Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

'You can send items rich in spiritual energy and formations from higher-level planes to lower-level planes every day, surely you can manage to send even the smallest, energy-poor creatures from lower-level planes?'

'...'

Feel the gaze of death around you.

'I can do it...'

What's possessing this little brat? Was the old Little Wooden Head like this before?

Having been saddled with these two treacherous masters and disciples, I've truly committed a terrible sin...

Having successfully obtained the system's promise, Su Li got up in a good mood.

"I'm not selling it anymore! I'll have my third senior brother raise it after we get out! Come on, let's go back to the side room, there's a surprise in there!"

As he spoke, he casually shoved the little corpse demon in his arms into Zhang Qiling's hand and led the way toward the side room they had come out of.

Zhang Qiling stared blankly at the little thing in his arms, his hands and feet stiff.

The little corpse demon tilted its head and bared its teeth at Zhang Qiling.

Huh? No response?

Seeing that the soft human was still staring at him, the little thing looked around, then suddenly lowered its head and stuffed it into Zhang Qiling's arms.

"Brother? Why aren't you moving?" Wu Xie turned around and saw Zhang Qiling holding the little corpse demon, so he came back to pull him.

Zhang Qiling then came to his senses and followed without expression.

He should have been expressionless, right? If you ignore the careful movements of his hands and the slight upturn of his lips.

Wu Xie: It seems I've discovered some incredible secret!

Fatty Wang was still planning to hide the diving equipment and trick Aning. As soon as he entered the side room, he excitedly ran to where they kept their equipment.

As soon as Wuxie stepped into the dark side room, she sensed something was wrong...

"Holy crap, where's our equipment???" Fatty Wang suddenly yelled, interrupting Wu Xie's thoughts.

Wu Xie didn't have time to think anymore and rushed to Wang Pangzi's side, only to be dumbfounded when he saw him.

The flashlight beam shone on the empty ground, where the equipment that Zuli had previously piled up was nowhere to be found.

There was only one path from the side room to the passageway, and they stayed in the passageway the whole time. Aning went through the middle door and never came out again.

So who took all this equipment?

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang exchanged a glance, both of them looking rather grim.

Both Wang Pangzi's experience and Wu Xie's notes told them about the dangers of the underwater tomb.

However, feeling that they had two experts backing them up, they didn't really take the so-called danger to heart.

But now that there's no diving equipment, even if the two masters are incredibly powerful, they're not fish. How are they going to get through that underwater tomb passage that's tens of meters long?

The situation is very serious now; if things go wrong, they might all have to stay and serve as burial attendants for the tomb's occupant.

Wu Xie swallowed hard. "Ah Li just piled up the equipment here, right?"

"Yes, yes, I think." Fatty Wang was also covered in sweat.

"There can't possibly be a second rice dumpling here, can there?"

As Wu Xie spoke, he looked at Zhang Qiling, who had just approached... and the little corpse demon in his arms.

"Little friend, tell your uncle, do you have any other friends here? Could you talk to them and ask them to return our things?"

Suddenly, Jia Ziyin Xie appeared online...

Little Corpse Demon: ? ? ? ? ?

"Pfft..." Su Li couldn't help but laugh out loud and couldn't help but remind her.

"Tianzhen, take a closer look and see if there's anything wrong with this tomb."

wrong?

Wu Xie, reminded by Su Li, snatched the flashlight from Fatty Wang and looked around.

Fatty Wang stared at his empty hands, then suddenly clapped his hands. "I've got it!!!"

Wu Xie: Looking forward to it!

Zuli: Looking forward to it!

"That damn thief actually stole Xiao Lizi's headlights!!!" Fatty Wang cursed angrily.

Wu Xie thought about it and realized it was true. He had been wondering what was wrong! Su Li hadn't put away his miner's lamp when they left, so the side room should have been brightly lit.

"No wonder I felt something was off. How could this thief be so strong? He carried away ten oxygen cylinders and a large headlamp, all such heavy things, without making a sound!"

Then a thought flashed through his mind. "Could it be a sea monkey?"

Su Li slapped her forehead, completely bewildered by their thought processes, and stepped forward to offer some more obvious hints...

"There's no other way out here. Why don't we look around? Maybe it's hidden in some corner?"

After discussing their plan amongst themselves, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang each grabbed a flashlight and began playing hide-and-seek throughout the tomb.

Su Li: Why don't you two ask for my opinion?

Clearly, the two people, who were in a great hurry, had no intention of asking questions. They were searching very carefully, even moving and examining the porcelain jars and pots that were casually placed on the ground. They also tidied up the places they had searched, arranging them neatly.

Great job! Domestic service companies need people like you!

As Wu Xie searched, an inexplicable strange feeling arose in his heart. He felt there was an answer, but he couldn't quite grasp it.

In the end, it had to be the bold and meticulous fat mother. The rough but meticulous Fatty Wang pondered for a long time, then suddenly slapped his thigh and cursed loudly.

"Damn it, this isn't even the place we were just at!!!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie suddenly had a flash of inspiration regarding the answer that he couldn't quite grasp, and turned to look.

Following the direction of Wang Pangzi's flashlight, Wu Xie looked into a corner. He recalled that there should have been nothing there, but now there was a stone pillar.

The stone pillar that suddenly appeared was embedded in the tomb wall at one end and exposed at the other. It was intricately carved with various rare and exotic beasts. Compared to this, the tomb chamber we just visited seemed like a showroom with a cheap, overpriced interior.

Wu Xie hurriedly checked the other three corners, and sure enough, all four corners were different from before.

This discovery left the two men staring at each other in disbelief, large beads of sweat dripping down their faces.

"Heavens, how naive... Aren't you Southern School experts on the mechanisms in these ancient tombs? Do you think this could be caused by some kind of mechanism?"

"Don't talk about the Southern School, I'm not from any school. This is only my second time going down into a tomb. These mechanisms know me, but I don't know them. Don't expect to get anything out of me."

"What?! Little Innocent, don't scare me! I'm counting on you to solve the puzzles and lead me out!!!"

Wu Xie couldn't help but roll his eyes. "I really thank Fatty for thinking so highly of me."

"Fatty, don't you think about it? What kind of mechanism could so silently and completely alter the furnishings and layout of a room in such a short time? Is that even possible? I certainly don't believe it; there must be other reasons."

"What else could it be? If it's not a trap, it could be some kind of magic..."

Wang Pangzi suddenly stopped speaking, and the two looked at each other, gazing expectantly at Su Li and Zhang Qiling.

What should you do if you encounter a strange event?

Big shot, newbie, scared, struggling...
