Donald's eyes seemed to flash with anger, his chest heaving as he said resentfully, "Don't touch her."
Chu Lin smiled slyly: "That depends on whether Mr. Tang cooperates."
It's incredibly difficult to investigate people associated with Donald.
That old fox is cunning; before he caught him, he had already automatically deleted all information related to himself.
It took him a long time to find out that the other party had an apprentice.
Once a person has a weakness, they will inevitably compromise for it.
Donald finally bit his chapped lips reluctantly and said in a hoarse voice, "I promise you."
Chu Lin: "Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier?"
The thought of him soon taking all the treasures from the ancient tomb and becoming incredibly wealthy, even surpassing Fu Yunchen, filled him with exhilaration, and he wanted nothing more than to laugh out loud.
Chu Lin then loudly announced: "Listen carefully, everyone. Next, Master Tang will lead us into the ancient tomb to search for treasure. You must follow closely. I will not be responsible for any accidents."
Everyone responded in unison.
Yi Tianran's gaze lingered on Donald for a few seconds before she looked away with difficulty.
...
The group quickly set off, and led by Donald, they navigated through a series of ingenious and meticulously designed traps.
Several times, if it weren't for his reminders, the group would have been nearly injured by hidden weapons, nearly poisoned by fumes, or even possibly roasted by fire...
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and we arrived at a heavy stone gate.
“Go and move those stones on the wall…” Donald whispered in Chu Lin’s ear, explaining the solution. “Once this mechanism is broken, and the first stone door is breached, there will be several boxes of treasure inside, all of them made of real gold.”
A glint of light flashed in Chu Lin's eyes, and he found an explorer to go with him.
Then, following the method Donald taught them, they cracked the mechanism.
The next second, with a loud bang, the stone door was opened in front of them, and glittering gold came into view.
Everyone was almost blinded by the light.
Chu Lin was the first to react, his eyes gleaming, and he excitedly stepped into the room.
The moment he stepped in, a sharp arrow shot out with a "whoosh".
The speed was so fast and fierce that there was no way to avoid it.
Seeing that the arrow was about to pierce his eye, he grabbed the explorer next to him without hesitation and blocked him in the next instant.
The arrow pierced straight into the explorer's forehead.
He was killed instantly, without even a scream.
An eerie silence fell over the room once again, and everyone stared wide-eyed.
If Chu Lin initially shot the woman because he suspected her identity, this... this is clearly using someone else's life to save himself from disaster!
However, Chu Lin didn't even blink. After using the other person as a shield, he not only felt no remorse, but also dragged the other person's body into the secret room, using them as a human shield to avoid danger.
Once he was sure there was no danger, he immediately put the body aside, squatted down and picked up the gold from the ground, his eyes filled with greed. "What are you waiting for? Pack all these treasures up!"
He immediately turned around and gave the order.
His group of dead men, without batting an eye, went in like ghosts and obeyed his orders, stuffing the gold into black bags.
"You..." Donald's face flushed with anger, "Chu Lin, you're a beast!"
What does he even value human life?
Upon hearing this, Chu Lin turned around with a cold face, walked step by step to Donald, and before he could react, punched him and sent him flying.
Donald had been worn down by the recent hardships and was unable to resist. He was slammed against the wall and bumped his head, causing him to grit his teeth in pain but unable to utter a single word.
Chu Lin was still unwilling to give up. He rushed forward again, grabbed Donald by the collar, and said with a ferocious expression, "Donald, don't think I don't know. You deliberately didn't remind me just now because you wanted to see me fall into the trap and be shot to death on the spot."
Do you think this will free you? I warn you, if you dare to try any more tricks to harm me, my men will make your disciple pay with his life!
As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his fist again and was about to smash it down.
If that punch landed, Donald would probably either pass out or cough up blood.
At the critical moment, Yi Tianran rushed forward and grabbed his fist.
Chu Lin's eyes swept over with a chilling, piercing gaze: "What do you want?"
It was as if he would kill her on the spot if she said even one wrong word.
Yi Tianran calmly reminded him, "If we really knock him unconscious or kill him, how will we solve the traps later? Isn't our mission to get all the treasure and leave this place as soon as possible?"
Chu Lin stared coldly at the woman in front of him, his eyes dangerous and terrifying.
Everyone unconsciously held their breath, afraid that he would suddenly explode without saying a word.
Although they had gathered a large group of people this time, it was still no match for the many people Chu Lin had brought with him.
If it really came down to a fight, they would definitely be no match for them.
Therefore, despite everyone's anger at Chu Lin's actions, many even guessed that he had summoned them here simply to use them as props.
But now, no one dares to resist.
Kaisa's heart leaped again, and she was ready to attack.
In the end, Chu Lin unexpectedly did not lose his temper. Instead, he coldly laughed and threw off Donald's collar, looking down at him condescendingly, "You better behave yourself. If there is a next time, you will bear the consequences."
Then he turned and left, ignoring Yi Tianran.
Yi Tianran felt relieved and extended her hand to Donald, "Are you alright?"
Donald slowly raised his head, initially puzzled as to why this person would help him, until he saw Yi Tianran secretly make a hand gesture to him.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
This gesture—
Besides him, only one other person knew.
At that moment, his heart trembled, and he had already guessed the identity of the person in front of him.
He was so emotional that it was hard to contain himself.
Since his arrest, the longer time has passed, the less hope he has.
He thought he would live until he died.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, his good apprentice Yi Tianran appeared in front of him.
The master and apprentice connected using hand gestures: "Master, let's work together to deal with Chu Lin and escape from here."
During the journey, Donald understood Yi Tianran's meaning through her gestures.
Knowing that her mechanical skills were no less than his own, Donald's resolve hardened.
After overcoming countless obstacles, the group arrived at the deepest part of the ancient tomb. Looking at the rows of neatly arranged artifacts, they felt a chill run down their spines and their hearts were filled with unease, causing them to tremble uncontrollably.
"What tricks are you playing now?" Chu Lin gritted his teeth and glanced at Donald beside him.
