"What is this?"
Zhang Tian's gaze fell on the map in Professor Li's hand.
"This is a map we bought from a stall owner in Bei Li."
"It's precisely because of this map that we came to Nanyun for archaeological excavation," Professor Li explained.
"May I see it?" Zhang Tian asked softly.
Professor Li nodded and handed the map over without hesitation.
Zhang Tian looked at the map, which clearly marked the route to the tomb.
And the location of the tomb.
However, the route through the virgin forest was a bit intriguing.
After thousands of years, the route on the map had likely changed long ago.
The route through the virgin forest was from a thousand years ago, so the path should have been altered.
If someone were to follow this route again, the chance of death would be very high.
His gaze shifted to their current location.
Zhang Tian realized that this spot was marked on the map as the only way to enter the tomb.
"Here, this map's credibility is not high." Zhang Tian returned the map.
Professor Li and the others were quite daring to use something of unknown origin, which was quite remarkable.
Professor Li took the map and said nothing more, just holding it in his hand.
The group walked along the narrow path, moving slowly.
Especially the dozens of meters of cliff below and the unknown poisonous insects in the water, made Xiao Guang and the others realize that the chance of survival if they fell was very small.
"Damn, who designed this narrow path? It's suffocating me."
"This fatty can endure hardship, but you can't squeeze my little body!" Fatty complained about the narrow cliff path.
His figure was somewhat plump, and the path made him very uncomfortable.
However, Fatty was an agile胖子 after all. Despite his complaints, his speed did not slow down at all.
As they walked, the group observed the surrounding terrain.
"By the way, Boss, why do you think the monsters we encountered before could survive for so long? Are they immortal?" Fatty asked.
The question of immortality had always been a hidden mystery in people's hearts.
Zhang Tian shook his head.
"I'm not sure either. I'm not a biologist, so I don't know much about these things. However, I can say for sure that such creatures should have their own survival mechanisms within them."
As Zhang Tian spoke, Fatty turned his gaze to Shirley Yang.
"Beautiful Yang, tell us, this thing is quite strange," Fatty asked Shirley Yang.
His eyes were full of curiosity.
Shirley Yang frowned slightly.
After a moment, she seemed to recall something and then spoke.
"These creatures might be the legendary Hydra undying worms."
"The reason why these creatures are called undying worms might be because they have wheel-shaped nerve tissue within their bodies," Shirley Yang explained.
The group was also somewhat confused.
Especially Zhang Tian, his eyebrows raised. What was this tissue?
Zhang Tian had not studied biology, especially such profound knowledge.
The group turned their gazes to Shirley Yang.
"Miss Yang, I didn't expect you to have some research in biology?" Professor Li was somewhat surprised.
Shirley Yang shook her head.
"I have researched some biological knowledge for the sake of archaeology," Shirley Yang said, and then continued.
"The wheel-shaped nerve tissue is called immortal nerve because the creature's body and nerves are separated."
"When the body tissue decays, the wheel-shaped nerves will continue to survive, which allows these creatures to live for a very long time," Shirley Yang explained.
Fatty's eyes lit up.
"Hey, if I inject my body with this nerve tissue, can I achieve immortality?" Fatty asked curiously.
"Theoretically, it's possible, but you will become an undead person," Shirley Yang replied.
Zhang Tian thought of the zombies in his previous life.
"Don't take it. Taking this kind of thing out will not benefit humanity at all," Professor Li directly rejected the idea.
He saw things clearly.
Excessive technological research would only accelerate their demise.
At the scene at this moment.
[Holy cow, elixir of life?]
[This kind of thing can separate your body and nerves, and maybe your consciousness won't be your own either. What's the difference between you and a zombie then.]
[Oh my, it's fortunate that Zhang Tian didn't bring this thing out at that time, it's quite dangerous.]
[So, there are so many dangerous things in Xia Guo. We need to be more careful in the future.]
At the scene, countless people were discussing.
At this moment, biologists all over the world were in an uproar.
When they learned that it could change the world, they all began to conduct more extensive research on this immortal nerve.
Especially in the United States, which has the world's top biological talent.
The flu that shocked the world years ago was created by them.
It was to make money from the pharmaceutical industry, and how could they not pay attention to the appearance of this immortal organization?
Inside the Shield Biological Research Institute in the United States.
"I heard that immortal tissue was discovered in Xia Guo?" an old man asked.
"Yes, but it was a hundred years ago, unfortunately."
"However, the traces of legendary vampires have appeared in various places in our country. Should we focus on researching the origin of these creatures?" a middle-aged man said.
The old man nodded slightly.
"If it is truly discovered, we must collect blood samples. This will greatly promote human immortality."
In the research institute, several people began to research the vampire organizations that had emerged in the United States.
Since the appearance of Taoism and Taoist arts in Xia Guo, all sorts of strange things had appeared in the world.
Clearly, times had changed.
At this moment, in the picture, as Shirley Yang explained, everyone understood a lot.
"So, this means that these creatures were buried in this place due to the volcanic eruption, and combined with the atmospheric environment inside the cave, this allowed these creatures to survive to this day?"
"This is too bizarre." Fatty murmured.
Hu Bayi remained silent, constantly looking at his compass.
"Boss, I think we've reached our destination," Hu Bayi said as he walked ahead.
"We're here?" Zhang Tian's eyes lit up.
Hu Bayi looked towards the corner not far away.
"It should be over there."
As Hu Bayi's words fell, everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace.
Upon reaching the corner, they were immediately stunned by the scene before them.
They saw a magnificent palace situated between the cliff walls.
Professor Li and Xiao Guang's mouths also widened involuntarily.
