Chapter 70 Bottomless Ghost Cave

"That's right." Zhang Jin nodded.

Hu Bayi said: "Then why didn't you tell everyone earlier?"

"Because I have been thinking about how to deal with the illusion created by the corpse-scented konjac, but there has never been a good way." Zhang Jin explained.

"There is no good way, which means there is still a way?" Shirley Yang asked.

"As long as we can completely eliminate the corpse-scented konjac, we can stop the illusions it creates."

"This shouldn't be difficult. According to what you said, corpse-scented konjac is not aggressive. A non-aggressive plant is easy to deal with. We have solid fuel, so just burn it." Hu Bayi suggested.

"But the key to the problem is that the corpse-scented konjac grows on the coffin of Queen Jingjue. If you burn it, it will be burned together with the queen's coffin. I'm afraid Professor Chen and Professor Hao will not allow it." Zhang Jin said.

"When it comes to life-threatening matters, of course safety comes first," Hu Bayi said.

Shirley Yang shook his head and said: "No, Professor Chen took a lot of risks for this archeology, even risking his life. He will never let us destroy the coffin of Queen Jingjue."

Hu Bayi suddenly asked: "I'm curious about one thing, how can this corpse-scented konjac survive for thousands of years in this underground tomb? With no sunlight and no soil, will it have died?"

"Because it grows on Queen Jingjue's coffin, and Queen Jingjue's coffin is made of a complete piece of Kunlun sacred wood, so the corpse-scented konjac can survive for thousands of years without dying," Zhang Jin explained.

Even if the Kunlun sacred tree leaves the soil, the water and sunlight will not dry up, and a corpse placed in it will remain immortal for thousands of years.

Hu Bayi suddenly nodded: "No wonder this corpse-scented konjac can live for so long. It turns out to be the contribution of the Kunlun sacred tree."

"It is said that the first emperor of Qin wanted to use the Kunlun sacred tree as a coffin." Shirley Yang said.

"If you can't burn the corpse-scented konjac, you can only use an engineer shovel to eradicate it manually. You can't let such a dangerous thing continue to affect everyone, it's too dangerous!" Hu Bayi said decisively.

"That's what I mean too." Zhang Jin said while looking at Shirley Yang.

Shirley Yang nodded: "I agree."

After the three people had reached a consensus, they returned to the underground river and told everyone about the situation behind the Thousand Jin Gate.

Professors Chen Jiuren and Hao Aiguo heard that behind the funerary objects was probably the tomb of Queen Jingjue, and they couldn't wait to invite the three students to go there together.

Wang Kaixuan's eyes were also shining, and he was about to go see the piles of gold and silver treasures everywhere, but was stopped by Hu Bayi.

"Lao Hu, why are you pulling me?"

"Fat man, I have to tell you something clearly." Hu Bayi leaned into his ear and told him about the corpse-scented konjac.

"Is there such a thing? I understand, I will do whatever you tell me to do. Isn't it just cutting down a taro plant? I used to do farm work when I was an educated youth. I'm good at it!" Wang Kaixuan patted his chest and said,

The way it wraps around my body.

"Also, don't touch the treasure inside. Miss Yang gave you a tactful warning on the way back." Hu Bayi reminded, "She probably suspected that we were fighting against each other."

"No way, could it be that Master Zhang told that American girl?" Wang Kaixuan asked doubtfully.

"Even if Zhang Jin didn't say it, you didn't know how many times you leaked it along the way, just like Professor Chen and other simple intellectuals didn't notice it!" Hu Bayi said angrily.

Wang Kaixuan knew that he was in the wrong and agreed depressingly: "I promise not to touch those gold and silver treasures."

The archaeological team came to the treasure house and looked at the funerary objects everywhere. They were shocked by the golden coins and various jewelery items!

After taking photos of these funerary objects and making simple records, the archaeological team continued forward, passing through the dark tomb passage. After climbing a flight of steps, a broken wall and a huge mountain cavity appeared in front of them!

From the bottomless abyss under your feet, there is a whistling sound of wind, like the cry of an evil ghost, and the cold and terrifying breath is approaching, making people feel creepy!

Shirley Yang threw a cold fireworks stick down, and the red light fell deeper and deeper until it disappeared.

Zhang Jin stood at the edge of the broken wall platform and cautiously looked towards the ghost cave below. Even though he was brave and not afraid of heights, he still felt dizzy when looking at this ghost cave that seemed to be able to absorb people's souls.

My legs felt weak and I had to move back quickly, fearing that I would fall down accidentally.

"Be careful, don't get too close." Hu Bayi quickly reminded everyone.

Wang Kaixuan, who is afraid of heights, hid behind with his gun in his arms, not daring to step forward. The look of curiosity and fear on his face changed back and forth.

Ye Yixin saw Zhang Jin take out a black box from his backpack and asked curiously: "Brother Zhang, what are you doing with this black box?"

After she asked this question, everyone's attention was immediately attracted.

"What's in it?" Shirley Yang asked.

Seeing that everyone was paying attention to him, Zhang Jin couldn't help but throw the black box into the ghost cave rashly. He could only explain: "It contains my teacher's skull. His wish is to see the ghost cave with his own eyes."

After speaking, he opened the black box, revealing the white skull inside.

Hu Bayi saw something strange at a glance: "Why is there a hole in your teacher's skull? Was he killed?"

Lao Hu, you are the only one who is so troublesome! Zhang Jin complained in his heart and explained: "No, the teacher had a craniotomy before his death, but it failed. This is the trace left by the operation."

No one had heard of this surgery, so they didn’t ask much about it.

Zhang Jin was afraid that things would change if he delayed, so he immediately threw the black box and the skull inside into the ghost cave, saying, "I have fulfilled the teacher's last wish."

Hao Aiguo looked around: "Strange, why didn't I see Queen Jingjue's coffin? Isn't it here?"

"It should be above. If the ghost cave is a place connected to the imaginary number space, then Queen Jingjue is above the ghost cave." Zhang Jin said.

"Comrade Xiao Zhang is right." Chen Jiuren agreed.

Wang Kaixuan, who was sitting on the ground, pointed to the side and said, "Look, there is a way up here."

The archaeological team walked down the platform and carefully walked up the road dug out of the mountain wall.

Zhang Jin was walking at the front of the team, staring at the ghost cave below. After throwing the black box down, he received a system prompt that the secondary challenge had been completed.

The secondary challenge is completed, and a random client task is also completed. As long as he can successfully leave the ancient city of Jingjue, he has passed the level. As for the first-level challenge, taking a photo of Queen Jingjue depends on the situation. If the Corpse Fragrance Konjac

If he can be eliminated successfully, he still has a chance.

The group of people walked higher and higher, and finally clearly saw the Kunlun sacred tree on the stone beam and the extremely eerie and beautiful corpse-scented konjac.

Chen Jiuren recognized the corpse-scented konjac at a glance and lamented that he never expected that such a thing existed in the world!

Zhang Jin, Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang looked at each other.

Shirley Yang first spoke: "Professor Chen, since you know about the corpse-scented konjac, you should know how dangerous it is. If we want to continue to examine the coffin and body of Queen Jingjue, we must get rid of the corpse-scented konjac!"

"Yes, Professor Chen, even if it is not for the purpose of inspecting Queen Jingjue's coffin, for everyone's personal safety, it is necessary to remove the corpse-scented konjac, unless we turn around and go back now." Hu Bayi followed closely.

Zhang Jin cooperated: "Professor Chen, Professor Hao, I have calculated accurately along the way, and you also have an idea. I can only say that if this corpse-scented konjac is not removed, everyone's life may be in danger."

"this……"
