The researcher Liu Wei, standing to the side, suddenly shouted, "Professor, look quickly, what's going on with the corpse's face?"

Everyone crowded around the coffin looked toward the corpse's face.

They discovered that in just a few short seconds, a layer of black hair had rapidly covered the dried corpse's face.

Even on its exposed hands, black hair began to grow wildly!

What was even more terrifying was that the dried corpse's fingernails were growing longer and sharper at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This scene gave everyone, who was seeing a zombie rise for the first time, a huge fright.

Zhang Tianshi secretly thought, "Not good," and immediately ordered everyone to step back.

"Back away! Stay away from the coffin!"

No sooner had Zhang Tianshi finished speaking than the black-haired dried corpse suddenly sat up from the coffin, its movements exactly the same as the previous blood corpse!

And the dried corpse's face, covered in black hair, along with its sharp, cold-glinting fingernails several inches long, packed no less of a punch than the blood corpse.

Seeing the dried corpse rise, the archaeological team instantly fell into a panic.

Only Zhang Tianshi remained, holding the front line!

At this moment, the barrage in the archaeology livestream exploded.

【What the hell! What is this thing! Why is it covered in black hair?】

【Could this thing be the same as the blood corpse?】

【The blood corpse is a big zombie, so is this a black-haired big zombie?】

【How do you deal with this thing? Can guns kill it?】

The viewers began to worry for the archaeological team; this black-haired zombie looked like trouble, and who knew how much stronger it was than the previous blood corpse?

In Sanqing Garden, seeing the dried corpse rise and turn into a black-haired zombie.

The Flower Monk said excitedly, "Yo, it's a big one!"

"This thing is rare to encounter even when we go underground with Fourth Master; this archaeological team is actually quite lucky!"

Lang Feng also smiled and nodded, "Who's to say otherwise? But don't worry, it's just a black-haired zombie; that Celestial Master can handle it."

"I just don't know if the archaeological team brought a black donkey hoof?"

The Flower Monk waved his hand directly, "Only we know about the black donkey hoof; that's an untold secret of old tomb raiders. It's impossible for the archaeological team to know."

"Even among those listening to the story here, counting one by one, there are so many folk tomb-raiding experts!"

"Even they don't know this method, let alone the archaeological team."

While the two were discussing, some impatient ones had already started shouting for Zhang Lin, saying the archaeological team had encountered a black-haired zombie.

Zhang Lin said slowly, "No rush. Zhang Tianshi's Kui Star Kicking the Dipper can even handle a blood corpse; this black-haired zombie shouldn't be much of a problem."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

Sure enough, after only a few seconds, they saw Zhang Tianshi repeat his old trick, leaping into the air!

More skillfully than before, he jumped behind the black-haired zombie, then executed a nimble Kui Star Kicking the Dipper.

With a "Crack!" sound, the black-haired zombie collapsed in response!

Seeing this, the archaeological team collectively breathed a sigh of relief!

But there was no look of ease on Zhang Tianshi's face.

There was indeed a corpse in this coffin, but after opening it, it had grown into a black-haired zombie.

This meant the archaeological team had chosen wrong!

This was not King Lu Shang's coffin at all!

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianshi jumped onto the edge of the coffin in two or three steps.

He bent down and looked into the coffin a few times, and sure enough, he found there was nothing inside!

Not a single one of the precious burial objects Professor Chen was looking forward to was seen!

This was one of the six fake coffins, intended to confuse everyone.

It seemed that King Lu Shang was indeed a master of tomb raiding; he had even anticipated that others might use the hole-drilling method to detect what was inside the coffins.

Therefore, he not only put real corpses in the fake coffins, but even dressed them in very luxurious clothing!

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianshi said directly, "Professor, our judgment was wrong; this is a fake coffin."

Hum—

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar!

After working so hard to open the coffin, they had actually picked a fake one!

This left the archaeological team unable to recover for a moment, finding it hard to accept.

But no matter how many thoughts they had, the facts were right before their eyes.

The black-haired zombie rising, and not a single decent burial object in the coffin.

Everything was telling them they had chosen wrong!

Seeing that the team's morale was a bit low, Professor Chen, as the leader, immediately encouraged them, "Don't be discouraged, everyone. Seven to choose from; it's understandable to pick the wrong one."

"And Zhang Tianshi, I don't think there's any problem with your method."

"The problem is that we didn't hook it a couple more times!"

"If we had hooked into the coffin several times and only found silk textiles, that would mean there was a problem with the coffin."

Professor Chen's meaning was very clear: he wanted to continue using Zhang Tianshi's method to test the remaining coffins.

But at this moment, Zhang Tianshi felt a bit uneasy inside.

He kept feeling that King Lu Shang had already prepared for the Mountain-Moving Daoist's secret hole-hooking technique.

He feared the things in the other coffins were even more dangerous than the black-haired zombie!

Therefore, Zhang Tianshi said, "Professor, I think we should stop opening the coffins for now."

Stop opening the coffins?

Everyone looked at Zhang Tianshi with confusion.

Zhang Tianshi then said, "My method has actually already failed."

"For safety's sake, why not ask that Mr. Zhang if he has any insights into the Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin Array?"

Since Zhang Tianshi had said so, fear also arose in the hearts of the others.

The black-haired big zombie had Zhang Tianshi, so it was easy to handle.

But if they opened the wrong one again and there were traps inside the coffin, the person opening it would be the first to get hurt.

Now that even Zhang Tianshi had no confidence in the method of drilling holes in the coffins, the others had even less!

At this time, without waiting for the National Archaeological Institute to step in, viewers watching the livestream couldn't wait and directly started asking Zhang Lin.

"Mr. Zhang, the archaeological team failed!"

"Mr. Zhang, the archaeological team wants to ask if you have a way to break the Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin Array."

"Yeah, Zhang Tianshi's method of drilling holes and hooking things doesn't seem to work."

"After all this, I guess we still need Mr. Zhang to step in!"

Hearing the commotion, Zhang Lin understood.

This was likely that Mute Oil Bottle finally realizing that the Big Dipper Suspicious Coffin Array itself had problems.
