With a muffled bang, the lid of the cellar opened. With hurried footsteps, a figure rushed in in a panic.
“Boss, Skinny Monkey is dead!”
It was Gang Zi who rushed in. When he saw Pig Head Rong, it was as if he had seen his savior. Pig Head Rong was already wooden at this moment. He even forgot to scold Gang Zi softly. Why would someone die just as he was about to establish his might? Including Black Wolf, who was at the side, was also surprised. “How did he die?” he asked first.
“I don’t know.” At this moment, Gang Zi’s face was filled with fear. Fear could be seen with the naked eye.
“What do you mean you don’t know? Did he f*cking fall to his death again?” Pig Head Rong finally came back to his senses and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
This year was really f*cking unlucky. Pig Head Rong had been in the business of tomb raiding for so many years. Not to mention losing his underlings, even the police had never touched their figures.
He had been at large for so many years, but three of his subordinates had already died this year. Each death was more bizarre than the last!
“No, I was peeing. Skinny Monkey was keeping watch for me. He suddenly pounced on me and died after whipping me twice,” Gang Zi replied in shock.
“Do you need someone else to watch over you when you’re peeing?” Black Wolf acutely caught an unimportant point. He frowned and looked at Pig Head Rong, as if asking, “Is this the brother you bragged about?”
Pig Head Rong could not be bothered with him. Although he was working with the two mercenaries, neither side was convinced of the other. In fact, they could not stand each other. This was normal. The mercenaries could act like they were the boss at any time, as if they could order Pig Head Rong around just because they were buyers.
However, Pig Head Rong had been in the underworld for so many years. When has he ever listened to others?
“Did you notice anything unusual?” He looked at Gang Zi.
Gang Zi was not timid. After digging ancient tombs for so many years, he had never frowned. It was definitely abnormal to scare him like this.
“When Skinny Monkey died, I saw a shadow not far away. I don’t know if it was a human or a ghost, but he pointed at Skinny Monkey and he died. By the way, he even pointed at me. My neck is injured too.” He moved his neck in front of Pig Head Rong.
Only then did Pig Head Rong realize that Gang Zi’s neck was bleeding. His gaze focused as he carefully sized up the wound. Black Wolf, who was beside him, also came over. The wound on Gang Zi’s neck was very small. It looked like it was caused by a sharp weapon. The flesh was slightly turned out, and blood was slowly gushing out of the wound.
The wound was not serious. It would heal itself without even stopping the bleeding. However, Pig Head Rong frowned slightly. He subconsciously looked at Black Wolf beside him. “What kind of weapon do you think this is?”
“From the wound, it seems to have been caused by an extremely sharp knife.
However, this mark is a little strange.”
As a mercenary, Black Wolf was still very professional at identifying wounds.
He carefully sized up the wound on Gang Zi’s neck and said uncertainly, “Normal knife wounds are straight, but this wound has a magnitude, and there are tearing marks in the second half. This is a little contradictory.”
Pig Head Rong nodded. He understood what Black Wolf meant. The wound on Gang Zi’s neck was small, which meant that the weapon that hurt him was very sharp. Otherwise, the wound would not be so thin.
And the resistance to a sharp weapon would definitely be very small, so the incision would be flat. However, the second half of the wound on Gang Zi’s neck suddenly bent. There were also traces of tearing on his flesh. This was the typical blunt knife wound.
What kind of weapon could cause two completely different effects on the same wound?
“Did you see what weapon the other party used to injure you?” Pig Head Rong said with a burning gaze.
“It’s this.” Gang Zi finally remembered what he was holding. He stretched out his hand in front of Pig Head Rong.
Pig Head Rong was stunned. That was because it was a leaf.
Maple Leaf!
From the thickness and shape of the leaves, it indeed matched the characteristics of the wound on Gang Zi’s neck. However, this was only a leaf! How could anyone cut a person’s neck with a leaf?
No, it was not just a cut. In fact, three people’s necks had been completely cut open and they had died because of it.
Three, Bobcat, and Skinny Monkey!
Yes, Pig Head Rong had already confirmed that the figure Gang Zi was talking about was the saber expert. He was not a ghost, he was a human! However, if it was a human, how could it kill with leaves?! Could it be that there was really such an ability to pluck leaves and injure people in the world?
How was this possible! It was impossible that the true qi and internal energy in folklore and even martial arts novels were real, right? Even if what the martial arts novels said was true, it would take decades of cultivation to achieve this effect, right?
And the target that Pig Head Rong had always suspected, that streamer Su Yun was only a young man in his twenties!
This was complete nonsense! Moreover, Su Yun should not know where they were.
If it wasn’t him, then who was it?
Could it be that he was the descendant of the guardian of the tomb?
Pig Head Rong knew that after the ancient nobles, such as emperors, died, they would place a mausoleum guard unit near the tomb. The only mission of these tomb guardians was to reproduce near the tomb and guard it for generations.
For example, until the modern era, the Qingdong Tomb was still guarded by the descendants of the tomb guardians..
