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

Clang! Clang!

Acting definitely requires a full performance, and the acting skills must be realistic!

Chen Yibai was also a master of acting, his expression fierce and focused, gritting his teeth as he unleashed a series of powerful sword strikes on the bronze-armored ghost, silently telling Zhulong through his actions: "Brother, I'm on your side, I'm here to help you..."

Fortunately, under Chen Yibai's spiritual guidance, these bronze-armored demons only targeted the Candle Dragon, allowing Chen Yibai's bronze sword to strike their bodies without offering any resistance or defense.

As for Zhulong, although its terrifying and ferocious face still had a sinister and cold look in its vertical eyes, when its gaze fell on Chen Yibai, seeing Chen Yibai's fierce expression and a kind of fearless and courageous momentum as he frantically slashed at the copper-armored ghost, it really ignored Chen Yibai.

After all, the archaeological team never showed any malice towards Zhulong.

Animals are animals after all. Even if they've lived for 100,000 years, without experiencing the trials and tribulations of society, they're like frogs at the bottom of a well. How could they possibly understand the wickedness of human nature?

To put it another way, let alone animals, even a human would never guess that this was a trick, given Chen Yibai's incredibly realistic acting skills!

Chen Yibai was overjoyed to see that this tactic was effective!

However, this effort to help and try to please is far from enough!

Since it's about pleasing others, we'll definitely have to resort to some self-inflicted suffering!

Sheath your sword.

Chen Yibai just happened to see an opportunity.

One of the bronze-armored demons raised his bronze halberd high, his momentum unstoppable, and thrust it straight at the Candle Dragon.

Even though Chen Yibai bravely stepped forward to block the way, if he wanted to achieve great things, he had to put himself in a life-or-death situation first!

Even if it's acting, the self-inflicted injury should be made to look real.

Keng!

Chen Yibai rushed forward and used his body to block the long spear thrust out by the bronze-armored ghost.

With the strength of a copper-armored ghost, even if it were covered in snakeskin scales, it would definitely not be able to withstand a direct confrontation. The shock could shatter its internal organs and break its ribs. Therefore, Chen Yibai deliberately calculated the angle, and his long spear brushed past him, close to the side of his body.

Although it was just a brush, a powerful force slammed Chen Yibai heavily to the ground. If he had made even the slightest mistake, he might have messed things up and died by his own hand.

Chen Yibai, who had fallen to the ground, quickly bit his lip and spat out a few mouthfuls of bloody foam that hung around his mouth.

Chen Yibai: "Brother Long, do you think I'm... loyal enough to you?"

Zhulong: "You little rascal, you really are something else!"

"Roar!"

Zhulong glanced at Chen Yibai, who was covered in blood and foam at the corner of his mouth, and roared angrily. He raised his arm and slammed his sharp claws heavily onto the bronze-armored ghost holding a long spear.

The bronze-armored demon wielding a long spear was instantly smashed into a pile of broken copper and iron.

Copper-Armored Ghost: "Brother, you can't do this to people! Who's fighting whom? Who's on whose side?"

Chen Yibai: "Dude, you've worked hard. For my important matter, you'll have to make a small sacrifice..."

Chen Yibai has completely grasped Zhulong's psychology.

As mentioned before, this beast that has become a spirit loves to enjoy the respect and offerings of humans.

He was willing to risk his life to shield himself from the knife, and the more seriously injured he was, the more it satisfied Zhulong's sense of pride.

This is the only way to win over Zhulong more quickly, gain his trust, and get closer to him.

But this is definitely not a way to survive.

The satisfaction that Zhulong found was only temporary.

Because of their hatred for humanity, after all the bronze-armored demons are dealt with, they will definitely still target Chen Yibai in the end.

It's like a prostitute; once the passion fades, she'll turn on you and refuse to acknowledge you.

So, while there are still seven or eight Copper Armored Ghosts left, Chen Yibai needs to take another risk.

Just in time, another opportunity has arisen!

A bronze-armored demon circled behind Zhulong, raised a bronze axe, and swept it horizontally towards Zhulong's tail.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Yibai licked the blood from his lips, smelled the stench of blood, gripped his bronze sword tightly, and leaped forward to block the attack.

This time, they truly faced it head-on.

Keng!

The sweeping bronze axe blade struck the bronze sword in Chen Yibai's hand, producing a deafening clang of metal colliding with stone.

The bronze sword in Chen Yibai's hand was instantly cut into several pieces. His arms and entire upper body were also numb and painful from the shock. Even his internal organs felt a violent tremor. At the same time, his body was sent flying straight away by the huge impact, like a cannonball, and crashed heavily to the ground.

puff!

Chen Yibai suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling a tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing, the blood in his throat tasted bitter.

This time, the vomiting of blood wasn't an act; it was real!

It was also Chen Yibai who deliberately took a gamble and blocked it head-on.

As the saying goes, to achieve great things, one must first put oneself in a life-or-death situation.

Just as Chen Yibai had predicted, his body was sent flying and landed right on Zhulong's back.

Chen Yibai had already seen the sword hilt stuck in the spine and tailbone of the Zhulong, and it was right in front of him!

But Chen Yibai was not in a hurry to fight.

As the saying goes, "A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!"

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so we must remain calm and only do things that we are 100% certain of success!

as predicted!

Just like Chen Yibai thought!

Zhulong realized that Chen Yibai had been knocked away and his body had crashed behind it.

As if on guard, Zhulong suddenly turned around, his eyes glancing downwards. He saw Chen Yibai lying on the ground, limbs limp, blood gushing from his mouth, his eyes half-closed, as if he were about to die.

Humans were willing to sacrifice their lives to shield themselves from harm, and the spirit of Zhulong was once again greatly satisfied.

Chen Yibai: "Brother Long, can you sense... my loyalty to you?"

Zhulong: "You little brat, who are you?!"

Zhulong glanced at Chen Yibai, and seeing that Chen Yibai was indeed not in good shape, he lowered his guard and turned his body forward again, roaring as he reached out and grabbed a bronze-armored ghost.

This time, Zhulong pierced the bronze-armored ghost's chest with its sharp five claws, as if preparing to torment it. It lifted the ghost high, while the five claws of its other hand pierced the bronze-armored ghost from behind.

Just then, the opportunity came!

Lying on the ground, seemingly on the verge of death, Chen Yibai suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the hilt of the sword behind Zhulong. He gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain throughout his body and the numbness in his arms. Taking advantage of the fact that Zhulong's attention was entirely focused on the Copper Armored Ghost, he suddenly stood up and reached out to grab the hilt of the sword!

The hilt of this sword is like the reverse scale of a candle dragon.

"Roar!"

The moment Chen Yibai grasped the sword hilt, the Candle Dragon immediately sensed it and let out a hysterical roar. At that moment, even its originally sinister and cold eyes changed.

He became flustered, uneasy, fearful, and also felt irritable and angry after being deceived: "You little brat, you actually tricked me!"
