It has this effect?! I've never heard of it!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Don't use your hobbies to challenge my profession, understand?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[They didn't even say anything about hobbies, what are you showing off for?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Look at the avatar they have hanging; isn't it an acupuncture diagram? If they knew even a little bit, they wouldn't ask such a stupid question.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[That's right, this intern is right. If the Hundred Convergences acupoint is hit with such heavy force, all the meridians in the body will follow in reverse, thereby triggering pain.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wouldn't that cause some irreversible trauma?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The magical point is right here: as long as the force is mastered with enough precision, not only will there be no damage, but on the contrary, it can make the blocked meridians become active.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This statement is a bit of a stretch, right? Can't things like cerebral infarction be treated this way?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I said the force must be precise enough. No one can control the force that precisely; not everyone is the Chief of the Moving Mountains!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Lin, who was still watching the live stream, couldn't help but sigh, because at this time, no matter how you hit the Hundred Convergences acupoint or how you make Hu Hu Bayi feel pain, even if you cut off his arm, he wouldn't wake up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the problem didn't lie there at all. Immediately, Zhang Lin checked the time again; according to his estimation, if Yang Lu couldn't think of that core method—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to this time calculation, it should be in time for his storytelling tomorrow. As long as they didn't give up on Hu Hu Bayi and kept carrying him to walk the path ahead, it would be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relatively speaking, if Young Master Zhao had encountered this situation, it would be miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm afraid no one would be willing to carry him all the way forward; even if Yang Lu gave the order for Wang Kai or Hu Hu Bayi to carry the two, it would be a state of unwillingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it was Hu Hu Bayi who was injured, there were no such concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Yang Lu didn't give the order, Wang Kai would stubbornly carry him all the way. Zhang Lin at least believed one thing: the friendship between these two was incredibly sincere, even if Hu Hu Bayi really died here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Kai would still, with that one-in-ten-thousand chance, carry his corpse out with him and would not let his brother be buried in the Ancient City of Jingjue to be buried with that old hag in the eyes of all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this time, in the Second Archaeological Team, they saw that under the heavy blow to his Hundred Convergences acupoint, Hu Hu Bayi, who was inside the coffin, was indeed as Yang Lu had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Hu Bayi's whole body began to convulse, and the next moment his eyes suddenly opened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Wang Kai's face showed joy, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore; his whole face stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because at this moment, there was a pale purple light in Hu Hu Bayi's eyes; it seemed that the pain caused by the convulsions throughout his body forced him to open his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Wang Kai completely realized the seriousness of the problem and also understood why Yang Lu had made that judgment before, which was that the Corpse Fragrance Konjac must be everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this purple light already fully explained that situation; in the entire Ancient City of Jingjue, only the Corpse Fragrance Konjac would emit this kind of eerie purple light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Hu Bayi had been controlled after entering here, but a new problem arose: why hadn't they encountered a similar situation after entering here, and instead were able to fight with that fake Hu Hu Bayi and capture him alive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Yang Lu naturally saw this situation too, and on this basis, she had to be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She naturally thought the same as Wang Kai: some people were controlled, some were not; this Corpse Fragrance Konjac might have made certain choices itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps there were certain limitations on the requirements for willpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But judging from Xu Lang and Xiao Peng, one could guess the latter. However, Hu Hu Bayi's willpower had always been very strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, he was still controlled by the Corpse Fragrance Konjac, and a faint purple light had already flashed in his pupils, so this problem had to be thought about from another angle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the choices they were making now concerned everything that followed. Yang Lu understood that without Zhang Lin's guidance, they might face a situation where one wrong step leads to every step being wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had to go back and do some things later, then everything before would be delayed; they simply didn't have the time or the mood to do these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in normal times, they could perform experiments an infinite number of times, but now, any experiment might cost a life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Kai's pupils were already blood-red; it wasn't that he was also controlled, but that he was instinctively filled with worry about Hu Hu Bayi's situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, Wang Kai at least understood one thing: Hu Hu Bayi's current situation might eventually become as difficult to control as Xu Lang and Xiao Peng's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he would turn into a monster, and at that time, even if he didn't want to kill him, he might not be able to help it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Xu Lang, even though he was a teammate in the archaeological team, Wang Kai could eventually bring himself to kill him, but for Hu Hu Bayi, if he had to do it himself, Wang Kai swore he would never have the heart to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Zhang Lin was no longer appearing, Wang Kai's only hope right now was Yang Lu, so he looked at Yang Lu with eager, even pleading eyes and said: \"Team Leader Yang, will Old Hu become like Xu Lang? What should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Kai asking this question actually revealed the words he hadn't said yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he became like Xu Lang and Xiao Peng, then his fate would be the only one. Relatively speaking, he didn't want to kill his brother with his own hands, but he wanted even less for his brother to just become a monster and live neither human nor ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Kai believed that as long as Hu Hu Bayi had consciousness, he wouldn't make such a choice either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Lu took a deep breath and shook her head immediately; it wasn't that she couldn't give Wang Kai a definitive answer, but that she really didn't understand what the situation was right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was that Hu Hu Bayi only struggled for a few seconds, and before everyone could react, he had already fallen into a coma again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering this situation, perhaps Hu Hu Bayi wouldn't turn into that kind of monster. At first, after they saw the changes in Xu Lang and Xiao Peng and destroyed that Corpse Fragrance Konjac, they thought they had mastered the way to deal with this thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it seemed that everything was in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Corpse Fragrance Konjac seemed to be constantly changing, leaving them with no clue at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't have better means to deal with such changes, and under this premise, it seemed they could only choose to sit and wait for death.\u003C\u002Fp>",1279,"2026-06-16T21:55:28.968Z","2026-06-16T22:03:06.088Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","430048b993ad8b260194a4376864b5af6965344ac574a3e564b088cef6096c71","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-556","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-554",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--cover.jpg"]
