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

[It moved! The stone coffin moved!]

[Captain Chen's move was brilliant, but what's the underlying principle? Could you explain it to me?]

[What's the point of explaining this? There are only two possibilities: either Captain Chen is incredibly lewd, or he's still a virgin, because it's common knowledge that virgin urine can ward off evil spirits...]

The truth is out: Lieutenant Chen is still a novice.

【Huh? Oh my god, Captain Chen is still a newbie! Let's follow each other, I'm more experienced, let's do some role-playing, I'll cosplay as a female zombie...】

[And then a live stream? If you say that, I'm really not sleepy anymore!]

I don't believe it. How could there still be virgins these days? Unless Captain Chen is impotent...

Now the whole internet knows that Chen Yibai is still a virgin, and the rumors are getting more and more outlandish, even giving us reasons.

If this continues, the last successor of the tomb raiders might become the last eunuch...

As the stone coffin in front of him trembled more and more violently, and even made cracking sounds from inside, Chen Yibai was afraid that the stone coffin would explode on the spot. He quickly stopped and backed away while pulling up his pants. Because he backed away too fast, he accidentally splashed some water on his hand.

"Gan!"

Before Chen Yibai could even wipe his hands, the violently trembling stone coffin suddenly emitted another 'clang' sound, as if a latch had been released from the inside.

Immediately afterwards, the upright stone coffin lid collapsed with a loud thud, crashing to the ground with a deep, muffled sound.

The coffin did not explode as expected.

But as the coffin lid fell, a thick yellow smoke billowed out of the stone coffin.

Chen Yibai quickly took several steps back. Thick yellow smoke filled the air, and a pungent, acrid smell soon filled the space.

"It's sulfur!"

Chen Yibai was very familiar with this smell because many ancient tombs throughout history used sulfur to repel insects. Sulfur is also poisonous, flammable, and often used as a means of preventing theft in tomb chambers.

The most common "fire pits" in the south are mostly due to the presence of a lot of sulfur in the tomb chamber.

If there were an open flame at the scene, it could ignite instantly.

Chen Yibai was genuinely surprised that this clan tribe, which was contemporaneous with the Shang Dynasty, would also use sulfur.

However, if this Gu clan is indeed a branch of Chi You's descendants, then it predates the Shang Dynasty!

Chen Yibai gripped the crimson ancient sword tightly, holding his breath, his eyes fixed on the inside of the coffin. Only when the thick yellow sulfurous smoke dissipated could he see the situation inside the stone coffin.

But at that moment, the thick yellow sulfurous smoke suddenly billowed outwards like boiling water.

To be precise, it was rolling towards Chen Yibai.

"Damn it! They're still trying to play dirty tricks on me!"

Chen Yibai raised an eyebrow instantly. The thick smoke was rolling over too fast, and he felt that there was something wrapped inside.

Behind him was a jumble of burial goods, leaving almost no room to step. Even if he retreated, he couldn't avoid it. He could only grit his teeth, grip the crimson ancient sword tightly, and slash into the billowing sulfurous smoke.

Anyway, sulfur isn't highly toxic, so as long as you don't inhale large amounts, it shouldn't cause any major problems.

I'm just not sure if this is ordinary sulfur.

In an instant, Chen Yibai's body was enveloped in thick sulfurous smoke, as if he had entered a yellow fog with almost no visibility, and the crimson ancient sword in his hand missed its mark.

Chen Yibai sensed something was amiss and suddenly turned his head, only to see a black face emerging from the thick yellow fog. It looked like an old man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, his skin wrinkled and bony, his nose sunken, and his eyes sunken in their sockets with a fierce and eerie look. The face was almost touching Chen Yibai's; if he took another step forward, he might be hit by a wave.

This is most likely a rice dumpling that escaped from the stone coffin.

Although Chen Yibai was startled, he had experienced many such dangerous situations and was quite adaptable. He quickly took a step back to create distance from the rice dumpling, and then turned around to slash at it with his sword.

At such close range, Chen Yibai was confident that his sword would hit its mark.

The sharpness of the Crimson Ancient Sword was such that even the Candle Dragon couldn't withstand it. It had only just been thwarted when it struck the stone coffin. Chen Yibai refused to believe that this zongzi (rice dumpling) could be tougher than the Candle Dragon's skin.

To Chen Yibai's surprise, just as he raised his sword, the dark face with its pointed mouth and monkey cheeks suddenly shrank back into the thick sulfur fog, and the sword in his hand fell, striking nothing again.

"Damn it, they're even playing hide-and-seek now!"

Chen Yibai sensed something was wrong; something was definitely wrong!

It seems like this rice dumpling is deliberately using the thick sulfur fumes to hide from itself.

Logically, the sulfurous fumes should have dissipated quickly in the air, but they remained condensed and showed no signs of dissipating. All that could be seen was the pervasive yellow smoke.

At this point, Chen Yibai's breath-holding had almost reached its limit, and just in case, he had to go out first.

Who knows if this is ordinary sulfur? If it's highly toxic, even wearing a rosin mask might not be enough to protect it.

Fortunately, Chen Yibai had a good sense of direction and immediately took several steps in one direction.

To Chen Yibai's surprise, even after taking several steps outwards, his body was still inside the smoke.

broken!

We can't get out!

This is definitely not ordinary sulfurous smoke!

An ominous premonition instantly arose in Chen Yibai's heart.

Just then, the black face with its pointed snout and monkey-like cheeks emerged from the yellow smoke again. Only the face was visible; the body and even the top of the head were not visible. The corner of the mouth twitched slightly, and the originally fierce eyes gained a sinister smile, as if it were playing with and teasing.

Before Chen Yibai could even raise his sword again, the dark-faced figure had already retreated back into the thick smoke, appearing and disappearing like a ghost in the smoke.

Chen Yibai was furious and slashed several times at the spot where the black face had disappeared.

Unsurprisingly, they all struck at thin air.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yibai gripped his sword tightly and blindly swept it around his body, but again, all he could see was empty air.

Finally, Chen Yibai couldn't hold it in any longer and forced himself to take a breath.

Even through the rosin-scented mask, Chen Yibai could clearly feel a strong sulfur smell irritating his nasal cavity. Moreover, it wasn't just a simple sulfur smell; it also seemed to be mixed with the stench of a rotting corpse!

Although sulfur is not highly toxic, inhaling an excessive amount can still be fatal!

So we need to find a way to get out of here right now!
