Entertainment Secrets: Playing the role of Qilin, Mimi loves it so much

Chapter 237 Immortality, the pursuit of eternal life

Meng Ziyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, since you insist on doing this, then help her. I'll go in first, and you guys stay outside."

Ye Bai nodded.

Meng Ziyi held the dagger and walked towards the tomb carefully. Yang Mi grabbed Ye Bai's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ye, is he really okay?"

Ye Bai patted her head, as a gesture of reassurance.

After Meng Ziyi went in, Yang Mi became even more nervous.

Ye Bai said, "Stay here and don't move. Don't touch anything else. I'll go in and take a look first."

After he finished speaking, he walked into the tomb.

As soon as he entered the door, a gust of cold wind blew in his face. Ye Bai dodged it and picked up the torch beside him to shine in front of him. Only then did he realize that the tomb was connected in all directions and there were seven or eight forks in the road!

He couldn't help but sigh, this tomb is really complicated!

Ye Bai looked around. The furniture in the tomb was intact, except for some funerary objects. The most eye-catching thing was the coffin. He walked closer and found that the coffin lid had been pried off.

Ye Bai scanned with a flashlight and saw that the coffin was empty.

He sighed, thinking that his guess was right, and turned to walk in another direction.

Not long after, Meng Ziyi walked out from inside, looking a little embarrassed, but he was holding a roll of sheepskin in his hand.

Ye Bai quickly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Have you found the exit?"

Meng Ziyi shook his head and said distressedly: "No, this tomb is too huge, there is no way to find it. I suspect there is more than one exit."

Yang Mi said anxiously, "How is that possible! We saw it clearly when we came in just now. There is no side road or secret door. It is right here."

"The tomb is huge, and each cave is different," Meng Ziyi said.

Yang Mi muttered: "How can there be such a weird place..."

Meng Ziyi said: "There are some things in this world that are so magical that you dare not even imagine them."

He picked up the ancient book and flipped through it. Although he was young, he was already well-educated. He quickly found the epitaph and read it to Ye Bai. Ye Bai glanced at it casually and found it was exactly the same as Meng Ziyi had described.

He closed the ancient book and said, "Looks like we need to go to the main tomb."

Yang Mi asked in surprise: "Is there a treasure there?"

Ye Bai said, "The contents of this ancient book are similar to those in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Why would Qin Shi Huang build a mausoleum here? Perhaps it was to seek the elixir of immortality. I suspect this mausoleum is the Hall of Eternal Life."

Meng Ziyi looked at him with admiration: "You are quite smart. You knew that the elixir of immortality must be hidden in Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum. I just didn't expect it to be so hidden."

Yang Mi said: "So what should we do now?"

Ye Bai said: "I will take you out of here, and you will be responsible for contacting your companions outside."

Yang Mi hesitated: "What about Brother Ye?"

"I'm going to the main tomb."

Meng Ziyi snorted, "You're crazy! The main tomb must be full of dangers. I advise you not to try to be a hero, but just go back outside and wait."

Yang Mi also advised: "Yes, Brother Ye, this place is too weird, I'm scared, please come with me!"

Ye Bai said, "You two stay here and don't move. I'll go to the main tomb alone."

He was firm in his attitude and there was no room for negotiation.

The two men couldn't persuade him, so they had to give up.

Ye Bai walked forward with his sword.

The tomb was surprisingly spacious, filled with boxes, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, as well as gold, silver and jewelry, showing extreme luxury. The walls were hung with murals depicting the lifelike face of a young woman.

Ye Bai walked to the corner and picked up a jade pendant.

The jade pendant was exquisitely carved and made of fine jade, making it very valuable. He accepted it and continued searching elsewhere.

He walked around a vase and suddenly heard the sound of dripping water, like the sound of a spring. He looked towards the source of the sound and was stunned.

The spring was surprisingly three meters away from him, emitting gurgling white smoke. At the bottom of the spring was a deep pool, in the center of which stood a green vine. On the vine, two crystal-clear green fruits grew, emitting an alluring fragrance.

Ye Bai swallowed hard and couldn't help but walk closer. He squatted down and reached out to touch the emerald green fruit. It was cool and soft to the touch, like solidified jade, making him irresistible.

He looked around and saw many pottery figurines and puppets hanging on the walls. Ye Bai observed carefully and found that these puppets were very lifelike, with men and women, young and old, and they were lifelike, just like real people.

He had an idea and reached out to pick up a puppet, pinched its nose and twisted it hard.

Click, click.

The puppet's lips trembled and it let out a strange groan.

At the same time, a black shadow approached silently and suddenly attacked Ye Bai's neck.

Ye Bai reacted extremely quickly, dodging sideways. However, the man moved swiftly and nimbly, reaching him in the blink of an eye and striking fiercely with his palm.

Ye Bai dodged sideways and punched the opponent on the shoulder.

The other man groaned, clutching his injured arm and retreating. Ye Bai chased after him and was about to finish him off when he heard Yang Mi yell, "Brother Ye! Watch your step!"

Ye Bai quickly withdrew his hand. Looking down, he saw a crack suddenly appear in the floor, and a blood-red claw poked out from underneath. His face paled with fear, and he quickly rolled to the side, barely avoiding the blood-red claw. The claw landed on the ground, sending ripples through it.

Cold sweat oozed from Ye Bai's forehead. After he steadied himself, he noticed a sharp tooth exposed where the claw had been, with thick, sticky blood flowing between the teeth.

The blood was dark red and had a pungent, fishy smell that was unpleasant to the nose.

Ye Bai looked at the place where the blood claw disappeared, his heart pounding. Fortunately, he had escaped the disaster just now, otherwise he would have become the food of the blood claw!

What exactly is that thing and why did it end up in the tomb?

Meng Ziyi and Yang Mi also saw this scene, and they were both in shock.

Yang Mi asked in a trembling voice: "What was that just now?"

Ye Bai said in a deep voice: "That blood claw is most likely a zombie!"

Zombies? Meng Ziyi frowned: "Zombies? Wouldn't that be scarier than ghosts?"

Yang Mi flinched and pulled Meng Ziyi back. Ye Bai said, "Don't be afraid. It shouldn't kill anyone."

"But what if we get caught?"

Ye Bai said, "Don't worry, since it can't attack anyone, it will run away on its own."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rustling sound. The bloody claw reappeared, staring at Ye Bai, a hoarse and piercing growl emanating from its throat, and pounced on him with its fangs and claws bared.

Ye Bai swung his sword and chopped off half of its head. Blood splattered all over Ye Bai's face.

The blood claw's torso swayed twice, then fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then became motionless.

Ye Bai wiped the blood with his sleeve and walked towards the zombie. He looked down at the zombie and found that its head was completely rotten, and the flesh inside had turned into pus, which was sticky and disgusting.
