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

hiss!

Chen Yibai stared at the female corpse laughing at him and instinctively gasped.

The slightly upturned corners of her mouth held a smile, which should have made her as beautiful as an angel, a beauty that could topple kingdoms, but she was a dead body, which gave people a creepy and eerie feeling.

This truly illustrates what it means to have a 'smirking expression that is more terrifying than a ferocious one'!

"A red-clad fiend, a smiling corpse! The sound of a ghost's laughter is nothing compared to the sound of a ghost's weeping."

This is the real red-clad, smiling corpse!

Chen Yibai subconsciously gasped, not out of fear, but out of surprise.

Although Chen Yibai had already predicted from the coffin's airtightness that the corpse inside was likely not decomposed and might have already risen from the dead before the coffin was opened.

But to my surprise, not only did it not decay, it was also preserved so well. Not only was its hot and voluptuous figure not deformed or out of shape, but its skin was also white, tender and shiny!

Then there must still be some flexibility, and it can still be used in some aspects?

What kind of miraculous anti-corrosion technology is this?

If they encountered a daring tomb raider, they might actually dare to lie down inside and try it out...

If I'm not mistaken, the smiling corpse in the coffin is most likely the empress of the Kangxi Emperor, right?

What puzzled Chen Yibai was that since the female corpse in the coffin had not decomposed, where did the stench of rotten fish and shrimp that he smelled when he opened the coffin come from?

That is, Chen Yibai was thinking about this matter.

Suddenly, the smiling female corpse's eyes snapped open, her round eyes wide and staring straight at Chen Yibai. Although her gaze was empty, the wicked smile on her lips was enough to scare anyone else in the room into suffocating.

"I rely on!"

Even Chen Yibai, who had seen many storms, was startled and involuntarily took a step back, raising his crimson ancient sword as if to strike her!

But as he raised the crimson ancient sword above his head, another thought suddenly occurred to Chen Yibai: "Wouldn't it be a pity to just kill the Empress of the Kang Dynasty with a single sword strike?"

"Maybe we can make use of it?"

Chen Yibai's eyes darted around, and he put down the crimson ancient sword, inserting it into the crack in the stone beneath his feet. Instead, he took out the corpse-suppressing nail from his body.

"Gluck... cluck..."

Then, the eerie, arrogant laughter that had been heard before rang out again, as piercing as a knife scraping against the eardrums.

This time it's confirmed: the laughter was coming from inside the woman's body.

This indicates that a very powerful vengeful spirit resides within the female corpse, even stronger than the vengeful spirit of the bronze-armored corpse in the inner coffin.

Fortunately, Chen Yibai not only digested the Yin Corpse Pill, but also inherited the bloodline of the Candle Dragon. Otherwise, with this powerful Yin spirit, he could directly interfere with and attack the minds of ordinary people.

Anyone with even slightly weak yang energy can be directly possessed by a yin spirit.

Amidst the maniacal laughter, the woman's originally fair skin was instantly covered with black lividity.

In the blink of an eye, as the black lividity on his face spread, the once elastic muscles rapidly shrank and decayed, and the upturned corners of his mouth turned into a twisted and ferocious expression.

They changed their expressions in an instant!

The stench of rotten fish and shrimp that I had smelled earlier was now even stronger and more pungent.

This is because the body oxidized rapidly after being exposed to air after the coffin was opened.

No matter how advanced the anti-corrosion technology is, it will oxidize once it comes into contact with air.

The next second, the female corpse, whose face had decomposed into a mummified corpse, suddenly stood up from the coffin, her empty eyes staring at Chen Yibai. She pounced on him with an even sharper, more arrogant laugh, her murderous aura overwhelming. This aura was even more ferocious than the bronze-armored corpse in the inner coffin.

But the Chen Yibai of today is not the same Chen Yibai who dealt with the bronze-armored corpse.

"The Crimson-Clad Fiend, the Smiling Corpse?"

Do you like to laugh?

"From now on, no more zongzi will be allowed to laugh in front of Captain Chen!"

Chen Yibai stared intently at the smiling female corpse, the corpse-suppressing nails he held tightly in his hand were already prepared.

Just as the smiling female corpse rushed in front of him, intending to use her sharp, long fingernails to dig open Chen Yibai's chest...

Chen Yibai suddenly kicked out with his leg, his toe landing squarely on the smiling female corpse's chin.

Bang!

Chen Yibai's kick was extremely powerful.

The smiling female corpse was kicked away and slammed heavily onto her gilded wooden coffin. She slid several meters on the ground before finally crashing into the stone wall at the deepest part of the niche.

The huge lacquered wooden coffin was smashed to pieces, and judging from the broken pieces of the coffin lid, it was actually made of Phoebe zhennan wood.

It seems that as early as the Xia and Shang dynasties, coffins were already being made of Phoebe zhennan wood.

If Wang Haichuan were there at that moment, he would definitely be heartbroken to see this scene.

"what……"

The smiling female corpse, who had only been handsome for a few seconds, got up from the ground. Gone was her previous wicked and arrogant laughter. Instead, she let out an angry and fierce scream at Chen Yibai.

Let alone a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling), even if it were a person, after being kicked like that in such a disheveled state, they probably wouldn't be able to laugh.

"I'll not only make you stop laughing, I'll make you cry!"

The smiling female corpse, who had just gotten up, only let out an angry scream. Before she could react, Chen Yibai had already rushed towards her. He was extremely fast and swift as an arrow. At the same time, the corpse-suppressing nail he was holding was precisely thrust into the Tianji acupoint on the back of the smiling female corpse.

The Seven Stars Suppressing Corpse technique is more than enough for a zombie of the level of the Smiling Female Corpse.

"what……"

The smiling female corpse, nailed into the corpse-suppressing nail, shuddered violently and let out another piercing scream.

But this was neither laughter nor an angry scream; it was a piercing scream!

It was a heart-wrenching, extremely pitiful scream.

The sound instantly reverberated throughout every corner of the cave.

The female corpse's entire face was twisted into a mask of pain as she tried to resist, but with the corpse-suppressing nail driven into her Tianji acupoint, half of her body was already restricted.

Chen Yibai would not give her any chance to resist or struggle. He quickly took out another corpse-suppressing nail and stabbed it heavily into the Tianquan acupoint on her waist.

"Ah...ah..."

The female corpse let out another series of shrill screams, a stark contrast to her earlier arrogant and wicked giggles.

Moreover, the transition between these two extremes took less than two minutes.

Otherwise, why would Chen Yibai feel so incredibly strong now?

A smiling corpse—for an ordinary tomb raider, this might be the ultimate form of terror.

However, for Chen Yibai now, all he needs is a set of Seven Star Corpse Suppression equipment, along with his current strength and speed, to easily take care of it.

If he were any faster, Chen Yibai felt that he could kill it instantly with the Crimson Ancient Sword without much trouble.

The reason why he didn't kill him instantly with the Crimson Ancient Sword was because Chen Yibai had other purposes!

At this moment, the smiling female corpse had been nailed to the Tianji and Tianquan acupoints by the corpse-suppressing nails, and her body was almost paralyzed on the ground, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

But for Chen Yibai, this was only the beginning of the game.

The third nail, Tianxuan!

Chen Yibai stepped on the female corpse's head and stabbed the third corpse-suppressing nail into the female corpse's Tianxuan acupoint.

As the twenty-centimeter-long corpse-suppressing nails were driven in, the female corpse's shrill screams pierced Chen Yibai's eardrums, causing a buzzing sound. Chen Yibai had to cover his ear with one hand, step on the female corpse, stand on the edge of the niche in the stone cave, and look down at the entire wide cave, his eyes carefully scanning as if searching for something.

That's right!

Chen Yibai is still looking for Prince Kang!

Logically speaking, this smiling female corpse was the empress of the Kangxi Dynasty. Even her burial rank was the highest, indicating that she held a position second only to the emperor in the Kangxi Dynasty.

If King Kang were truly of sound mind, as a man, he surely couldn't bear to see his woman being trampled on like this, right?

Anyone with a modicum of manly backbone would find it unbearable!

Chen Yibai admitted that his method of forcing Prince Kang out might have been a bit too despicable.

Chen Yibai even felt like he was a major villain...

But King Kang was not human; this could be considered acting on behalf of Heaven.

They've all acted on behalf of Heaven, so how can there be any talk of despicable behavior?

But after waiting for a while, the screams of the smiling female corpse continued to echo in the cave, but King Kang was still nowhere to be seen.

"Are you really that tolerant?"

"Your woman is in so much pain, and you're still hiding like a coward?"

Chen Yibai refused to believe it and took out the fourth corpse-suppressing nail, stabbing it into the Kaiyang acupoint of the smiling female corpse.

However, this time he didn't stab directly down, but instead stepped on the smiling female corpse's head and slowly stabbed down little by little.

This will prolong the pain of the smiling female corpse and extend the duration of her screams.

Would you call this necrophilia?

It shouldn’t count, right?

Anyway, no one saw it.

To achieve the goal, whatever means necessary!

I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me!

This was once the motto of a legendary tomb raider!

Meanwhile, on the ground below.

The archaeological team stared wide-eyed at the darkness above them. Since they couldn't see anything, they were horrified and completely bewildered by the woman's continuous, shrill screams.

Judging from the noise, it seems that a very fierce battle is taking place up there.

Furthermore, it seems that Captain Chen has the upper hand.

But something still feels off, like something's not quite right.

Logically speaking, such a shrill scream should have ended the battle quickly, right?

Even if it was torture and murder, the screams shouldn't have lasted this long, right?

What did Captain Chen do to the female corpse up there?

Although the archaeological team could not see what Captain Chen did to the female corpse from above.

However, a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness were secretly watching Chen Yibai. His deep gaze was like a stagnant pool, concealing anger and hatred...
