Chapter 751

Any major tomb is probably like this — once you're in, there's no going back the way you came.

Some people thought they could just dig a tunnel out, but that idea was rather naive.

If any kind of tunnel could be dug out from here, then there wouldn't have been that earlier tunnel beneath the twelve female corpses pressing down the coffin lid.

No matter when those previous people came, at the very least they couldn't get out by digging a tunnel.

They could only wander aimlessly inside, and those tunnels themselves were carved out within the internal structure.

Given that premise, how to get out became the hardest problem to solve.

Actually Fatty and the others had thought of this from the start, especially Zhang Tianshi — when he came in, he was already thinking about a way out.

After all, no one wants to be trapped in a tomb for life, and being trapped means death.

There was far too much clutter and chaos here, but just when Zhang Tianshi couldn't come up with any good plan, Zhang Lin over there gave the answer.

But right now no one knew why it was connected to this dried corpse — what necessary link was there between the two?

Most people's guesses came from the mechanism on the dried corpse itself.

As long as the mechanism on the dried corpse resonated with some mechanism in the tomb, the opening would automatically unlock.

The livestream audience in particular was convinced of this.

After all, they had already seen the Archaeology Team Two escape from the Gumo Prince's tomb.

The mechanism there was linked to the tomb, and in the end Yang Lu passed the test inside the Gumo Prince's coffin.

That's how they escaped with their lives!

The tomb passage doors reopened, and the same went for the eight cages from before.

When Fatty heard this explanation, he actually breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Zhang Lin wasn't really planning to preserve the dried corpse — he was going to make use of it.

This made Fatty feel a bit better. He had no desire to let Wang Wang Canghai keep his whole body after death, having roamed free for so many years!

All of this came from Fatty's subjective thinking, or rather, from a person's conscience.

Most people thought the same way he did.

After all, good is rewarded with good, evil with evil — it's not that the payback hasn't come, the time just hasn't arrived.

What Fatty had set his heart on was that he himself was Wang Wang Canghai's retribution.

Although the two of them certainly couldn't have met while this man was alive, now that he was dead, Fatty absolutely couldn't let him rest too peacefully.

If before Fatty had only just entertained this thought, then now — or rather, when he saw Wang Wang Canghai using the light reflected off the murals to create a parallax effect and smile at them — his resolve to act was firmly set.

The official personnel, after all, didn't know that Fatty could hear the livestream from the New Moon Inn.

So when they learned that their way out was necessarily connected to the dried corpse, they hurriedly notified the group here.

Hearing this news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment Fatty threw an arm around Wu Tianzhen's shoulder and asked: "Tianzhen, what exactly does Mr. Zhang mean? I don't see anything strange about these murals — why is the way to obtain the Snake-browed Bronze Fish so complicated?"

"And can the mechanism linked beneath this dried corpse open some kind of passage?"

The reason Fatty raised such questions was precisely because his attitude was actually the same as those viewers in the livestream.

Since the Snake-browed Bronze Fish itself moves within the dried corpse's body, the way to open the exit must also involve some kind of mechanism.

Tianzhen didn't rush to make a judgment, but instead looked at Zhang Tianshi, only to see him silent at that moment, as if unwilling to speak.

Then Wu Tianzhen turned his head and said: "I can't keep up with Mr. Zhang's line of thinking — let's just see what he has to say. But since Wang Wang Canghai's tomb is this sinister, it wouldn't be strange for it to involve any kind of mechanism."

Hearing this, Fatty shot Wu Tianzhen a look and immediately said: "Isn't that just nonsense? It's the same as saying nothing."

Wu Tianzhen was quite displeased hearing this. The next moment, he shrugged his shoulders and directly shook off Fatty's hand.

Then he went on: "If you think what I said is nonsense, then figure it out yourself — like you always do, ready to grab your weapon at the drop of a hat. If Mr. Zhang hadn't shown up in time to warn you, you'd probably have already hacked this dried corpse to pieces by now."

Fatty smacked his lips, knowing he was in the wrong, and didn't say anything more.

At this point, seeing Zhang Tianshi maintain that attitude, the members of the archaeology team also fell silent one after another.

And they did nothing, knowing the only thing they had to do was wait.

Wait for Zhang Lin to give them a definite answer.

Whether it was the luminous pearl above or the Snake-browed Bronze Fish inside the dried corpse's belly, the result was the same.

Once they obtained these, they could leave with peace of mind, and this undersea tomb expedition could come to a safe end.

Of course, that sense of safety was nothing more than something they had constructed in their own minds.

Zhang Lin had never said that the process of extracting the Snake-browed Bronze Fish would necessarily be safe and sound.

Nor had he said that their escape was because the corpse itself was connected to a mechanism.

The next moment, Zhang Lin in the New Moon Inn continued: "How to get out — we'll talk about that later. As long as you don't damage the dried corpse itself, that's enough."

"Let me first talk about the connection between these murals and the Snake-browed Bronze Fish hidden inside the dried corpse — this all goes back to that visual disparity from before."

Hearing this, Zhang Lin's tone didn't pause, but everyone instinctively checked the time.

Just as Zhang Lin was about to open his mouth and continue, someone directly raised a hand. Zhang Lin was taken aback, but out of respect he still let the person speak.

This person hurriedly asked: "Mr. Zhang, I wonder if you'll be able to finish today?"
