Chapter 754: Forget about chopping off fingers! The Corpse Beetle Pill cures the ailment!

~6 min read 1,039 words

Watching Wang Pangzi blink twice, it seemed as if his eyelids were itchy.

Subconsciously, Wang Pangzi wanted to use his hand to touch his eyelid and scratch it!

As soon as his hand was raised, it was grabbed by Zhang Tianshi, who had arrived in two steps, and he shook his head at him.

Wang Pangzi saw that Zhang Tianshi was holding his short blade in his other hand.

He hurriedly pulled his wrist free from Zhang Tianshi's grip.

"We can't joke like this; you don't want to chop off my fingers, do you?"

Zhang Tianshi shook his head; the reason he took out the short blade was to deal with potential danger.

Since Zhang Lin said not to touch the mural with one's hands, it absolutely must not be touched, and the danger that followed might concern Wang Pangzi himself.

It could also be that some mechanism was triggered, causing those eerie things to emerge from the surroundings.

This was Zhang Tianshi's stress response; he didn't explain, but stepped back two paces with the blade in hand, quietly watching the situation around them.

The members of the archaeological team looked at the reactions of these three with confusion.

Fortunately, before they could ask, the official news had already arrived.

It was the same archaeological team member who had asked the question earlier; he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

It must have been the short blade in Zhang Tianshi's hand that gave him inspiration; he subconsciously said, "Fatty, why don't you just chop off those two fingers? In case..."

"Get lost!" Wang Pangzi didn't let him finish his sentence, cursed directly, and glared fiercely at the man.

He thought to himself, even if there was nothing wrong, your jinxing mouth would make something go wrong.

Wang Pangzi still held a glimmer of hope in his heart; he also understood that since Zhang Lin had said so, it would definitely lead to some trouble.

However, Wang Pangzi was firm that he had only touched it for a moment before Wu Xie slapped his hand down.

So nothing would happen.

Inside the Crescent Hotel, many people were still worried about Wang Pangzi's situation; someone hurriedly raised their hand and asked, "Mr. Zhang, Wang Pangzi's finger was on it for half a second; he should be fine, right?"

Zhang Lin shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with how long it was; the key is that he touched the surface layer of the mural."

"You can think of it as a kind of tiny insect, already at the microbial level, but because of the special nature of the mural, it can only be parasitic within a one-centimeter range of the surface."

"If someone who had just entered the tomb touched the mural, there wouldn't be any risk, but they have already been here for over twenty-four hours. Under this premise, their aura has also assimilated with the tomb itself."

"So these microbes will quickly use this layer of aura as a medium to get onto Wang Pangzi, but their best parasitic location is not the fingers, but the pupils."

As soon as these words fell, over at the first archaeological team, Wang Pangzi blinked his eyelids rapidly again.

The blinking just now was because of this inexplicable situation; he not only felt an itch, but his vision suddenly became blurry, and he didn't understand why, so he wanted to rub his eyes.

But he was stopped by Zhang Tianshi.

And after hearing Zhang Lin's words, in an instant, Wang Pangzi seemed to understand something.

Soon, no matter how much he blinked, it was meaningless.

Because before his eyes, it was already pitch black.

Wang Pangzi's heart skipped a beat; if it were anyone else, they would definitely be screaming and collapsing to the ground in fear.

The eyes are the windows to the soul; suddenly losing one's sight is more terrifying than being shot, especially in such an evil place.

No one knew whether the next second or an accident would arrive first here.

But Wang Pangzi's next reaction was not panic, but opening his mouth to curse.

"Damn it! Wang Zanghai is an old bastard!"

Encountering a situation in this tomb, one naturally has to curse the owner.

Wu Xie also realized what had happened at this moment and hurriedly walked over to support him.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense! Who told you to be so handsy!"

Wang Pangzi snorted in anger, but he couldn't argue.

At this moment, a wave of exclamations also erupted in the barrage.

【Holy crap! These microbes are powerful! The reaction is too fast!】

【From the fingertips to the pupils, that probably wasn't even half a minute.】

【Will the people around be affected?】

【Regardless of whether they will, they have already started to worry; look at their state.】

After Wang Pangzi lost his sight, the members of the archaeological team, except for Wu Xie and Zhang Tianshi, all subconsciously took a step back.

They were afraid of suffering the same fate as Wang Pangzi.

After all, they had no idea how these microbes lived or transferred.

Zhang Tianshi walked over at this moment and looked at the position of Wang Pangzi's eyelids.

With this thing parasitic on the pupils, it could be seen even more clearly; Wang Pangzi's black pupils seemed to be covered by a layer of milky white film.

Zhang Tianshi thought that these must be the insects Zhang Lin mentioned.

Wu Xie looked at Zhang Tianshi and asked, "Is there any way?"

Zhang Tianshi shook his head directly; he hadn't even seen the microbes on the mural itself, let alone have a good solution now.

Since Zhang Lin pointed all this out, they would have to wait for him to provide a solution.

Even if Zhang Tianshi had some guesses now, he didn't dare to experiment rashly.

If there was no clear answer, he could make such an attempt.

But since Zhang Lin was here, such an attempt was unnecessary; if it brought any danger to Wang Pangzi, the loss would outweigh the gain.

And inside the Crescent Hotel, those who had been paying attention to Wang Pangzi were also very anxious at this moment. ===== CHAPTER 755 =====
