I just broke up with my boyfriend and then I transmigrated into the world of "The Lost Tomb&quo

Wu Xie and Liang Shiye climbed up the tree. As soon as they reached the branch, several cracks appeared on the tree, and several things that looked like monkeys crawled out.

The monkey-like creatures crawled towards Wu Xie and Liang Shiye. Wu Xie shone his flashlight on the 'monkeys' faces and discovered that they had no facial features. Wu Xie instinctively fired his gun upon seeing these creatures.

To his surprise, all the shots he fired hit the trees, and the bullets ricocheted several times before finally heading straight for Wu Xie's face. Wu Xie dodged the bullets, but was still grazed on the face.

"What the hell is this thing?" Wu Xie shouted, holding up his gun.

As soon as he finished speaking, a crack appeared on the 'monkey's' face, and it reached out to grab Wu Xie's ankle. Caught off guard, Wu Xie was grabbed by it. With one hand holding the bronze branch, Wu Xie fired a shot into the crack on the monkey's face. With a "bang," the 'monkey's' head exploded.

After dealing with the lower one, there was still a 'monkey' above. It grabbed Wu Xie by the neck, choking Wu Xie until his face turned a liverish color. Wu Xie took out the Thousand Chance Umbrella from his bag and stabbed it straight into the 'monkey's' face until the 'monkey's' face was riddled with holes. The 'monkey' yelled and jumped onto a nearby branch to scratch its face.

The 'monkey's' face completely cracked open, shattering into pieces of white fragments that began to fall off. Wu Xie caught a fragment and discovered that the white pieces were stone, revealing the 'monkey's' face covered in yellow fur.

While Wu Xie was still in a daze, Liang Shiye fired a shot behind him. Wu Xie immediately came to his senses. There were more and more monkeys in the trees. Liang Shiye shouted to Wu Xie, "There are too many monkeys. We have to get out of here! They are afraid of fire. Go back and get some flares!"

Wu Xie nodded, and Liang Shiye cleared the way for him. Wu Xie descended along the path, and when he was about ten meters from the ground, he shouted, "Lao Yang! Fire the flare!"

There was no reply, but the flare was still launched. Wu Xie quickly closed his eyes. He heard a series of howling sounds and smelled a mixture of roasted meat and stench.

After a long time, the sounds stopped. Wu Xie's eyes hurt a little, and tears streamed down his face. The power of the flares was too strong, blinding him so much that he couldn't see anything.

Master Liang was the first to react, and said to Wu Xie, "I think I know what this tree is for."

With his eyes closed, Wu Xie asked without thinking after hearing what Master Liang said, "What are you doing?"

“I’m just guessing. I’m feeling the grooves on this tree. This thing is probably used to collect blood, rainwater, dew, or the like. There are also things like bayonet-like blood grooves under these branches, leading all the way to the patterns on the two-bodied snake. There are also dried bloodstains on it, which confirms that it is a blood sacrifice artifact. Be careful, don’t bleed, or some god will think we are offering a sacrifice again,” Liang Shiye explained.

After listening, Wu Xie carefully got up and noticed as he climbed down that the branches were starting to extend upwards.

"Master Liang, watch out for the branches behind you!" Wu Xie reminded Master Liang.

As the two descended, the branches continued to slowly climb towards them. Upon seeing Ling Xiao, Wu Xie grabbed him and started running, while Ling Xiao pulled Lao Yang along, with Liang Shiye following at the rear.

As if it had eyes, the branches sped up after they realized the others were escaping.

Wu Xie and his companions ran to a nearby cave entrance and saw that the branch had stopped outside the cave. Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second his heart jumped again.

The cave was filled with the corpses of the faceless monkeys. Wu Xie casually peeled off one of the monkeys' masks, shone a flashlight on it, and took a step back in fright, saying, "What? How come it's a person?"

Master Liang also shone his flashlight over. The 'monkey's' face was deformed due to dehydration, and its eyes were just two black eye sockets. Its mouth was wide open, as if it had seen some incredible scene before it died.

Master Liang examined the mask in Wu Xie's hand for a while before saying, "This mask can only be worn with your mouth open. It's a worm, and only half of it is here. It seems to be called a Chi Gu."

"Why is it only half a worm? Where is the other half?" Wu Xie asked, puzzled.

The clerk shone his flashlight on the 'monkey's' mouth and said, "It's here."

Wu Xie carefully examined the 'monkey's' tongue, then looked at the mask in his hand. The next second, Liang Shiye knocked the mask from his hand.

Master Liang exclaimed in alarm, "Why are you still holding it! This mask is alive!"

Wu Xie stared blankly as the mask that Liang Shiye had knocked to the branch outside the cave shattered into powder. The branch stretched straight in, entangled the four of them, and pulled them back up the tree, hanging them up.

Ling Xiao experienced what it felt like to be upside down. His clothes were quite large, and his backpack and clothes were hanging near his head. He was only able to stay upright because his arms were supporting him.

Ling Xiao glanced at Wu Xie and Master Liang, and finding that no one was looking in his direction, he put his backpack into his spatial storage, took the nine-section whip from his waist, and lashed it at the branch at his feet.

The branch was snapped off by the whip, and Ling Xiao's body fell in a curved motion. Ling Xiao swung the nine-section whip and wrapped it around another branch, stopping his fall, and slowly climbed up.

"Lingzi! I'm here!" Hearing the voice, Wuxie saw Lingxiao climbing up the branch and waved the Thousand Chance Umbrella and flashlight at him.

Ling Xiao glanced at him, then crawled towards Wu Xie's location. After rescuing Wu Xie, Liang Shiye also escaped his predicament.

"Where's Lao Yang?" Wu Xie asked, holding a flashlight.

Then he saw a deathly pale face hanging upside down diagonally above him...

"Old Yang...is dead..." Wu Xie swallowed hard. Old Yang's head was half-fallen, and his neck looked like it had been cut off in half, with blood dripping down. His trachea and blood vessels were clearly visible...

Following the trail of Lao Yang's blood, a group of insects crawled up. Hearing the noise, Liang Shiye shone his flashlight and saw a group of beetles with human faces crawling up.

"Hurry up!" Master Liang shouted. Wu Xie also saw the insects and quickly came to his senses, scrambling up as well.

The three climbed for a while, and the beetles below stopped following them. However, a large number of Chi Gu 'monkeys' inexplicably appeared on the rocks above and beside them.

The venomous creatures crawled towards them twice and then ran away.

"They seem to be very afraid of us..." Wu Xie said as if he had discovered something, then grabbed a Chi Gu. The Chi Gu seemed to have seen some kind of monster, squeaking and struggling.

"Just now, one grabbed my ankle and it didn't do this!" Wu Xie didn't quite understand what these creatures were afraid of, but to him, these Chi Li looked just like how insects would react when they encountered Xiao Ge.

"That's because of the Qilin Blood you have, but it's a bit expired, so it works sometimes and doesn't work sometimes. That's why I don't recommend grabbing such a dangerous creature so rashly," Ling Xiao advised him earnestly.

After hearing this, Wu Xie immediately let go of her hand and continued climbing. There were many corpses on the branches above, and the dragon-like creatures on the faces of the monkeys on the walls began to fall off.

Slowly, it transformed into a beetle with a human face. The branches of the tree, with corpses tied to them, extended towards the wall. The beetle crawled on the corpses, and soon the tree was covered with them. The branches above continued to supply corpses.

Wu Xie saw a familiar corpse: Lao Yang.

Although the corpse was desiccated, Wu Xie still recognized the man as Lao Yang. As he pondered what was happening, he heard someone call his name from behind. He recognized the voice, but dared not turn around, for it was Lao Yang's voice…

"Wu Xie! Wait for me!" Lao Yang called out to him from behind.

Wu Xie crawled even faster, faster than the insects chasing him. He had known for a long time that Lao Yang might not be human, but while he could accept Lao Yang being a ghost, he couldn't accept having Lao Yangs on both sides of him...

He lay there, and one beetle after another appeared on the tree. Wu Xie saw that they appeared out of thin air on the tree.

However, Lao Yang was still calling out from behind: "Wu Xie, why didn't you wait for me! Didn't we agree that Ling Xiao and I would wait for you downstairs? How come you've all climbed up here in the blink of an eye?"

Is Lao Yang's memory still stuck under the tree? Wu Xie pondered, looking at the Chi Gu that appeared out of nowhere. Wu Xie seemed to understand something: this tree can transform!

The dried corpse he just saw was the real Lao Yang! The one who came to the tomb with him was an illusion of Lao Yang, and the one behind him was the third Lao Yang that the illusion of Lao Yang manifested after his death!

! ! ! ! !

Did Lao Yang, after his transformation, know that he was an illusion? Why was he so determined to bring him here?

Wu Xie decided to wait for him to climb over, so the three of them waited for Lao Yang on the branches. Once Lao Yang caught up with them, Wu Xie got straight to the point: "Lao Yang, why did you bring me here? Was this tree your original purpose?" He still remembered the tree that Lao Yang had drawn at the dinner table.

Lao Yang stammered for a long time without speaking, and Wu Xie said bluntly, "You don't need to beat around the bush. I know you are dead and were created by this tree. I just want to know what you want to do?"

Upon hearing Wu Xie's words, Ling Xiao thought to himself that something was wrong. Sure enough, Lao Yang stopped pretending and directly conjured a dagger and stabbed at Wu Xie. Fortunately, Ling Xiao managed to knock the dagger down with his nine-section whip in time.

"Old Yang! What are you doing?" Wu Xie was shocked to see that Old Yang was about to attack him.

To everyone's surprise, Lao Yang burst into tears, saying, "Wu Xie! You don't understand me, and I won't take your life! I just want to borrow some of your blood. I just want my mother to come back to life. Wu Xie, my mother is dead! She died on the sewing machine!"

"This tree has the ability to materialize, which is called materialization. You can turn it into whatever you want. You just need to imagine what you want when you inject fresh blood." Old Yang's voice was anxious as he explained, afraid that Wu Xie would not agree.

“I’ve read a lot of books and I know that this tree is the wishing snake tree that the ancients talked about. I know that I have obtained this power, but I find that once I control this ability with my mind, I can’t get rid of distracting thoughts. So I need someone with a pure mind who has met my mother to help me. Wuxie! Can you understand me?” Lao Yang wanted to touch Wuxie’s shoulder, but Wuxie took a step back.

Wu Xie refused Lao Yang, saying, "Lao Yang, this feels like going against the will of Heaven; the dead cannot be brought back to life."

When Lao Yang saw Wu Xie refuse, a fanatical madness appeared in his eyes. He shouted at Wu Xie, "Lao Wu, I'm not greedy. Material things can only live for three years. I only need three years. I served three years in prison. When I got home, my mother died. I just want to make it up to her. I don't want her to leave alone."

"I'm sorry, Lao Yang, I can't..." Wu Xie refused him again.

"Wu Xie! Don't force me! If it weren't for Ling Xiao protecting you all this way, I would have succeeded long ago!" Lao Yang seemed furious, his eyes were red. If it weren't for Ling Xiao, Wu Xie would have died when he jumped off the waterfall. Then the person who came to the Bronze Tree with him would be Wu Xie No. 2. Even if Wu Xie disagreed, as long as he mentioned his mother, Wu Xie would have an idea, and his mother would appear at home a hundred miles away. How could he be in such a passive position now?

As Lao Yang grew angry, the bronze tree began to shake, and its branches transformed into sharp thorns that pierced towards Wu Xie and Ling Xiao.

"Old Yang, do you know Mickey Mouse?" Ling Xiao suddenly said to Old Yang.

"What?" Lao Yang asked in confusion.

"It's... Miska, Museka, Mickey Mouse!" Ling Xiao finished speaking and cleanly severed Lao Yang's head, then threw the head down. He took out a wet wipe from his pocket, wiped his hands, and sighed. He had forgotten to chant the incantation when he killed Lao Yang, giving him a chance to revive for nothing. What would he conjure up this time? Mickey Mouse?

After Lao Yang died, the branches stopped coming towards them and retreated.

Wu Xie swallowed hard and asked, "Ling Zi, do you know something? Lao Yang said he succeeded if it wasn't you. What's going on?"

Ling Xiao simply replied indifferently, "I don't know anything. Besides, isn't Lao Yang your friend?"

Wu Xie Zheng was stunned for a moment, then thought to himself: Yes! Lao Yang is my friend, and I went down into the tomb with Ling Zi. What could he possibly know?

The bronze tree began to sway, and a large number of dragon-like creatures and... Mickey Mouse figures began to emerge from below.

"Run!" Ling Xiao shouted in shock. This Mickey Mouse in three-dimensional form was truly terrifying! Ling Xiao already disliked this cartoon character, and now he hated it even more…

The three were fast, but Mickey Mouse wasn't slow either. As if driven by some deep-seated grudge, it charged towards Wu Xie and Ling Xiao. Master Liang fired two shots at it, but as soon as one fell, countless Mickey Mouses rose again…

Ling Xiao cracked his whip as he climbed, and Wu Xie fired a couple of shots every now and then. Finally, they saw some light and the three of them quickly climbed to the top of the tree, but the treetop was still more than ten meters away from the outermost mountain wall.

"Wu Xie, the Thousand-Machine Umbrella!" Ling Xia shouted to Wu Xie.

Wu Xie handed the Thousand Chance Umbrella to Ling Xiao, who then switched it to a grappling hook and attached it to the mountain wall, saying to the two of them, "One person at a time, I'll hold on here, hurry!"

Seeing that neither of them moved, Ling Xiao anxiously said to Wu Xie, "Wu Xie, you go first! Quickly!"

Master Liang nodded to him, and Wu Xie climbed up. Master Liang and Ling Xiao held onto the Thousand Chance Umbrella together, and Master Liang asked Ling Xiao, "Did you get the item?"

Ling Xiao nodded. When Liang Shiye learned that he had obtained it, he said to him, "You are too weak, you go first, I will cover the rear."

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and then climbed up. Soon, all three of them climbed out, but the Mickey Mouse and the Chi Gu obviously didn't intend to let them go so easily.

"Do you have any explosives?" Wu Xie asked Liang Shiye. He had thrown away his explosives before jumping off the waterfall, and now the only option was to blow up the tomb.

Liang Shiye took out explosives from his backpack and said, "I found them."

Wu Xie glanced at the explosives and immediately recognized them as his own. They were wrapped in several layers of waterproof plastic, making it clear that they were his.

They lit the explosives, threw them onto the top of a tree, then into a deep pit, and the group ran down.

Hearing the explosion, the entire mountain shook violently. There were many murals carved on the mountain wall, but most of them had been weathered and eroded. The group walked down along the murals, but Ling Xiao couldn't go any further and gave himself another injection.

Master Liang held his wrist and gestured with his eyes not to inject too much adrenaline. Ling Xiao said he knew what he was doing, as he still needed it to get down the mountain!

Master Liang released his grip, and the noise of an airplane came from the air. Wu Xie and the other two looked up and saw a helicopter in the sky above the waterfall. The helicopter slowly descended, its rotors spinning slowly.

The helicopter cabin door slowly opened, and a rope ladder was lowered down. Xie Yuhua stood at the cabin door, gesturing for them to come aboard.

"It's Xiaohua! He's here to pick us up!" Wuxie excitedly climbed the rope ladder.

Master Liang also helped Ling Xiao up the rope ladder.

As soon as Wu Xie boarded the plane, he began to pour out his heart. Xie Yuhua looked down at the child struggling to climb and frowned.

"How did it get like this?" Jieyuhua asked.

Wu Xie glanced at Ling Xiao, then described the situation inside the tomb to Xie Yuhua: "Xiao Hua, you wouldn't believe it, this tomb is like hell. And my childhood friend Lao Yang actually tried to harm me, but he said he would have succeeded if it weren't for Ling Zi. Xiao Hua, can you help me analyze this..."

After Ling Xiao and Master Liang came up, they saw Xie Yuhua frowning as she listened to Wu Xie talking to her.

When Ling Xiao saw Xie Yuhua, he couldn't help but recall the dream he had in the tomb. Although he knew it was fake, Ling Xiao still unconsciously felt a touch of gentleness in his eyes.

When Jieyuhua saw Lingxiao come up, her gaze was fixed on his forehead, where the white bow with red and yellow accents was incredibly striking. The child's face and body were very clean, but he had lost a lot of weight. Looking at the child's gentle eyes and grateful smile, Jieyuhua felt as if her heart was being pierced by countless needles.

His hand trembled slightly as he stroked the bandage on Ling Xiao's head, and he slowly asked, "Why?" The three words seemed to be uttered with all his might, and Xie Yuhua's eyes were filled with heartache.

Why have you let yourself get into this state? Why are you so indifferent to yourself?
