171: Tomb and burial site to ward off evil spirits

The golden mask now fell directly into the interior of the outer coffin.

It made a faint, crisp sound.

"It can be taken away now, since it's already like this anyway."

After hearing this sound, Zhang Dada felt that there was no point in asking Professor Wang anymore.

He might as well just take it; since that High Priest had already turned into a Dried Corpse, could he still tell them not to take it?

Professor Wang nodded slightly after hearing this.

The team member impatiently picked up the mask and then took out a tissue to start cleaning off the filth.

Meanwhile, Professor Wang began to study the jade coffin. There were carvings on this jade coffin, and what was carved were rows of houses. These houses were very magnificent and looked quite imposing.

The team member behind him took a picture of this image and collected evidence.

"What is this? I can understand carving auspicious clouds or Dragons or something on the outer coffin, but this is the first time I've seen houses like this."

Yang Mi squatted down to look at the outer coffin with Professor Wang, not really understanding.

"This is a Tomb-Suppressing Mausoleum. According to historical records, this thing is used to suppress the evil spirits in the vicinity."

"But now that this Tomb-Suppressing Mausoleum has been destroyed, I'm afraid the road ahead won't be easy to travel."

Professor Wang touched the carvings on the outer coffin, his tone filled with some worry.

Ancient people valued auspiciousness and smooth transitions, but now that the Tomb-Suppressing Mausoleum had been damaged by Ye Bai, there was a fear that something inauspicious would happen later.

"Evil spirits?"

Reba looked at the outer coffin and said, puzzled.

"Isn't this High Priest an evil spirit?"

Yang Mi looked at her dazed expression and smiled helplessly.

"You can still laugh at a time like this; the road ahead won't be easy."

Hua Chenyu didn't hear anything else, but he did hear the words about evil spirits arising and the road ahead being difficult.

"We'll travel it even if it's difficult. Wasn't it also difficult back at Yelang Kingdom? Didn't we come out safely? As long as Ye Bai is here, I won't worry."

After hearing Hua Chenyu's words, Yang Chaoyue didn't feel any fear at all; as soon as she thought of Ye Bai, she felt very at ease.

After hearing Professor Wang's words, Ye Bai marveled inwardly. As expected of an archaeology professor, he knew so much, which saved Ye Bai a lot of trouble; at least he didn't have to explain so much.

It wouldn't affect his role-play percentage as Zhang Qilin.

In the Live Stream Room.

【Oh my! It's truly unbelievable. This is the first time I've heard an archaeology professor analyze things on the spot; what he said is really well-founded.】

【As expected of a professor, his words are very clear; I understood it instantly.】

【I didn't need the professor to tell me that the road ahead would be difficult; after all, this place is so terrifying, there must be some unspeakable things going to happen.】

【Not afraid, not afraid, with Brother Ye Bai here, I'm not afraid of anything!!】

【I have the same thought, haha!!】

The audience was still discussing it among themselves, and they had a lot of confidence in Ye Bai.

Inside the Archaeology Academy.

After seeing this scene, those professors were all stunned.

The appearance of this High Priest was truly too bizarre. They had just entered and saw the High Priest guarding the door. This... wouldn't that be too terrifying?

"The Tomb-Suppressing Mausoleum was destroyed just like that; it's a real pity."

Seeing that the Tomb-Suppressing Mausoleum had been destroyed, Professor Guo sighed inwardly; it was truly a pity.

"The Tomb-Suppressing Mausoleum is meant to suppress evil spirits. Whether this Tomb-Suppressing Mausoleum could suppress evil spirits, I don't know, but I think Ye Bai is even more useful than those Tomb-Suppressing Mausoleums."

Professor Qian believed in Ye Bai one hundred percent and even felt that Ye Bai was better than those things.

"What should we do next?"

One of the professors looked at these people with worry.

"What do you mean, what should we do?"

Professor Guo looked at him curiously.

"Isn't it resolved now? Do you still have anything to worry about?"

"Professor Guo, we aren't just considering this issue, but also the problem of the Tomb Robbers. There can't be only these few Tomb Robbers."

"From the words of these Tomb Robbers, one can tell that these Tomb Robbers are not ordinary good people; they talk about killing in every sentence. I'm worried that if Ye Bai and the others have a head-on conflict, they will be in danger."

Another professor was thinking about something else.

"Captain Zhao and the security team are the best soldiers; they shouldn't have any trouble."

Professor Guo still had a lot of confidence in them.

The other professors were worried, but didn't say much, instead being more concerned about those Tomb Robbers.

With Ye Bai here, the creatures in the Tomb are fine, but these Tomb Robbers are not to be trifled with.

No matter how powerful Ye Bai is, he can't compare with real knives and guns.

Inside the Tomb.

Ye Bai came to the side of that Tomb Robber and found a mobile phone inside his clothes. He saw communication messages on the phone.

He didn't see anything else, only messages that hadn't been deleted.

【You go in first, we will go find you after we open this outer coffin.】

Seeing Ye Bai squatting there without moving, Wu Jing squatted down to look at his messages.

"It seems like it's not just these few people; there are others who have already gone in."

"They were able to avoid the Corpse Beetles and Saber-toothed Salmon earlier; they must have had an acquaintance leading the way. Professor Wang was right."

Wu Jing said with a deep breath.

"Do you know who these people are?"

Ye Bai looked at these people's clothes and the things they had taken out earlier.

"Southern Grave Diggers."

"Is this a name for Tomb Robbers?"

Wu Jing looked at Ye Bai in surprise.

"Mm."

"Are they very powerful?"

Wu Jing was very curious about this industry.

"I don't know."

Ye Bai actually really didn't know. What he knew was all extracted from Zhang Qilin's memories. He hadn't fully role-played as Zhang Qilin yet, and many memories still didn't exist.

So he only knew a general idea, and as for what it would be like in the end, he wasn't sure.

After hearing this, Wu Jing was a little disappointed, but didn't say much else.

Then he looked at the time on his wrist and glanced at those people from the Archaeological Team. They were very excited about the outer coffin, and it was estimated that they wouldn't be finished anytime soon.

"Then what should we do next? Should we continue walking? It's almost five o'clock. If we're in the forest, I'm afraid it will get dark very early."

Wu Jing looked at Ye Bai tentatively.

Ye Bai looked up and saw that it was getting late. It got dark quickly in the forest, so he decided to rest right where they were.

As soon as Zhang Dada and Cai Xukun heard that they didn't have to walk anymore, they sat directly on the ground and kept a distance from the outer coffin.

The audience watched Professor Wang and the others researching the artifacts so meticulously and felt that this profession really wasn't for everyone.

This really requires great patience.

【I really feel that this profession isn't for everyone.】

【It's normal that I couldn't become an archaeology professor.】

【I might be bored to death dealing with these artifacts and corpses, and then going to dig through those ancient texts, oh my god... I would be so bored.】
