Tomb Raider【Filling My Heart with Unresolved Feelings】

Seeing that Brother didn't say anything, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang looked at each other, feeling a little nervous, fearing that Brother would suddenly attack.

Fatty Wang chuckled, trying to ease the embarrassment: "Don't be angry, little brother. I was just confused for a moment."

Wu Xie also nodded and agreed: "Yeah, brother, we are just joking."

Zhang Qiling glanced at them, said nothing, and turned to walk towards the camp. Wu Xie and Fatty Wang breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to follow.

Fatty Wang, who was walking behind, whispered to Wu Xie, "Tian Zhen, do you think that little brother won't bear grudges?"

Wu Xie frowned and thought for a while: "That shouldn't be the case. Brother is not such a stingy person."

But the two of them still felt a little unsure.

After returning to the camp, Bai Mumu and Aning had already finished washing up and walked out of the tent.

Seeing how cautious Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were, Bai Mumu asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Wu Xie smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer. Fatty Wang rolled his eyes and said, "It's nothing, fairy, we just played a little joke on the little brother."

At this time, Zhang Qiling sat quietly aside, seemingly taking a rest, but in fact he made Wu Xie and Fatty Wang feel an invisible pressure.

Fatty Wang came close to Wu Xie and whispered, "Tian Zhen, how about we go and apologize to Brother?"

Wu Xie nodded: "Alright, in case the little brother gets really angry."

The two came in front of Zhang Qiling, Wu Xie cleared his throat and said, "Brother, we were wrong just now. We shouldn't have pinched your face. Don't be angry."

Fatty Wang also quickly said, "Yes, little brother, I promise I will never be so impulsive again."

Zhang Qiling raised his head, glanced at them, and still said nothing.

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang became even more nervous and didn't know what to do.

Just when they were at a loss, Zhang Qiling suddenly reached out and gently pinched Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi on the face.

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were stunned, then realized that the young man had forgiven them.

Fatty Wang laughed out loud: "I told you, you're not such a stingy person."

Wu Xie also smiled. From then on, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang no longer dared to do anything excessive to Zhang Qiling, and their friendship became deeper through these episodes.

At this time, Pan Zi came over and saw this scene. He laughed and said, "You two guys even dare to mess with me."

Fatty Wang said unconvincedly: "I am doing this for everyone's safety."

Pan Zi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Come on, you're just itching for trouble."

Everyone burst into laughter again, and the atmosphere became relaxed and happy.

After taking a shower, everyone took a short break before embarking on a new journey. They walked on the rugged road for a long time, and everyone's face was a little tired, but their eyes were full of determination. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light, as if guiding them in the direction of progress.

As they walked, they suddenly spotted a vague outline on the side of the road, which looked like a huge cauldron from a distance. Everyone's curiosity was instantly aroused, and they all walked towards the direction of the cauldron.

Aning frowned slightly, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes. She said softly, "Everyone, be careful. I don't know what's wrong with this cauldron."

Wu Xie nodded and followed Bai Mumu closely.

Fatty Wang said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? I'm here with you."

Zhang Qiling walked at the front of the team with an expressionless face, like a silent mountain, giving people a sense of security.

As the distance got closer, the pattern on the tripod gradually became clearer. The pattern seemed like an ancient scroll, engraved with traces of time.

In the pattern, two huge snakes are intertwined, their bodies coiled into complex shapes. The snakes' scales gleam with a mysterious light, and each scale is carved so finely that you can almost feel its texture. The snakes' eyes are deep and strange, revealing an ancient and mysterious aura. Their bodies are covered with strange lines, which seem to contain some mysterious power, making people want to explore them in depth.

Wu Xie narrowed his eyes slightly and observed the pattern carefully, his eyes full of doubt. He said softly: "This pattern is so strange, I have never seen anything like it before."

Pan Zi also came over, looked at the pattern and said, "These two snakes don't look simple. Are they dangerous?"

Bai Mumu stood aside, his eyes flickering as he thought: "Is this a hint to us?"

Wu Xie couldn't help but ask, "What are they doing?"

Zhang Qiling had no expression on his face and coldly spat out two words: "Mating."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked, and Wu Xie's face turned red, and he stammered and couldn't utter a word.

Fatty Wang widened his eyes and exaggeratedly complained, "Mating? When this word comes out of the little brother's mouth, we feel that it instantly changes its meaning?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Wu Xie blushed and whispered, "From their size, it doesn't look like they are mating. It looks like a small snake and a python. But how can there be such a big snake?"

The young man responded calmly: "It's the mother snake."

When Fatty Wang heard this, he immediately started to yell, "What? Are there really snakes this big? The size doesn't match, it's really heavy."

Pan Zi smiled and said, "Fatty, you have a really bad mouth."

Fatty Wang chuckled and said, "I am speaking the truth, Fatty."

Aning looked at the pattern and said thoughtfully, "If this snake mother really exists, we might be in big trouble."

Wu Xie said worriedly: "Yeah, I don't know if this snake mother is still alive."

Bai Mumu said solemnly: "No matter what, we have to be extra careful."

However, just as everyone was about to leave, a dark shadow approached quietly.

The shadow was like a ghost, silently lurking behind everyone. Its body was tightly pressed against the ground, as if it had merged with the surrounding environment.

The shadow's eyes flickered as it stared at everyone's backpacks. While everyone was concentrating on the cauldron pattern, the shadow suddenly jumped up and rushed towards one of the backpacks at an extremely fast speed. Its movements were agile and decisive, and it grabbed the backpack's strap in an instant, then turned and ran.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change. By the time they reacted, the black shadow had already run some distance away.

Fatty Wang was the first to come to his senses. He yelled, "What the hell! How dare you steal my things!" Then he ran after the shadow. Others also came to their senses and followed closely.

The black shadow was running wildly in front, it was moving very fast, constantly shuttling between the woods and rocks.

Everyone chased after him, and Fatty Wang shouted as he ran, "Don't run! Give me my bag back!"

However, the shadow showed no intention of stopping, but ran even faster, nimbly avoiding obstacles on the road like a cunning fox.
