Chapter 32 The Ghost Eye, the Serpent God's Gift

"Old Hu and Fatty's voices!"

Yang Xueli straightened up and tried to get up, but then sat back down.

Cheng Feng used Zhanlu to lean against the coffin to stand up, and then helped Yang Xueli up.

"Not just the two of them, Professor Chen and the rest of the group came in too!"

Cheng Feng has better hearing and can discern the exact number of people from the faint footsteps.

"We're up there, there are stone steps next to us, be careful!"

Hu Bayi and the others heard Cheng Feng's voice, responded, and then led Professor Chen and the others up the stone steps.

Their team has both old and young members, so they can't go fast.

It took almost half an hour to climb to the height where the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue was located.

Cheng Feng and Yang Xueli were already waiting there. Cheng Feng even kindly helped the fat man up, otherwise he would have almost collapsed.

"My goodness, this awful road is so hard to walk on!"

Fatty Wang slumped on the platform, his face still covered in cold sweat, looking like he was still shaken.

"Fatty, I think you have acrophobia."

Ye Yixin, one of the girls in the group, only seemed slightly out of breath.

These words dealt a huge blow to Fatty Wang, to the point that he panicked.

"Nonsense, I'm afraid of heights? What a joke! I was among the first to go down the Kunlun Glacier!"

Old Hu was helping Professor Chen walk over at that moment.

They were relieved to see that the two were only slightly listless but still in good condition.

"We were all really worried about you two since you left, so we came looking for you!"

Before the two could say anything, Hu Bayi spoke up to explain.

Cheng Feng shook his head and sighed. This was fate. The moment they saw the Ghost Cave, the curse was already following them like a shadow.

However, Yang Xueli has already told them, so they must have been mentally prepared.

"That's the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue. It used to be infested with Corpse-Scented Devil Flowers, which Sherry and I got rid of."

There shouldn't be any danger now, Professor Chen, you can go and check on them."

After saying that, Cheng Feng picked up his backpack, took out a pack of unopened cigarettes, and sat down in a relaxed manner.

"Corpse-scented Devil's Tongue? No wonder Xiao Feng said he would have hallucinations here, so that's why."

Professor Chen nodded knowingly.

Hao Aiguo was staring intently at the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue in the distance, then said in a hurried tone:

"Teacher, look at that coffin. I think it might be the legendary Jianmu tree!"

"It does look somewhat similar. Come on, let's take a closer look!"

After saying that, the master and apprentice led the way to the platform that was a few meters wide.

Hu Bayi followed, partly to protect the two professors, and partly because he was curious about the Queen of Jingjue.

Fatty Wang, however, was completely deflated and dared not utter a sound. Putting him on this kind of platform was no different from taking his life.

"Fatty, you'll be a millionaire when you get back this time. What are your plans?"

Cheng Feng casually handed Wang Pangzi a cigarette.

"We'll see when the time comes. Maybe I'll open a shop and sell antiques or something. I have a friend who does that."

Fatty Wang took a drag of his cigarette, and his condition visibly improved.

"The friend you're talking about is Big Gold Tooth, right?"

Cheng Feng laughed.

"How did you know? Do you know that guy with the gold teeth?"

"We're old acquaintances, I suppose. His father was a good friend of my grandfather's. Isn't it through him that you got into the archaeological team?"

The system provided this information in the fabricated identity, since they were all in the capital and their circles overlapped, which is normal.

After chatting with the fat man for a while, Cheng Feng noticed that Yang Xueli hadn't said a word and looked somewhat lost.

Cheng Feng raised his hand and patted Yang Xueli's shoulder, saying worriedly:

"Why do you seem so distracted? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yang Xueli came to her senses and said with a frown:

“I have a strange feeling, like something is calling to me.”

Cheng Feng thought for a moment and roughly guessed the reason, then said:

“This place was once the ancestral home of your Zaglama tribe. Perhaps your ancestors left some kind of backup plan.”

Shirley Yang: "I want to go look for it."

Cheng Feng did not refuse: "Let's go together after Professor Chen and the others finish their research."

Yang Xueli nodded, then naturally leaned against Cheng Feng and began to rest.

“A rare treasure, truly a rare treasure! Di Peng and Chu Jian, we must take a picture of this.”

Hao Aiguo's voice trembled slightly, which showed how excited he was.

Professor Chen, with a smile on his face, explained the information about the Ghost Cave Clan to Hu Bayi.

Then the conversation turned to the queen's attire and the influence of the Silk Road on the Western Regions.

Cheng Feng looked at them and thought: What would the atmosphere be like if he weren't there?

At this moment, he suddenly felt his vision becoming somewhat blurry, which startled Cheng Feng.

I blinked a few times unconsciously, trying to see what was in front of me clearly.

But soon they were plunged into complete darkness.

Cheng Feng possessed strong mental fortitude and had ample confidence in the Yan Emperor bloodline rewarded by the system, so he remained calm.

Neither the fat man nor Yang Xueli noticed Cheng Feng's unusual behavior.

One of them was looking at Hu Bayi and Professor Chen, while the other was in a daze, overwhelmed by a strange sense of being summoned.

"Damn it, what's going on? How could I, a descendant of Emperor Yan, be poisoned?"

Cheng Feng had some doubts, but they were quickly dismissed.

If even the bloodline of Shennong can be poisoned, then what was the point of our ancestors tasting all the herbs back then?

Just as Cheng Feng was about to try applying his all-powerful blood to his eyes, a lot of information suddenly flooded his mind.

When Cheng Feng received this sudden information, his mindset gradually calmed down.

"Unexpectedly, by some twist of fate, I have actually gained some benefits. This time, the harvest may be enormous."

It turned out that just now, when the power of bloodline was fighting against the remnant divine power of the serpent god,

In order to escape being wiped out by bloodline, a portion of the serpent god's energy actively merged into Cheng Feng's eyes.

After a period of preparation, Cheng Feng's eyes transformed into the same ghost eyes as the Queen of Jingjue.

It can be said that this was a gift from the remains of the serpent god, and it had no effect on his own bloodline.

The recent blindness was a sign that the Ghost Eye was about to awaken.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Feng heard Professor Chen and his group's footsteps and the sounds of their discussions getting closer and closer.

Feeling as if his eyesight had returned, Cheng Feng tried to open them.

For a fleeting moment, his eyes turned a deep, dark black.

Almost instinctively, Cheng Feng instantly mastered the ability to freely control the Ghost Eye.

It has several abilities. First, it can summon and control the Pure Vision Agama, and it will become a noble dharma master in the future.

Cheng Feng felt that Ghost Eye's first ability was very useful, but the surprises were yet to come.

The second ability is the signature of the Queen of Jingjue, which allows her to throw anything into the imaginary space.
