Xiao Chi nodded and looked towards the tomb robbers, noticing that they were all focused on the jade raw stones, their gazes greedy and feverish.
"So, what they want is a room full of jade raw stones, huh? Definitely valuable. Just by seeing the green hue coming through the raw stones, you can tell they are worth a lot."
Even the smallest jade raw stone in the room was the size of a soccer ball, and just moving one out could fetch a good price.
Tang Shu fell silent for a moment, as if deep in thought.
While the people inside were dodging hidden weapons that could be triggered at any moment, those of us responsible for watching the spectacle heard a faint friction sound coming from behind.
By the time everyone reacted, Su Xiaochi’s Sleeve Arrow had already been shot towards someone behind them.
The alloy arrow was blocked by someone against the stone wall of the neighboring chamber, creating a noise, and the person behind had no choice but to reveal their figure.
The person was indeed Zheng Anhe, who was now staring in shock at the scene before him, his body tense, indicating how nervous he was.
"Who exactly are you people? Why did you drug us!"
Tang Shu gave Xiao Chi a look that said "you explain," and the latter understood, pulling out a badge and tossing it straight to Zheng Anhe.
"Handsome, don’t be nervous. We’re here to serve the people, as for them... they’re the ones causing trouble for the people."
Xiao Chi tilted his chin towards the inside, and only then did Zheng Anhe notice there was a group of people in front of the four of them, and although they were also dressed in black, they were clearly different.
"These people are tomb robbers?!"
After confirming Xiao Chi’s identity, he threw the badge back, already quite convinced.
"That’s right, they also drugged the archaeology team."
Zheng Anhe was stunned and pondered for a moment, finally accepting the fact, "When I came here, I saw several corpses that weren’t dressed quite like you guys, they’re tomb robbers too?"
"Handsome is pretty smart, huh!" Su Xiaochi complimented him, but his face became serious, "Now that you know, don’t make trouble. Hide well and later, understand?"
Zheng Anhe was not accustomed to being talked to so rudely by others; he felt a surge of anger and looked at Tang Shu, who hadn’t spoken.
"What about Junior Sister Tang?"
Tang Shu said, "I can protect myself."
"I can too, don’t worry about me."
Finally, the sounds of dodging hidden weapons stopped, and Su Xiaochi made a stopping gesture with his hand while giving a look to a companion.
"Keep an eye on him, no accidents."
Counting roughly, there were still eight or nine members of the Tomb Raiding Gang left, all more or less injured. Some clutched a green gemstone tightly, refusing to let go, while others fished out an uncut red and green gemstone from a piece of wood, their eyes showing the color of obsession.
"There really is a treasure, we’ve struck it rich this time!"
However, the boss seemed indifferent, gun in hand, heading towards a narrow corridor in the distance, "Stay close!"
A few tomb raiders reluctantly put down what they were holding, picked up their weapons, and followed one by one, with Su Xiaochi and the others closely on their trail.
As they moved forward, the sound of flowing water began to echo in the ancient tomb, and the temperature in the air kept dropping, even revealing lava.
"Sister Tang, you were right, this really is a natural cave system."
Formed through tens of thousands, even millions of years of change.
