Tomb raiding: Today is another day I don't want to go home.

Chapter 155 Cannon Fodder Husky

Among these people are many desperate criminals. If Wu Xie makes any rash moves, he may be shot dead. So it's best to stay put.

"I have no intention of being your enemy, because I also have important matters to attend to. However, I am alone and the road ahead may be more dangerous, so I would like to do you a favor and cooperate with you all."

As Yan Chen spoke, his expression remained impassive, as if his sharp retort just moments before was merely an illusion, and as if he had genuinely wanted to join in.

However, the person with the strangest expression after hearing this was Wu Xie—Brother… if you want to cooperate, then cooperate, why are you asking for favors? I’m just a hostage scouting the way! It would be strange if they appreciated your favor!

Sure enough, after exchanging glances, Taishu and the others let out a sneer.

"Cooperate with us?" Sanmazi looked Yan Chen up and down with disdain, his expression somewhat meaningful. "You're all alone. What makes you think you can get us to cooperate with you?"

wow——

Before Yan Chen could reply, the river not far away stirred again; it was taimen.

Its entire body was covered in dark blue scales, which splashed water as it rose into the air and fell back down. Its movements were agile and swift, and it was done in the blink of an eye.

Even after the water calmed down, everyone still felt that the strange fish was still lurking beneath the surface of the river.

Yan Chen glanced at the solemn and wary expressions of Tai Shu and the others, thought for a moment, and then said, "Didn't you want to know my abilities? Here you go, I'll help you deal with the taimen, and then you'll agree to my joining."

Taishu met Yanchen's gaze; one was probing, the other was frank.

"How do you plan to solve this?"

Yan Chen smiled, his face so beautiful it was mesmerizing. Before anyone could react, he had already turned and jumped into the river…

From a distance, Black Glasses watched Yan Chen's actions and couldn't help but sigh, "Hey Yan Xiaohuai, it's one thing to lack patience for watching a show, but no matter what, you can't urge your brother to jump into the river! Truly brothers, huh?"

Yanhuai: "..."

This is called teamwork, you know?! And they're even encouraging someone to jump into the river...

Yan Huai gritted his teeth and endured it, but in the end he couldn't swallow his anger and kicked out.

A row of bushes, barely noticeable in the primeval forest, suddenly trembled violently, but no one except the person directly involved noticed...

Looking back at the riverbank, Yan Chen soon threw a huge, terrifying salmon head onto the bank in a simple and brutal manner.

Because he was worried about the safety of his savior, Wu Xie, who was closest to the riverbank, was so frightened when a bloody salmon head suddenly came crashing down on his face that he fell to the ground.

If Lao Yang hadn't reacted quickly and pulled him back, this guy would either have been crushed to death by the fish head, or he would have fallen back into the river and swallowed a few more mouthfuls of water. Seriously, his luck was just unbelievable...

As for Yan Chen, who was completely unaware of this, the first thing he saw when he surfaced was Wu Xie's still-shaken expression.

My gaze slowly shifted to the taimen's head... Okay, case solved.

Yan Chen smiled sheepishly, then quickly swam back to shore, flipped himself over, and reached out to help Wu Xie up.

"Sorry... I thought there was no one on the shore."

"No, it's nothing..." After regaining his senses, Wu Xie felt that his reaction just now was quite embarrassing, so he took the opportunity to ask about Yan Chen's situation and decisively changed the subject, "Are you alright?"

"I am fine."

Yan Chen asked Wu Xie to help him get the branding knife while he started to wring out his robes, which had become heavy after being soaked in the river. But when he spoke again, it was clear that he was addressing Tai Shu and the others.

"The taimen problem has been solved, the river is safe now, you can cross."
