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

Although the above are all Chen Yibai's deductions and speculations.

But if this guess is correct, there is an even more terrifying possibility.

Chen Yibai raised his head and continued to look at the candle dragon stone statue on the Dragon Tower Palace.

This could mean that the mountain god "Zhulong" is still alive and is currently in this cave!

But it definitely isn't the Fire Spirit Serpent King that's over ten meters long right in front of us.

"Mr. Chen, what do we do now?"

Wang Haichuan and his group didn't have time to think about the more distant 'Mountain God Zhulong' right now, because the current danger was already terrifying enough.

Although these fire serpents dared not cross the altar even a step for the time being, judging from their fierce eyes and imposing manner, they had no intention of leaving at all.

Tens of thousands of fire serpents densely surrounded the altar, their translucent bodies resembling flowing molten lava, raising the temperature in the air to at least fifty degrees Celsius.

By this time, everyone in the archaeological team was parched with sweat, their bodies soaked in sweat, and large beads of sweat dripping down their faces.

In particular, several members of the special operations team had just been burned and were still wearing thick special operations uniforms.

If they can't figure out a way to escape and just keep locked in this stalemate, they definitely won't last long; they'll die from dehydration from sweating so much.

As for how to escape, the whole team was counting on Chen Yibai.

Because Chen Yibai is a specially appointed consultant!

Only Chen Yibai recognized this thing.

"We need to find a way to open the palace door; it should be safe inside!"

Chen Yibai looked at the bronze palace gate of the Dragon Tower and said with a furrowed brow.

"But didn't you just try? The palace door wouldn't open!"

Yan Wanlei said through gritted teeth.

"Although the main door is locked, we haven't had a chance to try the side door yet!"

Chen Yibai then turned his gaze to the side gates on both sides of the palace.

According to ancient court rules, everyone except the emperor had to enter through a side gate.

Maybe that's why.

"But we can't get through this now either."

Wang Haichuan looked at the altar and the palace gate, where there was a staircase more than five meters wide and more than ten meters long connecting them.

At this moment, the steps were also covered with fire spirit snakes, hissing and flicking their tongues, as if they were waiting for the archaeological team to come down at any time and pounce on them immediately.

Even if they tried to force their way through, they wouldn't survive.

Chen Yibai didn't say anything. He turned around, picked up a dried corpse that was tied up in a kneeling position, and threw it down below the sacrificial altar.

The fire spirit snakes below were immediately frightened and scattered in all directions, not daring to approach the mummified corpse.

Seeing this, everyone immediately understood.

It wasn't just the sacrificial altar that these fire spirit snakes dared not approach.

These mummies were also offerings to the 'Mountain God Zhulong', and they dared not move them either.

Not only did they dare not move, but it was as if touching these sacrificial offerings would be a deliberate offense to the 'Mountain God Zhulong'.

The smaller the fire spirit snake, the more terrified it is.

"See? In a moment, each of you grab a dried corpse to drive them away! Rush over and push open the side door! If I'm not mistaken, these fire spirit snakes shouldn't dare to enter the palace!"

Chen Yibai looked at everyone and said.

"how about you?"

Upon hearing Chen Yibai's words, Yan Wanlei sensed something was amiss and immediately retorted, "Me?"

Chen Yibai smirked: "That largest fire spirit snake king must have lived for at least tens of thousands of years. Its intelligence is probably even higher than ours. It definitely won't let you rush over so easily. I'll go lure it away and test the waters first!"

"Mr. Chen, you are truly righteous!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Wanlei was even more impressed by Chen Yibai's courage!

“Wait a minute… wait a minute…”

Wang Haichuan suddenly interjected, looking at Chen Yibai and asking, "Mr. Chen, you just said that these fire spirit snakes shouldn't dare to follow us in. Is there any explanation for that?"

Chen Yibai didn't keep him in suspense and nodded, saying, "This Dragon Tower Palace might not only be an imperial palace, but also a mountain god's palace. The mountain god Zhulong might be inside, which is why these fire spirit snakes dare not approach!"

"what?"

Upon hearing Chen Yibai's explanation, Wang Haichuan's eyes widened instantly, almost popping out of their sockets.

Mountain God Zhulong?

Is it that snake-tailed, human-bodied monster at the very top?

What kind of ridiculous joke is this? If the mountain god Zhulong is really inside, isn't that like risking your life to enter an even more dangerous place from a dangerous place?

"Don't be afraid, this is all just my guess. Once we made this decision, we had no way back. We can only move forward step by step!"

Chen Yibai looked at Wang Haichuan and the others and said seriously.

"Yes! I agree, everyone get ready quickly!"

Before Wang Haichuan could speak again, Yan Wanlei quickly put away his rifle and slung it over his shoulder. He then scanned the altar and finally focused his gaze on the mummified corpse hanging not far away, its belly ripped open and its internal organs removed.

A gutted mummy shouldn't be very heavy!

Yan Wanlei strode over and looked at the mummified corpse hanging down with its arms dangling, its shape resembling that of a dried snow frog from Northeast China.

No offense intended... No offense intended...

Yan Wanlei first clasped his hands together in front of the mummified corpse, bowed three times, and muttered a few words: "I am in trouble today, please help me. If I offend you, please forgive me. If you can help me get out of here alive, I will definitely bury you in the ground and burn incense and paper money to worship you three times a day!"

After silently reciting the mantra, Yan Wanlei gritted his teeth, hugged the mummified corpse's legs, and held it in his arms. It was indeed not heavy, probably only about thirty pounds.

The design is a bit abstract.

However, from a distance, it does indeed look like he is holding a dark 'big sword' in his arms!

"What are you all standing there for! Do you all want to die here?"

Yan Wanlei looked at the stunned crowd and gritted his teeth, shouting angrily.

Everyone was indeed stunned by Yan Wanlei's abstract appearance, and wondered to themselves, "Is this really useful?"

But now is not the time to think about it.

Under Yan Wanlei's angry rebuke, the special operations team complied, putting away their rifles and each carrying a mummified corpse in their arms.

In order to overcome her inner fear, Qiu Jing forced her brain to treat the mummified corpse as a prop in the haunted house.

But this piercing taste is something that not just any ordinary person can withstand.

As for Chen Yibai, he was also carrying a mummified corpse, but he also held a pair of corpse-suppressing nails in his hand.

"You all get ready and keep an eye on my situation. As soon as there's an opportunity, charge in!"

Chen Yibai gave one last loud instruction to everyone, then, carrying the dried corpse, he leaped off the sacrificial altar towards the Fire Serpent King.

He's really brave!

In such a terrifying scene, in a life-or-death moment, the man who is the first to step forward is the one who is truly brave!

Even Qiu Jing and Yang Qingyun, two women who previously had a very bad impression of Chen Yibai, were a little teary-eyed as they watched Chen Yibai rush down the street...

My eyes welled up with tears of emotion...

Same as the test just now.

Even if they held the mummified corpse in their arms, these fire spirit snakes were still very wary.

The fire serpent's eyes gleamed with ferocity as it tried to avoid contact with the dried corpse and instead bit at Chen Yibai's calf and ankle.

Chen Yibai, meanwhile, was holding the mummified corpse's calf as a weapon, frantically waving it around and trying to drive it away.

He instantly transformed into a 'mummy war god'.

hiss!

The Fire Serpent King stared intently at Chen Yibai, its blood-red maw gaping wide as it emitted a hoarse hiss.

Unlike other little fire spirit snakes.

The Fire Serpent King was not afraid of coming into contact with the dried corpse.

It was just opening its blood-red mouth, trying to bite Chen Yibai, but Chen Yibai kept using the dried corpse as a shield, afraid of accidentally biting it.

It has nothing to do with the offerings to the 'Mountain God Zhulong'.

But if you accidentally bite into it, the meaning is quite different.

Therefore, the Fire Serpent King is constantly looking for an opportunity!

Similarly, Chen Yibai held the Corpse-Suppressing Nail in his hand, staring at the scales on the Fire Spirit Serpent, searching for an opportunity...

That depends on who seizes the opportunity first!
