Chapter 34: A Stab Wound Piercing the Chest!

Zhou Cheng: "Huh?"

The tall and thin man: "Did he piss himself?"

Zhang Xuan also listened with a strange expression, though a flicker of bright light began to emerge in his eyes: "Go on!"

Zhou Zeyicheng continued: "I was stunned at the time, too, watching that little doll skip and hop into the coffin, and then the stone door opened!"

"And right in front of me, it climbed back out of the coffin, slipped away, and ran down the stone door in a flash!"

"The little thing looked just like a gourd, chubby and round, completely looking like a child!"

Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, a flash of sudden comprehension crossing his eyes: "Master Third, you really have had some blind luck!"

"This dead end might actually be broken!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a wave of astonished voices came from the other side.

The live stream chat instantly surged with messages!

"Is Brother Xuan really this awesome?"

"You're not bluffing, are you? That's a tomb-guarding beast that's impervious to swords and spears. Can you handle it?"

"Looking forward to Brother Xuan breaking the deadlock!"

Zhou Zeyi's excited voice came through: "Little Brother Zhang really has a way?"

Zhang Xuan nodded. He was not a tomb raider himself, but perhaps due to the Qilin blood flowing in his veins!

This feeling of controlling the situation from behind a screen made his blood boil with excitement!

He said in a deep voice: "Mother-and-child corpse!"

"The mother dies!"

"The mother's resentment would normally be absorbed by the infant!"

"Its level of ferocity far surpasses that of the mother!"

"But that ghost infant bears you no malice!"

"And when it appeared on your nephew just now, it didn't harm him either!"

"This shows that your actions inside the ancient tomb likely won the ghost infant's favor!"

"Right now, the only thing that can help you break this dead end is that ghost infant!"

His words caused another wave of shock on the other end!

Zhou Zeyi's voice carried a hint of bewilderment: "Our actions won its favor?"

"But... we didn't do anything, did we?"

Zhou Cheng's voice also sounded somewhat doubtful: "It does seem like the ghost infant had no intention of harming me. Otherwise, if it was perched on my shoulder and wanted to hurt me, Uncle Tai wouldn't have had the ability to save me at all."

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment: "Although I can't be certain, I think..."

"It must be because you opened the thunder-patterned coffin-locking seal and the sub-demon pestle!"

"That ghost infant was trapped in the coffin for a thousand years, and the mother's body was suppressed by magical artifacts. Even though it is extremely fierce, it is still just a child at heart."

"Perhaps it took you for the ones who rescued them."

"Of course, what that infant is specifically thinking is impossible to know for now."

"In any case, this is a good thing!"

"Besides, that ghost infant should still be nearby!"

The camera shook for a bit, and Zhou Cheng's voice came through: "Where?"

"Why don't I see it?"

Zhang Xuan blinked: "You can't even see your own fingers when the lights are off, and you still want to see the ghost infant? How is that possible!"

Zhou Cheng: "Huh?"

"Then how do you know the ghost infant is still nearby?"

"Could it be possible it was scared off by Uncle Tai?"

Zhang Xuan chuckled instead: "With those two parlor tricks of your Uncle Tai, he's fine against ordinary people, but he's no match for that ghostly entity at all!"

"Why would the ghost infant be afraid of him?"

"And didn't you guys notice?"

"The fox corpse above has already discovered you, and its bronze mask was smashed by Master Third, yet instead of continuing to attack you, it stopped. Isn't that strange?"

Zhou Cheng: "Extremely strange..."

"And from my perspective here, the fox corpse's eyes keep darting left and right, as if it's very nervous..."

Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes, raising his voice a notch: "Then that's it!"

"That fox corpse is wary of the ghost infant!"

"Therefore, the ghost infant must be nearby!"

"Hmm..."

"How about this!"

"Hit its eyes!"

Zhou Cheng's voice sounded astonished: "Huh?"

"Hit whose?"

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly: "The fox corpse, of course!"

"That fox corpse is originally a zombie body, impervious to swords and spears!"

"But that pair of blue fox eyes is its fatal weakness!"

"Isn't Master Third's marksmanship quite accurate? Put two bullets right in its eyes!"

"Remember, you only have one chance!"

"The two shots must be fired in rapid succession!"

Zhou Cheng's voice was tinged with fear: "Huh?"

"Will this work?"

The tall and thin man also chimed in: "Yeah, the risk is too high!"

"What if we fail to kill it? Wouldn't we be dead for sure?"

The chat, practically watching in dumbfounded awe, flooded the screen with 666!

"This streamer is truly an old schemer!"

"The streamer is a master scammer, confirmed!"

Zhang Xuan, however, remained very calm. He popped a grape into his mouth, chewed a few times, and a fiery gleam flashed in the depths of his eyes: "Do you think that after Master Third smashed the fox corpse's bronze mask, the fox corpse would just let you go?"

The other side fell silent at once.

Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, his expression suddenly turning cold: "Master Third!"

"Fire!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Just as his voice fell, two gunshots rang out almost simultaneously!

Practically back-to-back shots!

Even the camera in Zhou Cheng's hand couldn't react in time!

They saw the fox corpse cover its eyes and suddenly crouch down!

"We hit it!"

Inside the ancient tomb, the tall and thin man's excited voice rang out!

A glimmer of hope also ignited in Zhou Cheng's terrified eyes!

Zhou Zeyi held up his handgun, the smell of gunpowder spreading into the surroundings along with the wisps of smoke curling from the muzzle.

He stood like a stone sculpture, his gaze locked dead onto the fox corpse!

Fear and expectation spread through the depths of his eyes!

"Did it really break its vital spot..."

However, his expression changed abruptly the next second.

The tall and thin man and Zhou Cheng also began to back away in a panic.

They saw the blue fur all over the fox corpse stand completely on end...

And grow even thicker!

Even piercing through the clothes it wore.

"Haah!!!"

Suddenly!

The fox corpse abruptly opened its mouth, and a pair of blood-red eyes appeared on its horrifying face, which was now completely covered in fur!

The designer outfit worth hundreds of thousands burst apart instantly!

Revealing a half-human, half-beast torso!

Black mist mixed with mucus spewed out from beneath its sharp fangs!

Even more bizarrely, there was a gaping hole through the fox corpse's chest and back, letting light pass right through it!

Zhang Xuan suddenly narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the wound piercing its chest: "This knife wound... was it done by the same person?"

Inside the ancient tomb, Zhou Cheng screamed in horror: "Its heart is gone and it's still this ferocious!"

"We're totally screwed!"

"Brother Xuan, save me!"

Zhou Cheng lurched backward, crashing into the tall and thin man, who stepped back and accidentally trod on Master Third's foot!

The three of them tumbled to the ground in a row just like falling dominoes!

"Little Brother Zhang..."

"Did I miss?"

Staring at those brutal, cold, and bloodthirsty pupils, Zhou Zeyi's arm holding the gun was trembling uncontrollably.

He even began to doubt his own marksmanship!

On the screen, Zhang Xuan wore a look of feverish, almost frantic excitement: "No!"

"Your aim was very precise!"

"But bullets simply cannot harm its eyes!"

"However, you successfully angered it!"

"Thumbs up to you!"

Zhou Zeyi was struck dumb, snapping out of his daze a beat later: "You... you deliberately had me anger it?"

Zhang Xuan grinned: "That's right!"

Zhou Zeyi's face turned ashen with despair.

Zhou Cheng also stared in disbelief at the excited Zhang Xuan on the screen. At this moment, Zhang Xuan felt so utterly unfamiliar!

"Are tomb raiders really all doomed to die..."

Zhou Cheng muttered to himself.

"Giggle~"

"Giggle~"

"Giggle~"

Right in the midst of his despair!

A series of increasingly urgent sounds came through the phone.

The tall and thin man blurted out: "It's... it's that voice from when it spoke to the corpse!"

Zhou Zeyi also widened his eyes abruptly: "Good god, this fellow... what is he trying to do..."

Zhou Cheng looked at Zhang Xuan, whose throat was bobbing on the screen, his face a mask of utter bewilderment!

"Yi-ya-ya~"

Suddenly, an infant's cry that pierced the vault of the ancient tomb rang out abruptly!

The complexions of all three men changed drastically!
