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

The Seven Stars Suppressing Corpse is originally a Maoshan magic technique.

But in the business of tomb raiding, you have to learn a little bit of everything; the more you know, the longer you can survive.

The seven stars are Tian Shu, Tian Xuan, Tian Ji, Tian Quan, Yu Heng, Kai Yang, and Yao Guang. Each of these stars has its own unique meaning, and when combined, they form the Seven Star Array, which governs a person's destiny.

There are also seven acupoints in the human body, which correspond to the seven stars, and none of them can be eliminated.

"When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out"—that's the true saying.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang lit the Seven Star Lamp in an attempt to prolong his life, but unfortunately, Wei Yan kicked one of the lamps over, causing the attempt to fail.

The reason why a corpse does not decay after death, and does not decompose after decay, is because evil energy attacks the body, forming the "Seven Evils" within the body, and the corpse rises up and becomes a rice dumpling.

Therefore, in the absence of absolute power to suppress it, the best and most effective solution is to use the Corpse-Suppressing Nails to "Seven Stars Clash with Seven Evils" and break the evil energy inside the zombie.

"Comb-sealing nails, here!"

Yan Wanlei pulled out the third coffin-sealing nail and quickly threw it at Chen Yibai.

The third star position, Tianji!

Chen Yibai reached out and took the third coffin-sealing nail. He quickly wrapped it around several times with ink line, and then slammed it down on the copper-armored corpse's tailbone, which was positioned opposite Tianji.

These coffin nails aren't used haphazardly; if the position is wrong, it's all for naught. They must be extremely precise, or the slightest error will lead to disastrous consequences.

puff!

The more than 20-centimeter-long coffin-sealing nails were violently driven into the tailbone of the bronze-armored corpse.

After the third coffin-sealing nail was driven in, the bronze-armored corpse's originally ferocious roar clearly turned into a scream.

Furthermore, around the coffin-sealing nails driven into his body, the black, rotting flesh was visibly decaying bit by bit. Although his struggles became more intense and frantic, his upper body and legs were noticeably stiffer than before.

Let alone jumping, the bronze-armored corpse was like a little girl who had been fucked, its legs were tight and it couldn't even take a big step. It could only wave its arms very violently, which basically posed no threat to Chen Yibai.

To be precise, it's just a matter of time before we collect a complete set of seven coffin-sealing nails from the bronze-armored corpse.

Yan Wanlei and Qiu Jing had gradually mastered some techniques, and their movements and efficiency were much faster than before.

Nothing unexpected happened. In less than a few minutes, the two of them worked together to pull out the remaining four sealing nails from the coffin lid and immediately threw them to Chen Yibai.

Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang!

Besides feng shui and the I Ching, Chen Yibai was also proficient in astronomy and astrology, and was extremely familiar with the corresponding positions of the seven stars and the human body.

"Old man, stop struggling, if you're going to do it, then do the whole thing!"

Chen Yibai tightened the ink line, first winding the line around himself, and then, taking advantage of the bronze-armored corpse raising its arm and swinging it, he went straight for the heart of the matter, stabbing the coffin-sealing nail into the bronze-armored corpse's armpit.

As the coffin-sealing nail was driven in, it directly severed one of the bronze-armored corpse's arms, rendering it unable to move.

Yuheng corresponds to the right armpit.

Kaiyang corresponds to the position on the chest.

There's one last 'Yao Guang'!

The bronze-armored corpse had completely collapsed to the ground, its body stiff, and it wouldn't be so easy for it to get up again.

However, Chen Yibai was not going to give it another chance to get up!

"Old man, you can go down and report to your Prince Kang now!"

Chen Yibai's eyes were fierce, and he gripped the last coffin-sealing nail wrapped with ink line tightly in his hand. He then slammed it into the very center of the bronze-armored corpse's forehead!

The Seven Stars Corpse Suppression is complete!

The seven star positions, connected by ink lines, were activated and instantly turned a fiery red, sparking with light.

As the ink line changed, the bronze-armored corpse resembled a tightly bound Dragon Boat Festival rice dumpling, its entire body crackling and emitting black smoke as it was scorched by the ink line. At the same time, the black, rotting flesh on its body rapidly decomposed into black corpse fluid from the location of the coffin-sealing nails.

This is the legendary 'Seven Stars Clashing with Seven Evils'!

As long as the coffin nails are strong enough, once the Seven Star Corpse Suppression is completed, even the Kuiba wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Because this power comes from the heavens and earth!

"Snoring..."

From the bottom of the pool came muffled roars of the bronze-armored corpses, extremely ferocious and filled with resentment. The sounds were like rolling thunder, echoing throughout the cave.

However, the sound didn't sound so scary; in fact, it felt kind of cool.

Because this was actually the final scream of the bronze-armored corpse.

As the bronze-armored corpse's screams faded away, its entire body completely decomposed into a pool of extremely foul-smelling rotting flesh amidst the white pile of bones. Then, oxidized by the air, it melted into black liquid, like heated ice, leaving only a pungent stench that permeated the air...

call……

Watching the bronze-armored corpse completely dissolve into a pool of liquid on the pile of bones, Chen Yibai let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if a huge mountain had been lifted off his shoulders, and collapsed onto the ground.

Thinking back on the close call, Chen Yibai himself was a little surprised that he could actually kill the bronze-armored corpse in the coffin.

However, this is definitely not solely due to his own efforts; the assistance from his teammates was also crucial.

"Zongzi...where's the zongzi?"

After the silence, smelling the pungent stench in the air, Qiu Jing, who was in the distance, watched Chen Yibai sit down with a thud. Although she had a premonition, she still dared not relax completely, so she called out and asked.

"nailed it!"

Chen Yibai immediately responded. Although his voice was not loud and he didn't have the strength to shout it out, it still clearly reached everyone's ears at the bottom of the still pool.

This includes the archaeological experts who have already climbed halfway up the mountain.

Hearing Chen Yibai say that it was all settled, Qiu Jing finally relaxed completely, let out a long breath, and plopped down on the floor.

"Xiaojing, are you alright...?"

Yan Wanlei, who was standing nearby, thought Qiu Jing had fallen and quickly came over to help her up. He then noticed the wound on Qiu Jing's leg, where the blood had completely soaked her trouser leg and combat boots.

"Little Tiger, quickly bring the first aid kit over!"

Yan Wanlei quickly shouted in the direction of the special operations team.

Now that the danger below has been dealt with, there's no need to climb any further.

The archaeological experts and special operations team went down the zipline again to deliver a first-aid kit to Yan Wanlei.

Several archaeological experts followed Wang Haichuan and ran towards Chen Yibai's direction.

vomit!

As soon as Wang Haichuan and several archaeological experts arrived, they were overwhelmed by the even stronger, more pungent stench of decay, and they vomited up all the breakfast they had eaten on their way there.

Where is that big rice dumpling?

Wang Haichuan's primary concern was not Chen Yibai, but rather the ancient corpse that was nearly three meters tall and covered in bronze armor.

Let's set aside the question of how valuable this ancient corpse is for archaeological research.

If we take this ancient corpse back, we could definitely build a museum dedicated to it, and the economic value it would generate would be immeasurable.

Even if Captain Chen had some injuries when he subdued him, it didn't matter, as long as he still looked like a 'human being'.

But looking at the large pool of black bodily fluid in front of Chen Yibai, Wang Haichuan had already guessed what was going on: another case of 'death without a complete corpse'.

Does this mean that all zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) are destined to be reduced to ashes?

After putting in so much effort and taking such a huge risk, it feels like I'm just fighting for nothing, without experiencing any sense of victory whatsoever.

Actually, it's not absolutely impossible.

After resting for a while, Chen Yibai got up and rummaged through the pile of bones under the corpse water, finding the seven coffin-sealing nails.

Although the bronze-armored corpse's body had decomposed, the coffin nails were not disposable.

Because of the urgency of the situation, Chen Yibai didn't have time to study it carefully.

All seven coffin-sealing nails are seven inches long, made of bronze, and have no rust. They are reddish-dark in color, with fine dragon-shaped patterns engraved on the nails. The round, flat nail heads are also engraved with the Taikang clan's totem, making them look extremely exquisite.

This set of coffin nails, originating from the Shang Dynasty, can definitely be considered a first-class cultural relic, worthy of being displayed in a separate showcase in a provincial museum.

This is at least the first real archaeological find we've obtained on this trip.

However, just as Wang Haichuan was about to reach for it, Chen Yibai nimbly dodged it.

Wang Haichuan frowned, not quite understanding what Chen Yibai meant.

We're doing archaeological work, not tomb raiding. Everything in an ancient tomb must be registered, filed, and handed over; there's absolutely no question of dividing the loot.

Even so, Chen Yibai had no intention of handing over this set of coffin-sealing nails.

Although these are coffin-sealing nails, because the coffin chamber wood is four thousand years old, they have become the most advanced corpse-suppressing nails, a major weapon against zombies!

In Chen Yibai's hands, it can increase combat power by at least 300%.

As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle. It would be a waste to leave such a superb weapon lying in a museum for exhibition.

On the other hand, Chen Yibai was reborn and didn't have any suitable equipment yet.

If you asked directly, without even thinking about it, Wang Haichuan would definitely disagree.

So Chen Yibai's eyes darted around, and he pretended to be serious as he said, "Professor Wang, these are not ordinary coffin nails. I'll take them first; they'll be very useful for saving our lives in the future!"

"This……"

Hearing Chen Yibai's words, Wang Haichuan was a little troubled. From a principle point of view, this seemed to be a bit against the rules.

However, judging from the actual situation, it seems that Chen Yibai did indeed use a few coffin-sealing nails to subdue the large meat dumpling.

Seeing Professor Wang frowning, Chen Yibai pretended to be serious and said, "Professor Wang, these are just a few broken copper nails. Compared to the copper armor worn by the zombie, they are nothing. Go find that copper armor!"

Yes! Bronze armor!

Reminded by Chen Yibai, Wang Haichuan suddenly realized: "Tong Jia, find Tong Jia!"

Several archaeological experts immediately grabbed flashlights and began searching the surrounding area for bronze armor.

While all the archaeological experts' attention was turned elsewhere, they took advantage of the moment.

Chen Yibai bent down again and, without anyone noticing, pulled out a black bead slightly larger than an eyeball from under the pile of bones, a strange and wicked smile on his face.

Yinshi Dan!
