Huo Sining’s colonel rank was obtained without merit, having no real power, just for show. However, the shooting skills she honed during military training were not just boasting.

Though she had used standard pistols before, she easily fired two shots at Fujiwara Seiho, each hitting his calves.

Struck by these two shots, Fujiwara Seiho fell to the ground in pain, unable to move.

Huo Sining couldn’t help but allow a cold smile to form on her lips. Liang Ruicheng and the Oil Rat looked blankly at the empty air, glanced at Fujiwara Seiho, who was shot on the ground, and turned pale with fear, trembling all over. In the next moment, they both knelt and began to kowtow towards the stone coffin.

"Immortal Grandfather, no matter who you are, we meant no offense, we apologize for disturbing you. We’re leaving now, we’ll get out right away!"

The two kowtowed awkwardly, faces filled with fear and horror, clearly not understanding what was really happening, thinking they’d angered the tomb’s master and that he was retaliating against Fujiwara Seiho and the others.

Huo Sining, hiding invisibly nearby, found their ridiculous act amusing.

After watching coldly for a while, Huo Sining rolled her eyes, trying to figure out a way to scare these two to teach Liang Ruicheng and the Oil Rat a lesson.

Just as she was about to plan their fate, she unexpectedly heard voices coming from the passageway. Several beams of light shone in, accompanied by irregular footsteps.

"Captain, I really heard a sound, let’s not go in, just check at the stone gate. If there’s nobody inside, we can return!"

"We’re guarding outside, and not even a fly can get in, how could anyone have entered the ancient tomb? Are you stressed and hearing things?"

"Alright, let’s go in and check. If there is an issue, we can’t bear the responsibility. Everyone be careful, inside don’t touch anything, otherwise if blamed from above, I can’t cover for you..."

The sound came from the entrance to the ancient tomb. Huo Sining immediately frowned, and the expressions of the others inside the tomb changed too.

Originally in agony and curled on the ground, Fujiwara Seiho’s face went pale upon hearing the voices. He glanced at Etsuko Misaki, who was unconscious on the ground, and the bodyguard, without any hesitation, took something from his pocket and smashed it onto the ground.

A loud explosion sounded, and the ping pong ball-sized object Fujiwara Seiho threw into the center of the tomb began to emit thick white smoke, enveloping the entire tomb in an instant.

It was a smoke bomb!

Huo Sining realized that things were not looking good. As the smoke spread, the pungent smell filled the air, causing intense coughing inside the tomb. The little creature Qibao was the first to be affected.

At this moment, a few special forces officers came to the main chamber entrance. Seeing the thick white smoke and hearing coughing inside, they instantly realized something was wrong.

"Someone is really there, quick, Xiao Liu, go and notify Professor Xie! There’s been an incident!"

One officer urgently instructed.

Simultaneously, several strong flashlights shone through the smoke, and the officer shouted loudly:

"All of you inside listen up, you are surrounded by us, drop your weapons and surrender, or don’t blame us for being ruthless!"

Seeing this, Huo Sining knew the situation was bad. Without hesitation, she threw Qibao into Space and picked up the electric baton, using it on the Oil Rat and Liang Ruicheng kneeling on the ground.

In the dense white fog, the Oil Rat and Liang Ruicheng started convulsing and soon collapsed onto the ground.

Huo Sining intended to use the baton on Fujiwara Seiho next, but upon approaching, she found that Fujiwara Seiho had already vanished!

Damned, that cunning Dongyang guy got away!

Huo Sining gritted her teeth secretly, knowing she couldn’t delay any longer. Reluctantly, she glanced at the empty ground one last time, turned, and headed towards the stone coffin.

There Mr. Huang and Miss Yue were supporting Mr. Liang, preparing to escape, but due to Mr. Liang’s serious injuries, their pace was evidently slow. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Seeing this, Huo Sining quickly dispelled the Invisibility Spell, revealing herself, and urgently caught up with the three: "Miss Yue, please wait!"

Miss Yue and Mr. Huang, upon hearing this, stopped and turned to look at Huo Sining.

Miss Yue showed some gratitude on her face and smiled: "Thanks for your help today..."

Miss Yue wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Huo Sining: "Let’s discuss this after we’re out, at your pace, you won’t get far."

With this, Huo Sining didn’t bother hiding from them anymore and took Mr. Liang, storing him inside the storage ring.

A living person vanished right before their eyes, causing Miss Yue’s eyes to widen, while Mr. Huang’s eyes flashed with surprise but quickly returned to calm: "Let’s go!"

Huo Sining didn’t doubt and followed them straight out.

This group did not enter from the passage entrance, but directly dug a tunnel through the back burial area, completely avoiding the special forces, leaving no trace.

The tunnel could only accommodate one person crawling through. Huo Sining followed Mr. Huang and Miss Yue, and once out, she noticed they were several kilometers away from the reservoir.

The discovery of the ancient tomb beneath the reservoir was only a few days ago, yet the tunnel was dug so far, truly impressive engineering.

Seeming to notice the astonishment and confusion in Huo Sining’s eyes, Mr. Huang explained: "The tunnel was dug by the short guy we saw earlier, called Oil Rat. The name is comical, but he’s famous in the tomb raiding industry. His tunneling skills surpass even the rodents underground. He managed to dig this tunnel in just one day and night."

The tunnel extended into the tomb, resembling a funnel spillway. Yet, such a tunnel was dug by one person alone, a remarkable feat; indeed, Oil Rat is a genius!

Internally, Huo Sining couldn’t help but be amazed. She had tracked Oil Rat all the way from City C to Xianyang. After the incident at Xianyang Ancient Tomb, this old fox escaped, only to meet him again at this underwater tomb and witness his tunneling skill, truly extraordinary.
