Chapter 2: Gravedigger of the Treasure Hoarders

The members of the treasure hoarders guarding the entrance of the treasure cave walked towards Wang Daoyi, although their pace was slow, resembling that of an old man strolling. However, in the eyes of the treasure hoarder members guarding the treasure cave entrance, there was a vigilant look.

The gravedigger of the treasure hoarders quickly finished their food and showed Wang Daoyi a tough expression.

"Kid, stop right there! Don't get close to the treasure cave, or when Big Sister comes back, you'll be punished!"

The gravedigger of the treasure hunting team shouted sternly.

Wang Daoyi originally joined a treasure hoarder called the Baoer Treasure Hoarders. Its leader was the famous Baoer Sister, a female treasure hoarders who, although lacked having a vision, possessed formidable strength.

And the gravedigger guarding the treasure cave was a direct member of Baoer Sister's faction. Unlike Wang Daoyi, who had just joined the treasure hoarders a year ago, the gravedigger was one of Baoer Sister's staunch subordinates. Wang Daoyi was just a peripheral member, although he had performed well in the past year, he had not entered the core interests of the treasure hoarders.

Wang Daoyi obediently stopped his steps and showed an innocent expression.

"Sister has been away for nearly three days to distract the Millelith. If she hasn't returned yet, it means they haven't shaken off the pursuit of the Millelith."

Pausing for a moment and observing the gravedigger's guarded yet attentive expression, Wang Daoyi revealed a slight smile.

"Since Sister hasn't shaken off the Millelith, we are not safe. In fact, the longer Sister doesn't come back, the more dangerous it is for us."

Seeing the smiling Wang Daoyi, the gravedigger put away his previous guard and showed a smug look that seemed to say, "I see through your intentions."

"Sister's order to me is to guard these antiques. Kid, if you want to escape, you can do it yourself, but don't try to incite me!"

"Escape!? How could that be? Without Sister's protection, where can we escape to? Big Brother, what I mean is, we are getting more and more dangerous now. If we continue to stay here, we will definitely be discovered by the Millelith. By then, not only our safety but also these antiques will definitely be taken away by the Millelith."

As Wang Daoyi organized his words, he observed the tomb raider's expression.

The gravedigger's originally smug face turned gloomy. Of course, he knew that the longer they stayed here, the more dangerous it became. But out of awe for Baoer Sister, he dared not think too much and could only convince himself to continue guarding here.

Seeing the change in the tomb raider's expression, Wang Daoyi knew that this was a feasible plan.

"Big Brother, we cannot continue to guard this place. If Sister returns, it's naturally good, but if it's the Millelith, we only explored this ruin for a month. There's only one entrance and we haven't found any other exits. Once the Millelith comes, we're done for."

The gravedigger knew that Wang Daoyi wasn't talking nonsense. After all, he was the one who led people to dig the entrance to the ruin. This excavation was intended to be a destructive rapid development. Naturally, there was no plan for a second exit. Once the exit was blocked by the Millelith, these remaining treasure hoarders would either surrender obediently or be trapped in the ruin.

"Kid, what are you thinking? Speak up!"

The gravedigger said with a stern face.

"Big Brother, how many of us are left now?"

"Sister took away most of the people when she left. Now, apart from me, there are three senior members in the entire ruin, and there are twelve peripheral members like you."

In other words, there were only sixteen treasure hoarders left in the entire ruin, which was inconspicuous compared to hundreds of people who were excavating the ruin a month ago. No wonder Baoer Sister managed to temporarily divert the attention of the Millelith.

Wang Daoyi thought for a moment and looked at the gravedigger. "It's definitely impossible to continue guarding the ruin now. We only have sixteen people here. Compared to the large team led by Sister, we have a small target and are not noticeable. If we can split up and escape from the ruin, the Millelith may not be able to catch all of us."

The gravedigger frowned. "Splitting up and escaping, what about these antiques? If these antiques are collected by the Millelith, even if we escape the Millelith's pursuit, those old guys in the team won't let us off!"

The gravediffer referred to some elderly treasure hoarders who were usually the mentors of new members. They also held some punishment rights within the treasure hoarders. Although they were old, a lifetime of greed made them punish the failed treasure hoarders. Losing the already excavated antiques would be considered a failure.

The gravedigger would never admit this failure to himself. That's why, even though he knew Wang Daoyi might have ulterior motives, he was still willing to listen to Wang Daoyi's plan. The gravedigger wanted to leave himself a way out, so he could shift the blame after escaping.

Wang Daoyi didn't know the gravedigger's thoughts and thought he was afraid of being punished for losing the antiques, so he continued to describe his escape plan.

"We only have sixteen people. There are only dozens of antiques left here. Let's give up those big items and each of us take two antiques. This way, we won't be too conspicuous."

After a pause, seeing the gravedigger's hesitant expression, Wang Daoyi continued, "Although we are giving up some big items, as long as we take out most of the smaller antiques, and Sister speaks up for us, the senior members in the team won't have an excuse to punish us. After all, we haven't lost everything."

After hearing Wang Daoyi's plan, the gravedigger nodded. Although it was a crude plan, it targeted the greed of those peripheral members. This plan had potential.

The only key point of this plan was how to distribute these big items to those peripheral members.
