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

"Goodbye, Grandpa Wu, I'm not playing with you anymore. You two can go find your damn immortality!"

Wu Daoshan tried to stretch his shoulders, and at the same time glanced down to confirm the retreat route.

However, Yan Xuefei, who was standing next to Wu Daoshan, immediately saw through the subtle change in Wu Daoshan's expression.

Want to run?

"Mr. Wu, wait a minute!"

Just before Wu Daoshan was about to retreat, Yan Xuefei suddenly reached out and shouted.

Yan Xuefei's sudden shout startled both Wu Daoshan and Guan Yunlong.

Even Chen Yibai, who was far away, subconsciously glanced at the Gu-type monkeys below.

The carcass of the Gu monkey remained unchanged, showing no signs of resurrection.

Guan Yunlong glanced at Wu Daoshan, then looked at Yan Xuefei in surprise and asked, "Miss Yan, what's wrong?"

Yan Xuefei stared intently at the wound on Wu Daoshan's shoulder, her expression extremely serious, and said, "Old Wu, don't move!"

Wu Daoshan was so frightened by Yan Xuefei's loud and boisterous behavior that he didn't dare to run away.

Yan Xuefei gripped the rattan cane and slowly moved in front of Wu Daoshan. She then took out a dagger from her body, cut open the two layers of clothing covering the wound on Wu Daoshan's shoulder, and pressed hard on the wound with her other hand.

Wu Daoshan didn't feel any pain because he had just received a nerve block injection.

With Yan Xuefei's forceful press, the several bloody holes on her shoulder immediately oozed dark brown pus, which even had a foul odor and looked extremely disgusting.

"It's poisonous! And it's a type of Gu poison!"

Yan Xuefei frowned and called out with a solemn expression.

"what?"

Wu Daoshan was startled when he saw the dark brown pus squeezed out of his shoulder. He quickly asked, "Miss Yan, what is Gu poison?"

Yan Xuefei said, "It's a kind of poison that can only be found in this tomb!"

"What will happen if you get poisoned?" Wu Daoshan asked hurriedly.

Yan Xuefei's brows remained furrowed, her expression extremely solemn and serious. She said, "It is said that the tomb's occupant took pleasure in pain. Once poisoned by the Gu poison, the entire body would feel as if ants were gnawing at the bones, causing unbearable agony. However, the person would not die immediately but would be tormented for many years, suffering a fate worse than death..."

hiss……

Even Guan Yunlong, who was standing next to Yan Xuefei, gasped in surprise upon hearing her words.

That sounds like a chill down your spine.

As for Wu Daoshan, his face turned deathly pale instantly. He abandoned any thought of retreat and quickly looked at Yan Xuefei, asking, "Miss Yan, since you know so much about this, how do you cure this Gu poison?"

Yan Xuefei shook her head: "The knowledge of Gu poison has been lost for thousands of years, and it's almost a complete misunderstanding. With the current level of medical technology, it's even more impossible!"

Does this mean I'm doomed?

Wu Daoshan's heart sank to the soles of his feet, and his whole body ached as if ants were gnawing at his bones—the mere thought of it was unbearable...

Guan Yunlong, who was standing next to her, suddenly interjected, "Miss Yan, is there really no way at all?"

Yan Xuefei nodded, but the nod was not a denial; rather, it was because Guan Yunlong's question was very good.

"There is a way to counteract the Gu poison, it's not that there isn't one, but only..."

Yan Xuefei paused deliberately.

This greatly worried Wu Daoshan, who quickly pressed, "Miss Yan, please just say it all! What's the solution?"

Yan Xuefei said with unwavering determination, "The only way is to find the secret of immortality through the art of Gu..."

Depend on!

It's about immortality again!

Is this some kind of desperate attempt to achieve immortality?

Wu Daoshan wanted to curse inwardly. He had already planned to retreat, but was he being forced into this situation?

Wu Daoshan said, "I really don't want to play anymore!"

wrong!

Wu Daoshan then thought again, could it be that Yan Xuefei said this on purpose so that he could continue to climb the ranks?

But upon further reflection, Yan Xuefei didn't even know she wanted to leave.

In addition, the wound on his shoulder was indeed oozing pus, which was a sign of poisoning.

This made Wu Daoshan hesitate for a moment, wondering whether to retreat or charge forward!

What if Yan Xuefei is telling the truth? Going back would mean certain death, and to be tortured to death in agony...

After weighing the options, it seems that this is the only way out – a forced path to survival...

"Mr. Wu, Chairman Guan, let's stop thinking about this now. Since we've come this far, we can only continue down this path!"

Yan Xuefei looked at Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan with a serious expression and said something. At the same time, she looked up at the sky and silently shook one of her hands behind her back, shaking off some powder that was stuck to her palm.

Yan Xuefei's actions were clearly witnessed by Chen Yibai, a bystander.

That's 'Blood-Depleting Powder', a special poisonous powder that causes pus to form upon contact with blood, much like how brine curdles tofu. It's occasionally rumored in the market, but extremely rare!

So Wu Daoshan wasn't poisoned by any kind of venom; it was just a little trick played by Yan Xuefei.

It seems that Yan Xuefei is quite cunning. As for why she was carrying the 'Blood-Sucking Powder', it was obviously not a coincidence. She had prepared this before coming, using the pretense of being poisoned by the Gu poison to half-coerce and half-lure these people to join her in the search for immortality!

And in fact, it is indeed the case.

Yan Xuefei had already guessed from the subtle expression on Wu Daoshan's face that he wanted to run away, so she used this dirty trick. She secretly sprinkled the blood from her palm onto the wound on Wu Daoshan's shoulder when he was not paying attention, and then pressed hard, and the blood squeezed out instantly turned into a thick liquid.

Just as Chen Yibai thought, this was a plan that Yan Xuefei had prepared in advance to get these people to accompany her to find immortality.

But there's another reason!

Yan Xuefei is vengeful. Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan wanted to make her a sacrifice, but luckily she was quick-witted, otherwise she might already be pregnant.

I won't say it out loud, but I will definitely take revenge!

Want to run!

No way! Both of you are staying here this time!

Let me show you that daring to betray me will have very serious consequences!

"Miss Yan, don't worry. As long as the three of us in the team are united, we can overcome any obstacle, even mountains of knives and seas of fire, or dragon's dens and tiger's lair!"

Guan Yunlong said with a serious expression.

"Yes, yes, yes! Chairman Guan is right! Unity is strength!"

Wu Daoshan quickly followed suit, nodding repeatedly in agreement.

There was nothing he could do; things had come to this point. Looking at the festering wound on his shoulder, Wu Daoshan could only agree.

One team, three people, with eight hundred tricks up their sleeves.

As for who will survive to the end, it's not about skill, but about who has more cunning...
