"Second Master, this should be the Subduing Dragon Stone Tablet that Old Liu mentioned to block the main tomb.”
"Second Master, there's not a single sound inside.”
"Open the door. I want to see the person alive and the corpse dead.”
A firm and angry voice came from outside the Subduing Dragon Stone Tablet into the main tomb. Zhou Tong was familiar with this voice. It was the voice of his master, the current Second Master.
However, Zhou Tong had never heard the Second Master's voice like this before. Anger mixed with worry.
Soon after, Zhou Tong heard the crackling sounds of knocking outside the Subduing Dragon Stone Stele. It seemed that they were planning to demolish it by force.
Only now did Zhou Tong realize that the torch that had been standing in the corner had been extinguished at some point, but he could clearly see all the decorations in the tomb, no different from when the torch was lit.
"Hehe, I didn't expect to awaken the ability of night vision. I wonder if I have the ability to live without oxygen.”
Zhou Tong smiled bitterly. He hadn't noticed it just now, but now that he saw the torch extinguish, he realized that the oxygen in the main tomb was already insufficient.
As the oxygen became scarce, Zhou Tong's every movement consumed more and more energy.
It would not be a big problem if he was at his peak condition, but now that he was in such a state, it was like a fool's dream to open the door.
"Just sit here and wait. I hope Master can open the door before the oxygen is completely exhausted.”
Zhou Tong slumped in the corner of the wall. As the oxygen concentration decreased, Zhou Tong's consciousness gradually began to blur.
Just as he was about to fall into a coma, he saw a flash of fire appear in front of the Subduing Dragon Stone Tablet. Following that, a cold wind blew into the main tomb.
To Zhou Tong, this cool breeze was like a life-saving medicine, bringing him the oxygen to keep him alive.
"Ahem…Cough…"
With enough oxygen, Zhou Tong coughed twice, and the people outside the Subduing Dragon Stone Stele stopped what they were doing for a moment when they heard the coughing.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and dig, little tyrant is still panting? Little tyrant? If you're still alive, let me know.”
"Alright, stop fooling around. Hurry up and dig. There isn't any light in the main tomb. Zhou Tong should be lacking in oxygen.”
When Zhou Tong heard this, the first person to speak was Old Li, who had become Sand City's Three Lowly Crooks along with Old Zhang and Old Liu. The main reason why he was called Sand City's Three Lowly Crooks.
The three of them had foul mouths, liked to joke, and liked to drink. Moreover, the three of them had a child of about the same age. Among them, Old Li's child was a girl, while Old Zhang and Old Liu's child was a boy.
The second person to speak was his master. Judging from his voice, Second Master relaxed when he heard his voice.
He didn't speak as seriously as before.
The hole grew bigger and bigger until it was big enough for an adult to enter.
Then, a man holding a torch came in. He was as thin as a monkey. This person was Old Li.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. As expected of our little tyrant. He's so ruthless. He can even kill a bloody corpse. Why don't you become my son-in-law?”
"Old Li, don't waste your breath inside. Quickly bring Zhou Tong out.”
"Second Master, don't worry. Our little tyrant is still in high spirits. He nailed the bloody corpse to the wall.”
Old Li placed the torch in his hand to the side, then carried Zhou Tong on his back and walked towards the door.
"How is it now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"Hehe, Master, I killed the bloody corpse.”
Zhou Tong's voice was now like phlegm in his throat, his voice unusually hoarse.
"Alright, I know you're capable, but don't take such risks next time. Old Li, come out. Let's go back to Sand City.”
"Master, there are treasures in that coffin! Aren't we going to take some?"
Zhou Tong's words caused the Second Master to stare blankly, while Old Li couldn't help but laugh in the tomb.
"Haha, Second Master, look, our little tyrant was born to be in this line of work. He's about to die, but he's still thinking about treasures!”
"Alright, don't think about the baby anymore. They'll take care of it. Let's go. Follow me to the hospital first to see if you've injured your muscles and bones.”
.........
A month later, Zhou Tong and Er Yuehong stood in front of two graves, their names written on the tombstones: Old Zhang and Old Liu.
Old Zhang had been breathing in less and exhaling more. His body was extremely weak. It was very rare for him to be able to hold on until he came out of the cave.
On the other hand, Old Liu had been poisoned in advance. He had been poisoned when he first took the treasure. After a long battle, his blood circulation had increased.
Poisoned and injured, he died within a few days of returning to Sand City, while Zhou Tong lay in the hospital for a month.
Although he had developed well, he was still young and his bones were tough enough, but they were still a little lacking in strength. When he had been thrown against the wall by the Blood Corpse, most of Zhou Tong's bones had already cracked.
Even with Zhou Tong's Six Treasury Immortal Thief's martial arts, he had to lie in the hospital for a full month before he could fully recover.
"Alright, don't be sad. This is our fate.”
"Master, actually…"
"Don't feel burdened. Since Old Zhang and Old Liu chose to open the shop, it means that they are greedy.”
"They paid for their greed. This is what they deserve. Moreover, you covered for them.”
"So you didn't let them down. Instead, because of their greed, you almost died in the tomb.”
The Second Master patted Zhou Tong on the shoulder, comforting him, hoping that he would not be unable to recover from this incident.
"I understand, Master. Liu Quan and Zhang Bao will follow me from now on!”
Liu Quan and Zhang Bao were the children of Old Liu and Old Zhang respectively. They were both eight years old this year. Due to a plague in the early years, the two children lost their mothers early on.
"Okay, I'll get Old Li to bring them back to our house later. Let's go!”
Although Zhou Tong had said that this accident was not entirely his fault, it was still inextricably linked to him.
Zhou Tong's decision to bring Zhang Bao and Liu Quan along was also partly to make up for his mistake!
The two of them returned to Sand City and strolled along the streets. A woman about the same age as the Second Master walked up to them, pulling along a little girl about the same age as Zhou Tong.
"Second Master, long time no see. This... This should be the Second Master's disciple, that little tyrant Zhou Tong who single-handedly killed a bloody corpse, right?”
"Third Aunt, it has indeed been some time since we last met. Zhou Tong, this is Third Aunt Huo, the head of the Huo Clan.”
"This brat Zhou Tong greets Third Aunt Huo.”
"Hmm, not bad. You do look a little like your master back then! Little Seven, this is your Big Brother Zhou Tong. You guys go to the side and play. I have something to discuss with Second Master.”
Second Master could tell that Third Aunt Huo had something to discuss with him, so he instructed Zhou Tong to bring Seventh Miss out for a stroll, and when he was done, he could return on his own.
Zhou Tong knew that this Seventh Young Lady should be Fairy Huo, who had appeared later. She indeed looked pink and tender, like a porcelain doll.
"Big brother Zhou Tong, where are we going to play?”
"I don't know. I'm just strolling around! I don't know where to go either."
Little Fairy Huo saw that Zhou Tong had gone off to do something, and after her eyes darted around, she seemed to be thinking of some evil idea.
"How about this, Big Brother Zhou Tong? I'll bring you to see some good stuff. I guarantee you'll like it.”
With that said, she led Zhou Tong to the Wu residence. She didn't use the main entrance. Little Fairy Huo quickly climbed up the wall along a nearby tree, seemingly preparing to climb over the wall.
"Come on, come on up. The Wu family has a treasure. You can still move it!”
Zhou Tong didn't think too much about it, following the tree and climbing up the wall. After all, no one would have thought that such a cute little girl would harm people.
Please, have pity on this child!
