Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

If it were any other kind of evil entity, Su Li wouldn't be able to handle it with her current cultivation level. At most, she could avoid it for now and set up an array later to make it undergo its tribulation ahead of time.

But this is a demon tree, it's a wood-type tree.

This is a perfect match for my major.

In the dim space, the wood-attribute spiritual energy surged, gradually enveloping the massive roots of the nine-headed cypress tree before them.

The nine-headed cypress, which originally emitted red and green light, began to gradually separate the two colors. The red light still covered the entire tree, while the green light was shrinking towards the roots.

The green light gathered and concentrated, gradually transforming into a deep, dark green, beating rhythmically like a heart.

Su Li stepped forward and patted the dark green orb of light.

"Stay put, I'll take you away in a bit."

As if it understood, the dark green light flickered twice and disappeared into the tree roots.

……

Inside the tomb chamber, separated from the outside world by only one wall, two dogs stealthily crept in through the tomb passage behind the stone coffin.

"Is this the place?" the shorter figure asked in a low voice.

The tall figure scanned the surroundings.

He nodded. "It should be."

Su Li moved her wrist and lightly tapped her finger on the stone coffin. "That's it."

Hei Xiazi confirmed. "Then..."

"Do it."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Black Bear kicked the stone coffin open, and black smoke emanating an ominous aura billowed out. Immediately afterward, a blood-stained hand clung to the wall of the stone coffin.

"Beep beep, a bizarre creature—a blood corpse—has been detected. It is worth 500 points. Do you wish to redeem it?" The system's voice rang in my mind.

A bizarre creature? 500 points?

"I'll talk about it later," Su Li replied in her mind.

"So you're the one who forced my brother to kneel, right? What kind of class do you have to be so arrogant?" Su Li said arrogantly, pointing at the stone coffin.

The blood-soaked corpse crawling out: ? ? ? ?

Wadashiwa doesn't understand smida...

Black Bear covered his mouth.

"Ahem, that's over the top."

Su Li, who was having a good time being mischievous, remained unmoved until she saw the blood-soaked humanoid figure crawl out of the stone coffin...

"Yue..." Even though I'd already been through the ordeal of the Corpse Cave, and even though I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked by how ugly it was. Thank you...

"Pfft... Poor little Ali, she can't even take this, what will she do in the future!" Black Bear sighed gloatingly.

You should know that in the journey ahead, ugly, smelly, and disgusting things will appear one after another, each challenging the limits of human aesthetic tolerance.

Su Li also realized that this was indeed a difficulty she had to overcome. The plot had to move forward, and there were many more ugly things to come.

To put it bluntly, I just haven't trained enough. I was too well protected by my sect in the cultivation world before.

Su Li gritted her teeth, suppressing her nausea, and with a wave of her hand, the vines in her palm lashed out, directly whipping away the blood corpse that had just crawled out.

Accompanying vines: Wait! No! Something's not right? You promised to overcome it! Why me?

Clearly, Su Li unilaterally refused to accept the resistance of the accompanying vines, wielding the vines in her hands with great force, whipping the blood corpses around the tomb.

Blood Corpse: That's too brutal. You think you can bully blood corpses because they have no human rights?

When the whipping in the tomb stopped, the blood corpse no longer showed any resistance.

Even when stepping on the blood corpse that only showed slight twitching, the mushy feel underfoot still made Su Li feel very uncomfortable.

With a look of disgust, I turned the blood corpse over and a seed fell into its slightly open mouth.

The moment the seed landed in the mouth, a flash of green light appeared, and it quickly sprouted and grew. Before long, the slender vines wrapped the bright red blood corpse into a green rice dumpling.

The bear approached and crouched down.

"We'll tie it back into the stone coffin later. Loosen it up except for its mouth, otherwise it won't move."

Su Li raised her hand to indicate understanding.

With the same kick he had just used to kick the coffin lid, Hei Xiazi kicked the blood corpse back into the stone coffin.

With a flick of the vines in Su Li's hand, the coffin lid was closed tightly.

"Done." Su Li clapped her hands.

Brother Zhang is just acting, he can scare people, but to actually kneel before this blood corpse, just thinking about it makes Su Li angry.

Black Bear ruffled Su Li's hair. "Alright, you hide well. I'll go get my things and then go find Old Qin to meet up."

"Go on, go on, but don't touch that snake cypress. Let Miss Baoyun take you up there," Su Li waved her hand.

"Alright, the blind man's gone. Be careful."

It'll be quite a while before we see each other again. Hei Xiazi, who's used to taking care of kids, is already a little reluctant to leave.

After seeing off the reluctant Black Bear, Su Li waved his hand and set up a small concealment array on the stone coffin lid, then casually sat down on it to rest.

Hearing the increasingly clear digging sounds coming from the direction of the opposite tomb wall, Su Li knew that Wu Sansheng's team was approaching.

really.

With a 'plop' sound, something was inserted into the wall, and the outer wall tiles were pulled out one by one.

The sound made Su Li's fingers ache slightly. She wondered how much pain Zhang Ge had endured practicing his "Tomb Raider Finger" technique.

With the rustling sounds outside and the voices of several people talking, the alum acid in the interlayer should have been drained out.

With a loud bang, shattered bricks flew into the tomb chamber.

Fortunately, the stone coffin that Su Li was sitting on was far away, otherwise, if the scene from the Corpse Cave happened again, Su Li guaranteed that he would definitely not be able to resist putting a sack over Wu Sansheng's head on the spot.

As the violent demolition work by the thugs outside came to an end, a flashlight beam shone into the tomb chamber.

After observing the surroundings, a hand holding a match reached in, presumably to check if there was oxygen in the tomb. Only after everything was confirmed did they hear the sounds of people preparing to enter from outside.

Immediately afterwards, the group of five people squeezed in one after another.

As they lit the eternal lamps inside, the entire tomb chamber was illuminated.

The tomb is quite spacious, with a bronze square ding placed in the very center. The top of the ding corresponds exactly to the sun, moon and stars engraved on the top of the tomb.

On the southern side of the tomb, directly opposite where they had entered, lay a heavy stone coffin.

Behind the stone coffin was a passageway. He could only vaguely tell from this direction that it was sloping downwards, but he didn't know where it led.

Wu Xie held up his flashlight and looked around, finding it increasingly strange.

"Wu Xie, stop wandering around. What are you doing looking around like that?" Wu Sansheng scolded.

Wu Xie pointed to the surrounding walls with his flashlight.

"Third Uncle, this tomb is a bit strange. How did these splashed red marks form?"

Indeed, there were many bloody marks on the walls and floor of the tomb, as if something had hit and splashed them, which was quite strange.

"Third Master, come quick! There's treasure here!" Before Wu Sansheng and Wuxie could figure it out, they were drawn to Pan Zi's shout.
