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

Chapter 135 Cherish, but never restrict.

"never mind……"

Having saved a ticking time bomb, Yan Huai felt a pang of sadness and regret. He gently patted Zhang Qiling's back, and following the other's force, slowly released his grip.

The two were currently in a safe position, and the timed monster bomb had no chance to trigger the mechanism, so the route ahead remained unchanged, but caution was still required.

That's right, the distance is too close...

Zhang Qiling glanced at Yan Huai's half-baked shoulder, then moved back a little, but not far, at most a fist's distance, because there was a wall behind him, and he couldn't stick close to it to avoid triggering the mechanism.

"clothing!"

"Ah? Oh right!"

After realizing what had happened, Yan Huai smiled sheepishly. He took off his tattered clothes, revealing his well-defined pectoral muscles and other clearly defined cleavage to Zhang Qiling. This caught Zhang Qiling off guard and made her hold her breath involuntarily.

However, what doesn't quite fit is that after Yan Huai took out the new clothes from his space, he put them on directly, without any concept of showing off in front of Zhang Qiling.

So much so that Qi Yu, who was waiting for the two of them to make a leap forward in their relationship, secretly ran rampant in Zhang Qiling's sea of ​​consciousness. In human terms, its current state was one of disappointment and frustration!

"Okay, let's go!"

Yan Huai straightened his clothes, then naturally took Zhang Qiling's wrist, which finally calmed Qi Yu down.

A few dozen meters further on, the traces of burnt pepper disappeared, indicating that Black Glasses and Xie Lianrui must have entered the third level of the underground palace from nearby.

Zhang Qiling realized this as well, and he moved his wrist to signal Yan Huai to let go of him.

There was no danger here anymore, Yan Huai knew that very well, but he was still extremely unwilling. However, the person right in front of him was both the source of this unwillingness and the nemesis that would overcome it.

What else could Yan Huai say? He couldn't say anything! Except...

"Be careful."

Zhang Qiling gave a simple reply and turned his head away, no longer looking at Yan Huai's expression—form is emptiness, emptiness is form, and having empty eyes could prevent his heart from being impacted again.

The unusually long finger of the tomb raider lightly traced along the wall of the secret passage. Yan Huai followed behind Zhang Qiling, neither too close nor too far, until the latter's finger stopped on a certain stone brick...

Zhang Qiling was inspired by the rollers inside the stone bricks; the mechanism was there.

Click——

A short, sharp clicking sound indicated that the floor tiles not far behind the two people suddenly opened, releasing a foul odor of an unknown blood substance.

"It's a mechanism; it will close when you release it." It's a pressure-sensitive device; unless someone keeps pressing it, the mechanism will close quickly.

"Cover your nose, let's go down." Yan Huai put his arm around Zhang Qiling, and the two of them quickly darted into the mechanism. They had already fallen quite a distance when the sound of the mechanism closing came from above.

Yan Huai's speed is quite fast, as Zhang Qiling has always been keenly aware of. From choking on water in the underwater tomb to now leaping 100 meters in a single bound, he leaves his original position almost without even feeling the wind. This speed is beyond the normal range of human cognition.

After entering the gate, there is a square, deep well, about twenty meters deep, resembling a sewer opening.

Zhang Qiling initially covered his nose as Yan Huai had suggested, but seeing that Yan Huai neither covered his nose nor held his breath, he simply let go. His first instinct was to cover Yan Huai's nose too, but it turned out this guy was just being cautious of him…
