Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

"Third Uncle, you're awake!!!"

"Third Master!!!"

Pan Zi excitedly stepped forward, only to find that Wu Sansheng was not awake, but was just muttering unconsciously.

"No, innocent, hurry...go..."

Wuxie...go back..."

Wu Xie is inherently evil: ...

I'll fuck your grandpa...

Even that old fox can grit his teeth and persevere like this; he's really ruthless to himself.

After pouring out the two buckets of alcohol, Wu Xie pulled out a steamed bun and stuffed it into Wu Sansheng's mouth, then gestured for Pan Zi to do the same.

The centipedes were still half-buried in the flesh; digging them all out would be quite a ordeal for Wu Sansheng.

If he had woken up and softened his stance, Wu Xie might have made him feel better. But since he had to continue pretending, there was nothing that could be done.

"There's no anesthetic. Anyway, Uncle is still unconscious, so it's not a big problem. These bugs are poisonous, so we need to dig them out as soon as possible."

Wu Xie handed a small surgical toolbox to Pan Zi and told him to start.

Pan Zi is skilled at treating these external injuries. He usually treats himself without anesthesia, just by forcing it. He doesn't feel any problem treating Wu Sansheng now.

The sounds of a scalpel cutting through flesh, scraping away rotten flesh, and digging out a centipede stuck in the flesh made Wuxie grin.

Emma, ​​that old fox, is so patient. No wonder she's so good at causing trouble; she's ruthless to others, and ruthless to herself too...

Compared to him, I'm still a bit too inexperienced.

While they were tending to Wu Sansheng's wounds, someone else was resting on the spot. The guy who'd said he'd left all his gear outside started pulling out... instant noodles again...

No one cared how they kept the hot water warm until now; they just ate it. The hot noodle soup went down their throats, and no one bothered to find out the reason.

The main problem is that there are just too many of these 'roots,' making it impossible to dig them all out.

If they had witnessed these strange things from the beginning, they would have been more interested in investigating them, and it would have been even better if they could have gained some benefit from them.

But looking back now, everything's been fine. Regardless of where they came from, they know how to choose between quietly taking benefits and getting silenced if they pry into the truth.

The two groups met up, ate something simple to replenish their energy, Panzi carried Wu Sansheng on his back, and everyone continued on their way.

As for asking Wu Laosi to interpret the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish, Wu Xie asked, "What is that? What kind of fish? Can you eat it?"

The bronze fish with snake-like eyebrows, currently lying on the workbench of an ancient script expert: It's been included in the official register, thank you...

Wu Sansheng, the only one who was hungry: Glug glug glug...

You're so pretentious, you should...

……

'The Land Where Xuanwu Rejects Corpses'

'Water flows down the river channel to the bottom'

No one questioned Wu Xie's ability to find his way; Wu Xiaogou was used as a human map for navigation.

Although even the map itself didn't quite understand the specific route, it was completely relying on the coded message given by Wu Sansheng and its irrational intuition to wander around blindly...

But this strange constitution is just so unreasonable, like it has a built-in navigation buff...

Black: "Is this the place?"

Li: "I think so."

Fat: "Believe in naivety, it must be here."

The three heads huddled together, looking at the huge chain that stretched out of the cave, and muttered to themselves.

After speaking, everyone looked at Zhang Qiling, who was following behind.

This is a regular customer.

Zhang Qiling met the gazes of the two pairs of eyes and the pair of sunglasses, and nodded slightly.

The three of them turned to look at Wu Xie again and gave him a thumbs up.

"As expected of you."

Wuxie: ...

I'll take it as a compliment.

Several leaders stood at the cave entrance, looking down into the dim space and at the countless intricate, crisscrossing giant chains.

A huge coffin was placed on a fine stone platform, with massive bronze chains intertwined around it, and nine giant beasts guarding the surroundings.

"Goodness, the centipedes we encountered before were nothing compared to these."

Fatty Wang stared at the centipede, which was at least ten meters long, his mouth agape.

"Is this the legendary centipede?"

One of the foreign mercenaries had clearly studied Chinese; he spoke fluently and clearly, and even knew about centipedes.

"So this is the Nine Dragons Carrying a Coffin? So the Wan Nu King is inside!!" another mercenary chimed in. It was clear that these two were very interested in Chinese culture, or perhaps in the legendary Wan Nu King who was said to be immortal.

According to the records left by Wang Zanghai, this Wannu King was not human, but a monster that emerged from the ground. The Wannu Kings did not inherit their positions, but rather the next generation was born from the underground gate after the death of the previous one.

The death of the King of Wannu was not a true death, but rather he was reborn from the ground in a new body.

Every Wan Nu King is actually the same person.

This is the legendary, other kind of immortality.

Su Li lay on the stone wall and looked out for a long time.

"Where are the human-faced birds? I haven't seen a single one. Are they hibernating?"

After seeing that ugly bronze statue, he was quite eager to see what the real person looked like.

"This is a snow-capped mountain. If they need to hibernate, it's not hibernation, it's a long sleep."

Wu Xie continued.

"They probably went to look for food," Xie Yuchen guessed.

"The bodyguards abandoned their boss and went out to find food. They are so unprofessional. Aren't they afraid that someone will turn their boss upside down when they are not around?"

Unlike me, who's blind, I love what I do, and I'm dedicated to my job and never let anyone down!

Zhang Qiling glanced at him sideways...

He would have believed it if he hadn't seen him with a grin as he cut his employer's rope, letting the employer freefall.

Zhang Qiling's high-beam flashlight shone directly into a corner of the arena below, a blind spot blocked by a huge rock.

Black Bear understood immediately and pointed to the spot illuminated by the light.

"Look over there, there's a path behind that rock that leads straight to the outside. When you run out of ammunition, don't stop, leave through there immediately, understand?"

"I understand!"

The ten henchmen responded in unison.

"Fourth Grandfather, as you saw at the Treasure Pavilion, Aunt Wenjin isn't here. We'll have Monk Hua and the others take you out later."

Wu Xie advised Chen Pi.

One of the reasons Chen Pi agreed to take Wu Xie on this trip with Wu Sansheng was that he wanted to find Chen Wenjin.

The archaeological team had entered the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds, and some of them did perish there, but Chen Wenjin was clearly not among them.

Although Chen Pi was unwilling to admit his age, he was not a stubborn person. If it weren't for the bracelet given to him by Xie Yuchen and the help he received from these young people, he might have died here.

Now that he's seen everything, what he wants is clearly not here, so there's nothing to refute. He just nodded slightly and said nothing more.

The sound of wings flapping came from the sky, but before anyone could see what it was, they were stunned.

Whoosh...

Something fell from the sky and hit the ground with a thud.
