Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 40 What Yan Huai is Afraid Of

"If you want to catch up, wait until we go outside. It's time to go now." Wu Sansheng gestured with his chin toward the side room and took the lead in walking over.

The man with the black glasses followed closely behind, a slight smile playing on his lips, giving the two people behind him some space.

"Let's go!" Zhang Qiling unconsciously softened his tone. He raised his gaze slightly, but only caught a glimpse of Yan Huai's chin.

"Ok!"

After the group entered the side room, Wu Sansheng and Black Glasses took on the task of chiseling the coral tree.

After the coral tree was chiseled open, Yan Huai realized that there was actually a hole underneath it.

After Wu Sansheng jumped down...

What the hell is there not to understand! Wu Sansheng is treating himself like free labor again!

When Qiu Dekao asked for help, at least there was a verbal agreement. But Wu Sansheng is even worse; he can't even be bothered to make a promise!

"Did Wu Sansheng pay you when he contacted you?" Yan Huai raised his chin, quietly walked forward to Zhang Qiling's side, and leaned down slightly.

The warm breath that suddenly came from beside his ear made Zhang Qiling's hair stand on end, not from fear, but from tension. His eyes darted around for a moment, then he nodded: "One million for the first payment, and two million for the remaining balance."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huai's eyes widened in disbelief: "So many!?"

Yan Huai's gaze was vacant, lost in sorrow. It's no wonder he looked so mournful; his entire fortune was only 1.1 million. Before leaving Puyang Village, he spent over 100,000 helping Yin Lan and her son renovate their home, leaving them 600,000. He then spent a considerable amount on his own travels, leaving him with only 300,000. He had always thought he had a lot of money…

fart!

"What's so many?" Black Glasses' ears twitched slightly. He turned his head and saw Yan Huai's earth-shaking appearance. He grinned from ear to ear. What's wrong with this kid now?

Yan Huai swiftly lashed out with his knife, also glaring at Wu Sansheng, who was walking at the front. Wu Sansheng felt a slight chill on the back of his head, but when he turned around, he saw that the three people behind him seemed to be getting along quite well; nothing else had happened. It was truly baffling...

Yan Huai had already looked away when Wu Sansheng turned his head. In secret, a smug smile played on his lips. He would remember this debt!

Black Glasses, on the other hand, looked like he was waiting to see a good show. He had just pried the word "money" out of Zhang Qiling—sigh~ he understood everything about money!

Getting back to the main point, as Yan Huai walked along the tunnel, he discovered that the tunnel that Wu Sansheng and his group had dug was now sloping upwards and the space was getting smaller and smaller. He followed at the back with his back hunched over. Based on the distance, they should now be in the northeast direction of this underwater tomb and had not yet left the area of ​​the underwater tomb.

Yan Huai was a little puzzled. Wu Sansheng had gone through such a long and complicated process. Was there something else he needed ahead?

Before Yan Huai could figure it out, the group arrived at the foot of a movable stone slab.

Yan Huai and Zhang Qiling each huddled on one side of the tomb entrance, while Wu Sansheng and Black Glasses on the other side worked together to move the stone slab aside. Judging from the furnishings and decorations on it, it seemed to be another tomb chamber, and there was a faint sound of water coming from inside.

After everyone climbed up, Wu Sansheng put the stone slab back on, but left a gap at the corner, and no one knew what he was going to do with it.

Yan Huai glanced at it and then looked away. What really attracted him was the golden nanmu coffin in the center of the tomb and the murals carved on the tomb walls.

"Hey~ Xiao Huai, need a translator? It's only 100 yuan, no cheating!"

Seeing Yan Huai frowning and squatting beside the golden nanmu coffin, seemingly studying the ancient characters on it, Black Glasses immediately saw a business opportunity and shamelessly approached.

"I can read, don't block my way." Yan Huai ignored the man in black glasses, put a finger on his knee, and pushed him away.

Black Glasses pretended to stumble from the push, then stood up dramatically. He walked over to Zhang Qiling, who was glaring at him menacingly, and complained, "Frog! Dumb girl, look at him! He doesn't know how to respect his elders at all. What will you do if you marry him? I'm worried about you!"

Upon hearing this, not only Yan Huai was stunned, but even Zhang Qiling and Wu Sansheng were taken aback, however...

"Where is Zhang Qiling going again?" Yan Huai turned his head, a hint of displeasure unconsciously creeping into his eyes.

Zhang Qiling, Black Glasses, and Wu Sansheng: "???"

Isn't this rhetorical question a bit strange? The point he (Black Glasses) made was to get married!

Shouldn't...

The man in black glasses twitched his lips slightly, realizing something—was this kid born when Pangu created the world? How come he doesn't even know the meaning of marriage!

Zhang Qiling glanced sideways at the man in black glasses, his eyes filled with a cold killing intent. But when he turned to look at Yan Huai, the killing intent vanished. He lowered his eyes and said, "I'm not going anywhere."

“Oh…” Yan Huai couldn’t tell whether Zhang Qiling was lying or not, but just to be on the safe side, he stopped looking at the ancient characters on the coffin and instead stood up and walked to Zhang Qiling’s side.

Seeing this, Wu Sansheng raised an eyebrow, then turned around and stuffed bottle-like objects into his backpack from inside the mechanism box on the left.

After packing everything, Wu Sansheng checked the backpack's airtightness one last time before signaling Black Glasses to get to work: "Okay, Blind Man, go blow up the tunnel. We're getting ready to leave."

"Got it!"

Black Glasses first took out a diving mask and snorkel from his backpack and thoughtfully handed one to Wu Sansheng. As for Yan Huai, he didn't need to worry about him; Zhang Qiling had already given him one!

Once everything was ready, Yan Huai and the others walked to the north of the golden nanmu coffin. There was a waterway there, very similar to the one that Yan Huai and Wu Sansheng had been swept into earlier.

Black Glasses, carrying the explosives, walked to the stone slab they had come up from earlier. He gestured to the three men who were already in position, then lit the fuse and threw the explosives diagonally into the gap at the corner. Immediately afterward, he returned and ran back towards the waterway...

boom--

The loud explosion startled Yan Huai. He had been following Zhang Qiling down into the waterway, but now he didn't even dare to look back. He pushed forward, reached out with his left hand and grabbed Zhang Qiling's arm tightly. Then, like a cat with its tail between its legs, he slid out with incredible speed.

Wu Sansheng and Black Glasses watched as Zhang Qiling was practically dragged by Yan Huai into the depths of the waterway, marveling at the young man's stamina. "Could he pull a little longer?" they thought.

Zhang Qiling, who was being dragged along, gurgled and gurgled...
