Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

"That's the Queen Mother of the West's alchemy furnace. Do you think that the Corpse Beetle Pill is like the medicine in a pharmacy, where you just boil it and roll it into pills?"

As Ji Haobo spoke, he picked up a corpse beetle pill from the jade plate, ignoring the door that crashed down.

"This elixir was made by the Queen Mother of the West using the earth's vein dragon energy as fuel, refining the essence of meteorite copper to encapsulate the Corpse Beetle King, suppressing its activity so that it could coexist with humans."

However, this method probably didn't succeed, or rather, it succeeded but was severely limited; otherwise, the Queen Mother of the West would have already jumped out.

After hearing this, everyone was amazed and curiously looked at the sphere of light in the dome, unable to imagine how the Queen Mother of the West had come up with such a method of alchemy.

Ji Haobo then jumped up, curious about what the alchemy furnace was like after all these years.

When he appeared on the dome, he discovered that the so-called alchemy furnace was actually a hollowed-out Tai Chi sphere.

On it, the yin and yang poles, like jade plates, held some corpse beetle pills, which flowed back and forth between the yin and yang poles under the propulsion of the dragon energy.

Moreover, this flow of Yin and Yang also transformed the dragon energy into a strange energy that enveloped the Corpse Beetle Pill like flames.

Perhaps because too much time had passed, the Corpse Beetle Pills, shrouded in flames, were different from those below; each one shone with golden light, like a golden egg.

Ji Haobo raised an eyebrow, casually picked up one to examine it, but he did not sense the aura of the Corpse Beetle King inside.

He didn't believe it could grant immortality, though he guessed it might extend lifespan.

So he collected them all without hesitation, a total of forty-nine.

He also kept the alchemy furnace that could draw dragon energy, and his card-drawing points increased by another 500,000.

"Master Bo, are there any treasures up there?"

Erpang curiously stepped forward to ask, and Qiu Dehao immediately pricked up his ears to listen.

"Of course there is! That alchemy furnace is a novel contraption, like a hollowed-out sphere that can rotate on its own under the influence of dragon energy."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately lost interest, and Qiu Dehao was especially disappointed. They never expected that Ji Haobo would hide something.

"Then, Master Bo, quickly break down the door. Let's go to the other side and see if we can find the treasure of the Queen Mother of the West?"

"Alright, there's nothing left here anyway, let's go check out the other side."

Ji Haobo nodded, although he knew there were also hidden passages underground here;

But it's not like we can't break down the door. Why bother drilling a hole when there's a main road?

Once they decided to leave, Zhang Menzi immediately volunteered to step forward, drew his sword, and slashed at the heavy stone door.

"Pfft..."

A crisp, satisfying sound rang out as the thick stone door was cleaved open, and several large stones crashed to the ground with a loud rumble.

"Holy crap, this knife is incredibly sharp!"

Erpang, who had almost been hit by a rock, jumped up with a strange cry and muttered to himself with wide eyes:

"No wonder Master Bo said he could cut through iron like mud. It turns out that wasn't an adjective, but just a statement!"

"That's a must. When Master Bo gets involved, is anything simple?"

Fatty Wang chuckled beside him, patted him on the shoulder, and then proudly brandished his knife.

Not to mention Erpang's envy, even the man with black glasses next to him was drooling over the knife in Zhang Menzi's hand.

"I'm leaving now. When I get back, I'll give you a knife as a souvenir."

Ji Haobo took the lead and walked ahead, while Erpang excitedly chased after him.

"Brother Bo, are you serious? You're really going to give me a knife?"

"Damn, it's just a nail clipper. Why would I lie to you?"

"puff"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, and Fatty Wang even laughed until tears streamed down his face.

"Erpang, the world's sharpest nail clippers, you deserve to have them, wahahaha..."

As you walk along the passage, the dark underground space reveals all the buildings to be rugged and spacious.

After wandering around for a while, the group discovered an area where people could live and stay.

However, the inside looked like it had been ransacked; no decorations or ornaments were found, let alone gold or silver items.

"Damn... what's going on? Did someone beat us to it?"

Disappointed, Erpang looked around and found nothing of value, which made him extremely angry.

But Fatty Wang and Lao Hu exchanged glances. They were familiar with the situation; wasn't it just like this in the ancient city of Jingjue?

Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West must have collected all the good things and put them together.

Then the group discovered a chilling area, and based on the remaining traces, they guessed that this should be the experimental area.

Because they saw some strangely shaped remains, and mummies with replaced limbs.

More often, there were dismembered snake people and lizard people, their remains packed in bottles and jars.

In addition, the group discovered a place filled with pottery jars.

Ji Haobo casually smashed one of them, revealing a small, withered skeleton inside.

What's even more chilling is that the skull has many wormholes.

"hiss…"

Everyone gasped in shock. Wu Xie, his face pale and trembling, asked:

"Brother Bo, is this the thing you mentioned that cultivates the Corpse Beetle King?"

"What? The Corpse Beetle King?"

Upon hearing this, Erpang and the others gasped in horror, almost jumping up in shock.

"That's it, but these should all be failed samples; the Corpse Beetle King isn't in there anymore."

Ji Haobo sighed and nodded, then turned and walked forward.

After much wandering, the group finally found the core of the underground space: a tightly closed palace gate.

As Zhang Menzi fiddled with the mechanism on the door for a while, the tightly closed stone door slowly opened, and a gust of steam rushed out.

Ji Haobo raised an eyebrow, stepped onto the imperial path and entered. After passing through the empty front hall, he was greeted by a "Heavenly Pool" surrounded by waterways, the scene inside of which was somewhat eerie.

In the "Heavenly Pool," mist rose and condensed without dissipating. Something resembling blood vessels clung to a white jade coffin in the center, covering the entire Heavenly Pool and waterway.

What's truly chilling is that those things were still wriggling.

Especially when pheasants swim by with their necks in the waterway, they are sucked clean in the blink of an eye, leaving not even a trace of bone.

"Gudong..."

Everyone swallowed nervously, quickly taking two steps back, afraid that if that thing hit them, they would be dead.

"Brother Bo, what the hell is this? It's terrifying!"

"Damn...how was I supposed to know!"

Ji Haobo rolled his eyes and threw out a sentence at everyone.

"You all wait here, I'll go take a look and open the coffin while I'm at it."

As he spoke, he walked over, waved his hand, and a surge of qi and blood like flames erupted, instantly causing the mist to disappear into the jade coffin;

Only those disgusting things wither away in an instant, turning into ashes and scattering.

But the next moment, that thing started spreading out of the coffin again, like countless blood leeches wriggling, making people's skin crawl.
