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

On Chen Yibai's side.

Reaching into Yan Xuefei's body, he pulled out not her heart, liver, or spleen, but a bead.

This bead is not very large, and its surface emits a milky white halo. It feels icy cold to the bone when held in the hand.

This is the very same Divine Pearl that Yan Xuefei snatched away and swallowed at the Western Han Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum in the Qinling Mountains!

When the Divine Pearl was extracted from Yan Xuefei's body, her previously empty eyes dimmed completely, and her body instantly became weak.

At the same time, the giant net woven by the blood vines also froze completely at this moment.

It seems Chen Yibai made the right bet. Without the energy support of the Divine Pearl, these withered blood vines have become completely lifeless.

Chen Yibai held the God-Sealing Pearl in one hand and a sword in the other, cutting a gap in the giant net woven by the blood vines and rushing out.

It has been exactly three hours since Chen Yibai returned to the Corpse Tower.

The tomb owner, the Two-Headed Gu King, has been dealt with, and the Investiture of the Gods Pearl has been obtained. Shouldn't all of this finally come to an end?

However, Chen Yibai was still unsure about the situation outside, so he didn't linger there any longer. He took the God-Sealing Pearl and returned along the same path he had taken to get up there, exiting the Corpse Tower.

At this moment, outside the Corpse Tower, all the original rice dumplings had fallen to the ground and turned into corpse water.

Looking out from the Corpse Tower, there was a sea of ​​corpses, and the air was filled with a pungent stench, like a hellish underworld.

However, when Chen Yibai looked into the distance, the special forces team was still blocked at the entrance of the tunnel.

Several hundred people were hanging densely on the three rope ladders.

"Captain Chen, what's the situation inside?"

Zhao Changjun, who had been anxiously waiting on the rope ladder for several hours, saw Chen Yibai emerge from the corpse tower again. He immediately shone his wolf-eye flashlight over and asked hysterically, his emotions running high.

After all, for Zhao Changjun now, the lives of several hundred people here all depend on Chen Yibai.

Chen Yibai frowned slightly and did not immediately respond to Zhao Changjun. Instead, he frowned deeply and looked down at the Fengshen Xuanzhu in his hand.

Chen Yibai had previously guessed that this Fengshen Xuanzhu must be inextricably linked to the tomb of the Gu King.

After all, Yan Xuefei swallowed this Divine Pearl, which allowed her to arrive here smoothly.

So, if you want to leave this tomb of the Gu King, the only option is to try it yourself...

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yibai finally gritted his teeth and swallowed the Fengshen Xuanzhu, attempting to digest and control its power with his body.

Chen Yibai was naturally aware that doing so carried extremely high risks.

If she suffers a backlash, she will become the second Yan Xuefei.

Given the current situation, Chen Yibai had no other choice but to take the risk and try it.

On the bright side, perhaps his own Candle Dragon bloodline can suppress the power of the Divine Pearl?

[Oh my god, did Captain Chen swallow something?]

Was it a liver taken from that woman's body?

[Impossible! Swallowing someone's heart and liver whole? What kind of operation is that?]

You know what, I've actually heard a legend about how eating human hearts can make you stronger...

Because the image was blurred out, viewers in the live stream had no idea what Chen Yibai had pulled out of Yan Xuefei's body.

Now, seeing Chen Yibai swallow the thing whole from a first-person perspective has immediately sparked heated discussions and debates.

Because the Divine Pearl was taken from Yan Xuefei's body, it carried a strong smell of blood.

Upon swallowing, a cool sensation instantly swept through the body, and the spirit was instantly invigorated.

The very next second, Chen Yibai felt his blood rushing and boiling throughout his body, as if he were fusing with the Divine Pearl, experiencing some kind of special chemical reaction.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is the fusion of the Candle Dragon bloodline and the Divine Pearl that the Two-Headed Gu King has been longing for for thousands of years.

But in the end, Chen Yibai managed to snag the bargain...

A moment later, Chen Yibai clearly felt that the boiling blood flowing through his body had completely digested the swallowed Divine Pearl.

And my own body has also clearly felt tremendous changes.

Especially on a spiritual level, I can clearly feel a continuous stream of energy nourishing my entire body through my boiling blood.

"Is this what they call immortality?"

Thinking of this, Chen Yibai felt inexplicably excited.

Although the concept of 'immortality' is very abstract, even somewhat absurd.

But since the bloodline of the Candle Dragon already exists, if they were to truly achieve immortality, with their current fame and wealth, anyone would be thrilled.

But now is not the time to get excited about this.

The most important thing to do right now is to figure out a way to get out!

It's strange, really.

After Chen Yibai swallowed the Fengshen Xuanzhu, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the Gu King's Tomb in his heart and spirit.

Chen Yibai quickly walked towards the rope ladder hanging on the stone wall of the pit. He first asked the special forces soldiers hanging on the rope ladder to come down, making room for himself, and then climbed up the rope ladder.

Blocking the entrance to the tunnel was a huge black cocoon, with traces of a grenade explosion around it, but it didn't do much good.

Chen Yibai tried placing his hand on it, feeling a strange sense of familiarity with this tomb of the Gu King, and a thought flashed through his mind.

The black cocoon blocking the entrance to the passageway suddenly cracked open like an eggshell...

(I'm taking a day off today. I'll add the sequel tomorrow. I'm really sorry...)
