Chapter 969

Then if it could speak, it would definitely beg for mercy incessantly; people truly want to live when they are about to die, this is what our ancestors left behind!

Even if this thing wasn't human, it was still a life with intelligence after all; being able to feel fear meant it should understand how to beg for mercy, but it didn't do so.

That meant it wasn't deliberately not speaking, but that after shedding the skin, it seemed a certain part had been lost.

Or perhaps it had been returned to Hu Bayi, who was lying in the coffin, in some way.

But regardless, everything right now could not be changed.

Seeing the blood seeping out, Yang Lusi hurried over and told Wang Kaixuan to lift the stone pedestal.

And under the stone pedestal, a wriggling little worm was pressed; it was squirming in the pool of blood, looking very disgusting, resembling a maggot!

But it was longer and thinner than a maggot, and its blood also emitted a thick, foul odor.

However, when Yang Lusi smelled it at the tip of her nose, no feeling of disgust arose; on the contrary, a look of pleasant surprise appeared in her eyes.

At this moment, she had also verified her guess; everything was correct!

This kind of thing was probably of the same origin as the snake blood, but its medicinal properties should be stronger, capable of solving the problem at hand.

Yang Lusi didn't hesitate to bend down and reach out with her bare hands to take this maggot!

But at this moment, her wrist was gripped by Wang Kaixuan. Wang Kaixuan looked at this Team Leader Yang very seriously and said firmly: "Team Leader Yang, let me do it."

Not worried about anything else, Wang Kaixuan was afraid that this worm itself might have some toxicity and bring certain dangers; since it was to save his brother, he had to do it himself.

But Yang Lusi didn't pay attention to Wang Kaixuan at this moment; she smiled slightly, gently pushed away Wang Kaixuan's wrist, and then picked up the maggot directly.

The moment the maggot touched Yang Lusi's palm, it stopped wriggling frantically.

It seemed as if it had been subdued by something, and Yang Lusi also narrowed her eyes!

She naturally couldn't understand why this situation was happening.

Relatively speaking, those bloodstains were the maggot's instinctive nutrition; after losing this nutrition, within normal logic, this maggot should have struggled even more frantically!

But Yang Lusi didn't expect this thing to calm down after touching her palm.

At this moment, Yang Lusi instinctively wanted to conduct an experiment; she suddenly grabbed Wang Kaixuan's hand and placed the maggot on the other party's hand.

And the moment it touched Wang Kaixuan's palm, this maggot actually jumped up directly; although it couldn't jump very high!

But from its rotating body and this movement, it was clear that right now, it wasn't just fear, and the moment it touched Wang Kaixuan's palm, it seemed to feel that his life was about to end.

Yang Lusi's eyes flashed with hesitant light as she looked at all this!

At this moment, she could only use some controlled variable methods to experiment whether her guess was accurate. Afterward, she beckoned and called Shen Qiong, who was not far away, over.

Without hesitation, she passed the worm to Shen Qiong's hand; the result was the same reaction as on Wang Kaixuan's hand.

At this moment, Yang Lusi could basically determine the situation; when she put it on Wang Kaixuan's hand earlier, since it calmed down, Yang Lusi could only think of another possibility: that this kind of maggot might only have such a reaction when touching males.

And through the change after touching Shen Qiong, since the reaction was the same, it proved that this thing was related to the curse on her!

Only she herself possessed uniqueness!

And Yang Lusi was very clear about her own uniqueness; this curse was related to the Ancient City of Jingjue.

It had a vital relationship with the Queen of Jingjue, which was why it became like this.

She led the team forward, and everyone was protected; relatively speaking, the potential things emitted by the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac didn't control everyone.

Under this premise, even if Hu Bayi's scouting was unfavorable, Yang Lusi wouldn't blame him, because there were some things she could have done herself.

This time also made Yang Lusi firm in a belief: no matter what kind of disagreements they had in the future, she had to do the scouting work herself.

Otherwise, it might lead to the total annihilation of everyone; if she sent others to step in and the result was the same as Hu Bayi's, Yang Lusi couldn't help but sigh sadly at the thought.

Everyone looked at her at the same time, knowing that once the team leader had such a strange reaction when nothing had happened, it meant she had already seen some potential dangers that would occur later.

At this moment, they were also waiting for Yang Lusi to explain. Seeing everyone's attention drift over, Yang Lusi showed a bitter smile and said: "Don't think too much, I just wanted to say that this matter actually has something to do with me; I shouldn't have let Hu Bayi go scouting."

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi quickly shook his head. Just as he wanted to replace himself or explain for the team leader, they saw that jade armor suddenly move.

Its head had already been smashed, and it should have had no signs of movement, but it just happened to move at this moment.

You know, when they were with the first archaeological team, after Celestial Master Zhang cut off the head of the jade armor, it stopped moving. Now they also understood.

It seemed that what they encountered was different from the first archaeological team. At this time, the bullet comments also exploded.

【"Holy crap! This thing moved again, how is that possible!"】

【"It seems that in the end, it has the form but not the spirit; this thing is much more eerie than what the first archaeological team encountered."】

【"If it had pressed the switch just now to release more of the same things, the consequences would be unimaginable!!!"】

【"Don't think like that, it's possible this is just the most special one."】

【"When I first saw the worm, I thought it was controlled by that kind of maggot, but now it might not be like that."】

【"In any case, all these answers will wait until the storytelling tomorrow; I think Mr. Zhang will naturally reveal them."】

【"Just hope the second archaeological team can wait until then."】

At any time, it seemed that there was no lack of crow's mouths in the bullet comments, but this wasn't to blame them for holding a pessimistic attitude; even the members of the second archaeological team were actually quite pessimistic themselves now.

Under the premise of pessimism, it also led to their subsequent path becoming more casual.

Including seeing the coffin or the seated golden body, opening whichever one didn't seem to have much significance to them.

It was just an unexpected discovery. Hu Bayi was lying in the coffin, and now only that seated corpse remained, but Yang Lusi's attention was still on the coffin in the last second.

Seeing that armor suddenly move, Wang Kaixuan bared his teeth and said immediately: "Team Leader Yang, whether this thing is alive or dead, why don't we just act decisively and not smash it again?"

Yang Lusi narrowed her eyes; she always had a bad premonition in her heart, as if this armor doing this was guiding them to completely shatter it.
