Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

The next day, the fat man rarely slept until noon. He got up when it was still light in the sky.

He lit a bonfire in the middle of the camp and sat on a rock watching the water boiling in the pot.

"Fat brother? Why did you get up so early today?"

Yuncai walked out of the tent and immediately saw the fat man sitting opposite her, daydreaming alone.

The fat man looked up at her, and his expressionless face instantly broke into a big smile, like a sunflower blooming wildly in the sun.

"You're up, Yuncai. Come and sit down. I thought you were going down the mountain today, so I got up early to cook for you."

"Thank you, Fat Brother..."

Yuncai thanked him with a smile. The girl held her chin with her hand and stared at the grilled fish. Her beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed, full of desire.

The fat man stared blankly at the clouds, his eyes no longer moving at all, and there was an obsessed smile on his face.

As soon as Wu Xie walked out of the tent, he saw Fatty's disgusted look. He sighed lightly, rolled his eyes speechlessly, and walked towards them.

"Fatty, you want to eat grilled fish so early in the morning?"

The fat man glanced at Wu Xie quickly and hurriedly turned the fish that was almost burnt.

"Yes, it will be ready soon. Although my cooking skills are not as good as Han Yan's, it still tastes good."

Wu Xie chuckled and walked over to sit next to him. After a while, Zhang Qiling and Zhang Hanyan also walked over to sit next to the campfire.

Zhang Qiling kept looking at Zhang Hanyan intentionally or unintentionally. It could be seen that he was in a good mood and there was a faint smile on his lips.

Zhang Hanyan kept avoiding his gaze, looking around but not at him.

Whenever she thought of what happened by the fire last night, she felt her cheeks burning and she didn't dare to look at him at all.

The fat man looked at Zhang Qiling, then turned to look at Zhang Hanyan, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion.

"You two... Fatty, why do I feel like there's something wrong with you two? Huh? Naive, don't you think?"

Wu Xie looked at them in confusion, but after watching for a long time he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"No, aren't they like this every day? What's wrong?"

The fat man shook his head. "Tsk, I don't know what's wrong, but I just feel something is wrong."

"Okay, Fatty, you keep talking nonsense all day long, and the fish are going to get burnt!"

Wu Xie stood up and snatched the almost burnt fish from Fatty's hand. He smelled the burnt smell of the grilled fish and looked regretful.

"It's okay. There are still a few that haven't been grilled yet. I've taken care of them. Each of you can take one and grill it yourself."

Zhang Qiling looked in the direction of the fat man's finger and saw four or five fish skewered on wooden sticks.

He stood up, walked over, picked up the two fish, sat by the fire and put the fish on the flames to roast. The fish were too close to the flames and their skin was burnt black in a short while.

"Let me do it. You'll burn the fish if you do this."

Zhang Hanyan quickly took the two fish from his hands, ignoring his smiling eyes and focusing only on the movement of turning the branch in her hand.

The slight blush on her face was concealed by the flickering flames.

After breakfast, the fat man sent Yuncai down the mountain. Before Yuncai left, he glanced at Zhang Hanyan unintentionally, and that glance was full of meaning.

"Brother, are we going to fish in the water today?"

Wu Xie clapped his hands, stood up, looked at the sparkling lake, and asked loudly.

"Well, let's go down and take a look," Zhang Qiling said, looking at Zhang Hanyan, "Don't go too far alone."

"I know. I'm not going anywhere. I'll just wait here for you to come back."

Under Zhang Hanyan's gaze, Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie jumped into the water with flashlights and disappeared on the lake in a short while.

After they dived for a few minutes, Wu Xie rushed out of the water to breathe, but Zhang Qiling showed no intention of floating up for a long time.

"Wu Xie, where's the little brother?"

Zhang Hanyan quickly ran to the water's edge. She looked at the rippling lake surface with anxiety on her face.

"Brother is still down there. We found something down there! It looks like a building!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hanyan immediately jumped into the water and swam towards Wu Xie's location.

[Host, have they found the ancient building? ]

It is not an ancient building, but a Yao village built at the bottom of the lake for cover.

"Han Yan, do you want to go down and take a look too? Wait a moment, I'll tie a stone to my foot to increase the weight."

After Wu Xie tied the stone, Zhang Hanyan and he dived into the center of the bottomless lake.

The light from the flashlight is very weak underwater and you can't see too far.

They dived for a long time before they saw a huge and blurry shadow in front of them. The shadow was an old wooden building that collapsed in the ravine underwater.

They had been diving for too long and Wu Xie was almost unable to hold his breath. He struggled to untie the stones tied to his feet and float to the surface to breathe fresh air.

Seeing this, Zhang Hanyan had no choice but to quickly take out the water-repellent beads she had purchased from the system mall.

She grabbed Wu Xie's wrist, and the water-repellent beads isolated the water flow around them, allowing them to breathe freely like on land.

"Hanyan, what is this? It's magical!"

Wu Xie looked at the bead in her hand in disbelief. He couldn't believe that this bead, which looked no different from a pearl, could actually block the flow of water.

"Avoid water beads, find the little brother first."

Zhang Hanyan led him around the collapsed wooden building. While searching for Zhang Qiling, they saw that there was more than one wooden building in front of them.

There are many interlaced black shadows underwater, and even many dilapidated tile houses, stone steps, fences, and everything else, just like an ancient Yao village.

They found Zhang Qiling at the fence of the underwater Yao village. Probably because he had been holding his breath for too long, his complexion looked very bad and abnormally pale.

Zhang Hanyan stuffed the water-repellent bead into his hand without saying a word. As soon as the bead left his hand, the surrounding water flow instantly destroyed them. Wu Xie was caught off guard and drank a big gulp of water.

Zhang Qiling quickly took her hand, and when their fingers were tightly clasped, the water-repellent beads once again isolated the water flow around the three of them.

"Cough cough cough... Hanyan, next time, could you please give me a heads up in advance? Cough cough cough... I almost choked to death on the water..."

Wu Xie pounded his chest, choked, and then spit out the water he had just drunk bit by bit.

Zhang Hanyan smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I will definitely greet you first next time."

Zhang Qiling looked at the two people holding hands, his eyes dimmed, and a nameless fire burned in his heart.

He placed the water-repellent bead in Zhang Hanyan's hand, and under her puzzled gaze, he pulled Wu Xie's hand away and grabbed him with his own hand.

He stood between the two of them, blocking Wu Xie and Zhang Hanyan from looking at each other.

Wu Xie was speechless for a moment. Even though he was slow-witted, he understood what Zhang Qiling meant. He curled his lips into a smile and said jokingly.

"Brother... I didn't expect your vinegar bottle to be so full of vinegar. It's almost overflowing..."

Zhang Qiling glanced at him indifferently and ignored him, just focusing on looking at the corpse and gun hanging on the fence.
