14 Tomb Robbery Ques (2/2)

Then, he breathed his last.

Even though Happy knew that everything before him was just fabricated by Artificial Intelligence (AI), the display of humanity in the NPCs and the feeling he had when he saw it made him sense the indignation, regret, and the sentimental attachment toward life the villagers had before they died.

His expression turned gloomy.

”Boss, they're all dealt with.”

”Hmph.”

”At least these people didn't die in vain. They did help us do some work.”

”Alright, enough talk. Get to work!”

The dialogue between the tomb robbers made Happy snap out of his dejected mood. His gaze cleared, and he held his breath. His thoughts raced as he lay hidden behind the tomb.

There was no doubt that the people before him were the tomb robbers who had been very active lately, and they were his real targets.

'If I hadn't chosen to observe the situation, I might have missed this group of real villains…' Happy felt that the situation was very grave. In truth, he was in a rather difficult position.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

The tomb raider group was not large, since there were only three people in it.

But all of them were people who could kill others without batting an eye.

They were also much more powerful than Villain Li Shan. Happy might be able to stop them from digging up the tomb if he fired the signal, but that would also reveal himself.

To three villains who killed without batting an eye, especially tomb robbers who possessed hidden weapons, it was very easy to kill a normal player who was new to the game and had yet to even reach Gate Realm!

Happy agonized over whether he should fire the signal flare or continue hiding until the tomb raiders left on their own after they dug out the grave goods in the tomb.

He was troubled.

If he chose the former, he would be able to complete the quest, but the possibility of him being killed would be more than 90%. If he chose the latter, he would fail his first clan quest given by the Murong Clan, and his reputation and status in the Murong Clan would be greatly reduced.

Yet the system gave him no new prompts!

In the silent night, the sounds of digging could be heard again.

'If I die, then so be it!'

A hint of resolution and decisiveness flashed in Happy's eyes. He quietly took a few steps back until he was a few tombs away from the tomb robbers and dug out the signal flare.

Hiss!

A frightening spark and a faint sound suddenly rose in the quiet shadows of the night.

”Someone's here!”

”Third!”

The three tomb robbers jumped out of the tomb at the same time. They were just in time to witness a fire-red light shoot into the sky and the figure of a boy be completely revealed at the spot where the light had arisen. He was at the gate of the cemetery, and he was heading down the mountain. This both shocked and enraged the tomb robbers.

”It's the signal flare from the Murong Clan!”

”We've been discovered…”

”What should we do?”

Two of the tomb robbers went to chase after Happy while waiting for their leader's decision.

Their leader was a middle-aged man with a ruthless face. He was pale, and his expression was cold and harsh.

”He should be a disciple recently taken in by the Murong Clan, so he is not very skilled. It's a pity, but he saw our faces. Third, chase him down and kill him. Then, we'll immediately leave. Meet up with us at our old place.” Once he said that, he turned around and walked away.

”Got it!” Third said.

The other tomb robber who had been involved in the chase turned around without hesitation and left the area as well.
