"Fatty, stop crying and howling like a ghost. These plum blossom arrows don't hurt, they're just poisonous.”
After the traps stopped, Long Hao picked up a plum blossom arrow from the ground and walked over. He pulled Fatty Wang up.
"Aiyo! Lord Fatty is fine? That's great!"
Fatty Wang stood up and turned around, his hands stroking his back. It was a comical sight.
"Fatty, this arrow has hit me quite a few times, but I don't feel any pain at all. Instead, I feel that you're pressing on me and hurting me even more.”
Wu Xie looked at Fatty Wang and teased him with a smile. Seeing Fatty Wang come over to save him without any regard for his own safety, Wu Xie was actually filled with gratitude.
"What happened?"
At this moment, the baldy who had gone to chase the unknown creature returned.
"Little brother, how long are you going to pretend?”
Seeing this, Long Hao's figure flashed and appeared in front of Zhang Qi Ling. He reached out his hand and was about to grab his hood.
"Ah Ning must have deliberately stepped on the trap to stop you.”
"Wu Xie, Fatty, we meet again!”
As Baldy Zhang spoke, he tore the hood off his neck, revealing Zhang Qi Ling's face.
"Oh my, this is really Little Brother!"
"Wu Xie, do you believe me? Baldy Zhang, who had been blabbering before, was actually a stuffy oil bottle. This shocked Lord Fatty too much. His acting skills were comparable to the best actor.”
When Fatty Wang saw that Baldy Zhang was really the little brother Zhang Qi Ling, he was completely stunned. Then, he clicked his tongue in wonder and exclaimed in disbelief.
Wu Xie, on the other hand, rushed over and hugged the little brother tightly, radiating passion.
After returning to his true form, Zhang Qi Ling became a stuffy oil bottle again. He didn't say anything, but frowned and looked around as if he was looking for something.
"This stone door can't be opened anymore. That bitch, Ah Ning, has tricked us again. The next time I see him, Lord Fatty will definitely not let her off.”
Fatty Wang was unwilling to give up. He went forward to push the stone door, but found that it did not budge. He could only continue to curse Ah Ning.
"Fatty, don't waste your energy. Let's go rest for a while and see if we can find a way to leave this place.”
...
Soon, the four of them returned to the outer chamber to drink water and rest.
"Brother, Brother Long, don't you think it's strange? Ah Ning tried every possible means to get a group of people to explore the seabed tomb and even specially called us over. In the end, she deliberately stepped on the trap to frame us. What was her true purpose?”
Wu Xie was filled with confusion. His gaze slowly shifted between Long Hao, the little brother, and Fatty Wang, as if he wanted to find an answer from everyone.
"Sigh, you're so naive. I'm not trying to criticize you, but this woman, Ah Ning, is not a good person, and you still believe her. The next time she saw her, she would definitely give him a big slap like Brother Long did.”
"According to Lord Fatty, she must be envious of our good fighting skills. She asked us to scout the way and then killed the donkey after we got rid of it. This underwater tomb is a bucket of oil. How could she share it with us?”
Fatty Wang had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only continue to slander Ah Ning.
"It's useless for you to say so much. We have to be prepared for the difficulties now. We have to find another exit as soon as possible. As for Ah Ning's purpose or what kind of person she is, we'll talk about it later.”
Long Hao looked at Fatty Wang and Wu Xie speechlessly. One liked to say disheartening words, while the other liked to analyze blindly.
"Yes, Brother Long makes sense. Let's go back first. We might need the oxygen tank when we go back.”
Wu Xie nodded in agreement and suggested that they retrieve the equipment first.
...
"Eh, did I see a ghost? Or is our oxygen tank like that vase that can walk on its own?”
When everyone returned to the ear room, they found that all the equipment had disappeared, as if they did not exist at all.
"No, we went the wrong way. The tunnels here are exactly the same. If there weren't any markings, it would be very difficult to mark them.”
Long Hao raised his flashlight and looked around. Then, he looked at Wu Xie and Fatty Wang with certainty.
"No, there's only one way back. How can there be a mistake?”
"Little brother, what do you think?"
Wu Xie felt that everything was ridiculous, and this place was strange. He turned to look at Zhang Qi Ling, wanting to hear his opinion.
"Wu Xie, I heard Ah Ning mention something before.”
Before Zhang Qi Ling could say anything, Fatty Wang had already squeezed his way over and started explaining what Ah Ning had told him to everyone.
Long Hao, Wu Xie, and the others listened to Fatty Wang's speech while checking the cultural relics in the ear chamber to see if there was anything different.
When Wu Xie heard that they were going to the Xisha Submarine Tomb for the second time, that Wu Sansheng was also participating in the expedition, and that they were going to hear about the Snake-Browed Bronze Fish, he became excited.
"Fatty, I understand, I understand everything!”
"Naive, what do you understand?"
"I understand why Third Uncle wants to cooperate with Ah Ning again. It's because he wants to enter the underwater tomb. His goal is the Snake Browed Copper Fish.”
Combined with what Old Mrs. Huo had said before, that there were also snake-browed copper fish in the Xisha seabed tomb, Wu Xie had already guessed Wu Sansheng's motive. He also realized that Third Uncle might have deliberately lied to Ah Ning and the others.
"I've already been to this place!”
At this time, Zhang Qi Ling seemed to remember something and suddenly told Wu Xie that he had been to this place.
Fatty Wang and Wu Xie had seen the photos of the Xisha Underwater Tomb expedition team. There was Zhang Qi Ling's figure on it. Now that he said this, could it really be him?
At this moment, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were both extremely surprised.
"I vaguely remember coming here, but I lost my memory and can't remember anything else. My name must have been on the list of the archaeological team back then.”
Zhang Qi Ling turned to Wu Xie and said with certainty.
"Wu Xie, that notebook."
Long Hao spoke, reminding Wu Xie of the photo in the notebook of the ghost ship. Zhang Qi Ling's name was written at the back.
"What notebook? That archeological team was decades ago. If the little brother joined the archeological team, he should be about the same age as Third Uncle Wu Xie.”
Fatty Wang shook his head and expressed his strong doubts about Zhang Qi Ling's words.
"I also want to know what happened here. Why did I lose my memory and why I haven't aged.”,
Zhang Qi Ling stared at Fatty Wang expressionlessly. He was even more confused.
