Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

”Where are the gold and silver treasures?”

”Where is the ultimate I wanted? Where is the immortality?”

”Damn it!”

”...”

Third Master Xie’s eyes quickly turned blood-red, and he became exasperated looking at the contents of the coffin.

He cursed loudly.

Wu Tian frowned.

Seeing that there was no danger, he walked directly toward the coffin.

Seeing Wu Tian move.

They didn’t dare fall behind and followed Wu Tian’s lead toward the coffin.

”...”

When he reached the coffin, Wu Tian looked down.

He discovered that the coffin only contained a white porcelain bottle and a yellowed scroll.

Wu Tian was taken aback.

Then, amidst Third Master Xie’s broken mumblings, he reached out and took the yellowed scroll.

He handed it to Zhang Meng beside him.

He said with a smile.

”Here!”

”Expert, it’s time for your work again!”

”Take a look and see what’s written in here!”

”...”

Zhang Meng nodded, took the yellowed scroll from Wu Tian, then carefully unfurled it and began to decipher the contents.

”...”

”It says here...”

”This is the tomb of a Sorcerer named Chunyu Yue from the Qin Dynasty. He loved alchemy and, with the help of a mysterious family, actually refined five Elixirs of Immortality, which are kept in this white porcelain bottle.”

”But two of them were eaten by one of Qin Shi Huang’s concubines; her name was Yushu!”

”Another was eaten by a eunuch named Zhao Gao!”

”And another was eaten by a general named Meng Yi!”

”There are two left...”

”Both are in this bottle!”

”...”

After hearing Zhang Meng’s translation.

Everyone was stunned.

”No...”

”Is that it?”

”That... that’s it!”

Zhang Meng glanced at everyone and nodded.

”Sigh...”

Wu Xie was filled with disappointment.

”After all that hard work, this is what we found? The ultimate... what on earth are you?”

”...”

”Everything is for naught!”

Huo Nanfeng’s eyes glazed over.

”This isn’t the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West, nor is it Wang Zanghai’s tomb. It’s just a Sorcerer’s tomb. Even if there are Elixirs of Immortality inside, what’s the use?”

”It’s too late!”

”Too late!”

”...”

”Immortality?”

Zhao Wu and Chen Jie exchanged a glance, both seeing greed in each other’s eyes.

”Immortality?”

”Who wouldn’t want that?”

However, just as greed arose in their hearts, Third Master Xie, who had been guarding the coffin, suddenly acted!

*Swish!*

A hand flashed out and grabbed the white porcelain bottle from the coffin!

He raised his hand and pulled out the stopper.

*Pop~*

A rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire space.

”Hahaha...”

”Immortality?”

”The immortality I’ve dreamed of... you’re finally here!”

”Hahaha!”

Third Master Xie didn’t hesitate any longer. He poured a pitch-black pill from the bottle and swallowed it without a second thought!

*Gulp!*

The pill was swallowed down with Third Master Xie’s saliva.

Third Master Xie burst into loud laughter.

But the others didn’t move. They watched the laughing Third Master Xie indifferently, treating him like a guinea pig.

One minute passed!

Five minutes passed... ten minutes!

Just as the light in everyone’s eyes began to burn with eagerness again.

”Ah!”

”My eyes!”

”My arms!”

”My head...”

”What’s happening?”

”What on earth is going on?”

”Ah!”

Suddenly, Third Master Xie’s screams rang out through the burial chamber!

The intense pain made Third Master Xie roll around on the ground.

He screamed in agony!

Blood poured from his seven orifices, and his right leg and left arm twisted and snapped violently!

The ear-piercing sound of bones shattering rang out!

Everyone was shocked.

The greed in their hearts for that white porcelain bottle gradually faded.

Wu Tian frowned.

He reached out and snatched the white porcelain bottle from Third Master Xie’s hand, lest he break it while rolling on the floor and lose the very last Elixir of Immortality!

”...”

”Ah!”

”It hurts!”

”It’s killing me!”

”Save me!”

”No... kill me... just kill me!”

”The pain!”

”...”

Third Master Xie’s screams lasted for half an hour. By the time he finally stopped and curled up motionless on the ground... he was at death’s door!

Although everyone could clearly see that his previously wrinkled skin had regained its vitality and his gray hair had turned black in just half an hour.

It seemed his lifespan and vitality had been greatly replenished!

But... every gain comes with a loss!

Third Master Xie had gained eternal life, but what he lost... was the integrity of his body!

Looking down at Third Master Xie, Wu Tian opened his mouth to speak.

Suddenly!

The system’s voice rang in Wu Tian’s mind.

[Issuing the ultimate Test!]
