Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Tongzi, you say, since the plot line has begun to collapse, how about I try to violate the plot setting?

[How to violate the plot setting? ]

You see, this time, Aning and his team will encounter a sandstorm as they move forward, and the sandstorm will separate the team.

Several of Aning's team members entered the Devil City. When Aning and Wu Xie went to rescue them, they found a pottery jar of the Corpse Beetle King in the big ship of the Devil City.

While they were moving the pottery jars, they broke them and the corpse beetles came out in droves, biting many people to death. Wu Xie and Aning also disappeared.

Finally, Fatty and his friends searched for a long time before they found the two dying people.

If I violated the plot setting and asked Aning to stop the vehicle before the sandstorm came, as long as the team members were not separated, there would be no Devil City incident later, right?

[Hmm...it seems to be true. How about giving it a try? ]

Well, let’s give it a try! It’s a good opportunity to see if Tian Dao, who hasn’t appeared for a long time, will take action again.

Zhang Hanyan turned her head and looked out the window, seemingly looking at the scenery along the way, but in fact she was recalling the plot and thinking about the time when the sandstorm would arrive.

The neatly arranged convoy advanced in an orderly manner. The sun gradually rose to its highest point, emitting its harsh rays wantonly in this deserted desert.

Zhang Hanyan deliberately opened the window next to her seat a little, silently feeling the subtle changes in the wind speed around her.

[Host, the air currents around us are getting faster and faster.]

Yeah. I know.

The wind and sand gradually blew up, and the sky around the vehicle was filled with yellow sand, and the visibility outside the window became increasingly poor.

Aning was worried that the team would get separated, so he took out the walkie-talkie and spoke anxiously.

"Open......"

"parking!"

Before she could finish her words, the dagger in Zhang Hanyan's hand was already against her snow-white, slender neck.

She knew that Aning was not someone who would easily listen to others, and she didn't want to waste time explaining too much to Aning.

So, I just used the simplest and most direct method, which saves me both trouble and worry.

"What are you doing!" Aning asked loudly.

"Have everyone stop and wait. Do not act alone. Hurry up!"

The sharp dagger was pressed tightly against Aning's skin, and the cold touch made her dare not move rashly.

This sudden change made Zhang Qiling look rarely confused. He knew that now was not the time to ask about the reason, so he had to keep silent.

Aning didn't say anything, but just turned her head slightly to glance at the driver beside her.

The driver immediately understood what she meant, turned on the hazard lights, and slowly stepped on the brakes to stop the car.

He took out the walkie-talkie used for communication between team members and sent messages to people in other cars. Zhang Hanyan did not retract the dagger until all the vehicles behind stopped.

Aning, whose life was no longer in danger, suddenly jumped up from her seat and was about to settle the score with Zhang Hanyan, but her next light words completely blocked Aning's boundless anger.

"Aning, a sandstorm is coming..."

Aning glared at her unwillingly and looked out the car window doubtfully. There was more and more wind and sand around the vehicle and visibility was getting lower and lower.

In the distance, the tornado hitting Xuan'er was getting bigger and bigger, and its speed was getting faster and faster!

She turned to look at Zhang Hanyan, her face full of disbelief, "How did you know in advance that a sandstorm was coming? Can you predict the future?"

Her question made Zhang Qiling, who had been silent all this time, raise his head slightly. He glanced at her with icy eyes and said in a cold voice.

"It has nothing to do with you! If you don't want to die, shut up!"

The threat in his words was so blatant and undisguised that Aning was stunned for a moment.

He opened the car door, pulled Zhang Hanyan out, and used the car as a shelter to protect her from the wind and sand.

Seeing this, Aning had to put aside his doubts for the time being and took out the walkie-talkie to call the team members in the vehicle behind.

"Everyone get out of the car and stay next to the car. Do not move around or stay in the car. The sandstorm will overturn the car if it is too strong!"

As soon as Aning finished speaking, the sound of doors opening and closing could be heard all around.

The wind and sand around were getting stronger and stronger. Zhang Qiling used his body as a wall to hold Zhang Hanyan tightly in his arms.

Zhang Hanyan released his spiritual sense and quietly observed everyone in the team at the rear, especially Wu Xie who was with Jie Yuchen.

She knew Wu Xie's strange physique too well, so she had to pay more attention to him and the people around him.

Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen leaned on each other in the wind and sand. They each held the tires of the car tightly with their right hands, not daring to let go at all.

The wind and sand were so strong that they didn't dare to speak. As soon as they opened their mouths, they would get a mouthful of sand.

[Host, I feel the energy around me moving differently.]

What is that? That dog... Is Heaven coming?

Before the system could answer, Zhang Hanyan's spiritual sense saw several cars in the team being swept into the air by the sandstorm and then falling heavily.

The moment the car hit the ground, it broke into pieces.

The team members hiding behind those cars were not much better off. They were all swept up by the sandstorm and had no idea where they would fall.

Just when the team was in a panic, Zhang Hanyan clearly saw that Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen disappeared from the spot in an instant and were nowhere to be found.

What else is there for her to not understand in the current situation? The collapsed plot comes with the permission of Heaven. If she tampered with the plot without authorization, Heaven would forcibly correct it.

Just like now, she had clearly taken precautions in advance, but still failed to prevent it, and everything still went towards the predetermined ending.

[Host, it seems that there is no hope for violating the plot setting! ]

I see... Never mind, now I have to wait for the sandstorm to stop before I go find them... Oh, since there's no hope of violating the plot without permission...

So, why won’t Heaven intervene when the mission you assigned goes against the plot setting?

In the original plot, Zhang Yecheng should have died in the ancient city of Sizhou, but isn’t he alive and well now?

There is no such thing as a saintly lady from the Zhang family that has been passed down for thousands of years in the original plot. Why would this non-existent character appear out of nowhere?

[Our system was born outside the six realms, so it is naturally not governed by the laws of nature. The host cannot interfere too much in the tasks we assign to him.

If he were to intervene forcefully, he would inevitably hurt himself. He... shouldn't be so stupid as to do something that would harm others and not benefit himself, right? 】

Zhang Hanyan thought about the several times that Tiandao had intervened in the past, and complained in his heart, Humph, maybe he is just so stupid?

He intervened several times, hurting others and himself, so now his power is getting weaker and weaker, which led to the collapse of the plot.

If... a few more times...

[Host! Please put away your bold fantasy. If the Heavenly Dao is gone, do you think... all living beings under the Heavenly Dao will still exist? ]

Why not? When the old Heavenly Dao disappears, a new Heavenly Dao can be born, right?

【......】Eh...the host's idea is so bold and dangerous...I feel like my life is in danger. Why?

As everyone discussed with each other, time passed little by little, the wind and sand around them gradually died down, and they could slowly see the general situation of the team.

Three vehicles in the team were swept away. Although the team members did not count them one by one, at a glance, they could see that almost half of them were missing.

"Everyone, assemble, and take a head count!"

After Aning gave the order, someone reported the list of missing persons soon after. A total of fifteen people were missing from the entire team.

Aning frowned as he looked around at the endless desert. He could only secretly thank God that his guide, Zhuoma, was safe.

Otherwise, considering Dingzhu Zhuoma's age, she would definitely die in this sandstorm.

"Find a place that's sheltered from the wind, take a short rest, and then spread out to look for the missing team members."

Aning's well-organized arrangements calmed down the slightly panicked crowd, who all followed her arrangements.

After Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling determined the location of the camp, they said hello to An Ning and set out to look for the missing Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen.

They had not walked far when Hei Xia Zi caught up with them and greeted them with a smile.

"Let's go together. There's strength in numbers."

Zhang Hanyan looked at the endless desert, stopped walking, and looked at Zhang Qiling.

"Little brother, you and Hei Ye go find the others. I will fly directly to find Wu Xie and Xiao Hua. I will be back as soon as I find them."

"Okay, be careful."

Zhang Qiling nodded and responded softly. Under Hei Xiazi's puzzled gaze, she flew up on her sword and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.

"Oh my god! What kind of magical kung fu is this? He can actually fly in the sky by standing on the sword? Is this a god descending to earth?"

Hei Xia Zi looked up at the direction where Zhang Hanyan disappeared. His eyes, hidden by his sunglasses, were as big as copper bells, full of disbelief.

Zhang Qiling glanced at him indifferently, not wanting to pay any more attention to him, and walked straight forward.

"Hey! Do all of you Zhang family members know this skill? How about you? Can you do it? How about you take me to experience it? Hey..."

During the subsequent search process, no matter how Hei Xia Zi asked, Zhang Qiling remained silent and did not show any intention of paying attention to him.

"Hey, I say! Why are you like a mute? No matter how I ask you, you won't say a word. How about this, I'll just call you Dumb Zhang from now on. This name suits you very well!"

Zhang Qiling stopped, gave him a light look, and continued walking forward.

Hei Xia Zi thought back to his previous actions, shook his head and chuckled, "Oh! I never thought that he would roll his eyes? It's really interesting."
