"No, that's unnecessary, isn't it? I don't want to become an immortal; I'm fine as an ordinary person."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan immediately refused. He knew that Uncle Zhao and the others intended for him to be the guinea pig and to test the ash, so he retreated in fear.
However, it seemed that no one cared about Jiang Yan's refusal. Zhao Shu's two men had already come over to restrain Jiang Yan when Zhao Shu made the suggestion.
"Just behave yourself!"
Yue Jiu Nian saw Jiang Yan being bullied again and couldn't stand it anymore. But just as she was about to help Jiang Yan, she suddenly noticed that Uncle Zhao's body was suddenly filled with a lot of death energy!
When she saw the change in Uncle Zhao, she hurriedly went to look at Lao Hei and Lao Wu, and found that they also had a lot of death energy on them. However, Jiang Yan, who originally had death energy, no longer had any death energy at all!
"Hey, look at this, what the hell is going on?"
Seeing this change, Yue Jiu Nian gave up on rescuing Jiang Yan and instead turned to chat with Yue Jiu Zai and Yue Jiu Jie: "Isn't this change a little too fast?"
Yue Jiuzai also noticed the problem. She smiled and said, "You're asking me? How would I know?"
Yue Jiujie had only just come out and reunited with them, so she didn't know much. Hearing Yue Jiunian and Yue Jiuzai speaking in a way that sounded like they were communicating in sign language, she asked in confusion, "Hey, what are you two talking about? Is there some little secret?"
Yue Jiu Nian knew that Yue Jiu Jie was also a gossip, but she didn't explain it to him. Instead, she said, "You'll find out when you see it later."
While they were talking, Jiang Yan had already been held down by the two men, and Uncle Zhao grabbed a handful of ash from the cauldron, preparing to pry open Jiang Yan's mouth and stuff the ash into his mouth.
Jiang Yan naturally didn't want to eat the ash. Who knew what it was made of? So he struggled incessantly. When Uncle Zhao saw how hard he was struggling, he cursed viciously, "Damn it, eat it if you don't want to die!"
Just as the ash was about to be stuffed into his mouth, Jiang Yan closed his eyes as if in despair. But just when everyone thought he was going to give up, Jiang Yan suddenly rammed forward and smashed the ash that Uncle Zhao was holding in his hand with his head!
The ashes were scattered throughout the tomb, but somehow, a cold wind suddenly blew through the tomb, carrying all the ashes towards the box.
"You son of a bitch! You're asking for it!"
After Jiang Yan scattered all the ashes, Uncle Zhao was so angry that he slapped Jiang Yan across the face and cursed, "It seems you really don't want to live anymore! These ashes are very likely the result of the elixir, and you actually wasted so much of them!"
Uncle Zhao was furious because the ashes had been scattered, so he vented his anger on Jiang Yan, and his men immediately grabbed Jiang Yan and beat him up.
While Jiang Yan was being beaten, Yue Jiu Nian didn't pay attention to him. Her attention was completely focused on the last box, not on Jiang Yan and the others.
The last box originally contained a box of dead objects, but just now, when a gust of cold wind blew and blew the dust onto those dead objects, Yue Jiu Nian actually sensed a trace of life there!
"Holy crap, they couldn't possibly be...!"
Yue Jiu Nian reached out and tugged at Yue Jiu Zai's clothes, saying, "I think I roughly understand what that deathly aura is all about~"
Yue Jiuzhai hadn't noticed the box at first; her attention was focused on Jiang Yan's face because she wanted to know the truth. However, after Yue Jiunian said those words, she turned around and looked at the box, and instantly understood.
"Alright, even though we didn't get any treasures this time, at least we didn't leave empty-handed."
When Jiang Yan was being beaten, Lao Hei and Lao Wu walked over to the cauldron. They both looked hesitant, as if they were considering whether to try the ashes themselves.
However, before they could decide whether or not to try the food, they suddenly discovered something strange inside the tomb.
All they saw was that many small animals, such as venomous snakes and insects, had suddenly appeared in the tomb chamber.
"My God, what kind of snakes are these? Why is this happening?"
Upon seeing the poisonous creature that had suddenly appeared in the tomb, the two men who had been attacking Jiang Yan immediately stopped paying attention to him and returned to Uncle Zhao's side.
However, before the two of them could return to Uncle Zhao's side, they saw a large poisonous scorpion jump onto Uncle Zhao's body, and there was even a large human face pattern on the back of the scorpion!
"Ah! Help me!"
Uncle Zhao saw something jump onto him and immediately waved his hand to shoo it away. However, this scorpion was no ordinary scorpion, so when Uncle Zhao reached out his hand, it immediately used its tail to sting him!
Old Hei and Old Wu had been near the cauldron the whole time. They also discovered the poisonous creatures in the tomb chamber and noticed that there were more and more of them. They hurriedly went to find out the reason and finally found that the source of the poisonous creatures was actually on the other side of the box!
"The box, it came from the box's side!"
Old Wu noticed something was wrong with the box, so he went to check it out, and what he saw there terrified him!
He saw that the poisonous creatures that were originally dead inside the box had come back to life and were crawling out one by one, heading in their direction. Meanwhile, Yue Jiu Nian and the others who were originally standing by the box walked to Jiang Yan's side.
