Chapter 1550: An infant not yet three days old! This is King Lu Shangwang's cruelty!

~7 min read 1,319 words

And Yang Lu's flashlight also shone over; this thing was about fifty or sixty meters away from them, flickering in and out of sight, and couldn't be seen clearly at all.

Floating on the water surface, they didn't have any discoveries when they came over.

Yang Lu pondered for a moment and said: "This thing looks like a river drifter."

Wang Pangzi was stunned and said: "River drifter? Can corpses float here too?"

Yang Lu nodded slowly and said: "Maybe it's some kind of burial object of King Lu Shangwang."

They didn't know, and the people at the Crescent Hotel naturally needed to find Zhang Lin for clarification, and after hearing this question, Zhang Lin shook his head.

He said in a deep voice: "I told you before that King Lu Shangwang's cruelty far exceeds your expectations, and this kind of thing is just like that."

"Queen Jingjue wanted to resurrect herself, and Wang Canghai pursued immortality; they all sacrificed the lives of innocent people, but this King Lu Shangwang is very interesting. He did this just to live to a ripe old age, nothing else."

Everyone was filled with confusion upon hearing this, because what Zhang Lin said was headless and tailless—how could it be just to live to a ripe old age?

What was the root of all this?

Fortunately, Zhang Lin had more to say; the next moment, only hearing Zhang Lin continue: "The kind of thing you see now can be said to be a type of 【REDACTED】; King Lu Shangwang didn't have any news here, so he didn't think about pursuing immortality."

"But went directly to the next step, which is becoming an immortal. But when living in the human world, King Lu Shangwang's body was getting worse and worse, and it was King Lu Shangwang's High Priest who came up with this idea for him."

"If I'm not mistaken, what should be hidden inside are infants not yet three days old; combining these infants with 【REDACTED】, then they made this kind of thing that isn't human. This is equivalent to a kind of medicine for King Lu Shangwang's body."

Everyone gasped; according to what Zhang Lin said, then there must be more than one of this kind of thing.

The next moment, someone raised their hand and asked: "Mr. Zhang, how many of these things are there?"

Zhang Lin's mouth curved into a strange smile; he didn't explain, and right now, saying such things was equivalent to revealing the subsequent answers in advance, so Zhang Lin could only choose to be silent.

Matters had to be looked at later; when they saw that kind of scene, or when they saw this kind of thing breaking out of its cocoon, they would have other thoughts about this matter itself. Seeing Zhang Lin choose to be silent, everyone was so anxious they were jumping.

The bullet comments also began to clamor one after another.

【Mr. Zhang is keeping us in suspense again; it's so uncomfortable.】

【There's no way, matters have to be taken step by step; maybe Mr. Zhang hasn't thought these things through either.】

【Impossible; if you are familiar with Mr. Zhang's storytelling, you should understand that at this kind of unhurried time, he is deliberately keeping us in suspense.】

【I don't think there's anything bad about keeping us in suspense at this time.】

【But we are so anxious we are jumping; it's even more uncomfortable than dying.】

【You have to have patience; no one can become a fat man in one bite, including storytelling. If I tell you the answer directly, wouldn't all the sense of anticipation be gone?】

This sentence could be considered to have played the role of "nailing the brick and setting the foot"; everyone also fell silent together. They knew they must follow Zhang Lin's rhythm and absolutely couldn't have any other things.

If they jumped out of Zhang Lin's rhythm, the result they obtained in the end might not necessarily be the truth.

Based on this, they honestly chose to listen to Zhang Lin continue, and the next moment Zhang Lin spoke slowly: "I feel it's too quiet, and this kind of eerie silence creates an extreme danger."

Zhang Lin's words made everyone's spirits tremble; if this sentence were said by someone else, it would just be treated as farting by everyone—why should he have danger if he says there is danger?

But the words spoken by Zhang Lin were completely different from others; after all, he understood everything inside the tomb 100%. As long as Zhang Lin said there was a certain kind of danger, that danger would inevitably arrive.

But right now, even if Zhang Lin wasn't sure about this danger, everyone couldn't help but have their hair stand on end together.

Wang Canghai, who was watching the live broadcast, was also thoughtful after hearing this sentence; in his view, this King Lu Shangwang's tomb, at least until now, couldn't be compared with the danger of the Ancient City of Jingjue at all.

The Ancient City of Jingjue at least had a Corpse-Fragrant Demon Konjac, and every step they took was immersed in hallucinations.

Even if the snake blood at the end, including the things provided by the fake Yang Lu, could help them lift the hallucinations.

But from beginning to end, they still didn't escape the most basic influence of the hallucinations; only after the Corpse-Fragrant Demon Konjac truly died did this kind of hallucination completely disappear.

And during that period, the Corpse-Fragrant Demon Konjac and Queen Jingjue disappeared together, including the entire Ancient City of Jingjue, which sank into the desert along with the Ghost Cave.

Of course, even without considering these, they still had the Imaginary Space, needing to worry about walking unsteadily in the Imaginary Space.

If it weren't for fully understanding the Imaginary Space, they couldn't have successfully walked out of the Ancient City of Jingjue, let alone head to the Dragon Ridge Labyrinth later.

And now, when Wang Canghai didn't discover any crisis, Zhang Lin happened to see it. If it were the original Wang Canghai, he might have dismissed Zhang Lin's words.

Or, if he determined that what Zhang Lin said was true, and he didn't see what the other party encountered at this time, Wang Canghai would feel very angry.

But under the current situation, it made Wang Canghai calm down instead. He was seriously thinking about what he would encounter later, but after just a few seconds, he smiled and shook his head.

Wang Canghai thought to himself that no matter what he encountered, it had no meaning to him; anyway, his people were following behind and wouldn't appear at all.

If the Second Archaeological Team were really wiped out, Wang Canghai might even give an order for the Wang family to temporarily cooperate with the Second Archaeological Team, and then talk about splitting the loot after finding the Dust-Suppressing Bead.

Wang Canghai himself had already given up the thought of direct conflict with Zhang Lin, and under this premise, perhaps Zhang Lin would even give him some unexpected gains.

Just as Wang Canghai was pondering these things, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Wang Canghai thought it was his butler and said subconsciously: "Come in."

Unexpectedly, the person who pushed the door and entered was none other than Xue Long. He turned his head to look at Xue Long, revealing a smile that wasn't a smile. Wang Canghai didn't expect at all that Xue Long would dare to come back at this time; wasn't this courting death?

In fact, Wang Canghai wasn't surprised at all that Xue Long ran away; the things he expressed intentionally or unintentionally were just wanting to kill Xue Long to silence him.

Furthermore, Wang Canghai had already arranged the follow-up plans, to take place right after the business in the Insect Valley of Southern Xinjiang concluded!
