Chapter 859: Found the corpse-fragrant konjac, found the coffin

This time, everyone heard it very clearly. Zhang Lin said "everyone," which made many people listening to the book swallow their saliva subconsciously.

They instinctively felt very disgusted when they thought about the previous things.

If it were just simple snake blood, it would be fine, but the key was that it was also mixed with internal organs and some completely indescribable things.

Even if the people listening to the book couldn't smell anything at the moment, imagination was enough to support all their worries.

【Everyone has to apply snake blood? Mr. Zhang, are you sure you aren't joking?】

【Hehe, have you ever seen Mr. Zhang joke about such things?】

【But... this is too disgusting, right? To have snake blood mixed with internal organs all over one's body?】

【Sigh—in the end, this is for the good of the Second Archaeological Team, otherwise they would be influenced by the corpse-fragrant konjac pollen.】

Based on Zhang Lin's previous explanation, everyone had already formed a basic concept of the corpse-fragrant konjac.

This involved mental toxins, which were the most difficult to handle, and as early as the Tomb of the Prince of Gumo, Zhang Lin had stated directly that even wearing a gas mask would be useless.

That meant this thing was completely a microscopic structure that could penetrate everywhere.

And the hallucinations it brought were originally thought by everyone to be unpredictable. Zhang Lin didn't describe them because no words could be clearer than intuitive feelings.

Sure enough, when Young Master Zhao had an accident, many impressions were thoroughly formed in the minds of these viewers!

When Zhang Lin said to use snake blood to resist this mental toxin, everyone just felt disgusted for the Second Archaeological Team, but didn't raise any objections.

Because their logic was also very clear now. The stench of snake blood was more effective than anything else. Even if someone was still influenced, taking snake blood immediately could have a decisive effect.

But at this time, someone still raised their hand and asked: "Mr. Zhang, this poisonous snake only carries a trace amount of mental toxin, and it wasn't even transmitted through venom, yet it could cause such an influence. Then how terrifying would the effect of the corpse-fragrant konjac be?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Lin just smiled slightly and said: "Actually, you are all considering the negative effects brought by the corpse-fragrant konjac. It itself is also a supreme treasure, and a very rare one at that."

"From this aspect, the fact that the Queen of Jingjue could find this thing at that time is definitely a miracle!"

Everyone was surprised upon hearing this, and also carried full of doubts.

Because the concept Zhang Lin gave them at the beginning didn't cover the saying that the corpse-fragrant konjac was a supreme treasure; they all thought it was a very terrifying existence.

But Zhang Lin's words at this time could be considered a disguised reminder. If it were just to guard this tomb, then what kind of price did the Queen of Jingjue need to pay to cultivate this corpse-fragrant konjac?

From the germination stage to growing into this huge form, it was not easy, and it would bring influence to everyone.

Under this premise, was the price paid too huge?

Then this Queen of Jingjue must have had other purposes. Before everyone could ask again, Zhang Lin said directly: "Actually, the main function of this corpse-fragrant konjac is to protect the corpse. As long as it is next to the corpse, it can resonate with the corpse."

"And the fragrance of its pollen can also completely replace the bad aura emitted by the corpse."

"That is to say, standing near this corpse-fragrant konjac, you don't have to worry about the corpse changing or showing any signs of decay; it will forever maintain that state!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Lin couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then continued: "It's true that the corpse-fragrant konjac only existed in legends, but now that we have reached the Ancient City of Jingjue, we can see its full appearance. If we were to rank the things left behind by the Queen of Jingjue, the corpse-fragrant konjac would definitely be in the top three!"

At this time, the people listening to the book reacted one after another, and someone immediately raised their hand and asked: "Mr. Zhang, according to your meaning, as long as we find the corpse-fragrant konjac, we can find the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue, right?"

Zhang Lin nodded without hesitation and said: "That's right, that's what I mean."

Actually, some things didn't need to be hidden anymore. The coffin of the Queen of Jingjue was right here underground. As long as they followed the route he planned and passed through those heavy mechanisms, they would eventually find the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue; this was certain!

And now, the reason Zhang Lin said these things was just to lay a foundation.

He understood that many people in the Second Archaeological Team now hated this corpse-fragrant konjac. Although they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they also knew it was one of the protective measures left by the Queen of Jingjue.

And it had caused them so much trouble along the way; the vines of the corpse-fragrant konjac were so fierce that they almost cost lives.

Based on what had happened before, if they saw the corpse-fragrant konjac, they would definitely choose to destroy it immediately.

If they did that, it was very likely that the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue and the things inside the coffin would be destroyed together.

Zhang Lin didn't hope that these people would bring the corpse-fragrant konjac out; that possibility was extremely low, just like the fat man from the First Archaeological Team wanting to bring a sea monkey out—that was just a thought, and it didn't come true in the end.

Even if they had the strength to bring it out, the corpse-fragrant konjac wouldn't be able to survive afterward.

This kind of plant not only needed special wood to nourish it, but there was also corpse aura nearby. Furthermore, even if it could be kept alive, it wouldn't have much significance for the living; instead, it would create endless trouble, which was definitely not worth the loss.

But obviously, this wasn't the focus of everyone's attention. When they heard that the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue was accompanied by the corpse-fragrant konjac, everyone showed an excited expression.

It seemed that in their view, having such a clear landmark would make it easier for the Second Archaeological Team to find the tomb of the Queen of Jingjue.

At this time, Zhang Lin saw through the live broadcast screen that the people of the Second Archaeological Team were ready to go and were studying the risen stone platform.

Zhang Lin nodded slowly, knowing it was time to reveal the answer to opening this gate, and then said slowly: "Actually, the way to open this gate is very simple, even simpler than the previous mechanisms. This gate is a very typical kind of mechanism from thousands of years ago, called the 'Sixteen Dragons Piercing the Earth'."

Another term that was unfamiliar to everyone, and at the same time, a completely brand-new cognition was gradually forming in everyone's minds!
