Chapter 463: 462. So smart? Chapter 463: 462. So smart? The world is vast, filled with all sorts of oddities.
The three of them had received special training from the National Security Departnt, and during their missions, they had encountered many strange and unusual people and events, but none had yet t soone who could actually press acupoints.
Tang Shu nodded, and after taking the pulse, she fed the other party an elixir, “Hmm, I’ve temporarily stopped the bleeding, he can hold on for another three to four hours.”
Even if it was a tomb robber, after getting out, he would still have to be sent to the relevant departnts for trial, they certainly wouldn’t just leave him to die.
Su Xiaochi said, “Thanks, if it weren’t for you stumbling upon us this ti, he would’ve been a goner right here.”
The other two exchanged glances, and their view of Tang Shu imdiately changed.
Goodness, this young girl looks like she’s underage, how can she know about pressing acupoints and taking pulses?
When they had received their mission, they thought she was just a young girl who knew so self-defense martial arts, but it turns out she’s quite the wonder, indeed every person in the organization is talented!
Compared to her, the two of them were just the embodint of diocrity.
“Hey, do you think Miss Tang could also know that ‘leaping onto roofs and vaulting over walls’ kind of martial arts?”
“What are you thinking? This is the real world! Having the skill to press acupoints is already considered that of a master, let alone leaping onto roofs and vaulting over walls? You’ve watched too many martial arts dramas!”
The two fell behind and muttered quietly to each other, yet Tang Shu overheard every single word clearly.
She curled the corner of her mouth and caught up with Su Xiaochi’s pace.

The ancient tomb had a square layout on the surface, but there were many branching paths below, which were utterly confusing.
“This way.”
When they faced another crossroad, Su Xiaochi observed for a mont and directly chose the middle path.
“They went through the middle?”
“Hmm, it looks like they think no one’s behind them, their tracks are completely unguarded.”
The four of them followed suit, and along the way, they encountered more hidden chanisms and secret passages, with occasional blood stains scattered on the ground, clearly indicating the ones ahead were injured.
“Are we just reaping the fisherman’s benefit?”
The chanisms had all been dismantled by those in front, indeed making it easier for the people following.
Tang Shu shook her head, “It’s better to be cautious, these chanisms are triggered by touch, and definitely not just once.”
Upon hearing this, everyone beca more vigilant, and soon they discovered a square room ahead, surrounded by walls on all sides.
“No way out?”
“Impossible, there’s a sll of blood here, soone must have been injured in this place.”
“But where did the people go?”
The group, unfamiliar with the ancient tomb, didn’t dare to relax and started looking around. The room contained several wooden tables, and on the tables were many pieces of pottery, much more exquisite than those above.
“So much pottery, these must be burial objects, right?”
“Hmm, this must be the actual burial chamber.”
“Could the people from a matriarchal society be this clever?”
“The owner of the burial chamber is the society leader, it’s only fitting for a grand burial.”
No sooner had she spoken than Tang Shu heard a clicking noise from the west wall, followed by several whooshing sounds.
“Be careful!”
The group quickly dodged the hidden weapons flying towards them, moving swiftly within the room, and after three minutes, countless hidden weapons were still coming.
“How co there are so many?!”
Su Xiaochi dodged a sharp piece of wood flying at him, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of soone getting injured, his expression gradually growing somber.
Tang Shu looked at the west wall, noticed a crescent-shaped indentation, and quickly pulled out sothing from her person. Using a nearby stone for leverage, she propelled herself toward the west wall.
