263: Mysterious pattern appears, causing a surge in popularity.

Ye Bai's brow furrowed as he pondered their next move. Beside him, Yang Mi watched the unconscious Meng Ziyi with a face full of worry.

"Ye Bai, are we really going to find the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King? That's too dangerous," Yang Mi's voice trembled slightly.

Ye Bai glanced at her and said firmly, "There's no other way. Only by eliminating the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King can we break the Soul-Locking Chain and save Meng Ziyi."

Yang Mi bit her lip and nodded helplessly. "Then what should we do now?"

Ye Bai looked around and said, "First, find a safe place to rest, recover our strength, and then formulate a plan."

They moved cautiously through the Secret Passage, searching for a suitable spot.

After walking for a while, they found a relatively hidden small cave. Ye Bai checked it over, and after confirming there was no danger, he led Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi inside.

Yang Mi gently placed Meng Ziyi on the ground, then looked at Ye Bai and asked, "Ye Bai, are you confident you can deal with the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King?"

Ye Bai was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm not entirely confident, but we must try."

Yang Mi sighed, her eyes filled with anxiety. "I hope we can succeed."

Ye Bai began to organize his gear, checking if his Steel Knife was sharp and sorting through various Tomb-robbing Tools. Yang Mi stayed by Meng Ziyi's side, occasionally wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Ye Bai, where do you think the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King will be?" Yang Mi broke the silence.

Ye Bai stopped what he was doing, thought for a moment, and said, "We can look for clues in the Tomb Chamber from earlier; maybe we can find traces of the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King."

Yang Mi nodded. "Alright, we'll go together once Meng Ziyi wakes up."

After a while, Meng Ziyi slowly woke up. She opened her eyes and saw Yang Mi and Ye Bai, a weak smile appearing on her face.

"What happened to me?" Meng Ziyi asked in a raspy voice.

Yang Mi quickly took her hand and said, "You fainted just now, and we encountered a lot of danger. You have a Soul-Locking Chain on you now, and we must find the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King to break it."

Hearing this, Meng Ziyi's face turned pale. "Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King? That's terrifying."

Ye Bai walked over, looked at Meng Ziyi, and said, "Don't be afraid, we'll find a way. How are you feeling now?"

Meng Ziyi moved her body and said with a frown, "I ache all over and have no strength."

Ye Bai took out some herbs and handed them to Yang Mi. "Apply these to her; they can relieve the pain."

Yang Mi took the herbs and carefully applied them to Meng Ziyi. Meng Ziyi looked at them gratefully.

"Thank you," Meng Ziyi said.

Ye Bai nodded slightly. "No need for thanks, we're all in the same boat now."

After resting for a while, they decided to return to the previous Tomb Chamber to look for clues.

Ye Bai led the way, with Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi following closely behind. Along the way, they were exceptionally alert, fearing they might encounter danger again.

Back in the Tomb Chamber, everything was a mess. Ye Bai carefully observed the surrounding walls and coffins, hoping to find some clues. Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi also helped in the search.

"Ye Bai, look at this pattern, what does it mean?" Yang Mi pointed to a strange pattern on the wall and asked.

Ye Bai walked over and carefully observed the pattern. "This pattern might be some kind of instruction, but I'm not sure exactly what it means."

Meng Ziyi also leaned in, looked at the pattern, and said, "Could it be related to the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King?"

Ye Bai pondered for a moment and said, "It's possible. Let's look for other similar patterns."

Meanwhile, the viewers in the Live Stream Room were tensely watching their every move.

"Wow, this is too exciting! Are they really going to find the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King?"

"Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi are so brave, but I'm really worried about them."

"Boss Ye Bai is so cool, I hope they'll be safe."

Viewers posted their opinions one after another in the bullet comments, and the Live Stream Room's popularity continued to soar.

Some viewers began to analyze the current situation.

"I feel like their hope of finding the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King is very slim; this Ancient Tomb is full of danger everywhere."

"But if they don't find the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King, the Soul-Locking Chain on Meng Ziyi won't be broken, and they have no other choice."

"I hope they can find more clues to increase their chances of finding the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King."

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi's fans were even more tense and worried.

"Mi Mi must be careful, nothing bad can happen to her."

"Keep it up, Meng Ziyi, I hope you get better soon."

"Ye Bai must protect the two of them!"

On some social platforms, topics about this Live-streamed Tomb-robbing Variety Show also heated up rapidly. Netizens discussed Ye Bai and the others' experiences, guessing their fate.

"This variety show is truly wonderful, even better than those TV dramas."

"I hope they can successfully find the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King, break the Soul-Locking Chain, and leave the Ancient Tomb safely."

"I feel like their journey is so difficult, but I also admire their courage."

Meanwhile, in the Ancient Tomb, Ye Bai, Yang Mi, and Meng Ziyi continued to search for clues about the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King.

"Ye Bai, we've been searching for so long and still haven't found anything, what should we do?" Yang Mi asked somewhat anxiously.

Ye Bai frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Don't worry, let's look more carefully; maybe there's something we've overlooked."

Meng Ziyi also said from the side, "Yes, Yang Mi, we can't give up."

They continued to search for clues in the Tomb Chamber, not missing a single corner. Suddenly, Yang Mi found a stone slab in a corner with some strange characters carved on it.

"Ye Bai, come quickly, there's something here," Yang Mi shouted excitedly.

Ye Bai and Meng Ziyi walked over and saw the stone slab, which read:

"The Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King has been resurrected..." followed by many messy patterns.

Yang Mi cried out in surprise, "We found it!"

Ye Bai and Meng Ziyi saw this sentence, looked at each other, and said, "It seems our guess was correct; the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King really has been resurrected."

Yang Mi nodded. "Let's leave here quickly."

Ye Bai shook his head, however, and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Although we know the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King has been resurrected, we haven't seen it in person yet. I want to see what it looks like."

Yang Mi hesitated, "But what if the Ten-Thousand-Year Zombie King attacks us?"

"Don't worry, with me here, I won't let it hurt you," Ye Bai said confidently.

Looking at Ye Bai's determined gaze, a warm current inexplicably welled up in Yang Mi's heart.

"Okay! Then I'll go with you!"

Seeing this, Meng Ziyi also suggested, "I'll go too!"

The three reached a consensus and headed towards that Tomb.

The deeper they went into the Tomb, the dimmer Ye Bai found it became.
