Tomb Raiding: The Bloodline of Dragons and Snakes, Starting from the Kunlun Divine Palace

Looking at the Ultimate Treasure Shop (Beginner) purchase page in his mind, he hesitated.

There are now three items in total: Soft Corpse Incense, Corpse Fixation Pill, and Rejuvenation Powder.

To be honest, every item in this tomb of the Qin Dynasty has a miraculous effect. Such an ancient tomb must contain many strange and terrifying things.

I was a little undecided for a moment, so I decided to keep it for now and see what happens before buying it again.

.............

"Ouch... my little brother Wu Xie, what's wrong with you?"

"Would you like me to give you a back massage to help clear your meridians?"

Seeing Wu Xie struggling to breathe, Fatty Wang rubbed his shoulders in concern.

As he spoke, he reached out and took the package off the other person's back, then carried it on his own back as well.

After a while, Wu Xie caught his breath. He stood up from the ground, glanced at the ground gratefully, and didn't say anything sentimental, as if everything was understood without words.

hiss....

Fatty Wang felt a chill run down his spine from the stare and instinctively shivered.

"You naive little thing!"

"I'm an upright person. If you need anything, please go to your 'bro,' don't treat me like this~"

..........

Wang Yueban didn't hesitate and walked directly to his side, clasping his hands in a fist salute:

"Brother Tian, ​​thank you so much this time. I don't know what nice words to say, so let's just say this. I will always remember your life-saving grace!"

.....

Wu Tianjiao waved his hand to indicate that it was unnecessary. He turned to look into the depths of the tomb passage, and shone his flashlight. The tomb passage ahead was dark and long. The beam of the white flashlight shone out, but he couldn't see the end of it, as if it had been swallowed up completely.

Chapter 193: This person was clearly dead not long ago.

"We can't go back now. For some reason, so many lice have suddenly appeared at the exit. Let's move forward as quickly as possible and try to find the others in the other side of the tomb passage."

"After all, we can't get out anytime soon, and most of the food and water we brought are stored there..."

Fatty Wang spoke with some hesitation. He didn't want to linger, as the longer it went on, the worse it would be for them. It was better to leave as soon as possible.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty Wang took the lead and cleared the way, with Wu Xie and Wu Tianjiao following behind.

Just then, Wu Xie subconsciously looked at the spot where the bluestone bricks had been, for some reason.

In an instant! The totem patterns on the bluestone bricks seemed to twist and writhe once more...

Wu Xie opened his mouth, looked at Wu Tianjiao and Wang Yueban beside him, but ultimately shut his mouth and said no more.

This tomb passage...

This is really a bit eerie.....

..............

In fact, Wu Tianjiao had noticed Wu Xie's unusual behavior a long time ago. He had secretly observed the place Wu Xie was staring at several times, but he had not found anything unusual.

But this very normalcy is the most abnormal thing, because Wu Xie, with his innate innocence, possesses a certain unknown ability, and anything abnormal he discovers is never a good thing.

Better safe than sorry; even with a protective system, one should still remain cautious.

"Da da da!"

The rhythmic footsteps of the three echoed through the tomb passage. After walking for about five minutes, Wang Pangzi, who was in front, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

.....

"What's wrong, Fatty? What are you spacing out for?"

Wu Xie asked, somewhat puzzled.

But Wang Yueban remained motionless. After a long while, he finally spoke in a trembling, low voice:

"Um... look... that dark shape... what is it... I feel like it might be a person...?"

Wu Tianjiao sensed something was off about Wang Pangzi's voice. This Wang Yueban always called himself a tomb raider and was incredibly bold, so why was he speaking so shakily now?

Reaching out to pull Wang Yueban aside, the scene before Wu Tianjiao made his heart skip a beat.

Just as Wang Yueban had said, a dark figure was lying tens of meters ahead, its body pressed tightly against the crack in the tomb passage wall.

The beam of the flashlight wasn't very clear.

...........

"Ha! I, Fatty, am a tomb raider! How can I tarnish my ancestors' reputation in this place! Let me see your true face! Are you a human or a ghost!"

Wang Yueban roared, bolstering his courage, and led the group quickly over.

.......

"hiss....."

"It actually is a person!"

Looking at the motionless man in black lying on the ground in front of them, Wu Tianjiao and the other two looked rather grim.

Wu Tianjiao was certain that this guy wasn't one of his group, but why was he here?

The man in black lay prone on the ground, his face down, so his face was not clearly visible.

.......

However, Fatty Wang stepped forward and examined the other person closely, then reached out and placed his hand over the other person's nostrils to feel their breathing:

"Dead...he's not breathing anymore!"

“I recognize this person. He was one of the experts Kong Zhengye invited in the previous batch. Back then, in order to obtain the mutton fat jade, this guy must have triggered the tomb's trap and died on the spot!”

"The problem is, this guy should be in the main burial chamber deep inside the tomb passage, but... how could he suddenly appear here...? This doesn't make sense..."

.........

This time, neither Wu Xie nor Wu Tianjiao refuted the veracity of Wang Yueban's words, because the vivid scenes before their eyes left them with no reasonable explanation.

Wu Tianjiao narrowed his eyes, and he subconsciously took two steps forward, reaching out to touch the neck of the corpse on the ground.

Comparing it to some information he had seen before, he began to explain:

"The average human body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius when alive, with a normal range of 36 to 37 degrees Celsius."

At this point, Wu Tianjiao reached out again and touched several different areas: his neck, ankles, and wrists. After touching each area, a sense of heaviness settled over him.

"The lower the temperature of the environment around the body, the faster the body heat dissipates and the faster the body cools down. The body of an ordinary adult is usually in a room temperature environment of 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. In the first 10 hours after death, the temperature drops by about 1 degree Celsius per hour on average. After about 10 hours, the rate of drop slows down. After about 24 hours, the body temperature drops to a level close to the ambient temperature."

As Wu Tianjiao finished speaking, he turned to look at Wang Yueban behind him, his eyes filled with solemnity.

We are now inside the tomb passage of the Qin Dynasty, where the temperature is around 10 degrees Celsius, but this strange corpse...

[Ding! Special mission triggered!]

Wu Tianjiao looked at the text information that suddenly appeared in his mind.

He found the ultimate treasure system in his mind to be somewhat endearing. In fact, the details of the corpses he had discovered before were all from his daily readings. Now that he was applying them in practice, he had achieved quite a bit of success.

Moreover, the system's act of giving away points in his mind was quite unexpected.

Well, never mind!

I won't hold it against you for the sake of the reward.

..........

"...Um..."

"Brother Qin, don't scare me. Judging from what you're saying... this corpse... is something strange?"

Wang Yueban was somewhat surprised. He really didn't have the courage to express his guesses directly. Although he called himself a tomb raider and was not afraid of encountering demons and monsters, he couldn't generalize about the current situation!

Wu Tianjiao nodded, squatted down again, pointed to four parts of the corpse, and solemnly began to speak.

"The temperature inside the tomb passage is low, and during the cooling process of the corpse, the cooling rate of different parts is not synchronous. The tips and edges of the corpse cool down faster than the torso, and its surface cools down faster than the internal organs. Under normal circumstances, the earlobes, fingertips, and nose tip cool down first, followed by the limbs, torso, and finally the armpits."

Wu Tianjiao's face was terrifyingly gloomy at this moment, and every word he uttered was like a sharp blade striking Wang Yueban's mind.

"If what you said before, Fatty Wang, is correct, this person died several days ago when he entered the tomb of the Wang Qin Empire. But why is his body temperature now almost the same as a normal person's?"

"Through physical characteristics..."

"This person has clearly only recently died!"

“Hehe….haha…”

"Brother Wu Tianjiao, you're really joking. How could such a bizarre thing exist in the world? I saw this guy die with my own eyes several days ago. Any animal would be dead by now. Don't try to scare me... I'm not someone to be trifled with!"

Fatty Wang chuckled, saying he didn't believe Wu Tianjiao's words, but he still took a few steps forward and reached out to touch the skin of the man in black on the ground.

..

"hiss!"
