Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 110 Secret Doors and Mechanisms

The iron skewer, about the thickness of a thumb, was as soft as a noodle in Cheng Feng's hand.

Soon, Cheng Feng bent these straight iron rods with his hard skills.

They bent over dejectedly, helpless as the two people walked past them.

After clearing a path bit by bit, the two arrived at the first wave of corpses.

The first wave of corpses consisted of four people, strung together in pairs, forming two bloody gourds.

The two people in the outermost row had their backs to Cheng Feng, maintaining a posture of fearful avoidance.

Dozens of iron spikes pierced his body, and even the movements of his hands were perfectly preserved.

However, Cheng Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing them. These two were not his subordinates, but rather his own people.

"If they're not one of our people, should we continue forward?"

Chen Wenjin, who was behind Cheng Feng, saw the corpse in front of him through the gap under Cheng Feng's armpit and asked a question.

It's a pity she's a bit short, otherwise she could have rested her head next to Cheng Feng's ear.

"Going forward might get a bit bloody; if I make the slightest move, these people could be torn to pieces."

These blood gourds severely hampered Cheng Feng's progress in bending the iron rod. If they were ignored,

Next, you'll see pieces scattered here and there, one piece for you and one piece for me.

"Or perhaps you should bring out your Fish Intestine Sword?"

Chen Wenjin, standing behind Cheng Feng, tapped his waist and asked tentatively.

Cheng Feng quickly grabbed the little hand that was poking him from behind and said:

"Thinking back, this is the only way. I hope the Fish Intestine Sword can withstand the test!"

Cheng Feng then released Chen Wenjin and casually drew a short sword from his waist.

Then, with a few clangs, the iron rod in front of him was instantly severed by the fish intestine.

The two corpses lay stiffly on the ground, looking like two large figurines.

Cheng Feng looked at the blade and found that there wasn't even a scratch, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

After clearing away the iron spikes in the area, Chen Wenjin found two handguns on the ground.

She carefully picked up the pistol from the gap in the iron bars; it would be a waste not to take such a good thing.

She even planned to loot the weapons from the corpses outside after she went out.

Following Cheng Feng past the humanoid figurines, the two finally arrived at the end of the iron-screwed tomb passage.

This must be a stone block that has blocked the tomb chamber behind the door.

"It was all for nothing. Our people didn't even go through this tomb passage."

The Dragon-Slaying Stone is intact. If the brothers from the Unloading Ridge Clan came here, they would definitely blow it up with a pack of dynamite.

Cheng Feng had no choice but to return the way he came.

There's no need to check on the Yaksha side for now; there's no sign of anyone touching it, and even the dust remains unchanged.

This time, Chen Wenjin was in front and Cheng Feng was behind, and the two slowly returned to the boulder.

"Pack these things up for me!"

As soon as Chen Wenjin turned around, he saw that she was holding dozens of magazines in her arms and had seven or eight pistols tucked into various places on her body.

Seeing Chen Wenjin's flustered state, Cheng Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at? These are all good stuff, hurry up, or I'll get angry!"

Chen Wenjin rolled her eyes at Cheng Feng and said irritably.

"Okay, I've discovered that we have exactly the same hobbies. We both want to take anything that looks good."

As he spoke, Cheng Feng opened his Ghost Eyes and stored the magazines into the Imaginary Space.

Chen Wenjin, feeling relieved, quickly shook his arm; these fully loaded magazines were quite heavy.

"Alright, let's hurry up and go. Every second we delay, the more danger our brothers in the Unloading Ridge faction will face."

As she spoke, Chen Wenjin tried to climb up the boulder. Although she was small, she was quick and agile.

In a few quick movements, he climbed to the top of the boulder and then jumped down with a thud.

Cheng Feng followed closely behind.

Soon the two returned to the trapdoor engraved with the Radiant Beast, and after exiting from there, they headed directly back to the tomb passage they had come from.

During their journey, the two stopped to inspect the tunnel they had entered through.

After confirming that there were no new traces, the two continued walking towards the other side of the tomb passage.

The tomb passage on this side was much more complex, and the two of them made several turns and changed directions more than ten times.

The tomb passage remained unchanged throughout the journey, still adorned with lotus murals in the Tantric style.

"This tomb is indeed extraordinary; it's far too large!"

Chen Wenjin was starting to lose her bearings; they had made too many turns along the way.

Cheng Feng was also getting a little impatient. The tomb owner must have had a lot of free time, building a maze inside his own tomb.

"So far, I haven't seen any signs of repeating the same pattern."

Let's keep going. As long as we don't retrace our steps, we'll definitely find the end.

Cheng Feng responded helplessly.

Just as Cheng Feng said, new changes soon appeared ahead.

The two quickened their pace and approached, where they found the entrance to a side room.

Upon entering the gate, the two saw three stone coffins placed in the center of the side chamber.

They were arranged in a triangle with one horizontal and two vertical lines, and at this point, one of the coffins had already been opened.

Apart from that, there was nothing else in the side chambers; it was so clean that only dust remained.

"Go over and have a look!"

Cheng Feng called out and led Chen Wenjin to the opened stone coffin.

The lights illuminated the interior, revealing only a disemboweled, mummified corpse; there were no burial goods whatsoever.

I don't know if it was taken away, or if they were just poor to begin with.

“Something’s not right. The cracks on this mummy’s body must have opened recently.”

Chen Wenjin carefully examined the laceration on the corpse's abdomen and whispered to Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng shifted his gaze from the coffin, looked around the tomb chamber, and then fixed his eyes on a corner.

There's a small gap there.

The two walked to a corner of the tomb chamber, where there was a small square hole right next to the ground.

Calling it a dog hole is a bit of an exaggeration, but a cat of that size should be able to squeeze in.

Cheng Feng deliberately climbed down to look inside and found that it was very deep, and he didn't know where it led.

"Strange, why would there be such a passageway inside the tomb? Is it for drainage?"

Cheng Feng wrinkled his nose, stood up and said:

"That small hole is probably a worm tunnel. You said the corpse's stomach was just ruptured."

It must have been some kind of insect that was kept inside the corpse, and the opening of the coffin disturbed them.

It broke open the corpse and rushed out to attack the person who opened the coffin.

Chen Wenjin thought about it and felt that it made sense, but there were also parts that didn't make sense.

"What about the person who opened the coffin? They can't have been eaten alive by insects, can they?"

Cheng Feng looked at the side chamber, which had only one path.

"There must be a secret door in this tomb that allows them to leave. Let's look for it!"

The two then began searching the tomb together.

Cheng Feng soon made a discovery: by tapping on the stone wall, he heard something unusual in the echo.

"There's a trap here, Wenjin, come over here."

After calling Chen Wenjin to his side, Cheng Feng reached out and pressed his hand against the stone slab in front of him.

As Cheng Feng exerted force, the stone slab made a slight sound and slowly sank into the wall.

At that moment, a floor tile in the corner opposite Cheng Feng and his companion popped up slightly with a click.

Cheng Feng continued pressing the stone slab, while Chen Wenjin walked to the other side and lifted up the protruding floor tile.

"Alright, let go now!"

Hearing Chen Wenjin's greeting, Cheng Feng finally let go and walked to the other side.

As Cheng Feng left, the stone bricks on the wall slowly began to retract.

The opposite floor tiles also began to close as the stone bricks retracted.

Seeing this, the two dared not delay and quickly ran into the underground secret chamber.

In one of the tomb passages they had walked through, the handsome young man wearing glasses pushed open a hidden door with a look of terror on his face.

He staggered back to the tomb passage, then ran forward without caring which way he was going.

Shortly after he left, several palm-sized black beetles crawled out of the hidden door, seemingly searching for their escaped prey.
