Chapter 325

"From today on, I'm sticking to Mr. Zhang. If he doesn't pass down the Touch Gold inheritance to me, I'll just lie on the ground and refuse to leave!"

Tianzhen chuckled, "You'd better take it easy. You think Mr. Zhang is some pushover?"

"With someone like Mr. Zhang, treating him with courtesy and being frank is the best approach."

"Forget about threats and acting shameless — just watch how he deals with you."

Fatty's whole body trembled after hearing this.

A man of extraordinary skill, able to casually perform the Mountain Leader's Kuixing Kick — the Star-Spurning Kick of the chief of the Mountain Movers.

A divine being who, with just a few words, could teach Fatty — a complete outsider — the minor feng shui formations of the Mojin Xiao Wei!

Indeed, he cannot be threatened!

Unless he's willing, no one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do.

Thinking of this, Fatty straightened his attitude and said: "Anyway, now that I know the patriarch is Mr. Zhang, this trip out, I must definitely go pay my respects."

"Just you wait and see, classmate Tianzhen. Next time we enter the sunken ship tomb, this Fatty won't be the same as he is now!"

Tianzhen pursed his lips, too lazy to bother with him, but in his heart he couldn't help feeling wave after wave of envy!

Fatty finally had the chance to learn the true Touch Gold inheritance.

But what about himself?

His family was a hereditary tomb-raiding household of the Laojiu Sect, but he hadn't learned a single skill.

Although he'd now taken the Kirin Blood and his blood could repel insects just like Zhang Tianshi's.

But the abilities he should have had — he didn't possess a single one.

Tianzhen didn't even know whether he'd still have the chance to take part in the next sunken ship tomb.

……

Zhang Lin had no idea what Tianzhen and Fatty were discussing, because the main perspective of the livestream wasn't on the two of them either.

He only noticed, when paying attention to the two, that Fatty's itchy fingers were actually about to pull at the threads on the jade burial suit.

To prevent King Lu Shang's living corpse from undergoing corpse transformation and becoming another blood corpse.

He could only step forward to stop it!

Otherwise, with Tianzhen carrying King Lu Shang on his back, once it turned into a blood corpse, even the gods would have trouble saving him!

Moreover, the officials had finally obtained a complete jade figurine.

Although Zhang Lin knew this thing came from beyond the heavens.

The material used to make it was a piece of meteorite jade that had fallen from the sky.

But whether in the original novel or the TV series, no one had ever systematically studied them.

Even the Wang family — their power was far inferior compared to the officials.

It would be better to let the officials take this thing out and study it properly.

Zhang Lin wanted to know: was it because the meteorite jade contained some kind of radioactive substance that it could grant immortality?

Or was there something inherently problematic about its composition?

Using scientific methods to study immortality might progress very slowly.

But it was a very good way to defuse the hostility in the public's hearts!

As long as the officials were conducting research, people would have hope in their hearts.

Far better than bringing nothing out, yet everyone knowing that an elixir of immortality existed in the world.

At that time, many people would probably go mad with illegal tomb-raiding activities, trying to find a second living corpse, or the elixir of immortality.

Emotions need to be channeled!

Studying King Lu Shang's living corpse was undoubtedly a very good outlet for that.

At this moment, the archaeological team had all crawled out of the tree hollow.

The moment everyone came out, they saw at a glance that beside the tree hollow there was a lot of equipment that didn't belong to the archaeological team.

Not only that, there were also signs of encampment.

This fully proved that the mysterious black-clad men from earlier were operating as a group!

There were not only people inside and outside to coordinate, but the equipment was also so professional.

They'd even arrived at the tree hollow before the archaeological team, and had been waiting for the team to open the coffin for some time!

Special forces Captain Wang saw this and felt furious, his face as if it had been slapped.

He'd previously said that the special forces, working with the local armed forces, had sealed off the entire area — not even a mosquito could fly in.

He hadn't expected that those people had already gotten inside the perimeter long ago.

This wasn't a problem with the special forces' blockade — it was that the clearing hadn't been thorough enough!

Captain Wang immediately began contacting the personnel stationed outside to search the mountain!

From the look of it, he figured the person who'd snatched the purple jade box hadn't left the area yet.

The special forces were busy, and Tianzhen had already taken King Lu Shang off his back.

Now the archaeological team had set up camp a few miles from the tree hollow to rest and reorganize temporarily.

Specialists would come to take the artifacts and King Lu Shang's living corpse away!

In Professor Chen's words, the officials attached great importance to this!

What they sent was a medical team and a biological expert group.

The team medic had already treated the wound on Fatty's shoulder.

As he treated it, the team medic marveled: "Strange. These ring-shaped blisters look exactly as if they came into contact with the most toxic thing and were corroded by it."

"And to reach this extent requires prolonged contact with the pathogen."

"You didn't happen to be sick before entering the tomb, did you?"

Fatty couldn't explain it to the team medic either, so he just brushed it off with a vague laugh.

Once everyone had left the tent and Tianzhen was applying medicine to Fatty alone.

Fatty put on a mysterious face and said, "Tianzhen, I'm going to tell you a secret!"

Tianzhen paused, then said, "What a coincidence, I was about to tell you a secret too."

Fatty couldn't hold it in and immediately said, "What secret could you possibly have!? It definitely can't be as explosive as Fatty's! Listen to mine first!"

"I'll tell you, I think I know who that mysterious person in black is!"

Holy shit!

Tianzhen gave a startled jump and stared at Fatty in astonishment.

"Who is it? And how do you know? That person was wrapped up like a mummy—how could you tell?"

Fatty said smugly, "Heh, Fatty here has a nickname: Human Ruler! Any figure I've ever laid eyes on, I'll never forget!"

Tianzhen frowned and said, "Your eyes are a ruler, but don't they only work on women?"

"Don't tell me… that mysterious person in black is a woman?"

Fatty nodded. "Yep, and a pretty one at that! She's also a relative of your old Wu family!"

A relative of the Wu family?

Tianzhen's heart jolted—could it be…

"You guessed right, it's that Miao girl Lan Si!" Fatty shook his head and said, "Fatty here saw that photo, I would never mistake her figure! It's her!"

Tianzhen's heart was pounding; he truly couldn't understand why Lan Si would get involved, and even dare to snatch something from the authorities.

Fatty asked curiously again, "Hey, what's your secret?"
