Chapter 1556: Corpse Beetle Pill reappears! A brilliant plan!

Xue Long was truly afraid that he would also become Wang Canghai's experimental subject. At that time, he would rather die than turn into that neither-human-nor-ghost appearance.

In fact, any normal person would hold such thoughts, just like Wang Kaixuan at the beginning, and now Xue Long; they would rather die than become monsters.

And even if Xue Long lived like a dog or died miserably on the street, he would not become the other party's experimental subject. This was the prerequisite for everything.

And from beginning to end, this had never changed. Xue Long took a deep breath and opened the box; inside was a pill. Xue Long was not sure if this was a Corpse Beetle Pill.

But he tentatively asked: "Master, I can eat it, but can you let me die knowing the truth?"

Wang Canghai shrugged and said very naturally: "You should be very familiar with this thing; it's a Corpse Beetle Pill. You should have seen it in the live stream before."

Upon hearing this, Xue Long felt cold from his hair to the soles of his feet. The so-called immortality Wang Canghai bestowed upon him was also imperfect. He did not know if his so-called immortality would clash with this kind of Corpse Beetle Pill.

But now there was no choice. Xue Long was stunned for a moment, then picked up the Corpse Beetle Pill and stuffed it directly into his mouth without a moment's hesitation.

He understood that the reason Sun Wu exploded in a short time after eating this Corpse Beetle Pill was because there was some potential energy in Wang Canghai's laboratory that pushed the Corpse Beetle Pill to quickly complete the process of eroding the human body.

And now that he had eaten it while outside, that kind of thing would not happen. If it weren't a Corpse Beetle Pill but something else, then Xue Long would have to think about it.

As mentioned before, he did not want to become Wang Canghai's experimental subject, but now Xue Long did not need to have any hesitation, simply because Wang Canghai no longer needed to take out this kind of Corpse Beetle Pill for experiments.

A hundred years ago, Wang Canghai was already very disdainful of Corpse Beetle Pills, and regarding the matter of immortality, he had already obtained it, even if Xue Long did not yet understand the specific details.

But this was not worth him taking out Corpse Beetle Pills as experimental subjects again. The reason he was given this pill to take now, in Xue Long's view, was just that Wang Canghai wanted to add a double insurance.

And with this insurance, Xue Long could also get what he wanted from the beginning; his demand was just to live for a while longer.

Knowing that this Corpse Beetle Pill was not poison to him, but rather his protective umbrella, at least for a period of time after taking the pill, he could live like a normal person.

As for the matter of turning into a monster later, as long as Zhang Lin was there, he could lobby very well between the two. He believed that in the end, even if it was just out of pity for him, Zhang Lin would find a way to unlock the prohibition of the Corpse Beetle Pill for him.

Even if he had to give up immortality for this reason in the end, it didn't matter to Xue Long. He had lived for so many years and basically wasn't very interested in immortality.

If he were just to be a slave forever, then death would be the best destination for him instead.

After taking the Corpse Beetle Pill, Wang Canghai nodded with satisfaction and said: "You are sensible, kid. Now you are still my slave, and as for how to arrange you later, just listen to me. For now, you stay by my side. After the Insect Valley matter ends, if I obtain the Dust-Dispelling Bead, then I will give you the antidote for the Corpse Beetle Pill."

Upon hearing this, Xue Long's eyes lit up. He thought to himself that Wang Canghai indeed had the antidote for the Corpse Beetle Pill, even if he had held such thoughts from the beginning.

But at this moment, having obtained a definitive answer, Xue Long's hanging heart was put to rest. He wasn't counting on Wang Canghai to truly give him the antidote, but rather on Zhang Lin.

He believed that since Wang Canghai had a way to produce the antidote, and Zhang Lin's ability was stronger than Wang Canghai's, then based on this, Zhang Lin would certainly be able to produce the antidote.

Even if he didn't have it now, he could find a way to research it. Even if he had to serve as an experimental subject for Zhang Lin's antidote research, Xue Long would accept it.

Although it was still being an experimental subject, this was a completely different concept from being an experimental subject for Wang Canghai. Having figured this out, Xue Long basically put all his worries aside.

And the next moment, Wang Canghai shook his head and said nothing more. Everything had been decided, and Wang Canghai would not dwell on this problem anymore.

How Xue Long would choose later was entirely within Wang Canghai's expectations. Under this premise, if Wang Canghai said anything else, it would instead arouse suspicion.

And his subsequent plan was indeed just to let Xue Long go to Zhang Lin's side, even if he understood that Xue Long no longer had that loyalty to him, even if he didn't believe in loyalty in the first place.

But after a person betrayed him once, no matter how righteous the loyalty they displayed was, it was worthless to Wang Canghai. Now, the only ones he could believe in were the Wang family members, but even this belief was only temporary.

Wang Canghai continued to watch the live stream.

The Second Archaeological Team had already reached the depths of the cave at this time, and Yang Lu knew that the people behind had caught up.

At this moment, she was not worried instead. For them, the most important thing was to hurry to the next place; perhaps they could even use certain means to create some trouble for these people.

Now, the most important thing for them was to open up a time gap. The key was what to do specifically at the moment they obtained the Dust-Dispelling Bead. The reason Zhang Lin still provided such guidance to the Second Archaeological Team and didn't let them shake off the people behind was also for this reason.

It was not difficult to shake off those people now; the key was how to find the correct route. Without the guidance of the correct route, whether they shook them off or not would not play any decisive role in what followed.

After Yang Lu and the others walked a few steps, screams suddenly came from behind.

Yang Lu immediately looked back and saw the entire mountain belly trembling along with it. Wang Kaixuan said subconsciously: "Team Leader Yang, could it be that what Mr. Zhang said just now has come true?"

What Zhang Lin said before was naturally passed on to the Second Archaeological Team. The official side would not be secretive about this matter just because Zhang Lin said it carried certain dangers.

Instead, they chose to honestly pass on all of Zhang Lin's words. Under this premise, the absolute safety of the Second Archaeological Team could be guaranteed.

Because only by knowing the danger could they be extra careful. If they hadn't passed on Zhang Lin's words, perhaps the Second Archaeological Team would still be fearless now.

Even if Yang Lu emphasized how threatening things would be later, even Yang Lu herself had let go of the balanced considerations from before in her heart.
