Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Su Li looked up at the hole they had jumped down from. Outside, the wind and rain were still raging, and a light drizzle was falling from the hole.

"It's alright now, let's go back."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Wu Xie consciously picked up A Ning and stood obediently below the cave entrance, gazing longingly at Su Li.

At such a high altitude, he knew all too well what his skills were like. Luckily, he had a cultivator by his side.

With Su Li's symbiotic vines around, climbing high and low was incredibly easy. Wu Xie only felt a blur before his eyes, and the three of them were already on the deck of the ghost ship.

As soon as they arrived, they saw that bald Zhang shakily walking towards them on Su Li's vine bridge.

"Oh no! Ali, that bald guy found out your secret! What do we do? Should we silence him?"

Su Li: ? ? ? ? Little innocent, what's wrong with you? Have you been possessed by some evil spirit?

"There's no need to be so ruthless. If they found it, they found it. I've already filed a record, so it's nothing." Su Li said confidently.

So what if we found it? We're all family, what's there to be afraid of? In a few years, maybe you'll all be cultivating immortality.

"Is it...is it okay?" Wu Xie had always thought that Su Li's ability was a mysterious thing, like the wizards and Muggles in Harry Potter, who had to hide their identities from ordinary people. But this guy actually said that he had been registered!

So, the special incident investigation team in the novel probably does exist too?!

People with extraordinary abilities come together to solve special cases while protecting ordinary people and remaining undetected.

Oh no, oh no, the materialistic values ​​of society have collapsed again!

So I guess I'm still a Muggle.

Su Li looked at Wu Xie and laughed. "According to you, you would have been dead on the very first day we met."

Wu Xie was dumbfounded; it was only the first day they had met...

At the Seven Star Lu Palace, a swarm of corpse beetles besieges a group of people who are squatting together enjoying hot pot with iced cola...

"That's not how you do it. We're good brothers, it's not the same. That bald guy is a perverted old scumbag, you should stay away from him." Wu Xie righteously rejected the analogy and gave him an accusing look.

I treated you like a brother, but it turns out that in your heart I'm the same as that bald guy—a little dog who gets angry and can't be coaxed.

"Are you all alright?"

As the two were talking, Zhang the Bald had already struggled across the swaying vine bridge and reached them, panting heavily and looking exhausted.

Just then, it sounded like a huge tree about to break, and then the entire ship tilted forward sharply.

Overall, the boat appears to be no longer on the same level, and the fishing boat next to it is even a section higher.

It is estimated that the huge impact when breaking through the door sealing the sea monkey in the cabin damaged the already rotten and fragile keel. Now, with strong winds and waves, the keel could not bear the weight and broke.

The bald man's face turned pale with anxiety. He said, "The keel is broken. This ghost ship is about to sink. Let's get out of here quickly."

With that, he took A-Ning from Wu-Xie's back and quickly headed towards the vine bridge.

Su Li Wuxie quickly followed and left the ghost ship.

The captain and crew on the fishing boat cheered as the four returned, and hurriedly helped them back onto the boat.

The ghost ship had already slowed down considerably due to the water entering it, and the moment Su Li waved her hand to retract the vine bridge, it was swept far away by a huge wave and was about to sink.

The boat captain quickly ordered the boat to set sail and get away from this godforsaken place first.

Strangely, the crew members did not show any surprise or shock after Zurich displayed this amazing scene.

He just kept muttering, "May Mazu protect me, may Mazu protect me."

Yes, they are a group of adorable crew members who believe in God!

"Beep beep, the 'Ghost Ship' storyline has been completed, 1000 points!"

"Ding ding, congratulations host for successfully completing the 'Ghost Ship' storyline check-in, you have received a World Consciousness reward of World Origin *1"

Wuhu, I'm still as awesome as ever! Praise me!!

"Congratulations, host, you have received a Spirit Vein Fragment as a reward from Venerable Yunqing of the Immortal Cultivation World."

And a message from Master: "Why hasn't my son sent a video to Master yet?!"

a bolt from the blue!!!!!

Ouch! I completely forgot about video calling my master! I'm so guilty... Waaaaa X﹏X

Never mind, let's talk about it when we get back...

She smiled at the sky, giving Master his favorite kind of obedient smile. Ah Li is so well-behaved, Master won't be angry, right?

Su Yunqing: I'm so cute...

……

The boat captain guided Zhang the Bald to put A-Ning on the deck. When he lifted the hair behind her head, Wu Xie gasped.

Two withered hands were curled up in the hair at the back of her head; these were the very hands that had controlled her to open the steel lock of the ghost ship and release the sea monkeys.

At this moment, the two withered hands were curled up behind her head, and their length did not seem to extend to the length expected for unlocking.

The skin of that withered hand had hardened as if it were petrified, with the ends joined together, growing beneath a mass of flesh.

The tumor was firmly attached to the back of Aning's neck.

What's chilling is that the surface of the tumor seems to have a tiny human face, with clearly visible features, which makes people feel uneasy.

The boat captain's expression turned very serious when he saw this, and he didn't even have time to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

He kowtowed to the thing several times without hesitation, then took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, pinched out a small tuft of fine, hair-like matter from the bag, and sprinkled it on the little face.

The moment the small face touched the hair, it let out a shrill scream, and its entire face, along with the two ghostly hands attached to it, twisted in agony.

The boat captain reacted swiftly, grabbing the tumor the moment it curled up, pulling out his dagger, and tearing the monstrous thing off.

The thing fell to the ground and writhed wildly like a fish that had just been caught, scaring the crew members watching nearby into taking several steps back, afraid of being touched even slightly.

Seeing that the ghostly thing was moving less and less, Su Li realized it was about to die, so she made a quick decision to sell it before it was wasted.

Everyone watched as the hopping monster in front of them disappeared.

The others had never seen this before and didn't react. The boat captain, who had spent half his life making a living on the boat, was dumbfounded. How could it be gone? Shouldn't it have turned into mush? It shouldn't have!

As Wu Xie watched yet another magical creature vanish in such a spectacular fashion, he naturally thought of the sea monkey that Su Li had recently sold to the system.

Seeing that the boat captain was staring blankly at the spot where the strange thing had disappeared, I knew something was wrong and quickly tried to distract him.

"What, what kind of weird thing is this?" Wu Xie swallowed exaggeratedly and leaned close to the boatman to ask sincerely.

When the boat captain saw that the people from the employer's side were asking questions, he temporarily put aside his doubts and answered Wu Xie's question.

"This is a human-faced ghost, the vengeful spirit from that ghost ship. We sailors carry cow hair with us to deal with this kind of situation."

It turns out that the fine, hair-like things were cow hair. Cow hair actually has this function. Little Third Master said, "Another day of learning something new."

Indeed, the sea monkeys we heard as children were like eerie tales. They looked like human hands, could control others, and were incredibly strong, yet they were afraid of human faces with cow hair.

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

After answering Wu Xie's question, the captain reminded him to take Aning back to the cabin to rest for a while, and then called on the crew to get busy.

By this time, the storm at sea had stopped and the waves had calmed down considerably. Although it was still dark, they had at least survived. They had encountered a storm at sea and even a ghost ship, yet they had managed to pull through.

This will become a topic of conversation among the crew members in the future.
