“Go!”
Just then, Zhang Lin suddenly spoke: “Don't touch anything. We have to leave before dawn.”
Hearing Zhang Lin’s words, Wu Sanxing and the others finally came to their senses.
They listened to the impact coming from the stone coffin and finally understood their current predicament!
There really was a zongzi!
It was just that the zongzi was currently pinned under Zhang Lin, unable to get out.
But once Zhang Lin couldn't hold it down anymore, it would be a problem.
They all knew that zongzis were difficult to kill.
You could use methods to trap it, but killing it was too difficult!
Wu Sanxing and the others had been tomb raiders for so many years and hadn't heard of anyone who could kill a zongzi!
Even Zhang Lin might not be able to!
After all, in their minds, zongzis were impervious to weapons. The only thing that could deal with them was a black donkey hoof.
But to use a black donkey hoof against a zongzi, there were prerequisites!
First, it had to be used before the zongzi was fully awakened.
Second, the black donkey hoof had to be stuffed into the zongzi's mouth.
Only then could it be subdued.
In this situation, even with a black donkey hoof, it wouldn't be much use!
Therefore, leaving was the best decision!
“Clang!”
The zongzi’s strength seemed to be gradually increasing.
Initially, it couldn’t push the coffin lid that Zhang Lin was standing on.
Now, it could lift the coffin lid a little!
Clearly, the zongzi was about to fully awaken!
As the zongzi awakened, its corpse energy would converge, and its strength would further increase.
It was questionable whether Zhang Lin could still suppress it.
Wu Sanxing understood this perfectly and immediately made a decision, shouting: “Panzi, take Tianzhen! Don’t touch anything here anymore, otherwise the zongzi will follow us!”
Everything here was the zongzi’s burial goods.
Taking its things would cause it to follow them, wherever they went!
Hearing this, Panzi didn’t dare to hesitate and quickly threw all the treasures he had just taken back into the bronze cauldron.
Then he quickly clasped his hands together, bowed to the stone coffin, and said: “Zongzi grandpa, I’m wrong! I’ve returned your things. Don’t follow me anymore!”
After speaking, Panzi pulled Wu Tianzhen and ran towards the only passageway here.
“What about Little Brother? We’re leaving him?”
Dilireba climbed up and asked worriedly.
Wu Sanxing said: “Don’t worry about him, young lady. He’s definitely safer than any of us!”
After finishing his words, Wu Sanxing and Da Kui followed Panzi and quickly left.
Dilireba glanced back at Zhang Lin, and she had no choice but to follow Wu Sanxing and the others. Before leaving, she didn’t forget to shout back: “Little Brother, we’ll wait for you in front. You must come over!”
However, Zhang Lin didn’t pay any attention to her.
After everyone left, Zhang Lin raised his eyebrows, jumped off the coffin, and went towards the passageway without hesitation.
But before he could leave, the zongzi finally broke out!
A massive force surged out from all directions.
With a deafening “boom”, the stone coffin was shattered!
Then, a crimson figure charged out of the mist and instantly arrived in front of Zhang Lin.
A terrifyingly large hand slammed towards Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin felt the scorching wind behind him and immediately bent down, dodging the zongzi’s attack. Then he leaned to the side, almost skimming the ground, and circled the bronze cauldron, coming to the zongzi’s back.
After regaining his balance, Zhang Lin shone his flashlight on the zongzi.
The zongzi had also turned around and was staring at Zhang Lin angrily.
This zongzi was extremely strange. Its skin was crimson, and its body was not as withered as other zongzis. Instead, its muscles were well-developed, with its tendons clearly visible!
If Wu Sanxing and the others were still here, they would have immediately recognized this as a blood corpse, a terrifying and feared creature.
Zhang Lin naturally also recognized this blood corpse.
But even facing such a creature, Zhang Lin’s expression didn’t change.
“Roar!”
The blood corpse let out a terrifying roar and immediately lunged at Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin remained calm, easily intercepting the blood corpse’s attack. Then he jumped back and quickly retaliated.
Zhang Lin’s attack was extremely fast. Even though he was holding a flashlight, he could still fight the blood corpse back and forth with just one hand.
However, the blood corpse’s defense was also incredibly formidable.
Zhang Lin found an opening and delivered a kick to the blood corpse’s head.
The blood corpse merely staggered a few steps back without any injuries.
Instead, Zhang Lin, in a moment of carelessness, was slapped on the shoulder by the blood corpse and immediately flew backward, crashing heavily into a wall. The bricks crumbled and broke into half!
It showed how monstrous the blood corpse was!
The blood corpse’s terror lay in its powerful destructive power, its robust defense, and its deadly corpse poison.
It was covered in corpse poison. Ordinary people would die from just a touch.
However, its corpse poison was useless against Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin possessed the blood of the Kirin, naturally suppressing all evil and poisonous creatures. No matter how strong the corpse poison was, it couldn’t cause any harm to Zhang Lin.
The moment Zhang Lin crashed into the tomb wall, the blood corpse charged forward!
Its iron hammer-like fist swung towards Zhang Lin’s head.
Zhang Lin reacted extremely quickly and rolled on the ground, dodging the blood corpse’s attack.
The blood corpse’s fist landed on the wall.
With a deafening “boom,” the wall shattered, and countless bricks broke into pieces.
But the next moment, a fiery red liquid erupted from the wall!
“Hiss hiss hiss!”
Even the blood corpse, with its tough hide, let out thick smoke when it came into contact with the fiery red liquid. Large amounts of its flesh were corroded away!
But the blood corpse was no longer human and lacked the sense of pain. Even though the fiery red liquid corroded its flesh, it showed no signs of pain!
Zhang Lin saw this and quickly recognized the fiery red liquid.
Alum acid!
A strong organic acid. If it landed on a person, it would instantly burn all their flesh!
It was specifically used for anti-theft purposes. If you didn’t find the right location and entered the ancient tomb from somewhere else, breaking down the tomb wall, you would definitely be drenched in this alum acid.
You wouldn’t know how you died.
The archaeological team from many years ago definitely met their end due to this.
Zhang Lin coldly watched this scene and glanced at the broken wall behind it. It was another tomb chamber.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lin didn’t waste any words and quickly went to the bronze cauldron. Then he pressed both hands on the cauldron and exerted force!
The bronze cauldron, which Panzi claimed couldn’t be lifted by twenty people, was pushed by Zhang Lin and flew out, smashing towards the blood corpse!
