The next moment, he closed his eyes and stood foolishly in place, waiting for the light to fade completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as some in the live stream comments had guessed, Yang Lu seemed to have sensed it immediately as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there something wrong with the Night-Shining Pearl above the dome? Was that why it emitted such strong light, or was it the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the latter was quickly dismissed by Yang Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because no matter how powerful or bizarre the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac was, the light it emitted was always purple, not this kind of brightness. As long as it wasn't the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac, Yang Lu felt more at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least after taking that antidote, there was no need to worry too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Master Zhao’s incessant wailing stopped abruptly. Yang Lu’s heart skipped a beat, as she instinctively felt she should have heard other sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Shen Qiong remained silent, Wang Kai and Hu Hu Bayi would have more or less voiced questions regarding such a situation. Even without opening their eyes, the faint light through their eyelids would have made them realize the light was fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Lu listened for over ten seconds, her ears twitching slightly, and only after hearing no sound did she slowly open her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the intense light just now, opening her eyes left her dazed for a moment, and she couldn't see the scene in front of her clearly. She blinked hard and, seeing that everyone was still there, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the very next moment, Yang Lu, like the viewers watching the stream, gasped in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Is this f*cking spatial teleportation? This is too ridiculous?!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[No, it doesn't fit the concept of spatial teleportation. Even the Imaginary Space doesn't have such an ability.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Maybe the Queen of Jingjue is still alive and used her eyes to teleport them into this space.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Don't guess blindly. Mr. Zhang hasn't even said whether the Queen of Jingjue is still alive.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[But then how do you explain this?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Are you stupid? It can't teleport itself, but this space can undergo changes on its own.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[That's right! If the space itself changed, it means everything they saw at the beginning was an illusion.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Exactly. Although the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac can't make them hallucinate—it can't control their will under the effect of the antidote and snake blood—it can influence their judgment.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Thus, the Imaginary Space changed, and they didn't have any reaction at all.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such speculation within the live chat was undoubtedly reasonable; Zhang Lin could not help but nod as he watched this scene, as everything was developing exactly as he had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Successfully seeing the real environment was the key to finding the Queen of Jingjue’s coffin only after solving this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zhang Lin also understood that this was relatively the most difficult part to handle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was the choice Yang Lu had to face; this was the hardest place to pass through in the entire Ancient City of Jingjue, aside from the area with the Queen of Jingjue’s coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Lin couldn't even help them much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the main reason he had decisively chosen to exit at the beginning, because there were too many things he could only explain the key to, but could not give the other party the corresponding choice, so it had no meaning to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yang Lu also understood why they hadn't spoken or made any sounds just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Hu Bayi and Wang Kai’s nerves were already quite thick; under this premise, they naturally maintained a calm attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And before Yang Lu said that sentence, they had actually already closed their eyes. When they instinctively wanted to open them, they heard Yang Lu’s shout, so they naturally kept their eyes closed and continued to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They waited for the bright light to disappear before opening their eyes. Right now, only Young Master Zhao was still curled up in the corner, his body and eyes tightly shut, and a careful observer would notice that although his expression was ferocious...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His whole body was curled into a ball, but he had already fainted at this moment and had no conscious awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this time, no one paid him any mind; the most important thing right now was to see what the situation was here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, they were in a grand hall with a dome featuring a glowing Night-Shining Pearl. At this moment, they had changed locations to a mountain cave; there were no meticulously carved murals on either side, nor those burial objects or items suppressing the Feng Shui position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had completely turned into another scene, and the previous jade armor had also disappeared!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing they could see was the previous seated golden body, but something extra had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous huge coffin had disappeared, replaced by a very small coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sitting next to that seated golden body was a dried corpse that was shorter than it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Kai really couldn't believe what he was seeing. His first reaction wasn't to ask, but to walk toward the seated golden body, because only by leaning on it did Wang Kai feel he could determine whether all of this was real or illusory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking at the attire of that seated golden body, Wang Kai shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he himself had already undergone a change; the hand gesture of the golden body that had just achieved enlightenment remained the same, but his attire had completely transformed into a style that was neither traditional nor modern, a look they had never seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Wang Kai subconsciously said: \"Team Leader Yang, could it be that that thing has come again, and the antidote we took didn't have much effect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Lu sighed at this moment; if she still couldn't react at this time, she wouldn't be worthy of being the Leader of the Moving Mountain School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then said faintly: \"No, you've got it backward. What we saw before was the fake one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Kai was stunned upon hearing this, then said: \"Then is the scene seen in the live stream real? Why didn't the authorities send us a message?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Lu immediately shook her head and said: \"What is seen in the live stream is the same as what we see. Don't forget, there is still the Imaginary Space here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…….\u003C\u002Fp>",1386,"2026-06-16T21:55:28.968Z","2026-06-16T22:03:06.088Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","af9fcd925f40b0810db7c17a985fb561570640318d2cf5f6cf4db46996fa5f95","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-564","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-562",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--cover.jpg"]
