Chapter 629: The Secret in the Copper Box, Turning Enemies into Friends
Chapter 629: The Secret in the Copper Box, Turning Enemies into Friends
Just as Ye Bai's hand was about to touch the bronze box, the female general suddenly pressed the tip of her sword against his back: "Do you really want to take it?"
"Two million people are watching."
Ye Bai flicked the sword with his fingertips and smiled cunningly.
"How about you give me a way out?"
The sigh beneath the visor dissipated in the cold wind, and the tip of the sword suddenly turned and pierced the bronze box.
Fluorescent green liquid gushed out, corroding the jade seal with a sizzling sound.
Screams echoed in the live broadcast room, but only Old Qin stared at the rapidly carbonizing jade seal and muttered, "Fake... The real talisman is that bronze box!"
Ye Bai looked up at the sky, then looked down at the copper box on the ground, his brows gradually furrowed: "It doesn't make sense..."
The live broadcast room exploded: "What's going on?"
“Is the anchor talking about himself?”
"Damn, is the anchor the treasure?"
"Stop making trouble, please..."
Ye Bai ignored the live broadcast room and continued to stare at the bronze box in thought.
After a moment, he suddenly took out a few pieces of talisman paper from his bag and stuck them on the bronze box.
"What are you doing?"
Ye Bai answered while busying himself: "Drawing talismans."
The female general asked in confusion, "What symbol do you want to draw?"
"Suppress ghosts."
Ye Bai explained: "There is an evil spirit in the copper box."
Hearing this, the female general's expression suddenly changed.
She suppressed her murderous intent and asked in a deep voice, "Do you need help?"
"Being not."
Ye Bai took out cinnabar and ink, wet them and wrote quickly on the paper, finally drawing a sealing talisman.
The female general stood opposite Ye Bai and looked at him intently, as if she wanted to see clearly what else this man knew.
Ye Bai put down the cinnabar pen, walked closer to the copper box, opened the lid, and reached out to touch one of the green bricks.
"boom--"
The stone door suddenly closed and the screen went black in an instant, leaving Ye Bai and his group trapped in the stone chamber.
Everyone was shocked.
"What happened?"
“Why is it turned off?”
"We can't see outside, what should we do?"
"It's over now!"
The live broadcast room was flooded with comments and became a mess.
Old Qin frowned and glanced at the watch on his wrist: "Ten minutes have passed. Why is there no response from this mausoleum? Could it be..."
He speculated: "Could it be that the host's guess is correct? The so-called treasure is this mausoleum. It is a mechanism."
Everyone agreed with the comments: "That makes sense! Otherwise, why would it suddenly malfunction?"
"So what do we do now?"
Everyone looked worried and at a loss.
Ye Bai glanced around and suddenly noticed a portrait hanging on the wall. His eyes lit up slightly: "Got it!"
Everyone followed his gaze and saw a picture of a lady.
The ladies in the paintings are in their prime, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with dignified and elegant demeanor, and they look exactly like the ancient women in the coffins.
Ye Bai walked forward, reached out and touched the lady's skirt, embroidered shoes and belt, muttering to himself: "As expected..."
The audience in the live broadcast room was confused and asked, "Master Qin, what are you talking about?"
Qin Lao's comment circled the hem of the lady's skirt: "There are dark patterns here, exactly the same as the dark patterns on the bronze box!"
"Dark pattern..."
Everyone looked carefully for a while and indeed found a few faint lines here.
But because it is too small, it is difficult to notice unless you specialize in ancient clothing.
Old Qin was extremely excited: "If I'm not mistaken, this is the core of the formation of the entire mausoleum!"
"According to custom, a key is placed next to each corpse."
"But due to some special reason, the key was destroyed, and the formation can no longer operate."
"So I suspect that the key doesn't exist at all!"
Ye Bai walked to the front of the scroll, looked up at the woman in the painting, suddenly curled his lips into a smile, and raised his hand.
"Boom!"
A huge noise suddenly rang out, as if the sky was falling, and the entire mausoleum shook violently.
"what happened?"
"earthquake?"
Everyone's face turned pale and they were in a panic.
Ye Bai formed seals with his hands, chanted a spell, and uttered three words: "Break!"
In an instant, the lady in the scroll suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils dark and deep.
"Om~"
A strange power overflowed from the lady's eyes.
Qin Lao's expression changed drastically: "Not good! The formation has been activated!"
The fans in the live broadcast room were scared to death.
"What the hell! Is this thing alive?"
"Oh my god, my legs are weak, what the hell is this?!"
"Hurry up and run! This thing is too scary!"
"Anchor, you're dead. You definitely can't escape!"
Qin Lao's face turned pale, with cold sweat on his forehead. He kept shouting, "Hurry up, hurry up, leave the stone chamber, evacuate immediately!"
Ye Bai did not retreat but advanced, walking towards the lady: "Since I am here, I will make the best of it."
Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that he would dare to walk towards the terrifying lady.
"Anchor, be careful!"
"Holy crap! Are you crazy?"
"This woman looks so ugly, don't you dislike her?!"
"What the hell, host? What the hell is this!"
Qin Lao said anxiously: "Don't worry about these, the most important thing is to escape first!"
Ye Bai walked up to the lady, stopped and remained silent.
The lady slowly raised her left hand.
In an instant, a strong gust of wind hit.
Everyone felt a pain as if their eardrums were torn, and they squatted down with their hands covering their heads, their faces full of pain.
Ye Bai was as steady as a rock, neither dodging nor avoiding.
"boom!"
The air wave hit his chest, lifting his thick vest and revealing his strong and muscular body.
Ye Bai's sternum was slightly red, but he was not injured.
“You…” Old Qin’s eyes widened: “How come you’re okay?!”
Ye Bai raised his right hand, pointed at the lady's eyebrows, and slowly uttered two words: "Soul returns to its place."
The lady's eyes trembled a few times, her pupils dilated, and finally turned into ashes and fell to the ground.
Ye Bai retracted his hand: "It's solved."
There was confusion in the live broadcast room.
Oh shit, this is solved?
Ye Bai walked out of the stone chamber and looked at everyone: "I already know how to break the formation, and I will be able to lead you out later."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they were overjoyed and bowed to express their gratitude.
“Thanks to the anchor!”
"Thanks to the host! We will never forget your life-saving grace!"
"The anchor played a vital role in our escape tonight!"
"Who is this person? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"You're a new fan, the host is my idol!"
"The host is awesome! What was that move just now called? 'Breaking Formation Technique' or something?"
"I don't know him, he looks so impressive!"
Ye Bai glanced at the screen and said calmly, "Oh, it's called 'Breaking Formation Technique'."
Everyone: "..."
Ye Bai began to look for an exit in every corner of the secret room, but found nothing.
"How could this happen?" someone asked in confusion.
"I just saw the mechanism clearly."
"Maybe... the mechanism is not here?" another person suggested.
Ye Bai shook his head and said, "There is definitely an exit, we just don't know it."
"What should I do?"
Ye Bai looked around and looked at the tightly closed iron door: "Let's give it a try."
He raised his stone sword and chopped it down, but it left no mark.
The stone gate was intact.
