Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Black Bear, who was secretly putting away his bow and arrows and preparing to slip away, looked at the black gold ancient sword held to his neck, and his signature fake smile instantly appeared on his face.

"Dumb, mute..."

Xie Yuchen covered his face. If this thing only shoots at one side, and all the chains on that side break, it will be thrown in the direction of Wu Xie.

Su Li directed the accompanying vines to pry open the heavy suspended furnace, retrieved the defensive array on the jade compass, and patted the head of Wu·Little Unlucky Egg·Xie.

Wu Xie turned halfway to the side so Su Li could pat his head, giving the impression that Su Li was about to yell at him, "Don't be scared by my patting."

However, no, because the little brat wouldn't.

The little brat only knows...

"My poor, naive little darling~~"

Wuxie: ...

The suspended furnace had been pulled down to the ground by the vines and placed there. Fatty Wang was wiggling his big butt and lying on the furnace, looking inside through the hole in the lid.

Wu Xie felt an inexplicable urge to touch that wiggling bottom. He grinned mischievously at Su Li, and the two little ones tiptoed over and slapped her twice.

The slap was exceptionally loud...

Fatty Wang was hopping mad, clutching his backside. When he turned around, he saw the two grinning fools and exclaimed, "I've wasted my time spoiling you two ungrateful brats!"

Upon hearing Wang Pangzi's accusation, the two exchanged a glance and instantly put on innocent, obedient smiles.

It really makes you lose your temper instantly.

Having escaped Zhang Qiling's deathly gaze, Hei Xiazi, clutching his throbbing head, groped his way over and circled the alchemy furnace.

"Tsk tsk tsk...the highest level of alchemy~~" Hei Xiazi looked at Chen Wenjin standing to the side, uttering a strange aria.

Chen Wenjin rolled her eyes, speechless, and said no more.

Hei Xiazi adjusted his sunglasses. As long as the other party didn't get in his way, the blind man was still very gentlemanly.

With a gentlemanly air, Hei Xiazi raised his hand and plunged a dagger into the alchemy furnace. The two men, who had just recovered from their shock, nearly choked on the dagger with a 'snap'.

The sharp dagger scraped against the gap between the stove lid and the stove body, producing a tooth-grinding metallic scraping sound.

The dagger spun around on the alchemy furnace, and when it was pulled out again, it was covered with a ring of black, viscous substance, which looked rather nauseating.

"Eek..." Su Li had just curiously moved closer a little when she pulled out the dagger. Instantly, she covered her nose and hid behind Xie Yuchen, grabbing his arm and covering her face with it.

Wu Xie pinched his nose, wanting to back away, but he was too curious, so he moved closer to Hei Xiazi to look at the dagger in his hand.

The dark, viscous substance looked like it had been sitting for years, a thick paste that had lost much of its moisture. It clung to the dagger for a long time without dripping.

Under the light, Wu Xie felt that the sticky thing wasn't completely black; under the strong light, it seemed to have a reddish glow.

The irresistible odor stimulated everyone's senses, and the pungent, fishy smell lingered around the dagger.

"Good heavens, this smells even stronger than the swill that my neighbor's second aunt has been storing for three years!"

Wu Xie looked at Fatty Wang with a green face and asked, "So why does your neighbor's second aunt keep a bucket of swill for three years?"

Bah, we've gone off-topic. He's more interested in what's inside this alchemy furnace that could produce such an inhuman smell.

"If you want to know, just open it and take a look."

Black Bear threw the useless military dagger on the ground and rubbed his hands together, looking ready to fight.

Fatty Wang pulled out gloves and masks and gave them to the two men. After they put them on, he put a small pill in each of their mouths.

Ready...

Open the coffin!!!

? ? ? ?

Pshaw... Open the lid!!!

The heavy bronze furnace lid was thrown to the ground with a dull thud by the three men using tremendous force.

The moment the lid was opened, Su Li, who peeked out from behind Xie Yuchen, saw an ominous black mist rising from the alchemy furnace.

A chilling black mist swirled around the three people who opened the lid, seemingly trying to envelop them but failing to do so.

The robes worn by the three figures faintly emitted a spiritual light, preventing the black mist from getting any closer. Before the black mist could make any further move, a wisp of mist, faintly glowing red, drifted out from the jade pendant on the Black Bear's wrist, enticing the black mist to flow into the pendant...

"Young, Young Master San!!!" Pan Zi was dumbfounded by the change, his voice barely audible to himself.

When the Third Master and the others opened the lid just now, the grayish mist that came out made him think it was just his imagination because the alchemy furnace hadn't been opened for a long time.

Unexpectedly, before any reaction could be made, another, even darker mist, glowing with a red light, appeared!

But those three gentlemen don't seem to notice anything at all. Should he say something to remind them?

"Wow! What a pot of aged broth!!!" After opening the lid, Black Bear was the first to peek inside while wearing a mask, ignoring the coolness around his wrist.

The little girl is acting like she's about to eat; it seems this black mist is very nourishing.

"Hey...you blind bastard, I didn't believe your nonsense!" Fatty Wang peeked out...and was critically hit...

Black Bear grinned and pulled Wu Xie, whose face was also green, closer. "My evil is right here, so I'm asking you whether you believe it or not."

Wuxie: ...

Is this... considered a pun? Can we deduct money from this blind man's pay?

The three people's behavior piqued Su Li's curiosity, making her eager to join in and watch the excitement, yet also afraid of seeing something disgusting.

In the end, curiosity prevailed, and hesitantly pulled Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qiling closer...

The original color of the bronze alchemy furnace is completely unrecognizable inside.

The entire inner wall was covered with a dark, viscous liquid, like paste, which enveloped some tiny, skeletal-like objects, covering the entire inner wall like tiles being laid during renovations.

Thick black liquid gathered at the bottom of the alchemy furnace, with granular objects about the size of a little finger piled together, looking like insect eggs, giving one the illusion that there were living creatures jumping inside.

Countless insect egg-like objects were immersed in a thick liquid, guarding the central area as if protecting it.

That area that seemed out of place inside the alchemy furnace.

There was no viscous black liquid, no egg-shaped objects that triggered trypophobia, and no skeletons of unknown creatures.

It stood there clean and tidy, like a lotus seedpod, with a small orange-yellow pill shaped like a medicinal elixir placed in each of its nine holes.

Upon seeing the pill-like objects in the center, the group simultaneously looked towards the star chart-like stone platform not far away, where similar objects were also placed.

The thought that all those things were refined from that disgusting alchemy furnace...

yue……
