Chapter 287 -283 Taotie: Old Tom, I’m Coming to Get You
Watching Taotie dash quickly back the way they had come, Fang Xiaocao sighed helplessly and sat down where she had just been lying.
Without Taotie by her side, Fang Xiaocao didn’t dare to move recklessly, fearing she might accidentally trigger a trap. Here though, where she had just been lying, she could be sure there were no traps.
Hummingbird stood by, keeping Fang Xiaocao company.
Before leaving, Taotie had specifically instructed her.
To keep a close eye on Fang Xiaocao, in case something unexpected happened.
Should anything go wrong, Taotie would hold Hummingbird responsible when he returned.
That iron blockhead, Taotie, was a steel straight-man who knew nothing of compassion or tenderness, and Hummingbird certainly didn’t want to get punished by Taotie for no good reason.
With Fang Xiaocao behind him, Taotie was without worry.
A distance of a dozen meters, just a few seconds’ walk.
Soon, Taotie saw the huge pit.
He estimated it to be about nine meters wide.
Just a meter less than the ten-meter pit the Old Tomb Robber had seen, which was already terrifying.
Taotie stood at the edge of the pit, looking down into it, searching for traces of Tom.
Soon, Taotie spotted the Flying Claw Rope.
Looking down along the Flying Claw Rope,
he saw Tom hanging upside down on the rope, holding a black dagger, sawing off a wooden spear shaft.
Seeing this, Taotie laughed.
“I knew it, a calamity that lasts a thousand years!”
“Old Tom would definitely not be in trouble.”
Taotie chuckled merrily to himself.
He took out his terminal and sent a message to Fang Xiaocao.
[Taotie: Princess Your Highness rest assured, Old Tom isn’t dead, he’s figuring out a way to escape. I’ll go help him, and we’ll be right back!]
After reassuring Fang Xiaocao, Taotie put away the terminal and stood at the edge of the pit, looking around. There weren’t many spears on the edge of the pit, and from here, there were places to step down.
Confident in a safe landing, Taotie no longer hesitated, removed Tom’s backpack, and during a bombardment, found Tom’s Flying Claw.
Taotie aimed the Claw Launcher at the overhead beam and pressed the launcher.
With a “whoosh,” the Flying Claw shot out.
Among a burst of sparks, it firmly grasped the beam.
Taotie connected the Flying Claw Rope to his tactical belt and, holding the rope, slowly slid down into the pit.
Safely landed, Taotie unbuckled the rope from his tactical belt and drew a dagger from his waist.
Although the chance of living creatures in this kind of pit was not very high, Taotie still did not take it lightly, just in case there were any living creatures.
Ancient tombs were a sinister affair.
There is a saying, “Caution is the parent of safety!”
You only live once, better safe than sorry.
Taotie gripped a spear, exerting force secretly.
Immediately, Taotie felt delighted.
There was a door, it could be swung open!
“Hehe~”
Taotie smirked mischievously.
“In ancient times, Lu Zhishen pulled up willows, today Taotie saves the day by pulling out a spear.”
Taotie muttered, put the dagger in his mouth, and with a low shout, exerted his full strength with his arms.
The spear, buried deep in the ground, was pulled out whole by Taotie with a resonant sound.
“What a spear!”
Looking at the two-meter-long spear in his hand, gleaming with a dark light, Taotie couldn’t help but cheer.
After testing the edge of the spearhead, though it had been in the pit for hundreds of years, the blade was still extremely sharp. The material was not inferior at all to his high-tech Mountain Splitter Dagger; Taotie was very satisfied.
He secretly decided to take a few spearheads back with him, have the department responsible for custom equipment in Blacklist attach extensible metal spear shafts, and make it part of his standard gear.
It would definitely be more useful than the Mountain Splitter Dagger!
By then, with a Mountain Splitter Dagger in one hand and a spear in the other, he would slay gods if gods blocked his way, and kill Buddhas if Buddhas stood in his path!
Taotie shook the spear with his arms vigorously; the spear shaft was very resilient, trembling three times with Taotie’s force.
This made Taotie even more satisfied.
The only downside was that it was a bit too long.
The two-meter spear could not be maneuvered in the tomb passage.
Taotie swung the spear around, looking at the forest of spears before him. A flash of cold light twinkled in his eyes as the muscles in his arms bulged instantaneously, writhing as if small mice were scurrying within.
“Ha!”
Taotie roared softly and exerted himself to swing the spear.
The spear, with a whistling wind, swept through the forest of spears like a mighty force sweeping away thousands of troops.
A crisp “click” sounded.
The forest of spears before Taotie instantly fell in swathes, but the spear in his hand also broke.
Taotie grimaced, placed the broken spear on the ground, and stomped on it, snapping the shaft connected to the spearhead and picking up the spearhead to put it in the clip pocket at his waist.
As for the clip…
It had been emptied long ago, and he had no idea where he had thrown it.
Taotie followed suit, picking up about ten spearheads before he reluctantly stopped.
It wasn’t that Taotie didn’t want to take more, but rather that he only had so many pockets for clips on him.
In Tom’s backpack, there was a pile of explosives.
Taotie didn’t dare to put in more, for fear of accidentally setting off a bomb.
Taotie pulled out another spear and, using the same sweeping move, swept at the forest of spears before him.
Taotie wanted to clear a path to reach Tom.
After clearing a path of three to four meters, Taotie stopped to stretch his limbs a bit.
Even for Taotie, akin to a brute bull, the effort was exhausting. This path of three to four meters wasn’t made without breaking numerous spears.
Taotie sat down on the ground to rest for a while.
“Old Tom, I’m coming to get you!”
Taotie shouted at the top of his lungs towards Tom.
“Huh?”
Tom, who was busy sawing a wooden pole, paused and shook his head, staring with bloodshot eyes around in confusion, “Strange, am I hallucinating?”
“How come I heard Taotie’s blockheaded voice?”
Tom muttered to himself, grabbed the flying claw rope, and rotated his body back to ease the discomfort of prolonged upside-down hanging.
Taotie sat on the ground, listening intently.
After a long while, he heard no response from Tom.
Taotie scratched his hair and got up from the ground.
Yelling at the top of his lungs, he shouted, “Old Tom?”
“Are you still alive?”
“I’m coming to get you!”
“If you’re alive, give me a sound!”
Tom, who had just turned around to rest, this time heard loud and clear.
“Taotie really came?”
Tom blinked, murmuring in confusion.
“Taotie, where the hell are you?”
Overwhelmed by surprise, Tom couldn’t help but curse out loud.
Hearing Tom’s response, Taotie was elated.
“I’m over here!”

Taotie pulled out a spear, raised it above his head, and waved it continuously, signaling to Tom.
“Stop shaking it, I see it!”
Seeing the spear, Tom shouted back.
“Old Tom, stop sawing the wood.”
“You don’t need to be a carpenter!”
“Just wait, I’m clearing a path to get you!”
Taotie yelled loudly.
Upon saying this, Taotie immediately started working again.
He raised his arm and delivered a sweeping blow.
Casually tossing aside the broken spear in his hand, he pulled out another spear and continued his sweeping assault.
