Chapter 211: The Might of the Qilin Blood

The next day, Zhang Lin had no storytelling work, so as soon as he got up he began continuing to watch the archaeology team's progress.

To his surprise, from yesterday until today, Zhang Lin hadn't watched the livestream at all, yet something had happened to the archaeology team!

The archaeology team had searched the burial chamber of the Northern Dipper Suspicious Coffin Array thoroughly, but found no hidden door.

With no other choice, they could only exit this burial chamber and begin searching inside the tomb passage.

The moment they entered the tomb passage, no one knew who triggered some mechanism.

In an instant, several team members fell into a trapdoor pit!

There were no sharp spikes in the pit, but it was covered densely with dragon ticks!

In just ten-odd seconds, those people were completely covered and devoured.

Then the dragon ticks crawled along the exit into the tomb passage, and everyone immediately panicked!

They didn't listen at all to Zhang Tianshi's attempts to maintain order, scattering like headless flies and crashing about blindly inside the tomb passage.

Zhang Tianshi was anxious inside, but facing the panicked crowd, there was nothing he could do.

He could only grab Fatty and Tianzhen, the ones closest to him.

"Don't run around! Follow me!"

Tianzhen and Fatty had long been scared out of their wits watching the dragon ticks devour the archaeology team members.

Fatty tugged at Tianzhen's clothes to keep the two of them from getting separated as they ran.

Just as they were at a complete loss, they suddenly heard Zhang Tianshi's voice.

The two of them felt as though they had heard heavenly music, as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw!

"Tianshi! Save me! There are bugs on me!" Fatty wailed, jumping about frantically beside Zhang Tianshi.

At this moment, the dragon ticks were growing more and more numerous, and Zhang Tianshi could no longer worry about too many things.

He steeled his heart, drew his dagger, and slashed his own hand in one cut.

This scene stunned both Fatty and Tianzhen!

Tianzhen said directly: "Tianshi, what are you doing?"

"Yeah right, if you can't beat them you can run, don't hurt yourself!" Fatty also cried out.

But what was shocking was that when Zhang Tianshi's blood dripped onto the ground—

Those dragon ticks scattered backward in an instant, as if they had seen a ghost, with a "rustle rustle"!

Fatty's eyes went wide, and he shouted that it was awesome.

At the same time he slapped Tianzhen's shoulder hard, winking at him nonstop!

Fatty's meaning was very clear: Look, I damn well didn't lie to you, there's really something wrong with his blood! I saw it on the boat in the water cave!

Tianzhen also turned his head and stared at Fatty in shock.

Seeing this scene of the dragon ticks retreating with his own eyes was far more shocking than Fatty's description!

The two stared at Zhang Tianshi, dumbfounded.

Fatty was still the first to speak: "Tianshi… does Mount Wudang also practice insect-repelling?"

Zhang Tianshi glanced back at him and said nothing.

He only said with an extremely grave expression: "I suspect that besides us, someone else has entered this burial chamber!"

Someone else has entered?!

Hearing this, both Fatty and Tianzhen were stunned.

The area where the archaeology team was working was essentially under semi-military blockade.

The purpose was to prevent some civilian archaeology enthusiasts who had watched the livestream from coming to join the excitement.

Of course, those who truly followed the rules could be directly persuaded to turn back.

But those tomb-raiding thieves were impossible to deal with; they would definitely find ways to sneak in..

Therefore, cordoning off this area was the most suitable method!

Under such a heavy blockade, there was still someone who could follow behind the archaeology team and enter the ancient tomb.

Is this person a mosquito or something?

In an instant, Fatty thought of the person who had groped his butt.

When he and Tianzhen were standing at the burial chamber entrance, he had clearly felt someone groping him.

At the time, Fatty had thought it was Tianzhen playing a prank.

But in the end he discovered it wasn't Tianzhen at all!

Fatty immediately turned to Tianzhen and said: "Earlier someone groped Fatty's butt—could it be that pervert who snuck into the ancient tomb?"

Before Tianzhen could answer, Zhang Tianshi heard Fatty's words and frowned.

"What's the situation? Be more specific."

The two immediately told Zhang Tianshi about Fatty feeling someone behind them.

As well as the small green hand that didn't look human that Tianzhen had seen!

After hearing them out, Zhang Tianshi shook his head and said: "What you encountered wasn't a person…"

Wasn't a person…

Hearing this, both Tianzhen and Fatty couldn't help but shiver.

This damn place was an ancient tomb—if the thing behind them wasn't a person, then what was it?

But seeing Zhang Tianshi so certain, neither of them could utter a single word of doubt.

Zhang Tianshi added: "The person who snuck into the burial chamber is not the same thing you encountered."

Saying this was actually the same as saying nothing; Fatty and Tianzhen were still completely lost.

Tianzhen saw that the archaeology team members had all scattered, not knowing where in the tomb passage they had run off to.

Only the three of them were left here, so he could only say, "Zhang Tianshi, everyone's scattered. We have to figure out a way to gather them together."

"Your blood can suppress the dragon-ticks now, but I'm afraid there is no way for the others."

"Some of them don't even have a single Molotov cocktail on them, and all the guns are in the special forces' hands."

Zhang Tianshi, however, wasn't listening to him. Instead, lost in thought, he said, "The dragon-ticks suddenly lost control—there must be a reason. I need to go back to the Blood Corpse Tomb Chamber and take a look!"

As he spoke, he took off running in the opposite direction down the tomb passage.

Tianzhen and Fatty had no choice but to follow behind him.

When the three of them passed through the tomb passage and arrived at the Blood Corpse Tomb Chamber, they were all shocked by the sight before them!

The blood corpse lying on the ground, whose spine Zhang Tianshi had dismantled, had somehow become a headless corpse.

Fatty rubbed his eyes hard and said in disbelief, "What the hell—who did this?"

"How could they be so brutal? Just chopped the blood corpse's head right off?!"

"The state was still planning to move this thing away for experiments—who the hell is so heartless!"

"And why did they only take the blood corpse's head?"

Fatty had a pile of questions, the words in his mouth never stopping, until Tianzhen gave him a tug and he finally quieted down.

Because both of them noticed that Zhang Tianshi's brows were knitted together.

At this moment, although Zhang Tianshi was still bald and a bit chubby, when he grew serious, he somehow gave off a very imposing air.

Tianzhen said softly, "Stop babbling. The problem is probably very serious right now—Zhang Tianshi is trying to think of a way!"

After a long while, Zhang Tianshi finally said, "The dragon-ticks in this tomb were probably drawn here by the blood corpse."

"Or rather, by the blood corpse's severed head."

The blood corpse's head?!
