Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 300 Blood-sucking Insects

The group simply watched Cheng Feng's actions silently, with Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling remaining silent.

After Cheng Feng had the woman keep her head down, he raised his hand and wiped his lips with his index finger.

After wetting his hand with saliva, he unabashedly slipped his hand under the woman's clothes.

Huo Ling rolled her eyes and pouted, feeling a pang of jealousy, but didn't say anything.

Cheng Feng's hand traveled up the woman's spine to her neck.

The woman vomited a bloody mucus, and then countless tiny, transparent snakes crawled out of her mouth.

Seeing this, Black Bear drew his knife and chopped the snake into mincemeat in a few strokes.

"Cough cough cough..."

Seeing that the woman had woken up, Cheng Feng put her back on the ground.

"You're lucky. If you hadn't run into us, you would have been sucked dry by these little snakes sooner or later."

Huo Ling, annoyed, pulled the woman's clothes down, covering a patch of white skin around her waist.

After using her hands to support herself and lift her head, the woman glanced at everyone before finally fixing her gaze on Cheng Feng.

"Mr. Cheng, I didn't expect to meet you under these circumstances, cough cough cough..."

The group's gazes shifted slightly. Chen Wenjin noticed that her supporting arm was trembling, so she offered a hand to help her sit up straight.

"You are Wang Xiaoxi's older sister."

"Yes, Mr. Cheng, my name is Wang Xiaoyan, and I am in charge of the computing department at the Wang family."

Wang Xiaoyan leaned weakly against the wall, but her gaze toward Cheng Feng was exceptionally bright.

Upon hearing Wang Xiaoyan's words, both Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi frowned.

After so many years of investigation, the Xie and Wu families have actually investigated almost all the forces that coveted immortality.

For example, there's the official representative, Jude Kao from abroad, and finally, the mysterious Wang family.

The two people who were closely related to the Nine Gates naturally knew some information about this family.

"Given your status in the Wang family, it must have taken a lot of effort to come to such a dangerous place."

Upon hearing Cheng Feng's question, Wang Xiaoyan began to recount how she participated in the operation and what she experienced along the way.

It turned out that after learning of Cheng Feng's actions, the Wang family decided to send someone to contact him again.

They also intend to use the secret of immortality as a token of their sincerity.

Originally, the high-ranking officer they were going to send was in charge of the military department, but after using the computing system, Wang Xiaoyan came up with a method with a higher success rate.

That means if she, as the head of the computing department, goes along, the success rate can be increased from 30% to 60%.

After a meeting, the Wang family's senior management finally approved the plan, with Wang Xiaoyan making the final decision.

"That night, for some reason, we were attacked by a large number of venomous snakes. At first, we were able to hold on."

But then a giant python, over twenty meters long, appeared; bullets couldn't even break its scales.

Finally, the team's defenses were breached. I slipped and fell, losing consciousness, while trying to avoid a poisonous snake. When I woke up, I found myself in a tomb.

After learning what had happened from Wang Xiaoyan, Cheng Feng nodded and said, "Alright, calm down first, and come with us later."

To take care of the newly arrived wounded soldier, the group sat down against the wall nearby.

"Boss, the group that came looking for you is quite impressive. They managed to get ahead of us even after being surrounded by a swarm of snakes."

Based on Wang Xiaoyan's description, Huo Ling guessed that her teammates had brought her out of the snake swarm while she was unconscious.

"Actually, it should have been the pheasant neck that brought her in. That tomb chamber is not far from the snake's nest. Putting Wang Xiaoyan there was also to allow the young snake to grow better."

The pheasant-necked snake is a very united species of snake, and like humans, they meticulously prepare a good environment for their offspring to grow.

It's likely that not only Wang Xiaoyan, but other members of her team are also still alive, though they've become breeding grounds for baby snakes.

After a short rest, Wang Xiaoyan, supported by Huo Ling, continued her journey.

Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi walked in front, Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin brought up the rear, and Huo Ling helped Wang Xiaoyan walk in the middle of the group.

First, they found Wang Xiaoyan's water storage room, and then walked along a downward passage for a long time.

The passage became narrower and the humidity increased during this time.

When they finally reached the end of the passage, they were blocked by a mechanical door.

Cheng Feng opened his Boundless Demon Eyes, intending to forcefully open the door.

At this moment, Zhang Qiling walked to Cheng Feng's side and said, "Leave it to me!"

After speaking, under everyone's gaze, Zhang Qiling raised his right hand and held up his index and middle fingers, which were longer than those of an average person.

He then stabbed into the gap next to the mechanism door.

Zhang Qiling flicked his wrist, and the mechanism door opened with a click.

"I'd heard that Zhang the Mute was skilled at probing holes with two fingers, but this is the first time I've seen it in person."

Hei Xiazi looked at Zhang Qiling's fingers through his eyes behind his sunglasses.

"Don't be envious. Your fingers can only pick your nose. If you want to reach Zhang Qiling's level, you'll have to start over."

The "Faqiu Finger" technique is a skill for children, requiring them to start training those two fingers before their bodies have fully developed.

Moreover, each step must be done with a secret medicine, otherwise you will only ruin your fingers in the end.

Shrugging, Hei Xiazi followed Zhang Qiling into the mechanism door.

Upon entering the mechanism, the group discovered that it was a normal-sized tomb chamber.

There was only one coffin covered with red seaweed.

Below the coffin is a pool of water; to get across, you have to wade through it.

"Don't rush over there. The red threads on that coffin are all worms, and even the water is full of them."

Cheng Feng raised his hand to stop Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi from going into the water.

Upon hearing Cheng Feng's words, Hei Xiazi squatted down and stirred the water with his short knife.

When it was lifted up, the scabbard was indeed wrapped with red silk threads that resembled seaweed, just like those on the coffin.

"It really is an insect."

Perhaps because someone had pulled it out of the water, the insect began to wriggle and protest.

Except for its color, this worm is almost identical to a horsehair worm, except that it is much longer than a regular horsehair worm.

"These are blood-sucking worms, and they pose little threat as long as you handle them carefully."

After saying that, Cheng Feng rudely spat into the water.

The moment the saliva mixes with the water, a large number of bloodsucking worms visibly float to the surface of the water.

The bloodsucking worms covering the coffin seemed to be startled and awoke from their slumber.

Then, as if they had seen a ghost, they began to flee backwards.

Supported by Huo Ling, Wang Xiaoyan's eyes flashed with a sharp light upon seeing this scene, which made her even more determined in her decision.

"Zhang the mute, aren't you envious? Your saliva is more useful than your blood."

Hei Xiazi chuckled and teased Zhang Qiling.

But Zhang Qiling was clearly immune to this level of teasing, and his expression did not change at all.

Just as the bloodsucking worms had almost all fled, the mechanism was triggered due to a change in the weight above the coffin.
