300: This is incredible! A super gossip platform!

Xiao Xuan marveled, "Wow! Brother Ye, you know so many things."

Yang Mi, on the other hand, was lost in thought.

"Brother Ye, do you know the Corpse King's weakness?" Yang Mi asked.

Ye Bai said, "The Corpse King's characteristics are that he doesn't fear pain or injury, and his defense is incredibly high. Other than that, he has no fatal weaknesses."

Xiao Xuan frowned and said, "Then how should we deal with the Corpse King?"

Ye Bai said, "I have three methods."

Yang Mi immediately asked, "Tell us quickly."

Ye Bai said, "I once studied zombie movies, and there was a description about zombies in them. The Corpse King has a move called a Corpse Poison attack."

"The effect of Corpse Poison is similar to an anesthetic; not only can it leave an enemy unconscious, but it can also make a zombie lose its combat capability."

"However, this Corpse Poison must be used in conjunction with the Yin Qi inside the Corpse King's body to be effective; otherwise, zombies aren't afraid of these toxins at all. So I suggest we stay as far away from him as possible to avoid getting caught in it."

Xiao Xuan said distressfully, "I feel like this Corpse King is like an unkillable cockroach; there's no way to hide from him."

"Correct," Ye Bai said in a heavy voice.

"Although he isn't a zombie, he's even more troublesome than one. If we want to deal with him, we first have to find a zombie's weakness. This fellow has now been refined into a Corpse Fiend, and I believe the Corpse King has gained his own consciousness, so there must be some flaw."

"A flaw?"

"Correct. A zombie's weakness is in its head. As long as we gouge out his head, the Corpse King will definitely die."

Xiao Xuan said, "But we don't have an entrenching shovel."

"That's simple." Ye Bai took out two sections of steel rods, handed them to Yang Mi, and said, "These two sections of steel rods are used to pry open the coffin lid. I remember there should be a few antiques inside the coffin. Take those antiques and smash the zombie's head with them."

"Alright!" Yang Mi took the steel rods and ran excitedly toward another Bagua Platform.

Ye Bai walked over and crouched down, staring at the base of the Bagua Platform.

This Bagua Platform was cast from bronze and was covered in dense Seal Script characters.

There is a big difference between Seal Script characters and Seal Script calligraphy; even for Ye Bai, it took some effort to identify them. However, Ye Bai had long been well-prepared; he put on a pair of reading glasses and leaned in close to the Bagua Platform to carefully examine the seal characters on it.

These seal characters were complex and difficult to understand, with every stroke and line containing a certain divine charm, appearing profound and mysterious. The more Ye Bai looked, the more shocked he became. He felt as if he had touched upon something extraordinary.

"Brother Ye, what's wrong?" Xiao Xuan asked hurriedly, seeing his expression change slightly.

Yang Mi's gaze also fell upon Ye Bai.

Ye Bai shook his head, pointed at a line of characters, and asked, "Do you know what this line of characters is?"

The two women shook their heads.

Ye Bai said, "I know this symbol. This symbol is the Heavenly Stem Seal."

"Heavenly Stem Seal?" Xiao Xuan murmured the words to herself.

"Yes!" Ye Bai nodded, then pointed at another line of characters and said, "This symbol is called the Earthly Fiend Seal."

The two women nodded again.

Yang Mi asked, "Are you guys studying symbols?"

Ye Bai said, "This symbol is very important; it can help me find a way to deal with the zombie."

Yang Mi suddenly said, "I suddenly understand what you mean by saying all this. You want us to help you find the zombie's flaw, right? After talking for so long, it turns out you just want to kill with a borrowed knife!"

Ye Bai shrugged and said noncommittally, "Think whatever you want. Anyway, if you're unwilling to work, you can leave."

"Hmph! Who wants to take risks with you!" Yang Mi snorted coldly. "Sister Xiao Xuan, let's go!"

Xiao Xuan said, "But..."

"Let's go!" Yang Mi pulled Xiao Xuan and walked outside.

Ye Bai watched them with a smile, thinking to himself: Truly two silly girls.

After Xiao Xuan and Yang Mi left, Ye Bai cast his gaze toward a corner of the Bagua Platform.

There were many boxes piled there, looking quite old. The surfaces of these boxes were yellowed, appearing to be wooden boxes that had been stored for a long time. Ye Bai walked over and opened one of the boxes.

*Crack—*

The box opened.

A decayed smell immediately entered his nose.

Ye Bai covered his mouth and nose.

The box was filled with dust.

Ye Bai took it out.

There weren't many things in the box, just a few items scattered inside.

Among them, an eyeball was particularly conspicuous because it was transparent and green, as crystal clear as jade.

"What is this thing?" Ye Bai was somewhat surprised. He turned the eyeball over and found that it hadn't developed any blood vessels. Ye Bai had never seen such a situation before.

"What's this?" Xiao Xuan leaned in curiously.

"I'm not sure; it's my first time seeing this kind of eye too." Ye Bai shook his head. He picked up the other remaining items in the box.

"Eh? What's this again?" Ye Bai said in surprise.

Xiao Xuan leaned over to take a look and cried out, "Could this be the legendary Corpse Core?"

"Corpse Core?" Ye Bai was stunned.

Xiao Xuan nodded and explained, "After a body dies, the Corpse Core remains in the body for a period of time before eventually being completely consumed. When the Corpse Core disappears entirely, it means the body is truly dead."

"Moreover, the shape of a Corpse Core is similar to a person's head. As long as the Corpse Core still exists, it means there is still hope for the body to be resurrected, and after resurrection, its strength will become extremely terrifying."

Ye Bai sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "There's actually such a sinister thing? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Xiao Xuan said, "Corpse Cores are indeed very rare and are only occasionally mentioned in Ancient Books. However, Corpse Cores are often accompanied by curses or monsters."

Ye Bai was amazed and asked, "How do you know in such detail?"

Xiao Xuan's pretty face turned slightly red. "I..."

She said bashfully, "Actually, my grandfather told me... I only saw the records in an Ancient Book a while ago..."

"Oh? How did your grandfather know in such detail?" Ye Bai asked.

Xiao Xuan lowered her head shyly, not daring to look up at Ye Bai.

Ye Bai said with a laugh, "Since you're unwilling to tell me, I won't force you. Let's hurry up and find the flaw in this body."

Xiao Xuan said through gritted teeth, "Brother Ye, you're too mean!"

Ye Bai burst into laughter.

Xiao Xuan rolled her eyes at him and changed the subject, saying, "You said zombies are afraid of fire. Then we should burn these things."

She just wanted to put away all those antiques, but she was stopped by Ye Bai.

"These antiques are not simple. Wouldn't it be a pity to burn them?" Ye Bai said, "I think we should take these things with us and study them thoroughly."

Xiao Xuan said, "What if there really are zombies hidden inside?"

Ye Bai smiled and said, "If there really are zombies hidden inside, then we'll just wipe them all out!"

Xiao Xuan sighed, "I always feel like this isn't very reliable."

"I know what I'm doing," Ye Bai said.

So the two of them emptied all the antiques in the entire tomb and then left the tomb.
