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

As the Essence Pill seemed to be digested in my stomach into a warm current, it then spread throughout my body, making me feel hot.

At the same time, the abdominal pain became increasingly intense, as if I had taken a laxative, and my stomach and intestines were churning and gurgling violently.

"It seems this stuff really can't be taken internally!"

Chen Yibai bent over, clutching his stomach, and originally wanted to grit his teeth and bear it a little longer.

But the diarrhea was getting stronger and stronger, like a bomb about to explode in his stomach, making Chen Yibai's hair stand on end and giving him goosebumps.

"It's no use! Shanhaiguan cannot be defended..."

Chen Yibai looked around; the endless darkness was so thick he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face. Since no one could see him anyway, he quickly got up, clutching his stomach, and ran a dozen meters in one direction before opening the floodgates…

Then, from the deathly silence of the darkness came the sounds of: "Pfft... Clap clap clap..."

"Professor Wang, did you hear that sound?"

On the archaeological team's side, everyone was anxiously waiting for Xiao Hu to return with the fire. At the same time, they stared wide-eyed into the darkness ahead, listening intently for any sounds from within, hoping to suddenly hear Chen Yibai's response.

Instead of hearing Chen Yibai's response, he suddenly heard a series of "poof, slap slap slap" sounds coming from the darkness ahead.

The sound was extremely eerie in the pitch-black darkness, startling the archaeological team who had just relaxed.

Yang Qingyun, in particular, was so frightened by the sound that her scalp tingled, and she muttered in a trembling voice, "Is something grinning at us?"

Can you tell that's a sinister laugh?

That's really a bit outrageous...

Wang Haichuan seemed to have made a connection as well, and said nervously, "Could it be... that Prince Kang has risen from the dead? I seem to have heard Captain Chen mention that there is a very large coffin standing at the very top of the Dragon-Locking Pillar!"

"what?"

Upon hearing Yang Qingyun's words, the already tense atmosphere among the crowd became even more strained.

We just dealt with the Candle Dragon, but Captain Chen's fate is still unknown. If another zombie comes along, it seems this archaeological expedition is really going to be a complete wipeout!

"Professor Wang, something's not right. This doesn't sound like the sound a rice dumpling is making."

Yan Wanlei frowned and shook his head.

Professor Wang, his face instantly transforming into one of expert knowledge, said, "Captain Yan, that's not necessarily true. Based on our years of research experience with ancient corpses, ancient corpses can produce all sorts of sounds due to the degeneration of their vocal cord muscles. For example, just now, the 'poof... 'slap slap slap' sound..."

Wang Haichuan spoke with great emotion and seemed very professional.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became tense, with all the experts, scholars, and special operations team members discussing and studying what exactly the sound they had just heard was.

Finally, a consensus was reached that it was highly likely that King Kang had risen from the dead!

"Captain Yan...the torch is here..."

A few minutes later, several special operations team members jogged back, carrying torches high.

The flames of the burning torches pierced the darkness, illuminating the surroundings and casting shadows onto the stone walls of the cave beside them.

However, although the torches have arrived, everyone is still a bit scared by the sound they heard earlier.

What if King Kang really did rise from the dead? Wouldn't it be very dangerous inside now?

Everyone looked at each other.

Finally, Yan Wanlei gritted his teeth, looked at Wang Haichuan, and said, "Professor Wang, you wait here for a moment, I'll take some people over to take a look!"

Despite the potential dangers lurking in the darkness, Yan Wanlei carefully considered his options and decided to risk going in to find Chen Yibai.

Yan Wanlei knew that Chen Yibai was injured, but the extent of the injury was uncertain. However, the sooner they found him, the greater the chance of rescuing him.

Meanwhile, on Chen Yibai's side...

After the floodgates were opened and the water was released, Chen Yibai felt an unprecedented sense of relief and ease, as if he had expelled all the pain from his body. His whole body felt much lighter, and the pain in his internal organs was gone.

More importantly, Chen Yibai also felt much more energetic and full of vitality.

It's just that my whole body is still burning hot.

This obvious change gave Chen Yibai a vague but good feeling.

"Taking the Essence Pill internally seems to have miraculous effects, except for causing diarrhea! My back pain has subsided, my legs are no longer sore, my breathing has gradually become more stable, and even my mental state seems to be much better than before."

"Could it be that the internal gamble paid off?"

After quickly cleaning up, Chen Yibai pulled up his pants and looked down. The ground was filthy. After searching carefully, he couldn't find the Essence Pill he had just swallowed.

In other words, the essence pill remained in the body and was not excreted.

It might have been quickly digested by the body...

Wait!

Something's not right! Something's not right!

Chen Yibai's expression changed drastically. He suddenly looked up, his big eyes wide open, staring straight ahead.

This irregularly shaped cave was probably the size of two football fields, and it was littered with corpses, like the deepest hell. In the very center, the Dragon-Locking Pillar had collapsed into a pile of rubble, and about ten meters away was the mess left behind after the fierce battle between the Candle Dragon and the Copper-Armored Ghost.

There was also the corpse of Zhulong, who had been beheaded by a single sword strike, with his body in one place and his head split in two in another.

All of this seems to be normal.

But something's not right. Since Zhulong is already dead, his head has been split in half like a watermelon.

What was that green light that Chen Yibai saw again?

Indeed, everything Chen Yibai saw at that moment was green.

It's exactly the same visual effect as when Zhulong was alive, when he opened his eyes and the green light emanating from them illuminated the entire darkness!

But Zhulong is already dead, so where did this green light come from?

Just seconds before, Chen Yibai was surrounded by complete darkness.

It was only a blink of an eye, and everything had changed!

"Could it be..."

Chen Yibai rubbed his eyes, his expression strange and surprised, but he couldn't be 100% sure.

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

"Captain Chen..."

Just then, Yan Wanlei's tense shouts came from beside him.

Chen Yibai turned around abruptly, following the sound, and looked in the direction Yan Wanlei had come from.

Yan Wanlei led a special operations team of six, each carrying a torch, as if groping in the dark, carefully feeling their way forward.

Seeing this, Chen Yibai was finally 100% certain.

This green light is definitely a problem with my own eyes.

Unexpectedly, after swallowing Zhulong's essence pill, I unexpectedly inherited Zhulong's night vision ability!

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be..."

"The power of bloodline inheritance, perhaps?"
