Uncle San looked at Lin Yi and praised, "Young brother, your gun skills are amazing! Thank you for saving my nephew; the Wu family only has this one heir. By the way, I didn't see you carrying a gun before?"

Wu Xie, Xiao Ge, Pan Zi, and A Kui also looked at Lin Yi. Uncle San was right; where did the gun come from?

Lin Yi smiled and said, "We're all in the same boat, Uncle San, no need to be so polite."

After a pause, he added, "Actually, I'm a magician."

As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and the gun suddenly disappeared.

Uncle San, Wu Xie, Xiao Ge, Pan Zi, and A Kui all had their pupils contract simultaneously. Where did the gun go? How did it disappear?

A magician!?

What an amazing magic trick!

Even Xiao Ge, who was usually calm, carefully examined Lin Yi, his eyes full of surprise and unexpectedness.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Lin Yi couldn't help but find it amusing. No matter what, you wouldn't guess that he had put the gun into the system's item slot.

"Amazing!"

Uncle San was the first to give Lin Yi a thumbs up, filled with admiration. This incredible "magic" had already won him over.

Everyone had the same expression, full of admiration!

Wu Xie's eyes were even shining as he stared at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi activated the live stream with a thought. In just ten minutes, the number of viewers in the live stream room hadn't decreased; everyone seemed to be in high spirits, chatting away.

The live stream suddenly started, and a barrage of comments flooded the screen—

"Hey? The streamer is back!"

"Bro Lin, are you okay? I was so worried about you!"

"Streamer, I saw you fall into the water and was praying for you. I just want to ask... is the water down there good to drink?"

"Streamer, be more careful in the future. You're so stupid, falling into the water like that."

"Since the streamer is fine, show us Xiao Ge! Get out of the frame, streamer!"

"Damn, there's a fan!"

...

Lin Yi smiled at the camera and mouthed the words "gifts."

Want to see Xiao Ge? Sure! Send some gifts!

Everyone was already familiar with Lin Yi's routine, and the gifts started pouring in immediately.

It has to be said, Xiao Ge's looks are top-notch!

Those high-profile female streamers who earn gifts by showing their faces mostly attract male viewers, who are often rich.

But in Lin Yi's case, he could earn gifts by showing Xiao Ge's face, and most of the viewers were female. Don't underestimate the spending power of women.

Of course, there were also some male viewers who were attracted to Xiao Ge.

With a thought, Lin Yi activated the camera to secretly film Xiao Ge, capturing a few close-ups. What a handsome face!

At this moment, Uncle San said, "Xiao Ge already mentioned it; we need to use this thing to get out of this cave! We'll put the big corpse beetle on the bow of the boat to clear the way for us. This thing has been eating corpses all its life, and it's extremely yin, making it a natural enemy of zombies and other such creatures.

In this corpse cave, it's probably the king. With it on our boat, we'll definitely be able to get out.

We don't need to retreat. I want to see what's ahead, to find out how such a large insect could have been born here."

Everyone listened and didn't object. They took out folding shovels from their bags to use as poles and started pushing the boat forward.

Lin Yi was also using a folding shovel to row the boat, feeling a mix of excitement, tension, and some indescribable complex emotions. After all, they were about to encounter a zombie!

This was his first close encounter with such a "supernatural" thing!

Wu Xie was also rowing the boat and asked Uncle San, "Uncle San, look at the cave walls; they're all made of solid rock. How did the ancient tomb raiders dig this out? Even today, it would take hundreds of people to dig such a deep cave."

Uncle San laughed and said, "Look how round this cave is; it's very old. I suspect that the people who dug this cave were official tomb raiders, a specialized army. It seems that finding the tomb marked on the map won't be as easy as we thought."

Lin Yi nodded and said, "In ancient times, under Cao Cao, there was a position called the 'Tomb Raider Commander,' responsible for leading a specialized army of tomb raiders. They dug graves and tombs to earn money to support the army."

Everyone nodded, having heard of this before.

A Kui said, "Look at the size of the cave they dug; it's hard to believe that everything hasn't already been taken! I think that when we go in, we might not even find a single coffin board."

Uncle San grunted and said, "If this tomb was already looted thousands of years ago, we have no choice. But you must understand that this river cave is clearly marked on the map.

This means that the tomb raiders' tunnel was already there when the tomb was buried.

The age of the tunnel is likely older than the ancient tomb we're looking for.

And there are probably multiple tombs in this area. Who knows which tomb this tunnel was dug for."

Wu Xie couldn't help but say, "That means everything we're encountering now, including the large corpse beetle and the six-sided bronze wind chime, could be even older than the Warring States period?"

Uncle San shook his head, "What I'm more concerned about is why the tomb owner we're looking for would set their tomb around an already looted tomb. Isn't that a major feng shui taboo?"

Xiao Ge suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and pointed ahead, saying, "We've reached the corpse ground!"

Everyone looked ahead, and in the depths of the cave where the miner's light couldn't reach, there was a green phosphorescent glow.

Uncle San whispered, "Everyone, stay alert. Get your weapons ready. We have high-tech tools now, which gives us a significant advantage over the predecessors. If there are any water ghosts or zombies, it will be their misfortune!"

Pan Zi and Wu Xie pulled out double-barreled shotguns from their backpacks.

These double-barreled shotguns can fire two shots, and then you need to reload. They have good close-range firepower, but because they fire shot, they lose effectiveness at longer distances.

Uncle San and A Kui held military knives in one hand and used folding shovels to pole the boat with the other.

Only Lin Yi and Xiao Ge didn't make any moves, but no one found it strange.

Xiao Ge, being unique, was no surprise.

Lin Yi, being a "magician," could easily produce a gun out of nowhere!

Under the weak, scattered light of the miner's lamps, the river cave seemed to grow larger.

The green glow grew closer, and the area ahead suddenly opened up into a massive natural cave. The waterway had become a river inside the cave.

On the shallow banks of the river, there were countless green, decaying corpses, both human and animal, indistinguishable from each other. The skeletons closest to the inside were neatly arranged, likely placed there intentionally.

The outer areas were more chaotic, especially near the riverbank, where skeletons in various positions and partially decayed corpses were scattered.

Occasionally, large corpse beetles would emerge from the corpses. These beetles were smaller than the one on the boat but still several times larger than ordinary ones.

Some smaller corpse beetles tried to get a share, but as soon as they climbed onto a corpse, the larger beetle would bite and eat them.

Everyone remained on high alert.

Lin Yi was also ready, prepared to take out the Three Pure Ones' Bell at any moment. These "zombies" were not the food for the Dragon Boat Festival but rather well-preserved, unrotten corpses that had undergone some form of transformation, referring to zombies or other unclean entities.

The live stream room was also buzzing with excitement. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
