Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

After hearing Zhang Qiling's explanation, Cheng Ji suddenly understood.

Now that the difficult problem has been solved, Cheng Ji's tense nerves finally relaxed a lot.

"Brother..." Cheng Ji smiled and turned around, wanting to take this opportunity to say something more to Zhang Qiling, but he only saw Zhang Qiling's back as he turned and walked away.

The boy swallowed back the words he had just spoken and lowered his head. His long eyelashes hid the loneliness in his eyes.

Zhang Qiling actually knew that the boy had gone back on his word five times all for him, but in his opinion, the boy was the one who needed protection. After all, he was a dozen years older than the boy.

From the time his Zhang family took over this mess until now, in his current memories, the young man was the only one who treated him well regardless of gains and losses and consequences. In fact, the longer they got along, the more frightened he became. The young man even understood him better than he himself.

I would give him boiled chicken when he eats.

I would also carry a lot of imported candies in my pocket and give him one from time to time. The candies were also very sweet.

You will no longer be surprised by some of his habits.

He is quite afraid of trouble. If he meets other people, he won't care and will just leave.

It was this young man who made him give in again and again.

The boy knew clearly that doing so would break his promise, but he still did it without hesitation.

Zhang Qiling knew that if he had not been there, the young man would not even look at these three people, and he could have completely ignored their lives.

But he still cared, because the boy knew that Zhang Qiling would definitely care, and knew that he would save everyone who didn't want to die, so the boy chose to save them for him.

He has a family mission to complete, and what he has to do is very dangerous. If he doesn't make up his mind to keep some distance from the boy, the boy will do more dangerous things for him, so he can no longer let the boy continue to follow him.

Once Zhang Qiling makes up his mind, it is difficult for others to change it.

You advised him, but he didn't listen.

If you try to persuade him again, he will get tired of it and strangle you until you pass out.

Cheng Ji suppressed the negative emotions in his eyes, caught up with him in a few steps, stood a few steps away from Zhang Qiling, and carefully looked at the sarcophagus in front of him.

Compared with the mythical beasts guarding the four directions just now, the sarcophagus looked a little rough, with no finely carved patterns and no gems inlaid. The entire sarcophagus had no unnecessary elaboration, only a line of words engraved in small seal script, which seemed to vaguely record a time.

Cheng Ji didn't quite understand, so he turned to look at Zhang Qiling, but said nothing, waiting quietly for Zhang Qiling to speak.

Zhang Qiling also saw the small words and whispered to Cheng Ji to interpret them: "It says the opening time. According to our current calendar, it was 1776. However, due to some factors, the tomb keeper left by King Lu Shang to help him open the tomb was unable to open it within the stipulated time."

"What will happen if it is not opened on time?" Cheng Ji asked.

"I don't know. Just open it and you'll know."

As he spoke, Zhang Qiling placed his right index finger and ring finger on the lid of the sarcophagus. With a sudden force, the lid flew up under the brute force and fell heavily to the ground beside him, breaking into pieces.

This move was enough to let Cheng Ji see that Zhang Qiling was holding back his anger.

The young man moved half a step to the side without leaving any trace.

My goodness, with this kind of force, he will be skinned alive if he doesn’t die.

When the dust in the coffin settled, revealing the entire interior of the coffin, the two of them flew back as fast as they could.

A low roar came from the sarcophagus and echoed throughout the tomb.

Then they saw a corpse as dry, stiff and fragile as tree bark slowly standing up from the sarcophagus.

Cheng Ji frowned, "There is no soul in this corpse. His soul has long been eaten by the soul-eating ghost. How did it come back to life?"

As he spoke, the young man wanted to grab the Xuan-Yuan Sword and rush forward, but he was pulled back by Zhang Qiling just after taking half a step.

"Stay still, don't move."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qiling threw the boy next to Lin Yan and Li Weizhou.

"Keep an eye on him." Zhang Qiling ordered in a cold voice.

Seeing Lin Yan nod, Zhang Qiling drew out the ancient sword on his back and faced the bloody corpse running towards him.

Zhang Qiling held the blood corpse's claws towards him with his left hand, and chopped the arm he had cut with the knife in his right hand.

But even though Zhang Qiling was very powerful, he only left a shallow mark on the blood corpse's arm.

"Roar--"

It was this attack that angered the bloody corpse in front of him, and it opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite the man in front of him.

Zhang Qiling jumped up and stepped on the blood corpse's shoulder, using the force to flip sideways and landed steadily.

But the agility of the blood corpse in front of them was beyond their expectations. As soon as Zhang Qiling landed, the blood corpse turned around and pounced on him.

The man and the corpse started fighting, with muffled sounds and punches hitting flesh.

Zhang Qiling narrowly avoided the blood corpse's attacks several times. Cheng Ji just watched from the side, his heart in his throat unable to let go.

Suddenly, Zhang Qiling was not careful and exposed his back to the opponent, and the blood corpse raised its sharp claws and slammed down!

not good!

———The chaotic golden drums!

When Fenghou Qimen was used, a fishy and sweet taste surged in Cheng Ji's throat, which he quickly swallowed back.

At the critical moment, he had no time to think about anything else. He flew up and pulled Zhang Qiling away from his original position.

The blood corpse's claws also smashed down heavily at the place where Zhang Qiling was just now.

A crack was actually created on the ground.

Zhang Qiling frowned to express his dissatisfaction with the young man for once again ignoring his words. Before he could say anything, the blood corpse's fist smashed towards the two of them.

Both of them dodged by rolling backwards.

Cheng Ji lowered his head, quietly wiped the blood from his mouth in the blind spot of Zhang Qiling's vision, and chuckled as he discussed with Zhang Qiling: "Brother, you can scold me or ignore me after this, but let's deal with the one in front first, okay?"

Zhang Qiling pursed his lips and did not respond to Cheng Ji's words. He clenched the hilt of the knife, stood up and looked at the bloody corpse standing between the two of them.

One held a sword, the other held a knife, and they both attacked the bloody corpse, stimulating its blood and revealing its tattoos!

Under the combined attack of the two, the blood corpse's head was chopped off by Zhang Qiling within a few rounds.

Sure enough, a strange-looking deep red flying insect slowly crawled out from the blood corpse's head.

It’s the Corpse-Eating King!

Cheng Ji didn't even think about it, his hands reacted first, and the Xuanyuan Sword flew out, beheading the Corpse-Eating King who had just woken up and had no time to react.

Seeing this, Zhang Qiling flew over and grabbed the meteorite jade embedded in the sarcophagus, then pulled open the ring of the secret passage in the middle of the sarcophagus, and shouted to the few people who were still stunned behind him: "Hurry up, or the corpse-eating swarm will come in and it will be too late."

Several people turned their heads to look behind them, and saw a swarm of corpse-bugs swarming in from the crack in the door. Wu Shuqi's body on the ground was instantly eaten up by the corpse-bugs.

"What are you standing there for? Run!" Cheng Ji grabbed the two of them and ran towards the sarcophagus.

[I'd like to specifically explain this here. I've mentioned this in my previous comments, and I'd like to add to it.

1. I will try my best to restore the characters and timeline of the original work, but there are some places that I cannot confirm even after reading the original work many times.

2. Regarding the problem of Zhang Qishan's character being a little broken when he first appeared, you can understand that Cheng Ji's dress and appearance show that he is not from an ordinary family, and Zhang Qishan saw him and wanted to be polite to him to find a backer for his future career, or you can understand that he was attracted by the boy's beauty and thought that the boy was too stunning, so he saved him (no, it was mainly because I wrote the beginning casually at that time, and didn't think too much about it. It has been modified now, and a small adjustment has been made, which does not affect the direction of the plot)

3. Don't take the geographical location and legends of some original ancient tombs seriously! I didn't blacken any region. I just made it up based on some legends and unofficial history or the contents of books like Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio!

4. Finally, I didn’t intend to collect your brains, but in view of the huge controversy over some people and events in the book, I have specially set up a brain storage area here, and you can deposit your brains as needed. 】
