Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Now is not the time to think about whether anyone will believe it; everyone is wishing they could grow fish tails to help them.

But how can a person outrun the water in flowing water?

Despite their frantic swimming and escape, they could feel the temperature around them rising higher and higher. If it weren't for the underground river water balancing it out, it would be no different from taking a hot bath.

But now that things have come to this, there's no other way. We can't just sit around and wait to die. We can only force ourselves to hurry up, and hurry up even more!

Before I'd even swum a couple of strokes, I suddenly felt the water around me speed up noticeably, and I could easily swim several hundred meters without much effort.

Wu Xie could clearly feel that the water was flowing so fast that they didn't even need to use their hands to paddle; it was already propelling them forward at high speed. He estimated that the cliff waterfall was not far from them.

At this moment, Lao Yang was swimming the fastest and was in the lead. After feeling the water flow speed reach a certain level, he headed in a clear direction, then reached down to the bottom of the water and grabbed something to steady himself.

After stabilizing himself by grabbing the chain with one hand, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure rapidly approaching out of the corner of his eye, and quickly grabbed it.

Before Wu Xie could even find the nearest chain, he suddenly felt his collar tighten, almost choking him.

"Old, old, old Wu, grab it quickly, grab the chain!!" Lao Yang shouted to Wu Xie.

Su Li, who had followed closely behind, quickly slipped her arm through the gap in the chain and wedged herself in place. Then, she grabbed Wu Xie's arm and pulled him over, rescuing Wu Xie from his sudden attempt to hang himself.

Wu Xie was pulled along by Su Li and grabbed onto the iron chain, rubbing his neck and panting.

"Cough cough cough... Lao Yang, are you trying to strangle me to death?"

Lao Yang did not respond to Wu Xie's accusations. After confirming that Wu Xie had calmed down, he grabbed another person... a corpse.

That scalded Er Mazi.

The body was swept along by the current and swam faster than Uncle Tai and the others.

Lao Yang skillfully pulled a gun from its waist, then let go and allowed the water to carry it down the waterfall.

"Help, help!"

Just as Lao Yang had tucked the weapon he had acquired into his lower back, and was currently unable to free his hands, a small, thin figure, shouting for help, crashed straight into him.

The speed of the water flow combined with his weight caught Lao Yang off guard, leaving him completely dazed. His hand, which had been gripping the chain, instinctively loosened.

Well, it turns out that the cliff waterfall, which was supposed to wait for the arrival of the boiling water army before being forced to jump, was just knocked off by the impact and fell down?

Wu Xie and Su Li exchanged a glance. Su Li immediately pulled out a rope and tied their wrists together. Then, they loosened their grip and let the water carry them away.

The feeling of freefalling in a waterfall is quite thrilling. With the help of water-repelling beads, they are not at risk of choking on water. There is also an indescribable sense of excitement in the moment when they are swept down the cliff by the water.

This is kind of fun!!!

"boom……"

His body slammed straight into the water, leaving Wu Xie's head spinning. The thought that came to his mind was... this didn't hurt as much as when he fell onto the rocky beach last time.

If you're not so dizzy you can't even open your eyes, then this statement is more believable.

Wu Xie was bubbling in the water, feeling dizzy, when he suddenly felt a tightness in his wrist and was pulled out of the water.

"Little Naïve? Little Naïve?"

Su Li patted Wu Xie, who was seeing stars in front of her. The impact was too great. Would the child be mentally impaired?

"Ah, Ah Li, I, I... have a bit of a headache..."

With Su Li helping him steady himself, Wu Xie gently shook his head, trying to clear his mind.

The two held hands and went ashore first.

They are currently in a pool in the middle section of the waterfall, which should be halfway up the mountain. Not far from the pool is the next section of the waterfall's rapids.

Those swept down from the upper waterfall either get stuck in this pool or are swept directly into the next section of rapids and carried away by the waterfall again.

The two helped each other climb ashore, and when they looked up, they saw Lao Yang and Liang Shiye, who had fallen down before them.

These two were even luckier than them; they were swept directly to the shore by the current and are now lying there, their fate unknown.

However, based on Su Li's understanding of the plot, it's highly likely that nothing serious will happen between the two of them.

The original plot was supposed to be Lao Yang picking up the unconscious Wu Xiaogou, but now the roles of the person picking up the person and the person being picked up have been completely reversed.

They pulled the two people ashore, making sure they wouldn't be swept away.

……

Lao Yang and Liang Shiye were awakened by the aroma of food.

Calculating the time, they hadn't eaten for almost ten hours; their stomachs woke up before their brains did.

As Su Li and her companion sat by the campfire drinking dumpling soup, they heard the two people lying on the ground, whose eyes were still closed, already having stomachs growling loudly.

The two stomachs seemed to be locked in a battle of wits, one rumbling louder than the other, gurgling incessantly. Anyone who didn't know better would think someone was raising a swarm of toads there.

"Old, old, old Wu..." Old Yang called out weakly, one hand covering his dizzy head and the other covering his stomach.

Wu Xie raised an eyebrow and gestured with the rice bowl in his hand towards Lao Yang, who had just sat up.

"Awake? Want a couple of bites?"

Lao Yang: ...

"Gululu..."

The owner didn't need to say anything; his stomach had already started to respond enthusiastically.

Wu Xie chuckled and ladled a full bowl of dumpling soup for him, handing it to Lao Yang while also kicking Liang Shiye, who was still lying dead on the side.

"If you keep pretending, I'll kick you into the water."

"No, no, no, I'll get up right away."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Liang Shiye, who had been completely unmotivated, suddenly spoke up and hurriedly sat up, afraid that if he was a step too slow, he would really be kicked back into the water.

If he were swept away by the waterfall again, he couldn't guarantee he'd be lucky enough to make it back to shore safely.

As soon as Liang Shiye sat up, a fawning smile immediately appeared on his face, and he bowed and scraped to Wuxie.

"Brother, please have mercy! Please have mercy! I'm just old and weak, I haven't recovered yet, it's not that bad."

Lao Yang was already starving, and when he woke up, he didn't even notice his surroundings.

A bowl of hot dumpling soup was handed to him.

Without even thinking, I slurped down half a bowl.

He didn't even notice the old man lying next to him when the old man suddenly sat up, startling him so much that he almost swallowed the dumpling soup in his mouth and it went into his nose.

Looking up, good heavens, it was none other than Uncle Tai's old strategist, who, without a second thought, reached for the gun at his waist while holding a bowl in one hand.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!!!!"
