Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

"belch……"

"belch……"

"belch……"

After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them lay side by side on the soft cushions that Su Li had brought out, so comfortable that they wished they could take a nap right there.

"This is the most comfortable dump I've ever made, so satisfying!" Fatty Wang rubbed his belly fat contentedly.

This was my first time experiencing a picnic in a cemetery. It reminded me of the days when I used to eat dry food and drink cold water in cemeteries, at most drinking boiled compressed biscuits as a gruel. Just thinking about it makes me feel sad.

Wu Xie, being a first-time tomb raider, had no experience to share, but... the ingredients were too luxurious; he might not even be able to afford them at home.

"Isn't this better than eating instant noodles at a restaurant?"

Since acquiring the spatial ring, Hei Xiazi has stopped researching his ten-year shelf-life green pepper and shredded pork fried rice.

He poured all his passion into making his favorite green pepper and shredded pork fried rice even more delicious, which in turn raised his already good cooking skills even further.

He'd even be willing to study the Manchu Han Imperial Feast if the benefits were good enough.

Su Li was the most generous when it came to giving things to her friends.

Black Bear: Who could resist a well-behaved, sensible, and generous little cub?

So his space was stuffed with piles of delicious food by Hei Xiazi, and even Hei Xiazi's own space ring was always stocked with snacks for Su Li so that he could feed him anytime.

"Oh, right, little friend!" Wu Xie suddenly called out.

"hold head high?"

"We've known each other for half a day, and I've eaten and taken things from you, but I still don't know your name." Wu Xie was a little embarrassed when he talked about this. He had eaten and drunk from her, and even took her obviously valuable medicine bottle, but he didn't even know her name.

"This fat guy knows!" Fatty Wang raised his hand. "That cold-faced guy over there is calling for Ah Li!"

"Young man, your surname is Zhang, so your name is Zhang Li?" Wu Xie asked.

Zurich: ...

Sitting up and straightening his clothes, Su Li solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute. "Su Li, the seventy-ninth generation disciple of the Xuanqing Sect."

The two of them were embarrassed to lie down because of Su Li's sudden serious demeanor.

"Huh? Why don't you have the surname Zhang like Little Brother? Did you take your mother's surname?" Wu Xie asked curiously.

Su Li covered her mouth. "Ahem, he took his master's surname. I never said this brother was my biological son."

Wu Xie: I am speechless.

"Zheng..."

The three people who were chatting were interrupted by a sound like metal tearing through space. When they looked up, they saw that the black gold ancient sword in Zhang Qiling's hand was already stuck in the stone wall not far away.

Pan Zi had moved his position at some point, moving much closer to the tomb passage that was some distance away from them.

Beside Pan Zi, several dark green vines, resembling tiny green hands, lay fallen, seemingly severed by the flying black-gold ancient sword.

"Brother?" Wu Xie called out, looking completely bewildered.

Where did this vine come from?

Zhang Qiling got up, went over, sheathed his Black Gold Ancient Sword, and kicked a vine on the ground. "It's a Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress."

"Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress? What is that?"

Su Li pointed to the stone wall where the vines clearly retreated. "The guardian beast here is a man-eating tree that's almost turned into a demon."

"That's strange. I've sealed away its intelligence, so how come it can still escape and wander around?"

Su Li didn't understand. He had gathered and enlightened the spirit of the nine-headed cypress and sealed it at the root of the tree. He had planned to take it with him when he left, so why did it run out and steal people?

"A man-eating tree??? Was it just about to steal Panzi and eat him?"

"No, Brother Zhang, you protect them, I have to go check on them. This is the gift I prepared for Hua Hua." Su Li said anxiously and ran towards the area where the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress was located.

"Huh? No..." Wu Xie ran a few steps, then stopped when he thought of Pan Zi, who was still unconscious, and was caught in a dilemma.

“Brother, he…” Wu Xie was very worried about the little boy he had just met running around in such a dangerous tomb.

Zhang Qiling sheathed his sword and slung it over his back. "Wake him up and follow."

As she spoke, Zhang Qiling made sure to put away the soft cushion that Su Li had taken out for him. Su Li had tried several brands before choosing this one and liked it quite a bit, so it wouldn't be good to lose it.

……

Su Li arrived at the enormous space where the nine-headed hydra's intelligence had just been sealed.

"Oh ho!" Looking up, I saw two people, one standing and one lying, on the stone platform under the tree.

The big figure lying on the ground looks like the Da Kui that Zhang Qiling said was replaced by Wang Wang Jiao, right?

The Blood Corpse was sold out, the Corpse King was gone, and in the end, Da Kui still died here.

Just as Wu Sansheng finished dealing with the guy who had been replaced without his knowledge, he saw a young boy run out of one of the cave entrances in the stone wall.

"Hei Xiazi's apprentice?" Wu Sansheng frowned. This boy that Hei Xiazi brought with him was here, so what about Hei Xiazi...?

Su Li rolled her eyes, not wanting to pay any attention to this old fox. She wanted to see him hung up by the Hydra Cypress.

Judging from the Tianxin stone powder on his body, he's quite skilled at it.

"Where is your master?" Wu Sansheng asked again when he saw that the child had a long face and was ignoring him.

Black Bear, who isn't currently employed, is an unpredictable factor. If he causes trouble and hurts his nephew, Black Bear will have nowhere to turn for help.

"Tsk, ask, ask, do you even know me before asking my master? Shut up, I don't want to talk to you." Su Li retorted immediately, showing utter disgust for the old man who had ruined her first New Year.

Wu Sansheng was so embarrassed by being confronted by a kid that he questioned his existence. He, Wu Sansheng, was a well-known figure in the underworld. This little brat had some nerve.

Su Li ignored Wu Sansheng and went straight to the tree root where the spirit had just been sealed and sat down.

Seeing that the brat dared to provoke the Nine-Headed Cypress without any protection, Wu Sansheng sneered.

That bear crap is utterly useless. He has no skills, no eyesight, and he's a brat with no manners. I wonder if that bear crap is nearby, and if he'll be able to collect his body in time.

Wu Sansheng waited and waited for the nine-headed cypress to make its move and hang this impolite brat, but all he saw was him leisurely leaning against the tree root with his eyes closed, completely unaffected.

What's going on? Could he be hiding the Heavenly Heart Stone on him?

Su Li ignored the vines swaying around and leaned against the tree roots, closing his eyes. The vines, which looked like tiny hands, showed no interest in him either, as if he were just a tree or a blade of grass.

He covered the tree roots with spiritual energy in his hands and explored them little by little until he touched a small green ball of light.

According to spiritual perception, this little ball of light was curled up and dozing in the tree roots. When touched by the wood-attribute spiritual energy, it would rub against it affectionately, like a kitten.

This ball of light is the intelligence that this Hydra Cypress has evolved. It's secretly dozing off here. So what is controlling this Hydra Cypress now?
