112: This isn't dead, it's just asleep!

As the leaves rustled, Ye Bai looked up at the red tree above his head.

Seeing the tree rustling without any wind, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, but then he relaxed.

Damn it! Rustling at a time like this, who are you trying to scare to death?

Fortunately, his role-playing as Zhang Qilin had reached seventy percent, and his psychological resilience was strong enough. Otherwise, he would be like Cai Xukun right now, legs trembling with fear.

No, I have to stay composed. Hold it together, I can't break character.

Internal waves of shock surged within Ye Bai, but his expression remained as calm as still water, without a hint of fluctuation.

However, Wu Jing, Yang Mi, and the others behind him weren't so lucky. Hearing the leaves rustle and seeing those corpses swaying slightly, they all swallowed nervously. They worried that if the swaying became too intense, what would happen if they fell?

From this height... wouldn't the corpses be smashed into meat paste?

Cai Xukun, Zhang Dada, Hua Chenyu, and Huang Zitao were walking at the back, but their legs felt like they were filled with lead. Not only was moving a struggle, but even standing was difficult. Their legs were like cotton, unable to support them, making them look like soft-shelled shrimp.

Ye Bai stood by the edge of the outer coffin. A thick smell of blood filled the air, and at the bottom of the coffin, blood seemed to be flowing, though the dim light made it hard to see clearly.

The palm of his hand resting on the outer coffin felt a faint warmth.

It wasn't a cold bronze outer coffin; instead, it felt as if the outer coffin had been maintaining a constant temperature for the corpse inside.

Boom!

Ye Bai moved the outer coffin slightly, and a thick scent of blood wafted out from within.

The cameramen were actually very afraid, but due to their profession and curiosity, they followed Ye Bai closer to the outer coffin. Then, they saw a man lying inside.

The man was dressed in magnificent robes, his eyes tightly shut, with a furrowed brow forming a ' river' shape. His lips were pressed together, and his complexion was ruddy. He didn't look like someone who had been dead for many years, but rather like someone who had been in a deep sleep for a long time.

However, his expression... seemed to carry a hint of pain.

He was surrounded by black blood, which enveloped his body.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

It wasn't just Yang Mi and Wu Jing who were stunned, but also the viewers in the Live Stream Room.

["Holy crap! How is this person not decomposed yet? What kind of coffin is this? It actually has the effect of keeping the body from rotting?"]

["Why do I feel like this is even more eerie? This person's death is truly peculiar!"]

["Is that just peculiar? That's extremely peculiar! I'm freaking scared. If it were a Dried Corpse or a skeleton, I could accept it, but I really can't handle this. It completely meets the conditions for a corpse transformation."]

["Stop talking, I'm scared. This is simply a nightmare!!"]

["Can I ask what this outer coffin is? I want one too, okay? This corpse is preserved so well. By the way, who is this person? Why do the clothes on him look so familiar?"]

["Don't just speak for yourself, I find them familiar too. I feel like I've seen them somewhere, but I can't remember for the life of me."]

Upon seeing this image, the viewers immediately felt that the clothes on this man were very familiar.

But they couldn't recall where they had seen them; they just felt a strong sense of similarity.

Meanwhile, at the Archaeology Academy, when they saw this man, they all gasped in unison.

How could this person's body be so well-preserved? It's as if he's just sleeping.

This isn't normal.

"What's going on? I've never seen such a complete corpse. This isn't death; isn't he just asleep?"

"No, no, no, this is definitely worth studying. This has exceeded the scope of our Archaeology Academy's research, but I want to try and understand why this outer coffin can preserve remains like this."

"The magnificent robes on this man, aren't they just like the ones on the walls? The style is the same. Is that a Dragon Pattern on him? Is that a Dragon Pattern? It's covered by blood, I can't see clearly."

The professors began to speculate upon seeing the person inside the outer coffin.

Professor Guo and Professor Qian exchanged a look. Neither spoke, but they already had a suspicion in their hearts. Judging by the clothes, this person might be the owner of the tomb.

King Yelang.

However, they weren't entirely certain, as there was nothing yet to confirm it was King Yelang.

But they had their suspicions.

Could it be that immortality was actually successful?

"Could it be because of immortality? Otherwise, how could his body look just like ours?"

Professor Guo whispered softly.

"It's possible."

Upon hearing this, Professor Qian also responded in a low voice.

But these were all just their speculations and could not be proven.

To prove it further, they still needed Ye Bai to act.

Inside the tomb.

Cai Xukun, Wu Jing, Reba, and the others were all dumbfounded after seeing the man in the outer coffin.

They had expected to see something as terrifying as that concubine, but they never imagined they would see this scene.

How is this dead? Isn't he just asleep?

"Ye Bai, is he dead or asleep?"

Yang Mi finally found her voice to ask after a long moment.

Wu Jing kept staring at his chest. Seeing the rising and falling of the chest, his mind went blank again.

"He's not dead, he's asleep. Look..."

Wu Jing pointed a trembling finger at the male corpse inside the outer coffin.

His voice was trembling along with his finger.

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked toward the male corpse's chest. Although the movement was slight, if they looked closely, they could indeed see his heart area rising and falling.

The blood on top also swayed slightly with the movement.

"How can this be... never mind how many years he's been dead, even if this outer coffin lid was just closed, it would be hard to survive for two days!"

Zhang Dada's eyes suddenly widened, looking at the outer coffin in disbelief, feeling that this guy was not normal.

"Two days? You'd suffocate in one. What's going on? How can he be asleep? Is this also a ghost?"

Cai Xukun instinctively took a few steps back, his voice trembling as he spoke.

He even felt his breathing become rapid.

"Could he really be asleep?"

"Then is it okay to wake him up?"

Hua Chenyu looked at the man. Although he was afraid, he was more curious.

"Look at you guys acting like cowards. You've seen so many big scenes, why are you still so timid?"

As Hua Chenyu spoke, to show off his bravery, he reached out and poked the man's face.

"Hey!"

"What are you doing?"

When Wu Jing saw Hua Chenyu actually poking the male corpse's face with his hand, his heart skipped a beat in fear.

Is this kid crazy or did he take the wrong medicine?

"What's the panic? Look, isn't everything fine?"

Hua Chenyu maintained a nonchalant attitude.
