Chapter 566

Walking up to it, Yang Lu just took one look and knew that this person was definitely Xu Lang.

He was wearing the same standard uniform, and since they could see the real space before them when they consumed that thing, it meant that at least what they were seeing now was not an illusion.

The person who had turned into that jade armor to attack them just now was Xu Lang.

What Wang Kai smashed was also Xu Lang's head; the corresponding antidote was revealed from his head, which was why they could now shake off the illusions they had before and see this real environment.

Immediately after, Yang Lu did not hesitate anymore; she took a piece of clothing from her backpack and covered Xu Lang's corpse directly.

She did not excessively examine Xu Lang's corpse.

…….

It was simply because that would be disrespectful to the deceased.

Moreover, the other party was his teammate, and his head had already been smashed; this spoke volumes.

Although Yang Lu did not know how Xu Lang, who had already been blown into two halves, had managed to stitch his body back together, she figured it must have something to do with the things hidden inside the Ancient City of Jingjue.

Hu Hu Bayi, who usually dared to offer suggestions, was also in a daze at this moment; he really didn't know what to do next.

At this time, he could only look at Yang Lu and ask, "Leader Yang, what should we do next?"

Shen Qiong was still calm, holding her arms, her attention entirely on that small coffin.

She believed that Wang Kai was right about one thing—even if it was unintentional, he had pointed out the crux of the matter; the key lay in this coffin.

And right now, Young Master Zhao and Wang Kai had both fainted, so there was no need to worry about them for the time being.

If it were normal times, Yang Lu would definitely find a way to deal with Xu Lang's corpse first; after all, when Wang Kai woke up, if he saw that corpse again, he might have the same reaction as before.

Taking a step back, if there were no coffin and these two mummies here, then Yang Lu would definitely just find an opening and leave directly!

Now, after checking, she discovered that there were exactly eight entrances in this space; no one knew which one was the correct one.

If Zhang Lin were still at the Crescent Hotel, he would definitely give corresponding advice, but at this moment, Yang Lu threw such thoughts to the back of her mind.

Even if they had to spend the night here until tomorrow night waiting for Zhang Lin to appear, they could not choose to give up on themselves now.

They must find a way to investigate what was going on here.

And the key to opening the next set of questions must lie with the coffin; otherwise, it wouldn't have appeared here out of thin air.

Yang Lu did not answer Hu Hu Bayi at this time; instead, she walked toward the location of the coffin.

She looked at the murals there; compared to the murals in the Prince of Gumo's tomb, the murals here appeared even simpler, but they were easier to understand than those.

The information recorded on the mural was very simple; Yang Lu watched for a while, and at almost the same time, both she and Shen Qiong had their eyes widened.

Yang Lu stepped back two paces involuntarily; Hu Hu Bayi was not paying attention to the mural at all, but was looking at Wang Kai's condition.

That blow just now had only knocked Wang Kai unconscious; he was terrified that Wang Kai's subsequent reaction would also be because he was controlled by the residual Corpse-Fragrant Konjac pollen here.

After this series of events, Hu Hu Bayi could no longer be certain that what they had consumed was absolutely effective.

Conservatively speaking, it could only be said to be temporarily effective; since the word "temporarily" had to be added, they still had to remain cautious at all times.

Yang Lu originally meant the same thing.

And at this time, Yang Lu stepped back two paces, looking at Shen Qiong's gaze.

Sure enough, Shen Qiong had also made a discovery; the two of them had a tacit understanding and remained calm.

Hu Hu Bayi asked at this time, "Leader Yang, what does the mural say?"

He had glanced at the mural just now and knew that according to this form, Yang Lu should be able to understand it, so he didn't go to look at the mural himself.

If Hu Hu Bayi had also seen the mural, his expression would certainly have been the same as the two of them.

At this time, the camera swept over the mural, and the live chat couldn't help but start discussing it.

[What does this mural mean? Real and fake, illusory and substantial—why does it feel so strange?]

[Are you stupid? There are five people drawn on the mural; what does this mean?]

[What else could it mean? Don't tell me this represents the five of them?]

[Exactly, this represents the five of them.]

[That's not right; why is one person in that appearance, looking like a monster?]

[The answer might be right here; why would Leader Yang have that expression? It's precisely because one of the five of them is a monster.]

[What the hell? A monster?!]

[Exactly, a monster, the incarnation of the devil; this mural has indirectly produced such a prophecy.]

[Impossible, it must be another illusion.]

[Stop bringing up illusions; after taking that medicine, at least for now, they can't see the corresponding illusions.]

[They couldn't see them just now, but it's not impossible that they can see them again now.]

[You contrarian, I'm not talking to you anymore.]

In fact, it is often very difficult to distinguish the truth, especially in this kind of illusion that can even deceive the camera lens.

Yang Lu and Shen Qiong were precisely because they had seen through the content of the mural that they had this look in their eyes.

They were also hesitating in their hearts about this point: was this mural fake, just used to deceive them?

If not, then relatively speaking, there was a prophecy in this regard, proving that when they came in, one person was already not human, but a monster.

Why did they turn into a monster?

It was very likely inseparable from Xu Lang's change.

Perhaps it was also because they had consumed something, or were affected by the environment as a whole, that they turned out like this.

So what Yang Lu didn't understand was that if someone suddenly changed at this time, she could still understand it.

At least she could find this person directly, but now there was no abnormal change in the five of them.

Even if Wang Kai was so agitated just now, it was because he saw Xu Lang's corpse.

Could it be that the biggest suspect among them was really Wang Kai?

It was precisely because he saw the corpse that he had such a reaction; otherwise, he wouldn't have pushed her away so rudely when she tried to stop him.

At that moment, Yang Lu felt that Wang Kai was not only losing control of his spirit, but his entire body's strength had also increased quite a bit.

However, from the beginning, everyone's impression of Wang Kai was that he had some strength; at this time, because of excessive agitation or the anger triggered by those events.

It was possible that he suddenly became immensely strong!

Yang Lu suddenly became confused; she really couldn't give herself a reasonable explanation in her heart anymore.

If she couldn't find that person under this premise, then all the previous logic might have to be overturned.

Zhang Lin, who was watching the live stream, took a deep breath at this time.

He looked at the time; less than half an hour had passed, and they had experienced far too much.

And now, the most difficult hurdle had arrived; if they kept getting tangled up here, they might not be able to find the path ahead.

Or even if they found it, they might not be able to get all five of them out.

Only Zhang Lin understood that this was the final hurdle before the coffin.

Relatively speaking, any explanation was pale; even if Zhang Lin gave that answer, in the end, driven by the environment, they would still make the same choice.

And in these choices, most things were forced!
