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

From Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan's perspective.

The thick smoke that was billowing below suddenly burst into flames, but it only burned in the air for a moment, giving the impression of gunpowder being ignited.

Immediately following was a plume of thick yellow-white smoke, which rose into the air like a giant mushroom cloud.

In an instant, the entire corpse tower was filled with a pungent smell of burning sulfur.

The sulfur fumes from burning sulfur are even more toxic.

Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan coughed violently from the smoke, and the thick smoke rising into the air made it impossible for them to open their eyes.

However, this is not a big problem for Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan.

What alarmed Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan the most was that, given the horrific scene below, could Captain Chen still be alive?

"Captain Chen!"

Just as the two were feeling uneasy about this, Wu Daoshan suddenly spotted a figure rushing out of the thick smoke below.

Although his full appearance is not clear, he is holding a red sword, making him highly recognizable!

The figure that burst out of the thick smoke was none other than Chen Yibai!

call!

After Chen Yibai rushed out of the thick smoke, he threw away the coat that he had wrapped around his head beforehand.

Just as Chen Yibai had predicted, the thick sulfurous smoke that filled the air was not, strictly speaking, a solid substance, so the burning time was only a very short instant, at most a burn, and should not be fatal.

Therefore, the moment he took out the lighter, Chen Yibai covered his head with his coat.

In fact, Chen Yibai guessed it pretty accurately.

The intense heat from the brief burst of flames only burned Chen Yibai's hands, causing a burning pain. However, this minor injury and pain was not a big problem for Chen Yibai.

So this formation can be broken in this way!

As the thick smoke gradually dissipated, a dark figure stood in the fog, gradually revealing its true form.

That's the same dark-faced guy from earlier!

However, without the cover of sulfur fumes, this time not only his black face but his entire body was exposed. Except for his black face, his whole body was yellow like sulfur. He was not tall, probably less than 1.6 meters. His short stature was mainly due to his hunched back and stooped posture. He was craning his neck, raising his head, and staring intently at Chen Yibai with a pair of fierce eyes.

If I'm not mistaken, this zongzi (rice dumpling) should be one of the tribal leaders who were once conquered by the Gu clan. His hunched back indicates that he was old before he died, and the yellow sulfur on his body is the reason why he did not decay after death and became a zongzi.

This is somewhat similar to some kind of corpse training, but Chen Yibai had never heard of or seen anything like it before.

As for the underlying principles, Chen Yibai was too lazy to study them.

After all, I'm not an archaeologist or a researcher. All I need to do is confirm whether this beast can withstand the sharpness of the crimson ancient sword in my hand!

They locked eyes across the distance, but Chen Yibai was completely unfazed by the zongzi's fierce gaze.

Earlier, he couldn't see anything in the sulfurous smoke array. Now that the array was broken, Chen Yibai was already seething with anger. He immediately went into berserk mode, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Without saying a word, he instantly raised his sword and slashed fiercely.

To Chen Yibai's surprise, after breaking the formation, although the zongzi stared intently at him and had a wicked smile on its lips, it did not move an inch when he raised his sword to strike, as if it had no intention of resisting.

The world is unpredictable; there must be something sinister going on!

This unusual scene made Chen Yibai feel that something was amiss!

But the sword raised in his hand was like an arrow shot out; it must have been pulled back as well.

Even if he's bluffing, the sulfur smoke array has been broken, so what tricks can he possibly pull?

Chen Yibai gritted his teeth and chopped down at the head of the rice dumpling.

click!

Chen Yibai rushed forward and brought his sword down on the head of the rice dumpling.

The sharp blade sliced ​​off the zongzi's head cleanly, like a cucumber being chopped on a cutting board. The zongzi rolled several meters away on the ground before its hunched back collapsed, a thick yellow liquid flowing from the severed neck.

"what?"

Chen Yibai sheathed his sword, looked at the corpse on the ground, and frowned in surprise.

No fraud?

It's completely different from what I imagined!

Chen Yibai had thought that a fierce battle was inevitable, after all, judging from the force with which the zongzi dragged his ankle and pinched his shoulder, it was definitely not an ordinary zongzi.

Even if it's not a fierce battle, it certainly won't be easy.

But to my utter surprise, there was absolutely no resistance whatsoever.

Could it be that the sulfur smoke array was broken and then it automatically gave up resisting?

This doesn't make sense at all.

The ever-cautious Chen Yibai remained frowning, not completely relaxing. He carefully examined the corpse on the ground and the head not far away, and then surveyed his surroundings.

Just then, Wu Daoshan's voice came from above: "Captain Chen..."

From Wu Daoshan's shout, it was clear that he was very excited, excited to have regained hope for life and full of the will to survive.

Chen Yibai looked up at Wu Daoshan and Guan Yunlong, who were lying on the blood vine coffin.

As Chen Yibai looked up, he noticed that the smoke from the burning sulfur had not dissipated; instead, it rose to the top of the Corpse Tower, like a layer of swirling mist.

And the pungent smell of burning sulfur in the air had not yet dissipated.

"Captain Chen...you..."

When Guan Yunlong saw Chen Yibai slaying the zombies with his sword, he was excited and wanted to give him a compliment. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he seemed to see something else up there and immediately shone his wolf-eye flashlight directly onto the upper level of the corpse tower.

Chen Yibai also noticed the change in Guan Yunlong's expression. His eyes, which looked like they were the size of cow eggs, were wide open, and he looked astonished as if he had seen a naked female ghost.

The next second, a strange 'whooshing' sound came from the top of the corpse tower.

The sound didn't seem to be coming from the third floor above; rather, it felt like different strange noises were coming from each floor above.

The sounds mingled together, like a symphony of demons dancing wildly, echoing repeatedly within the Corpse Tower.

"What's going on up there?"

Chen Yibai immediately asked a loud question.

"A rice dumpling! It's on your head!"

Wu Daoshan then shone his wolf-eye flashlight on the upper level of the corpse tower and shouted back.

"No! There are rice dumplings on every layer..."

Guan Yunlong then shone the wolf-eye flashlight upwards layer by layer, shouting loudly to correct him.

There are rice dumplings on every layer?

Chen Yibai looked again at the decapitated zombie corpse in front of him and the thick smoke swirling around the top of the Corpse Tower, and seemed to have guessed what was going on.

No wonder the rice dumpling didn't resist after the formation was broken.

It seems that the sulfur smoke array was just a prelude, or rather, a prelude.

Use fire to break through the formation; the smoke from burning sulfur can make all the rice dumplings on top come back to life!

Is this all connected to Lao Tzu in a chain?
