Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

Elder Xu: "..."

The young man in front of him had a crooked smile and his amber eyes were shining in the sun. He put his right hand on his thigh and put it on his chin, leaning forward, his whole body lazily.

Mr. Xu looked at the young man like this, his eyes full of sinisterness.

He knew that Zhang Qiling had special blood, and Lu Teng's reaction just now was still vivid in his mind. Mr. Xu has been studying immortality for most of his life. He knows that there are a very small number of people in the world who have special bloodlines and thus can live longer.

That's why he was curious and asked Tan Yuchen, who seemed to be the more innocent among the three, but he didn't expect to be so wary.

Mr. Xu did not doubt what Tan Yuchen said. If the other two people really took action, they would not ignore it. It would be impossible to rely on those mercenaries alone.

In the end, he still cherished his life and gave up the idea for the time being, thinking of finding another opportunity later: "Humph, then Mr. Tan should also pay attention to safety along the way."

Qin Yuchen gestured OK with his left hand.

When Mr. Xu returned without success, Qin Yuchen sat on the stone and said in a good mood to go slowly when Mr. Xu left.

Heixiazi and Zhang Qiling were not far away, and their hearing was very sensitive. Tan Yuchen and Mr. Xu did not speak at a low volume, so they listened to everything.

The blind man bent down and picked up a few small stones and threw them into the river one by one:

"The little boss is quite honest."

Zhang Qiling moved his eyes to the lake, looked at the splashing water, and hummed softly.

He only had a slight impression of Tan Yuchen, unlike the black blind man who would give him a sense of familiarity. Tan Yuchen was like a person who suddenly appeared and took him out of that place without any purpose. Zhang Qiling didn't know how to deal with this kind of person. Fortunately, he always looked calm, and Tan Yuchen didn't need him to deal with it.

Heixiazi had known Tan Yuchen earlier than him. Although he smiled every day, the slight sense of alienation on his body still let Zhang Qiling know that he was guarding against Tan Yuchen.

After all, the three of them had only known each other for less than a month, and they couldn't trust someone right away.

The group rested for a while and continued on their way.

Tan Yuchen always felt a little awkward with Zhang Qiling next to him. He looked at him strangely several times and asked, "What's wrong?"

The blind man smiled disapprovingly: "It's okay, the mute is sick."

Tan Yuchen was even more confused.

But he didn't ask any more questions.

They kept walking along the river and heard rumors that the tomb was around the river. They walked for a while, then Bearded asked everyone to stop, and then ordered a few people to find the entrance nearby.

After waiting in place for more than ten minutes, someone finally arrived who found the entrance.

Tan Yuchen and Heixiazi stood at the entrance of the robbery cave, neither of them planning to go down first. The two of them made eye contact, and the blind man said: "Mr. Xu, your people have been here before, why don't you go down first?"

"Mr. Qin's skills are extraordinary. Why don't you go first, Mr. Qin?" Mr. Xu stared at Qin Yuchen and said.

The black blind man made a sound and joked with a smile: "Mr. Tan please?"

"Tsk." Tan Yuchen rolled his eyes at the blind man and jumped down.

The robbery cave was very dark, so Qin Yuchen took out a torch, lit it with a fire stick, and stood aside waiting for the others.

The last ones to come down were Zhang Qiling and Heixiazi. Seeing that the three of them didn't move, Mr. Xu followed suit.

Qin Yuchen tilted his head in confusion: "Mr. Xu, is it your time to go? I listened to you and came down first."

Mr. Xu was speechless. He said: "The three of you have received money after all. Wouldn't it be bad if you don't do anything?"

"You can't say that." Black Blind Man sighed three times, "The boss only gave us money for finding things, but he didn't give us money for bodyguards~"

"you……"

"Mr. Xu, follow me." The bearded man couldn't stand it anymore and took the lead to move forward.

"The little boss turns out to be cheating sometimes." Hei Xiazi followed a few people and joked.

"Those who are close to ink are black." Qin Yuchen said with connotation.

But who is the blind man? He was notoriously shameless, and he said, "Have you heard me? The little boss is blaming you for leading him astray."

Zhang Qiling: "..."

Zhang Qiling glanced at them and passed them directly.

Tan Yuchen unexpectedly understood that look this time and laughed softly: "People are scolding you."

"I'm obviously scolding you." The black blind man refused to admit it.

The thief's cave was very long, and after walking for a while, everyone finally saw a door.

Qin Yuchen held a torch and inspected the door carved out of stone. The door was not big and could only be entered by one person at a time.

Zhang Qiling touched around the door and shook his head at the two men, indicating that there was no mechanism.

The black blind man smiled, turned to Mr. Xu and said, "Can you please send two people to push this stone door open?"

Mr. Xu didn't act like a monster this time. He said a few words to Luo Hu, and Luo Hu casually ordered the two of them to push the stone door.

The stone door was opened purely by brute force, and it took a lot of effort for the two of them to move the stone door away. After it was removed, a long corridor was revealed, and the lotus head lamps on the wall also lit up, illuminating the entire corridor. There were two exquisite dragon heads on both sides of each lamp.

"Little boss, guess what words are written on this corridor?" asked the black blind man.

Tan Yuchen didn't react and looked at the blind man with a puzzled expression.

The black blind man smiled: "It says there is a mechanism~"

"..." Tan Yuchen kicked the blind man with a dumb look on his face and went to Zhang Qiling's side.

Zhang Qiling looked like he was watching a show, and when he received the blind man's gaze, he gave him a look that deserved it.

Black Blind Man: "..." Wuwuwu x﹏x

Zhang Qiling stepped into the door first. The floor was paved with stone slabs, one next to another. Zhang Qiling walked very carefully, because if he was not careful, he would trigger the trap.

He walked more than ten steps, turned back and nodded to Tan Yuchen.

In order to avoid trouble, Qin Yuchen kindly reminded: "Follow the stone slab we are stepping on."

After saying that, he and the black blind man went in front and back.

Bearded and the others protected Mr. Xu in the middle, stepping on the stone slabs that Tan Yuchen had stepped on, and slowly moved towards the end of the corridor.

Zhang Qiling reached the second door first. This door was much larger than the first door. There were two stone lions on both sides of the door.

He walked to the stone lion to observe, and when the black blind man came over, he said: "Over there, together."

The black blind man nodded and went to the other side.

"Crack...knock..."

At this moment, the sound of mechanisms operating came from both sides of the stone wall.

The lotus headlights were instantly extinguished, and the dragon heads on both sides opened their mouths and fired dozens of arrows at the mercenaries who were still in the middle of the road.

"what--"

Several screams sounded.

Before the mercenaries understood what was happening, more than ten people were shot with arrows.

Qin Yuchen reacted quickly, kicked off the ground and took off, spinning around in the air to avoid the passing arrow, and landed next to Zhang Qiling by the light of the torch.

"Get down quickly." The black blind man shouted.

The bearded man hurriedly protected Mr. Xu and lay down on the ground, and several mercenaries also quickly lay down.

Tan Yuchen didn't look good. He looked at the wailing mercenaries with a torch and thought about whether to kill them all directly.

Zhang Qiling pursed his lips. He could feel the low pressure from the people around him and wanted to persuade him, but finally gave up. He just stretched out his finger to poke the person's shoulder, shook his head when Tan Yuchen looked over, and told him that it was okay.

The arrow rain lasted for five minutes before it stopped. Only five of the twelve mercenaries were left this time, plus an old man, Xu.

Mr. Xu was hit by an arrow in his arm. He was sitting at the feet of the stone lion and had someone bandage him.

The other five people were more or less injured except for their beards, but they were not fatal.

"Everyone, it's not too late to go out now." The blind man leaned against the door with his arms folded.

Mr. Xu asked the bearded man to help him up and said stubbornly: "I don't need you to worry about it, I won't go out until I find something."

"...In that case, take care of your people and don't let them step on the trap again~" The black blind man shrugged and smiled nonchalantly.

Elder Xu: "..."

Zhang Qiling and Heixiazi put their hands into the stone lion's mouth, grabbed the iron chain and pulled open the stone door.

Zhang Qiling was still walking at the front. The black blind man hugged the cold-faced Tan Yuchen, patted his shoulder and led him inside.

This is not much different from the first corridor. The only difference is that it is wider than the first one. There are a row of mummies wearing armor standing on both sides of the corridor. Some mummies are holding broadswords as wide as the palm of their hand, and some mummies are holding long guns. .

Zhang Qiling walked over to a mummy, inspected it, frowned and said, "No blood."

Heixiazi and Tan Yuchen also frowned after hearing this. There were at least a dozen mummies here at a glance. It would be impossible to escape intact once they saw blood.

Qin Yuchen kicked the bearded calf and said in a calm voice: "Go quickly, don't let the blood on your body rub on those mummies, otherwise God won't be able to save you even if he comes."

The bearded man was about to get angry when he was stopped by Mr. Xu.

Listening to them at this time is the wisest choice. These three people obviously know more about tomb robbing than they do, so just follow them.

Mr. Xu emphasized Tan Yuchen's words again. The six of them were close together, fearing that they would bump into each other accidentally.

This time Zhang Qiling and Tan Yuchen walked at the end, and Heixiazi walked beside a few people to prevent anyone from touching them randomly because they couldn't control their hands.

They came to the end of the corridor. There were two bifurcated roads. The one on the left was dim and there was no light, and the one on the right had an obvious light source in front of it.

"Do you think something will suddenly appear at this time and force us to take another road?" The black blind man stood on the right, looking at something in the darkness that was about to move.

Zhang Qiling: "..."

Mr. Xu asked: "Which way should we go?"

Qin Yuchen stood on the right, slowed down his breathing, listened quietly for a while, and said, "On the left."

Then he rolled his eyes at the blind man and walked to the left.

"No, what happened to me, blind man?" The black blind man followed behind and asked Tan Yuchen.

When passing by Zhang Qiling, he received a laugh from the mute.

"Tsk, it's only the blind man who has a good temper, otherwise I will end up fighting you two sooner or later." The black blind man tsked lightly and raised his fist behind Tan Yuchen to express his dissatisfaction.

"Can you beat us two?" Tan Yuchen asked sincerely.

"Of course, I can beat two blind men~" The black blind man was right.

Tan Yuchen raised his eyebrows lightly, stopped and turned around to ask Zhang Qiling with his eyes.

Zhang Qiling's eyebrows were soft under the firelight, not as cold as before. He met Tan Yuchen's gaze and shook his head gently.

"Pfft." The corners of Tan Yuchen's mouth rose, and the indifferent expression he had just now disappeared because of this smile. With the corners of his eyes curled up, he raised his chin at Zhang Qiling, and then mouthed, "He's bragging."

Zhang Qiling looked away, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.

"What riddles are you two playing?" The black blind man looked at the interaction between the two and pursed his lips, "What is there that I, the blind man, can't know?"

Tan Yuchen continued to walk forward: "What do you think?"

"The little boss and the mute have a little secret, why don't they tell the blind man to me~" The blind man wiped away the non-existent tears and said in an aggrieved tone, "After all, I became the outsider~"

Qin Yuchen: "..."

Zhang Qiling: "..."
