Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

The cave, which had been ransacked by Su Li, was now empty except for a figure draped in feathered robes, who was tightly bound by ropes to a stone pillar supporting the high platform.

Watching helplessly as the Queen Mother of the West's consciousness vanished, the bluebird let out a painful roar.

Looking at that young and beautiful face, now contorted in a ferocious grimace, like a savage beast, Wu Xie couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment...

After Chen Wenjin entered the meteorite, she was no longer Chen Wenjin.

Like the millions of other bodies here, what remains is merely an immortal shell.

The consciousness that truly belongs to this physical body will be devoured after entering the meteorite jade. The consciousness becomes nourishment for the Queen Mother of the West's longevity, while the physical body is left behind for the Queen Mother of the West and her most loyal follower, the Bluebird, to use.

Having actually experienced the 20-year longevity experience card, Chen Wenjin distrusts them and is unwilling to give up her youthful body and accept the fact that she has aged 20 years in an instant.

So she resolutely entered the meteorite jade, leading to her end.

This...is her choice...

…………

"Tick-tock...tick-tock...tick-tock..."

Panzi vaguely regained consciousness, and before he was fully awake, he heard the sound of water dripping.

Did you forget to turn off the tap before going to bed?

I opened my eyes and got up. All I could see was pitch black; I couldn't see a single ray of light.

"Well……"

"Panzi, you're awake?"

It was the voice of the young master.

Pan Zi looked in the direction of the sound, but it was still pitch black. Something was wrong, something very wrong!

He remembered now: before he lost consciousness, we were in the Queen Mother of the West's palace, on the Queen Mother's throne. How could it be so dark?!

Wu Xie looked at Pan Zi, who had opened his eyes and sat up, but whose eyes were lifeless and unfocused.

Holy crap! Are you blind?

Hei Xiazi, who was playing with the dripping water from a leaky plastic bag on Jie Lianhuan's forehead, looked at Pan Zi, who had been buffed with blindness, and then at Jie Lianhuan under his command.

"Snapped……"

"Wait a minute, let the blind man see it!!!"

The plastic bag was carelessly tossed aside, and I had already run off to check on Panzi.

The blind man has already seen it; the glittering spirit stone is beckoning to him!

Hehehe!!!

Xie Lianhuan, who was still unconscious due to inhaling an overdose of the powder, was abruptly awakened by a feeling of suffocation.

His body was soaking wet, and something was covering his face, making it impossible for him to breathe. A tremendous feeling of suffocation filled his brain, and the instinct for survival made him struggle frantically...

Damn it! ! ! !

Wang Pangzi, who was applying the antidote to Mop and Er Gouzi, turned around and saw Jie Lianhuan struggling wildly like a dehydrated fish, with a black plastic bag pressed tightly against his face.

Before he could rescue Xie Lianhuan from suffocation, the man finally managed to touch his face and, just before he suffocated, ripped off the plastic bag covering his face.

He sat up, greedily inhaling the slightly chilly air, and his oxygen-deprived mind worked for a while.

"Hey, is this some new torture technique you've just mastered, the 'Ten Cruelest Tortures of the Qing Dynasty'?" Fatty Wang pointed at Xie Lianhuan, who was still struggling to breathe and hadn't recovered.

Ah this...

Black Bear awkwardly pushed up his sunglasses. If Black Bear said he didn't do it on purpose, would you believe him?

Without the slightest hesitation, the five friends shook their heads in perfect unison.

"Third Master? Third Master, what's wrong with Third Master???"

"Huh? Third Uncle, no, Xie Lianhuan is fine, he's perfectly alright, Panzi, don't get excited."

Seeing that Pan Zi was physically disabled but determined, and that he was very anxious and agitated as soon as he heard that Xie Lianhuan was in trouble, Wu Xie quickly tried to comfort him.

Jie Lianhuan waved his hand in front of him, but without sensing any change in light or shadow, he overheard Wu Xie comforting Pan Zi, and almost laughed out of exasperation.

Who the hell said I'm alright? I've gone blind! This is serious!

"Mop, Mop Bro, Waaaaah, where are you, Mop Bro?? Waaaaah, I've gone blind, Mop Bro!!"

"Ah!!!! My eyes! My eyes! My eyes!"

Su Li, who was cherishing the jade compass that had been away from her for most of the day, was startled by the commotion and almost threw out an evil-slaying array.

Er Gouzi, who was originally yelling "Mop Bro" in fear, was completely dumbfounded. How come Mop Bro is yelling even more pitifully than me? Should I cry now or not?

"Shut up, be quiet."

After packing up her sleeping bag, Ah Ning touched her eyes and realized she wasn't blind. Annoyed by the two's noise, she slapped them both on the head, completely stunning them.

After examining Pan Zi, Hei Xiazi went to check on Xie Lianhuan and Tuoba Er Gouzi, and finally triumphantly won a spirit stone from Wang Pangzi.

Although it successfully inflicted blindness, the drug's effects were too strong, which is a drawback...

Black Bear didn't care; at least he got to make some money back from this chubby kid. He was happy!

In a great mood, Hei Xiazi even found his white mice particularly pleasing to the eye, and he and Wang Pangzi discussed and agreed to detoxify the four of them.

The four who regained their sight: ...

Could you please give me a heads-up before the next drug trial? I almost thought I was going blind.

That won't do. If we give them a heads-up beforehand, it won't feel the same...

……

"Why is there no movement down there?" Su Li squatted down next to the female corpse sitting upright on the ice, propped her chin up with one hand, and tilted her head to look at the black hole below the ice.

Black Bear scratched his head. "Could it be that this corpse was too attractive to that big guy, and it ran into it and killed itself?"

"No, it's still alive." The system's acquisition notification is still up, but why isn't it moving?

With a flick of his wrist, the puppet threads flew out, and Hei Xiazi deftly controlled the female corpse to rise, gracefully pacing small steps across the ice.

"The blind man told it to get up and wander around. Maybe the little pet is just tired from playing with its owner?"

What a big little pet...

He's gone completely mad and kept a giant snake, the size of a Harmony Express train, as his pet's stand-in...

"So what exactly is the identity of this so-called stand-in number one, that the Snake Queen, who holds special significance for the Queen Mother of the West, would treat her so specially? This is quite an extraordinary background..."

Fatty Wang was very curious about this, as such an ordinary corpse was no match for the substitute inside the meteorite jade.

It has not achieved immortality, has lost its vitality, and has even slightly decayed, yet it still occupies the first position as the substitute for the Queen Mother of the West, sitting on the throne in place of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Serpent Mother, who held extraordinary significance for the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West, was also so special to it, or rather, so obsessed with it.

This whole thing is obsessed with it, crazy about it, they'd bang their heads against the wall for it like crazy!!!

Wu Xie frowned, and a name involuntarily popped into his mind—Bluebird!
