Give the order, what exactly should we do next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yang Lu looked at the coffin and said, \"Hu Hu Bayi is right, let’s open the coffin first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, after hearing this sentence, a strange look flashed in Hu Hu Bayi’s eyes. He suddenly said loudly, \"Team Leader Yang, I feel my suggestion just now wasn’t very mature. Let’s follow Old Wang’s suggestion and look at that dried corpse first. What if there’s some mechanism connected under the coffin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After hearing this sentence, Yang Lu looked at Hu Hu Bayi deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A look of surprise appeared in her eyes. From just now, Yang Lu had felt that something was not quite right.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But why it was not right, Yang Lu hadn’t figured out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Perhaps it was also because too many things had happened in the Ancient City of Jingjue, and some things and some people, Yang Lu couldn’t judge now!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There was also a most important reason: there were too few usable people around her, mainly relying on Hu Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi, as well as Shen Qiong.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, Shen Qiong was a loose cannon.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She could be counted on at critical moments, but in general situations, she wouldn’t speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yang Lu hoped for someone who could help her analyze the situation in the tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But such a person didn’t exist!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hu Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi would give some suggestions sometimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, their guesses were basically not very reliable. The only one who could help her analyze problems was Professor Sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now Professor Sun was gone, and it was meaningless for Yang Lu to think about these things!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And after hearing Hu Hu Bayi’s words, Wang Pangzi was also stunned and couldn’t help but scratch his head. His next words were even more explicit than Yang Lu’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Pangzi couldn’t help but say, \"Old Hu, what’s wrong with you today? This isn’t like you. Usually, you would flatly deny my decisions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In fact, there was nothing wrong with opening the coffin first. He originally thought Hu Hu Bayi was accommodating him at this time, which was of course the reason Wang Pangzi found it strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was precisely because he had a full understanding of Hu Hu Bayi, and also had self-knowledge about himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In fact, all the suggestions he made at the beginning, no matter what the matter was, were basically relatively arbitrary judgments, and Hu Hu Bayi would correspondingly have complements and propose other suggestions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The two were like this in private too!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was the first time Hu Hu Bayi agreed with what Wang Pangzi said, so he couldn’t help but be strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After hearing this sentence, Hu Hu Bayi couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But soon, he just grinned and didn’t continue to say anything, as if he was afraid that saying the wrong word would bring unnecessary trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yang Lu seemed to have understood some things at this time, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This smile was neither strange nor weird, but came entirely from Yang Lu’s cognition!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just at this time, Zhang Lin, who was watching the live stream, suddenly laughed too.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because this smile of Yang Lu’s had already revealed the answer. He believed that the other party had already understood what to be suspicious of, and where the strange place was.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the next moment, some anomalies were also felt in the live stream comments.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Guys, do you feel the atmosphere is a bit strange?】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Yeah, I feel it too. It seems like Hu Hu Bayi is deliberately hiding something?】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Not only that, after he came back, his whole person seems to have changed. It’s too strange.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Didn’t he and Wang Pangzi keep bickering before? The two never stopped.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【Yeah, Wang Pangzi would say one thing, and he would have one thing to say back.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【You say, wouldn’t it be that Wang Pangzi mutated after coming back? Was he also controlled?】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【God damn mutation!!!】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>【The possibility of being controlled cannot be ruled out, but the specific situation depends on what happens below.】\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Within the Second Archaeological Team, Yang Lu pondered for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As the leader of the Ban Shan faction, once she saw some suspicious points, she would absolutely not let them go easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Let alone such an obvious suspicious point as Hu Hu Bayi’s. Just now, when she looked back, she had already felt some things in an instinctive moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And now, although she couldn’t be one hundred percent certain of some situations, at least Hu Hu Bayi was not that trustworthy anymore. She wouldn’t feel at ease leaving her back to Hu Hu Bayi.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Under this premise, Yang Lu became even more calm and composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, wanting to find out if a person really had a problem, the best way was absolutely not to question him to his face; that wouldn’t have any use, unless there was absolute evidence in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yang Lu was only suspicious at the moment. In this situation, the best way was to let the other party expose his own flaws. By then, everything would become indisputable and set in stone, not allowing others to have any more doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The reason for doing this, the most critical point was that this person was Hu Hu Bayi!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hu Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi were very tacit, and they were good brothers. If she spoke out to question Hu Hu Bayi to his face, Wang Pangzi would definitely be the first to stand up and disagree.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This had nothing to do with whether he respected her as a team leader. Yang Lu understood this point very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, regarding Hu Hu Bayi wanting to refute her, the opinion proposed by him just now, Yang Lu couldn’t agree, because it was too obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She didn’t know if this person was still the Hu Hu Bayi from before, but the current matter must be to open the coffin first. Even if Hu Hu Bayi hadn’t said it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yang Lu’s initial decision was also to open the coffin, and not move that golden body of meditation, at least for the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Lin said there was no mechanism, so there must be no mechanism, but what was hidden inside that dried corpse was hard to say. If the pollen of the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac or some medium was in the corpse’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Once it was dissected and something they couldn’t control flew out, it would be too late to turn back!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So the next moment, Yang Lu shook her head firmly and said, \"I still decide to open the coffin first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hu Hu Bayi didn’t speak at this time, but subconsciously and quietly took a step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just watching others approach the coffin, the first to bear the brunt was Wang Pangzi!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He first picked up his military shovel and prepared to pry open the crack of the coffin. He didn’t believe that all coffins were linked to mechanisms like the Prince of Gumo’s tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even without Zhang Lin’s previous warning, he felt this was impossible. Most coffins could still be opened with brute force.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Having such cognition, Wang Pangzi didn’t hesitate anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as he was about to act, the next moment he looked at the opposite side, because according to his habit, whenever he was about to move a coffin, or about to do work, Hu Hu Bayi would definitely be on the opposite side or on his side to help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Watching himself see nothing, not capturing Hu Hu Bayi’s figure, Wang Pangzi couldn’t help but show a look of deep surprise in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next moment, he thought Hu Hu Bayi was right beside him, turned his head to look, and beside him was actually Yang Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hu Hu Bayi was standing far away, standing with other members of the Second Archaeological Team. Beside him were Young Master Zhao and Shen Qiong.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wang Pangzi still didn’t notice too many anomalies at this moment, smiled helplessly, and said, \"Old Hu, what’s your situation? Did that shovel just now really make you anxious? Come over and help quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And Hu Hu Bayi still didn’t move at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>",1402,"2026-06-16T21:55:28.968Z","2026-06-17T08:57:16.085Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9711932e50626d1517a88ce64abf5a60c8aedd910177eb5d732b7c557e41ecb2","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-551","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-549",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--cover.jpg"]
