She found nothing; this antidote had indeed vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where was the answer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did the antidote go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Lu had observed all of Wang Pangzi’s movements just now; he had merely pushed open the coffin lid, and at this moment, a flash of inspiration struck her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought to herself, could this antidote have fallen into an internal crevice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, she ran back to the coffin and searched the crevices repeatedly, but found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Hu Bayi looked at the coffin; without waiting for Yang Lu to explain, he understood what she was thinking. After all, the only thing Wang Pangzi had touched was this, and it wasn't on his person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't on the surrounding ground either; under these circumstances, this was likely the only answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet there was still no discovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of disappointment could not help but flash across Hu Hu Bayi’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qiong steadied herself at this moment and subconsciously said, \"Team Leader Yang, could the antidote be in that small coffin on the lower level?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the two were stunned simultaneously and looked at Shen Qiong, truly unable to understand why she would have such a conjecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Shen Qiong did not take it to heart, smiling helplessly as she said, \"I feel this possibility cannot be ruled out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this were normal times, her conjecture would be nothing short of a fantasy, and no one would pay it any mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon second thought, Yang Lu also felt it was very reasonable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be strange if something strange didn't happen now; after all, they had experienced far too many bizarre things along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, under this premise, many things had become commonplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, that dilemma surged back into their minds: whether or not to open this coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Lu believed that opening this coffin did not require any guidance from Zhang Lin, because the answer was right there. It seemed as if the person who placed this coffin was waiting for them to open it; otherwise, there wouldn't have been that sound earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a long time, Yang Lu sighed, shook her head, and said, \"Even if that possibility truly exists, we cannot touch the coffin now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qiong nodded slowly. In truth, she had just said it casually; she naturally understood the stakes. If they were to open the coffin at this moment, it would definitely not be the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already very late, and they had been walking all day, feeling extremely exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst their fatigue, the three arranged their night watch shifts and fell asleep one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This day, they had experienced a sandstorm, the imaginary space beehive, and the collapse of the main hall of the Ancient City of Jingjue; all of this had subjected everyone’s spirit to different kinds of shocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before resting, they still chose to tie up Zhao Young Master and Wang Pangzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, Wang Pangzi had not yet regained consciousness. Hu Hu Bayi truly hoped that after he woke up, he would be like a normal person, no longer controlled by those hallucinations. However, Hu Hu Bayi also understood that this was merely his wishful thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything had to wait for tomorrow to arrive. He also believed that as long as the next dozen or so hours passed safely, all would be well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Zhang Lin sat back down at the Crescent Hotel, basically all problems could be solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could even head straight to the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they encountered any crisis, they would have a sense of certainty in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like when they entered here and saw the coffin; if Zhang Lin had been at the Crescent Hotel at that time, they naturally wouldn't have encountered so much trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they wouldn't be struggling with what choice to make; as long as they followed Zhang Lin’s orders, everything would be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking chaotically, Hu Hu Bayi’s eyelids grew heavy, and he slowly fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhang Lin could not help but heave a sigh of relief; this was the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For them, they absolutely must not rashly open that coffin, otherwise, they would be met with more doubts and even greater crises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key lay in the fact that while the things inside the coffin seemed harmless, the information they projected left everyone unsure of how to choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as long as they opened it while Zhang Lin was storytelling, there would be no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Correspondingly, Zhang Lin would provide the most reasonable explanation at the first opportunity, allowing the hesitation held in everyone’s hearts to vanish completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Lin was very clear about the current Second Archaeological Team; it was not scary for anyone to fall into madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Yang Lu remained clear-headed, it would be fine. Relatively speaking, the things inside the coffin were very likely to influence Yang Lu. As for the voice that appeared in her mind earlier, it was nothing more than some clever mechanisms left behind by the so-called Ancient Sage clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, these things were all based on the premise of the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they hadn't had that antidote appear earlier, they would have already fallen into a situation of mutual slaughter. But as it stood, such an antidote could sustain them for the night without any problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the main reason why Zhang Lin could heave a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhang Lin checked the time; it seemed about right. He closed the live broadcast screen and walked out of the Crescent Hotel without greeting anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made his way to a quiet street corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was what the few of them had agreed upon from the start; the moment the scene evolved on the side of the Second Archaeological Team, the four people from the First Archaeological Team had already sent a signal to Zhang Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether to meet at the Crescent Hotel depended on Zhang Lin’s arrangements!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhang Lin did not have such an intention, then correspondingly, they would follow his advice and choose another place to meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this matter had to remain secret; only Zhang Lin knew whether the other people at the Crescent Hotel were trustworthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Crescent Hotel itself, Zhang Lin actually didn't have too many hesitations; the key lay in Yin Yin Nanfeng, whose curiosity was simply too heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by all that curiosity, whenever Yin Yin Nanfeng had a spare moment, she would keep asking him indirectly whether the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box had been opened, and what was inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……. ===== CHAPTER 995 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",1294,"2026-06-16T22:03:06.088Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","779a320311f0a32a8cd13f71a1b348267fcbc6b08fd29ea41df843fcc875bf47","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-574","i-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--chapter-572",577,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-tomb-raiding-storyteller-exposing-the-old--cover.jpg"]
