Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Wang Pangzi saw that the big boss who had just been about to chop him up was chatting with that strange kid, and it was highly likely that he didn't intend to bother with him.

Carefully holding her breath, she clutched her stomach and prepared to slip away.

If you don't run now, when will you?

……

Wu Xie never expected that when he went to check the side room, his third uncle and Pan Zida Kui had disappeared without a trace.

After calling his third uncle several times without receiving a response, he began to panic.

He hadn't heard any fighting or loud footsteps in the side room. How could his third uncle and the others have suddenly disappeared?

It couldn't have been that Uncle San deliberately left him here.

How could a tomb raider who had only read theoretical knowledge and had no practical experience survive alone in this perilous ancient tomb?

In the pitch-black tomb, only his heavy footsteps could be heard, and even his breathing was so clear.

The flashlight in his hand seemed to have been soaked in water in the Corpse Cave, its light flickering and adding an eerie atmosphere to the oppressive tomb.

Wu Xie calmed her heart, which was beating too hard. "Don't panic, don't panic," she thought. "Remember Grandpa's notes. Wu Xie, you can do it. You can definitely survive."

What was written on the sketch left by the guy who scared us just now?

Seven stars, a suspected coffin!

Yes, I've seen it! It's recorded in Grandpa's notes.

The Seven Star Coffins consist of one real and six fake ones. The fake coffins are either equipped with powerful mechanisms or contain bizarre methods that cannot be explained by science. In any case, they are all designed to kill.

Thinking back to the foreign devil in the coffin I saw earlier, I guess he was tricked and lost his life here.

Before him stood seven cold, lifeless coffins, one of which contained a fresh corpse.

He always felt that there might be something in the coffin watching him, waiting to come out and deliver a fatal blow when he let his guard down.

The oppressive atmosphere put a lot of psychological pressure on Wu Xie, and the nerve in his brain called rationality was stretched to its limit.

"Click..."

The sound of mechanisms turning echoed in the quiet tomb chamber; it was unclear which coffin's mechanism was operating.

Wu Xie leaned against the stone wall of the side chamber he had just inspected, watching the seven coffins in front of him warily.

A cool breeze blew from behind, and Wu Xie, who was covered in sweat, felt a chill all over his body and felt so overwhelmed that he wanted to cry.

In the side chamber behind them, the candle that the fat man had just lit was blown out by the gust of cold wind.

This scene is exactly what Grandpa wrote in his notes.

Humans light candles, ghosts blow out lamps

"Brothers, this is going too far! I didn't take anything from you. It's no fun if you blow out the candles!"

"Okay, let's each compromise. I won't touch you, and you won't touch me, okay? No, if you don't say anything, I'll take that as your agreement!"

Wu Xie clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and bowed haphazardly while muttering to himself.

Feeling that there was no sound around her, Wu Xie carefully opened her eyes, made sure nothing had changed, and was just about to exhale...

Click click click…

With more frequent turning of the mechanisms, the ancient corpse covered in black hair slowly sat up inside the coffin that the foreign devil had opened.

The foreigner's corpse, which was pressing down on the ancient corpse, also sat up straight.

Wu Xie cursed inwardly.

Is this place even passable? Is this a challenge a newbie like me should be facing?

Doesn't this industry have a newbie protection period?

Should I thank you two for not turning your heads to look at me?

Wu Xie dared not stare at that direction any longer, nor dared to stay in this tomb chamber filled with coffins. He closed his eyes, pressed his body tightly against the tomb wall, and carefully moved step by step with trembling legs into the side chamber.

I can't see you, and you can't see me, so let's keep to ourselves.

As long as these two brothers don't get tired of lying down and crawl out to run a couple of laps, Wu Xie felt he could manage. What's a corpse? He'd seen plenty of them back in the Corpse Cave.

I've even seen a red-clad ghost!

The ghost lady was much more polite; these two guys were nowhere near as polite, and they even tried to scare me by blowing out candles.

Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly, another gust of wind blew through the side room.

Come on, come on!!!

wrong!

Just as Wu Xie was about to lose his temper and rush towards the coffin to go crazy, a sudden flash of inspiration brought him back to his senses.

This wind seems to be blowing in from that tomb raider's tunnel over there!

There's wind, so this tunnel must lead to the outside world. It's very likely the place where that fat guy dug his way in!

There's a way out!

Thinking this, Wu Xie quickly gathered up the things on the ground that were useful to him, then made a mark on the side of the tunnel for Wu Sansheng before diving into it.

The tunnel wasn't too cramped, and although Wu Xie was tired from climbing up, it wasn't too strenuous. Considering the fat man's size, he wouldn't have been able to get in unless he hit someone big.

While climbing, Wu Xie, lost in thought, chuckled at her own ideas, then looked up...

A fork in the road?

Are there forks in the tunnel?

Is it so outrageous?

After careful examination, it was clear that the digging methods of the two tomb raiders' tunnels were significantly different, indicating that they were the work of two different groups. This fatso, even when digging a tomb raider's tunnel, he managed to dig into someone else's territory. He's a real talent.

In this situation, there was nothing left to hesitate about. Wu Xie couldn't discern any difference between the two tunnels, so he simply chose one at random, marked it, and continued forward with his head down.

What if I get incredibly lucky? What if this tunnel leads directly to the outside?

Is there a backup team waiting for them outside? Could I borrow their hot water to cook some instant noodles?

hehe……

think too much.

Wu Xie stood expressionlessly in this seemingly familiar tomb passage. Looking ahead, the passage appeared to be a dead end.

Wu Xie only felt mentally exhausted.

Not only am I mentally exhausted, but my hands, feet, knees, and whole body also ache.

I must have been out of my mind. Why would I even want to do tomb raiding?

This place is a complete disaster! It's either a dumpling or a dead end!

In this situation, according to the development in the novel, shouldn't one feel around on the wall, find the mechanism, open the door on the wall, and then enter the final destination?

Wu Xie thought of this as if he were just giving up.

Maybe it really will work?

Without further ado, Wu Xie searched the tomb wall at the end of the tomb and actually found a protrusion that looked like a mechanism!

"There really is one." Wu Xie couldn't believe it himself; he had actually guessed correctly.

Press the button and escape...

I rely on...

You didn't even tell me this mechanism was under my feet!
