Chapter 462: Small pattern

The ancient tomb mechanism is ever-changing.

The stone door plummeted from above, and the atmosphere around instantly tensed, an invisible aura of danger enveloping those present.

Su Xiaochi glanced around and noticed that only two had followed them in.

"Well, it’s just the four of us now, keep up."

Fortunately, the signal booster Wen Nuan had given was quite effective; despite being split into two groups, they were still able to keep in touch.

"Be careful, something’s off."

As Tang Shu walked, she observed the mechanisms. Those branches, though they looked irregular, were coated with a layer of barely visible black, likely caused by some kind of drug.

Just to be safe, she took out a porcelain vase and poured out a Detoxification Pill for each person.

"Swallow this, and if you feel unwell, let me know."

"What’s this?"

The two men who had followed in looked at the small, dark pills without immediately swallowing them, hints of a refreshing medicinal fragrance lingering at their nostrils.

This stuff is traditional Chinese medicine!

Upon seeing the person across from them pop it into their mouth like candy, they urgently exclaimed.

"Team Leader Su!"

This thing is medicine, and you can’t just take it willy-nilly, especially when it’s traditional Chinese medicine!

In the minds of the two men, traditional Chinese medicine was something that required experience; the older it was, the more popular it was supposed to be, yet Tang Shu looked so young that they guessed she probably hadn’t even touched the threshold of Chinese medicine.

"Relax, Sister Tang’s medicine is usually hard to come by; you guys are even being choosy now."

On hearing this, the two hesitated, exchanged glances, and then tossed the pills into their mouths.

Since their own team leader said it was fine, they had nothing to hesitate about. Of course, it was definitely not because they trusted Tang Shu, but because of Su Xiaochi.

Tang Shu gave her a glance, "Team Leader Su?"

"Mmm-hmm, sounds impressive, doesn’t it?"

"It does have a certain ring to it."

"Right? Right? If you’re interested, you’re welcome to join!"

Having set her sights on Tang Shu a while ago, Su Xiaochi took the opportunity to recruit her, "Although the salary can’t compare to what you make as an actress, what we do serves the people, and it’s pretty cool to talk about."

Tang Shu was surprised, "Can it even be talked about?"

Even though she was from ancient times, she had come to understand quite a bit about this era during her time here. People like Wen Nuan were mostly unsung heroes, the kind whose deeds couldn’t be disclosed with a single word.

"..."

Su Xiaochi was momentarily embarrassed upon hearing this and heaved a resigned sigh after a pause.

"That’s the thing; once someone becomes smart, they really aren’t that easy to fool."

Tang Shu: "..."

I knew it.

The two male team members, originally on edge from their surroundings, felt a bit like they were overreacting after listening to the banter between the two.

They were being small-minded.

Team Leader Su truly lived up to her name, even chatting away in a situation like this; a marvel indeed.

But their conversation didn’t last long; another scream echoed ahead, bouncing off the walls for a long time. Everyone’s hearts tightened, and they hurried forward.

By the time the four caught up, the three Tomb Robbers on the ground were gasping for breath, with injuries on the abdomen, legs, and limbs, each wound oozing thick, dark blood.

"It’s snake poison."

Smelling the scent wafting in the air, Tang Shu instantly identified the poison without second-guessing.

She walked over and squatted down in front of one of them, lightly pressed a few points on his body, and immediately, the bleeding from his leg stopped, astonishing Su Xiaochi and the other two.

"Your technique... is it acupoint-pressing?"
