Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Only after confirming that they had left that area of ​​water did everyone relax, some resting and others busy with their own tasks.

When the sunlight pierced through the clouds again, they realized that their ship was sailing along the coastline of an island.

Sunlight shines on the distant beach, making the white sand seem to have been filtered, creating a beautiful and desirable scene.

Wu Xie peeked halfway out, shading his eyes with his hand as he looked at the beach.

"Where are we going now?" Wu Xie asked A Ning, who had appeared beside him at some point.

Ah Ning's face was pale at this moment, but she was much more approachable than when they first met, when she had a cool and aloof image.

"Yongxing Island, go pick up a few people."

"Who to pick up?"

“Those people over there are professional divers, and there’s also a consultant like you, someone you probably know.” Aning pointed to the dock in the distance, where it appeared to be a group of people carrying hiking backpacks.

As the ship drew closer to the dock, Wu Xie finally saw the round figure that stood out from the other lean divers.

"Hey~~~ We're here~~~" The chubby figure cupped his hands into a megaphone shape and shouted in their direction.

At that moment, a boatman also stood at the bow, responding to his shout. "Hee hee hee hee... Get ready, we're coming!"

"What the hell are you yelling about? I've been standing here in this cold wind for ages, what are you all dawdling about? Don't you have any sense of time?" The fat man cursed at the boatman, leaving the crew speechless.

Wu Xie also saw Wang Pangzi jumping around and cursing people.

After not seeing him for a while, he really has become more and more rounded. When he jumps around, the fat on his belly jiggles and jiggles, which is quite comical.

As the boat approached the dock, it slowed down. Before it even stopped, the group of people began to jump aboard one after another. Despite his fat frame, the fat man was as agile as anyone else and jumped onto the boat as well.

As soon as he saw Wu Xie and Su Li, he ran over excitedly and gave them a bear hug.

"Hey! Little Li Zi, Little Tian Zhen, what are you doing here? Our Miss Aning has such a big reputation!"

To Wang Pangzi's ambiguous words, A Ning simply offered a polite smile and made no response.

Fatty Wang threw his luggage and equipment onto the deck and plopped down on his backpack. "Damn it, this journey has exhausted me. Those bastards were like they were chasing me to my death, they were practically whipping me. What a jerk!"

Aning clearly understood the fat man's seemingly sarcastic remarks to Wuxie and Suli, which were actually a roundabout way of pointing out his own shortcomings, but she didn't say anything.

Fatty Wang just wanted to say a few sarcastic things to Aning, but he didn't expect her to do anything in return.

"How's it going? Have you found the place?"

Ah Ning shook her head. "We've searched most of the area, and there's still one spot we haven't found. If all goes well, it should be in that place."

"Let me tell you something, Fatty, don't come to me for things like dragon vein searching, burial site location, or anything like that. I know those things, but they don't know me."

Chinese tomb raiders are generally divided into four factions: Mountain Moving, Ridge Unloading, Tomb Raider Excavation, and Gold Touching.

Each of these four factions has its own unique skills and special techniques, which are their livelihood.

The term "Moving Mountain" refers to the Taoist priests who move mountains. They have a close connection with Taoism and are generally dressed as Taoist priests. They possess some magical skills similar to those of Maoshan Taoist priests, such as the "Moving Mountain and Dividing Armor Technique".

However, the Mountain Moving School lacked expertise in feng shui, which is why they resorted to destructive tomb raiding methods, making them "explosives experts" among tomb raiders.

Because they had learned some basic Taoist arts, their martial arts skills were slightly better than those of other schools. They were able to use Taoist arts to deal with zombies in tomb raiding and designed some mechanisms and formations specifically to deal with evil creatures in tombs. Therefore, compared with ordinary tomb raiding schools, the Moving Mountain School was more mysterious.

The Xieling sect, also known as the Xieling warriors, originated in the Northern Song Dynasty and formed specific schools through mutual exchange and integration.

This sect excels at destroying magical formations and is familiar with the weaknesses of various feng shui terrains. Disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect are known as Unloading Ridge Warriors, possessing immense destructive power against ancient tombs.

(Hmm, what if I hallucinate a bunch of enhanced versions of Wuxie?)

The term "Faqiu" refers to the "Faqiu Zhonglangjiang" (a military officer in charge of tomb raiding). It originated slightly later than the "Mojin" (tomb raiding) school and mainly relied on feng shui and astrology to determine the location of tombs.

The Faqiu sect typically disguises themselves as pawnshop owners or antique dealers, emphasizing cooperation, acting prudently, and utilizing teamwork and meticulous planning. Authentic Faqiu members possess an ancestral bronze seal inscribed with the words "No Taboos."

In addition, the most obvious mark of the Faqiu lineage is that the two fingers on the right hand are longer than the other fingers, called Faqiu fingers. These Faqiu fingers must be practiced from childhood, and the practice process is very painful. Once mastered, no matter how ingenious the mechanism in the tomb is, it cannot escape the exploration of these two fingers.

As for the tomb raiding faction, they are also known as the Tomb Raiders, which originated from the position of Tomb Raiders established by Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, and they regard Cao Cao as their patriarch.

The tomb raiders mainly operate at night. After entering the tomb, they will light a candle in the southeast corner. If the candle goes out, they must retreat immediately, as this is considered a sign of "ghosts blowing out the lamp."

Disciples of the tomb raiding sect wear tomb raiding talismans and adhere to the principle of leaving room for maneuver; they can only take one or two items from a tomb.

Let alone the fact that Fatty is only half a descendant of the tomb raiders, even if his ancestor came and asked him to do the work of finding the dragon vein and locating the burial site, he would still complain that this group was not fully prepared. They didn't even investigate the tomb properly before trying to recruit lamas. Are they kidding me?

Ah Ning sighed. "I know you can't do it, but you don't need to worry about that. I've already made arrangements. Mr. Wu Xie will be in charge of the location."

Wu Xie, who had been happily joking around with Su Li, was suddenly dumbfounded. What responsibility? Responsible for what? What am I responsible for? I didn't even lift a finger with the shovel, what am I supposed to be responsible for?

"Me in charge? Didn't you already pinpoint the location of this underwater tomb?" Wu Xie asked, bewildered.

"We can only estimate a general sea area. It would be best if we could find the tunnel that Mr. Wu Sansheng dug earlier."

If no relevant evidence is found during the search, then tasks such as determining the actual location and shape of this underwater tomb will require your experience and abilities.

Our limited information cannot replace the practical experience of tomb raiders. Your third uncle is very shrewd; he didn't leave us any useful information in this area.

Wu Xie felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his shoulder, and suddenly felt so much pressure that he wanted to suffocate. What were they thinking, letting a complete novice like him, who had never even been to two tombs, be asked to locate the burial site?

Why does it feel like this rescue operation was a joke in some aspects?

A half-baked small business owner, a greasy and sleazy professor, and the fattest man in the tomb raiding world...

Oh, and there's a bonus item too: a Pokémon named Ari, which randomly refreshes a small skill to save his life.

Wow, what an amazing team!
