Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Because there were many people in front, and it had been dark all along, the people behind couldn't see clearly. Some people curiously looked at the large white objects in the jade chamber at the end of the meteorite.

Someone in the queue uttered the curious question they had just heard.

"What is it? You'll know when you get closer and see for yourselves."

In response to the previous question, Qin Henian calmly steered the conversation to the main point, pointing to the large white cocoons in the jade room.

Upon hearing this, the crowd dispersed, with Wu Xie, Jie Yuchen, and Wang Pangzi forming the best trio. They approached together, shining their flashlights and carefully moving closer...

Getting closer, the fine white threads coiled into a thick pile, forming a large cocoon in front of me. Now, no one needed to ask; anyone with eyes could see that this was a large cocoon, only wondering what was inside.

"What's inside these huge cocoons? I don't think any insect would wrap itself up like that and then emerge as a butterfly, right?"

Wu Xie racked his brains, trying to figure out what kind of insect could be inside such a large cocoon. For a moment, his mind went blank, stuck in a misunderstanding.

Following Wu Xie's train of thought, Wang Pangzi and Xie Yuchen's thoughts developed in two different directions. Before long, they both shook their heads and continued to observe.

Qin Henian, Zhang Qilin, and Hei Xiazi were standing in front of another large white cocoon, ready to get to work.

"Which of us three should go first?"

Qin Henian asked a question.

"The blind man is here! He's a master's graduate in anatomy from a prestigious foreign university! He's perfect for this kind of work!"

Black Bear pulled out a dagger, smaller than the one he usually used, from behind his waist. He twirled it between his fingers, his gaze sweeping over the large callus in front of him, as if deciding where to begin dissecting it.

Sizzle! Sizzle... Sizzle...

The cocoon silk was sliced ​​open layer by layer from the outside in, each layer bursting open to reveal layers of white silk inside. The sizzling sound continued as the thick cocoon silk was peeled away layer by layer. The deeper it went, the deeper the blade of the dagger sank. Finally, after five or six minutes of slicing, a "pop" sound was heard as the last layer of cocoon silk was pierced.

A hole the size of a dagger tip was slashed open, and Qin Henian conjured a flashlight, turned it on with a click, and shone the light into the cocoon hole.

"Oh ho, little Qilin, blind man, look quickly! The people inside are starting to turn into zombies, and they're even growing hair on their bodies."

Qin Henian approached, head down, pupils slits in his eyes, magnifying the target into his retina. After seeing the situation inside, Qin Henian's eyes gleamed as if he had discovered something interesting, and he excitedly described the current situation inside the cocoon to the two people beside him.

"What? They've come back to life? And they're even growing hair? The meteorite jade... well, it's all gone, and they can still come back to life? Tsk tsk tsk."

"Tsk tsk tsk, let this blind man take a look!"

After hearing Qin Henian's excited tone, Hei Xiazi also became interested and even turned his head to look in the direction of Wu Xie and the others.

He muttered to himself, criticizing Wu Xie's strange abilities. How could a corpse rise from the dead? Shouldn't he be dead by now, with no energy supply? How could he be immortal? Even people without oxygen can't survive, let alone a powerless corpse rising from the dead?

Qin Henian stepped aside, and Hei Xiazi quickly stepped forward, his gaze peering through his sunglasses into the cocoon.

Qin Henian, standing nearby, nudged the silent Zhang Qilin and tilted his head to speak...

"Little Qilin, aren't you going to take a look? You should know these things very well!"

These large cocoons are somehow related to Zhang Qilin's past habit of drilling into these meteorites. Every time someone is blessed by the heavens, they are in these places. It's just that the meteorite fragments in this Zhuomula Ri Snow Mountain are too small, so the Zhang family probably wouldn't want them.

"I know"

Zhang Qilin sighed helplessly; he knew what was inside those large cocoons.

His memories had mostly returned, and he knew that these large cocoons contained ancient people who longed for immortality but had to slumber within the power of the meteorite jade.

They might have been able to awaken when the meteorite's energy was still present, but now that the power within the meteorite has been stripped away by He Nian, the remaining fragmented power is no longer enough to awaken these ancient people again. It can be said that they are now asleep and dead inside these large cocoons.

"Roar! Roar roar roar..."

Suddenly, a huge roar came from the other side of the big cocoon, a desperate sound like the last struggle of a human being in the face of life and death.

In an instant, Qin Henian, Zhang Qilin, and Hei Xiazi all turned around, their gazes sweeping to the other side.

Suddenly, in the direction where Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi, and Xie Yuchen were, small bumps appeared on the outside of a huge white cocoon. Sometimes, a fist-sized bump would appear on the top of the cocoon, and sometimes a foot-sized bump would appear on the bottom...

"This...this...Tianzhen, he's come back to life!!"

At that moment, a large eye blinked and pressed against a giant white cocoon. The pupil shrank sharply, and Fatty Wang staggered back two steps, almost falling backward. In the end, he managed to regain his footing thanks to his quick reflexes.

"Fake corpse?"

With a horrified look on his face, Wu Xie opened his mouth wide and approached the hole that he and Fatty Wang had just pierced with the dragon-patterned staff that Xie Yuchen was carrying, his eyes getting closer.

Inside the enormous white cocoon, there was a beautiful young woman dressed in an orange-red embroidered ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) from the Han Dynasty, wearing a pink peony flower headdress, a ruby-inlaid necklace tucked into her hair near her temples, and seemingly many gold hairpins hidden behind her hair. She also wore pink gemstone earrings on both ears.

A golden safety lock necklace adorned her fair and delicate neck. The girl's eyes were closed as if she were fast asleep, but the uneven marks left on the surface of the large cocoon clearly told them that what had just happened was not fake.

"How dare you!"

The girl suddenly spoke, her soft yet powerful voice echoing from inside the cocoon. The sound waves seemed to be compressed after reaching the outside of the cocoon, becoming extremely loud and reaching the ears of the three people who were nearby.

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Wu Xie! Wu Xie!!"

The sudden sound of a girl's voice startled Wang Pangzi, and he immediately started screaming.

"Don't scream! Run!"

Wu Xie was also a child who had been severely abused, and his first thought was to run away.

Meanwhile, Xie Yuchen was twirling the dragon-patterned staff he had just retrieved, his eyes warily fixed on the hole outside the large cocoon.

"Stop yelling! If you're dead, just go on your way. What's with all the shouting? If you're going to come back to life, then do it now. If not, then go die!"

Qin Henian had just examined the condition inside the meteorite jade. There were clearly no conditions for it to come back to life, so how could an accident still happen?
