This is the tomb passage, no mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the comments in the live stream looked at the walls on both sides, all carrying suspicious emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they always felt that these walls looked very familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do you guys feel like you've seen the walls here somewhere before?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Stop guessing blindly; maybe what you see is just a hallucination.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Can hallucinations target the lens? Don't forget that Mr. Zhang said before that the hallucinations here are built together with the Imaginary Space, so naturally, they can deceive the lens.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I can forget this, but the walls themselves do have abnormalities; they are really familiar.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this time, Yang Lu, who was leading the Second Archaeological Team, suddenly stopped in her tracks. She put her finger on the wall, swiped it gently, and then looked at her finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls here had been sealed for thousands of years, and not only was there no dust on them, but they were even stained with a touch of moisture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Lu was stunned immediately, and at this time, Hu Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi also noticed this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Yang Lu had stopped, the few of them didn't dare to walk forward anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Yang Lu said in surprise: \"This is not right; normally we have already passed the Zidu Dark River, and this should be deeper inside. It's impossible to have water vapor evaporated over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only point Yang Lu could think of at the moment was that only the water from the Zidu Dark River could evaporate and enter the tomb chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was that the Zidu Dark River hadn't evaporated for thousands of years. If its water vapor was so large and had been affecting the tomb chamber itself, it would have dried up long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just one point; the second point came from the fact that the Zidu Dark River didn't match the location here at all. Before passing through the Ghost Cave, that might be the source of the Zidu Dark River, or it might be an Imaginary Space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how it was explained, at least they were definitely unrelated to the Zidu Dark River in this orientation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Hu Bayi said subconsciously at this time: \"Team Leader Yang, do you think there might be another dark river hidden here, but we just never knew about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Hu Hu Bayi said this was because he had heard people mention that in terms of Feng Shui in ancient tombs, water is the root of the origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So generally, large tombs definitely have springs. Yang Lu naturally understood what he meant, but still shook her head and said: \"The Zidu Dark River is the only route here. Zhang Lin said before that the key lies in the Dragon Vein. This place itself is the Ancient City of Jingjue, so the Queen of Jingjue didn't need to create those messy things to bless the Feng Shui here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Yang Lu's explanation, everyone couldn't help but nod subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the suspicious gaze in their eyes became even more serious. Yang Lu discovered this point, and it was not wrong; the appearance of water vapor proved that there must be something abnormal inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had come in at the beginning, they naturally wouldn't have had such suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everything they had experienced now made them have to become cautious and think more when seeing any situation. Thinking more might be very tiring, might be useless, but if they didn't think about anything, they might die without even knowing how they died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was absolutely not a joke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group itself was thinking about this matter, but Young Master Zhao, who was at the back of the crowd, was shaking like a sieve at this time, and his whole face was in a distorted state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Shen Qiong who first noticed Young Master Zhao's change and hurriedly asked: \"What's wrong with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear is not terrible; Young Master Zhao had always had no bottom in his heart and carried that look of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no major unexpected situation at this time, so why could Young Master Zhao's fear be deepened to such an extent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, only heard Young Master Zhao say tremblingly: \"I know! It must be the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac again, it must be this thing. You guys think about it, if it didn't rely on water vapor, how could it live for such a long time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing such a conjecture, everyone was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Zhao had unintentionally pointed out some key points, and even Yang Lu had to admit that there was such a possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, Yang Lu took a deep breath and said: \"No matter what it is, we can only continue to walk forward. If soldiers come, block them; if water comes, cover it with earth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Yang Lu say this, no one had any objections. The logic at the moment was not wrong; rather than worrying about things that hadn't happened, it was better to see what was going on in front; that was what they should do most at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Pangzi was afraid that Young Master Zhao would be so scared that he wouldn't even dare to walk behind. This time, he didn't blame Young Master Zhao, nor did he go up directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Xu Lang and Xiao Peng had already had an accident, carrying this kind of fear was not a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only proved that he was still a normal person and hadn't been scared out of his fear nerves; this was unlike those other people, whose fear nerves had almost collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they almost forgot fear, because in this tomb, there were all kinds of crises existing at all times, and it was these crises that could bring them all kinds of fear at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under this premise, they would naturally gradually lose themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without the effect of the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac, it was the same!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just like Xu Lang before. At first, he was controlled, and in the end, Zhang Lin didn't explain why Xu Lang appeared with such changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And everyone didn't carry curiosity in this aspect. According to normal logic, this truth was very simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Lang, after experiencing such things, and having held that attitude of giving up before, under infinite rot, plus the experience was becoming more and more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried that he would become a monster, so his heart and spirit were relatively easier to control than others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also hit the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac's wish; there was no tragedy that happened without a reason; perhaps this was Xu Lang's fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how the Second Archaeological Team thought about it, the comments in the live stream didn't stop discussing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the authorities saw this corridor, a familiar feeling also appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone suddenly remembered what it was, and didn't rush to speak, but made a horizontal comparison between the corridor the First Archaeological Team entered before and this corridor!\u003C\u002Fp>",1317,"2026-06-16T21:55:28.968Z","2026-06-16T22:03:06.088Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c6daade294733804811e59cc4ba7a75adb8b82d865ae6c0819c78b38708472c7","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-544","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-542",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--cover.jpg"]
