Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.
Chapter 18 The Tomb Raiders Make Their Move
According to archaeological research, the practice of burying living people with the dead first appeared during the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Besides human sacrifice, even sacrificial rituals used living people, and the methods were even more cruel. Boiling people in bronze vessels was common, which is outrageous.
During the slave society of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, the cheapest life was worth less than a straw rope.
This is why there are so many child sacrificial corpses in this tomb.
Woohoo...
woo woo woo...
Hundreds of child sacrificial corpses, a dark mass, held hands and once again let out heart-wrenching cries. The sound echoed in the cave, sending chills down one's spine and piercing one's heart.
These are the cries of these children when they were used as sacrificial offerings and subjected to cruel torture.
"Captain Yan, what... do we do now?"
Xiao Hu's palms were sweating as he gripped the Type 95 rifle.
At this moment, the special operations team formed a circle, protecting the archaeological experts in the middle.
Protecting archaeological experts is the mission of the special operations team, no matter what dangers they may face.
Although the child sacrificial corpses in front of them did not rush forward out of fear of the tomb raiding talisman, judging from the sinister expressions on their faces, they did not seem to have any intention of leaving.
This stalemate is definitely not a good thing.
Yan Wanlei was also on edge, unsure of what to do.
If we just rush in headfirst, we definitely won't have enough ammunition.
Most importantly, of all the people, only Yan Wanlei was not wearing a tomb raiding talisman.
This "treasure-hunting talisman" is now known as a "life-saving talisman".
Yan Wanlei wasn't stupid. If the team got scattered in a rush, and he didn't wear the Tomb Raider Talisman, wouldn't he become the sole target of this group of child sacrificial corpses?
So Yan Wanlei subconsciously looked at Chen Yibai again.
"Hey girl, can we let go of each other's hands first?"
Chen Yibai grinned dryly and whispered in Yang Qingyun's ear.
Startled, Yang Qingyun realized she had lost her composure and quickly let go. Recalling the 'intimate contact' just now, she blushed and felt hot with embarrassment.
"Mr. Chen, is there anything else we can do now?"
Wang Haichuan quickly asked a question.
Throughout the entire process, Chen Yibai maintained a calm and composed expression, appearing as if he had a plan in mind.
But Chen Yibai simply shook his head: "I didn't bring my equipment, and I don't have any good solutions..."
"what?"
Wang Haichuan's brows furrowed instantly: "Mr. Chen, why didn't you bring your equipment?"
Doesn't what you're saying sound like pure nonsense?
Chen Yibai grinned, thinking to himself, "I'd like to too, but when I was reborn, I only brought a soul with me, which disgusts me!"
In his previous life, Chen Yibai had a lot of equipment for warding off evil spirits. He could easily kill all these child sacrificial corpses and little zombies by simply setting up a small exorcism formation.
Unfortunately, he couldn't bring anything with him; he had to find a bronze sword at an antique market.
But it's pointless to say all this now.
A powerful soul combined with a bronze sword is more than enough to handle this small situation without any unexpected problems!
A sharp killing intent flashed in Chen Yibai's eyes: "If there's no better way to deal with it, then let's just confront it head-on!"
"Don't move, I'll do it myself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, under the wide-eyed gaze of everyone present...
Chen Yibai, holding a bronze sword, rushed towards the dark mass of child sacrificial corpses.
The tomb raiders have made their move!
Seeing Chen Yibai utter a hard-hitting remark and charge forward alone with his bronze sword, Yan Wanlei's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in astonishment.
Yan Wanlei thought Chen Yibai was all talk and no action, but he never expected that Chen Yibai would actually dare to go for it under these circumstances!
Not only Yan Wanlei, but everyone stared wide-eyed in astonishment at Chen Yibai's figure rushing forward.
Putting everything else aside, just his aura alone makes him look quite handsome.
One sword strike!
Chen Yibai charged forward with fierce momentum, raising his bronze sword and striking swiftly and decisively.
Although the bronze sword had been artificially aged and covered with a thick layer of copper rust, and its edges were not sharpened, it was surprisingly sharp. The round head of the child sacrificial corpse was separated directly from its neck by the blade, splashing up a mixture of black and white foul-smelling liquid.
The black substance is putrefactive fluid, and the white substance is mercury.
If this sword were to strike an ordinary person, it would at most leave them with bruises, but when dealing with evil spirits, especially zombies, it's a completely different story.
"Those with unfavorable birth charts should not approach the bronze coffin within the inner chamber."
This means that burying someone in a bronze coffin usually indicates that the body has already become a zombie before burial, and bronze is specifically used to suppress evil spirits.
At first, Wang Haichuan thought that the 200-yuan handicraft that Chen Yibai was carrying was just for showing off.
Looking at it now, it seems that this is even more useful than the Type 95 rifles in the hands of the Special Operations Squad.
woo woo woo woo……
Chen Yibai charged alone into the dark mass of child sacrificial corpses. The child sacrificial corpses' heart-wrenching cries suddenly turned ferocious, transforming from pitiful to howling like ghosts. Their originally sinister expressions instantly became grotesque, and they opened their mouths, revealing sharp black fangs, which surged towards Chen Yibai like a raging tide.
Although Chen Yibai was also wearing a mini version of the Tomb Raider Talisman.
But the Tomb Raider Talisman can only ward off evil spirits and misfortune.
The true meaning of "driving away evil and avoiding misfortune" is to deter evil spirits from approaching and to avoid danger.
But even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, and a cornered rabbit will bite. If you actively provoke evil spirits, it will naturally fail to have a deterrent effect.
Facing the child sacrificial corpses rushing in from all directions, Chen Yibai remained calm and composed. With a swift and precise half-moon slash, the sharp bronze blade sliced off a series of heads from their necks as easily as cutting leeks!
Then, following up with a swift and decisive strike, the four-foot-long bronze sword pierced through the mouth of the child sacrificial corpse, penetrating four or five heads in succession.
The bronze sword hissed and burned inside the child sacrificial corpse's mouth, black smoke billowing from its nostrils. As the bronze sword sliced through the child sacrificial corpse's mouth, the upper half of its head tilted to the side, leaving only half of it.
The bronze sword that slashed horizontally did not miss its target, precisely following and repeating the previous crescent-shaped horizontal slash. The transition was very smooth, with almost no unnecessary movements in order to conserve energy.
After several consecutive attacks, the headless sacrificial children lay scattered on the ground.
The stench of black bodily fluids filled the air, growing increasingly foul.
"That's so cool!"
Yan Wanlei was thinking that Chen Yibai would have a hard time dealing with such a dark mass of child sacrificial corpses.
After all, we're all on the same side, so we should find a way to help and not let Chen Yibai shoulder the burden alone.
But unexpectedly, Chen Yibai was so 'cool', wielding the bronze sword like a brutal meat grinder, making one feel a little 'pitiful' for these child sacrificial corpses.
This guy is definitely a trained fighter!
He's definitely a trained martial artist.
Besides possessing unparalleled tomb raiding skills, Chen Yibai, as a former leader of tomb raiding, naturally also had top-notch martial arts skills. Moreover, he had mastered various killing techniques that combined the strengths of different schools, employing a hard-hitting, offensive-defense-oriented approach. He once achieved the feat of defeating the last martial arts champion of the late Qing Dynasty in just three moves.
This is Chen Yibai's first time showing off his skills since being reborn into this world, and another purpose is to familiarize himself with this new body.
Snapped!
Chen Yibai executed a stylish spinning kick, showcasing his martial arts skills. One of the child sacrificial corpses beneath his feet was sent flying three to five meters away.
click!
But then came a 'crack' sound from my waist?
Fuck!
It seems like I twisted my waist! And my thigh almost cramped up too.
Fortunately, my waist wasn't twisted too hard; I almost messed up.
Only after trying it did I realize that this body's bones and muscles were in very poor condition.
Even though Chen Yibai is skilled in various routines and killing moves, because his physical body is too weak, he can't even unleash one-tenth of his true strength.
It's really annoying when the hardware can't keep up with the software.
What's even more disgusting is that this body seems to have watched too many suggestive live streams, leaving it constantly exhausted. Coupled with a severe lack of exercise due to staying at home, it not only has poor physical fitness but also very poor physique and stamina.
Before long, Chen Yibai was panting heavily, his physical strength was clearly declining, and he was sweating profusely.
At such a young age, her health has deteriorated to this extent. Online live streaming that skirts the line of boundaries is extremely harmful!
"We must act quickly and decisively!"
Chen Yibai was well aware of the current situation and knew he had to finish the battle quickly before his physical strength was completely exhausted!
We absolutely cannot let this drag on, or something terrible will happen!
