Chapter 2293: Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl! The eyeball of the Demon Kingdom

A Xiang's reminder and obstruction did not make Yang Lusi stop.

Seeing this, Yang Lusi smiled and shook her head, saying: "You stand here and don't move. If we want to get out, we probably have to find the mechanism there."

A Xiang actually knew very well why Yang Lusi wanted to enter here; all of this was so that the Second Archaeological Team could continue to move forward.

Although she didn't know why Yang Lusi suddenly changed her previous thought—that is to say, no longer waiting for Zhang Lin to board the Crescent Hotel, and deciding everything by herself.

But instinct prompted A Xiang not to mention these questions, even though A Xiang had now become a member of the Second Archaeological Team.

Afterward, she wouldn't continue to follow the Second Archaeological Team, but in the current situation, she had to accompany the Second Archaeological Team to finish this tomb, the Kunlun Divine Palace, so she didn't want to ask too much.

She also learned from Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan and the others: as long as it was a decision made by Yang Lusi, she wouldn't voice any questioning. But even so, she still felt worried for Yang Lusi.

Seeing Yang Lusi's gaze was exceptionally firm, A Xiang could only let go of her hand. She had wanted to accompany Yang Lusi to the front, but didn't expect the other party to look back at her.

The emotion revealed in her eyes was unquestionable. She didn't speak, but the meaning was very clear: it was to let A Xiang obey her orders and stay where she was without moving!

This was the greatest help to herself. A Xiang sighed involuntarily, knowing she couldn't say anything more, and could only follow Yang Lusi's current thought and stay quietly in place.

The reason Yang Lusi wanted to go over and check the situation was, on one hand, because she had to find the mechanism she mentioned just now; on the other hand, it was also the most important purpose of her coming in this time: to see if there was anything here that would have additional value for their path afterward.

Yang Lusi wasn't 100% sure if this closed space was the correct path, but along with finding the mechanism, she should be able to make some discoveries.

Whether it was opening the previous entrance or a new big door appearing before her eyes, and then being able to take everyone to the subsequent location—next, it was definitely a situation of choosing one of two.

Instinct prompted Yang Lusi to lean more toward the latter. If this place couldn't lead anywhere, Yang Lusi knew that the opportunities she had left were becoming fewer and fewer. Now, doing these things with all her might was just because she didn't want to make things difficult for Zhang Lin at the Crescent Hotel anymore.

Walking a few steps to the front, Yang Lusi looked down, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Under the "Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl" sculpture, there was a basin-style vessel. This was the key point; from a distance, she couldn't see it at all.

But having arrived at the front, it was revealed without doubt. Yang Lusi clearly saw two transparent crystals in this water basin; they were spherical.

Yang Lusi directly thought of the Glacier Crystal Corpse they had seen before, which was the corpse of the Demon Kingdom's Ghost Mother. At first, although Yang Lusi had made some discoveries, she didn't pay attention to this point—that is, there were no eyeballs on the Demon Kingdom's Ghost Mother's corpse.

Afterward, Yang Lusi had wanted to discuss this situation with everyone, but then those ice ladybugs appeared, and Yang Lusi could only temporarily shelve all her thoughts.

And she also determined that this matter was harmless, just like in the tomb of King Xian, where the other party's corpse finally presented only a head.

King Xian used this method to try to become an immortal, so he made himself look neither human nor ghost after death. This situation wasn't very rare, but Yang Lusi didn't expect to see these things at this moment.

Subconsciously, Yang Lusi associated this again with the mural they had seen. Yang Lusi raised a question about this point immediately.

Because that was a grave-robbing hole, and it was a grave-robbing hole dug from the inside out, so Yang Lusi determined that this eerie situation must be connected to an important reason.

Under the historical background of that time, no one could do this, except for the clansmen of the Demon Kingdom's Ghost Mother, and the other party's clansmen were recorded in history.

They definitely held the most pure faith toward the Demon Kingdom's Ghost Mother. This loyalty was equivalent to them having been severely brainwashed, and they didn't dare to violate the other party's orders at all.

Now it seemed that wasn't the case, and they had only one purpose in digging this grave-robbing hole: it should be to get the Demon Kingdom's Ghost Mother's eyeballs. Through the things she had experienced before, Yang Lusi slowly formed a logical clue.

It was also related to the so-called eyeball worship. She had already experienced all of this when she was in the Ancient City of Jingjue. The Queen of Jingjue relied on her own eyes to conquer the entire Western Regions and became the hegemon of the Western Regions.

And everyone's fear of her was because of the power of the eyeballs. All roads lead to the same destination; the Demon Kingdom's Ghost Mother was the same, which meant the two should carry the same bloodline.

Otherwise, such a coincidental thing wouldn't appear in this world. Yang Lusi had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, but soon laughed at herself, thinking to herself that even if she knew such a thing, what could she do?

The clues she had mastered now were still relatively scattered. Even if she could take the courage to move forward and analyze some situations boldly when discovering clues.

But Yang Lusi was clear that when it really came to the critical point, she still had to rely on Zhang Lin's analysis. Courage and experience couldn't solve any problems; they could only get a relatively general answer. Yang Lusi was more certain of this than anyone else.

Having figured this out, Yang Lusi sighed. She didn't suspect there were any other mechanisms in the basin, because this place was truly peaceful, and those original traitors of the Demon Kingdom who wanted to take the eyeballs didn't succeed; they should have been stopped by the ice ladybugs in front.

So at this moment, Yang Lusi didn't have the slightest hesitation, directly reaching her hand toward the basin. Sure enough, no accident occurred. When the eyeballs fell into her palm, Yang Lusi felt a refreshing coolness that chilled the heart.

Yang Lusi couldn't help but marvel. At this moment, she began to doubt the authenticity of that legend. If the Demon Kingdom's Ghost Mother's eyeballs really had that kind of magical power.

Then why did she end up in such a miserable state in the end?

This showed that the legend, from a certain perspective, should have no persuasiveness at all, and a large part of it was imagined by later generations.

This should be a relatively reliable answer.

Coming and going, looking at history, among so many people and the replacement of dynasties, there would always be some incredible legends left behind.

But along with their excavations, these legends turned into rumors and collapsed on their own, which also showed how ignorant the people of that time were.

However, Yang Lusi also knew that one couldn't completely rely on the perspective of later generations to criticize the practices of predecessors. Perhaps even if they themselves were at that time node, they shouldn't have done better than these people.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Lusi didn't struggle with these anymore.
