Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

"Good heavens, it's really going to rise from the dead! Blackie, you're too unlucky!!!" Fatty Wang immediately took two steps back, and in the blink of an eye, a medicine bottle and a pistol were ready in one hand.

"Master Hua, I was wrong..."

Black Bear's words were as smooth as ever, his cowardice was swift, but his body showed no fear whatsoever.

At this moment, he was still leaning against the coffin with great interest, keeping a watchful eye on the Qilin corpse inside with its pair of yellow beast eyes.

"Why is there no movement at all after you've had your eyes open for so long? Is the source power insufficient? Should I call my silly apprentice to give you some boost?"

The group, who had initially thought something had happened based on Wang Pangzi's reaction, waited for a long time, but the coffin remained silent. The remaining few people couldn't help but come over to check out the situation out of curiosity.

The Qilin corpse lay upright in the coffin, its eyes wide open, but its pupils were cloudy and unfocused.

"Brother, do you think this counts as the corpse rising or not?" Wu Xie couldn't help but ask Zhang Qiling.

What kind of person just opens their eyes but doesn't lift a finger?

Halfway up?

"Why don't you touch it, Tianzhen?" After watching for a while, Fatty Wang couldn't help but offer a bad suggestion.

Wu Xie looked at Fatty Wang speechlessly. Although they always teased him about his strange constitution, saying that he would always rise from a coffin when it was opened, it shouldn't be this strange...

If being touched by him could revive a corpse...

"Bring it to you."

Before Wu Xie could react, Hei Xiazi had already grabbed Wu Xie's hand and shoved it into the coffin.

"You damn blind bastard, you'd better take turns keeping watch with both eyes when you sleep lately, or I'm going to assassinate you!!!"

Wu Xie was startled by Hei Xiazi's sudden move, and after he came to his senses, he unleashed a barrage of attacks...

"Moved."

As soon as Zhang Qiling spoke, the two who were fooling around immediately stopped.

Swallowing hard, Wu Xie stiffly turned his gaze to his hand, which was still pressed against the chest of the Qilin corpse, feeling the faint, subtle sensation beneath it.

"Is this... really that weird?"

"Naive, just like you!!"

Fatty Wang gave Wu Xie a thumbs up, expressing his admiration for Wu Xie's physique, which seemed to buff demons and monsters.

Wu Xie ignored him, staring intently at the Qilin corpse whose chest was rising and falling slightly.

"Does this count as a resurrection? Do resurrected corpses regain their heartbeat and breathing???"

“It’s not breathing or heartbeat.” Zhang Qiling stared at the Qilin corpse, watching its slightly rising and falling chest, and tentatively placed his Tomb Raider Finger on it.

The tactile sense honed through special training is extremely sensitive, allowing one to perceive subtle changes in mechanisms even through thick tomb walls.

At this moment, a special rhythm was being transmitted through the Faqiu Finger to Zhang Qiling's senses from within the Qilin's corpse.

This feeling……

It looks like countless tiny bubbles are constantly bursting and regenerating, which is very magical.

"Don't worry, it can't get up yet. It can't move until its horns grow out."

The Qilin corpse was still in its final stages of formation; before the horns grew out, the consciousness within it could not yet control the body.

Otherwise, with all this fuss and tackling, commenting and criticizing it, it would have already lost its temper and gone berserk.

"I see!" Fatty Wang exclaimed, his sly eyes darting around...

"Hey Blackie, why don't you get this old guy up and stretch him out? I've never seen a Qilin corpse before! I wonder if this old guy has a tail."

Believe it or not, the blind man actually did have that intention.

The two hit it off immediately, and Hei Xiazi used his fingertips to send out puppet threads, controlling the Qilin corpse to sit up.

"You are not allowed to bring it to the opera."

Since Ali had confirmed that there was no immediate danger, Xie Yuchen stopped trying to stop their mischievous behavior.

But the thought of that black-faced creature performing the "Drunken Concubine" act with the corpse of the bluebird in the Queen Mother of the West's palace made my vision go black.

If this guy did it again, he really couldn't guarantee he wouldn't kill him with a single blow from his dragon-patterned staff.

"I know, I know. We're just going to study what parts this old guy has grown. Once we're done, we'll have Little Ali send him away, okay?"

It's tough on the players in the eerie world, though, because once the Qilin Corpse completes its evolution, it's considered to be a boss-level existence.

Just imagine how abysmal the success rate would be!

Seeing that the two clueless guys were starting to grab people and start tearing off their clothes and pants, Xie Yuchen grabbed Wu Xie and Su Li and turned them around.

Innocent: ? ? ? ? ?

Xiao Hua, what's wrong with you? I'm not Ali, I'm an adult!!!

The bewildered and innocent girl tried to struggle and resist, but when she met Xie Yuchen's oppressive gaze, she couldn't utter a single word...

At once……

Those bastards from the Xie family, give me back my gentle and lovely little Hua sister!!!

When the sleazy duo, with satisfied smiles on their faces, handed the disheveled Qilin corpse to Su Li to deal with...

That scene was really hard to describe. If Uncle Hat saw the expressions on your faces right now, he'd probably instinctively pull out a rose gold bracelet and put it on your wrists, okay? ~_~

After watching Su Li sell the Qilin corpse, the two pulled their friends aside and started talking about the changes in the creature's body.

Besides its entire body of skin transforming into angular scales, a small tail actually sprouted from the tailbone behind it.

Its size and appearance were slightly larger than the golden statue in the underwater tomb that was controlled by a cat's soul.

"Don't let its small size fool you, it has pretty high defense. Fatty couldn't even leave a mark on it with an ordinary dagger. It was only when Blackie used the dagger given to him by Master Yunqing that he was able to break through its defense."

Hei Xiazi gestured to demonstrate the tail's defensive capabilities, and the two men's descriptions piqued Wu Xie's curiosity to the point of obsession. He wished Su Li would bring the person back so he could take a look.

In the end, it was Zhang Qiling who stopped them from continuing the discussion. No further words were needed; just one sentence...

"The sixth floor is the Zhang family's treasure vault."

"Let's talk when we get back."

"Walk."

Wang Pangzi and Hei Xiazi ended the topic in unison, and the two of them, one on each side, supported Wu Xie and headed towards the stairs leading to the sixth floor.

Wu Xie was inexplicably carried away by the two men...

You two are real dogs!!!

The six of them walked briskly to the top of the stairs on the sixth floor. One more step and they would officially enter the sixth floor area.

A thick stone gate blocked their way.

The almost black stone gate stood at the entrance to the wooden staircase; the completely different materials did not look out of place.

Everyone looked up at the patterns carved on the stone gate, and then at Zhang Qiling, who was also looking up at the stone gate.
