Tomb Raiding: All Things Merge, Starting with 400x Strength

Zhang Qilin said that the jade garment worn by the corpse was a jade pupa, which made the fat man extremely excited.

Legend has it that the jade pupa can prevent a corpse from decaying for ten thousand years, and it molts every five hundred years. After three thousand years, the person inside the jade pupa can be successfully resurrected.

Qin Shi Huang spent his entire life pursuing immortality, not only sending Xu Fu to lead young boys and girls to find immortals, but also searching the world for the whereabouts of the jade pupa.

But he never found the whereabouts of the jade pupa before he died.

The jade cocoon that even Qin Shi Huang couldn't find was now right before our eyes. How could anyone not be excited?

The fat man picked up a few dried fragments next to the corpse, rubbed them between his fingers, and said, "That's right, what was on his body was indeed a jade pupa, and these are the skins that were shed from his body!"

"It's actually a jade cocoon. No wonder it's still breathing and its eyes can move."

"It seems the legend is true; the jade pupa really can revive people!"

Not only Fatty, but also Uncle Wu, Wu Tianzhen, and Pan Zi were excited. This was a legendary treasure!

Pan Zi stared at the jade cocoon with shining eyes: "If we take it off, the corpse inside will turn into a blood corpse. What should we do then?"

"We can't just sit around watching this treasure without taking it out!"

"It's just a blood corpse. With Brother Zhang Hao here, it's nothing to be afraid of with just one punch!"

Before the fat man could finish speaking, he grabbed the thread at the waist of the jade pupa and pulled.

Once the jade thread was pulled out, the entire jade pupa was instantly detached from the corpse.

The corpse inside the jade pupa looked just like a living person, with smooth and delicate skin, like a newborn baby.

However, this state is very short-lived. After the jade pupa sheds its skin, it immediately begins to melt and transform into a blood corpse.

Almost instantly, the corpse turned into a bloody zombie, roared, and sprang up from the coffin, lunging at the nearest fat man.

"boom!"

Zhang Qilin drew his Black Gold Ancient Sword and stretched it forward to block the blood corpse and the fat man.

This strike only slightly slowed down the blood corpse's speed. He unleashed tremendous power and lunged forward, directly knocking the Black Gold Ancient Blade away.

The fat man, terrified at the sight of the blood-soaked corpse, cried out for help:

"Brother Zhang Hao, what are you waiting for? I'm about to die!"

Zhang Hao smiled and said, "You'll have to bear the consequences of taking off the jade cocoon yourself."

"No, brother, I'm just thinking about having you. What does a blood corpse matter?"

Zhang Hao didn't really want the fat man to die; he just wanted to scare him.

Seeing that it was about time, he punched the blood corpse's head until it exploded.

"call……"

The fat man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Hao finish off the blood corpse with a single punch.

"Brother Zhang Hao is awesome! Such a powerful blood corpse is easier for you than crushing an ant."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense and take off your clothes now, or I won't save you if you get infected with the corpse poison."

The fat man nodded and carefully took off his clothes and threw them far away, afraid of getting them stained with blood and flesh.

"Xiao Hao, you killed the blood corpse. Keep the jade cocoon safe and don't lose it."

Uncle Wu pointed to the jade cocoon inside the coffin and said.

"Okay, third brother."

As soon as Zhang Hao took the jade cocoon out of the coffin, he saw a purple-gold box underneath it.

The box is about the size of a palm and is exquisitely crafted, with cloud patterns, dragon patterns, and many other rare and exotic animals carved on it.

After taking out the jade cocoon, Zhang Hao also took out the box.

"Brother Zhang Hao, this purple-gold box is so exquisite, and it was even buried with someone. There must be treasures inside. Let's open it and see for ourselves."

"Ah."

Zhang Hao put the jade cocoon into his backpack, then opened the purple-gold box, where he found a piece of paper that had turned yellow.

He took out a piece of paper, opened it, and saw dense ancient characters on it. He then turned around and handed it to Wu Tianzhen.

"Take a look at what's written on it."

"Okay, Uncle."

Wu Tianzhen took the paper and began to study it.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "It records a secret about King Lu Shang. It is said that he killed the snake spirit that appeared in his dream and obtained a ghost seal that could summon ghost soldiers. From then on, he was invincible."

Later, someone appeared and told him that there was a way to achieve immortality.

Immortality can be achieved by storing consciousness and memories and then taking over a new body.

Later, during the operation, he discovered that it was actually a trap.

The person who told him the secret actually wanted his body.

It's not so simple for memories and consciousness to take over someone else's body; if the body's owner has a strong will, danger is very likely to occur.

To avoid this danger, the person's memory must be erased after a suitable body has been chosen.

That would make things much easier.

King Lu Shang discovered this secret and resisted at the point where his memories were being erased, thus escaping death…

"It's actually a method for achieving immortality!"

Is immortality really possible?

"Isn't this method just like the possession in fantasy novels? Could there really be such people in our world?"

……

Hearing Wu Tianzhen's explanation, everyone present felt an indescribable sadness.

If such a person truly exists around you, it's very likely that the person you know is no longer the same person they once were.

If someone harbors malicious intentions, it's truly impossible to guard against them doing something dangerous.

Erase the memory!

Zhang Hao suddenly thought of the two eyeballs of the Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse.

I never understood why, since both eyes already have a hallucinogenic effect, I would need to replace them with two more eyes that can actively attack.

Furthermore, this suggests that someone was deliberately leaking the map of the Lu Palace to lure people here.

At that moment, he suddenly understood.

So that's how it is; the entire Lu Palace has been transformed into a trap.

First, the map of the Sanbru Palace attracts people, and then they have to overcome numerous challenges to choose the right body.

When people finally find the cave where the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress is located after going through all sorts of hardships, they will be attacked by the two eyeballs of the Blue-Eyed Fox Corpse and have their memories erased.

At this point, it becomes a body that can be possessed and reborn.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Suddenly, Zhang Hao noticed his heart racing and his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.

This is one of the spider's sensory abilities—to detect warnings from its body in advance of danger.

It combines with ants to gain immense strength, combines with diamonds to make its body as hard as diamonds, and combines with Qilin blood to gain Qilin bloodline, which can ward off poison and evil spirits and prolong life.

This level of strength shouldn't pose any danger, so why is my body giving me warnings?

Could it be that some terrifying being is already approaching?

"Hmph, hmph..."

"Do you smell anything?"

Uncle Wu took two breaths and frowned.

"It's just the smell of corpses. It's normal for two bloody corpses around us to smell of corpses, isn't it?"

The fat man looked unconvinced.

When Zhang Hao heard the words "stench of corpses," he suddenly thought of a characteristic of people who use their consciousness and memories to possess other people's bodies and gain immortality.

Such people have a smell similar to the stench of a corpse, the difference being that this smell becomes stronger over time.

When the stench of decay is very strong, it means that the body is no longer usable and needs to be replaced.

The sudden appearance of this smell means that someone is approaching them, and they are quite powerful; otherwise, their bodies wouldn't be giving them a warning.

Zhang Hao shouted a warning: "Everyone be careful, there's danger!"
