Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

Group leader Xiao Fubao: I have to remind you again here, because you are living people with flesh and blood, you will be more easily contaminated than when you were ghosts, not to mention that this time you are not going to the Bronze Guard Ground, but to that guy's territory, the possibility of being contaminated will be 100%. In other words, after this trip, there is a high probability that you will die. Not only will your bodies be contaminated, but your souls may also be contaminated. By then, you really may not be able to be saved, so you have to be mentally prepared.

Xiao Fubao's tone was extremely serious. He presented the almost 100% certain death to everyone without any concealment or embellishment. However, everyone in the group just paused for a moment before continuing.

Zhang Shouxu: ...It doesn’t matter. I’ve already seen the treasure and I’m already satisfied.

Zhang Zhenxian: Fuck, I haven’t even seen the baby yet. When I get back and see the baby, I’ll set off.

Zhang Haiqing: Me too, I want to see my baby again.

Zhang Minshan: Xiao Fubao, you don’t have to worry about this. We have lived for so long and have lived enough. Apart from being reluctant to part with our baby, there is nothing else that can make us nostalgic.

Zhang Jinshan: If we don’t go, then the treasure will be lost. In that case, let’s go.

Zhang Hailou: Ha, damn, I haven’t experienced this yet. Although I haven’t been able to spend enough time with my baby until now, it’s okay, as long as my baby is fine.

……

Watching the message pop up one after another in the group, little Fubao's eyes suddenly became wet. He raised his paw to wipe his eyes, and his little nose twitched with emotion.

Everyone is doing well.

However, although little Fubao was touched, he still poured out the cold water that he had prepared long ago.

Group leader Xiao Fubao: Don’t be anxious, there is one very serious thing I haven’t told you yet.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately quieted down, leaving space for Xiao Fubao to send a message.

Group leader Xiao Fubao: As I said just now, you will be almost 100% contaminated after you go in. Not only will the contaminated people lose control of their bodies, but their brain consciousness may also be obscured and tampered with, just like what happened to my sister before. Therefore, that guy is very likely to learn about the top-level talisman paper through your consciousness and make preparations in advance. By then, you may not even be able to get close to it, or it is not impossible that you will hand over all five talismans under its control.

When Xiao Fubao finished his last sentence, everyone in the group had already looked extremely ugly.

You said they'd die if they went? They could accept that, as long as they could successfully stick the talisman there and seal it. But now you're telling them there's a good chance they won't even get close, or even be contaminated and surrender to the enemy midway, and then hand over their secret weapon. How could they accept that?!

Zhang Hailou: No, that’s fucking it! How can we get there?

Zhang Zhenxian: Shit, why not just take the talisman paper and secretly apply it to it while it's still asleep? Why didn't we think of secretly applying it to it before?!

Zhang Zhenli: ...Shit, really? If we had applied the patch while it was asleep, wouldn't it have been over long ago? Why on earth did we wait until now?! Little Fubao, have you forgotten this too?!

Zhang Zhenxian's words startled everyone in an instant, but before they could regret it, Xiao Fubao dispelled their regrets.

Group leader Xiao Fubao: No, I didn’t forget, it’s just that this method doesn’t work, so I didn’t mention it.

Group leader Xiao Fubao: That guy is sleeping in his own space, and no one can enter. I thought about this when my sister gave me five top-grade talisman papers, but unfortunately, my perception tells me that I can’t get close to him. We can only wait for that guy to wake up and come out of the space on his own initiative. Only then can we really touch his body and have a chance to stick the talisman paper on him.

Xiao Fubao's explanation came at a very timely moment. Before anyone could feel any regret, Xiao Fubao's words made them lose all ideas instantly.

Oh, so there is no way. It’s okay then. It’s not that they forgot, nor was it that Xiao Fubao forgot.

Zhang Jinshan: So what do we do now? Huh? They want us to go in and deliver the talisman paper, and then they say we'll definitely be contaminated and information about the talisman paper will be known. Isn't this a dead end? Aren't we completely helpless?!

Zhang Haike: Or maybe find a few people who don't know about talisman paper? But none of them are as good as Zhang Shouxu and the others.

Zhang Daojun: No, we can't ask others. Xiao Fubao said before that the stronger the cultivator, the stronger the ability to resist pollution. So far, among all the known people, only our group is the strongest. If other ordinary people come, they will definitely be polluted faster. By then, they will have to hand over the five talismans not long after they enter. Our group can at least resist for a little longer.

Zhang Haike: Indeed, if you come, at least you will have the opportunity to get close to it with the talisman paper.

Zhang Shougui: I'm wondering, if we could extend the duration of contamination indefinitely, wouldn't that give us a chance to approach it when it's uncontaminated or less polluted? Aren't Slaughter and Faceless able to control large amounts of pollution now? Perhaps we could then have them clear the pollution around us, buying us more time and distance, perhaps even preventing us from being contaminated.

Faceless: Sure, but if that’s the case, then not all of us can go. There are too many people and we two may not be able to protect them all. Only with a few of us can we ensure that you won’t be contaminated and escort you all the way to that old thing.

Wang Can: And my brother and I, aren't our situations special? Even if our bodies are contaminated, our souls should remain uncontaminated as before. So we can each take a piece of talisman paper. While it's not as powerful as yours, at least it can ensure our minds are clear and we won't hand over the talisman paper.

Zhang Shouxu: Oh... yes, as for you two, that’s fine. If you are sure that your consciousness will not be polluted, you can be responsible for taking the two talisman papers.

Watching their discussion in the group, Xiao Fubao couldn't help but feel in his heart that there is strength in numbers, but he still needed to say everything that needed to be said.

Group leader Xiao Fubao: Wait a moment, wait a moment, let me talk about you two, Wang Can and Liu Sang first. After you were resurrected by your sister, the special state you had before is gone. Now your bodies and souls are completely integrated. There is no longer the situation where the bodies are polluted but the souls are clean. So although this idea is good, it is useless.

Group leader Xiao Fubao: Another thing is about Slaughter Without a Face. Although you two have become much stronger than before, there is still a risk of being contaminated again. If that guy finds out that you two are still alive, it is very likely that he will become more interested in you and use the high-level pollution that contaminated your sister to alienate you two again, making you his running dogs once again.

Those two sentences were like two basins full of ice water, which chilled the hearts of everyone in the group.

No, this doesn’t work and that doesn’t work, so isn’t that really hopeless?

Zhang Haixing: ...In that case, Wang Can and Liu Sang's method is useless, but Tu Lu and Wu Mian should still be useful, right? Can Ah Ling's invisibility talisman and illusion talisman be used? Perhaps we can use these talismans to sneak in.

Zhang Haixiong had a good idea. She thought that maybe she could use talisman paper to sneak up on the monster and stick the talisman paper on it when it was not prepared. However, Xiao Fubao rejected this suggestion without even thinking about it.

Group leader Xiao Fubao: No, except for the top-level talisman paper, my sister’s other talisman papers are only suitable for ordinary people. Even if you really bring invisibility talismans and illusion talismans, you will be discovered immediately when you get close. That guy doesn’t even need to use his eyes to see. In his territory, it is difficult for anything and everything to escape his perception.

Everyone: ...I feel a bit like a rat.

Zhang Haike: Then we have no choice but to charge in. All of us will go in. Tu Lu and Wu Mian will be responsible for removing the pollution around the five people holding the talisman paper. We will rush to it together, get close to it before it is contaminated, and find a way to stick the talisman paper on it.

Zhang Daojun: In this case, there is a high possibility that someone will be controlled by the pollution along the way and turn around to stop us.

Slaughter: That's very possible. That guy is extremely evil and will definitely do something like this to make us kill each other.

Zhang Zhenxian: Tsk, damn it, why don’t we charge separately instead of going in together?

Zhang Rishan: Wait, wait, wait, I think you need to stop for a moment.

Zhang Rishan, who had been watching from afar, finally emerged. He frowned and asked a very important question.

Zhang Rishan: That thing's underground, right? And its territory has expanded. You can't just run from the edge to it on foot like you did to the Bronze Garrison before, right? How long would that take?

Zhang Rishan: Let’s not talk about how big its territory has expanded now. Even if you really rush to it and are not contaminated, how much strength do you have left to fight it?

Zhang Rishan's question was indeed a fatal one. Everyone in the group fell silent, especially Zhang Shouxu and others who were used to light skills. They were even more speechless.

Before, they had always relied on their own two legs to walk, even when traveling around the world. When they were ghosts, they relied on flying, and when they were in the human body, they relied on martial arts. They hardly ever thought about using any other means of transportation.
