themselves lost when determining the auspicious…

- Chapter 13: The Grand Archaeological Project I am someone who is rarely curious about anything, and following this team to this point without knowing much is already my limit. Tian Yuqing was very adamant; if I were to learn everything from him, I would have to stick with the team to the end. On this point, his stance was firm. But abandoning Fourth Brother and running off on my own was something I could never do. My mother was a very career-driven woman. As soon as she finished breastfeeding, she…

- Chapter 14: Destination Tian Yuqing opened the car door and tossed me a black backpack from Lao Gen's hands. "Pack the Jade Casket well. No matter where you go, you must take the casket with you. If you find the journey too boring, you can try to crack it to pass the time." I packed the Jade Casket, slung the backpack over my shoulder, and got out of the car. He Yu was waiting for me in front of the second vehicle, smiling as he approached. "Hey, I didn't peg you for a tough guy. How'd it go? Judging…
