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

This King Kang can actually speak?

"die……"

The last word "death" under the jade mask of the King Kang was drawn out, its sound as chaotic as thunder, carrying boundless power, echoing throughout the entire hall.

Even the surrounding rice dumplings trembled with fear and hid in a corner.

This imposing aura also startled Wu Daoshan, who was standing some distance away, so much so that his legs trembled and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Although Wu Daoshan had heard the voice of the King of Kang before, it was completely different.

This sound is something no human could possibly make.

Moreover, isn't "whoever desecrates my tomb shall die" a line usually spoken by the tomb owner?

"Could it be..."

Wu Daoshan's face suddenly turned even paler, and cold sweat poured down his forehead, running down his creases: "Could it be that Kang Yuanliang has been possessed by the tomb owner of this imperial mausoleum?"

At least in Wu Daoshan's understanding, this is the most likely possibility.

Wu Daoshan was afraid because he roughly knew Chen Yibai's current situation.

If Chen Yibai is killed, then I will definitely die as well!

As the word "kill" filled the entire hall, King Kang's tall body seemed to collapse like a mountain peak, leaping up and leaving a trail of afterimages in the air before crashing straight down towards Chen Yibai at incredible speed.

Chen Yibai gritted his teeth with a solemn expression. Given his current condition, he knew he would definitely not be able to withstand a direct confrontation.

King Kang has been waiting for this opportunity all along, from Qishan to now.

However, Chen Yibai wasn't stupid.

Since this was anticipated, preparations were made, and a backup plan was devised.

Just as King Kang charged forward, Chen Yibai pulled out a handful of beans from his pocket and hurled them all at King Kang.

These little beans are peppercorns! Just regular peppercorns!

However, few people know that pepper is extremely pungent and hot, a pure and yang substance, and can also counteract yin evil!

Although there are many things in the world that can suppress evil, pepper has a very distinctive characteristic: its spicy flavor is very strong.

Once pepper hits the evil spirit, its aroma will immediately spread, and the spicy and pungent taste of pepper can temporarily numb the zongzi (sticky rice dumpling).

This move is called "Scattering Beans to Form Soldiers," a life-saving technique recorded in "The Tomb Raider's Notes." Because it was not passed down to outsiders, it is considered relatively obscure, so very few people know about it.

Wow…

A handful of peppercorns were thrown directly at King Kang.

Because the peppercorns were small, some of them popped into the gaps in the crimson armor of the King of Kang, making a crackling sound, like beans being fried in a hot pan, emitting white smoke and a very pungent pepper smell.

"Ah!"

Wu Daoshan, who was far away, suddenly sneezed. The force of the sneeze was so great that blood was gushing out of his seven orifices. Fortunately, the maggots that had been wriggling in his nasal cavity were also expelled with the sneeze. They were as long as a fingernail and had a tail trailing behind them.

"Pepper flavor?"

Wu Daoshan rubbed his nose: "What kind of trick is Lieutenant Chen using? Is he trying to add more salt and chili powder, and stir-fry the meat dumplings?"

"Ahei! Ahei! Ahei!"

The aroma produced by these peppercorns sprinkled on Kang Wang was more than just pungent.

It was as if the flavor had been fermented infinitely, rushing straight to the top of one's head.

Wu Daoshan was caught off guard by the sudden sniff and began sneezing uncontrollably.

This terrified Wu Daoshan. Because his brain nerves were injured, every sneeze caused blood to gush from his seven orifices. If this continued, he felt that his brain matter would be shaken out.

Meanwhile, let's look at what happened on King Kang's side.

Although peppercorns are considered to be of the highest yang and purest quality, they are still just ordinary substances. For a giant meat dumpling like King Kang, who has lived for three thousand years, they are like scraping a wound, and cannot cause much harm.

However, the pungent smell had a special effect, causing both King Kang and Wu Daoshan to sneeze suddenly. At the same time, their bodies swayed as they rushed forward, almost losing their balance and crashing headfirst into the bluestone floor tiles.

Can zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) sneeze?

Wu Daoshan was stunned.

I've been digging tombs my whole life, and I never knew you could do it like this!

I learned another trick! I learned another trick!

But Zongzi's sneezing is different from Wu Daoshan's sneezing.

The sneezing sound of the King of Kang came entirely from his nasal cavity, sounding like the roar of a wild beast, and much louder than that of Wu Daoshan.

Even the sound of King Kang's sneeze shattered the jade mask on his face, as if a layer of skin had been peeled off and fell to the ground with a crash.

Wu Daoshan had always been curious about the true appearance of this 'Kang Yuanliang', so he immediately took out his wolf-eye flashlight and shone it directly on the face of the Prince of Kang.

When Wu Daoshan saw the true face beneath the jade mask of the King of Kang, his hand holding the wolf-eye flashlight trembled, his anus tightened, and he almost peed his pants in fright.

The King of Kang's face looked as if his skin had been peeled off, his flesh was covered in blood and gore, and his eyes were hanging in their sockets, looking sinister, terrifying and extremely frightening!

This is hardly a living human face.

This is the flesh and blood of the 'newborn' spirit that King Kang possessed when he seized Zhulong's body, but unfortunately, it is only half of the 'newborn' spirit at present.

"Is this even human?"

Wu Daoshan had considered that this 'Kang Yuanliang' might be ugly, otherwise he wouldn't have worn a jade mask covering a dead person's face, but he never expected it to be so terrifying!

But now is not the time to think about that.

Wu Daoshan shone the wolf-eye flashlight at Chen Yibai again, but the man had already disappeared!

"Captain Chen!"

Upon seeing that Chen Yibai had disappeared, Wu Daoshan panicked and quickly looked towards the stairwell to the east, where he saw Chen Yibai's back as he rapidly climbed upwards.

"Captain Chen, don't forget me..."

Wu Daoshan panicked even more now. "You took my seal of the tomb raiders, you can't just abandon me like this!"

What happened to the tomb raiders being known as the most loyal and righteous people in the industry?

Before the shout had even finished, Wu Daoshan clearly felt that the King of Kang, with his face peeled off and his eyes drooping, stared at him.

In an instant, under the gaze of the King of Kang, Wu Daoshan felt as if he had been dragged into an endless abyss of hell, and had been led to death.

Unexpectedly, Prince Kang merely glanced coldly at Wu Daoshan, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes, before quickly turning around and chasing after Chen Yibai.

As far as the Prince of Kang was concerned, Wu Daoshan's life was not worth wasting even a second of his time on.

When Wu Daoshan saw the contempt in the eyes of the Prince of Kang, he probably guessed that his life was too worthless, so much so that the Prince of Kang was too lazy to even bother with it.

Although I felt a bit insulted, it was the first time I felt like I wanted to thank them even after being insulted.
