Isn't this just a big taro? It just happens to glow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Hu Bayi patted Wang Pangzi and immediately said: \"Your previous guess was reliable; maybe this really is the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac. 'Big taro' and such is too ridiculous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Pangzi scratched his head, recalling the projection of the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac he had seen at the wellhead, and then said: \"That's not right; we've all seen the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac before, and it doesn't look like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Wang Pangzi raised his gun barrel, grinned, and before anyone could react, he said: \"I'll fire a burst first; no matter what it is, let's hit it first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Wang Pangzi was about to pull the trigger, a hand directly grabbed the position of his gun barrel; it was Yang Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only said slowly: \"Go over and check the situation first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Lu naturally considered more than others at this moment; moreover, in the current situation, anyone who was even slightly cautious would not agree with Wang Pangzi's opinion. The key was that if this were really done...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the consequences triggered would be something they couldn't bear at all. This was also the reason Yang Lu stopped Wang Pangzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Zhang Lin had said that there were no longer any mechanism-like things in this tomb, except for the final coffin of the Queen of Jingjue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no mechanisms did not mean no danger. Correspondingly, Zhang Lin had already left the Crescent Hotel today; if they continued to act recklessly and triggered some accident, then there would be no one left to cover for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All dangers had to be borne by themselves; Yang Lu could not accept such a result no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Lin had already made it very clear before that the crises they would face next would all be sudden; this meant they had to think clearly about every step before taking it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was absolutely not about rushing up brainlessly every time they encountered a situation; moreover, Zhang Lin had also said that in this Ancient City of Jingjue, one should never believe what one sees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that what they were seeing now was very likely created by hallucinations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Yang Lu did not rush to send someone to scout the path, but instead said: \"I will emphasize to everyone again: remember what Mr. Zhang said before he left the scene. The things we see are not necessarily real, so we must be extremely careful in everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just at this moment, Hu Hu Bayi kicked Wang Pangzi in the thigh; although he didn't say anything, he still glared fiercely at the other person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Pangzi was not annoyed by this; instead, he scratched his head in embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he said with an apologetic tone: \"Sorry, Team Leader Yang, you know I'm just a brute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the people of the Second Archaeological Team couldn't help but laugh, as did those watching the live stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[People are valuable for having self-awareness; from this perspective, this Master Pang is quite cute.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Jokes aside, what exactly is the situation right now?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If only Mr. Zhang were at the Crescent Hotel; now we're blind.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Does this even need to be said? Isn't it obvious? Isn't it just the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Can't be so arbitrary. Look at Team Leader Yang; she understands to check the situation first. Maybe what we see is all fake.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Anyway, it's definitely not a big taro, hahahaha!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, not everyone was as optimistic as him; they all held an extremely nervous mindset and were not particularly optimistic about the matter itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the points actually came from one place: it wasn't about how dangerous the subsequent things were, but that Zhang Lin had already left the Crescent Hotel and would no longer provide any guidance to the Second Archaeological Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Zhang Lin had already made it very clear before, this still didn't stop those watching the live stream from dwelling on this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the atmosphere of the Second Archaeological Team also adjusted; a hint of relief appeared on everyone's faces, but their hearts were not relaxed at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Pangzi naturally volunteered to scout the path, but in the next moment, a hand pressed onto each of his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hand came from Hu Hu Bayi, and the other was naturally Yang Lu's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Wang Pangzi said himself, he had an impulsive personality and was a hothead, so he was absolutely not the most suitable person to scout the path at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pulling Wang Pangzi back, Yang Lu said calmly: \"I'll go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Hu Hu Bayi, who had never once contradicted this Team Leader Yang, had a different opinion at this time; he immediately said: \"Team Leader Yang, let me go instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Lu was just about to refuse the other's proposal, but Hu Hu Bayi said: \"Team Leader Yang, I understand what you mean, but you just said that the road ahead is unknown. While you scouting the path yourself is the safest, what if there is something you can't handle for the moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or if you are affected by something, wouldn't we be completely without a backbone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Hu Hu Bayi say this, Yang Lu was stunned for a moment, and for a time, she didn't know how to refute Hu Hu Bayi's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she could only sigh and nod!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yang Lu's reaction, a flash of joy appeared on Hu Hu Bayi's face, while Wang Pangzi said: \"Old Hu, I'll go with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Hu Bayi immediately shook his head and said: \"We still need someone to stay behind to do the heavy lifting. You cannot have any accidents. If I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Hu Hu Bayi could finish speaking, Wang Pangzi punched him heavily in the chest and said: \"Damn it, stop saying such unlucky things. I won't go with you, but Old Hu, remember, you must come back alive, otherwise I won't be able to answer to our mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Hu Hu Bayi grinned, patted Wang Pangzi's shoulder heavily, and didn't say anything, just nodded heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Lang!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Holy crap! Is this guy crazy?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[What is this situation? Too sudden, right?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[He must be crazy, otherwise he would never make such a choice!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Not necessarily! Don't forget, this Xu Lang already had thoughts of giving up before.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the reason everyone was shocked was only one: while no one was paying attention to him, Xu Lang had rushed up alone just as Yang Lu and Hu Hu Bayi were deciding who would scout the path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't walk over, but sprinted over, towards that purple \"big taro,\" as if that thing had an immense temptation for him, rushing over without caring about anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Yang Lu did not rush over directly; instead, her eyes narrowed slightly!\u003C\u002Fp>",1187,"2026-06-16T21:55:28.968Z","2026-06-16T22:03:06.088Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","8716768c3d9a960a2a3de2113a4c8b88f821cc5c895754101a29171d0dc687b0","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-535","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-533",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--cover.jpg"]
