Live tomb raiding: Zhang Qilin starts the game and shocks Yang Mi

Chapter 39: Bloody Result, Everyone Grieves

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw red fruits appearing on the big green tree.

And it's becoming clearer and clearer.

"This big tree has grown fruit?" The fat man stared at the big tree in front of him in shock.

"How could it be? There is no sunlight or water in here, so it's weird how this tree grows and even bears fruit? It's even weirder!"

Chen Yulou couldn't help but swear.

"Can the fruit be eaten? I really want to try it!"

The fat man looked at the fruit in a daze and walked inside.

"Fatty, what are you doing? Are you crazy?" Wu Tianzhen pulled him and stopped him from moving forward.

"I want to eat some fruit. It looks really appetizing. Tianzhen, can I make one for you?" The fat man broke free from Wu Tianzhen's hand and continued to walk inside.

Zhang Qilin glanced at the fat man, then suddenly stretched out his hand and hit him on the neck.

boom!
The fat man's eyes went dark and he fell to the ground sideways.

"Young man?" Wu Tianzhen asked suspiciously.

Zhang Qilin said nothing, then took out a bottle of water from Wu Tianzhen's bag and poured some water on the fruit core.

After coming into contact with water, the fruit core was visibly growing larger, and the leaves of the vines were growing even more luxuriantly.

When everyone saw this, they were all shocked.

"Could it be..." Partridge Whistle cut his palm and the blood dripped onto the fruit core.

After the fruit core came into contact with the blood, it absorbed it quickly, and the vines grew more luxuriantly and rapidly than before they met the water, and the vines became more vigorous.

And some of the vines even bloomed and formed fruits directly on their branches!

"No, try to breathe less and stop staring at the fruit, hurry up!"

Partridge Whistle's expression changed, and he hurriedly stopped Chen Yulou and Wu Tianzhen from retreating.

Yang Mi also took a few steps back and stood behind Zhang Qilin.

"Taoist, what is this? Why does this fruit grow so fast?" Chen Yulou asked hurriedly. This is not normal!

Partridge Whistle spoke with a serious expression.

"I once saw this in an ancient book in a tomb. This is a fruit that can confuse people. Anyone who smells the fragrance of the fruit too much will lose their mind, just like the fat man."

"When you eat this fruit, your flesh and blood will be absorbed crazily. When it comes into contact with water, it will swell. But when it comes into contact with blood, it will undergo drastic changes. This is exactly what you see."

"This corpse became like this because it ate this thing when it was alive."

Partridge Whistle looked at Zhang Qilin fiercely, "Brother, this tree can grow so tall because..."

Zhang Qilin nodded slowly.

Partridge Whistle took a breath of cold air and continued, "After this thing absorbs blood, it will use humans as vessels and continue to grow."

"When they are mature, these vines will return to the trunk and provide nutrients to the tree. Now that the tree is so strong, I am afraid that the nutrients..."

Zhang Qilin nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the coffin wrapped in vines.

After hearing what Partridge Whistle said, Yang Mi and Wu Tianzhen's eyes widened, their faces turned pale, and they quickly raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses, trying to reduce their breathing as much as possible.

"What on earth is this place? Why is it so scary? Even a big tree is so frightened."

Yang Mi looked at the tree in fear, and then said in a somewhat blaming tone, "I told you that this place is dangerous, but you didn't believe me and insisted on coming here."

Wu Tianzhen and Chen Yulou did not respond.

Partridge Whistle took a deep breath, "Now that we're here, let's think about how to leave here." Then he looked at Zhang Qilin, "Brother, do you have any way to leave?" As Partridge Whistle asked, the others' eyes fell on Zhang Qilin.

Zhang Qilin continued to stare at the coffin wrapped in vines with a slightly silent look.

And at the same time.

When Professor Li heard that the corpse belonged to the archaeological team, a look of sadness appeared on his face.

The archaeologist may be his mentor, or his senior or friend.

Now they have become vessels.

The body is occupied by these strange things.

Professor Li was breathing heavily, and his hands gripping the armrests of the chair kept tightening, even trembling.

Wen Xin noticed something was wrong with Professor Li and quickly held his hand.

"Teacher, although these archaeological ancestors sacrificed their lives, their deaths were very valuable. They will surely be remembered for thousands of years in the future..."

Captain Zhao also understood Professor Li’s feelings.

After all, they are his colleagues or friends.

"Professor Li, these professors are all highly respected. It is their great spirit that has brought the history of our Great Xia to the world. They are all heroes!!"

Professor Li knew that what they said was right, but it was also true that he felt uncomfortable.

After a long while, Professor Li took a deep breath and tried to suppress his emotions. "This tomb is full of dangers. The archaeologists must have suffered a lot."

"I don't want Zhang Qilin and the others to end up like this."

Captain Zhao and Wen Xin nodded hurriedly.

They tried to comfort Professor Li verbally, but they were equally sad in their hearts.

Those people were the pillars of the School of Archaeology. Not only did they die here, but their bodies were also turned into vessels and nutrients...

Their hearts are not much better than Professor Li's.

Not to mention them, even the netizens in the live broadcast room felt extremely sad after seeing it.

[Ah! This archaeological team member died, and his body became a vessel... This... Will his death be painful? ]

[Is this the danger of being an archaeologist? And they died so miserably. Why do I want to cry so much?]

[I want to cry, but there is nothing I can do about it. Archaeology is a very dangerous job. There are many dangers in ancient tombs. Just like what we have seen, it is commonplace...]

[I salute them. These archaeologists are so great.]

[If it doesn't work, find another exit. Don't stay here. Something bad is going to happen!!]

[Fortunately, Zhang Qilin is very skilled and knowledgeable. If it were Yang Mi, it would be really dangerous.]

While netizens were sighing for the archaeological team, their inner fears were also growing. This time they truly saw the danger of the ancient tomb.

I also understand why this place is designated as a forbidden area.

The students who disdained history now felt like assholes. The history that the archaeologists exchanged their lives for was ruined by them.

After realizing their mistakes, they also realized how dangerous the situation of Zhang Qilin and his group was.

This fruit has the effect of bewitching people. If Zhang Qilin and the others are controlled and really eat those fruits, wouldn’t they be the same as those people in the archaeological team?
Just when netizens were worried, Zhang Qilin came to the side of Queqiao Shao.

He took the flying claw from his hand.

"Brother, you..."
