The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 369 - 300: Transforming into Human Form (Part 3)

This thing looks silly, and putting it on... even sillier. But it’s effective against small flying insects, plus it has a collar to protect the back of your neck from bites.

Walking among the bizarre desert plants, we’ve finally blended into the environment. The scenery here looks especially like an alien planet from a sci-fi movie. Now, with these silly shields on our heads, we look like a budget version of astronauts.

Maybe we should add a lightning rod too?

Qinghan and Mike exchanged a few words, and Mike calmed down completely. His teammates have been dead for months now, and he buried them himself. The one still breathing is no longer the teammate he knew.

He moved quickly along the path, as if in a hurry. After three more hours, we came to a pile of rocks. The rocks in the desert are also strangely shaped, some like donkey dung balls, donkey dung balls, and donkey dung balls...

This was a place where round stones were clustered together, piles of round stones gathered as if polished by hand.

However, they weren’t; they are naturally formed stones, their positions naturally arranged, with no deliberate placing by anyone.

Mike buried another teammate here, and sure enough, we found a human-shaped stone in the rock pile. It wasn’t breathing; it was just a stone figure. But it wasn’t carved by human hands either. It was absorbed by the stone.

The strange phenomena made Mike furious. He said his teammates shouldn’t remain here in such a malformed state.

Qinghan advised him, saying once the mystery of the anomaly was solved, his teammates’ remains could be taken out for a proper burial in a genuine graveyard.

"I need to find the source of all this." Mike’s gaze was like a wolf’s, his clenched fist like a hammer.

When he finds the source, can he smash it to bits?

My thoughts started to wander again. Doctor Du put forward a bold hypothesis: she thinks the matter within the anomaly mimics the form of higher-level biological organisms.

After listening for a while, I summed it up for her: in this area, the material is like the spirits from Journey to the West. Whether they were mantis shrimps or rolling pins before, they would transform into human form once they gained sufficient power.

However, my knowledge is shallow, so I didn’t dare speak my thoughts aloud. If I did, Qinghan would surely glare at me.

In a serious situation, it’s best to maintain seriousness. So I just listened and didn’t express any opinions.

After half a day of walking, we needed to camp and rest. Due to reports of quicksand pits in the area, Qinghan and the others didn’t pitch tents but erected metal frames to place our sleeping bags on. The frames were over a meter high, providing reaction time if quicksand appeared.

Wang Le saw me eyeing the metal pipes for the frame and smiled, saying, "These are special pipes, very light, more sturdy than steel."

As he said this, he weighed the unassembled pipes in his hand, as if they were plastic pipes.

They knew I was new to fieldwork and hadn’t seen many things yet, nor knew what they were for.

As for role training, well, there is some, but Qinghan didn’t let me go. To be honest, our department has such a diverse team in background and skills that unified training is almost impossible. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

So, some people skip the role training, and I’m one of them.

Being labeled as an "Outsider Expert," Qinghan’s mind is simple: he fears I’ll expose abilities I shouldn’t have.

During fieldwork, teammates won’t always keep an eye on me, like Cheng Xuelin. Even if he’s with me, he might not see me take action. Training is different, with so many eyes watching and instructors and cameras observing and recording. It’s too easy to expose something.

I’m curious about which abilities Qinghan inherited from me — Night Vision, the Vajra Body, or the ability to use Karmic Fire?

Thinking this, I raised my hand and lightly patted Qinghan with my palm, just to try and see if I could transfer the Karmic Fire to him.

"What’s up?" Qinghan turned and asked me with a puzzled look.

"Nothing, just seeing if we can merge," I mumbled casually, avoiding mentioning Karmic Fire in front of others.

"You two are both advanced forms of life, probably can’t transform each other’s appearance," Doctor Du said earnestly.

"Ah, what a pity, I wanted to experience being a male idol," I said.

Doctor Du looked at me strangely and said, "Isn’t snatching a male idol enough for you?"

I immediately shook my head: "No, no, I didn’t snatch him. He loves me passionately, can’t break away, insists on sticking to me."

Doctor Du twisted her wrist and coldly said, "I think you need a beating."
