The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb! Chapter 402 - 311: Howls in the Night

Mike’s magazine was already empty, with less than twenty bullets left in his gun.

If too many animals ca at them, he would have to rely on his dagger to fight.

In such a critical mont, he couldn’t afford to worry about politeness and rummaged through the bags in the house, but unfortunately, he didn’t find a single bullet.

The injured ones didn’t have weapons either, so this battle would surely be a tough one.

Qinghan nodded at , indicating the plan we had discussed earlier: if it truly ca to a life-or-death mont, he would find a way to divert others’ attention while I secretly used Karmic Fire.

The first animal that jumped out was shot by Mike and fell to the ground, struggling a few tis before going still.

At that ti, we were about ten ters away from the small animal. I looked at Mike in confusion; why didn’t his and Qinghan’s receivers react to sothing approaching at that distance?

Mike clearly didn’t understand either; after killing a beast, he touched the pocket with the receiver with one hand, confirming it wasn’t vibrating.

"Did you see that? That wolf had two heads," Wang Le asked.

"It didn’t look like a wolf to . Did you notice its especially short forelimbs?" Huang Zaijiang said.

At this mont, everyone was crowded at the door. The advantage of the house was that it had no windows, and the door was particularly narrow, easy to defend but hard to attack.

If we really couldn’t handle the beasts outside, we could close the door and brace against the door panel, giving us a chance to rest.

I looked up at the basin-sized hole in the roof, regretted coming down, and climbed back up using the stone table inside.

"I’ll guard this hole," I called out to the others and climbed back onto the roof.

"No!" Mike’s voice tried to stop .

Unfortunately, he wasn’t as fast as my actions, and by the ti he called out, I was already on the roof.

"This house is low, and animals with so jumping ability can get up here. You’ll be surrounded," Wang Le explained Mike’s reasons for stopping .

"If we don’t guard this hole, we’ll end up being a one-pot al," I called out, pulling a bag from my backpack.

This was sothing Lilith gave —well, a ’peace offering’ because our last mission didn’t go smoothly. Besides apologizing, she also gave a gift.

If it were sothing else, I might not have been interested, but the mont I saw it, I imdiately accepted it, and from then on, we let bygones be bygones with a smile.

The canvas bag didn’t take up much space, and inside were two short rods, with one end being a handgrip wrapped with anti-sweat and anti-slip leather, and the other end shaped into strange sharp hooks.

The tip resembled a sharpened bamboo stick, with a blood groove, each rod being only half a ter long.

Its material was neither iron nor steel, but incredibly sharp, so the pointed end had a cap. Removing the cap, it could easily pierce a hole through the stone roof.

Lilith ntioned that the tal was extrely rare, found during one of her missions in an ancient tomb, held dearly by the tomb master, and buried in a coffin by them.

Later, the tech departnt said the tal’s slting requirents were extrely high, sothing ancient technology couldn’t achieve, so it was kept as a rare item.

Lilith thought crafting it into a weapon would make it very handy, so she specially had soone make it into this shape.

Offering sothing beloved and practical, she showed sincerity, and I made peace with her through a handshake.

As soon as I gripped the two weapons, Mike fired down below.

This ti, he hit two beasts, using up five bullets.

I heard Qinghan say, "They’re wearing down your bullets."

The first ti only one ca out, the second ti two. We couldn’t remain inactive even with the few beasts that ca over, but if we kept chipping away like this, Mike’s bullets would run out in minutes.

"Should we let them co over and engage in close combat?" Huang Zaijiang asked.

"No, I suspect these animals are waiting for us to let them co," Wang Le said.

"How is that possible?" Mike’s eyes stared outside the door unblinkingly at the animal corpses.

"Think about it. If they stay sowhere not too close, not too far, could we send soone out? If there are other animals ambushing nearby at that ti..." Wang Le didn’t continue, but everyone understood his point.

"No, I don’t believe they’re that smart," Mike said as he slightly lowered his gun. At that mont, another beast slowly erged from the dark not far away.

To call it a wolf wasn’t accurate; its face resembled a fox, but its body didn’t match. Due to its short forelegs, it moved as if crawling.
