Chapter 316: The Corpse-Eating King Hatches from Its Shell

Zhang Tianshi's words startled Tianzhen so badly that he flung whatever was in his hand straight into the coffin!

Then he looked at his own hand and felt an overwhelming urge to vomit.

Fatty saw this and burst out laughing. "Tianzhen, old chap, you've got quite the luck!"

"Either you eat things off corpses, or you touch their skin — looks like your old Wu family tradition runs deep. You were born for this line of work!"

Tianzhen went "ptui, ptui, ptui" for a good while, but didn't have time to feel disgusted.

Because clearly, this many human skins appearing in the coffin made no sense!

"Tianshi, does this Lu Lu Shangwang have some skin disease? How could he shed so much skin?"

At this moment, thanks to Tianzhen's discovery, the rest of the archaeological team crowded around as well.

Only to see that the human skins had almost completely carpeted the bottom of the coffin!

Just how much skin had been shed?

Could a person endure shedding like this continuously?

At this time, Professor Chen had also received news from outside and learned everything Zhang Lin had popularized.

With excitement, Professor Chen shared Lin's Claim with everyone.

Upon hearing that Lu Lu Shangwang's current state was one of immortality, the whole group was thrilled!

The world's first living immortal specimen — discovered by them!

Every one of their names would be recorded in the annals of history — how could anyone not be thrilled?

Only the trio had known the news long ago and appeared perfectly calm.

This also made Professor Chen very pleased with Fatty and Tianzhen, feeling the two of them could keep their composure — true archaeological material.

At this moment, also because of what Zhang Lin had said,

Professor Chen, looking at these skins again, suddenly had a flash of insight.

"I think this might be one of his methods of immortality."

"I estimate Lu Lu Shangwang's immortality is somewhat similar to rejuvenation."

"Although his body lies here in this bronze coffin, it is undergoing changes every moment."

"Shedding skin is one form of expression — like a snake, shedding skin is equivalent to a rebirth."

"Still, this is truly unheard of — achieving immortality through such a method!"

What Professor Chen said also reflected the thoughts of many biology and medical experts who had been drawn into the livestream by the topic of immortality.

The appearance of Lu Lu Shangwang's living corpse shocked not only the world's archaeological community.

Biology, medicine, and every other field were stirred up!

After all, that was the legendary immortality!

The very limit of the human body that biological research had spent a lifetime trying to break through!

Even the most advanced biology laboratories in Mi Country, having poured enormous manpower and resources into it, had made no effective progress.

Yet now it had been discovered first by a Summer Country archaeological team!

This caused many experts from other fields, who normally didn't care about archaeological livestreams, to flood into the broadcast.

Upon hearing Professor Chen's inference about the human skins in the coffin, many experts had already begun voicing their views.
