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

After Chen Yibai's reasonable explanation, everyone was convinced by the questions and contradictions raised by Yang Qingyun.

Everyone was deeply impressed by Chen Yibai's extensive knowledge and logical reasoning abilities.

At the same time, everyone was amazed, thinking that this King Kang was a ruthless man who could play such a big game.

To put it another way, if the Kangxi Emperor was indeed recorded in history, he must have been bestowed an imperial title by the mountain god and ascended to immortality, and certainly not possessed by Zhulong's spirit in an attempt to return to life!

After all, as Chen Yibai just said, people in ancient times also cared a lot about fame and fortune!

"Captain Chen, there's one more thing I don't quite understand. Since you just said that King Kang wanted to possess Zhulong's soul and return him to life, but nearly four thousand years have passed, how is Zhulong still alive?"

After a brief moment of shock, Yang Qingyun, still harboring doubts, looked at Chen Yibai and asked him with a puzzled expression.

"time!"

Chen Yibai looked at Yang Qingyun and smiled slightly: "Zhulong is not a real god. In fact, its true form is a fire spirit snake that has become a spirit. Because its spirit is powerful, it is impossible to completely possess it in a short time. This requires a very long process, which may take thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years!"

Compared to us normal people, the concept of time is completely different for people who are already dead. The existence of this Zhulong may have been hundreds of thousands of years, or even longer!

This is why the Kangxi Emperor's tomb was hidden so deep and so dangerously, even requiring the entire nation to be buried alive with him—all to completely erase him from historical records, prevent him from being discovered by the world, and avoid jeopardizing his ascension to immortality!

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Haichuan gasped sharply, even conjuring up images of a Great Immortal descending to earth and the world being destroyed. He immediately followed up with, "Captain Chen, if this Prince Kang truly becomes an immortal, then..."

Chen Yibai guessed what Wang Haichuan was thinking, so before he could finish speaking, he shook his head and said, "This so-called 'becoming an immortal' is actually just a corpse transformation through soul transference. It's impossible for it to be as absurd as 'immortality'!"

At this point, Chen Yibai paused for a moment, then continued seriously, "But if the King of Kang really succeeds, in today's technological society, I dare not say what waves he could make, but if placed in the era of cold weapons thousands of years ago, he would definitely be an immortal or a god!"

Perhaps even King Kang himself could not have imagined that his painstaking efforts to seize the soul and return to the body would result in a change of times ten thousand years later.

Let alone ten thousand years, even if he were to successfully possess a soul and return to life now, the airplanes, cannons, and firearms outside are definitely not to be underestimated. So at most, he can only be a 'god' in his own territory. If he dares to show his face, he will die as soon as he sees the light!

"Captain Chen, what do we do now? Did you find the passage?"

Yan Wanlei, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, frowning as he looked at Chen Yibai and asked.

In fact, all of the above has only been said to have completely solved the mystery of the Kang King's Tomb, which can be considered an important archaeological achievement.

But now, the most important question facing everyone is: how can they get out of this Kangwang Tomb alive?

If we can't get out of here alive, all the knowledge we have will be completely useless!

Chen Yibai and Yan Wanlei looked at each other and shook their heads: "This area of ​​the Absolute Death Zone is larger than we imagined. A rope of more than a thousand meters is simply not enough. Even if the rope is long enough and we know the ventilation points, we still don't have enough time to get there!"

"what?"

Upon hearing Chen Yibai's words, Wang Haichuan, who had just been excited about obtaining a tremendous historical document, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine: "So, we're still going to die here?"

"Not necessarily!"

Chen Yibai turned his head again to look at the Dragon-Locking Pillar in the darkness. Having just risked his life to cross it and seen the Candle Dragon trapped on the pillar, a bold idea had formed in his mind. He said, "To get through this Deadly Abyss, we must first topple the Dragon-Locking Pillar! With our current equipment and strength, it's definitely impossible to topple such a large pillar! But it can help us..."

"Captain Chen, you mean, you want that Candle Dragon to help us knock down the Dragon-Locking Pillar?"

Yan Wanlei seemed to understand the meaning behind Chen Yibai's words, and asked with wide eyes in disbelief.

Chen Yibai squinted and nodded: "I just saw it. Four copper chains are connected to the backs of the four bixi (mythical tortoises) at the base of the dragon-locking pillar. Although the copper chains are very thick, the connection on the backs of the bixi is just a small buckle. This is because the bixi like to carry heavy loads, which restrains the Zhulong's ability. You only need to easily cut the buckle on the bixi's body to release the Zhulong on the dragon-locking pillar!"

The Candle Dragon harbors deep resentment towards this Dragon-Locking Pillar…

To put it simply, Chen Yibai meant to free Zhulong and make him an ally.

Chen Yibai continued, "But there are many uncertain dangers in doing this! First of all, the coffin of King Kang's tomb is on that dragon-locking pillar. If the dragon-locking pillar falls, the coffin will explode! King Kang has possessed the essence of the Candle Dragon for nearly four thousand years. Even if he hasn't achieved great success, we are like ants and mayflies in front of him..."

So we have to gamble! We're gambling that Zhulong can help us deal with King Kang after the coffin explosion, and without harming us! But how much strength does Zhulong, who has been possessed for thousands of years, still have left? Whether he can even handle King Kang is still an unknown…”

After hearing Chen Yibai's words, everyone understood that it would require countless possibilities to accumulate, which meant the odds were extremely slim.

If even one possibility is miscalculated, it will be a situation where certain death is inevitable.

First of all, if you release the Zhulong, it won't attack you, which already gives you a 50/50 chance.

"Captain Chen, logically speaking... this Zhulong has been trapped on the Dragon-Locking Pillar for thousands of years. If it cannot escape, and King Kang has taken over all its essence, wouldn't it be completely dead? Logically speaking, if we help it escape, it should help us, right?"

Yang Qingyun glanced at the direction of the Dragon-Locking Pillar in the darkness, then turned to look at Chen Yibai, frowning as she guessed.

Chen Yibai shrugged: "Haven't you heard the story of the farmer and the snake? The essence of the Candle Dragon is also a snake, a cold-blooded animal, so it's hard to say, we can only gamble!"

“Hu…Wuwu…”

Just as Chen Yibai finished speaking, a deep, muffled roar from the darkness of the Absolute Death Ground suddenly came from Zhulong. It was like rolling thunder, and it seemed to carry an aura of anger, making it hard to breathe.

At the same time, a green light shone again in the darkness.

Zhulong opened his eyes.

Although it was too far away to see the body of the Candle Dragon clearly, its open eyes revealed a sinister and chilling gaze that sent shivers down one's spine.

Done!

What a cold-blooded beast!
