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

Yan Xuefei quickly took out her wolf-eye flashlight and shone it around.

Just now, after the Nine Dragons Golden Coffin exploded, a large number of gold, silver and jade burial objects inside the coffin were blown out and scattered in the main hall. Some bronze vessels were also blown into countless small fragments, which were scattered all over the ground.

If what Chen Yibai said is true, all the metals are infected with a plague, and there is almost nowhere to step.

Yan Xuefei was still shaken by the experience, but thankfully Chen Yibai had called out to her at the crucial moment.

If that step had landed on those metal fragments, I'd probably be lying on the ground, wailing and screaming, just like those foreign mercenaries.

But the question is, what do we do now?

This location is more than ten meters away from the bottom of the stairs, and the surrounding area is littered with countless gold, jade, and bronze fragments, making it impossible to pass.

Yan Xuefei quickly looked at Chen Yibai and asked loudly, "Captain Chen, what should we do now?"

Chen Yibai was also trying hard to think about this issue.

However, just in case, Chen Yibai shouted loudly to Yan Xuefei, "Stand still and don't move. Throw away all your jewelry and anything with metal on you!"

This is important because any exposed metal parts on your body could become a deadly time bomb here at any moment.

Therefore, this threat must be eliminated first.

As he spoke, Chen Yibai quickly took off his backpack and his coat, leaving him in only a T-shirt.

Luckily, I wore elastic pants this time, otherwise I would have had to take them off.

As for the Vajra Umbrella and the seven bronze corpse-suppressing nails, Chen Yibai did not throw them away. Instead, he carefully wrapped the corpse-suppressing nails tightly in a piece of cloth, thinking that they might be of great use in the future!

Although the handle of the Vajra Umbrella is made of iron, the canopy is made of the scales of the Fire Serpent King, so there shouldn't be a big problem.

Looking at Yan Xuefei's side, after Chen Yibai's reminder, she quickly threw away the wolf-eye flashlight in her hand and nimbly removed the ring on her hand and the necklace and jewelry on her body. Although these were all valuable, no matter how valuable they were, they were not as valuable as her life!

There was also a jacket with a metal zipper, along with all the metal-related equipment on the body.

As for the pants with metal zippers...

Yan Xuefei frowned, hesitating for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and decided to take it off. After all, she was wearing a pair of opaque black stockings underneath, which, although a little indecent, wouldn't expose her...

"Have you thrown everything away? Remember, you absolutely cannot leave anything with metal on you!"

Chen Yibai watched Yan Xuefei hurriedly 'removing her makeup' and gave her a special, solemn reminder.

Yan Xuefei confirmed it several times before nodding and replying, "Okay..."

She had only said half of the word "good" when Yan Xuefei seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately swallowed the rest of her words, her brows furrowing deeply.

Chen Yibai could clearly tell from Yan Xuefei's tone and expression that she was still 'hiding' something. He thought she had something important on her that she was reluctant to throw away, so he solemnly reminded her, "Is there anything else you haven't thrown away? Don't blame me for not warning you beforehand. This plague is no small matter. If any metal object on your body comes into contact with it, you will definitely die..."

Chen Yibai originally wanted to say more, but then he thought, since he had already given such a reminder, whether you listen or not is your own business. After all, it's your life, not mine...

After speaking, Chen Yibai ignored Yan Xuefei and turned to look at the Lonely Ancestor at the top.

The Old Ancestor Guchen remained floating and standing on the coffin from beginning to end, without moving an inch.

However, at this moment, the expression on the face of the Lonely Ancestor underwent a subtle change, showing surprise and anger.

Surprisingly, Chen Yibai actually knew about 'Sword Plague'.

As for the anger, it must be because the trick was exposed!

When Chen Yibai looked at the Old Ancestor Guchen, the Old Ancestor Guchen was also staring at Chen Yibai with his fierce and ruthless eyes, and said angrily in a gloomy tone: "A mere mortal dares to disturb my cultivation, he is simply courting death!"

Five minutes ago, Chen Yibai might have been terrified upon hearing Gu Chen Lao Zu's words.

But at this moment, when Chen Yibai heard the fierce threat from the Old Ancestor Guchen, his heart remained calm without the slightest ripple.

It wasn't because they saw through the tricks of the Lonely Ancestor.

It's not that I've heard these words so many times that I've become numb to them.

Instead, Chen Yibai discovered a very serious problem: apart from spreading the sword plague in the main hall, the Old Ancestor Guchen was constantly spouting nonsense, while his body remained floating and standing motionless on the coffin.

So Chen Yibai boldly guessed in his heart that this Old Ancestor Guchen might not be able to move at all, and that he was just talking big the whole time.

Is the purpose to scare oneself into losing one's composure?

The more Chen Yibai thought about it, the more likely it seemed, because it wouldn't be easy for the Old Ancestor Guchen to completely seize control of the body of the tomb's owner using only a wisp of his essence and soul left in the mortal realm.

Moreover, this old man has said more than once that he was "disturbing his cultivation," which means he himself has revealed that his cultivation is not yet at a sufficient level.

In truth, the sword plague that Elder Guchen spread in the main hall, coupled with his tone, was indeed very lethal.

If it weren't for those foreign mercenaries becoming cannon fodder, and Chen Yibai discovering the secret in advance and stopping them in time, he might have already died a miserable death.

In addition, there were the thirty-six Heavenly Generals. If Yan Xuefei hadn't appeared with the Earth Token, and if the thirty-six Heavenly Generals had continued to be controlled by the Old Ancestor Gu Chen, they would have undoubtedly died under these circumstances.

Rumble…

Just as Chen Yibai was thinking about those Heavenly Generals, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the collapsed ruins not far away.

Chen Yibai initially thought it was the Prince of Kang who had gotten up, but when he turned his head, he saw that it was actually those Heavenly Generals who had just been blasted away.

As dozens of Heavenly Generals slowly rose from the ground, their originally dark bodies and the weapons they gripped tightly were now covered in a layer of green rust.

Chen Yibai was overjoyed. Clearly, these Heavenly Generals were immune to the plague because they were zombies, and specifically, zombies made of metal and stone.

Not only is their body immune to the plague virus, but they also carry the plague virus with them!

This is where the chance to turn the tables has come!

Chen Yibai quickly turned to look at Yan Xuefei, then shouted, "Earth Executioner..."

At the same time, as Chen Yibai turned his head, he saw Yan Xuefei throw something out.

Without a doubt, this must be something Yan Xuefei hesitated to throw away.

So Chen Yibai was also very curious about what it was that made Yan Xuefei so hesitant and reluctant to leave, and then he turned his head to take a closer look.
