Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

Chapter 160 Kunlun Fetus

After a night's rest, the group continued their journey early the next morning.

After Chen Pi occasionally observed the terrain and adjusted the route, the group arrived smoothly at the halfway point of 'Little Sacred Snow Mountain'.

"This is it."

Chen Pi tapped the thick snow beneath his feet and confirmed.

Their generation didn't have any particularly sophisticated instruments; they relied on their eyesight, experience, and intuition.

Everyone was aware of Chen Pi's abilities, and no one raised any questions. Now, the only thing to consider was how to open the tunnel.

Snow mountain operations are different from previous operations in forests and underwater. In those places, once the rocks were blown up, it was fine. Just like in the Qinling Mountains, the local villagers were used to the tomb raiders setting off firecrackers.

This place is different. In the deep mountains covered with snow all year round, let alone blasting, even a slightly loud noise could cause an avalanche.

Therefore, Lang Feng's suggestion to use explosives was rejected by everyone except his own companions.

They didn't want to experience the thrill of escaping an avalanche, so they politely declined...

Lang Feng was annoyed at being humiliated by everyone. He wanted to see what clever ideas these troublemakers could come up with. Hmph ╯^╰

To be honest, this is really not difficult for these cheaters.

Once the location designated by Chenpi was determined, several workers laboriously carried specially made, slender saws and cut out a two-meter square area in the snow.

Su Li placed her hand on the cut-out snow surface, and with a thought, the cut-out snow surface instantly disappeared, leaving a square indentation in front of everyone.

Lang Feng, who had initially dismissed his colleagues' actions, widened his eyes, almost popping them out of their sockets.

Chen Pi raised an eyebrow in surprise as he watched Su Li's move. He had lived from the Republic of China era to the present day and had seen many strange and unusual things, but he had never seen such a skill before.

The snow was thick, but after working with the crew a few times, the hard ice surface was exposed to everyone.

The staff even thoughtfully built steps to make it easier for everyone to come down.

The ice surface, cleared of snow, was crystal clear. When Su Li shone a headlight on it, a huge, fetal-shaped object clearly appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Hiss! Kunlun Embryo!!!"

Monk Hua gasped in astonishment.

Seeing that his colleagues were all looking at him, he instinctively began to explain, a habit he had developed after two days of tutoring.

"This 'Kunlun fetus' should actually be called 'Earth-born fetus,' which was recorded in the Tang Dynasty's 'Great Tang Yin-Yang Book.'"

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, local Tibetans discovered a giant ice embryo, as large as a mountain bucket, beneath a giant cirque in the Kunlun Mountains. It had already formed facial features and was a female infant.

Thus, the "earth-born fetus" was also called the "Kunlun fetus," and later a temple was built on the baby girl's navel, called the Kunlun Child Temple.

'Kunlun Embryo' only appears in places where dragon veins converge. It can also be said that the earth's spiritual energy is too active and dense, with nowhere to be dissipated, thus accumulating and giving birth to this existence..."

As Su Li listened to Monk Hua's explanation, she secretly did some calculations...

Got it...

In the world of cultivation, spiritual veins are rich in spiritual energy, which will give birth to spirit stone mines; in the world of Daomu Biji, dragon veins are rich in dragon energy, which will give birth to children.

Dragon Vein: ...

Are you polite?

"Beep beep, a strange creature has been detected—Kunlun Fetus (artificial), which can be redeemed for 2000 points. Do you want to redeem it?"

Oh~~

It's man-made... not a child of the dragon vein... yet the dragon vein is raising it...

Is this a dragon vein or a cursed offspring?

Dragon Vein: Damn...

Su Li tugged at Zhang Qiling, and when Zhang Qiling looked over, she pointed confidently at the artificial 'Kunlun fetus' in the ice.

"want to……"

Zhang Qiling estimated the area and immediately drew his sword.

Wu Xie subconsciously bestowed a blessing...

The hard ice was like a fragile block of tofu in Zhang Qiling's hands, cutting through it effortlessly, even more easily than when the guys were cutting through the snow.

Seeing that the ice layer had been mostly cleared, Su Li stepped forward and gently punched him.

The ice layer that was still encasing the 'Kunlun Embryo' broke off completely and fell downwards.

Fortunately, the system reacted quickly and accepted the request immediately; otherwise, it would have fallen out of the system's operational range.

It's been almost half a year since I last received any points. They've collected a small amount of points and even finished digging the tunnel. They're really amazing.

Looking down through the cave entrance, a magnificent and expansive palace complex comes into view.

In that era when everything was done by human labor, without any modern machinery, such a magnificent underground palace was built in this place!

All I can say is that ancient craftsmen were truly capable of anything for the sake of their entire families!

A dozen or so people were peering through the hole, all expressing the same astonishment. From this angle... it really felt like peeking from someone's rooftop...

"What's the point of lying here and looking? Let's go down and take a look."

Black Bear, arms crossed, looked amusedly at Su Li, who was huddled with his men, and lifted him out.

"What Blackie says is true, isn't it this distance..."

Hua the monk just peered out and estimated that the opening they made was not directly above the underground palace.

From the ice layer where they were, down to the underground palace below, there was not only a height of over 100 meters, but also a horizontal distance of over 20 meters.

Getting in is a real challenge.

"Young Master, the monkey show is about to begin, come quickly!"

Before Hua Heshang could get a reply from Hei Xiazi, one of the men in the group of people chattering at the cave entrance called out to Su Li.

"I'm coming!"

Upon hearing the summons, Su Li eagerly ran back.

The other guys had already moved aside, and by the cave entrance stood a very thin guy, but with a very good spirit.

The guy had changed his gear, was carrying a backpack, had a rope tied around his waist, and was waiting for Su Li to come over with a grin.

Black Bear gestured with his chin toward Monk Hua, indicating that he should come and take a look.

This guy, nicknamed "Monkey" by his companions, has a great hobby when he's not doing anything: extreme sports.

He was incredibly excited. Who's ever skydived from an indoor space a hundred meters high? Him! A monkey! He's done it!!!

"Go ahead and charge, monkey! With the young master here, your life is safe."

His friend, who knew him well, joked with him.

But it's true. If they were playing this game on their own, it might be a bit risky, but with the young master and the others around, their lives are practically guaranteed.

In the eyes of these guys, Su Li and his friends were practically gods.

To be honest, those who could pass the Heart-Questioning Formation were originally Xie Yuchen's die-hard fans, and after becoming his confidants, Xie Yuchen and his group revealed their abilities...

Let alone committing such a minor death, they would even want to shoot themselves to see if that kind of death is exciting enough.
