Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Just moments ago, the Corpse-Eating Rat, which had been as strong as an ox, was kicked away by Wu Xie. Now, it was stomped on Destiny's spine, and instantly, as if all its strength had been exhausted, it lay on the ground unable to move, only still making squeaking noises out of desperation.

"Ah Li!" Wu Xie called out to Su Li, who was not far away.

"I'm coming."

Su Li, summoned, scurried over and immediately spotted the gray-furred rat that was being suppressed by Wu Xie and unable to move.

The ferocious, sharp-nosed rat's face was filled with savagery and terror; it tried to struggle but couldn't break free.

Wu Xie suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet disappear; the large rat he had been struggling to suppress had vanished.

Upon receiving the notification that points had been credited to her account, Su Li looked at Wu Xie with sparkling eyes, her little eyes clearly revealing her eagerness to take advantage of the situation... no, to take advantage of Wu Xie.

"Well, tell me what you want to do..."

"Hehe, little naiveté~ It's all up to you to lure the army of mice!!!"

Innocent: ? ? ? ?

Do you want to hear what nonsense you're spouting?

Su Li said that they would just follow the instructions in a moment, and that they needed to find the tunnel that Lao Yang had come out of first.

This place still has considerable research value. They can't just set fire to this land that's been soaked in kerosene and then rely on Xiaotian's "always finding a way out in a panic" buff to find their way.

If that happens, Old Qin will probably have to sit in their Xie family's old house and cry.

At this point, Lao Yang could only lead Liang Shiye to find the way. They attracted the entire rat army, which not only earned them points but also indirectly ensured their safety.

"Old Yang, there are probably a lot of rats here. If we continue like this, we could be ambushed at any time, just like before."

"So, you take Master Liang to find the way, and Ah Li and I will lead them to another place. Once you find the place, shine your flashlights towards the top of the cave so we can see you and come meet up."

Lao Yang was a little unhappy when he heard this. In his opinion, Wu Xie was the tool he cared about the most, and he didn't want Wu Xie to take this risk.

However, he had no choice and no reasonable reason to ask the frail old man Liang Shiye to lead the weak and underage Su Li to lure monsters for them.

Putting everything else aside, as soon as he brings up this idea, Wu Xie is guaranteed to turn his back and leave.

Having confirmed that Lao Yang and Master Liang had left, Su Li took out her jade compass and set up a small defensive array on the ground.

Innocent and curious.

"Will this lure all the rats out?"

Su Li shook her head. "What do you mean by luring them out? This is a defensive formation. Didn't I just say that luring out the rat army is up to you?"

Wu Xie scratched his head. "How do I seduce them? Should I perform a sexy dance for them?"

Zurich: ...

"If you want to dance, that's fine too, I can even record it for you~ Hehehe~"

I'm sure the others will be especially interested in the fact that Xiao Tianzhen is performing a striptease!

Is there a charge?

Wu Xie gave up; he couldn't outwit Ali, it was too humiliating.

Black Bear looked smug. "You're joking, don't you even know who trained you?"

"Alright, let's get down to business. How should we proceed? Let's hurry up and change the subject." Wu Xie quickly changed the subject, as he didn't want to be dragged into a striptease by Ali.

The defensive array set up by Su Li was only a little over one meter in diameter. Wu Xie sat cross-legged on the ground, and Su Li stood behind Wu Xie.

Following Su Li's suggestion, Wu Xie held a spirit stone in each hand, treating it as if he were cultivating.

With the Beast Taming Technique activated, Wu Xie, who had originally attracted the animal buff, became an incredibly tempting and delicious bait in the eyes of the animals, something that every living creature wanted to take a bite of.

The empty space was suddenly filled with rustling sounds, as if something was approaching in groups.

"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—a corpse-eating rat. It can be redeemed for 150 points. Do you want to redeem it?"

A cheerful electronic voice from the system rang in Zuli's ears, indicating that the little animals had gotten close enough!

From afar, the gray swarm of rats could already be seen rapidly approaching.

Next up, it's clearance sale time!!!

The first ticking mouse was probably impatient; it pounced as soon as it saw the humanoid baby sitting on the ground from afar...

But just as the giant rat was flying into the air, it vanished as if it had evaporated.

A steady stream of rats rushed in, only to disappear less than three meters from the defensive array.

The system was overjoyed to receive these points! The more the better!

"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—the Corpse-Eating Rat King. It is worth 1500 points. Do you want to redeem it?"

Wow!!!

Sell, sell, sell! What are you hesitating for? All the underlings have gone to the eerie world to be dungeon NPCs, how can the boss not go? Hiding like this is just too much! We absolutely have to go…

"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—a carrion-eating rat pup. It can be redeemed for 50 points. Do you want to redeem it?"

There's no need to hesitate. How could the children survive without their parents raising them? It's best to send them to a family as soon as possible to reunite!

Go...

"Snap... crack..."

I don't know if it was caused by the horde of rats, but I heard the sound of coffin lids breaking and collapsing in the distance again.

"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—a zombie. It can be redeemed for 500 points. Do you want to redeem it?"

Wait a minute?

Zombies?

Su Li was dumbfounded. Wasn't this a dungeon with the Thousand Coffins Fire Dragon Formation and the Giant Rat Army?

How did a zombie extra end up in the mix?

My gaze involuntarily fell upon Wu Xie, who was intently meditating. The little darling is truly irresistible!

"Host, stay calm. With thousands of corpses who died violent deaths, it's normal for a few to mutate."

The system remained calm and even pleased, saying, "The more the better, come on, don't be shy."

Even though you can't eat the innocent young heartthrob, you're still getting a good deal by smelling him, right?

No problem. When I go to work in the supernatural world, what can't I eat?

As she spoke, Su Li saw several stiff human figures slowly approaching from not far away.

The fragile fabric couldn't withstand the ravages of time; it had transformed from a magnificent and exquisite official robe into tattered strips of cloth, stubbornly clinging to its original owner, never abandoning him.

As the last vestige of dignity for the fabric, it resolutely refuses to let its owner go naked... not even if the owner is dead!

Several burly men stretched out their withered, stick-like arms, approaching step by step. Their long fingernails, which had not stopped growing even after their bodies died, gleamed with a dark luster...

All they want now is to get to their sweet-smelling prey as quickly as possible and have a good meal to satisfy their stomachs that have been empty for hundreds of years.

Wu Xie, who was concentrating on his meditation, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, his cultivation stopped, and he subconsciously opened his eyes...

"Fuck..."
