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

"Captain Chen, these bronze-armored demons...it looks like we can't beat them..."

At this moment, the entire archaeological team had retreated to the cave entrance. Watching the fierce battle between the bronze-armored ghosts and the Zhulong, they clenched their fists nervously, their hearts pounding in their throats.

Because in a sense, the archaeological team's lives were entirely tied to these bronze-armored demons.

Naturally, everyone hopes that the Copper Armored Ghost can win.

However, the current situation does not seem optimistic.

The Copper-Armored Ghosts were numerous and ferocious, but compared to the massive Zhulong, they were like a swarm of large black ants. Coupled with Zhulong's thick skin and strong defense, they couldn't cause any real damage.

On the contrary, Zhulong, with its massive body and thick hide, almost completely dominated the situation.

"Captain Chen, while we still have time, why don't we run?"

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Wang Haichuan hurriedly made a suggestion.

"Where to run?"

Chen Yibai frowned and asked a question in return.

"Past……"

Wang Haichuan had just opened his mouth when his mind suddenly went blank.

Yes! Wang Haichuan was only thinking about running, but where could he run to?

There is no way out. You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. In the end, you still can't escape death. It's just that you might die in a different way.

If they rush forward, and are targeted by the Candle Dragon, those copper-armored ghosts won't be able to stop them at all and will definitely die even faster.

Facing the Fire Serpent King at the sacrificial altar was one example.

Since the Fire Serpent King has a strong sense of self and a very intelligent brain, then this Candle Dragon is even more so.

There's nowhere to run, so we can't keep pinning all our hopes for survival on those bronze-armored demons, can we?

Judging from the current situation, it's only a matter of time before Zhulong takes care of all the bronze-armored ghosts.

Isn't this tantamount to sitting and waiting for death?

"Roar……"

Just then, Zhulong seemed to grow impatient with the surrounding bronze-armored demons. He also realized that simply charging around wouldn't kill them. Suddenly, with a low, furious roar, he swung his thick arms and extended his sharp, fan-like claws, grabbing two bronze-armored demons by the scruff of their necks like chickens, and slammed them together violently!

Bang!

The two bronze-armored demons were struck so hard that sparks flew, and a large dent appeared in their chests. They were then lifted high and, with a furious roar from the Candle Dragon, were slammed heavily to the ground with a 'boom,' sending bones and rubble flying everywhere.

Those two suits of bronze armor were like cucumbers on a chopping board, shriveled up and reduced to two bronze bookmarks.

A dark shadow drifted out from the gap in the dented bronze armor.

The archaeological team had already lost heart, still praying that these bronze-armored demons might pull off a miracle to turn the tide.

Then, witnessing such a brutal scene, the remaining half of the carcass also became completely cold.

A single slap crushed the bronze armor—what kind of power is that?

As expected of something recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, if it could take care of all these bronze-armored demons, wouldn't the entire archaeological team be wiped out with a single slap in front of it?

What made the archaeological team even more desperate was that Zhulong seemed quite satisfied with the method he had used to deal with the bronze-armored demon, and continued to use the same method, grabbing the bronze-armored demon and first ramming it and then slapping it...

Those bronze-armored demons had no independent consciousness; they were like machines programmed with attacks, unafraid of death and not dodging.

Even Chen Yibai, seeing this scene, had a strong premonition that the archaeological team didn't have much time left!

At this moment, although most of the archaeological team members were filled with despair and fear, Chen Yibai's expression was unusually calm and composed, his eyes holding an unfathomable depth as he stared intently at the frenzied Zhulong.

Chen Yibai's calmness did not stem from having devised a good solution.

Instead, you need to calm your mind first and not let external fears interfere with your thinking.

Staying calm and composed in the face of danger is a crucial quality that any true master tomb raider must possess!

First of all, everything in the universe is interconnected and mutually restraining; everything has its flaws, that is absolute.

The Fire Serpent King has reverse scales growing on its seven-inch-long belly, which is a good example.

However, there is no record of dealing with Zhulong in the Tomb Raiders' Chronicles.

The description of Zhulong in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is only two simple sentences.

Therefore, Chen Yibai is now able to try to find Zhulong's weaknesses and vulnerabilities through on-site observation.

A snake has a seven-inch spot, which is its fatal weakness, because the snake's heart is located at the seven-inch spot!

Although Zhulong is essentially a snake, its upper body is humanoid, and its heart is located in its chest, so there is no such thing as a 'seven-inch weakness'.

To hit its heart, just go up and stab it in the chest.

Not to mention the hard and rough skin on the upper body of the Candle Dragon, even the Copper Armored Ghost with its superhuman strength couldn't split it open with its sharp copper axe.

Even the heart area on the chest of the Candle Dragon had a fragile reverse scale.

The upper body of the Candle Dragon alone is nearly ten meters long, roughly the height of a three-story building, which is beyond the reach of most people.

Is it really true that there are no flaws that can be exploited?

As time passed, the frenzied Candle Dragon became like a killing machine. With a series of deep roars, it had crushed nearly twenty of the Copper Armored Ghosts.

With the number of bronze-armored demons nearly halved, it felt like a countdown to death for the archaeological team.

After the Copper Armored Demon, it will be my turn.

"No! No..."

Wang Haichuan's face turned pale as he looked at Chen Yibai and said, "Captain Chen, we definitely can't wait any longer. Let's charge! If we charge now, maybe the Candle Dragon won't be targeting us, and we'll still have a chance. But if we wait until all those bronze-armored ghosts are exhausted, we won't even have a chance to charge!"

After saying that, Wang Haichuan didn't even wait for Chen Yibai's reply before shouting at Yan Wanlei, "I'm the commander-in-chief of the archaeological team, everyone listen to me now! Charge! Life and death are up to fate..."

In fact, what Wang Haichuan said wasn't entirely unreasonable.

Charging now is risky, but even a one in ten thousand chance of survival is still a chance to escape.

If we continue to waste time here, and wait until the Copper Armored Ghosts are all dealt with by the Candle Dragon, we won't even have a one in ten thousand chance.

This was the first time Wang Haichuan had used his position as the chief archaeologist to direct the entire operation.

And the first time was when he was the commander who decided the fate of the entire team.

However, Yan Wanlei did not immediately obey Wang Haichuan's command. Instead, he stared intently at Chen Yibai, waiting for Chen Yibai to speak.

Without a doubt, Chen Yibai has long since become the backbone of the team with his strength.

Although Wang Haichuan held the title of chief commander of the archaeological team, he was actually not very influential in the eyes of the people.

Therefore, this life-or-death decision must be made by Chen Yibai.

As soon as Chen Yibai said "Charge!", Yan Wanlei immediately led his team to charge!

At this moment, Chen Yibai frowned solemnly, neither shaking his head nor nodding.

Because there's a one in ten thousand chance of escaping if you rush in now, and even a one in ten thousand chance is still a chance.

Chen Yibai couldn't think of a better way than rushing over there.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Chen Yibai had no right to stop them from seizing this one in ten thousand chance of escape. He simply said, "Go ahead and charge if you want, I'm not going!"

"Captain Chen, do you have a better idea?"

Upon hearing Chen Yibai's words, Yan Wanlei immediately widened his eyes and asked a question.

Chen Yibai shook his head: "No!"

"Then why not charge? Doesn't not charging mean just standing here waiting to die?"

Yan Wanlei, not understanding what he meant, asked loudly.

Chen Yibai shook his head again: "Not necessarily. The Copper Armor Ghost is still holding on, isn't he? There's still time. I'm still thinking of a way!"

Finally, Chen Yibai met Yan Wanlei's gaze with unwavering determination and said, "I don't believe in luck, I only believe in myself!"
