After a short rest, the archaeological team happened to have another evil wind blowing in their faces.
Although the wind was blowing normally this time, the torches in their hands were whirring in the direction of the wind.
But because Chen Yibai had just said that King Kang might have resurrected, everyone was still in a state of tension.
I don’t even know if it’s because of psychological reasons, I always feel that in the darkness around me, there are a pair of eyes staring at this place gloomily.
Not only the people in the archaeological team, but even Chen Yibai had this feeling of being secretly spied on, and the feeling was very strong, just like the legendary woman’s sixth sense, and the whole body seemed a little uncomfortable.
Chen Yibai looked around carefully with his night eyes, and everything was calm as usual.
"Captain Chen, why don’t we ignore King Kang for now? Since it’s safe for the time being, why don’t we quickly find a ventilation passage…"
Wang Haichuan seemed to be afraid of being suddenly attacked, and kept turning his head around, while looking at Chen Yibai and suggesting.
Now Wang Haichuan just wanted to leave this hellhole as soon as possible.
It would be best if he could run as fast as possible.
But after thinking for a while, Chen Yibai seemed to have made some kind of decision. He looked at Wang Haichuan and raised his eyebrows and shook his head and asked, "Professor Wang, isn't the purpose of your archaeological experts coming here to do archaeological research? We only guessed that this tomb is the tomb of King Kang, but we haven't found the owner of the tomb, so even if we have 100% confidence, guesses are always just guesses..."
Wang Haichuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly didn't understand what Chen Yibai meant.
Chen Yibai deliberately paused for a moment, and continued to look at Wang Haichuan seriously and said, "Professor Wang, don't you want to find the owner of this ancient tomb, confirm his identity, and make this archaeological research come to a perfect end? Otherwise, even if we find the exit now and go back safely, you can only write "guess" or "suspected" in this archaeological academic research..."
"Ah? This..."
Wang Haichuan was stunned, and was tongue-tied for a while, not knowing how to respond.
What Chen Yibai said was indeed true. Only by finding the tomb owner, or finding evidence to prove the identity of the tomb owner, can the archaeological research on an ancient tomb be completed in the true sense.
Otherwise, the mystery remains a mystery!
But the key is that Wang Haichuan came here and learned about the history of this ancient tomb and the sacrificial culture of the Shang Dynasty, which was enough.
More importantly, this ancient tomb is too dangerous. After escaping from Zhulong and having the opportunity to find an exit, he no longer has the courage to continue researching.
If he continues to research, life and death will be another matter.
So Wang Haichuan looked at Chen Yibai at this time, with a trace of imperceptible resentment in his eyes, and he was still complaining in his heart: "If we can find the exit and go back safely now, can't we get off work? Why did you suddenly bring this up? This is equivalent to putting me on the spot, making it really difficult for me to do my job!
I am the chief commander of archaeology. If I directly say that I will not study anymore, wouldn't it be equivalent to being afraid of death?
Young man, you make me lose face in front of my colleagues and students!"
At this time, Yan Wanlei, who was next to him, seemed to see Wang Haichuan's embarrassment, and he was very emotionally intelligent. He interrupted and asked Chen Yibai solemnly, "Captain Chen, if we continue to study and find that the owner of this ancient tomb is indeed King Kang, and he has resurrected again... can you handle it?
If we are not sure, or not sure, I think we should go back first. Although archaeological research is important, there is no need to risk our lives..."
"Yeah, yeah! Captain Yan's words make sense, very reasonable..."
Wang Haichuan, who was still looking for a way out in embarrassment, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and followed Yan Wanlei to echo.
However, before Wang Haichuan finished speaking, Chen Yibai interrupted him with a serious expression and said, "Professor Wang, I am sure! At least 90%... 50%! But after all, I am just a special consultant you invited. It mainly depends on whether you are willing to continue the research and whether you need my help..."
Uh...
Wang Haichuan felt that he had just found a way out, and he was put up again by Chen Yibai.
Young man, that's enough. You really want to embarrass me, don't you?
I promised that I would be the top of the list for the month, and I will definitely not be one day behind you. There is really no need to be so stubborn!
You don't think that you are really a dragon slayer after killing Zhulong, do you?
"Captain Chen, are you really sure that even if it is really King Kang's resurrection, you are at least 90%... 95% sure! Don't be so stubborn, after all, I am an old man, and I amYou are half buried in the earth. Although you have become indifferent to life and death, you are still very young..."
Wang Haichuan did not nod or shake his head, but looked at Chen Yibai to confirm again and again, deliberately emphasizing the latter tone.
Chen Yibai narrowed his eyes and shrugged, with mysterious confidence in his eyes: "Now it is not 95%, but 100%! "
During this short period of time, Chen Yibai felt strongly that the muscles and tendons of his whole body became tighter and stronger under the hot forging like quenching fire!
This is why Chen Yibai deliberately held Wang Haichuan and continued to look for the owner of this tomb.
If Wang Haichuan was not held in this way, he would definitely not agree to continue the research.
For Chen Yibai, not meeting the real owner of this ancient tomb.
Or not meeting the legendary King Kang.
It will definitely be a great regret in life!
Of course, this premise is that there is enough strength.
Chen Yibai feels that now he has a complete set of corpse nails, wrapped in the Fire Snake King Armor, holding the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand, and has obtained the power of the Candle Dragon bloodline inheritance. Although he has not tried the effect, he feels that he is now terribly strong.
He can definitely fight King Kang A moment!
However, this mainly depends on whether Wang Haichuan, the commander-in-chief of the archaeological team, will be scared.
If Wang Haichuan is held like this and still chooses to be scared and terminate the research, then Yan Wanlei will definitely obey the command. As a special consultant, it is not appropriate for him to force the research alone.
At this moment, everyone is staring, waiting for Wang Haichuan to make a decision.
Just now, Captain Chen has patted his chest and said that even if he encounters the resurrected King Kang, he can handle it 100%! As a special consultant, he is definitely that!
So it depends on whether Wang Haichuan has the spirit of devoting himself to archaeology, or is scared for his life.
Then he must be dedicated to archaeology!
Under the eyes of everyone, Wang Haichuan gritted his teeth: "Since Captain Chen is 100% sure, then the archaeological research will continue! ”
This was not an impulsive decision made by Wang Haichuan, but a well-thought-out one.
Since Chen Yibai had said it so confidently and directly, if he chose to retreat, not only would he lose face as the archaeological commander-in-chief, but the results of this archaeological research would also be discounted by more than half because the identity of the tomb owner had not been confirmed.
In other words, it was not worthwhile to risk all the way here and not even confirm the identity of the tomb owner.
In addition, since they had chosen to trust Captain Chen so many times, they certainly didn't care about this last time!
"Professor Wang is the commander-in-chief, so of course I have to obey his arrangements throughout the process!"
Seeing that Wang Haichuan had made the final decision, Yan Wanlei did not hesitate at all.
Archaeological experts all have such a spirit of dedication and hard work, let alone himself as a soldier!
"Well! Professor Wang's spirit is that of a true expert!"
Chen Yibai grinned with a triumphant smile and gave Wang Haichuan a thumbs up.
"Then everyone, follow me closely! Relax your mind, be bolder, don't be too nervous, if there is any danger, I will tell you in advance! "
After confirming it, Chen Yibai looked around again, and finally locked his eyes on the ruins of the collapsed dragon-locking pillar.
Chen Yibai's words were very confident, this is the advantage of having night vision.
Especially in such an extremely empty space, without the cover of darkness, you can see all directions, and there is no need to worry about any dangers and sneak attacks hiding in the dark.
Everyone listened to Chen Yibai's words, although there was an inexplicable sense of security, but for ordinary people, it is not easy to completely let go in this darkness.
Speaking of which, since Captain Chen killed the Candle Dragon, it seems that he has become a different person, with an indescribable energy on his body...
Soon, Chen Yibai took the test Team Gu came to the place where the dragon-locking pillar collapsed.
At this time, this place has completely turned into a pile of rubble and ruins, covering a large area.
From some slightly larger pieces of rubble, you can still see many exquisite carvings and complex Zhuyou secret characters.
"It's really a pity. If such a spectacular dragon-locking pillar doesn't fall, it will definitely become a popular check-in spot after it is developed in the future..."
Wang Haichuan looked at the ruins in front of him and the pieces of rubble carved with exquisite patterns, and couldn't help but sighed in his heart.
But if this dragon-locking pillar doesn't fall, it won't be a popular check-in point, but a popular life check-in point...
"Team Yan, look..."
Xiaohu next to him seemed to have found something in the ruins, and shouted immediately.
Chen Yibai glanced from a distance, and what Xiaohu was pointing at was a body smashed to pieces by rubble.
But he could still see the face clearly, it was Brother Ji!
"Damn, he probably didn't expect that we were still alive, haha..."
Xiaohu looked at Brother Ji's body and couldn't help laughing.
"Take a photo, go back to identify him, and see if he has other accomplices up there!"
Yan Wanlei ordered with a serious expression.
And Yan Wanlei had a hunch in his heart. Based on his years of experience dealing with bandits, there must be an organization behind this Brother Ji, and it was a very complicated organization.
The special service team was studying and taking pictures of Brother Ji's body.
After entering the ruins of rubble, Chen Yibai had been frowning, his eyes like an eagle, and he kept searching repeatedly.
Chen Yibai was looking for the huge coffin that was erected on the dragon-locking pillar before.
Although Chen Yibai saw the coffin in the last second before he fainted.
And it was just a vague shadow.
But Chen Yibai was 100% sure that he was not mistaken.
And King Kang's coffin and the candle dragon were on the dragon-locking pillar, which was also in line with the forbidden ritual of soul-binding and soul-returning.
Logically, after the dragon-locking pillar collapsed, the coffin must have fallen down with it.
It couldn't have flown away, right?
But after searching around the ruins, he didn't find it.
Even Chen Yibai calculated the parabola in his mind, and then roughly locked a range, but still didn't see the shadow of the coffin.
"Or... was it smashed under the rubble?"
Chen Yibai looked at the ruins that were several meters high. If this was really the case, it would be really difficult to deal with.
"Captain Chen, it's probably not easy to find the coffin you mentioned in such a large area?"
Yan Wanlei shouted at Chen Yibai standing on the ruins, and wondered in his heart, Chen Yibai didn't have a torch in his hand, what was he looking around in the dark?
Yan Wanlei was muttering in his heart.
Suddenly, Chen Yibai's eyes lit up while searching the darkness, as if he was surprised to find something.
"Found it!"
Following that, Chen Yibai trotted towards the place where his eyes were.
Yan Wanlei hurried to catch up.
Everyone followed Chen Yibai at the first time, holding up the torches in their hands, and walked to the position of the base of the dragon-locking column.
The square base of the dragon-locking column is still there, because the dragon-locking column tilted and collapsed to the northwest, so the stone statues of Bixi in the southeast are still intact.
Right between the two stone statues of Bixi, next to the pile of rubble, everyone saw a huge coffin.
This coffin was pitch black, nearly six meters long and more than four meters wide. It looked like it was made of stone. The front was carved with a lifelike image of a candle dragon, surrounded by rolling cloud patterns as decoration, and two lines of complex Zhuyou secret characters were written on the bottom, which looked very impressive.
But what surprised everyone was that such a large coffin fell from the dragon-locking pillar dozens of meters high, and the surface was intact.
What was even more incredible was that the lid of the coffin was still open, and the inside was like a thousand-layer cake, with several layers.
The so-called "coffin" is not a coffin, but a coffin cover.
Just like nesting dolls, the more coffins are set, the higher the social status of the tomb owner during his lifetime.
"The material of this coffin is obsidian!"
Chen Yibai saw the material of the coffin in front of him at a glance.
Obsidian is also called "dragon crystal" and has properties similar to glass. In fact, there is no historical heritage in China.
As for the use of obsidian as a coffin, Chen Yibai is not sure what the story is.
What Chen Yibai is concerned about now is the inside of the coffin.
So Chen Yibai clenched the red sword in his hand again, concentrated his attention, and approached carefully.
The whole coffin has nine layers. Nine is the largest in the odd number, and it also represents the emperor, which is the highest level in the coffin.
The gaps around each layer of the coffin are filled with various exquisite gold, stone and jade articles, which dazzled people and made them swallow their saliva. This was the favorite thing of the tomb owner during his lifetime, so he would be buried in the coffin.
But what surprised Chen Yibai was that the innermost layer of the coffin, that is, the main coffin in the middle, was "empty". Except for some exquisite gold, stone and jade articles, there was no body!
