Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

"Damn! Where did that hand come from?!"

Chen Yibai was immediately alarmed and inwardly cried out that something was wrong.

Looking down sharply, he saw a hand reaching out from the ruins, clutching his ankle. The flesh was rotten and oozing black pus, and maggots were crawling in the bone crevices exposed by the rotting flesh. It looked extremely disgusting.

This isn't a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling), it's a corpse that just died recently!

The maggots crawling in the crevices of the bones weren't ordinary maggots, but a kind of corpse worm.

These corpse worms carry highly corrosive bacteria and are extremely aggressive. They thrive on fresh flesh and blood, and once they burrow into the body through the skin, the body will immediately ooze pus and become rotten.

Fortunately, Chen Yibai was always on high alert, so his reaction speed was extremely fast. Before the corpse worms could crawl onto his feet, he instantly drew his crimson ancient sword and slashed at them, while simultaneously deflecting the blade outwards.

The rotten hand gripping his ankle was cleanly severed and then flung away.

But almost at the same time, a rotting corpse dressed in black rat clothing suddenly rushed out of the ruins in front of them.

The rotting corpse's face was peeling off in chunks, pus was oozing from its mouth, and maggots were crawling in its eyes and nostrils. It was gaping and lunging at Chen Yibai.

Depend on!

Chen Yibai was almost startled.

Judging from the rat-cloth-wearing body of this rotting corpse, it must have been a member of the Heavenly Path Society who died here.

As for why the corpse rose up so quickly, it must be related to the spider lily.

Legend has it that the fragrance of the red spider lily has a magical power that can awaken the memories of the deceased, and this is true!

In a sense, this kind of "awakening the deceased's memories" is equivalent to another form of "resurrection"!

However, this kind of 'resurrection' will not last long, because the corpse will be completely corroded and then completely annihilated.

As the rotting corpse lunged at him, Chen Yibai prepared to dodge.

At the same time, the commotion was noticed by Wu Daoshan and his men who were nearby.

Before Wu Daoshan could speak, his six subordinates, who were in a semi-encircling formation, coordinated perfectly and simultaneously threw their three-bladed scythes in this direction.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

The three-bladed scythes, thrown out like darts, were precisely aimed at the target. Chen Yibai quickly dodged, and all three scythes struck the rotting corpse next to him.

That's a god-tier assist!

"Master Wu, it's a hit!"

The blood mist was so thick that only human figures could be seen. The six people thought they had hit Chen Yibai, and they shouted excitedly. At the same time, they quickly pulled the steel cable connecting the three-bladed flying scythe towards them.

Was it really that easy to catch them?

Wu Daoshan frowned deeply, not relaxing at all, feeling that something was not right.

When the six men quickly pulled in the rope, they looked from a distance of more than a meter and found that they had pulled out their companion who had died and turned into a rotting corpse a few days earlier.

"Damn it, we were wrong! Scatter!"

As Wu Daoshan looked at the maggots wriggling on the face of the rotting corpse, the horrific scene he had witnessed a few days earlier flashed through his mind again. He suddenly let out a hysterical scream.

The other six were equally startled when they saw that what they had dragged over was a rotting corpse. They quickly scattered into a circle, keeping as far apart as possible. At the same time, they pulled hard against each other, and the entire body of the rotting corpse was instantly torn to pieces. The corpse worms inside the corpse were also torn apart along with the corpse, and then they flew everywhere like a shower of flowers.

Fortunately, the six people were relatively far apart. If the corpse worms had landed on them and burrowed into their skin, they would have certainly died if they hadn't dug them out in time.

Judging from their level of vigilance, they had clearly suffered from the corpse worms before.

"Oh shit!"

Wu Daoshan stared again at the blood mist before him, his angry eyes filled with murderous intent, his back teeth grinding together.

Which group of competitors came in with us?

The situation here was already quite troublesome, and now another plague god has suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

Moreover, he was a seemingly powerful plague god.

Wu Daoshan had spent his entire life in the tomb raiding world, and he knew all the top experts from both the northern and southern schools, but he really couldn't figure out who this colleague who had suddenly joined the fray was.

But whoever it is, we must find a way to deal with them now, otherwise they are definitely a ticking time bomb.

Thinking of this, Wu Daoshan seemed to suddenly remember something and abruptly turned his head to look around again.

"Hey! Where is he?"

I was so focused on dealing with this mysterious colleague that I completely forgot that there was one person missing from the team!

What about people?

You tore apart the Corpse King with your bare hands, wasn't that awesome?

Where did they run off to?

Could they have run away?

Looking at the thick blood mist around him, Wu Daoshan wanted to shout, but after thinking about it again, he held back to avoid revealing his location.

It was at this very moment that Wu Daoshan had a vague feeling that he had been tricked.

They promised to bring me here to seek the secret to immortality, but I've been trapped for eight whole days. Countless of my elite subordinates have died or been wounded, and I still haven't been able to enter that precious palace.

Now you've run into a fellow industry player who's just joining in the fun, and you've gone and disappeared again.

If you don't come out to help, I might have to consider leaving.

Although Wu Daoshan is old, the older he gets, the more he cherishes his life!

Let's turn our attention back to Chen Yibai.

The fact that the rotting corpse was dragged away by the three-bladed flying scythe has basically given Chen Yibai an understanding of their methods.

Although the throw is accurate, its destructive power should not be underestimated.

But for Chen Yibai, these were just ordinary, rudimentary skills, nothing special...

What Chen Yibai was looking for was not their Southern School's Heavenly Path Society.

It was that mysterious 'extraordinary person' in their Heavenly Path Society!

But from beginning to end, that 'extraordinary person' didn't seem to make a move.

"Could it be that you've turned into a coward again after seeing this captain?"

Chen Yibai narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of murderous intent hidden in his eerie smile, and took out the Vajra Umbrella again.

Now that we have a basic understanding of the opponent's methods, it's time to launch a counterattack and hunt them down!

Snapped!

Chen Yibai stomped his foot hard on the ruins, deliberately making a noise.

The sound of wooden sticks breaking on the ruins was especially loud in the deathly silence of the blood mist.

If nothing unexpected happens, the other party will definitely launch an attack after hearing the sound.

Once you determine its direction, you can circle around to get behind it...

However, to Chen Yibai's surprise, after he deliberately made a commotion, the surroundings remained quiet and still, and he did not receive the expected attack.

what's the situation?

Did they all chicken out?

"Shh..."

On Wu Daoshan's side, he was gesturing for his men to shush, signaling them to remain silent, switch from offense to defense, and observe the situation.

Wu Daoshan was cautious his whole life, and his advanced age of over eighty was not in vain.

Since someone in the team has suddenly disappeared, I'm not going to be the first to stick my neck out.

If we're going to hide, let's all hide. Let's just wait and see who can hold their temper the longest!
