Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Down below...

Upon hearing the report, Qin Henian instantly decided to descend to the bottom of the grave to investigate. His hand suddenly loosened, and the silver thread binding his fingertips loosened its grip, causing the crowd below, startled by the sudden weightlessness, to scream.

"Ahhh! Henian, please don't let go! Fatty's about to fall! I won't die from this height, but what if I break a bone?!"

"Fatty's crooked leg! He doesn't want it to break..."

Because of his weight, Fatty Wang was the one closest to the ground, and he could more intuitively feel that he was getting closer to the ground, so he couldn't help but shout and yell.

"Your Highness, the ground here is at a safe distance for me to descend. Please give me your instructions."

The masked "solid man" who had previously reported to Qin Henian looked down at the ground and realized he was very close to his current height. Thinking of going down to scout the way for his prince, he quickly reported.

"it is good!"

Qin Henian, seeing the magnified version of the situation below due to his pupils contracting, immediately agreed to his subordinate's request. As a result, he subtly moved the tip of his left little finger, and a thin thread was suddenly retracted...

Bang! After a loud bang, a person was already half-squatting on the ground below.

"Your Highness! Please loosen your grip there, and we can wait until we're close enough to go down directly!"

"Yes, yes! I agree with what Lovago means, Your Highness, please let us go!"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness..."

"..."

With such a successful example, Qin Henian's subordinates, who had previously followed him, suddenly seemed to have gained courage and began to speak up, including their leader, Zhala Rova...

In fact, apart from formal occasions, His Highness has always been very easygoing and approachable, which is one of the reasons why each generation under Qin Henian has never become particularly distant from him.

"I'll lower it slowly. Let me know when it reaches the bottom! Whatever you do, don't cut it with a knife!"

Qin Henian agreed to everyone's reasonable requests, but he still needed to state his bottom line. These silver threads he possessed weren't cheap…

Clang! Clang! Clang…

One by one, figures descended from top to bottom. Once everyone's feet were firmly planted on solid ground, they gathered together, clearing a space in front of the entrance to the meteorite cave, waiting for Qin Henian's instructions.

Qin Henian didn't dawdle at all. He flew to the entrance of the meteorite cave with a few "thumps" of his feet. He placed his hand on the meteorite and felt the abundant energy inside slowly flowing into his body. A smile finally appeared on his lips, and his mind became excited!

I finally found you, and I'm so glad I didn't give up...

Because this piece of meteorite jade was relatively small, it absorbed energy very quickly. A few minutes later, Qin Henian stood up and looked into the meteorite jade cave.

"Wu Xie, Xiao Hua, do you want to see what's inside the meteorite?"

Qin Henian suddenly thought of the old woman underground in the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West, the winding Jade Cave and Jade Plate where she lived, and the other places where others lived. It was so comfortable lying in them, but it probably wasn't so comfortable now. She was probably long gone, frozen in those cocoons, let alone waking up.

Without the energy contained within the meteorite jade, everything will revert to its original state within half a month. Therefore, Qin Henian knew perfectly well what would happen to that old woman Xi Wangmu's meteorite jade.

But he knew that others didn't! After all, these chosen ones were key to getting him the energy, and besides, relationships are built over time. During the time they'd known each other, Qin Henian had tried his best to help them, and they were able to help him find what he was looking for. So, under these mutually beneficial circumstances, he helped eliminate the dog-barking family that was watching behind the Nine Gates.

"Can we go in? But before that..."

When Xie Yuchen heard Qin Henian's words, he also thought of the meteorite jade in the underground palace of the Queen Mother of the West. When Bei Ya and Qin Henian went in, he and Wu Xie wanted to go in as well, but they were stopped by Hei Xiazi. During their conversation, he also noticed something was wrong, which is why he has this question now.

"The previous one was because there was one alive inside. The others, although not awake, would be woken up by the living one, so it was just in case... But there isn't one inside this time. You can go in and take a look!"

Qin Henian had already absorbed the energy that needed to be absorbed and directly transferred it out through his own body. Xiao Tiandao could also receive it at any time through Qin Henian's body.

So now, only some residual power will go inside. With him, Little Qilin, and the blind man protecting them, this trip will be like sightseeing, letting them broaden their horizons.

"Really?"

Wu Xie was also surprised. He had wanted to go inside the meteorite jade to see what was inside that could attract Aunt Wen Jin so much. Now that he had the opportunity, he was naturally all smiles.

"Really! Let's go quickly!"

Qin Henian was speechless.

Whether one or two go in or not, the entrance is right here. If you want to know the truth, you have to go in yourself!

Qin Henian, who was already at the entrance of the meteorite cave, half-stood up. Because the entrance to the meteorite cave wasn't high, it was best to crawl. So, Qin Henian lay prone inside the meteorite cave, raising his delicate and pretty face, his eyes fixed intently on the inside of the meteorite... Ready! Let's go!

After the rustling figures disappeared, Zhang Qilin reacted the fastest, jumping onto the entrance of the meteorite cave and crawling after them with a few kicks.

Next up was Xie Yuchen. After exchanging glances, Wang Pangzi and Wu Xie tacitly squatted down under the opening of the meteorite jade bag, while the other stepped on the other's shoulder and climbed up. The others followed suit, helping one another and pulling on the other.

After seven or eight minutes, with Hei Xiazi bringing up the rear, a group of people lay down one after another in the Meteorite Cave and began to move forward with the people in front.

The passage opened up by the translucent, semi-crystalline yellowish-green meteorite jade became darker the deeper one went, and the surrounding environment became increasingly gloomy. After crawling along for a while, just as Qin Henian, the leader, was about to lose his patience, he raised his face in the darkness. His golden vertical pupils pierced through the yellowish-green meteorite jade and saw the large white cocoons coiled up in the depths on the other side. There were about seven or eight of them, each cocoon more than two meters high.

Seeing that they were about to reach the depths, Qin Henian sped up, and the group behind him also picked up speed. Finally, half an hour later, they arrived at the depths of the meteorite jade, an oval jade chamber of about fifty square meters.

"We've arrived? What are those big white 'rocks'?"
