Zhang Lin seemed to be observing the white mist, and after a while he said: “Do you have the Tiger Claw?”
Wu San Sheng was taken aback, not knowing what Zhang Lin wanted the Tiger Claw for. Could he be planning to use it to hook onto the wall on the other side, and then climb over using the rope?
Still, Wu San Sheng took out a pair of Tiger Claws and gave them to Zhang Lin.
After taking the Tiger Claws, Zhang Lin turned to look at the nearest corpse instead.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, the Tiger Claw landed steadily on the corpse, hooking onto its clothes.
Zhang Lin pulled with a sudden force, and actually hooked the corpse directly over.
Now everyone finally understood Zhang Lin’s purpose.
“Pfft!”
The corpse landed lightly on the ground, as if it had no weight.
“How strange, why is this corpse so light?”
Wu Tian Zhen looked at the corpse as it landed, and said curiously.
The others also looked at the corpse curiously.
An ordinary corpse landing would have a clear sense of weight, but this corpse was like a piece of clothing falling to the ground, very strange.
Wu San Sheng squatted down to take a look, and said: “This person’s clothing is the same as the previous corpses, it’s definitely from the archaeological team, but why is this strange plant growing on him? And his neck…”
It could be seen that the corpse’s neck was completely broken, and the plant was growing right from the neck.
Wu San Sheng used his dagger to touch the corpse’s skin, and found that it was incredibly fragile, and was immediately torn open.
This person was like a lantern!
Only the skeleton remained inside, with a layer of paper-like skin on the outside, there was no blood, flesh, or organs!
“My god!”
Dili Reba couldn’t help but exclaim, covering her mouth in disbelief.
Wu Tian Zhen and Pan Zi also gasped, feeling a chill down their spines!
This was terrifying!
The corpse in front of them was completely empty, only the skeleton remained!
Where did his blood, flesh, and organs go?
Even Wu San Sheng took two steps back in fear, looking at this “corpse” in astonishment.
Only Zhang Lin stared at the corpse with a calm gaze.
And after a moment, Zhang Lin flicked his wrist and cut the strange, large-leafed plant in half.
“What the heck is going on? Why did this corpse lose all its blood and flesh, was it eaten by this plant? Or by some other insects?”
Wu Tian Zhen said in terror.
Pan Zi said: “Little Three Master, if it were insects, how could they eat only the flesh and not the skin?”
After hearing Pan Zi’s words, Wu Tian Zhen also thought it made sense.
It seems that this strange plant really did eat this corpse’s blood and flesh!
He looked at the other few corpses in the tomb chamber, each one with a plant growing on them, it seems that their blood and flesh had all been devoured!
Wu Tian Zhen felt a prickle on his scalp, and didn’t dare to get any closer to the tomb chamber, he whispered: “What exactly is that plant, how terrifying? What kind of monster is hidden in this tomb chamber?”
At this time, Pan Zi said: “You guys look, there are some white, flocculent things clinging to this corpse’s clothes, a bit like dandelion fluff!”
As he spoke, Pan Zi squatted down to examine those “dandelion fluffs”.
However, Zhang Lin suddenly yelled out: “Don’t move!”
As soon as these words came out, Pan Zi’s body went cold, his whole body froze, the hand that was about to touch the “dandelion fluff” abruptly stopped!
He turned his head with difficulty: “Brother Zhang, wh-what’s wrong?”
Everyone was also on high alert.
They all knew that whenever Zhang Lin spoke in that tone, it meant that the situation was serious!
It could very well be a matter of life or death!
Zhang Lin pulled Pan Zi away, and then took out a bottle of water, pouring some of it on the “dandelion fluff”.
Under everyone’s unbelievable gaze, the “dandelion fluff” actually expanded and grew rapidly in just a few seconds, growing to the size of a fist in the blink of an eye!
Seeing this, everyone’s expressions changed.
“What is that thing? Could it be some kind of mold?”
Dili Reba gaped, saying strangely.
Wu San Sheng seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly said: “Everyone, back away, don’t get close to the white mist!”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Tian Zhen and the others took another few steps back.
Wu Tian Zhen hurriedly asked: “Third Uncle, what exactly is this thing?”
Wu San Sheng said with a solemn expression: “I don’t know what it is, but I heard your grandfather mention it before, it appeared in an ancient tomb in the Northern Great Desert!”
“Grandpa encountered this?”
Wu Tian Zhen said in surprise.
Wu San Sheng nodded: “This thing looks like white mist, but it’s actually made up of tiny, tiny molds, of course, it could also be some kind of strange seed, they usually float in the air, you can’t tell what they are, but once they encounter water, they will expand and grow rapidly!”
“If you accidentally inhale it, it will attach to your nasal cavity or throat, and grow rapidly using human body fluids, and quickly fill the entire nasal cavity and respiratory tract, causing suffocation!”
Pausing, Wu San Sheng looked at Zhang Lin: “Brother Zhang, could this be the white, flocculent thing in front of us?”
Zhang Lin nodded.
Wu San Sheng looked serious, he said: “I didn’t expect that this thing would continue to grow after entering the human body, devouring all the blood and flesh of the human body, becoming nourishment for its growth!”
Then, he looked at the plant on the ground: “If I’m not mistaken, when this plant grows fully, its leaves will turn white and then decompose in the air!”
Zhang Lin nodded again, looking at the seven coffins.
While Dili Reba, Wu Tian Zhen, and the others looked at the white, flocculent thing that had grown to full size in terror, their faces turning pale.
Pan Zi cursed: “Damn it! What the hell is this place, why are there so many weird things!”
Dili Reba said a little aggrieved: “I’ve said before that this place is very dangerous, you guys wouldn’t listen…”
These words made Pan Zi and Wu San Sheng silent.
After a moment, Wu San Sheng said: “Alright, there’s no turning back now, let’s think about how to get out of this hellhole.”
Then, he looked at Zhang Lin: “Brother Zhang, what should we do now?”
