Xiao Lan turned the light to its brightest, focusing on every tile in front of her with extreme caution.

As a mercenary, she took over countless jobs like killing people and looting their goods. However, this was really her first time robbing a tomb. If it wasn't for her partner Anya being the first one to take action, she would never have agreed to step into this underground palace.

At this moment, Anya, who was following closely behind Xiao Lan, had her attention focused on inspecting the surveying device in her hand. "Xiao Lan, turn left. We will reach the main tomb in twenty more meters."

Xiao Lan turned his head and looked at the surveyor in Anya's hand with a profound gaze. After a moment, he nodded his head and said calmly, "Alright."

Every step they took, their entire bodies would be tensed up and they were completely prepared. Even if no one blocked this ghastly place, it was still more dangerous than fighting against a huge army with thousands of men. Until now, they had already lost seven allies that could go down together.

After walking over ten meters, Xiao Lan suddenly stopped and stood on the spot, letting out a long breath. Because she was too nervous, her clothes were already soaked with sweat.

At this moment, she needed to slow down and relax a little. If she kept this up, she would be like a tight rubber band that would break at the very last moment. When that time came, she would have a life of her own.

Anya saw that Xiao Lan suddenly stopped moving and quickly asked with a nervous expression, "What's wrong?!"

Xiao Lan slightly raised his gaze with a steady expression. "It's fine, I'm taking a breath."

Only now did Anya, who had arrived behind Xiao Lan, realize that Xiao Lan's clothes were already drenched. For a moment, she couldn't bear to watch.

"Xiao Lan, you get six on the commission when we return this time. I get four."

Hearing this, Xiao Lan couldn't help but laugh. Such a generous Anya was indeed a rare sight. Xiao Lan looked at Anya as her smile gradually grew wider. "It's fine. Just wait until we go out and get the commission, then we'll split it ourselves according to the old rules."

As Xiao Lan spoke, she began to prepare to move forward.

Anya slowly curled the corners of her lips as she followed behind Xiao Lan. "You're really never greedy for money."

Xiao Lan, who was at the front, didn't respond. She only revealed a pained expression in a place Anya couldn't see.

Five minutes later, Anya warned in a low voice, "Xiao Lan, we might have to break through a tomb door next …"

Not waiting for Anya to finish, Xiao Lan clearly replied, "I already saw that tomb door."

Anya quickly raised her head and followed Xiao Lan's line of sight. Sure enough, she saw a towering stone monument not far away from them.

This tomb door was much larger than the first few tomb doors. The engravings on it were especially intricate and ingenious, all of the designs were carved into the wall, making it look like a living being.

"Beautiful!" Anya sincerely praised.

Xiao Lan didn't say anything, but he was still praising in his heart. The two of them walked towards the tomb door in unison, and only after walking closer did they realize that there were two fierce green-faced tomb beasts on both sides of the tomb door.

Anya curled her lips at the tombstone. "This ancient people like to put these frightening things in tombs, but in reality, they are completely useless."

At this moment, Xiao Lan was still sizing up the two terrifying tombstone beasts. When she saw Anya's actions, it was already too late.

"Anya!"

The moment Anya's hand touched the relief sculpture, the entire relief sculpture embedded itself into the tomb door in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Lan instantly cried out in alarm. "Anya, be careful!" "Retreat!"

Just as Xiao Lan finished speaking, a sharp crossbow made of darksteel came flying straight towards Anya with the force of a hundred thousand kilograms.

As a mercenary, Anya's skills were naturally not bad. However, the crossbow was too powerful. Even if Anya dodged extremely fast, she could only avoid the possibility of a strong crossbow shooting into her heart.

When Xiao Lan looked again, the heavy crossbow had already completely pierced Anya's shoulder. Fresh blood was flowing down the heavy crossbow at an extremely fast speed!

Ah!

The immense pain made Anya unable to restrain herself from roaring out in a low voice!

"Anya!"

Xiao Lan ran to Anya's side in the blink of an eye and supported her body, which was on the verge of collapsing.

"Anya, how are you?"

"Pain …"

Xiao Lan quickly looked at Anya's wound and saw that the rate of blood flowing from it was constantly increasing. At this moment, half of Anya's body was nearly soaked in blood!

There was something wrong with this crossbow!

Xiao Lan quickly helped Anya to sit on the ground and quickly took out the backpack behind her. She quickly flipped through the backpack to the first aid kit and took out some hemostatic medicine and gauze.

It was impossible to take out the crossbow at this time. He could only stop the bleeding for Anya and bring her out of the tomb for first aid immediately!

Xiao Lan took out a pair of scissors and quickly cut off the clothes surrounding the crossbow before opening the medicine bottle. "Anya, bear with it."

With that, Xiao Lan poured the bottle of medicine on Anya's wound.

"Ugh!"

Anya instantly grabbed the backpack beside her and bit down on it. She almost directly bit through the rucksack!

Xiao Lan endured the pain in her heart as she applied medicinal water to Anya's entire wound. After which, she used gauze to simply bandage the wound.

At this moment, Anya's face was already pale from the pain.

Xiao Lan carried Anya on his back and said, "Anya, bear with it. I'll bring you out right now. Nothing will happen."

Just as Xiao Lan completely carried Anya on his back, Anya actually used all her strength to push Xiao Lan away!

In an instant, Xiao Lan swiftly turned around and looked at Anya with a face full of shock. "What are you doing!?"

Anya was in extreme pain, and her entire body was trembling. However, her eyes were especially resolute as she looked at the tomb door.

"Xiao Lan, we can't leave. We haven't gotten our things yet."

"Anya!"

Xiao Lan was instantly angered to the point that her entire body trembled. What were they still carrying at this time? If this were to continue, even if she didn't die from the pain, she would die from excessive blood flow!

Anya turned around and looked at Xiao Lan with a pale face. "Xiao Lan, we are just a step away. As long as we can get the Profound Spirit Bead inside, we have a commission of fifty million, fifty million …" "Xiao Lan …"

Xiao Lan gritted her teeth. "You want money more than your life!"

Anya's entire body trembled more and more violently. It was obvious that she was holding on with her life.

Xiao Lan suppressed the rage within her heart as she took a step forward and patiently persuaded. "I'll send you out first and wait for you to recover before we come down."

"Xiao Lan, we did not have a next time. If we succeed this time, we will succeed, and if we leave, others will come in the blink of an eye to retrieve the Mysterious Spirit Bead. Moreover, we might not be so lucky the next time we reach the main tomb …"

Xiao Lan clenched her fists tightly. No matter how she said it, Anya just didn't want to give up. She just didn't plan to go out. She valued money more than her life!
