Chapter 198 There Seems to Be Something in the Soil!
"Hehe, Sheng Zong is young and agile; he can run out in time if anything happens,"
Song Yun said with a smile, "Professor Yan, don\'t you trust me? If anything were to happen to Sheng Zong, I would definitely rescue him immediately!"
"Then why don\'t you go yourself?"

Yu Shengzong asked with an inscrutable expression.
"As guards, our first duty is to ensure Professor Yan\'s safety. Besides, the stone door has closed behind us and it\'s uncertain whether we can return the same way, so that\'s why we\'re relying on you,"
This reasoning was watertight, and nobody could find fault with it.
Yu Shengzong sighed as if resigned to his fate, his legs feigning a tremble as he walked into the darkness.
Soon, his figure was completely swallowed by the darkness, as if he had disappeared from the world.
"Brother, sending a youngster to scout isn\'t your style,"
Ouyang Jie whispered as he stepped forward.
"Just wait for the show,"
Song Yun watched the darkness with a calm gaze, ready for any danger that might come.
"Ah! Help! Someone save me!"
Yu Shengzong\'s faint cries echoed from the darkness. Professor Yan had taken a step forward, eager to help, but he quickly realized that he was the weakest in the group.
"Song boss, aren\'t you going to save him?"
Hearing Professor Yan\'s urgent inquiry, Song Yun looked towards the blackness with a hint of dread in his eyes and held his breath as he pointed ahead.
An ancient corpse, clothed in tattered rags and emaciated, limped out.
"Holy shit! This..."
Ouyang Jie had just started speaking when Song Yun clamped a hand firmly over his mouth.
No one had expected to encounter something out of a novel today, a zongzi!
This wasn\'t something to eat for the Dragon Boat Festival, but an ancient corpse!
At that moment, Professor Yan was also flabbergasted, as his lifelong faith in science collapsed.
"Roar!"
The zongzi continued to claw at its own face and roar angrily at everyone.
Song Yun let out a cold chuckle, slowly drawing a dagger from his waist, ready for battle.
"Die!"
The zongzi\'s voice was extremely hoarse as it closed in, but when it was still a few meters away from Song Yun, it stopped in its tracks.
It was curious why this human in front of it wasn\'t scared, instead, filled with a fighting spirit in his eyes.
"All die!"
"Come on!"
Song Yun gestured with his finger at the zongzi, his body constantly swaying from side to side, looking ready to strike first.
"Invader, leave now and I\'ll spare your life!"
"What a lot of nonsense,"
Song Yun raised his dagger and thrust straight at the ancient corpse, which showed panic in its eyes and turned to run away!
"Come back here!"
How could Song Yun let go of such an opportunity? He grabbed the top of the zongzi\'s head with one hand and kicked its waist, causing the ancient corpse to groan and feel a sense of powerlessness, collapsing to its knees.
"Professor Yan, is this thing interesting enough for your research?"
Song Yun asked disdainfully, stepping on the ancient corpse.
"Enough... enough..."
Everyone had not yet reacted, after all, this was an ancient corpse! It was something that existed only in legends and novels!
Yet, Song Yun had subdued it so easily?
Without needing any magic artifact or donkey hoof?
"Impressive, Brother Song is truly impressive..."
Ouyang Jie muttered, his lips smacking, as he finally understood the gap between him and Song Yun!
That courage alone, he would have to learn for a lifetime!
"Hehe, Professor Yan should let your student explain to you how this \'zongzi\' came to be,"
Song Yun retracted his dagger, gripped the ancient corpse\'s dried outer skin with both hands, and ripped it apart violently, revealing a figure inside.
It was none other than Yu Shengzong!
"How did you discover it was me!"
Yu Shengzong\'s eyes were filled with resentment and confusion, as he found Song Yun to be anything but normal!
"It was you!"
Ouyang Jie gave him a slap on the back of his head, none too pleased. If something like this appeared above ground, it would at most make people think of performance art, but this was underground!
Scaring people could scare someone to death!
"Why would you do this!"
Upon hearing Ouyang Jie\'s question, Yu Shengzong opened his mouth to say, "When I entered earlier, I found no danger, just a coffin inside, and inside the coffin was a leather sack sewn into the shape of a person. Then I remembered the large crate from earlier, so I wanted to scare you away and secretly pilfer a couple of treasures for myself..."
"Greed has clouded your judgment! Do you realize how sensational these cultural relics would be if authenticated, what it could bring to the world of archaeology? And you only thought of yourself, I am so disappointed in you!"
Professor Yan spoke with a mix of anger and pity, "I had always thought you were a good kid, but now I must admit I was mistaken. When you return, take care of your own withdrawal procedures!"
"Slap!"
Song Yun stepped forward and slapped Yu Shengzong across the face, grabbing his chin coldly as he said, "Tell the truth!"
"I am telling the truth!"
"Hehe, don\'t you think the excuse you found was too convenient? Is that a reaction a student could come up with on the spot?"
Song Yun said coldly, "Who is the person behind you?"
"I don\'t know what you\'re talking about! If you think I\'ve violated the law, you can take me to the Public Security Bureau, but you certainly do not have the right to carry out vigilante justice!"
"No worries, I\'ll ask slowly once we get back up."
Song Yun delivered a karate chop straight to the other\'s neck.
Yu Shengzong\'s eyes rolled back as he collapsed to the ground.
"Song Yun, could he be a spy sent by a foreign agency?"
Ouyang Jie asked in a grave voice, because if that were the case, every person involved in the excavation work would have to undergo a thorough investigation!
"I don\'t know, let\'s discuss these issues once we\'re back on the surface. Let\'s continue onwards."
At this moment, Song Yun was undoubtedly the most authoritative person in the team, and no one questioned any decision he made.
Passing through the pitch-black passage, what appeared before everyone was a tomb chamber measuring four to five hundred square meters.
Within it was a sealed stone hut, an ordinary coffin, and a machine gun placed in the corner.
The danger Song Yun had sensed earlier probably originated from here.
"Someone has already been here, should we still open the coffin?"
"Even if there is a glimmer of hope, we must open it!"
Professor Yan\'s eyes showed a hint of worry, fearing that they would return empty-handed today.
Song Yun stepped forward and lifted the coffin lid, which was empty inside.
"Sigh... just as I thought..."
Professor Yan let out a deep sigh, all the preparations, all the risks, at this moment, all came to naught.
Song Yun activated his Perspective Eyes, continuously observing the surroundings. The house had been built decades ago, the coffin was from a few years back, wait, there seemed to be something in the soil!
