Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

At this moment, Pan Zi had already climbed to the top of the four-legged square cauldron, peering into the space inside with his eyes shining.

Attracted by his voice, the others climbed up to investigate and found a headless, mummified corpse bound inside the cauldron.

The ropes and clothes on the mummified corpse were rotten beyond recognition, with only some jade jewelry hanging on its body, and some pieces were scattered inside the cauldron.

Wu Sansheng deduced that this was a captured enemy nobleman whose head had been sacrificed at the pit of human heads and whose body had been placed here. Judging from his clothing and jewelry, this person was of high status.

After collecting the jewelry he could reach, Pan Zi excitedly jumped into the cauldron and began searching, as if afraid of missing some treasure.

Zhang Qiling simply watched silently from the sidelines, making no attempt to stop them.

Seeing Pan Zi's reckless behavior, Su Li silently withdrew the thin layer of spiritual power covering the blood corpse.

The black mist, now freed from the constraints of spiritual power, spread out and, quite intelligently, avoided the spot where Su Li was sitting, swirling around the stone coffin.

Wu Sansheng, who was cursing Pan Zi, suddenly looked towards the stone coffin. Thick black mist was billowing, and from within the mist came the sound of something striking the stone slab, which sounded terrifying with the echoes throughout the tomb.

"Bang bang bang..."

The commotion around the stone coffin seemed to be getting louder and louder. Wu Sansheng's face turned ugly, and he pulled Pan Zi out.

Wu Xie's face turned a little pale, and he felt his legs go weak. He nervously swallowed and leaned closer to Zhang Qiling.

Da Kui appeared very frightened, tripped and fell with a large movement, and hid to the side trembling.

Su Li, who was watching the performance from the front, felt that the coffin lid she was sitting on was being kicked quite loudly by the blood corpse inside, which affected her comfort. She tightened the vines binding the blood corpse in her hand as a warning.

Zhang Qiling pulled Wu Xie into the shadows behind him and suddenly spoke to Wu Sansheng and the others, "Kneel down quickly."

The group was stunned for a moment, but Wu Sansheng reacted quickly and decisively took the lead in kneeling down.

Seeing this, Pan Zi and Da Kui hurriedly knelt down as well. Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie were behind them, and they didn't notice whether the two behind them had knelt down as well.

Wu Xie, who had been pulled down to squat by Zhang Qiling, was about to speak when he received a warning look from Zhang Qiling and obediently shut his mouth.

"kowtow."

Upon receiving the order, the three kneeling men obediently kowtowed several times towards the direction of the stone coffin.

Wu Xie stared in astonishment with his puppy-dog eyes—it actually worked!!!

Su Li, who was being bowed to by several people, nodded with satisfaction without feeling any guilt. The blood corpse that was kicking the coffin lid was instantly bound tightly and could not move.

"We must leave here before dawn."

Zhang Qiling lowered his voice and gave her instructions.

"Now move slowly over there, don't touch anything." He said, pointing to the passage behind the stone coffin.

Su Li felt that Brother Zhang was really going all out for this performance; she had never seen him talk so much at home.

The calm voice acted as a reassurance, easing the tension in the crowd. They cautiously got up and moved in the direction Zhang Qiling pointed.

"This old man is really something, he can even calm down Grandpa Zongzi when he's angry." Da Kui whispered to Pan Zi while secretly shifting his big body.

“That’s right, our Master Zhang can even communicate with the red-clothed ghost.” Pan Zi, feeling that the thing in the stone coffin no longer posed a threat to him, replied excitedly.

Seeing that the two were getting cocky even before the threat was eliminated, Wu Sansheng smacked one of them on the back of the head. "Shut up and get out of here."

Wu Xie didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he left the tomb chamber filled with zombies. He patted his chest, exclaiming how thrilling it was.

Once Su Li saw that they had all left and was sure no one was there, she immediately jumped off the stone coffin.

He hadn't noticed the few kicks the blood corpse had given the coffin lid, and he was almost thrown off by the impact.

After jumping down and stretching his limbs, the poor blood corpse was dragged out again amidst the flying vines.

If the blood corpses weren't unable to speak human language, I would really want to kneel down and call them ancestors. In thousands of years, I have never seen blood corpses tormented like this.

"Beep beep, a bizarre creature—a blood corpse—has been detected. It is worth 500 points. Do you wish to redeem it?"

The system voice sounded again.

and many more!

Su Li seems to have discovered something interesting.

To verify this, the blood-soaked corpse that had just been pulled out was stuffed back into the stone coffin.

Then, the sarcophagus opened...

"Beep beep, strange creature detected..."

Put it back in...

Open……

"Drip..."

Zuli was satisfied; she understood.

The system, looking at its clone's nearly garbled plugin, said: "Host, is something wrong with your little apprentice...?"

Su Yunqing elegantly bought a bottle of ice cream from the system shop: "Stop farting! The child is so lively and adorable now!"

"Help! Ancestors, I was wrong, please don't chase me!"

Just as Su Li was playing with the system with great interest, a round, fat man barged in from the tomb passage that Wu Xie and the others had just left.

The two looked at each other, their eyes meeting and exchanging hostile glances.

Su Li, who was stuffing a blood-soaked corpse into her hand, felt a little awkward.

"Um... hi?"

Fatty Wang, who was fleeing for his life, seemed to have wandered in from somewhere. "Hey... um, busy, huh?"

"Yes, yes..." Help! I feel like I could dig a whole Zhang Family Ancient Building out of my toes.

When Zhang Qiling caught up with them, he saw the two awkwardly exchanging greetings.

The fat man carried a backpack and had a fairly bright miner's lamp on his head, illuminating the tomb chamber.

And Zurich...

The old and eerie tomb chamber was illuminated by a dim, ever-burning lamp.

A boy, no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in a leather jacket and wearing sunglasses, was holding a vine in his hand. At the end of the vine was a green, humanoid object, and the boy was pulling on the object, trying to stuff it into the stone coffin...

If you look closely, you can see that the humanoid object is still trembling slightly.

It's just... hard to comment.

Fatty Wang was completely numb.

He took the job to dredge a tomb, but his teammate ran away.

I ran into another team and didn't hide well, almost getting shot.

He was chased by someone with a knife all the way, when he encountered a strange child blocking his path...

Heaven is going to destroy me, Fatty Wang!

"Ah Li," Zhang Qiling called out.

Su Li tilted her head and looked at Zhang Qiling, who was blocked by Wang Pangzi's figure.

"Brother Zhang, you're here!"

"Um, do you know him?" Fatty Wang looked around, realizing how awkward it was. He thought there was a three-way power struggle, but it turned out he was the only outsider.

Zhang Qiling ignored Fatty Wang, who was trying to strike up a conversation, and walked straight to Su Li's side.

Looking at the blood-soaked corpse wrapped in vines in Su Li's hand, he was speechless.

"Ahem, yes, it's available for sale," Su Li said softly.

Zhang Qiling: ? ? ? ?

"Sell points and exchange them for items."

Do people even buy this kind of thing?

Thinking of the blood-soaked corpses that he and the blind man killed in the past, would the blind man feel heartbroken if he knew?

Su Li rummaged through the unlocked points mall, studied it for a while, and then granted Zhang Qiling access to see it.

"The Corpse Cave is unlocked; as long as you have points, you can buy anything, including spirit veins, bloodlines, and spiritual roots..."

However, things that don't belong to this world are ridiculously expensive.

If you're thinking of buying a spirit vein directly, it's better to follow the storyline and wait for your master to give you the fragments.

Zhang Qiling didn't speak, nor did he care what Su Li wanted to buy with her points. He secretly planned that if he encountered these things in the future, he would cripple them first, and then decide whether to kill them after confirming whether Su Li could recycle them.
