Tomb Raider【Filling My Heart with Unresolved Feelings】

Wu Xie felt ashamed to face anyone. He slumped to the ground like a deflated ball, covering his face with his hands, muttering, "It's over, it's over. My reputation is ruined."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw Wu Xie's expression. Fatty Wang laughed the loudest, saying, "Tian Zhen, you are so funny. It's just taking off clothes. We are all grown men. What are we afraid of?"

When Wu Xie heard this, he raised his head and glared at Fatty Wang fiercely: "You still say it's all your fault, how can I face people in the future after this!"

The young man stood silently by, without much expression on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of helpless smile.

Pan Zi patted Wu Xie on the shoulder and said, "Master San, we are just in case. Don't take it seriously."

Wu Xie sighed, stood up, and straightened his clothes: "Alright, alright, forget it this time, but if it happens again, I won't let you go."

At this time, Bai Mumu broke free from Aning's hand, ran back, and said with a smile: "Wu Xie, don't be angry, everyone is doing this for your own good."

Wu Xie rolled his eyes at her and said, "Mu Mu, why are you joining them in making trouble?"

Everyone calmed down and continued their adventure. Wu Xie walked in the middle of the team, and from time to time he would look back and glare at Fatty Wang and the others, while Fatty Wang looked nonchalant and continued to joke with everyone.

--------------

Who would have thought that hidden on the cliffs beneath this vast desert is such an amazingly lush tropical rainforest.

As soon as I stepped into the rain forest, the damp and stuffy air suddenly hit me, as if I was covered tightly by a heavy wet cloth.

The air was filled with a strong smell of humus, mixed with some unnamed floral and fruity scents, which made people feel fresh and curious, yet vaguely uncomfortable.

Wu Xie couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought that there is such a large rain forest hidden in this desert. It is really mysterious. I don't know how many unknown dangers are hidden in this place."

Pan Zi quickly responded, "Young Master San, we have to be more careful and make sure we don't get tricked."

Ah Ning lowered her voice and said, "Everyone stay alert and don't fall behind."

Looking up, the tall trees reach straight into the sky, with trunks so thick that it takes several people holding hands to hug them. The lush branches and leaves intertwine with each other, forming a green dome that stretches as far as the eye can see. Only a few tiny rays of sunlight penetrate the gaps between the leaves with difficulty, casting scattered spots of light. The barks of most of these trees are very rough, covered with mosses and parasitic plants, as if silently telling the length and vicissitudes of life.

Fatty Wang was panting heavily, muttering, "Oh my god, I've just been through a lot, and now I have to toss around in this forest again. This is really killing me!"

Bai Mumu hurriedly advised: "Fat brother, please bear with it for a while. This place doesn't look safe. Let's find a safer place later and have a good rest."

Wu Xie glanced at Fatty Wang and said, "Fatty, we both suffered the same before, and I didn't complain, but you started complaining first."

When Fatty Wang heard this, he was not happy, and shouted back, "Tian Zhen, can you compare with me? My physique is very delicate!"

Wu Xie curled his lips and said, "Okay, okay, you're the only one who's always making trouble. Then go ahead and keep yelling and see what you can yell out."

Fatty Wang snorted, "Humph, this is just me expressing my true feelings."

Everyone could only shake their heads helplessly.

Under those tall trees are clusters of shrubs and low herbs. The shrubs have all kinds of shapes, some with branches as thin as willow branches, and some with sharp thorns that make people dare not approach easily. And those herbs grow desperately in this limited space, some with broad leaves, and some with stems as thin as threads, all struggling to survive in the dark corners.

The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves and humus. When you stepped on it, you would sink in with a "puff". Under the fallen leaves were dense and tangled roots, like a huge underground net. Occasionally, you could see some winding vines hanging from the branches, like a green waterfall. Some were even as thick as a human arm, swaying gently in the wind.

Pan Zi raised his voice and reminded, "Everyone, be careful with your steps and don't trip."

The sounds in the rain forest are also very rich. Birds are singing happily on the branches, their voices are clear and beautiful, just like playing a natural symphony. In the bushes, insects chirp from time to time, some are short, some are long, interweaving into a lively movement. In addition, there are roars of unknown animals coming from afar, which make people feel a little awed.

As we walked, we saw a winding stream in front of us. The water was so clear that we could see the sand and rocks at the bottom of the water and the small fish swimming around. There were some aquatic plants growing by the stream, and the leaves swayed gently under the impact of the water flow. The water vapor in the air condensed into a light mist above the stream, making the whole scene beautiful like a dream.

Fatty Wang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey, this water looks really nice, how about we stop and take a rest?"

The young man looked around and agreed after finding out there was no danger, and everyone began to rest.

Fatty Wang sat down on the ground, threw his backpack aside, and panted heavily: "Oh, finally I can take a break, my legs are almost broken."

Wu Xie found a clean rock to sit on, took a sip of water and said, "You only know how to complain about being tired, and don't know how to save your energy."

Bai Mumu smiled and said, "Everyone is tired, let's take a good rest."

Pan Zi stood aside, observing the surroundings, while Aning took out a map and studied the next route.

The young man sat by the stream, his eyes still alert.
