The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb! Chapter 258 - 253: Sitting on the Door

Xiao Changfeng was worried about our safety. Perhaps he vaguely sensed that we intended to act alone, so he returned quickly.

Without the password or ’key’ to open the door, he deduced the chanism of the cave entrance by listening to the echo of the knocks and mapping it out.

The chip in his brain wasn’t installed in vain; so things that ordinary people can’t do, his enhanced brain can achieve.

Xiao Changfeng and Gan Quan saw the corpse of the Big-headed Bird in the upper layer and slid down the vertical shaft with a rope lock to the underground river.

This forced them to retreat. After asuring the water flow and river direction, they ca back down with equipnt.

It’s unrealistic to go upstream by personal strength alone, let alone climb a waterfall cliff barehanded.

When Xiao Changfeng arrived, the survivors in the outer stone house had not yet breathed their last, but their condition was already believed to be critical, so their rescue efforts focused on these survivors.

Chen Qinghan said I exhausted my energy and was poisoned by a giant snake monster. I needed to find a friend deep in the mountains for treatnt.

This ti, Xiao Changfeng didn’t doubt it; my appearance was a waste of color if not poisoned.

However, he asked why not go back to the departnt for treatnt as there were also famous doctors there specializing in various intractable poisonings.

Chen Qinghan gave quite a sufficient reason: because the famous doctor in the mountains was nearest to us, just over an hour’s drive away.

The reinforcent Xiao Changfeng called for arrived shortly after. They set up machines in the bird’s nest room and lifted the comatose survivors up for treatnt on the spot.

The lives of those people were temporarily saved, but judging by the doctor’s tone, even if they could wake up, they didn’t have many days to live.

The greedy snake had drained their vitality to prolong its life. Doctors can treat illness but not fate, which is beyond help.

Yet Xiao Changfeng said there was enough ti. As long as they woke up, he could ask them about the mastermind behind this mission.

The poachers’ leader was hired to awaken the Big-headed Bird. He might not have known the severity, or he wouldn’t have dared to enter the cave alone, ending in such a tragic death.

Li Chengming confird the leader’s identity via a phone video; he was the one whose heart and liver were eaten by the Big-headed Bird.

The others who were no longer recognizable took Li Chengming a long ti to recall and na.

The reinforcent personnel called by Xiao Changfeng not only treated the wounded and rescued us but also cleaned up the site and destroyed evidence.

They packed up the corpses of the greedy snake and Bull Demon King, photographed the interior, and then burned down their lair.

They even blew up the entrance and vertical shaft to ensure that no one would accidentally wander into this place.

anwhile, the headless bird and Rock Miner had disappeared without a trace. Chen Qinghan told Xiao Changfeng they fled while we battled the Big-headed Bird, which wasn’t a lie.

I handed the Crystal Tower to Xiao Changfeng. Li Chengming had seen this item before. Keeping it secretly would be troubleso, and I didn’t intend to use it against anyone. Such a dangerous item is best stored in a safe place.

Chen Qinghan said there is a warehouse in the departnt specifically for storing such items. The dangerous ancient artifacts they find and cannot destroy are all stored there.

After explaining everything, Chen Qinghan drove away first. The subsequent work didn’t need us, at most a report from Chen Qinghan later.

Even though the greedy snake’s issue was resolved, I felt things weren’t that simple. The mysterious creature ntioned in the carving might be the potential threat we should worry about and pay attention to.

Chen Qinghan listened to my thoughts and said he would ntion the situation in the report. No matter what purpose that mysterious creature has, as long as the poachers reveal the mastermind, Xiao Changfeng and his team could follow the leads, find it, and bring it back for interrogation and clarification.

There are not a few mbers of the Alien Clan active in this world. The reason there hasn’t been significant trouble thus far is that soone has been maintaining another kind of ’order’ in the shadows.

I’ve also noticed that this departnt I joined has gathered many talented individuals. Chen Qinghan, Bao Ziqing, and Xiao Changfeng, each with their own ultimate skill, are not ordinary people.

It was only through real contact with modern society that I discovered the hidden Alien Clan among the people. Yet, despite the different races, most of them are ordinary civilians, living hidden among people not to harm but simply to make a living and live ordinary days.

Such man-eating clans mostly hide in dark corners to eat in stealth, rarely mingling into cities or populous places, as humans are currently the most nurous group on Earth and could be considered the dominators.
