of course, this was her conjecture, but Yang Lu was also certain that this must be the logic of reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only within such logic could there be a most reasonable explanation for the situation they were currently facing; there was no other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And upon hearing Yang Lu's explanation, Wang Kai nodded subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the real is always better than the false; at this moment, they only needed to face what they had to face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Kai's eyes first fixed on the small coffin, and he said, \"It seems we can only know what we should do next after opening it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Wang Kai said this was because in this mountain belly, apart from the entrance they had come through, there was nothing else!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just now, Yang Lu had clearly told him that because all of them had taken the corresponding antidote.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why the imaginary space had shifted, and the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac could no longer continue to control them in this environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this line of thinking was not absolute; Yang Lu knew that if they completely ignored the matter of the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac now, they would certainly suffer later!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Zhang Lin had not been certain about this matter before, Yang Lu believed her Master must have anticipated the current situation and clearly knew she could find that thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yang Lu was also feeling fortunate in her heart; at least she had not let Zhang Lin down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She believed that based on her understanding of Zhang Lin, he should be nodding in satisfaction at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless, what had to be faced at this moment still had to be faced, yet Yang Lu held reservations about whether they should be in a hurry to open this small coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Yang Lu did not respond to him, Wang Kai maintained full patience at this moment and did not rush to say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, Wang Kai understood one thing: that under the current circumstances, he must not act on his own without Yang Lu's command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a glimmer of light flashed in Yang Lu's eyes, as if she had remembered something; she suddenly looked at Wang Kai and asked without hesitation, \"Wang Kai, take out the small bottle containing the maggots and let me see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Yang Lu thought of this matter was because of this sudden change; she instinctively thought that if everything had truly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the kind of maggots she had seen before were not what they appeared to be to the naked eye, then that would be enough to prove everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Wang Kai was stunned, but he did not say anything; he just subconsciously reached out to his pocket and took out the small bottle from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the contents of the bottle, Wang Kai was instantly dumbfounded; he didn't know how many times this was that Wang Kai dared not believe his own eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bottle had contained maggots before, that was correct, and Wang Kai had no other bottles on him; he had been keeping an eye on it, and it was impossible for it to have been swapped in such a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this, Wang Kai was so surprised at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were even more so, with the exception of Yang Lu, who had already anticipated all of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, everyone's reaction was quick; Hu Hu Bayi immediately said, \"It seems that not only was the space we saw before an illusion, but even that jade armor was one too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Lu couldn't help but take a deep breath and immediately said, \"The question is, who exactly is that jade armor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this question, everyone's brows immediately furrowed, because this speculation was truly too horrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subtext of what Yang Lu was implying meant that what they were facing was very likely a living person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps some kind of zombie transformed from a living person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the people involved in this would not be many, and it might be the very result they least wanted to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And soon, the others didn't even mention this question again, because such a possibility did indeed exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the things in the bottle had a white outer skin, like tofu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside were dark green, agate-like granules, but these granules were very soft, which was why they could digest them after consuming them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scream rang out, and everyone's gaze converged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, all of this was already a common occurrence, and they were even somewhat unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost immediately, they identified that this voice came from Young Master Zhao; it was not surprising for this kid to be easily startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unknown when Young Master Zhao had woken up; at this moment, his body was constantly scooting backward, as if he were avoiding something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Young Master Zhao held his arm up, pointing in one direction, his mouth muttering something constantly; the sound was too soft, and because the distance was too great, no one heard it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Yang Lu had raised that question just now was that she realized not only had they ignored the things in the bottle, but the corpse that had been constantly swaying in the jade armor had also disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, this space had become much smaller compared to the previous hall, yet they had not discovered that there were hidden openings in the pitch-black space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was too dark, no one had discovered them, but these things happened to fall into Young Master Zhao's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He not only saw the opening, but also a corpse beneath the opening; the most critical part was that he had shone his flashlight on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't shone it, but the moment the flashlight beam hit, Young Master Zhao was almost scared to the point of wetting himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything is feared when one starts associating things, and he was also afraid of seeing through the so-called truth; Young Master Zhao knew very well what he had eaten just now, which triggered the associations in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Young Master Zhao woke up, Yang Lu happened to be discussing the issues regarding the hall itself with Hu Hu Bayi and Wang Kai, as well as the things taken out of the small bottle; actually, from far away, Young Master Zhao had also seen it—what exactly was that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this distance, Young Master Zhao should not have been able to see it; it was just that he was too unlucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this space, there was originally only very dim light, and the moment Wang Kai took out that small bottle, he shone his flashlight directly on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even from this distance, Young Master Zhao could see it clearly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that white thing, and then when the flashlight beam shone on that corpse, Young Master Zhao felt a chill run down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only reason for this was that he saw the same thing that looked like tofu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse was none other than Xu Lang; Young Master Zhao understood what might have happened in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was that the ghostly things that had attacked them before were merely created by the cooperation of the imaginary space and the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac, and everything he saw before his eyes was the truth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were just eating those kinds of worms or foul-smelling snake blood, Young Master Zhao would not have had such a reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relatively speaking, what he had eaten this time was brain matter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…….\u003C\u002Fp>",1283,"2026-06-16T21:55:28.968Z","2026-06-16T22:03:06.088Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a62da13223246d08e15deac0b24800999f2fca52d4513c5d62fdc10fe45e35a6","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-565","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-563",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--cover.jpg"]
