The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"If this explosive charge is detonated, we'll probably all die on the spot."

Pan Zi quickly replied.

"We can't worry about anything else now. If we don't use this explosive charge, we're all doomed. We can only leave it to fate and take a gamble. Wu Xie, aim and detonate the explosive charge."

Uncle Wu said hurriedly.

Although Wu Xie was panicking, his determination to survive made him calmer than ever before.

Wu Xie gripped his pistol tightly and fired a single shot, which went straight through the swarm of corpse beetles.

The moment they touched the explosive charge, the enormous roar and impact made everyone dizzy.

It wasn't until Wu Xie groggily opened his eyes that he realized he had already left the ancient tomb.

Wu Xie turned his head and saw that Pan Zi was lying next to him.

Uncle Wu, on the other hand, was smoking a cigarette, looking as if something was on his mind.

Seeing that Wu Xie had woken up, Uncle Wu finally smiled, a smile that hadn't appeared in a long time.

.......

Chapter 247 The Corpse Beetle Pill is Completed! An Unknown Time!

Deep in the mountains.

A man in white walks through the jungle, and the trees around him seem to be making way for him.

They forcefully cleared a path; if someone else were here and saw this, they would probably be terrified.

The man in white was Fang Yun.

The moment Wu Xie detonated the explosive pack that day, Fang Yun and Zhang Qi led everyone out of the crevice.

The two parted ways without exchanging a single word.

After leaving the ancient tomb and returning home, Fang Yun took out the jade tube from his spatial storage.

All that could be heard was a buzzing sound coming from the jade tube.

"After much effort, I finally obtained the Corpse Beetle King. It seems it's time to refine the Corpse Beetle Pill."

Fang Yun muttered to himself.

Fang Yun then closed the shop and went alone into the deep mountains and forests.

This mountain forest is where Fang Yunfeng and the flower girl are located.

Fang Yun has modified all the trees and rocks here into mechanisms, let alone ordinary people.

Even the most experienced tomb raiders could not pass through Fang Yun's elaborate escape formation unscathed.

When Fang Yun walked into a pile of rocks, a crack suddenly appeared in the ground.

Fang Yun leaped into the air, and the crack closed like a zipper.

You would never guess that such a huge crack once existed here.

Fang Yun walked into a room with practiced ease.

There was an old stove in the room.

Fang Yun opened the stove, and a fragrant aroma of medicine wafted out.

Fang Yun casually tossed the Corpse Beetle King into the alchemy furnace.

The corpse beetle king continued to squeak and squeak inside the furnace.

It kept impacting the top of the alchemy furnace.

It was as if they wanted to escape.

"Rest in peace and become a pill! This is your destiny."

Fang Yun said calmly.

Then, the fire was lit and the elixir was refined in one go.

Fang Yun had practiced this process countless times.

When it came to actually refining the Corpse Beetle Pill, it was as easy as doing a familiar task.

Fang Yun stood quietly by the alchemy furnace, waiting for the moment when the pill would be completed.

Time passed slowly, but the alchemy furnace remained motionless.

No matter what, this Corpse Beetle King is the king among corpse beetles.

Ordinary corpse beetles can live for hundreds of years if nothing unexpected happens.

Not to mention the Corpse Beetle King.

These creatures, which have survived in ancient tombs for thousands of years, naturally possess a tenacious vitality that is a headache to behold.

However, Fang Yun waited calmly to the side.

Having waited for decades, Fang Yun was in no hurry for even a moment.

The fire in the stove did not decrease at all; on the contrary, it burned even more fiercely.

White smoke billowed from around the stove, raising the temperature of the entire room by several hundred degrees.

A normal person would probably turn into a puddle of water instantly in a room like this.

Logically speaking, the process of refining the Corpse Beetle Pill is extremely complex, and requires countless rare and precious materials.

However, Fang Yun had already collected all of these things over the long years.

The moment the alchemy furnace was opened, the aroma of medicine wafting out was exactly what Fang Yun had prepared.

And this corpse beetle king is the last ingredient in the medicine!

Seven days later.

A pleasant medicinal fragrance wafted from the room.

Fang Yun then turned off the furnace fire, opened the furnace lid, and inside was a crystal-clear pill, which was the Corpse Beetle Pill.

"Unfortunately, there is only one Corpse Beetle Pill. According to the ancient books, this one pill can only be taken by one person. It seems we will have to think of other ways."

Fang Yun sighed.

Fang Yun flipped through the books beside him. If Uncle Wu and the others were standing next to him, they would definitely be dumbfounded.

Because these so-called books are all made of silk paper, they look very old.

Each piece of silk paper records the secrets of their era.

However, these silk papers were bound into books next to Fang Yun.

"There is no better way to achieve immortality than this. Time will tell whether it is true or not. This jade figurine is genuine. I wonder how long it will need to sleep after being combined with the Corpse Beetle Pill before it can awaken. But it doesn't matter. We can wait for as long as it takes."

Fang Yun put down the book beside her.

The book roughly states this.

"The jade terracotta figurine can put a person into a deep sleep, preventing their body from decaying. The corpse turtle pill can keep a person from aging, but when the pill breaks, the corpse turtle will reappear, and the person who takes the corpse turtle pill will surely die. However, if the two are combined, and the person lying in the jade terracotta figurine eats the corpse turtle pill, after the jade terracotta figurine has cooked the corpse turtle to death, they can wake up and gain immortality."

Unfortunately, that stern-faced scholar only knew one side of the story.

He only knew that the jade figurine could grant him immortality, but he did not know that he also needed to take the corpse beetle pill to achieve eternal life.

……

Fang Yun quietly looked at the flowers and the Seventh Sister in the coffin.

They then used an extremely special method to unravel the jade figurine wrapped in flowers.

This method is completely different from what Uncle Wu and his group used before.

Fang Yun's technique allows the flowers inside the jade figurine to be briefly exposed to the air.

The impact on the flowers is negligible and can be ignored.

Fang Yun then opened the flower's small mouth and put the corpse beetle pill inside.

Using internal force, the Corpse Beetle Pill entered the flower's abdomen.

Fang Yun used the same method to reseal the flower inside the jade figurine and then put the coffin back on.

After doing all this, Fang Yun silently left the secret room.

"The Corpse Beetle King is a once-in-a-millennium occurrence, and this is already the last Corpse Beetle King in the world. We need to find other ways to grant Seventh Sister immortality. Let me think... the Sand Sea, the Bronze Gate, the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds..."

Fang Yun muttered to himself as he walked out of the secret room.

Fang Yun walked out of the deep mountains.

The forest behind us returned to its original state.

No one but Fang Yun will ever find this place.

……

Antique shop.

The tables and chairs in the shop are made of high-quality sandalwood, which looks good from afar and is also nice to touch up close.
