Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

A feather was forcefully inserted into the black coffin, sending wood shavings and small bits of ash flying into the air. An overwhelming stench, like a locust swarm, rushed into Qin Henian's nostrils.

Chi!Chi!Chi!

Feather Blade continued to stab into the coffin. Due to the suddenness of the event, a hole was torn in the wood on one side of the coffin, and black corpse fluid flowed down the platform towards the pool.

The stench of the corpse spread instantly, and even the others standing on the steps in the distance were "poisoned," each covering their noses with their clothes or hands, their brows furrowed.

However, Qin, the instigator of the incident, suddenly curled his lip and looked disdainfully at the black water that was sinking into the coffin and the red threadworms that had begun to break apart after the corpse water had run out of nourishment. The reproductive head and the shriveled body of the worm turned into dust when the corpse water disappeared completely.

Click!Click!

At the same time, another clicking sound rang out in the tomb. This time, the wall behind the water tank suddenly opened up, revealing a long, sloping corridor with countless steps. To the naked eye, it was... well, very long.

A small black dot at the end of the corridor caught the attention of Fatty Wang's small eyes. He raised his hand as if using binoculars to look at it, and couldn't help but smirk.

"Hey! Little naiveté! Look over there, isn't there someone sitting up there? Could it be the corpse of the Queen Mother of the West that we're looking for?"

Fatty Wang walked up to Wu Xie, put his hand on Wu Xie's shoulder and shook him, looking excited and thrilled.

Fatty Wang was overjoyed at that moment, because with his "eagle eyesight," he had already spotted the glittering treasure on the black dot.

That'll fetch a lot of money!!!

Da da da...

With the sound of footsteps, a group of people set off towards the top of the steps, stirring up dust that clung to their trouser legs.

A few minutes later, Qin Henian stood on the high platform, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face. The tightly closed corners of the eyes were cracked, revealing the withered, yellowish-white skin and numerous rotten holes beneath. The fake skin attached to the surface was merely covered with a thick layer of dust, yet it still looked lifelike on the face beneath.

No matter how tightly a mask is applied, it's still not real.

"Wow, is this gold?"

As soon as Wang Pangzi reached the top, panting heavily, he jogged to the fake Queen Mother of the West. His eyes gleamed at the gold crown and jade hairpins adorning the stiff hair, then he looked down at the gold and jade pendant and numerous beads hanging from the Queen Mother's chest...

"Holy crap, we've struck it rich this time!"

Fatty Wang shook his head excitedly while rummaging through his pockets for gloves, and also took out a number of transparent bags, ready to go all out.

Just as Fatty had finished his preparations and was about to touch the Queen Mother of the West's head, a slender hand suddenly slapped Fatty's excited hand away.

"Hey buddy? What are you doing?"

Fatty Wang tilted his head in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

"poisonous."

Zhang Qilin slapped Wang Pangzi's hand away and turned around, circling the high platform, trying to recall some memories of this place.

"poisonous?"

Snapped!

Wang Pangzi was startled by the sudden news and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly stepped back and moved to the side, keeping a distance of eight zhang from the Queen Mother of the West on the high platform.

"That old woman, the Queen Mother of the West, even in death, smeared herself with poison. She's a complete coward, like a tiger trying to fly! Even in death, she still pulls these crazy stunts..."

Wang Pangzi's cursing voice rang out loudly in the tomb chamber.

Xie Yuchen and Wu Xie originally wanted to get closer to the Queen Mother of the West, but before they could take two steps, they heard that the corpse was poisonous and had to retreat to observe from a distance of a few meters.

Then a fragrant breeze swept by, and Chen Wenjin stared intently at her surroundings, her heart pounding with each glance.

"How could it not be there? Something must be wrong..."

"Was that step wrong, or is there something else...?"

After surveying his surroundings, Chen Wenjin seemed to be possessed, muttering to himself as he quickly explored the platform at the end of the stone steps, his footsteps wandering and stomping erratically.

creak!

As the sound rang out, the corpse sitting on the stone platform suddenly trembled. The stone steps on both sides that were used to hold the corpse in place suddenly flipped over, and two rhomboid flying pieces made of magnets shot out to both sides. Fortunately, everyone was far away and no one was injured.

Have you finished watching?

Qin Henian had been waiting for a long time, and his legs were getting numb from standing there. He could have tolerated it if this woman hadn't been stepping on things so carelessly, but this woman just kept messing around like that...

"None of them! None of them!...Yes, yes, the Queen Mother of the West...the Queen Mother of the West..."

Chen Wenjin searched for a long time but couldn't find any useful information. A surge of rage welled up within him, and instantly his eyes bulged, bloodshot and gushing from his mouth. His body collapsed to the ground in a contorted position, muttering incoherently, as if he had lost all feeling of pain and reason...

"what!"

"What the hell is this?! She...she...!"

She looks completely different now!

Crunch....

The sound of bones twisting startled Wu Xie, who was standing to one side, causing his face to turn pale and his mind to go completely blank.

"Wow! She's about to mutate and evolve."

Blackie's eyes narrowed behind his sunglasses, and his hand unconsciously reached for his lower back, silently gripping the hilt of his knife, ready to attack at any moment.

Compared to Wu Xie, Xie Yuchen was much calmer. Having grown up in the gray areas of life, this little commotion was nothing to him.

"Don't kill them!"

Zhang Qilin glanced around, noticing the wariness and suspicion in the eyes of the group, but his pupils suddenly contracted when his gaze fell on Qin Henian.

At that moment, Qin Henian, sitting opposite, had his mouth open and saliva was gushing out, his eyes fixed on the twisted woman on the ground.

"Don't kill! Eat!"

A grayish-white feather about ten centimeters long twirled between his fingertips. Qin Henian stared at Chen Wenjin with shining eyes. Suddenly, he remembered something and tilted his head to look in the direction of Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen.

"Jie Yuchen, I'll take care of this woman you mentioned."

"Wu Xie, this woman is no longer human, she belongs to me."

After saying what he wanted to say, Qin Henian went through the recipes he had thought of before, and finally chose the simplest one from a series of dishes such as steaming, boiling, frying, and braising... to eat it raw!

Walking to Chen Wenjin's side on the ground, Qin Henian squatted down and swiftly drew two lines on Chen Wenjin's forehead with the feather in his hand, two crosses pointing directly at the center of his eyebrows. The sharp tip of the feather plunged in forcefully, and drops of blood gushed out like a spring. Soon, a small, bright red insect corpse mixed in with the blood fell out.

Seeing this, Qin Henian swiftly grabbed the dead corpse beetle king and fed it to his mouth! Mmm... raspberry flavor!!!

While everyone was still in shock, Qin Henian jumped in front of the fake Queen Mother of the West in a few quick movements and slapped her head away.

The heavy object fell to the ground, and the fake skin on the corpse's face fell off and crumbled, revealing half of its original appearance.

Buzzing... Buzzing...

Another red corpse beetle king crawled out of the head of the Queen Mother of the West. This time, Qin Henian didn't need to lift a finger. Zhang Qilin, who was nearby, had already drawn his black gold ancient sword from his back and cleaved it down precisely. Two warm sections of the insect corpse fell off.

Boom! !

The sound of the mechanism being activated rang out, and Zhang Qilin reacted the fastest, turning his head in one direction.
