Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

"Tianzhen, are you alright?"

They were just about ten meters away from here. Being hit and thrown ten meters away is no joke.

Wu Xie lay on the pebble beach, unsure whether to cover his chest where he had been hit or rub his aching back.

"It hurts, it hurts so much..." Wu Xie grimaced and cried out in pain.

Su Li didn't know what to say, so she gently helped Wu Xie sit up and lifted the back of his shirt to take a look.

Thankfully, there were no serious injuries.

There won't be any injuries. With the protection of this robe, although only a small basic defensive array has been added to make it usable by ordinary people, the chance of breaking through the defense is not high without firepower.

Wu Xie is in this state because this robe only defends against it but doesn't absorb the force. He can still fly, and it doesn't isolate his sense of touch. So, he'll still feel pain after being hit so hard in the pile of rubble.

"How about we go back and talk to our senior brother? Let's cut off the sense of touch too. If this happens again, I really might faint."

Wu Xie looked at Su Li pitifully.

"Stop joking around, are you even a modern person? Losing touch is called paralysis..."

(Have any of you ever experienced that feeling of not being able to feel your legs when they go numb from squatting?)

"Crash..."

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough... yue..."

Heart-wrenching coughs accompanied by bouts of vomiting came from the water's edge.

Wu Xie looked up and saw Lao Yang, soaking wet and gagging on the shore, and a huge taimen that had been struggling in the water for a while and was now stranded nearby.

He looked at Su Li with a questioning gaze, and Su Li returned him a smug look.

"You're so mean..." Wu Xie suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to turn up and whispered.

Su Li glanced at him sideways: Don't think I didn't see it, you were clearly enjoying it.

A small red ball, about the size of a soybean, was shoved into Wuxie's mouth.

“Spit out some blood, and act like him!” Su Li reminded him.

Wu Xie, with a small dumpling in his mouth, obediently bit into it upon hearing Su Li's words. A burst of sweet juice exploded in his mouth, and he almost couldn't resist swallowing it.

Under Su Li's warning glare, he obediently held back, adjusted his expression, and then vomited out a mouthful of bloody blood.

The liquid that splattered on the ground was bright red, and a bloody smell filled the air, causing Wuxie, who was savoring the sweet taste in his mouth, to pause for a moment.

"Ah!!! Bro!!! What's wrong, bro!!! You're coughing up blood!!! Waaaaaah!!!"

Su Li ignored the shock the props caused Wu Xie, whose entire reaction—from initial shock to screaming to crying—smoothly transitioned…

Wu Xie relaxed and leaned against Su Li's chest, reminding her helplessly, "That's too much, toned it down a bit."

"Could you please not set such high expectations?" Su Li thought to herself as she tried to calm her overly excited emotions.

Next time, let's put on a show for a blind man. I'll show you how he can praise me in all sorts of creative ways!!!

Lao Yang, who had finally crawled out of the stinky puddle, vomited for a long time. Suddenly, he heard Su Li's cries and quickly crawled over to her using both hands and feet.

The fear in his heart was indescribable. Even after he fell in front of Wuxie, his hands and feet were still trembling, and his face was pale and distorted.

"Old Wu, Old Wu, you, you can't, you can't die!!!! Old, Old Wu! We haven't arrived yet, we haven't reached our destination, you, you can't die!!!"

Lao Yang looked at the pool of blood in front of Wu Xie, and the bright red blood hanging on his lips. He was terrified, wanting to touch it but not daring to. He just mumbled incoherently, "We haven't arrived yet, you can't die."

"Yes, right, medicine, medicine! Old Wu, you, you take out the supplies, take them out, quick, use the medicine!!!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? My brother is like this, how can he possibly produce anything like this!"

Lao Yang is now filled with regret, deep regret. He shouldn't have tried to save trouble by keeping the supplies in Wu Xie's unreliable "Sleeve Universe".

It's not available now when I need it.

I shouldn't have had that sudden brain fart to try and kill this brat with that weird fish. Now look what's happened, the brat's alive and kicking and even pointing at me and cursing. Old Wu's about to be driven crazy by him...

"There's still a way, there's a way, wait, wait for me..."

As Lao Yang spoke, he looked around and saw Wu Xie's big white dog leg lying beside him. He was about to pick it up, but he withdrew his hand just before he touched it.

For some reason, the knife frightened him, as if he would regret it if he even touched it.

Gritting his teeth, Lao Yang finally gave up on the knife and instead drew a dagger from his waist and walked toward the stranded fish.

At this moment, Lao Yang's eyes were filled with a hint of madness. After getting close to the big fish, he plunged the dagger in his hand into the fish's belly.

The sound of flesh being slashed echoed in the empty cave, as Lao Yang continued slashing with a blank expression.

After the fish's belly was completely opened and its bloody internal organs were pulled out, Lao Yang immediately reached out and groped around until he finally found what he wanted near the fish's head.

With a forceful slash of his dagger, he pulled a tree branch-shaped object out of the fish's belly.

It's likely that when he fell into the water, the fish was struggling to survive, and somehow the thing he was always carrying was swallowed whole by the fish.

Lao Yang's slash was extremely forceful, tearing open the stomach sac and causing a round object to fall out.

A slightly rotten head...

Old Yang, who was using a tree branch to wash the blood off his hands, suddenly made eye contact with this round head. Although his body stiffened for a moment, he did not show the exaggerated cowardice he had shown before.

Kicking the head in front of him aside, Lao Yang turned and ran towards Wu Xie.

Old Yang, still covered in the stench of fish blood, knelt before Wu Xie, clutching a metal branch in his hands without any protection.

He gripped the branch tightly in his hand while staring at Wu Xie with bloodshot eyes.

"Old Wu, you're alright, you're alright, right? You're all better now, you're all better!!!"

Good grief, is she so flustered that she's even forgotten how to stutter??

Wu Xie felt a little uneasy from the neurotic whispers. The blue crystal on the hem of his magic robe, which had been switched to a regular windbreaker, quietly emitted a halo, as if it were resisting something.

"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—a materialized life form (Old Yang). It has 20% energy remaining and can be exchanged for 200 points. Do you want to exchange it?"

Su Li's eyes widened.

Wow... I didn't even know it could be used like that!!!

While watching Lao Yang go crazy, he pinched Wu Xie when Lao Yang couldn't see him.

Wu Xie instantly understood.

"What's wrong? I'm so itchy! But I don't feel any pain in my body anymore!!!"
