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

Why does this feeling seem so familiar?

It seems a bit the same as it was four thousand years ago, doesn't it?

"Despicable humans! Truly despicable humans!"

As Chen Yibai listened to the roars of the Candle Dragon, filled with fury, unease, and fear, he felt as if he understood what it was saying.

How despicable! This is the best quality humans possess for survival; otherwise, how could they have become the rulers of the Earth?

If you don't even understand this, how are you supposed to survive in this world?

"Let me see just how sharp this sword really is!"

Chen Yibai gritted his teeth and shouted, gripping the sword hilt tightly with both hands. He kicked Zhulong in the back with one foot and pulled it out with all his might.

Coincidentally.

Just now, Zhulong's two claws pierced through the chest and back of the copper-armored ghost at the same time, originally intending to perform a demonstration of tearing copper armor apart with bare hands.

However, I didn't expect that while piercing the copper armor was easy, tearing it apart was difficult. I tried once but failed.

puff!

Taking advantage of that half-second gap, Chen Yibai seized the opportunity and, with a 'poof', pulled out all the longswords stuck in the spine of the Candle Dragon.

The entire longsword was crimson red, with a blade three fingers wide and nearly a meter long. It was engraved with densely packed incantations and demonic beast patterns. It was double-edged, with the blade gleaming with a sharp, cold light and stained with dark green blood.

In fact, as early as the Xia and Shang dynasties, sword-making technology had already reached its peak, and the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, was merely a small piece of equipment.

It wasn't just about selecting materials and forging; the ancients would also use all-powerful incantations and forbidden arts to enhance the effects of the forged swords!

The crimson longsword was made of some unknown material; it felt neither too light nor too heavy, and it was much sharper than Chen Yibai had imagined.

Chen Yibai had put in all his strength, but before he could even use half of it, he pulled the sword out of the thick-skinned Zhulong with remarkable ease.

At the same time, as the longsword was pulled out, a stream of dark green blood gushed out from the wound on Zhulong's spine.

It's called blood, but judging by its viscosity, it looks more like bone marrow flowing from the spine!

"Ouch...ow..."

As Chen Yibai drew his sword, Zhulong instantly stiffened, then looked up and let out a painful, mournful cry.

This sound was much more pleasant than its previous deep roar, and even felt more stimulating and enjoyable than a woman's moaning!

Meanwhile, on the archaeological team's side...

Because Chen Yibai attacked from behind, no one knew what had happened. They only heard Zhulong suddenly change from a furious roar to a cry of pain.

Could it be that it's done?

"If it really works, I'll immediately go over and kneel down before Captain Chen, and kowtow three times..."

Wang Haichuan looked at Zhulong, who had stiffened and was now looking up in pain, and silently muttered to himself, feeling tense.

With a cry of pain, Zhulong's stiff body swayed and collapsed like a mountain with a loud 'boom'.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, wanting to see the details, but the next second everything went black as the entire space was swallowed by darkness once again.

This means that Zhulong has closed its eyes!

Does closing your eyes mean you're dead?

At this moment, everyone was overjoyed for the first time because of the Dark Reward.

And they were all praying in their hearts, that the darkness would continue forever, and that the light would never come out again.

On Chen Yibai's side.

The endless darkness before him did not make Chen Yibai relax.

Caution! This is the most basic characteristic of tomb raiders.

Never be careless in anything!

Even a fool could guess that pulling a sword out of the spine would cause the body to collapse instantly from the pain, but for Zhulong, it would never be an instant fatal blow.

Therefore, Zhulong is definitely not dead yet; there must be something fishy going on with his eyes closed!

Without the slightest hesitation or pause, Chen Yibai drew his sword and watched Zhulong fall. Even though it was pitch black, he could roughly estimate the location of Zhulong's neck after it fell. Immediately filled with murderous intent, he rushed towards Zhulong's head in the dark.

Just as Chen Yibai felt he was about to reach the head of the Candle Dragon, the green light suddenly shone again.

The Candle Dragon, lying on the ground, suddenly opened its vertical eye, still staring at Chen Yibai with a sinister and raging anger. At the same time, one of its arms had been secretly raised when it was plunged into darkness, and it slammed down on Chen Yibai like Mount Tai.

However, Chen Yibai was not frightened by this sudden scene, and had already prepared himself mentally.

I'm playing a game of feigning surrender with you.

Are you trying to pull a zombie act on me?

If you're going to resort to underhanded tactics, then I'm really sorry.

Although you are an old beast who has been around for thousands of years, when it comes to scheming, you are just like a toddler learning to speak!

Chen Yibai raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a strange smile. Because he had taken precautions in advance, he instantly turned around and retreated, anticipating Zhulong's prediction and making a feint.

Zhulong raised his arm and slapped empty air next to his forehead, sending a flurry of bones flying across the ground.

Before Zhulong could react again, Chen Yibai leaped up once more, quickly rushing to Zhulong's head and raising his longsword high with both hands.

that moment.

Chen Yibai saw the true fear in Zhulong's eyes, even his pupils were dilating.

However, due to the severe spinal injury, he was unable to move his upper body for a while, and it was too late for his arm to react after slapping him down.

click!

Swords rise and blades fall!

The longsword in Chen Yibai's hand, gleaming with a sharp, cold light, landed on Zhulong's neck.

It has a strong presence, but its actual strength is not that great.

After all, Chen Yibai is just a mortal, and with his internal organs damaged and his arms aching, he probably wouldn't be able to exert even a hundred pounds of strength.

However, in the face of absolute sharpness, strength seems insignificant.

The crimson sword fell on the neck of the Candle Dragon, instantly slicing through its rough skin like a devastating blow, cutting through flesh and bones, decapitating and dismembering it!

Gululu...

Dark green blood gushed out like a tap turned on, spraying from the severed neck of the dragon, instantly filling the air with an indescribable, pungent smell of blood.

The enormous head of the Candle Dragon that had been severed still stared intently at Chen Yibai, its gaze fixed on anger, resentment, and fear. As the green light slowly faded, darkness once again swallowed everything before them.

It seems like this is the real end.

Zhulong could never have imagined that it would fall victim to human schemes and plots twice in a row...

The first time he was tricked, he was imprisoned on the Dragon-Locking Pillar for four thousand years.

They finally managed to escape, only to be tricked and killed...

call!

This time, Chen Yibai was finally able to relax completely and slumped to the ground.

Although he had managed to defeat Zhulong, Chen Yibai also felt that he had paid a heavy price for it. His internal organs were in excruciating pain, and he was vomiting blood from time to time.

This must be a serious internal injury. Maybe the internal organs are damaged. Otherwise, where would all this blood come from?

Especially in my chest, the pain is excruciating and feels extremely tight.

Could it be a one-for-one trade?

"Captain Chen...Captain Chen..."

In the darkness, I heard Yan Wanlei and Wang Haichuan calling out behind me.

Chen Yibai wanted to respond.

But as soon as I opened my mouth, I felt a tightness in my chest and couldn't muster any strength at all. I even felt like my strength was being slowly drained away, and I was swaying as I sat on the ground.

Could it be... that we're really doomed?

Looking at the endless darkness before him, Chen Yibai felt alright; at least he had had a moment of glory...

That is, when Chen Yibai wanted to close his eyes and completely relax.

Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint green light in the darkness.

Chen Yibai thought he was hallucinating.

However, upon closer inspection of the green light, it was the severed head of Zhulong, and something inside seemed to be emitting a faint green light from the cut...
