Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Wu Xie subconsciously raised his hand to touch the water-repelling bead hanging around his neck, comforting himself, "It's just some little green water, right? No problem, I'm someone who's got cheat codes."

A cheater fears no difficulty!

He gave himself a pep talk, gained a "firm gaze" buff, and then looked at Lao Yang with a determined gaze...

Old Yang looked around with a question mark on his face, bewildered.

Wu Xie continued to deliver a resolute gaze.

The short-circuited brain suddenly connected with the original body's childhood, when it was dominated by the cunning strategist, and suddenly it understood...

Let Wu Xie tie the rope around his waist and secure it to a boulder that showed no signs of loosening. Without any struggle, Lao Yang began to crawl inside. Don't ask, it's just a habit.

The rope was very strong. Lao Yang tied the flashlight to his wrist and held the rope tightly with both hands, lowering it little by little down the slippery rock face.

Soon his toes touched the icy water. Although it seemed there was nowhere to put his feet down from above, Lao Yang still tried to find a good place to step with his feet.

When the water was up to his knees, his toes suddenly touched solid ground, which actually gave him a place to step, so he didn't have to jump directly into the water.

Lao Yang carefully explored both sides again. It was probably a small path carved out along the rock wall, with footholds on both sides, but he didn't know where it led.

"Old Wu, you guys, come down, come down, there's a path." Lao Yang called out to the people above, naturally moving his body to the right to make room for them.

The cool water was blocked by the robes, but the pungent stench that rushed up almost made the two of them faint.

I knew it smelled bad, but I never imagined it would smell this pungent!

The irritation from adding medicated oil to stinky tofu juice is unbearable for most people; it smells even worse than the stagnant water in the nanmu coffin in the underwater tomb.

"yue..."

"yue..."

I really admire myself for being able to fight and defeat a big fish in this stinky water.

I really admire the original version of Little Naive who could fight and defeat a big fish in this stinky water.

With a calm expression, Lao Yang looked at the two with concern, not urging them, and waited until they had adjusted for a while before patting Wu Xie's hand to show him his discovery.

Lao Yang pointed to the narrow path beneath his feet, barely wide enough for one foot, and then pointed in the direction he was in.

"Old Wu, look, this, this, this side looks good, there seems to be something."

As he spoke, he shone the flashlight strapped to his wrist into the green water at his feet, gesturing for Wuxie to look.

Wu Xie looked at the light for a long time, but couldn't see anything except for being dazzled by the light reflected from the green water.

She patted him on the shoulder. "Stop keeping me in suspense, tell me what you saw."

“There are two, there are roads on both sides, but, but this side is, it goes up, up,” Lao Yang said.

Wu Xie held up his flashlight and shone it on both sides. The path under the green water was not obvious to begin with. This path, which was carved into the rocks, had a gentle slope and the changes in the gradient were barely visible.

It's quite remarkable that he said it so seriously.

Lao Yang untied the rope binding his waist, grabbed the rock wall, and took the lead, with Wu Xie following behind and Su Li lagging behind.

"Waaaaah, it's so cold here, brother, I don't want to leave..."

This obviously intimidating positioning was clearly designed to let Su Li shine, and the poor little tea spirit began to torment Lao Yang's ears.

With his back to Wu Xie, out of Wu Xie's sight, Lao Yang forced a stiff smile. This brat is spoiled, useless, and a burden. He'd better stay here obediently...

"Wow..."

"Wow..."

The sound of something splashing out of water and then falling back startled Lao Yang, who looked back and saw Wu Xie carrying Su Li, turning Su Li to the middle, while he stayed at the back.

"Old, Old Wu, you, you..."

Wu Xie looked up. "What's wrong?"

"No, don't move! Danger! Danger!" The carefully planned positions were disrupted, and Lao Yang said unwillingly.

"It's okay, I'm standing firm. I'm worried about Ah Li walking behind me." Wu Xie patted Su Li's head like a good older brother, and, knowing that Su Li wouldn't resist at this moment, he patted her head contentedly.

"Brother Wuxie is still the best~"

Ugh... Su Li sprinkled saccharin in a high-pitched voice, and then felt a shiver of disgust.

Forget it, calling out "brother" in a whimpering tone is already my limit; this kind of voice really doesn't suit me.

His original plan fell through, and Lao Yang, who had been dawdling and stalling for time, couldn't help but quicken his pace. Hearing Su Li call out "Brother Wu Xie," he almost slipped and just wanted to get off this stretch of road as soon as possible.

The path's upward slope was barely noticeable; the three of them had walked quite a distance before the water level dropped from above their knees to their calves.

If Lao Yang was able to discern such subtle amplitude and find the direction with just a few glances, then he would truly be a gifted individual.

The sound of water breaking came from behind him. Wu Xie sensed a malevolent gaze that was watching him with covetous eyes and was getting closer.

Su Li sensed it too and tightened her grip on Wu Xie's hand.

Wu Xie knew what was going on and secretly prepared to draw his knife at any moment.

"Look, we can see the shore, the bank." Lao Yang suddenly pointed to the shallow stalls not far away and turned to call Wu Xie to look.

When he turned around, he saw the huge fish head half-exposed above the water behind Wu Xie, which startled him so much that his pupils dilated and he shouted.

"Old Wu!!!"

At the same time, Wu Xie pushed Su Li forward, and the big white dog leg in his hand flashed with a golden pattern, and he turned around and slashed at Su Li's forehead with his knife.

"Splash splash splash..." The giant taimen, which had originally intended to launch a sneak attack, writhed pitifully in the water. About a third of its massive head was almost chopped off by Wu Xie.

For the first time under these circumstances, he found a way to enhance the blade with his talent. The blade was able to cleave the hard skull so easily, which surprised Wu Xie. He looked at the greatsword in his hand, which was covered with golden spiritual light, with delight.

Am I... self-taught?

I'm a fucking genius...

"Bang..." Lost in thought, Wu Xie suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest, and then... he was flying! Up! Up!

When he landed heavily on the shallow beach covered in pebbles, Wu Xie's vision went black from the stones beneath him, and he almost fainted from the pain...

Ah Li! How about we ask Senior Brother to upgrade his robes next time, to make them more tactilely insulated?

Su Li was initially excited by Wu Xie's backhand slash, which showed a natural and innate fighting spirit, and was about to applaud and cheer when she saw the silly little dog suddenly staring at the knife in his hand with shining eyes...

The game is over...

Why am I making the same old mistakes now?!

Seeing Wu Xie being sent flying by the giant fish's dying blow, Su Li's lips twitched, and she quickly scrambled to run towards Wu Xie.

When I passed by Lao Yang, I pretended to push him unconsciously, which caused him to fall directly into the stinky water that was a mixture of red and green.

Don't think I don't know you just tried to feed me to the fish, hmph...
