The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 253 - 251: Don’t Come Any Closer_2

Accompanied by this festive melody, the blood-drained greedy snake was dragged out by its companions.

It seems that peacefully getting out today is impossible. Anyway, right now Qinghan is delirious, so using green light to divide these greedy snakes is much easier than knocking them out one by one.

But Qinghan didn’t give me a chance. With a wave of his hand, the shortsword on the ground swiftly flew back into his hand, like a scene from a martial arts movie.

The shortsword turned into a longsword, and he, with his sword, like a whirlwind, swish, swish, swish, slash, slash, slash, ah, ah, ah, cut down all the greedy snakes blocking the door.

I quickly withdrew Er Kang’s hand, hiding behind him to make finishing moves. Inheriting the will of their ancestors to slay them, Chen Qinghan carved a bloody path outside the room in an instant. Seeing they couldn’t win, the greedy snakes didn’t fight to the end. They fled in panic, and though their fighting skills weren’t great, their speed in escaping was truly exceptional, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Chen Qinghan looked at the greedy snakes fleeing in all directions, sheathed his sword, and didn’t give chase.

He turned back and stared at me, scaring me to step back: "Don’t come over here!"

He opened his arms as if to give a hug, his lips curled in an innocent smile, and then his body fell straight forward.

I quickly dashed forward to catch him, discovering he had actually fallen asleep.

What will did the ancestors of the greedy snakes instill in him? Why does it feel like he’s drunk and causing a scene?

I hoisted Qinghan and walked out. The corridor was already empty, not a single snake in sight. The terrain here is low, with only a river as the way in, and a cliff waterfall. Trying to reverse climb through the ’elevator shaft’ back to the Big-headed Bird’s quarters is likely impossible.

But there’s a corpse lying on the ’restaurant’ stone platform. I need to find another place to settle Qinghan. If there’s no other exit here, we’ll just have to wait for Xiao Changfeng and Gan Lu to come fetch us.

I looked at the room opposite; it seems I didn’t see any greedy snake escape that way earlier.

I quickly walked over, kicked open the stone door across, and inside was a space unexpectedly large—a square hall with a circular stone platform in the center, and on the platform stood a statue.

The statue depicted a large snake winding around the Bull Demon King. Because the snake’s tail was so thick, it looked like a fusion of a bull’s head, a human body, and a snake’s tail.

Rustling—

A suddenly rattling noise sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet environment. The sound wasn’t from outside the door but came from the statue.

Focusing intently, I saw the snake tail on the statue was subtly moving, making a faint rustling sound.

The Bull Demon King’s statue was a real statue, and the snake coiled on it was a real snake.

Only this snake’s tail was twice as thick as the greedy snakes outside. The rattle on the tail’s tip looked like a large cotton ball spun from a cotton candy machine.

"Blood Mother, do you really intend to exterminate my clan?" A triangular head suddenly emerged above the Bull Demon King’s horns.

This head was also twice as large as the greedy snakes outside, clearly the leader of the greedy snakes. This hall, which resembled a sacrificial place, should be its throne room.

"Well, if you’re willing to accept the law’s sanctions, I wouldn’t have to eradicate you. Kidnapping, illegal detainment, bodily harm, letting birds eat people, committing so many deeds, you wish to walk away unscathed?... It’s not impossible, but it must be handled under a different procedure, and there won’t be a good outcome ultimately."

"Law? My clan came first, humans later. Eating people is our clan’s nature, like humans eating cattle and sheep, violating whose law? These rules made by latecomers, my clan need not obey."

"If you’re not following them, why hide here to eat, and not go to capital, Hu, or Guang to eat? As far as I know, there are quite a few man-eating races in Bei Piao." This is definitely not a fabricated lie but a significant discovery of mine. You wouldn’t know without immersing into the crowd; only to be shocked upon mingling in—there are quite a few anomalies hidden in the bustling, thriving metropolises of modern society.

Unfortunately, humans can’t discern them. I can occasionally identify a few and have mentioned them to Qinghan.

He said there’s a department in charge of such affairs, ensuring no big mess caused by the Alien Clan.

"Our tribe is declining. During that prolonged cold period, most of my tribe perished from severe cold and starvation. Now, all that’s left of my clan are these few descendants. Blood Mother, you can take this food, but his physique is special. Please allow him to leave descendants for my clan before leaving."

The voice of the large triangular head was mournful and distant, like the tolling of solemn bells.
