"Old Wang, what happened to you?"

"It's okay, it's just one hand, you won't die."

The three tomb raiders finally reunited, but the timing was changed due to Zhang Yue's arrival.

After they dealt with the giant, cursed zombie that had mutated upon contact, Hu Bayi and Yang Xueli finally caught up with them.

Wang Kaixuan was saved in time by Zhang Yue, who removed the curse from his body, preventing him from mutating into a giant zombie. However, Zhang Yue was helpless against the poison.

Although glutinous rice was used to help him remove the poison, the poison was completely different from that of the zombies, and only a portion of it was removed.

So after receiving basic treatment, Wang Kaixuan set off on his journey.

Hu Bayi glanced at him and said, "But with your hand like this... if it stays like this for too long and treatment is delayed, I'm afraid it will have to be amputated."

Wang Kaixuan's eyes flickered. "I know, but you should know what I want to do."

For Wang Kaixuan, Ding Sitian was a lifelong source of pain. If he gave up this opportunity, he estimated he would never sleep soundly again.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi didn't say anything. However, Yang Xueli, who was standing to the side, thought that he was also thinking about Ding Sitian, and secretly got jealous, so she pinched his waist.

"The ancestral teachings of our founder: Tomb raiders, unite and live, divide and die."

Knowing that further persuasion was useless, Hu Bayi could only sigh and say, "As long as the three of us stay together, this mission will be absolutely safe. Let's go."

Big Gold Tooth chimed in, "Hey, that's right. With the three of you together, the mission is guaranteed to be a 100% success. Not to mention we have Master Zhang with us, right, Master Zhang?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Yue, who was busy working to the side. Zhang Yue smiled, nodded, and said nothing. He was refining a corpse...

The corpse of the charcoal carcass.

Mark, who had been cursed and mutated into a giant zombie by the virus, was already dead. Now, he was no different from a zombie.

Zhang Yue bit her index finger, drew a talisman, and stuck it on its head...

Then they stuffed an echoing insect talisman into Mark's mouth...

Yoko and her group, standing beside their adoptive mother, asked with puzzled expressions, "Master, what is he doing?"

Ying Caihong, being a cult leader, naturally had knowledge of this kind of thing, not to mention she was originally Chinese. "If I'm not mistaken, he should be using Maoshan's corpse control technique, which is a Taoist art of the Maoshan sect to control zombies..."

"Alright, let's go—"

Zhang Yue smiled slightly, his two fingers joined together, and Mark followed behind him with his head down, like a puppet...

Ying Caihong smiled slightly, "Let's go."

Hu Bayi's eyes flickered a few times, and he gave Wang Kaixuan, Yang Xueli, and Big Gold Tooth a few winks. "Let's go."

Clearly, even though Zhang Yue saved Wang Kaixuan, Hu Bayi still harbored some wariness towards Zhang Yue.

Thus, the tomb raiding gang began to split into three teams...

One group consisted of Ying Caihong and her fellow followers of the Spirit Cultivation Society; another group was Hu Bayi and his band of tomb raiders; and the last one was Zhang Yue himself…

……

Before long, the group arrived at a bridge.

There are steep caves on both sides, with only a solitary bridge spanning the middle.

Looking around at the surrounding environment, Zhang Yue couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature. If it were to be excavated by humans, the tomb of the Khitan princess would be even more labor-intensive and costly than the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

Clearly, she modified a naturally formed cave to create her own tomb.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Yue called out to two workers from Global Mining.

The two of them were walking towards the bridge as Ying Caihong had ordered, but they stopped in their tracks after hearing Zhang Yue's words.

Ying Caihong raised her hand, signaling a pause, then turned to Zhang Yue, "Master Zhang... what are your thoughts?"

Zhang Yue stopped, squatted on the bridge, scratched the wooden planks on the bridge with a stone, and smelled them.

"Don't you find it strange that wood and iron chains could withstand a thousand years without rotting?"

Zhang Yue pointed around, "Judging from how easily we're breathing, there's oxygen here. A wooden bridge that hasn't rotted for a thousand years under oxygen... hehe..."

Hu Bayi came closer, took the stone from Zhang Yue's hand and smelled it. "Scale stone, this is a bridge made of scale stone. It has an extremely low ignition point. The tomb owner built this bridge with scale stone so that intruders would set themselves on fire."

Zhang Yue used his Life and Death Eyes to examine the bridge. It wasn't just scale stones; if it were just a trap with a very low ignition point, there were ways to get through. But the bridge surface seemed to have been enchanted by some kind of magic.

This is why people walking on it will spontaneously combust without fire.

"This bridge is the only way to the main tomb." Ying Caihong smiled slightly. "Tomb Raiders, thank you for your trouble..."

Although it was said to be troublesome, there was a hint of unyielding authority in the tone.

Hu Bayi nodded, and he and Yang Xueli exchanged a glance. Then, the two of them began to discuss on the bridge. Before long, they deduced a way out based on the Five Stars and Eight Trigrams.

"Everyone, follow me. And remember, never step on a plank that I haven't stepped on before..."

Thanks to Zhang Yue's reminder and intervention, they passed the bridge hurdle without any serious incidents or fatalities.

They then arrived at what appeared to be an even more magnificent underground cavern…

The surrounding area is densely packed with towering, solitary peaks, which are connected by bridges.

"Master, look!" Yoko excitedly pointed to a solitary peak, on which stood a stone sculpture with a piece of jade on its chest.

Another red spider lily—

Ying Caihong nodded excitedly, gesturing for Yangzi to reach out and grab it, but Zhang Yue couldn't bear to watch any longer.

Snapped!

"What are you doing?" Yangzi glared at Zhang Yue, who slapped her hand away.

"What?" Zhang Yue sneered, pointing at Mark bouncing around behind her. "See that? What did you say about me? Why are you all so forgetful?"

"This jade stone with the color of the red spider lily is clearly the key to the mechanism. If you take it, you will inevitably trigger the mechanism."

"What we just triggered at the tomb entrance was a virus that turns people into giant zombies. Now that we've taken this one down, we don't know what kind of mechanism it will trigger."

"If I said you were stupid, how could you run such a big company? If I said you were smart, you've already been burned once, and you want to do it again?"

Uh……

Yangzi was speechless after being rebuked by Zhang Yue.

Indeed, the world is a makeshift place, and sometimes even people from a large company aren't necessarily that smart.

"Master Zhang is right, it's best not to touch that jade." Yang Xueli walked over. She was an expert in mechanisms among the tomb raiders, so she agreed with Zhang Yue's words.

"Let's go. As long as we don't touch it, I believe we shouldn't trigger any mechanisms here..."
