Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Since it's not a strange prop, we can study it carefully. The corpse beetle that Brother Zhang caught, along with the hexagonal bronze bell and the symbiotic centipede, were all given to Lao Qin to research special effects props to deal with these things.

Later, I'll carry this coral tree, pot and all, away. I'll study the principles behind the hallucinations caused by sound frequencies. Even if I don't find anything, this coral tree is still pretty good. I can give it to Hua Hua as a decoration.

Thinking this, Su Li waved his hand, and the tall coral tree was stored in his space. Then he pulled out the hand that was holding the thing on the ground.

The three people huddled at the cave entrance watched as Su Li took away the coral tree and dragged out a humanoid creature with white hair. They all gathered around.

"What's wrong, Xiao Li? Did you find the little one a mother??"

Looking at the creature's slender and elongated body, with the same white fur as the little corpse demon, Fatty Wang inexplicably thought of this possibility.

Su Li found it amazing that Fatty Wang's thought process was on the same wavelength as the little corpse demon's, but unfortunately, it wasn't...

“Take a good look at who this is…” Su Li reminded her.

"Who could it be... Holy crap!!!" Fatty Wang was about to ask if this was someone he knew? But when he parted the hair on the person's face, he realized he really did recognize him.

Wu Xie was also shocked to see this woman, whose body was covered in white hair except for her face, making her look like a piece of hairy Changsha stinky tofu.

"A-Ning???"

(Watching the TV version of Sand Sea, the scene where the evil villain forces Li Cu to eat Changsha stinky tofu was so pitiful for the kid, hahaha!)

"How come this little wench has mutated in such a short time???"

“The arrows are poisoned,” Zhang Qiling said.

"Arrows?" Wu Xie thought for a moment. "The ones with lotus heads?"

Zhang Qiling nodded.

"Hiss! If it weren't for our little Li's quick reflexes, we'd be the ones covered in hair right now!"

Wu Xie patted Wang Pangzi on the shoulder. "You're right, Pangzi. If you looked like that, wouldn't you be sent to the Arctic?"

"The Arctic?...Damn, Little Innocent, are you indirectly saying that Fatty looks like a bear?" Fatty Wang was displeased and grabbed Wu Xie's face, rubbing it wildly.

Su Li looked at Zhang Qiling, her big eyes blinking rapidly.

His eyes were practically screaming: "Great opportunity! I'm going to rip you off!"

Zhang Qiling: …

Su Li nodded almost imperceptibly, and with her parents' permission, she jumped up happily.

The child's sudden leap nearly threw the little corpse demon off his shoulder, startling the creature so much that it clung tightly to it with its tiny paws, as if it were a small decoration attached to his clothes.

Su Li happily handed Aning a calming pill, already calculating how many she should ask for this time.

After leaving the team, Aning relied on the information about the underwater tomb integrated by the company and headed towards the main tomb chamber with a clear objective.

Although the company's information was relatively complete, the traps and hidden weapons along the way were so numerous that she couldn't guard against them all, and she kept getting injured.

Especially when the poison took effect halfway through, causing her to feel pain and itching all over her body and even grow white hair, she relied entirely on her willpower to get into the space where the coral tree existed.

Unfortunately, he still collapsed here in the end.

He's about to die...

she thinks.

You still haven't succeeded, Aning.

If I die, what will happen to Zisuan? I was planning to save enough money to leave the company with Zisuan. What will he do if I die?

While she was unconscious, it seemed like some creature was dragging her body. Was she about to be eaten?

It seems not.

She felt like something was stuffed into her mouth, and although she wanted to spit it out, she couldn't.

A cool sensation swept over my entire body, and my mind cleared up.

As soon as Aning opened her eyes, she saw several dark figures surrounding her, chattering away, but she couldn't tell what they were saying.

There are even monsters that live in groups?!

Seeing that Ah Ning's previously dilated pupils were gradually focusing, Fatty Wang waved his hand in front of her eyes.

"Hey, are you awake yet, you little vixen?"

no response.

"Huh? No response? Is it Ikes Q Simin?"

Still no response.

“Good morning, Mao Ning.”

Su Li was confused by Fatty Wang's pun-heavy remark; she didn't understand what it meant.

The top student, Wu Xie, understood it and almost fainted from laughing. He gave a huge thumbs up to the fat man's pronunciation.

This is what Aning saw when she was fully awake.

Zhang Qiling sat calmly and reservedly to one side.

Su Li, carrying a white-furred creature, looked completely bewildered.

There were also Wu Xie and Fatty Wang laughing together.

……

Or is it a hallucination?

"She's awake," Zhang Qiling reminded her.

In an instant, Ah Ning received three burning gazes.

The four of them remained silent, simply staring intently at her.

Poisoning, blood loss, hallucinations, and being controlled by others—all these combined buffs nearly caused Aning to faint again.

In the end, the instinct for survival prevailed over everything.

"Mr. Su..."

None of them expected that A Ning's first words would be to call Su Li, and in such a polite way.

"Five hundred thousand, buy my life." This was almost all her savings. No matter what, she had to survive; only by surviving could she have a future.

Wow, he didn't even have to say a word, and the girl had already figured out how much to pay for his life. She's really perceptive.

Can't you be a little more observant?

When they first met, was the 50,000 yuan she spent on supplies? It was money to buy her life!

The second time, he originally wanted to trick Wu Xie, but he easily defeated him, and the money he paid to save his life increased tenfold.

If she hadn't spoken up this time, she didn't even dare to imagine how many times the money would have increased.

Since this person was someone she was supposed to protect, and she was so perceptive, Su Li simply rummaged through her pile of miscellaneous pills and found a bottle of antidote pills, poured one out and put it in her mouth.

After giving her the medicine, Su Li thoughtfully provided her with a small cushion to lie on, and then left her alone to recover on her own.

What interests Su Li now is the golden statue that is controlled by the cat's soul.

His master couldn't say for sure whether the golden statue in the meditation posture was actually Wang Zanghai himself.

After all, such a large-scale underwater tomb is located on this underwater dragon vein. It's hard to believe that Wang Zanghai would create a substitute to sit here and enjoy the dragon vein's fortune.

But to put an explosive charge inside his own corpse—even if he was a ruthless person, it wouldn't be that extreme.

If you can't figure something out, don't think about it. Su Li felt that his blockhead wasn't suited to thinking about this. All he needed to know was that no matter whose golden statue it was, he would just sell it.

Perhaps when we reach the world of the supernatural, someone will be able to find out who it really is?

That's a good idea. We can ask the system to keep track of any follow-ups later.

Hmm, I can definitely join in the fun. I'm so clever!

"My goodness, this is way too extravagant! Golden nanmu wood pillars! What kind of family does this?!"
