95: Finally, the coffin was found, revealing an ancient corpse.
Walking at the very back, Yang Chaoyue couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this. She paused slightly and turned to look at the four of them.
"Those words... do you believe them? If you're afraid of dying, just say so. Why make excuses? You're really spineless."
Yang Chaoyue exposed Cai Xukun's facade, making his expression turn sour.
"Chaoyue, is it necessary for you to defend Ye Bai and oppose me at every turn?"
Cai Xukun glared at her, gritting his teeth.
"He's my savior. If I don't defend him, should I defend you instead?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chaoyue couldn't help but sneer. Did he even need to ask?
What kind of character did he have? And what kind of character did these people have? Didn't they have any self-awareness?
Seeing Yang Chaoyue's smile, the expressions of the four became unsightly, but they couldn't say anything and had to swallow their pride.
Just because they couldn't touch Ye Bai now didn't mean they couldn't later.
Inside the Live Stream Room—
[Holy crap! My little Chaoyue is so cool. There's nothing wrong with what she said; it's good not to forget one's roots.]
[Hmph, Brother Ye Bai is just too kind-hearted. If it were me, I wouldn't care if they lived or died. It would be better if these people just died. Such useless trash!]
[Are they just useless? They're ungrateful. Look at how they acted when they were crying for help versus how they're acting now. Do they think we're blind?]
[I really don't know what I liked about that Cai Xukun. He's not as handsome as Ye Bai, and he's not as capable. How could I have liked his face? I must be out of my mind.]
[That's enough, everyone. Kun Kun and the others are doing this for Great Xia's historical relics. They haven't done anything wrong. Don't go too far.]
[Exactly! The Great One also has good intentions. Ye Bai is being so willful; let's see who's unlucky once they get out.]
[You guys should just shut up! If I were you, I'd check how many fans they have left. They're probably losing them all right now.]
The viewers in the Live Stream Room were discussing fervently. They really couldn't bring themselves to like the performance of Zhang Dada and the other three; they were simply teammates from hell.
Inside the Tomb.
Ye Bai and the others arrived at another fork in the road.
They walked toward another Stone Door.
The moment the Stone Door was pushed open, they were all stunned.
It was an identical side chamber, except that in the very center of this side chamber sat a coffin. This coffin was pitch black all over, with some patterns on it.
However, the patterns weren't very clear.
On the walls, several skeleton oil lamps were slowly emitting light, but this glow appeared extremely eerie and strange in this side chamber.
Beside the outer coffin, several skeletons lay on the ground, covered in quite a bit of dust.
Ye Bai looked at the coffin before him. He furrowed his brows and stepped inside.
Behind him, Yang Mi, Reba, and the others felt their hearts tremble the moment they saw the coffin.
They were still very afraid of seeing a coffin. This wasn't a movie set; this was a real coffin!
It was a coffin from thousands of years ago. They even started thinking about horror movies they had seen before.
They were worried that a zombie or something would come out of it; that would be truly terrifying.
"Sister Mi!"
Reba grabbed Yang Mi's hand, her voice trembling.
"It's okay, don't worry."
Yang Mi gently patted her hand as a form of comfort.
Upon seeing the coffin, Bai Lu, Meng Ziyi, and Yang Chaoyue hurried to stand behind Ye Bai, as if doing so would give them a sense of security.
When Zhang Dada, Cai Xukun, and the other four saw it, their faces turned pale. They wanted to suggest leaving immediately, but remembering their previous unpleasantness with Ye Bai, they kept their mouths shut and swallowed their words.
The viewers in the Live Stream Room were all stunned when they saw the outer coffin.
[Oh my god! Seeing this coffin made me realize this is actually a Tomb. This is the first time I've seen an unopened Tomb coffin. Why am I feeling so nervous?]
[So exciting! I'm also very nervous! Will there be an Ancient Corpse or something like that inside?]
[There probably will be. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to it.]
[I wonder whose outer coffin this is. It looks... quite extraordinary! I've seen many coffins, but this is the first time I've seen one like this. The shape of this coffin looks so vintage!]
[So what if they see it? Seeing it is one thing, but they can't open the coffin! They don't have the authority.]
[Right, right, right. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. It's useless even if they see it. Without the Archaeological Team, none of them can open the coffin.]
The viewers' bullet comments flashed across the screen, their words carrying a hint of disappointment. Once the Archaeological Team arrived, would they be unable to continue the live stream?
The professors of the Archaeology Academy were watching the Live Stream Room with pleasant surprise.
This was a coffin!
A lot of information could be gathered from it. If they could get information about the interior of this coffin, it would be equivalent to knowing half of the information about this Tomb.
But for this information... they had to wait until Professor Wang arrived.
Right now, they were itching with impatience! They could only watch and not research; they were extremely anxious!
"I don't know where Old Wang is. This is killing me."
"Me too. I really want Old Wang to get there quickly."
"How about we let them open the coffin?"
One of the professors asked tentatively.
"Huh?"
"That wouldn't be right, would it? These are cultural relics. If they get damaged... wouldn't that be a disaster?"
"Yeah! I'm afraid that won't work!"
Although those professors said that, the seed had already been planted in their minds. This idea wasn't entirely unfeasible.
"What's wrong with it? Just tell him to be careful."
Professor Guo had the same thought, so he took out his phone, composed a message, and sent it to the Live Stream Room.
[You may open the outer coffin, but be careful with these cultural relics.]
Now that the people from the Archaeology Academy had spoken, the viewers were incredibly excited.
Mainly because the outer coffin could be opened soon, they were naturally beyond excited.
Thus, they copied and pasted the Archaeology Academy's message, flooding the entire screen.
The Cameraman happened to see these messages and relayed them directly to the group.
Upon hearing this news, Ye Bai approached the coffin and examined it carefully.
The pitch-black coffin was made of bronze and had been coated with a mixture of black dog blood, cinnabar, and black soil.
The patterns carved on this outer coffin were various flowers—flowers that had only petals and no leaves.
The petals, which were originally red, were now stained black, making them look even more eerie.
"Is this... the Equinox Flower? The flower that leads to hell."
Yang Mi looked at the flowers and spoke slowly.
"A flower from hell?" Wu Jing couldn't help but feel curious upon hearing this. "I don't know much about cultural relics, but I've seen many historical archaeology videos. Most outer coffins are carved with dragon patterns or auspicious cloud motifs, all for the prosperity of future generations."
"But this flower... why does it sound so strange? Do they want the person inside this outer coffin to go to hell?"
