Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

The entire hall occupies a vast area, and they are currently only in the central area.

Passing the jade platform with the strange sculpture, there is a long corridor behind it, with murals on both sides that are similar in style to those in the hot spring cave.

The corridor is lined with neatly arranged lamp servants, leading straight to the rear hall.

If it weren't for the few guys carrying the large lanterns and walking with such a swagger behind them, Monk Hua might have suggested lighting the lantern slaves instead...

It's simply not necessary.

Upon entering the rear hall, the most immediate feeling in everyone's mind was...

It was completely empty...

It was so clean that one had no interest in looking around. The entire rear hall was empty except for three stone beds for placing coffins, which were placed horizontally in the middle.

It adopts a minimalist style.

Further ahead, all that remained was a solid tomb wall.

Chen Pi took out a compass and a compass needle and fiddled with them for a while, then pointed to a spot on the ground below the tomb wall that was clearly different from the rest of the area.

"This is the sealing stone for the tomb. The entrance to the underground palace is right here. Push it open."

The group of men blinked and stared expectantly at Hua Heshang and his companions.

Hua Heshang, Lang Feng, and Ye Cheng: ...

Their eyes are so easy to understand; whoever's boss gives the order, that's who does the work.

The other side had a large number of people and was in a strong position, so they didn't have the confidence to use explosives. They held their breath and obediently moved the stone slabs.

But how could something that could be used as a tomb seal be moved by just three people?

In the end, it was only after the monk Hua shamelessly pulled Pan Zi along and, relying on their meager teacher-student relationship, said a few nice words to the shop assistants that they finally managed to get help to move the stone slab.

No one cared how the people below were assigned tasks. Wu Xie pulled everyone along, carrying lanterns, and ran back to look at the murals on the tomb wall.

While looking at the murals, he told Su Li his understanding of them as stories, and Su Li listened with great interest.

The murals in ancient tombs are either realistic, allowing people to view them as historical documents.

It's either exaggerated to the point that it can be categorized as a myth or legend.

The scene depicted in this mural is quite exaggerated; the overall style is reckless and unrestrained, like blowing smoke with eyes closed.

It's really nice to listen to myths...

While they were holding a storytelling session, the construction site had already made groundbreaking progress.

Pushing aside the sealing stone, they found that the ground underneath was indistinguishable from the surrounding floor tiles. Chen Pi was confident in his calculations and simply ordered them to continue digging.

After using tools to clear the floor tiles and dig through the soil, the entrance to the underground palace that Chen Pi had imagined did not appear. Instead, a huge stone tortoise sculpture lay quietly at the bottom of the pit, as if mocking Chen Pi's confidence...

"boom……"

"Bang... Sizzle..."

"Oh my god..."

"What's going on???"

The entrenching tools in the hands of Hua Heshang and Lang Feng, who had just been digging in the soil, slammed into the stone carving with two loud thuds.

The two men standing at the edge of the pit, shining lights for the construction team, both lost their footing and fell towards the stone sculpture at the bottom of the pit.

The lamp struck the stone sculpture directly, making two hissing sounds indicating unstable circuitry, before finally breaking down completely...

Su Li, who happened to be passing by, said: "These light fixtures are no good, they're not durable enough, we'll have to replace them next time..."

The two men, dizzy and disoriented, were helped up by their companion. Still dazed, they instinctively reached for the broken lamp that was leaning against the stone sculpture...

I couldn't lift it...

"This stone carving seems to be made of lodestone."

Hua the monk frowned.

Chen Pi cursed under his breath, thinking, "Damn it, what's so hard about this magnet? The tomb owner actually tricked me!"

It should be said that they were outmaneuvered by Wang Zanghai.

He probably had this in mind when he designed this heavenly palace on the clouds.

Regardless of whether it was the outside that guided them to the 'Three Sacred Snow Mountains' dragon vein.

It is still an artificial 'Kunlun fetus' in the ice layer.

Then there's the magnet statue in the back hall, specifically designed for compass pointers.

All of this was to lure the tomb raiders who coveted the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds; who knows what awaits them later.

In this situation, he can't make any further plans unless he gets the compass and needle working again.

"Monk, light a fire to demagnetize it."

Chen Pi gave the instructions.

Upon hearing this, Su Li's eyes lit up, and she seemed to hear a notification sound in her ear... 'Your points order is about to arrive, please prepare to receive it.'

Hua and his men were preparing to set the fire, so there was no need for the guy to unpack his belongings. The guy, who had lost his precious headlight, returned to Su Li and the others, still looking pitiful with a wrinkled face.

unhappy……

I feel completely insecure...

Jie Qi punched him on the head.

"Stop fooling around with the young master, grab your weapons."

Without Xie Yuchen needing to give any instructions, the men, reminded by Xie Qi, pulled out a bag of sticks from their backpacks, quickly assembled them, and each had a large net in hand...

As Hua the monk set fire to the stone carving, the magnetism disappeared, and the compass in his hand returned to normal, Chen Pi suddenly felt a jolt in his heart when he saw Jie Guaiji's actions, and an ominous premonition surged into his mind.

Sure enough, as the magnetism disappeared, a wisp of black smoke slowly rose from the stone turtle, carrying a strange fragrance.

This fragrance is so familiar; he even secretly bought a piece to attract corpse beetles when he was in the Lu Palace.

Because it's something that exists in this world, it's sold very cheaply in the points mall; a dozen or so points can buy a lot of real money.

Thinking this, he even rummaged through his Emperor's Realm and found the palm-sized piece of Insect Fragrance Jade, which he then played with in his hands, flipping it up and down.

"Damn it, this is Insect Fragrance Jade!" Chen Pi cursed, his face darkening.

Wang Zanghai really played a dirty trick!

They'd been led down a dead end; to find a new path, they first needed to disable the magnetic turtle. Demagnetizing it would ignite the incense jade...

Each step is interconnected, and what follows is...

Rustling sounds came from all directions, and countless unknown entities were approaching from the darkness.

Wang Zanghai's next move is coming...

The ten men worked in unison, carrying the net in one hand and taking out two earplugs to cover their ears with the other. Then, they formed a circle around Xie Yuchen and the others, protecting them in the middle.

Shunzi, who was also protected in the inner circle, was deeply moved and looked at them with tears in her eyes.

Pan Zi didn't think too much about it. He found a spot closest to Wu Xie and joined the outer guard. When his colleague saw him coming, he handed him a pair of earplugs.

Looking at the earplugs in my hand, and the large scooping nets that each of my buddies had...

I didn't understand, but I did it anyway...

Although Monk Hua found their behavior a bit odd, he was completely baffled by their decision to carry nets instead of firearms...

However, adhering to the principle that there is strength in numbers and that those who log off first are the ones left alone, they carefully protected Chen Pi and huddled together with them...

Fortunately, they had some self-awareness and didn't brazenly enter the protection circle. They only protected Chen Pi to the inner circle and then voluntarily joined the protection team. Later, they also received the same equipment as Pan Zi... earplugs...

Su Li's eyes sparkled as she listened to the approaching sounds.

"They're here! They're here!!!"
