One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

He turned his head and saw William not far away, also glancing at the jade box out of the corner of his eye.

Obviously.

Captain America also discovered the treasure.

Zhang Chulan's eyes darted around, and a plan immediately came to mind.

He straightened his clothes and put on a sincere expression.

He strode over to William's side.

"Brother William!"

Zhang Chulan patted William on the shoulder, his voice booming:

"Look over there! There's a jade box behind the altar!"

Chapter 385 The Great Corpse King

William was taken aback by the pat on the shoulder, and immediately became extremely wary.

I heard that this guy is a bandit who wouldn't even let a single floor tile go to waste in the treasure vault.

Now that they've seen a treasure of this caliber, they didn't just rush to snatch it, but instead took the initiative to come and remind me?

This doesn't make sense!

“I see it, Brother Chu Lan.”

William maintained his sunny smile, but his eyes were very wary.

"The boxes placed there must contain the temple's secret treasures."

"What, aren't you going to get it?"

"Oh dear! Brother, what are you saying!"

Zhang Chulan waved his hand in anguish, looking as if to say, "You underestimate me."

He pointed ahead to the American team members who were fighting to the death with the mummified corpse, his tone full of respect:

"Look at Hank and Lucy, they're fighting a bloody battle to cover us, they're working so hard!"

"Since we are allies, we must reward those who have contributed!"

Zhang Chulan spread his hands, his expression one of righteous indignation:

"Our Chinese team made quite a splash in the passageway earlier. Now that we're in the main hall, it's only right that your Behemoth team takes the lead!"

"Such a rare treasure should naturally be examined by you, Brother William! I will absolutely not try to take it from you!"

"please!"

Zhang Chulan made a gesture indicating "Please go first".

Upon hearing these words, William felt as if a hundred cats were scratching at his heart.

His mental radar was screaming: This kid is definitely setting a trap!

but.

The exotic fragrance emanating from that jade box was simply too tempting.

What if it contains the "Longevity Elixir"?

If he gives up like this, how will he explain it to the board of directors?

William's eyes flickered slightly as he quickly assessed the risks in his mind.

"Even if there are some traps in that box, I can definitely withstand it with my physical strength."

"This kid's probably afraid of dying and doesn't dare to take the risk. Since he's offered up the opportunity, I won't be polite about taking the initiative!"

Thinking of this, William's smile deepened.

"Brother Chu Lan, the Chinese people truly value integrity."

William nodded. "Since you're so kind, then I'll accept your offer."

After saying that, William strode toward the white marble platform.

Just as William turned around...

Zhang Chulan's righteous expression instantly transformed into a cunning and sly one.

He didn't stay put to watch the show; instead, he quickly retreated more than ten meters like a crab.

As he retreated, he frantically waved to Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing beside him.

He spoke rapidly in a very low voice:

"Old Wang, Old Qing! Retreat! Quickly retreat to the door! Junior Uncle, stop watching the commotion, retreat, retreat!"

Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing exchanged a glance, without even asking why, and tacitly slipped away, following Zhang Chulan to the door frame at the entrance of the main hall.

Chen Duo, who had been quiet all along, obediently retreated to the back.

……

Behind the altar.

William walked up to the jade box.

A unique fragrance wafted over.

Even if you hold your breath, you can feel that refreshing and invigorating aroma.

William was not blinded by greed.

He took a deep breath, and the blue energy within his body instantly condensed into a thick, high-density shield on his arms.

This shield is strong enough to withstand the explosion of an anti-tank mine at close range.

"Let me see what kind of weird stuff is hidden in here."

William pressed his hands against the lid of the jade box.

A sudden burst of power!

"Click".

A faint click of a mechanism snapping open was heard.

The moment the jade box lid was lifted!

The floor of the entire hall shook violently, as if it were an earthquake!

"boom--!!"

There was absolutely no wind-up!

The exquisite jade box exploded right before William's eyes!

But what was blasted out was not some hidden weapon or poison needle.

Instead, it was a terrifyingly dense, purplish-black miasma!

This poisonous miasma was like steam erupting from a pressure cooker, carrying extremely strong corrosiveness and explosive power, instantly engulfing William completely!

"Fuck!!!"

William only had time to let out a distorted scream.

The poisonous miasma continued its relentless advance, spreading wildly around the main hall like a tsunami!

"Cough cough cough! My eyes! My skin!"

Hank and Lucy, who were closest to the poisonous miasma, were the first to be hit.

The two men threw down the mummified corpse and screamed in agony, covering their faces.

The clothes were emitting pungent white smoke, clearly corroded by strong acid.

The members of the Chinese team, who were hiding behind the door frame, peeked out and watched this scene.

"Holy crap, this toxic smoke is too powerful! It can even melt energy shields?"

Zhuge Qing fanned himself, trying to blow away the strange smell that wafted over, and said with lingering fear.

Wang Ye patted his chest and glanced at Zhang Chulan:

"Old Zhang, you're a real bastard. Luckily you ran fast, otherwise you'd be rolling on the ground right now too."

Zhang Chulan crouched behind the door, peeking out half his head to look at William, who was enveloped in poisonous miasma and coughing violently.

Instead of showing the slightest sympathy, he started shouting in a very affected manner:

"Brother William!!! Are you alright, brother!!!"

"Oh dear! This is impossible to defend against! Big brother, you'd better hang in there!"

"This treasure truly tests one's character. Brother, you saved us from this calamity. I'm bowing to you here!"

Listening to Zhang Chulan's insincere wailing.

In the poisonous fog, William was so angry that he vomited blood repeatedly.

He finally understood why that little bastard had been so generous earlier!

Is that being generous?!

He realized there was a trap; he was using me as a mine-clearing soldier!

“Zhang...Chu...Lan…”

William, clutching his burned arm, struggled to crawl out of the poisonous fog, his blue eyes bloodshot.

"I swear... once I recover, I will definitely..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Then, Zhang Chulan's utterly innocent voice came from behind the door:

"Brother, don't rush to make an oath. Look back at what's behind you."

"That box just exploded, and it seems to have woken up those mummies' boss..."
