Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Seeing that the area in front of him was covered by a light shield and the danger was over, Wu Xie collapsed from exhaustion.

Lao Yang lay down at Wu Xie's feet, clutching his arm.

Both of them were so tired they couldn't move and just wanted to lie down. It would be even better if they could get a good night's sleep.

With trembling hands and feet, Liang Shiye moved his body stiffly from the branch back to the main platform, carefully avoiding the bloody headless monkey corpse, and came to Wu Xie's side.

"Boss? Boss? Are you alright?"

Wu Xie waved his hand with difficulty upon hearing this. He was in this state purely because he was exhausted. The most serious injury on his body was probably the one when he was almost accidentally injured by Lao Yang, which left a red mark on his face.

Seeing that Wu Xie was just tired, Master Liang finally felt relieved.

"I...I have something to do..."

Lao Yang weakly called out, reminding Master Liang that there was still one more person here.

Only then did Master Liang seem to remember him, and he moved over to check on his condition.

The old man grimaced at the sight of the wound on his arm, where at least an ounce of flesh had been torn away.

Oh my god, it looks so painful...

Su Li came over and pulled Wu Xie up with a strong hand. She then stuffed several pills into Wu Xiaogou's mouth at once, almost choking him to death.

One of the pills should have an energizing effect. Wu Xie felt a sudden coolness in his drowsy head, and he instantly became alert.

Wu Xie felt a continuous influx of power into his hands and feet, and his mind began to become active again.

To be honest, cultivating immortality changes lives. Whether you're tired or sleepy, one pill can refresh and invigorate you.

No matter how exhausted I am, a dose of pills will make me energetic again.

If everyone started cultivating immortality in the future, would working overtime still be considered overtime? Wouldn't capitalists use stimulants like coffee?

Military training left us exhausted and lying on the ground. The instructor came over and gave each of us a pill... "Get up and run another ten kilometers..."

oh ho...

Su Li watched as Wu Xie's eyes, which had just regained their clarity, suddenly focused and then became unfocused. What was she thinking about now?

"Young Master Li? Why don't you come and see this gentleman?"

Liang Shiye only spoke up to remind Su Li after seeing that Wu Xie had been given the medicine and was fine.

The main reason is that Lao Yang looks too miserable right now. They are still in a team-up, and the old man said that he still loves his teammates very much.

They were all inside his defensive formation and in no danger, so Su Li felt at ease letting Wu Xie sit there and daydream for a while.

After hearing Liang Shiye's summons, he came over to take a look.

Su Li knew that Lao Yang's instinctive reaction was not to touch him (the two of them had not had any physical contact along the way, I wonder if you guys noticed). So he didn't touch him either, he just squatted down next to Lao Yang and glanced at him a couple of times.

"Well, I don't know if you can take this medicine. You should check it yourself."

As Su Li spoke, she took out a healing pill and placed it next to Lao Yang, within easy reach of him.

Lao Yang's first reaction upon hearing Su Li's words was a jolt of fear in his heart.

What does he mean by this?

What does he know?

Does Lao Wu know this too?

Actually, he has very mixed feelings right now.

After witnessing Su Li's abilities, he could easily tell that the two of them had been playing themselves the whole time.

One pretends to be weak, the other pretends to be easily fooled...

Okay, she's not so easily fooled...

Lao Yang silently picked up the pill, and the moment he touched it, he understood why Su Li had said: "I don't know if I can take this medicine."

As soon as he held the pill in his hand, he could feel the aura emanating from this tiny pill that frightened him.

The aura was faint, just a tiny bit. He felt that the medicine should be effective for him, but it would also cause him pain.

The effect of what he ingested was probably similar to pouring alcohol onto a wound; although it would be excruciatingly painful, it would be effective.

Thinking this, Lao Yang gritted his teeth, tilted his head back, and threw the pill into his mouth.

Well……

Damn, it really hurts...

Unlike Liang Shiye, who felt a cool sensation and rapid healing after taking the pill, Lao Yang felt an intense burning sensation spreading across several of his wounds as soon as he swallowed the pill.

The sensation of having a bloody wound roasted over a fire made him clench his teeth and break out in a cold sweat.

When Liang Shiye saw Lao Yang writhing on the ground in pain after taking a pill given by Su Li, with his wound seemingly still emitting black smoke, he couldn't help but shudder. After all, Lao Yang was the first person in the team, besides Wu Xie, to take Su Li's pill.

Shouldn't he thank Master Li for showing mercy?

The initial tenderness I felt for Su Li was now replaced by awe.

At this moment, in Liang Shiye's eyes, Su Li was... a magical child who, like his boss, possessed mysterious and unknown abilities and held all sorts of strange and unusual drugs.

"Ah Li, is Lao Yang alright?"

Having recovered, Wu Xie approached Su Li and looked at Lao Yang, who was still rolling on the ground, and asked him a question out of pity.

After all, he was born with the body of a child and inherited his memories; there was still some reluctance to part with him because of their years of brotherhood.

"He should be fine. He must have felt that the benefits outweighed the drawbacks if he dared to eat it."

"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—a materialized life form (Lao Yang). 80% energy remaining, 800 points available for exchange. Do you wish to exchange?"

?

System, are you contradicting me?

"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—a materialized life form (Lao Yang). 60% energy remaining, 600 points available for redemption. Redeem now?"

Wow? My pills are that powerful?

Judging from the black smoke billowing from Lao Yang's wound, that black smoke is probably the energy that sustains the materialized life form of the bronze tree.

However, the suffering Lao Yang endured was effective; while the wounds were emitting black smoke, they were also rapidly healing.

"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—a materialized life form (Lao Yang). 100% energy remaining, 1000 points available for redemption. Redeem now?"

When Lao Yang sat up, pale-faced, a system notification sounded, indicating that Lao Yang's energy had been restored to full.

That's the advantage of sitting on a power outlet.

If Lao Yang had accidentally swallowed one of the pills Su Li gave him before entering the radiation range of the Bronze Tree, he probably would have dissipated due to energy depletion.

"Old Yang, how are you? Can you handle it?"

Seeing Lao Yang's pale appearance, as if his life force had been drained by the fox-faced man, Wu Xie asked him a question out of concern.

Lao Yang moved his arm, which had fully recovered, and felt the burn area that was no longer throbbing. He shook his head gently, then looked at Su Li with a complicated expression.

"who are you?"
