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

For Chen Yibai, his life must be in his own hands; he cannot leave it to fate.

Although he had not yet found a weakness in Zhulong, Chen Yibai was certain that there was one!

Why are you so certain?

Because the Candle Dragon was trapped on the Dragon-Locking Pillar, King Kang possessed its essence from four thousand years ago, which is why it still has its current power.

Without a doubt, the Zhulong at its peak of power four thousand years ago must have been even more ferocious.

Four thousand years ago was the era of cold weapons. The ancient people at that time were able to use copper chains to bind it to the dragon-locking pillar. It was absolutely impossible that they used a human wave tactic. They must have known the weakness of the Candle Dragon!

If we were to use sheer numbers to deal with Zhulong from four thousand years ago, let alone the entire Kang Dynasty, a single state of the Shang Dynasty, even if we added ten more, it would probably only be a matter of time before Zhulong defeated them.

Therefore, Chen Yibai resolutely chose to use his last remaining time to try his best to find a way to deal with Zhulong, rather than gambling on an extremely slim chance of escape.

Yan Wanlei was stunned when he heard Chen Yibai say, "I don't believe in luck, I only believe in myself."

The implication is that there's no immediate solution, but they are confident they will find a way...

That mysterious confidence is truly captivating!

But the key question now is whether to trust Chen Yibai or gamble on a one in ten thousand chance.

Should she entrust her life to Chen Yibai, or take a gamble?

It's such a difficult choice!

Not only Yan Wanlei, but everyone in the archaeological team was facing this dilemma at this time.

Chen Yibai remained silent throughout. Their fates were in their own hands and choices. After all, it was something he couldn't be sure of, so he wouldn't try to persuade them to place their hopes on him, much less stop them from charging forward.

"Professor Wang, I'm sorry, although you are the commander-in-chief, I can't listen to you this time. I'm with Lieutenant Chen!"

After careful consideration, Yan Wanlei made a resolute decision to trust Chen Yibai.

There was no reason, just a simple intuition. It was more reliable to put my life on Chen Yibai's shoulders than to risk that one in ten thousand chance.

As the captain of the special operations team, the other special operations team members must follow him unconditionally.

Wang Haichuan had gritted his teeth and mustered his courage to charge forward, but his orders as the chief archaeologist were no longer effective.

Without the protection of the special operations team, what's the point of charging in?

"Professor Wang, I...I want to be with Captain Chen too..."

Yang Qingyun, who was standing next to him, also said something with a serious expression.

Unlike Yan Wanlei's thoughts, Chen Yibai's words just now touched Yang Qingyun deeply. It's better to believe in yourself than in luck!

You must take your life into your own hands!

Yang Qingyun's so-called belief in herself is actually belief in Chen Yibai!

"OK then……"

Wang Haichuan saw that everyone had placed their bets on Chen Yibai. Although he was the chief archaeologist, he felt somewhat embarrassed that his first command had been ignored.

But we have no choice but to obey the crowd.

Otherwise, I can't just risk my life and charge in, can I?

On the other hand, after hearing what Chen Yibai said, Wang Haichuan also lost the courage to charge forward.

Chen Yibai felt immense pressure looking at the hopeful eyes that everyone was casting at him.

At this time, the Copper Armored Ghosts had already consumed nearly half of their strength, leaving only about twenty of them, who were still stubbornly besieging the Candle Dragon.

The frenzied Zhulong seemed to have gone mad, its terrifying face contorted with rage, its eyes fierce and sinister, its deep, angry roar deafening, as it frantically waved its arms at the copper-armored ghost.

Chen Yibai knew that he had to come up with a way to deal with Zhulong before the Copper Armor Ghost was completely exhausted, because the Copper Armor Ghost might still be useful in other ways.

Even if we come up with a way to deal with the Candle Dragon after the Copper Armored Ghosts are exhausted, we probably won't be able to use it with just myself and the archaeological team of a few people!

"Four thousand years ago, in the era of cold weapons, the ancients were able to trap this beast on the dragon-locking pillar. It must have a weakness!"

Chen Yibai calmed his mind and focused on observing Zhulong's every move.

"Captain Chen, could it be the ancient incantation technique you mentioned before? Even if we knew about it, we wouldn't know how to use it, would we?"

Yan Wanlei continued, "..."

Chen Yibai had thought about this before.

Chen Yibai shook his head: "Impossible. The forbidden Zhuyou technique is not a magic that can ascend to heaven or descend to earth. Otherwise, the world would not be the way it is now. The ancients must have known the weakness of the Candle Dragon. They used a certain method to trap the Candle Dragon on the Dragon-Locking Pillar and then used the forbidden Zhuyou technique to capture the Candle Dragon's soul and possess it!"

"But the key is that we don't know how to break the Candle Dragon, or how to capture it!"

Yang Qingyun interjected.

"try to find!"

Chen Yibai's eyes, which had been slightly brooding, suddenly closed, as if he was recalling or thinking about something.

"How to find it?"

Yan Wanlei saw Chen Yibai suddenly close his eyes and assumed he was thinking of a way to deal with Zhulong.

"When we came in, we saw those murals on the bronze doors and stone walls! The ancients loved to record important events on murals, and maybe they even showed how they dealt with the Candle Dragon!"

With his eyes closed, Chen Yibai tried hard to recall the murals he had seen on the bronze gate and stone wall when he arrived.

Yang Qingyun frowned deeply: "But when we came here, weren't all the murals about worshipping Zhulong?"

Yan Wanlei nodded in agreement: "That's right, I remember that in every mural, the Candle Dragon appears as a deity!"

Chen Yibai shook his head and denied it, saying, "No! What we saw at the time was just what we thought with normal thinking! Maybe those murals, which on the surface seem to be about sacrifices, actually have other hidden meanings!"

Since ancient times, people have liked to record the most important events of their lives in their tombs through paintings, regarding them as a kind of achievement and glory!

The capture of Zhulong alive, and the subsequent binding of him to the Dragon-Locking Pillar with copper chains—such a significant achievement could not be overlooked, but for the sake of his reputation, he couldn't simply draw out the process…

At this point, Yan Wanlei suddenly realized something and continued, "So at the time, they used a very subtle method to make us mistake the scene we saw for a sacrifice, when in fact they were subduing the Candle Dragon?"

Chen Yibai nodded solemnly: "King Kang outwardly worshipped and sacrificed to the mountain god Zhulong, but secretly he was trying to possess Zhulong's soul and return him to his body. Even if it was for the sake of reputation, it's unlikely that all the content in those murals was simply about worshipping Zhulong! So this possibility is extremely high!"
