341: The human-faced skull is quite unique.
The Bead was the size of an egg, entirely jade green, glowing with a moist luster, and water seemed to flow faintly within it, like a small lake.
Ye Bai's mind stirred, and he took the Bead down.
He activated it using a Spell Formula, and immediately, a large amount of cool liquid gushed out from the emerald green Bead, flowing down the outer coffin and soaking the coffin.
"Haha, it really works!" Ye Bai was overjoyed.
He didn't stop, quickly running to a corner of the Tomb Chamber and using his Dagger to dig into the soil layer.
Soon, the soil layer was dug through, revealing the Bronze Coffin.
The surface of the Bronze Coffin was already mottled with rust, but one could still feel its ancient, heavy, and profound aura.
Ye Bai moved the Bronze Coffin, revealing what was inside.
Inside the Bronze Coffin lay a male figure, dressed in ancient clothes, lifelike, and just like the Dried Corpse Ye Bai had encountered before, he was dead.
"Who is this? Why is he buried here?"
Ye Bai was full of doubts. He circled the Tomb Chamber again and found that this Tomb Mound was unusual.
Besides the Bronze Coffin, there were hundreds of massive pillars supporting the entire Tomb Chamber, densely arranged, exuding an atmosphere of solemnity and reverence.
Ye Bai speculated that these pillars must form a large array.
It was just that he didn't understand Formations.
"Hmm?" Just then, he noticed something unusual at the bottom of the coffin. He reached out and touched it.
As soon as Ye Bai's hand touched the bottom of the coffin, he felt a chill spread from his fingertips.
He frowned, forcefully lifted a stone slab at the bottom of the coffin, and a thick cloud of Black Mist instantly surged out.
When the audience in the Live Stream Room saw this scene, the bullet comments instantly exploded.
"Holy cow, what is happening? That feels terrifying!"
"Streamer, be careful! Is this some kind of Evil Creature again?"
"Just how many secrets are left in this Tomb Mound? My heart is racing just watching!"
The Black Mist gradually condensed into a vague humanoid shape, letting out a sinister laugh: "You greedy humans, how dare you disturb my rest! All of you shall become my sacrifices!"
Ye Bai's expression was solemn. He intensified the flame in his hand and attacked the humanoid figure formed by the Black Mist.
The flame and the Black Mist collided, making sizzling sounds, but it didn't cause much damage to the figure.
"Ye Bai, what is that thing? Why is it so powerful?"
Yang Mi asked nervously from outside. Her voice was transmitted to the audience through the live streaming equipment.
"I don't know, but it's definitely not something good. Everyone be careful, don't get close," Ye Bai replied.
Just then, Meng Ziyi rushed over, holding a Precious Sword she had found in the Tomb Mound.
"Ye Bai, I'll help you!"
She swung the Precious Sword and slashed towards the Black Mist.
The Precious Sword seemed to possess some special power, and the Black Mist retreated slightly under its attack.
"This Precious Sword can restrain it. Let's attack together!"
Ye Bai said.
"Not good, it's activating the Formation!" Ye Bai was startled.
The audience in the Live Stream Room also sent worried bullet comments:
"Streamer, run! This Formation looks very dangerous!"
"I feel like this is really going to end badly this time. I hope they can stay safe."
As the pillars trembled, the temperature in the Tomb Chamber dropped sharply, and a layer of frost formed on Ye Bai and Meng Ziyi.
Their movements began to slow down.
"We can't let it succeed!"
Ye Bai gritted his teeth and pulled out several specially made copper coins from his backpack.
These copper coins were passed down to him by his Master, and they were rumored to possess mysterious power.
He threw the copper coins toward the pillars. The copper coins emitted a golden light in mid-air, temporarily suppressing the trembling of the pillars.
"Yang Mi, see if you can find a way to destroy the pillars or break the Formation!" Ye Bai shouted.
Yang Mi searched anxiously around. Suddenly, she noticed some strange symbols on the wall, similar to those she had seen on the Pagoda before.
"Ye Bai, there are symbols here! I think they might be related to the Formation!" Yang Mi shouted loudly.
Ye Bai and Meng Ziyi moved toward Yang Mi's direction while resisting the attack of the Black Mist.
When they saw the symbols on the wall, Ye Bai began to study them carefully.
"These symbols seem to be an ancient Formation Diagram. I need some time to decipher it," Ye Bai said.
The Black Mist seemed to sense Ye Bai's intention and attacked even more furiously.
"Hang in there, both of you!" Yang Mi watched anxiously from the side, tears welling up in her eyes.
The audience in the Live Stream Room also held their breath for them:
"Streamer, keep going! We're all praying for you!"
"I hope they can safely get through this crisis. It's too thrilling!"
"Streamer, hang in there! Nothing must happen to you!"
Ye Bai closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, various images and thoughts flashing through his mind.
"So that's it..." Suddenly, he opened his eyes and muttered to himself.
"I understand!"
After saying this, he raised his arm high, clenching his five fingers in a grasping motion.
As if the sky and earth were collapsing, the Tomb Chamber violently shook, and the surrounding pillars all collapsed.
The bronze vessels that were originally placed on the coffin all fell down, rolling across the Tomb Chamber with clattering sounds, which was quite terrifying.
The Black Mist was forced to roll back, re-entering the black coffin.
Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked up to the coffin to examine the strange mist inside.
He had just discovered a crack at the bottom of the coffin, and the Black Mist was escaping from this crack. Clearly, it wanted to use this coffin to leave. But how could Ye Bai let it have its way?
Ye Bai smashed the coffin lid with one punch, revealing the Black Mist inside.
At this moment, the Black Mist seemed extremely angry. It shot out violently, transforming into a sharp arrow stabbing toward Ye Bai.
Ye Bai slapped it away with a backhand, knocking it off course. Then he kicked the coffin over, sending the contents tumbling out.
A hideous and terrifying Skull appeared before the three people.
Ye Bai's pupils contracted, and he immediately took two steps back.
This Skull was truly terrifying; it actually had a human face, its eyeballs wide, and its mouth wide open, as if trying to say something.
Unfortunately, it had been dead for many years and could not speak, leaving only a withered skeleton.
"Holy crap! Is that a person?"
"Oh god, Streamer, be careful! If it bites you, you probably won't need a bath for the rest of your life!"
"Streamer, please don't be impulsive! We're waiting for the Rescue Team to arrive!"
...The audience saw this scene and all held their breath for Ye Bai.
Ye Bai stared at the Skull, feeling that something was fundamentally wrong.
Just then, the Skull suddenly came alive. Green, eerie Ghost Fire burned in its eye sockets, foul, viscous liquid dripped from the corners of its mouth, and it slowly crawled up from the ground.
