Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

The familiar red insect slowly emerged from the bamboo joint, its wings fluttering on its back. "Buzz buzz buzz... buzz buzz buzz..." The sound of its flapping wings echoed in the quiet tomb chamber along with the shouts.

"Corpse Beetle King! What are these things again?!"

Before Xie Yuchen could even get close to Wu Xie and Fatty Wang, he had only gone halfway when he saw the two of them running over with terrified expressions. Upon closer inspection of the familiar red, his pupils contracted, and he turned and ran back.

Da da da… da da da…

As the footsteps drew closer, Qin Henian and the others noticed the Corpse Beetle King following behind Wu Xie and his group.

Zhang Qilin, Hei Xiazi, and Zhala Luowa, along with the others, all reached for their weapons. But the next second, a gust of wind swept past them, and when they looked again, they were all dumbfounded.

Qin Henian lunged toward the direction from which the Corpse Beetle King had flown with a speed that most of the people present could not comprehend. He leaped into the air, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed the red Corpse Beetle King, whose wings were buzzing.

Chew, chew, chew... Chew, chew, chew...

"Hmm...crispy, not bad!"

Chew, chew, chew... Chew, chew, chew...

"Hmm... it has even more carapace than the previous spiders, and it's not very meaty, so it's only good as a potato chip..."

Qin Henian chewed and swallowed the Corpse Beetle King he had just eaten, then his eyes lit up instantly. This was practically a free "self-service potato chip area"!

"He Nian, are you alright? The Corpse Beetle King is highly poisonous."

Wu turned his head and saw this scene. His eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, forming a European shape.

Xie Yuchen, standing to the side, frowned. He looked at Qin He and saw that there was no change in his appearance. He quickly asked a question.

"Waaaah... He Nian, you died such a tragic death!"

Meanwhile, as Wu Xie turned around, Fatty Wang also turned his head. Seeing this scene, he didn't react at all. The next second, his eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he opened his mouth and started wailing!

"Waaaaah! Brother! I'm so sorry! Those damned corpse beetle kings, I'll blow them up and make them pay with their lives!!"

As he howled, Fatty Wang turned around and pulled his backpack to the front, creating a small gap in the zipper. He reached inside and, after a few moments, found a small detonator in his chubby hand!

"Fatty! Don't be impulsive! Open your eyes and look carefully!"

"He Nian is alright, okay! Fatty, stop howling! Open your eyes and look! What are you yelling about..."

Wu Xie was standing very close to Fatty Wang, and his left eardrum was practically ringing. He had no choice but to slap the guy on the back and then give him a long explanation…

Huh? He Nian is alright?

Wang Pangzi was heartbroken, but before he could finish wailing, Wu Xie scolded him and gave him a good scolding. The tears that were welling up in his eyes stopped instantly, and he looked up at the place where they had just run back.

A blurry, blurry figure was seen frantically sweeping through the lush, green forest, leaving the corpse beetle kings hidden inside the bamboo joints in a terrible state.

Two slender, beautiful fingers pinched the Corpse Beetle King's body, and the next second it was accurately thrown into a small, pink mouth in an arc-like arc. It chewed with crunch, crunch, crunch... crunch, ...

That wasn't even the most outrageous part. When Fatty Wang shifted his gaze elsewhere, he saw another scene: in the bluish-purple flames, countless paper-burning paper skewer resembling crimson fluttering moths were burning. A familiar hand was holding a thin iron skewer, which was strung on the wings of the fluttering moths. After being "precisely roasted" by the flames, the number of skewers in one hand kept increasing, and soon the strings of skewers were gathered into a handful. With a shake of Qin Henian's arm, the roasted fluttering moth strings disappeared.

After dealing with the corpse beetle king and the fluttering moth inside the bamboo section, Qin Henian's eyes then turned to the other things around him.

The next second, a large silver bowl made of pure silver was held in Qin Henian's arms, and a small head with bloodshot eyes raised its head with a wide grin!

Since we're already here, we might as well take it all! And since we've seen it all, we might as well take it all with us!

Qin Henian had already mentally prepared himself. In any case, the most abundant thing in this tomb chamber was not this "forest" that looked like a small forest, but the fluorite that had been paved on the stone slabs under his feet. The fluorite was coated with hallucinogenic drugs. Rather than leaving it here to live with some tomb guardian beasts, it was better to let them live in peace.

Don't worry, Your Highness, I'm taking your little bug with me!

"Is that big pot for real?"

When Xie Yuchen saw Qin Henian suddenly stop, he was stunned for a moment. Then, when he saw Qin Henian pull out a big pot from somewhere, his forehead throbbed.

If I'm not mistaken, it shouldn't be mealtime now! Besides, they seem to be tomb raiding... uh... archaeology, right?

"Pfft! Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! This tomb is practically paradise for my precious Henian!"

Hei Xiazi wasn't affected much by this ancient illusion. When he saw his wife eating and taking the carvings, he couldn't help but laugh. Perhaps the old prince never imagined that someone would come back to his tomb to fleece him before he died!

"Heaven in the Year of the Crane?"

After learning that Qin Henian would be alright, Wu Xie began to survey their surroundings. Upon hearing his cheap master's loud laughter, he intended to strike up a conversation, but the man's next words piqued his curiosity, prompting him to ask a question.

"Tsk tsk... You're such a little kid! Don't try to understand things you shouldn't!"

Hei Xiazi charges money to answer questions. I won't do it if you don't have money!

"Add money!"

The next second, two words of heavenly beauty rang out from Xie Yuchen, and Hei Xiazi was instantly happy. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal. Last time, He Nian said that they probably wouldn't stay in this world anymore. After the Heavenly Dao was restored, the three of them would be kicked out by the world's consciousness, so saying something wasn't a big deal.

"How much?"

The moment Hei Xiazi heard the heavenly music, he turned to face Xie Yuchen.

"one hundred!"

Xie Yuchen rolled his eyes at the black object that was turning to him. Anyone with eyes could see that something was wrong with this tomb. Moreover, after Qin Henian ate some of the creatures in the tomb, the tomb was visibly returning to its original state.

So... now that he already knows the general idea, the answer from Hei Xiazi isn't that important anymore. The reason Xie Yuchen would give 100 yuan himself was entirely because of his childhood friend's overflowing curiosity.
