169: Blood-red threads, wrapped around Ye Bai

[What should we do now? Does Little Brother Ye Bai know something?]

[Didn't they just say it? It's Sorcery!! Does that mean there's someone inside who knows Sorcery? But that shouldn't be right? If there's a person, then what is that red liquid?]

[Damn it! We still haven't seen what else is inside this outer coffin, what a pity.]

[Who cares about that? We just need to wait and see how Little Brother Ye Bai handles it. Nothing else matters!]

[Ahhh!! The more it shakes, the more scared I get. It feels like it's building up to something huge.]

The audience members looked at the shaking outer coffin and the red, unknown viscous liquid. Aside from nervousness, most of them felt curiosity; they wanted to know what was inside the outer coffin.

Archaeology Academy.

When the professors saw the outer coffin, their expressions grew solemn.

They had some thoughts regarding Southern Yunnan.

“I still have some impression of King Xian. I remember that Sorcery is what they excel at most in Southern Yunnan, right?”

“They always like to mess with things that shouldn't see the light of day. Is this related to them?”

One of the professors seemed to have realized something and quickly looked at Professor Guo and Professor Qian.

“I remember that too. Many local people there seem to like Sorcery and Gu Technique.”

“It seems that even now, many common people in that area enjoy researching those things. They are comparable to the Miao Territory.”

Another professor seemed to recall something and quickly spoke.

“That makes sense then. This time, Old Wang and the others will have a tough time dealing with this. This place is filled with Sorcery and Gu Technique, and even the Chong Sorcery that Ye Bai mentioned before. That will keep them busy enough.”

Professor Guo felt a headache coming on just thinking about it.

But when he remembered that Professor Wang and the children were already afflicted by a curse, these things seemed less intimidating.

They are already cursed; how much worse could it get?

Inside the Tomb.

Ye Bai's expression hardened.

A large amount of unknown viscous liquid suddenly emerged from the outer coffin, and huge quantities of red silk threads erupted.

These silk threads were thicker than before.

However, these threads did not scatter as they had previously, but instead advanced neatly toward Ye Bai.

Everyone was shocked by the situation and stared at Ye Bai.

“Ye Bai!”

Yang Mi and Reba reacted first. Seeing the threads heading straight for Ye Bai, panic appeared in their eyes.

The feeling of losing Ye Bai when dealing with the Flood Dragon rushed back to them.

They subconsciously cried out.

Bai Lu, Yang Chaoyue, and Meng Ziyi’s pupils dilated as they watched helplessly as the threads wrapped around him.

Captain Zhao, Professor Wang, and the other security personnel were all frightened by the sight.

It all happened too suddenly... By the time they realized what was happening, Ye Bai had already been enveloped by the silk threads.

Just like a Silkworm Cocoon, he was wrapped up tightly.

“Ye Bai!”

Captain Zhao quickly took out his weapon and began hacking at the red silk threads.

Seeing this, the other team members rushed forward to help.

Not just them, but the Security Team, and even Wu Jing, went up to help.

When the threads were cut open, they revealed crimson blood, which splattered onto them, yet they seemed not to notice.

“Ye Bai!”

“Are you alright?”

Wu Jing shouted nervously toward the bundle.

But there was no response from within.

The silk threads suddenly began moving toward the outer coffin.

Upon seeing this, Wu Jing grabbed the thin threads and entered a tug-of-war with them.

No! He couldn't let Ye Bai be dragged toward the outer coffin.

“Stop it! Don't let him get close to the outer coffin!”

Wu Jing urgently looked at Captain Zhao, pulling desperately on the threads.

Captain Zhao and the other team members didn't have time to think; they simply followed Wu Jing's lead.

Some members even stood in front of the threads, desperately blocking the bundle containing Ye Bai.

Meanwhile, others were using their Daggers to sever the threads pulling him.

The effect was minimal.

Yang Mi and Bai Lu also stepped forward to help, but their efforts had little impact.

When the audience in the Live Stream Room saw this scene, they were all extremely anxious.

[Damn it! This thing knows how to pick its targets. It knows Little Brother Ye Bai is the hardest to deal with, so it chose to strike him first, right?]

[What should we do now? Little Brother Ye Bai is completely wrapped up. Forget what the thread itself is made of, if it seals him off completely, the air will become thin. Is it trying to suffocate Little Brother Ye Bai to death?]

[This is utterly malicious! How can anyone survive this? My Little Brother Ye Bai!]

[Bro won't be in trouble, relax!]

[Exactly! He won't be in trouble. After all, Little Brother Ye Bai’s speed is legendary. Think about it, if Little Brother Ye Bai wanted to dodge, he could have.]

[Right, right, right. I think Little Brother Ye Bai is doing this on purpose.]

The audience members had been very nervous, but after analyzing the situation, they felt that Little Brother Ye Bai might be acting deliberately.

Meanwhile, in the Villa.

The head of the Xie Family watched Ye Bai being trapped by the silk threads without showing any worry.

After all, Ye Bai carried the same blood as him, so these silk threads were nothing to fear.

But what was the purpose of Ye Bai acting this way?

Ye Bai’s personality was very similar to that person, and his thoughts were just as inscrutable.

One could even say he sought revenge for the smallest grievance.

He now had a feeling that Ye Bai was holding back, waiting for the right moment to annihilate this thing in one fell swoop.

He greatly anticipated what Ye Bai would do.

He wasn't the only one; Boss Li was also watching Ye Bai, waiting for his next move.

The idea that Ye Bai was truly trapped was nonsense. His black gold ancient blade could cut through iron like mud; it could slice through anything. This small bit of Sorcery was naturally no match for it.

He was even more curious about what was inside the outer coffin.

Inside the Tomb.

Ye Bai, still trapped by the silk threads, could sense what the people outside were doing.

“Get back!”

Ye Bai's voice came out from inside the threads, though it was somewhat muffled.

Wu Jing, Yang Mi, and Captain Zhao all heard Ye Bai's voice.

Joy appeared on their faces.

Ye Bai was fine!

That was great.

“Quickly move away! Ye Bai wants us all to stand clear.”

Yang Mi urgently looked at Wu Jing and Captain Zhao and said anxiously.

Everyone immediately backed away, no longer preventing the threads from pulling Ye Bai toward the outer coffin.

Just as the silk threads were about to reach the outer coffin, a black blade suddenly emerged from within the threads.

The blade pierced directly through the threads and into the outer coffin.

Puchi!

The blood-red outer coffin was instantly skewered by the black blade.

Hua hua hua!!!
