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

The Fire Serpent King's skin, which had not lost its scales for protection, was as thin as the inner membrane of an egg.

Looking at the beating heart beneath the 'Reverse Scale', Chen Yibai did not hesitate and thrust the corpse-suppressing nail he was holding into the ground.

Then quickly pull it out while dodging.

A set of gorgeous combo moves, without the slightest hesitation.

As the corpse-suppressing nail was pulled out, a stream of fiery red blood, like molten lava, gushed out instantly.

Chen Yibai could clearly feel the temperature of the fiery red blood; if it splashed on his body, it would probably melt his bones instantly.

Therefore, Chen Yibai had made preparations beforehand to make a quick getaway after succeeding.

Bang!

The Fire Serpent King's enormous body crashed down, letting out a ferocious roar. It still tried to resist, but its heart had been pierced, leaving a gash. Its internal organs were flowing out rapidly like molten lava.

In less than a moment, it had drained completely, leaving only a blackened, shriveled shell that was no longer responding.

That's it?

Chen Yibai was somewhat surprised. He had thought the Fire Serpent King would struggle a few more times, since even a person with their heart stabbed can still struggle a bit more.

I never expected him to die so easily. It seems that the Fire Serpent King's 'reverse scale' is no ordinary fatal weakness!

No wonder it wouldn't let me look when I tried to...

At the same time, the archaeological team looked at the Fire Serpent King lying in front of Chen Yibai and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like they had survived a disaster.

At the same time, he suddenly realized what Chen Yibai's intention was.

What's even more surprising is that after the Fire Serpent King was killed, all the countless small Fire Serpents around it lost their desire to attack, and some even started to turn around and crawl into the crevices in the rocks.

It seems that the death of the Fire Serpent King had a certain deterrent effect on these little Fire Serpents.

"What are you standing there for? Come here!"

Chen Yibai waved to Yan Wanlei and the others who were still in a daze.

The group immediately threw away the dried corpses they were carrying and ran over in a few quick steps.

Looking at the shriveled corpse of the Fire Serpent King on the ground, everyone subconsciously took a deep breath. Compared to the relief of surviving the disaster, they felt more admiration for Chen Yibai's strength.

Fighting a monster that can withstand bullets one-on-one is something I wouldn't even dare to imagine if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.

Even in filmmaking, you wouldn't dare to film something like this so casually, right?

"Captain Yan, can I borrow your dagger?"

Chen Yibai was also looking at the shriveled corpse of the Fire Serpent King, as if it were a treasure.

The corpse of the Fire Serpent King is truly a treasure that is hard to find in heaven and earth and rare in the human world!

Yan Wanlei handed the tactical dagger he was carrying to Chen Yibai.

Chen Yibai first dragged the corpse of the Fire Serpent King aside, and then, like a professional butcher, skillfully separated the flesh from the Fire Serpent King's skin.

The scales on the Fire Serpent King are so tough that even bullets from automatic rifles can't penetrate them. Not only can they not penetrate them, but they don't even leave bullet marks. You can imagine how incredibly tough they are.

In addition to being hard, the scales of the Fire Serpent King also have excellent heat insulation, waterproofing, and corrosion resistance.

Plus, it's ultra-thin and extremely light. You could make a scale armor piece out of it and wear it – it would be an absolute armor-protecting marvel!

The Fire Serpent King's body is large enough; if we make another 'Diamond Umbrella' with the remaining material, it will be even better than refined steel.

I ask you, what material, even with cutting-edge technology, is known to humankind at present, that can have half the performance of these scales?

Chen Yibai was worried about not having suitable equipment and weapons. He had previously obtained a complete set of seven corpse-suppressing nails, and now he had obtained two more semi-finished items. It seemed that he could rely on finding all his equipment in the ancient tomb.

Before long, Chen Yibai had peeled off the entire snakeskin.

Although a snakeskin that is over ten meters long is very large, it is as thin as a fingernail. Because it is made up of overlapping scales, it is also very soft. The whole piece weighs only seven or eight kilograms. If you wrap it around your body, you can use it as temporary armor without much treatment.

"Mr. Chen, actually, this snakeskin... has very important research value for both archaeology and biology..."

Seeing that Chen Yibai accepted the snakeskin without saying a word, Wang Haichuan, who was standing next to him, hesitated for a long time before finally speaking up, saying something in a tentative tone.

Although it wasn't said explicitly, those who understand will understand the meaning.

"Damn it! You old codger, you want everything good you see?"

Chen Yibai immediately turned and glared at Wang Haichuan, but considering that he was the archaeological team leader, Chen Yibai did not curse him out directly.

Even though he didn't say it aloud, he looked at Wang Haichuan with a very firm tone and said, "Professor Wang, this can't be considered an antique, can it? Since it's not an antique, then consider it my personal work. If you want to study it, go and catch another one yourself!"

Seeing Chen Yibai's expression change instantly, Wang Haichuan, realizing this powerful figure wasn't someone he could afford to offend, quickly chuckled and said, "Just kidding, I was just joking. This is your personal earnings, Captain Chen, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it... absolutely nothing wrong with it..."

It's good that you know what I just said was a joke!

Yan Wanlei, who was standing nearby, quickly tried to smooth things over: "We are so grateful to Mr. Chen for risking his life to save us. Since this is neither an antique nor a protected animal, it is only right and proper that it should be allocated to Mr. Chen..."

Look at how tactful he is in speaking.

Actually, Yan Wanlei was extremely envious of that snakeskin.

Such a large snakeskin can make at least four bulletproof vests, which are more effective than level four bulletproof armor.

Yan Wanlei was too embarrassed to speak up, but Wang Haichuan, despite his pride, blurted it out, only to be immediately rebuked by Chen Yibai.

Yan Wanlei was glad he hadn't said anything. Seeing how determined Chen Yibai was to get the snakeskin, he could only go along with it and be a good guy.

In addition, Yan Wanlei had also heard that tomb raiding gangs often had internal conflicts due to disagreements over the distribution of spoils.

This kind of thing must never happen to this team!

After this little incident...

Chen Yibai stood up, looked at the bronze door that was more than two meters tall in front of him, and stretched out his hands to try to push it with force.

Gaa! Gaa gaa! Gaa gaa gaa!

There is movement!

As Chen Yibai pushed forward with all his might, the more than two-meter-tall bronze door made a creaking sound, as if it came from thousands of years ago.

It is gently calling to King Kang, who has been 'sleeping' for thousands of years...

Everyone listened to the sound, their nerves tensing with excitement.

Does the legendary 'Mountain God Zhulong' really exist?

Could it be inside this Dragon Tower Palace?

And what secrets are hidden behind the fact that King Kang was granted the title of a mountain deity?

All the mysteries and answers are hidden behind this bronze door!
