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

Hei Xia Zi said with great interest: "Master Cheng has a good eye. How did you figure out this trap? Also, Master Cheng was able to determine that this person sneaked in with just a few glances. Aren't you afraid that you might kill the wrong person?"

"Mechanism, look at the position of the iron chain in this laboratory and the pattern on the iron chain. Does it correspond to the pattern on the stone slab? Is this difficult?"

Cheng Ji didn't even turn his head, pointing to the tattoo that almost covered his back and said, "As for the person you mentioned, they don't have the blessing of bloodline, but they still want to create a pirated wild chicken, afraid that others can't see it, so they have to tattoo their whole back. Look, the chicken head has reached the neck. Don't say you didn't see it. He has been wearing black sunglasses for several years. Do you really think you are blind?"

Hei Xia Zi was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I say, kid, I didn't offend you, did you? Why do you treat me like this all day long?"

"You said that yourself just to get scolded, you can't blame me." Cheng Ji turned his head and said to Hei Xia Zi with a smile.

Hearing this, Black Blind gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you are awesome. Then, Master, can we set off now? If we don't go out, it will be past dinner time. I am hungry."

Although he knew that Hei Xia Zi was not really hungry, it was not advisable to stay here for long. Cheng Ji nodded and stood up. He was the first to stand on the mechanism stone slab, pointing to the two empty spaces in the middle and said, "Don't stand on these two slabs, Fourth Master, tell your people to come up quickly."

Everyone stood at the position pointed by the young man, and the mechanism was activated the moment the last person stepped down.

The stone wall slowly descended and fell onto the drainage river below the tomb chamber. Coincidentally, the width of the stone slab was just right to be laid flat in the middle of the river, connecting the two sides of the river.

The few of them did not delay any longer and hurried to reach the shore.

Cheng Ji was the last one to go ashore. The moment he stepped onto the shore, the stone slab made another loud noise and quickly rose back up.

Hei Xia Zi folded his hands and looked in the direction where the stone slab disappeared, the arc of his lips still did not drop: "Wow, this thing is much more advanced than what we have made now."

Cheng Ji rolled his eyes at Hei Xia Zi, walked to the front of the team, and said to Chen Pi, "The exit is in front, you can go out from there. I have something to take care of first, so excuse me."

Chen Pi trusted the boy's skills very much, and without any hesitation, he nodded and said, "Be careful, then we will retreat first."

After receiving the response, Cheng Ji went in the opposite direction.

Hei Xia Zi looked at the boy's receding back, licked his teeth, and sighed in his heart: What a troublesome little bastard.

"Kid, wait for the blind man!" The black blind man quickly chased after him and shouted with a smile.

Cheng Ji turned his head and waited for Hei Xia Zi to catch up. He frowned and said, "I'm going to take care of my own business. Why are you following me?"

Hei Xiazi smiled nonchalantly: "As a blind man, I just like to join in the fun. What's the matter? Is it that what Master Cheng is going to do is something that outsiders cannot see? Then the blind man will be even more curious~"

"...If you want to follow, just follow me." Cheng Ji didn't waste any words with Hei Xia Zi, but he was a little puzzled. Hei Xia Zi was not a brainless person, so why was he so familiar with him whom he had just known for one day.

Throughout the day, almost from the beginning, he followed wherever he went, almost inseparable.

He is not a narcissistic person, so he naturally would not think that it is his so-called personal charm that allows Hei Ye to treat him like this for no reason. So, what does Hei Ye want from him?

Cheng Ji was puzzled and simply didn't bother to think about the problem anymore. He just focused on thinking about how to deal with the matter.

The two of them walked almost without stopping all the way to the village they passed on the way up the mountain.

After staying in the tomb for a whole day, it was noon when I came out. The sun shone directly into the forest, shining through the branches onto the ground, leaving patches of light.

This village hidden in the mountains and forests is mostly made of earthen houses built with stones and thatch, scattered on the hillside. Cheng Ji looked from the village entrance towards the Fox Fairy Temple that they saw when they entered the underground palace. Sure enough, the Fox Fairy Temple was located right on the most auspicious spot in the entire village.

They replaced the statue of the fox fairy with their own and worshipped it often, which was quite like the story of a cat substituting for a prince and becoming the king of the mountain.

The arrival of the young man seemed to have caught the entire village by surprise. The village chief had been complacently thinking that the Ten Thousand Arrows Mechanism he had specially activated could perfectly trap the tomb robbers in the underground palace. However, within just a few hours, they escaped and even came to his doorstep.

The village chief was looking at the two people coming over. They were wearing familiar clothes that he had seen from afar that day. He was about to play dumb, but when he raised his eyes, he saw the young man's face clearly.

"You...how could you..." The village chief looked as if he had seen a ghost, and his speech became much more incoherent.

The young man smiled and said slowly, "Why, don't you think my face looks familiar? You drink the pool water with the blood of Qingqiu Nine-Tailed Fox every day, don't you feel guilty?"

"No... it's impossible. You can't have lived that long! And you died 20 years ago. There's no pulse at all. You vixen, did you just take over someone else's body to survive?" the village chief shouted tremblingly.

"I take over someone else's body? Do I need to take over someone else's body? Why are you so scared? Your ancestor swore a solemn oath to protect the tomb of our Nine-tailed Cheng family for generations. If he knew you did this, he would probably be so angry that he would jump out of the ground, right?"

The village chief's expression of fear changed into uncertainty when he heard this. He quietly stepped back a few steps and stepped on the mechanism he had set up long ago to prevent tomb robbers. In an instant, an arrow flew out from the depths of the woods and went straight towards the back of the boy's head!

Feeling the strong wind behind him, the boy turned his head and his pupils suddenly shrank.

He had just fused his bloodline and had used Fenghou Qimen excessively in one day, so his mental strength had long been at the end of its strength. But in his current situation, he had almost no other way except to use the Luanjin Tu.

Just when Cheng Ji was about to grit his teeth and open Fenghou Qimen, a black ancient sword flew from the other end of the woods and knocked the arrow to the ground!

The boy leaned back due to inertia and was grabbed by a big hand around the waist and pulled into the arms.

The young man leaned in the arms of the visitor in a daze, smelling the familiar scent on him, and said dully: "What a coincidence... Why are you here?"

The visitor pursed his lips and said seriously, "Unfortunately, I have been here all the time."

"?" Cheng Ji felt that his brain couldn't work properly when he met this person.

Hei Xiazi walked over with his arms folded and said leisurely, "Of course it's a coincidence. He has been following you all the way. He happened to know that you were going to participate in this operation, so he asked me to let him sneak into the team. That's why he has been in the team the whole time. If he wasn't afraid of that bastard finding out, he would have wanted to protect you closely."

"Alas, I, a blind man, am destined to work hard. If I take a job, I have to pay money and bring someone with me. That's not enough, I have to be threatened by both sides." The black bear wailed.

Zhang Qiling stared at the young man in his arms and said seriously, "Blind, take my money."

Cheng Ji understood this time: "You said he charged two fees?"

"Yeah." Zhang Qiling responded.

The young man smiled and said to Hei Xia Zi word by word: "I owe you 10,000 yuan. Give it to me tomorrow."

"Shouldn't you write an IOU first?"

"I regret it."

"You...you two men...you are going too far!"
