Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

With their destination clear, the six of them landed on a small open space in front of the ancient building and looked up at the building in front of them.

The ancient building, silent for many years, stood there quietly. It was as if they could see through the building, across endless time and space, and glimpse a trace of the mysterious family from many years ago.

Wu Xie was staring intently at the ancient building in front of him when he suddenly felt a gentle tap on his shoulder. He instinctively turned his head...

A stark white skull was thrust right in front of him, so close that he could clearly see how many teeth were missing and how many were decayed.

The sudden impact startled Wu Xie, who instinctively kicked his legs and retreated quickly, while unconsciously gathering spiritual energy in his hands and then unleashing it.

The skeleton standing upright behind Wu Xie was unable to dodge and was struck squarely by the spiritual power with its own sharp attribute.

The skeleton, which had remained intact for an unknown amount of time at the bottom of the lake, shattered into pieces in an instant. Had the shadowy figure hiding behind it not been quick to dodge, the attack would have taken him with it.

Black Bear patted his chest with lingering fear, looked at the skeletons scattered on the ground, and began to accuse Wu Xie of his evil deeds with both hands and feet.

Wu Xie's response to Hei Xiazi's accusations was...

She pulled the young man over, grabbed his long, slender hand, and made a gesture to silence him across her neck, accompanied by a fierce, dog-like glare, conveying a strong sense of threat.

Su Li, acting as a mobile lighting stand, peeked out from behind Xie Yuchen, while several spotlights hanging from vines surrounded the group, making sure they were present.

Hei Xiazi wasn't afraid of Wu Xie's relatively harmless threat at all. The mute had beaten the blind man more than once or twice, and the blind man himself provoked him every day. Why would he be afraid of someone who was just taking advantage of the situation?

Unperturbed, Black Bear bared his teeth, his hands itching with desire, wishing he could grab his foolish apprentice right now, give him a good rub, and test his feel for him.

Just as I was about to put my idea into practice, I was interrupted by a chubby hand that suddenly appeared.

Fatty Wang joined the chaos, carrying an old-fashioned backpack. With a simple shake of the backpack, the clear lake water in front of everyone instantly became murky.

? ? ? ? ? ?

They moved in unison to leave the area that had been polluted by mud and sand.

Realizing he had almost incurred public wrath, Fatty Wang couldn't afford to make any moves. He quickly pulled out a carefully protected package from his rotten backpack, which had already been torn open with a slight shake.

This looks like a backpack that an ordinary villager would use, but these things that are clearly under special protection look quite unusual.

The group exchanged glances and, with perfect understanding, each removed a searchlight from a vine, then began exploring their surroundings in pairs.

Seven or eight backpacks of similar style were scattered around the ancient building, sleeping soundly at the bottom of the dark lake along with their owners.

After carefully examining the contents, they found a package in one of the backpacks that looked similar to the one in the previous backpack.

It seems that not just anyone is qualified to be responsible for safeguarding the things inside!

We've only just reached the outer perimeter of the ancient building ruins, and we've already lost seven or eight people. That's a pretty high attrition rate.

After storing the two packages in his spatial storage, Zhang Qiling silently walked ahead of the crowd and pushed open the ancient building's main gate first.

No matter what, it's Zhang's territory. If something happens that we can't handle, we'll be the ones who can react more quickly, giving them more time to react and provide assistance.

The heavy doors of the ancient building were slowly pushed open. The pressure of the water flow stirred up the fine sand and broken moss that had fallen from the wooden doors, blurring everyone's vision for a moment.

The force generated by the interaction of the internal and external water flows was quite strong. As the group took in the scene inside the first floor, bronze bells began to vibrate silently on the red ropes wrapped around the empty first floor space.

The bronze bell, swaying in the water, made no sound, but created barely perceptible ripples that swept directly toward the people at the door.

The group felt a sudden dizziness, a slight daze, before a familiar voice echoed deep within their minds.

"break!"

The light, rhythmic shouts didn't reach their eardrums, but instead struck straight into their minds, instantly clearing their heads.

Black Bear rubbed his forehead, his eyes behind his sunglasses gleaming with the light of money. Several wisps of puppet silk, almost invisible to others, appeared at his fingertips, drifting and wrapping around the nearest bells.

The bronze bell, which was gently swaying in the water with the red rope, rippled again. Black Bear reacted quickly, and the puppet silk at his fingertips swiftly wrapped around the center of the bronze bell, stopping this small-scale sonic attack.

Xie Yuchen manipulated the water around him, gently dispersing them before the ripples could engulf them, earning Wu Xiaogou a adoring look from his eyes.

Well, today is another day where Wu Xiaogou's emotional value is maxed out!!!

Once they confirmed that there was nothing else on the first floor except for the dense array of bronze bells, the group felt less apprehensive.

In other places, with such a large number of bells, they might have to work harder and suffer some losses without Ah Li cheating, but in the water...

Xie Yuchen sensed the surrounding water flow and controlled the water flow in this bronze bell array to keep it as stable as possible, preventing it from colliding with the bell core in the center.

Apart from the lighting technician Li, who stayed by Xie Yuchen's side, the rest of the group sharpened their knives and moved among the ropes, cutting the red ropes that connected to the bells one by one.

The bell, no longer held in place by the red rope, was suspended in mid-air by the still water flow before being stored in their space nearby.

Ah Li will need this when setting up the Heart-Searching Array; I can sell it to Old Qin then, hehehe~~~

While managing the various military bases designated as key points by Zuli, Qin Ye also had to deal with the various bigwigs who had received the news and were trying to seize command of the first batch of training teams that had successfully completed their physical training. He was so busy that he didn't have time to rest, and he sneezed violently.

Sigh... I really want to retire right now!!!

Let whoever wants to do this job do it; I really don't want to serve them anymore. They're all a bunch of damn bastards...

The four-person demolition team worked together, turning the neatly arranged bronze bell array into a room full of scattered red ropes in just over ten minutes...

Zhang Qiling showed no awareness of the danger of bringing people to expose his own weaknesses. He even seemed a little unsatisfied with his rare display of skill in the water, and lifted his long legs to walk towards the stairs.

The others followed suit.

As Wu Xie went upstairs, glancing around, he immediately spotted several skeletons pressed against the back of the door they had come through.

Ok……

No wonder I didn't see them in the bell array earlier; they had pushed them behind the gate.
