Chapter 560 Returning to the Tomb

Zhou Sheng has been observing his expression. Zhou Sheng is not sure whether Qi Ziyu did all this intentionally.

Qi Ziyu said: "The first time I tried to light the wick of the menorah, but after it failed, I stuck the candle on it with wax tears."

"Could it be that the action of lighting the wick has any special meaning?"

Zhou Sheng said: "It is possible. If the mechanism is a temperature-sensing device, although the action of lighting the wick fails, the temperature at the wick rises to a certain level, meeting the requirements for triggering the mechanism, so the wall tiles fall off, exposing the mural.

"

"But now there is no chance to verify whether this answer is correct..."

Before Zhou Sheng could finish speaking, Qi Ziyu interrupted: "There is a chance!"

Zhou Sheng looked at him and saw Qi Ziyu's expression filled with eagerness and desire, with some guilt in his eyes, as if he wanted to prove himself and save his mistakes.

"I can go back to the tomb and light the third lamp to try! As long as I take good protection, I won't faint from the poison in a while." Qi Ziyu said firmly.

Zhou Sheng has naturally discovered that Qi Ziyu's resistance to toxins is obviously stronger than everyone here.

Qi Ziyu was obviously the one who was most severely poisoned, but at this moment he had almost recovered as before.

Zhou Sheng took another look at the wound on Qi Ziyu's shoulder. Under the gauze bandage, there was no blood showing through.

Normally, for such a deep injury, the bleeding will not stop so quickly. At least the entire circle of gauze should be soaked thoroughly.

Qi Ziyu's physical condition makes people think of the legend of immortality.

Although the other people in the tomb didn't say much, doubts and curiosity arose in their hearts.

Especially the elderly professors.

After leaving the most toxic area and taking a short rest, the professor temporarily regained his sanity.

Although the professor is still unable to walk independently or see things clearly, his mind has regained consciousness and he can think normally.

When a person reaches a certain age, it is impossible not to yearn for immortality.

It is human nature to be afraid of death, but before today, the professor always thought that he could face illness and death calmly.

He thought he was mentally prepared, but it wasn't until his consciousness gradually faded after being poisoned that he felt the fear in his heart.

Until now, the professor is still in shock. At that moment, he was too close to death.

Just like countless people who have given up all hope and choose to jump from the roof of a building, they all think that they are not afraid of death.

But more than 70% of people will start to struggle and regret when they are in mid-air, or protect their heads, or yell, or desperately try to pick up anything they can touch.

Until the last moment, people's own hearts sometimes deceive themselves.

When the professor heard that Qi Ziyu was fine, he naturally knew that he had recovered as before.

At first, the professor thought that he was exploring the tomb with the tour group just out of his passion for academic research.

But it wasn't until this moment that he realized that deep down in his heart, there was also a trace of obsession for immortality.

If he is injured, he can recover quickly; if he can be invulnerable to all poisons and not afraid of illness; if his life is not only a short century, but can experience the ups and downs of countless dynasties...

The professor swallowed silently. Affected by the toxin, his throat was still a little dry at the moment, and the swallowing movement caused some tingling.

But his expectation and desire for immortality have gradually overtaken other thoughts and ideas.

Seeing that Zhou Sheng was still hesitating about his proposal, Qi Ziyu added: "I know there are some things you may not believe when I say them, but I really won't die because of them."

"Even if I am really poisoned to death, for me, it will only be a coma for a while. It won't take long before I wake up again."

"So let me try. Even if something goes wrong again, the situation won't be worse than it is now."

In Qi Ziyu's view, they were trapped here, waiting to die slowly.

Sooner or later, the poison will spread into the corridor, and even if Qi Ziyu cannot remove the third wall, even if a more violent poisonous mist will spread, it will be no different from the current situation.

On the other hand, if he succeeds, it may bring about some change.

Zhou Sheng obviously had an easier way to take everyone away at this moment, but doing so would undoubtedly reveal his identity, and he would not be able to further explore the Tianzun Association's conspiracy.

Unless absolutely necessary, Zhou Sheng did not intend to show his power beyond ordinary people.

And within the scope of normal people, letting Qi Ziyu try again is obviously a very cost-effective plan.

Zhou Sheng said: "I will accompany you. If there is another accident, I can bring you back in time."

Liu Ruyan understood immediately: "I am here to take care of professors and students."

Although Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang intended to help each other, their physical condition was ultimately powerless.

Xiao Zhang sat crouched on the spot, looking at the battlefield between zombies and scorpions in trance.

As he watched, he discovered that the zombies seemed to be preventing the scorpions from approaching them.

Once a scorpion wants to come over, dozens of corpse crickets will immediately block it.

It's as if the zombies are helping them!

Xiao Zhang didn't know where his bold idea came from, but he gradually gained courage and slowly moved towards the oval field.

Then, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the corpse cricket closest to him!

To be honest, Xiao Zhang doesn't like insects. When he sees all kinds of bugs indoors, he always tries to get rid of them as soon as possible. He has never thought of catching and observing them.

At the moment, Xiao Zhang didn't know what happened to him, and he dared to hold this ferocious corpse cricket in his hand!

But as soon as he caught it, Xiao Zhang immediately regretted it. He saw the sharp thorns arranged like toothbrushes at the mouthparts of the corpse cricket, and his scalp suddenly felt numb.

If you were bitten by this thing, the sourness would be unimaginable.

However, the zombie did not attack Xiao Zhang. Instead, it crawled off Zhou Sheng's hand, landed on the ground, and returned to its original battlefield.

On Xiao Zhang's hand, where the corpse cricket had crawled, there were red spots, which hurt and itched.

However, Xiao Zhang strengthened his guess. This scary-looking corpse cricket was really helping them!

On the other side, Zhou Sheng followed Qi Ziyu back to the tomb.

Zhou Sheng tightly covered his mouth and nose, but Qi Ziyu had already taken off the towel halfway and was walking swaggeringly, but there was still no abnormality.

"I seem to be immune to this poison." Qi Ziyu said, touching his eyes.

Now, he no longer feels the pain in his eyes and his vision is very clear.

Zhou Sheng said across the thick towel: "Since you have achieved immortality, why don't you just share your method instead of going through a lot of trouble and bringing others here?"
