Chapter 128 Archaeological Team and Tomb Raiders
At Cheng Feng's command, the group began searching for any possible secret passages.
There are coffins and dead bodies everywhere you look, making it particularly difficult to find anything.
Based on previous experiences, the secret passage of the She people is very likely located in one of the coffins.
Fortunately, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect are professionals at opening coffins, and while searching for secret passages, they can also scavenge some trinkets.
Meanwhile, the two sides were facing off in a canyon.
One side had five people, all of whom were men in their prime.
They were carrying muskets and Type 56 semi-automatic rifles.
The other side has a much more diverse group of people.
There were eight people in total, five men and three women, with the three women hiding in fear behind the men.
Two of the five men looked like students, their expressions revealing their guilt, but they still pretended to be tough on the surface.
Among the remaining three people was a middle-aged man who wore glasses and appeared calm.
He has the demeanor of a scholar.
What the other side feared were the remaining two men, who were carrying standard-issue pistols.
With his short haircut and sharp eyes, he exuded an undeniable military bearing.
"I advise you not to make the same mistake again. Leaving here immediately is what a wise person should do."
The middle-aged scholar adjusted his glasses, his tone firm and resolute, showing no sign of weakness.
Unfortunately, they were facing tomb raiders who were risking their lives.
"Don't try that with me. You only have two guns. I want to see who dies first when we start fighting."
As he spoke, the man raised the short-barreled shotgun in his hand and aimed it at the middle-aged man's head.
They can tell who is the most important person on the other side.
"Heh, we may have fewer guns, but we have plenty of bullets. Who among you can guarantee that you won't be the one who dies?"
The middle-aged scholar said unhurriedly.
The two sides were deadlocked again; neither wanted to give up, but there was no possibility of cooperation.
There is no basis for trust between officials and thieves here, especially since the officials are somewhat weaker.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Cheng Feng and Hei Xiazi were smoking together.
Then, coincidentally, the smoke started to drift in one direction.
The two looked at each other and then couldn't help but laugh.
"I told you smoking had its benefits! Look, we've found the exit!"
Black Bear pointed with his cigarette in his hand in the direction the smoke was drifting.
Cheng Feng took a deep drag on his cigarette, then exhaled a large amount of smoke in that direction.
The two followed the direction of the smoke and soon stopped in front of a large coffin in a corner.
"Everyone, come over here."
Cheng Feng shouted, and the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect quickly arrived at Cheng Feng's location.
Pointing to the coffin in front of him, Cheng Feng said:
"The exit is here, open it."
Two disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect stepped forward and worked together to open the large coffin.
Sure enough, there was a downward-sloping hole in the coffin.
Seeing this, everyone entered the passage one by one.
After passing through a narrow section of road, the road ahead began to widen.
At this moment, Cheng Feng suddenly raised his hand and called a halt to the group.
"Take your time, there are people ahead!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect drew their pistols and then followed Cheng Feng and Hei Xiazi forward, keeping their feet low.
Soon, the two groups of people facing off in the canyon came into Cheng Feng's view.
"Good heavens, the archaeological team is battling tomb raiders!"
Black Bear said gloatingly to Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng had no intention of joking; the current situation was somewhat difficult to handle.
Allowing these two sides to remain deadlocked would waste too much time.
After thinking it over, Cheng Feng decided to take control of the situation first before considering anything else.
"Attention everyone, take care of our competitors first, and make sure they don't have a chance to react."
Cheng Feng's main idea is to create a highly competitive environment where those competitors who fail are the best ones.
The members of the Unloading Ridge faction nodded resolutely in response; shooting from the shadows was also a required course for the Unloading Ridge.
They were practically outlaws.
Then Cheng Feng said to Hei Xiazi:
"Blind man, let's each take one of those two buzz cuts and shoot the guns out of their hands, okay?"
Hei Xiazi looked somewhat surprised behind his sunglasses.
He thought Cheng Feng would kill them all, but now it seems he has to hold back against the archaeological team.
But this only made it more interesting to him, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
He then took out the pistol that Cheng Feng had provided for him from his waist.
"I'll count to three, then we'll all get started. Everyone, be prepared!"
Then Cheng Feng counted down three times in a deep voice.
As soon as the last number was uttered, gunshots rang out.
ah ah ah...
The tomb raiders screamed as they drew their guns, then collapsed to the ground.
Two men with buzz cuts, clutching their pistols, staggered backward, their weapons instantly destroyed.
A few seconds later, the gunfire stopped, and Cheng Feng and his group emerged from the shadows amidst the echoes of gunfire.
"Everyone stay still, or you'll die!"
Under Cheng Feng's stern rebuke, everyone in the archaeological team fell silent.
The screams of the girls all stopped abruptly.
Upon closer inspection, Cheng Feng and the others' appearances were completely exposed to the archaeological team.
This made the middle-aged man's heart skip a beat, and his spirits sank to the bottom.
"Gentlemen, I promise I won't reveal anything about this place after I get out. Can you spare our lives?"
The middle-aged man tried his best to remain calm, but judging from his ashen face, he had probably already prepared for the worst.
Hei Xiazi stood aside with amusement, intending to see how Cheng Feng would deal with these people.
Anyone who believes this man is a fool. The best outcome is to kill them outright, otherwise, they'll be wanted nationwide.
"You might be able to fool a kindergarten kid with what you're saying, but don't embarrass yourself by saying it."
Cheng Feng walked up to the two men with buzz cuts who were glaring at him.
Then, with a sudden kick to each of them, they curled up and lost their ability to move.
"Tie them up."
Two disciples from the Unloading Ridge sect immediately stepped forward and easily tied the hands of the two men with buzz cuts behind their backs with rope.
Having completely lost these two guardians, the archaeological team was like a lamb exposed to the wolf's bite, utterly powerless to resist.
“You’re here for archaeological work, right? Perfect, we can team up.”
Cheng Feng lit a cigarette, deciding to leave the fate of these people to destiny.
If I survive the rest of the journey, I'll find a way to kidnap them and at least save my own life.
If one dies at the sacred tree in the Qinling Mountains, it can be considered a sacrifice for the Candle Dragon.
Letting them go is out of the question. Whether it's a cat or a mouse, the worst thing is to sit on the wrong side of the table.
Being soft-hearted for a moment could lead to irreparable regret.
"What are you all standing there for? Go and clear the way."
As soon as Cheng Feng finished speaking, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect stepped forward and forced the archaeological team to walk in front.
A female student, her face streaked with tears, looked at the middle-aged man.
"teacher……"
The man sighed and said:
"Let's go, at least we still have a chance to survive."
After their leader spoke, the others helped each other walk forward.
Just then, a ghostly green light suddenly appeared behind them.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, everyone stopped in their tracks.
