175: Dead Float and Huo's Immortal Worm

Ye Bai walked a few steps and then stopped.

Professor Wang looked in the direction of his gaze and saw white creatures appearing in the water. These things were stark white, devoid of any blood color.

"What are these things?"

One of the Archaeological Team members couldn't help but feel curious after seeing this scene.

But a chill also rose in his heart.

The audience in the Live Stream Room had been waiting there for a long time, only to see things floating in the water.

[Holy crap! These things clearly aren't anything good. Nothing bad will happen, right?]

[Probably not, right? Are these balls?]

[Are you kidding me? Are there balls in ancient times? Why don't you say those are human heads? Why don't you say those are human heads floating in the water?]

[Stop joking. What are these things? Why does it look like the number is increasing? They are all popping out of the water one by one.]

[I'm thinking of many bad things and outcomes, but I dare not say them.]

[Me too!!]

Seeing these things that were white and devoid of blood color, the audience's hearts grew tense.

According to the conventions of the Tomb, they were likely to encounter many inexplicable things again.

Inside the Tomb.

"Ye Bai, what are these things?"

After seeing this scene, Yang Mi, Reba, and Meng Ziyi, all five of them, subconsciously moved closer to Ye Bai.

It seemed as if only in this way could they find a sense of security.

"Dead Floats."

Ye Bai looked at the Dead Floats and said.

"Dead Floats?"

Upon hearing this term, there was even a trace of astonishment in Professor Wang's eyes.

"Professor, do you know about these Dead Floats?"

Seeing Professor Wang's surprised expression, Wu Jing was full of curiosity.

"I once saw records about some evil arts in an ancient book, and the existence of Dead Floats was among them."

"These things are very evil and cruel."

"This is a type of evil art; cases like this existed over a thousand years ago."

"The origin of Dead Floats is to implant a Gu larva into a young woman, cultivating it into a Gu infant. After ten months of pregnancy, just before birth, the woman's limbs would be brutally broken, and she would be forced to backward-embrace the Gu infant that had not yet left the mother's body."

"Then, boiling pine resin would be poured over the woman, fusing her and the Gu infant together to create a living human amber."

"This evil art forces the woman to endure inhuman pain before death. Her rage and resentment are sealed within the Dead Floats, which then gradually evolve into Gu poison..."

Professor Wang's voice echoed throughout the entire river channel. Everyone on site was stunned after hearing the origin of the Dead Floats.

Especially the girls.

They felt deep sympathy and heartache for these women.

Carrying a child for ten months only to be beaten to death, and then having her and the child turned into living human amber—just hearing about this felt cruel and terrifying.

Let alone the fact that they were experiencing it firsthand.

"This King Xian is truly despicable to be capable of such cruel things."

Upon hearing the origin of the Dead Floats, Cai Xukun immediately felt intense disgust toward King Xian.

For his own selfish desires, King Xian actually killed so many women; it was truly excessive.

"It is indeed very cruel."

"These women were truly unlucky to have encountered that master, King Xian; it is truly pitiful."

Huang Zitao and Hua Chenyu said with regret.

Captain Zhao and the other Archaeological Team members also looked at the Dead Floats in the water with regret.

Inside the Live Stream Room.

[Holy crap! These Dead Floats look so terrifying, but there's such a tragic story behind them.]

[Damn it! Is this something a human can do? Killing someone is one thing, but is it necessary to be so ruthless to a woman?]

[I truly feel sorrow for these women; from the very beginning, they became hosts for the Gu larvae, and in the end, they died so miserably.]

[Forget about that for now, I want to know if these Dead Floats will affect them?]

[Damn! I forgot about that because you didn't mention it; I was too busy feeling sorry for those Dead Floats. Didn't the professor mention something about Gu poison earlier? Is it poisonous?]

[Yes, yes, yes, it seems so.]

[It's over! Nothing will happen to them, right?]

The audience was very worried about Ye Bai and his group.

Those at the Archaeology Academy were very surprised after seeing this scene.

"I didn't expect these Dead Floats to be so vicious."

"It's a good thing Old Wang knows the origin of these things!"

"What kind of books does Old Wang read? How does he know so much?"

The other professors were very surprised after hearing this explanation.

"Fortunately, he knows a lot; perhaps he will be able to identify what these Dead Floats fear and their weaknesses."

Professor Guo also did not expect there to be so many Dead Floats in this place.

But he was also very worried about them.

Inside the Tomb.

The Archaeological Team members were recording the Dead Floats when they discovered faint blood mist emerging from the water.

That Archaeological Team member was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

"Did these Dead Floats split open? Why is there blood mist?"

That team member suddenly spoke up.

Many people focused their attention on the Dead Floats.

Just then—

The blood mist grew thicker and thicker, almost covering those Dead Floats completely.

After seeing this scene, Ye Bai's expression darkened.

"Hurry, leave."

Ye Bai suddenly said.

Before everyone understood what was going on, they saw Ye Bai already walking ahead.

He walked straight through the group of Dead Floats and headed forward.

Yang Mi, Wu Jing, and the others followed closely behind him.

Even the chatty and sharp-tongued Zhang Dada didn't say a word at this moment.

He could only follow Ye Bai.

Seeing this, no one hesitated and hurriedly followed behind him.

Just after everyone had climbed onto the shore, the red blood mist suddenly followed behind them.

The next second!

A huge bug emerged from the water. It had a face with no features, only a round mouth, but inside were many sharp teeth.

It was opening and closing, making a creaking sound.

Its skin was like armor, incredibly hard, and water droplets were dripping down its body.

Its body length was at least thirty meters.

"Ah!"

When the Archaeological Team members saw this scene, they couldn't help but scream out loud.

"Go!"

Professor Wang was also severely shocked.

His eyes were full of horror.

"Huos Immortal Bug!"

"Oh no!"

"Hurry, leave!!"

Professor Wang urged them to leave this place immediately.

After seeing the situation, the other team members took out their guns and fired at the giant bug.

"Don't! Don't shoot."

Professor Wang hurriedly spoke up to stop them.

"Why?"

Captain Zhao was stunned, retreating while firing.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

The bullets hit the bug's body, but they had no effect at all.

"What the hell! What's going on? Are the bullets not working?"

Captain Zhao blurted out subconsciously.

"It's not that the bullets aren't working; it's clearly invulnerable to swords and guns. Run!"

Wu Jing happened to hear Captain Zhao's words and hurriedly ran inside.
