Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 112 The Tradition of the Unloading Ridge

"I think the best way to know the answer to this question is through practice. Anything is possible before the child is born."

Cheng Feng didn't voice his guess, since it was just a guess after all.

Logically speaking, everyone has some kind of Chinese bloodline, so there shouldn't be any reproductive isolation.

"That's true. Let's go and see if there are any other changes!"

With that, Chen Wenjin stepped away from Cheng Feng's arm and led the way down the slope.

Cheng Feng followed behind Chen Wenjin, constantly keeping an eye on the surroundings, as there might be more than one worm tunnel here.

If we live too far apart, I'm afraid the future mother of my child might be in danger.

Soon the two arrived at the location of the arrow again. Just as Chen Wenjin was about to continue down, Cheng Feng called out to her.

"Wait a minute."

Chen Wenjin stopped and turned to look at Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng continued:

"I think this mark might have another purpose. Let's look around here; we might find something."

The two then carefully examined the steps.

Cheng Feng made a discovery very quickly.

Right below the arrow mark on the steps, there is a button pattern that is exactly the same as before.

"I understand. Both of these mechanisms must be pressed to activate the exit."

If you press only one, it's a dead end.

If it were anyone else, suddenly encountering a large number of corpse beetles in this constantly looping passage...

That scene would probably be quite ugly.

"Luckily you have a special physique, otherwise there would be nowhere to run around in this place."

Chen Wenjin thought that if it were him, he would truly be trapped with nowhere to turn.

After hearing this, Cheng Feng thought he should prepare some backup plans for Chen Wenjin.

Previously, there was no plan to let her go tomb raiding, and she usually lived with him so she wouldn't encounter any danger.

It seems that life is unpredictable; who knows what might happen next?

"I'm about to press the mechanism, hold on tight, I don't even know what kind of mechanism it is!"

Chen Wenjin agreed and put her arm around Cheng Feng's arm.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Feng immediately pressed the button, and just like before, the same mechanism amplified the sound.

The two of them then heard the sound of chains sliding.

The sound disappeared after a few seconds, but nothing changed here.

"It seems the exit is elsewhere. Let's keep going!"

Then Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin continued walking down the steps.

Soon, the two saw a passage in the wall ahead, just big enough for a person to climb in.

The passage is only a little over a meter long and wide, about the same size as a ventilation duct, but it's big enough for a normal adult to pass through.

"I'll stay behind so I can respond promptly if anything happens."

This passage is too narrow. If Cheng Feng can't turn around in front, he'll still have a chance to deal with it from behind.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenjin was the first to climb into the passage, followed closely by Cheng Feng.

"There are traces of someone climbing here. Once we get out, we shouldn't be far from them."

Chen Wenjin's voice rang out in the passageway.

"Hmm, once I find them, I'll definitely go check out the main tomb. I'm really curious about the identity of the tomb's occupant!"

The appearance of these corpse beetles made Cheng Feng realize that the owner of this tomb must be related to the Queen Mother of the West or Wang Zanghai.

Its people may have obtained intelligence about this place from elsewhere, which is why they sent out a large number of people.

After crawling several dozen meters through the passage, Chen Wenjin, who was ahead, spoke up:

There's an exit ahead.

"Load your pistol and be careful."

After hearing this, Chen Wenjin drew his pistol, loaded it, and continued forward.

The two soon arrived at the exit. Chen Wenjin leaned out to look around, then nimbly climbed out of the hole.

Only then did Cheng Feng see the situation clearly.

Right in front of the cave entrance was a two-meter-high wall made of gold.

After Cheng Feng came out, he went to Chen Wenjin's side and said:

"It seems this should be a side chamber for burial. The tomb owner's treasures were placed here, which means the main burial chamber is not far away."

Chen Wenjin nodded, then used his flashlight to illuminate a corner of the tomb chamber and said:

"Look over there, there must have been some treasures there before, but they've already been taken away."

Just as she was speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from all around.

The sound of explosives detonating was very obvious, causing countless specks of dust to fall from the tomb.

"Pah... It seems you were right. Such brutal methods truly befit the title of 'Unloading Ridge Warrior'!"

Brushing the dust off his head, Chen Wenjin couldn't help but say.

Cheng Feng remained noncommittal. The tomb raiders of the Unloading Ridge were known for their simple and brutal methods when descending into tombs, cutting through mountains and building bridges over rivers.

If the Xieling sect ever starts lighting candles in the southeast corner of the tomb, it will create an off-putting atmosphere.

Before leaving, Cheng Feng activated his Ghost Eye to scan the tomb chamber clean, then said:

"Let's go see what those brats are frying?"

Cheng Feng pulled Chen Wenjin into the tomb passage on the side.

The two walked along the tomb passage with its exquisite patterns on both sides.

Soon, a figure appeared at a corner.

"who?"

Someone heard footsteps behind them and asked in a deep voice.

"it's me!"

As they were talking, Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin came into view.

"Always in charge!"

Han Qing, who was leading the group, exclaimed in surprise, and then ran over with more than a dozen young men behind him.

After stopping in front of Cheng Feng, Han Qing first bowed to Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin, and then asked:

"Chief, Madam, what brings you here?"

Following the four elite members of the Unloading Ridge faction, a dozen or so newly joined young people cautiously sized up Cheng Feng.

Chen Wenjin and the others were very familiar with him, but Cheng Feng and the others had not met him many times, so they were all very curious.

Cheng Feng glanced at Chen Wenjin, gesturing for her to speak.

Chen Wenjin didn't refuse, explaining, "Our brothers who stayed up there were ambushed."

Only Xiao Wu escaped and came back to give us news.

You were all worried something would happen to the head, so I came with you to meet up.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed. They hadn't expected that after killing a group of people, there would still be a loose end.

Fortunately, Han Qing was cautious and specially left an elderly person upstairs to lead the team.

Otherwise, when they finish their work and leave, there might be big problems.

"Please forgive us, Chief, we didn't handle things well and even troubled you and your wife!"

"This is not your fault. Those people have a lot of power behind them, it's normal that you can't handle it."

Cheng Feng did not blame these loyal subordinates; his power was such that even the Nine Gates had to submit to him.

Not to mention their newly established Xieling.

"Alright, now's not the time for this. I heard you guys blowing things up earlier, did you discover something?"

Chen Wenjin also spoke up to smooth things over, which relieved the nervous newcomers.

Han Qing quickly replied after hearing this:

"Reporting to Madam, we have discovered a tomb chamber with a dragon-severing stone. It should belong to an important person."

"Let's go, let's go take a look!"

As he spoke, Cheng Feng lifted his foot and walked towards the corner of the tomb passage. The group split into two lines to make way for Cheng Feng.

Then, they escorted Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin towards the tomb chamber protected by the Dragon-Slaying Stone.
