Chapter 369 - Chapter 369 Chapter 365 Go in and Take a Look

Chapter 369: Chapter 365 Go in and Take a Look Chapter 369: Chapter 365 Go in and Take a Look Seeing this scene, Fang Xiaocao was stunned. “Which ancient period is this campsite from?”

Drilling Mouse laughed, “It’s been at least a decade!”

Taotie shook his head, “More than a decade!”

“In another month, it will be exactly eleven years.”

Fang Xiaocao listened to the conversation between Drilling Mouse and Taotie with a bewildered look on her face.

“Are you guys familiar with this campsite?”

Fang Xiaocao asked with curiosity.

“This campsite is the root cause of the Tomb Raider Sect’s downfall. Back then, Xinyan’s grandfather was deceived by the owner of this campsite, leading to the tomb exploration years ago that got Xinyan’s father killed and caused the downfall of the Tomb Raider Sect.”

Taotie said with a grim voice filled with indignation.

“How could this campsite still exist after a decade? Even if the people from the campsite died back then, after so many years, it should have been destroyed by wind, sand, and sun, or it should have been thoroughly ransacked by bandits by now, right?”

Fang Xiaocao asked, still puzzled.

“Heh!”

Taotie let out a cold laugh, “Because on the second day this campsite was set up here, it was engulfed by a sandstorm, completely buried. Only the campsite’s owner and his bodyguards managed to escape.”

“Otherwise, how would the old Sect Master have known about that tomb and been so tragically tricked?”

Even after so many years, Taotie still clenched his teeth with rage when he mentioned the incident, clearly having a fresh memory of the events.

Fang Xiaocao asked, “When you guys came in last time, did you not look for this campsite?”

Taotie spit out, “We did look, but it was buried too deeply. We didn’t find it. Who would have thought it would be right here, less than a hundred meters away from that tomb.”

Taotie’s words piqued Fang Xiaocao’s interest, making her eyes light up.

“Could Su Wanqing and the others have brought Little Luban into this campsite, or that tomb?”

Fang Xiaocao asked in a heavy tone.

Taotie nodded, “Possibly!”

“When the Tomb Raider Sect’s grave-robbing went awry years ago, the death of the Sect Master caused an uproar. Almost everyone in Jianghu knew about it, and the tomb was no secret. If Su Wanqing’s purpose for entering the desert wasn’t the same as ours–to dig into the Pawnshop’s vault–then it’s very likely she came here.”

Upon hearing Taotie’s words, Fang Xiaocao immediately decided to satisfy her curiosity, “Let’s go in and take a look!”

With Fang Xiaocao’s order, the three no longer hesitated. Drilling Mouse took the lead, Fang Xiaocao and Taotie followed behind. If there was any danger, they were ready to support Drilling Mouse at any time and Taotie was prepared to take Fang Xiaocao and flee.

As they approached the abandoned campsite of ten years, Fang Xiaocao suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

“Taotie, the Old Zongzi that nearly wiped out your entire team back then isn’t going to show up, right?”

Fang Xiaocao asked quietly.

Only a hundred meters away, it wouldn’t be odd for that sticky rice dumpling to still be alive and come here.

Taotie shook his head, “I don’t know!”

“Back then, there were two sticky rice dumplings. I killed one, and the other dragged Xinyan’s father into the tomb. We were all injured and didn’t dare to chase.”

Hearing Taotie’s response, Fang Xiaocao grimaced, becoming extra cautious.

She kept glancing around warily, afraid a sticky rice dumpling would suddenly jump out from some corner.

“Princess Your Highness, there’s a smell of blood!”

At this moment, Drilling Mouse, who was walking ahead, turned back and shouted, pulling the double shovels from his back.

Clang–

Taotie drew the long saber from his back.

Taotie took a step to the side,

shielding Fang Xiaocao with his body.

Fang Xiaocao also took out several Hidden Weapons.

“Let’s go take a look!”

Fang Xiaocao signaled Drilling Mouse with hand gestures.

Drilling Mouse nodded, crouching low and quickly making his way toward the campsite.

Taotie and Fang Xiaocao stood still, waiting for Drilling Mouse to scout ahead.

At this moment, with the enemy unseen and us out in the open, it was better for one to risk danger than for two.

The entire campsite was eerily quiet. As they sniffed the smell of blood in the air, Drilling Mouse felt inexplicably tense.

Drilling Mouse did a tactical roll, rolling behind a vehicle and quietly peeking out to observe the campsite.

Suddenly!

Gurgle–

A human head rolled off from the top of the vehicle, landing right into Drilling Mouse’s arms.

“`

“F*ck!”

Drilling Mouse was startled.

He picked up the human head and threw it out.

Drip drip drip–

The sound of dripping water came from overhead.

Drilling Mouse paused, instinctively looking up.

That glance was disastrous!

Drilling Mouse’s hair stood on end in an instant.

He swung his shovel towards the roof with all his might.

Clang–

Sparks flew everywhere!

The shovel struck the roof solidly.

A dark shadow flashed by.

It took three steps and darted into a tent.

Huff puff huff puff–

Drilling Mouse was gasping for breath.

His expression showed he was seriously rattled.

That fleeting glimpse of a pitch-black, hairy face smeared with blood truly gave Drilling Mouse a fright.

If that had been all, it wouldn’t have been enough to unnerve Drilling Mouse to such an extent. The key issue was that at the creature’s feet lay a headless corpse, with a piece of dark red flesh in its mouth.

This scene was disturbing enough in broad daylight; had it been at night, it would have been terrifying enough to kill.

Drilling Mouse swallowed hard.

He looked nervously towards the tent.

He could acutely feel that a pair of eyes inside the tent were hiding in the darkness, quietly observing him.

This was way too creepy!

It had only been a brief glimpse.

But Drilling Mouse had seen clearly.

The flesh-eating creature seemed to be a large monkey covered in black fur,

or a Wild Man would be more apt.

Moreover, it moved with incredible agility.

Its speed was not inferior to that of a First-Class Expert.

Drilling Mouse did not believe he could defeat this eerie thing and did not dare to linger. He immediately ran outside, but before leaving, Drilling Mouse looked back at the campsite and to his shock, he found six or seven bodies scattered haphazardly behind the vehicle he had just been hiding.

Each death was extremely gruesome.

Their bodies were covered in bite marks.

“Damn it, this thing eats people!”

Drilling Mouse cursed under his breath and swiftly made his escape.

Seeing Drilling Mouse running out of the campsite in a panic, Fang Xiaocao and Taotie looked at each other in astonishment, both seeing the surprise in the other’s eyes.

Drilling Mouse was a First-Class Expert; whatever had scared him into such a state was baffling.

As Fang Xiaocao and Taotie stayed on guard, Drilling Mouse approached them, and what he said left them dumbfounded.

“What?”

“There’s a Wild Man in the camp?”

“And it eats people?”

Fang Xiaocao exclaimed.

Drilling Mouse nodded repeatedly.

Fang Xiaocao and Taotie exchanged a glance.

Fang Xiaocao asked tentatively, “Are you sure it’s a Wild Man, not a sticky rice dumpling?”

Drilling Mouse took a big gulp of water and shook his head vigorously: “It’s not a sticky rice dumpling; I’ve been tomb raiding all year round, I’d recognize a sticky rice dumpling if I saw one. That thing was either a big monkey or a Wild Man.”

“And it’s incredibly fast, with the reaction speed of a First-Class Expert. It dodged when I swung at it, and there are several fresh corpses in the camp, chewed on by that monkey.”

Fang Xiaocao turned to Taotie, seeking confirmation with her eyes if they had encountered anything as bizarre as the thing Drilling Mouse described during their last tomb raid.

Taotie shook his head, then picked up his knife and strode towards the campsite…
