Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Damn it! ! !

Holy crap!!!

This kid is definitely suspicious!!!

We've been traveling together for so long, and this kid has never called him by his name once!

And now she's looking at him with such a strange (loving) gaze!!!

There is absolutely, positively wrong!!!

System: They're just after your 'body' (not really).

Suddenly feeling a chilly, itchy sensation all over her body, she shuddered and didn't dare to look Su Li in the eye again.

He timidly shifted his gaze, muttering to himself as he did so.

"I'm not afraid at all! How can a man say he's weak?!"

"Gulu gulu..."

The four people who had just sat down to rest looked at each other in bewilderment...

Although it felt like only a few hours had passed since their last meal, the rumbling of their stomachs as they sat facing each other was a clear reminder.

It seems they've used up all the energy from their last meal.

"boss……"

Master Liang stared longingly at Wu Xie.

The old man is your employee now, you have to be responsible for him, you can't let the old man go hungry!

Wuxie: ...

Isn't this old man becoming a bit shameless now?

I rummaged through my own supplies and found some high-calorie food to fill their stomachs, and also told them to put some in their backpacks so they could replenish their energy whenever needed.

Su Li was holding a huge, thin-skinned, overloaded hamburger that was bigger than his face. (The hamburger bun is based on Tustin's.)

Then look at the normal-sized hamburgers in Liang Shiye's and Lao Yang's hands...

So what kind of image do I have in your eyes?

Do all the food have to be specially prepared?

Are you feeding the pigs?

Su Yunqing: I never realized the kid was such a foodie when I was raising him. It's true he loves fruit and alcohol. I guess the sect's canteen's cooking skills just aren't up to par...

It's decided, let's go renovate the sect's canteen now...

First, I'll go to the store and buy a stack of recipes...

Elder in charge of the sect's dining hall: ...

I was forced into this situation by luck, and I was unlucky enough to be drawn into being in charge of the cafeteria. Isn't the only thing you need to do to cook the food?

So the cafeteria manager is the one who feeds the pigs, right?

They were used to the differential treatment from Wu Xie; as long as they had food, they were content and didn't expect to receive the same treatment as Su Li.

As they were eating, they felt a slight tremor coming from the bronze tree beneath them.

Master Liang looked up blankly. "An earthquake?"

After all, they hung their hundreds of kilograms of weight on it and climbed all the way without shaking the bronze tree in the slightest.

Wu Xie quickly stuffed the remaining food in his hand into his mouth, then peered down and saw several humanoid shadows moving rapidly upwards at an unusual speed.

"coming……"

Seeing that Wu Xie's expression wasn't exactly relaxed, and that the gleaming broadsword had reappeared in his hand, Liang Shiye felt a pang of anxiety and hurriedly moved closer to Wu Xie.

"What's coming??? Old Tai and the others?"

Su Li, who was lying on the other side of Wu Xie looking down, heard Liang Shiye's question and casually replied.

Points!!!

Master Liang: ...

What are you saying?

He figured it was probably because he was getting old and his hearing wasn't working well; he'd misheard...

"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—a ghost-faced monkey. It can be redeemed for 250 points. Do you want to redeem it?"

The dark shape below had approached the system's detection range, and the system immediately responded, but the number...

Isn't that a bit... well...?

"Host, please wait a moment..."

The system also felt that this number was definitely the revenge of the strange world's consciousness, mocking whoever it was.

Isn't this little piece of trash just asking for trouble?!

After a series of friendly exchanges within the system, Su Li heard the sound of the acquisition points being refreshed.

"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—a ghost-faced monkey. It can be redeemed for 350 points. Do you want to redeem it?"

Great, the system is finally reliable! Thumbs up!

A system that offers points-based rewards is the most reliable, hehe...

The trembling sensation grew stronger, and the creature below was getting closer and closer. Even Liang Shiye could vaguely hear the sound of sharp claws sliding on the metal tree trunk.

That doesn't sound like a human making that noise!

Liang, who had been convinced it was the missing Uncle Tai who had come looking for him, subconsciously swallowed hard...

"Old Yang!" Wu Xie called out.

Lao Yang understood Wu Xie's meaning, so he wrapped up the unfinished food and stuffed it into his backpack. He then took out the paddle he had taken from Er Mazi, cocked it, and prepared for battle.

"Old Liang, don't get in the way here, go and stay with Ali."

Liang Shiye choked, thinking about his old arms and legs, and realized that his boss was right.

They are an elderly person and a young child, both from vulnerable groups. We should just stay together and cheer them on, without causing them any trouble.

Completely unaware of Su Li's lethality, Liang Shiye nimbly got up and pulled Su Li to sit on a slightly thinner branch.

He even sat in a position that would block Su Li's view, showing a real sense of protecting his younger relative.

Su Li: Did he take advantage of me again?

They had just evacuated the main road when the creatures below finally arrived on the battlefield.

The moment the dark figure below flipped up and revealed its true form, Liang Shiye instinctively gasped...

ugly……

It's really ugly...

It's both bizarre and ugly...

The figure had just peeked out when a deathly pale face loomed right in front of the unprepared Liang Shiye, delivering a devastating blow that nearly made the old man fall off the tree in fright.

That pale, large face was at least half again as big as a normal person's face, and its features looked as if they had been sculpted.

Whether the artist's skill was poor or exceptional, the expression on the face was neither a smile nor a cry, extremely eerie.

Then look at its body that has already climbed up.

On the grayish-black fur, there seemed to be traces of some suspicious liquid that had dried, sticking the fur together in that area.

The menacing claws gleamed coldly. Under the bright light, the old clerk squinted, and he seemed to see suspicious traces of flesh between the claws…

"What...what kind of monster is this?!"

"boom……"

Before Master Liang could finish his exclamation, a huge gunshot rang out, accompanied by the smoke of gunpowder. A flower of blood bloomed before his eyes, and red and white flesh splattered everywhere.

The monster's strong body immediately lost all power and collapsed.

Dark red blood gushed out violently.

A stench assaulted their sense of smell...

"Yue..." The bloody scene combined with the stench almost made Liang Shiye vomit.

Meanwhile, in Zurich...

He didn't feel nauseous; he just wailed inwardly...

My points exploded!!!

350 points just vanished like that?!

Is this thing really that fragile?
