at the same time.

The archaeological team stood on the shore waiting for Qin An.

They all looked a little anxious.

"This...this...why hasn't Brother Qin An come up yet?" Zhang Sitian said with a stuttering tone and some concern.

"Yes! Sister Liuli! Brother Qin An has been downstairs for five minutes!" Yang Lele clenched her fists, her eyes red with anxiety.

"Lele, don't worry! Qin An will be fine!"

Jiang Liuli hugged Yang Lele and comforted her.

But her left hand was clenched tightly.

The fingers are a little white.

[Oh my god! Could Lao An be trapped in this river? He's been down there for so long, why is there no reaction at all?]

[Yes! The riverbed is so deep! The pressure alone wouldn't be bearable for an ordinary person, right? Why don't you come up, Brother Qin An?]

[Don't worry, brothers! Lao An will come up sooner or later! We have to trust him!]

[The above commenter is right! It's either swimming up or floating up, right?]

[Could it be because of Qin An's knife? That knife is so heavy! Maybe Qin An slipped when he reached the bottom of the river, and his knife happened to press on him, and with the pressure of the river water, he couldn't get up!]

[Wow! The analysis above makes sense!]

How is that possible?! Qin An is so strong! How could he be pinned down by a mere knife? I think his feet might have gotten tangled in the weeds!

[Wait three more minutes! If you don't come up in three minutes, we'll start eating right away!]

Netizens in the live broadcast room were talking about it.

Everyone is wondering whether Qin An sent the letter or not and whether the banquet should be held?

......

the other side.

The special forces who helped Qi Min get rid of the bone-eating worms on his back finally completed their mission. They saw the ground was covered with the corpses of bone-eating worms curled up in a ball!

Qi Min's back was covered in blood!

The burns were extremely severe in some places!

You can even see the flesh and blood inside!

And if you look closely at Qi Min's back, you will find that his back is covered with dense black spots. These are the holes left by the bone-eating worms!

This situation is really tragic!

Fortunately, Qi Min couldn't bear the pain and fainted early.

Otherwise, your voice will become hoarse!

When Professor Yang and Professor Zhao saw this, they were heartbroken, as if their own son had been burned.

The two men hurriedly took out burn medicine from their backpacks and helped Qi Min apply it on his back. Then they took out burn antibiotics from their backpacks and fed them to him.

The care was meticulous.

Two old professors came to take care of Qi Min.

The special forces also scattered and guarded the surroundings.

"What's going on? Brother Qin An hasn't come up yet?" Gu Yang walked to the crowd on the shore and asked with a worried look.

"Oh no! Did Brother Qin An take the knife away too?"

Hawkeye saw that Zhang Sitian was holding Qin An's clothes in her arms, but she didn't see the black gold ancient sword, and her tone was a little anxious.

"Well, Brother Qin An did take the knife with him."

Hear the words.

Gu Yang's face darkened.

He was also someone who had held the ancient black gold sword, so he naturally knew how heavy that sword was!

And the blade area is very small!

The buoyancy in water is negligible compared to its own weight!

"Oh no! This young man Qin An might have slipped on the quicksand at the bottom of the river! And the knife just happened to be pressing on him, and he can't get up for a while!" Professor Jiang said anxiously.

This is also the most reasonable guess at present.

"I'll go down and take a look!"

Just as Gu Yang took off the assault rifle.

Just when I was about to take off my clothes and shoes.

All I heard was the sound of splashing water on the water!

Qin An's handsome face quietly emerged from the water.

"Qin An!"

"Brother Qin An!"

Everyone in the archaeological team shouted Qin An's name.

Yang Lele was so happy that she cried.

See this.

Qin An suddenly felt like a husband who came home very late after hunting, and the archaeological team was anxiously waiting for his wife.

Ok?

It seems like there is something wrong with the metaphor?

never mind!

Anyway, the meaning is pretty much the same!

Qin An slowly swam to the underground river and put down what he was holding.

Everyone saw that Qin An was fine.

So he turned his attention to what Qin An brought.

"Brother Qin An! Why did you bring these bones back?" Yang Lele tilted his head and asked in confusion.

"This may be the key to leaving here." Qin An said lightly.

Then he pieced together the bones that were on the ground one by one.

See this.

Professor Jiang's expression darkened as he asked, "Is this the skeleton of some kind of snake?"

But not until Qin An put all the bones together.

Professor Jiang overturned his own guess again, "No... This is not a snake skeleton."

Because Professor Jiang suddenly discovered!

This thing looks like it's made of snake bones, and it actually has a protruding bone on its head, similar to a cockscomb!

And he has been doing archaeology for so many years!

Never seen a snake with a comb bone on its skull!

Hawkeye hadn't read many books.

His truth is only one: if you don’t understand, ask.

So Hawkeye asked, "Brother Qin An! What kind of animal's skeleton is this?"

"This is the bone of a pheasant's neck!" Qin An said lightly.

Pheasant neck?

Everyone was a little confused.

Could this bone be the neck of a pheasant?

Seeing everyone's confusion, Qin An slowly said, "Pheasant necks are extremely venomous snakes! Their young lurk at the bottom of the mud, and when someone passes by, they bite the person's skin with their teeth and then slowly burrow in!"

"That's because they must suck human blood to survive! But once they grow larger and their toxicity increases, they'll poison their host to death! Then they'll crawl out of the human's orifices. By then, the pheasant's neck will have been soaked in blood! That's why they're usually blood red!"

[Holy crap! How could this be another filthy thing that can parasitize the human body?]

[Pheasant Neck... Just hearing the name of this snake makes me feel like it's extremely poisonous!]

[This is terrifying! It lives inside the human body! When it grows bigger and becomes more toxic, it poisons the person to death before burrowing out! What a vicious creature!]

[I can't even imagine...if Lao An and the others ran into this, they would be in real trouble!]

"But how did such a powerful creature die? Did it starve to death because there was no food in the river?"

【Probably! 】

"That's not right! Since it was Prince Qi who arranged this place, he must have thought of this!"

There was a lot of discussion in the live broadcast room.

......

Inside the cave.

The archaeological team members were also horrified after hearing Qin An’s explanation!

Another creature that parasitizes humans!

Why does it feel like this underground river is more dangerous than the six-winged centipede in the underground palace?

After all, there are things in here that can paralyze the human body!

It's simply impossible to guard against!

"Brother Qin An...are there still pheasant necks and their cubs in this underground river?" Professor Jiang said after swallowing.

A huge number of poisonous snakes!

It can also swim underwater and launch sneak attacks!

If they were to face each other...

I'm afraid even Qin An would find it difficult to protect the archaeological team?

Hear the words.

Qin An shook his head.

"Look at the bones in this pheasant's neck."

Everyone looked down when they heard the sound.

I saw that the bones in the pheasant's neck were empty!

Professor Jiang felt like he was holding a piece of paper in his hand!

And there are dense bite marks on it!

It seems that some tiny creature has drilled into the bone!

Eat the bone marrow inside.

marrow!

Everyone suddenly remembered the bone-eating worm!

Could it be that bone-eating insects killed these pheasant necks?

The more I think about it, the more likely it is!

"Brother Qin An! Could it be that this underground river was originally home to pheasant necks, but later encountered bone-eating insects? Did these bone-eating insects burrow into the bones of the pheasant necks, control them to kill each other, and finally suck out all their bone marrow?"

Professor Jiang said in disbelief.

"That's right." Qin An nodded.

What is this?

Are parasitic organisms eaten by parasites?

You are putting nesting dolls here!

Everyone in the archaeological team had an expression of shock on their faces.

The creatures in King Qi’s tomb are too weird!

And now they don't even know whether they should thank these bone-eating insects.

after all.

If they were to face the pheasant's neck!

The outcome is likely to be total annihilation!

Even Qin An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It’s all thanks to these bone-eating insects that ate the pheasant’s neck!

Otherwise, it would be really disastrous for the archaeological team if they encountered the latter!

Qin An pondered.

Maybe even the Earth Qilin bloodline in his body couldn't scare off these pheasant necks.

Just when Qin An wanted to continue explaining things to everyone.

Suddenly, a crisp electronic sound rang in my mind.

[Ding! You completed a science lesson on bone-eating insect tomb raiding, and the live broadcast room has 327 viewers. You received a gold-level treasure chest!]

[Ding! You completed a Pheasant Neck Tomb Raider science lesson, and the livestream has 328 viewers. You received a Silver-level treasure chest!]

Ok?

Silver treasure chest?

"What a jerk! The number of viewers has clearly increased by 1! How come the treasure chest has become silver-level?" Qin An said unconvinced.

[Ding! Because the host only found the fossilized bones of a pheasant's neck! Netizens didn't get to see a live pheasant's neck! So, the reward has been reduced by 1 level!]

"Okay!" Qin An thought for a moment.

What the dog system said does make sense.

'Open the treasure chest!'

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1887 science points]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 5 attribute points]

[Congratulations to the host for winning 10 yuan in cash]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the five strands of dark energy]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Hundred Weapons and Thousand Training Techniques]

Qin An looked at the six rewards in his mind.

Don't think about it.

The first three rewards must be opened from silver treasure chests.

Not of much value.

"Tongzi! What's the use of these five strands of dark energy and the practice of a hundred weapons and a thousand exercises?" Qin An asked.

[Ding! The five strands of Dark Energy are the innate strength of the Grandmaster Ancient Warrior. After merging with the host, they can nurture these five strands of Dark Energy in their Dantian. When the host fights, they can use the Black Gold Ancient Sword to release these five strands of Dark Energy, causing five times the damage!]

[Ding! Hundreds of Weapons, Thousands of Practices is a weapon manual. After the host fuses with it, any weapon they touch can be mastered instantly, easily reaching Grandmaster level!]

I'm super!

Two good things!

Qin An hehe.

Five strands of dark energy can instantly deal five times the damage!

Hundreds of weapons and thousands of practices can make you master weapons instantly!

It really is worthy of being a system product!

Must be a boutique!

Qin An estimated that he would complete the entire tour of King Qi's tomb.

He will be invincible!

By then, what tomb will not be in his control?

"Tongzi! Combine the Five Strands of Dark Energy and the Hundred Weapons and Thousand Trainings!" Qin An ordered in his mind.

After a while.

An electronic sound came from the system indicating that the fusion was complete.

Qin An slowly closed his eyes.

He discovered that there were indeed five strands of hidden energy lying in his dantian!

Clench your fists.

Qin An thought that if he met the six-winged centipede again.

Just one knife!

It can cut the opponent in half in an instant!

After the mind exits the system.

Qin An felt that he seemed to like Qi Min a lot more.

After all, this guy used half of his life to attract the bone-eating worms.

"Brother Qin An... since there is no danger in this underground river, let's quickly head upstream! Let's try to reach King Qi's main tomb as soon as possible!" Professor Jiang stood up.
