When the three of them reached the top of the mountain, they immediately felt the warm sunlight on their faces, which lifted Chen Ze and the others' spirits.

"The plants here are so strange!" Yao Xin said, looking at the dense plants in front of her.

I saw that both sides of the valley were covered with various trees, weeds and some exotic flowers. These plants had beautiful colors, including red, blue, purple, and some strange shapes.

Chen Ze has no research on plants, but looking at the leaves and fruits of these plants, he estimates that they are rich in protein and vitamin C, which can strengthen the body if eaten.

Not only that, the water here is also exceptionally sweet, and it would be very comfortable to drink.

"Huh~" Chen Ze suddenly smelled a burnt aroma.

Chen Ze looked up and saw a bonfire not far away.

"Is there someone?" Yao Xin also noticed it.

"Let's go and take a look!" Chen Ze took the two women and walked towards that place.

After Chen Ze and the other two walked for a distance, they saw a man sitting by a campfire with his back to them, roasting something not far away.

Chen Ze took a closer look and found that it was actually the corpse of the native.

"Hey! Are you still alive?" Zhang Qiling suddenly shouted.

The man turned his head sharply.

"Ah! Ghost!" Zhang Qiling was so scared that he peed his pants.

Because this man actually has two faces, one male and one female.

"Haha, silly child, this is not a ghost? It's clearly a zombie!" Chen Ze laughed.

"Ah!" Chen Wenjin was also very scared. Although she was quite brave, she did not expect to encounter a zombie.

"Teacher!" Zhang Qiling looked at Chen Ze with a sad face. This scene was too horrifying. Zhang Qiling felt that his three views were greatly challenged.

"Haha, it's okay. This is not a ghost. This is the Taoist priest I hired to help us find the treasure. Don't be afraid, you two. This zombie is fake!" Chen Ze touched Zhang Qiling's head and comforted him.

"Yes, teacher, I'm not afraid!" Zhang Qiling returned to normal. He was very thick-skinned and he was fine after being scared for a while.

"Little brother, thank you for saving us!" The male zombie spoke, his voice was deep, like ice that had not melted for thousands of years.

This was the second time Chen Ze saw a zombie talking. The last time was in the haunted house in the amusement park, and this time was on this deserted island. Chen Ze felt that this zombie was not simple.

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor!" Chen Ze said with a smile.

"Young man, are you a Taoist priest?" the zombie asked doubtfully.

"I'm not a Taoist priest. I just know a little bit. I don't dare to call myself a Taoist priest. I prefer people to call me a charlatan!" Chen Ze explained.

"Then how did you get into the castle?" the zombie asked curiously.

"My friend can use talismans, so we used the talisman to break the stone door and entered the castle. I didn't expect that there would be someone like you here." Chen Ze said.

In fact, Chen Ze had long guessed that there might be zombies in the mountain. After all, the environment here was similar to the zombie stories Chen Ze had read on the Internet, so Chen Ze did not doubt it.

However, Chen Ze did not expect that zombies actually existed. This made Chen Ze feel that the online stories he had read before might not be fictional.

"So that's how it is. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get out, but I didn't expect you to really come out. But you are lucky to meet me!" said the zombie.

"Who are you then? How did you get out?" Chen Ze asked. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Li Yuanhao, and I am an archaeologist. The reason I practice here is because of this tomb. I once dug out something from here and used it to benefit archaeologists across the country. But these treasures were eventually destroyed in my hands, and I feel deeply guilty...
So, I decided to stay here and keep the secrets here, sealing it forever in the dust of history so that it won’t be discovered by future generations. This can be considered as a legacy I leave to future generations. Unfortunately, it is still destroyed. "Li Yuanhao sighed.

"Then how do you know we came out of the mausoleum? I see there seems to be no one else here except you!" Chen Ze pointed at the charred skeleton on the cliff and said to Li Yuanhao.

"Look, isn't that skeleton exactly the same as you?" Li Yuanhao pointed at the skeleton and said to Chen Ze.

"It does look a lot like us. What's going on?" Yao Xin also noticed it.

"I just discovered that the skeleton should be a burial object that I dug out that year. I didn't expect to encounter a human being!" Li Yuanhao explained.

"What kind of tomb is this?" Chen Wenjin interrupted.

"This is the tomb of a king, a prince or a general. A king is buried here!" said Li Yuanhao.

Hearing Li Yuanhao's words, Chen Ze and the other two were shocked.

"The tomb of kings, princes, generals and ministers? Then why are you still here?" Chen Ze asked. Chen Ze couldn't understand why Li Yuanhao hadn't left yet.

"I am a hero of my generation, and I died for a good cause. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway," Li Yuanhao insisted.

"Then can we take the corpse away?" Chen Ze said.

"Do you want to exchange that body for gold, silver and jewelry?" Li Yuanhao frowned.

"Don't worry, we are definitely not the kind of people who are greedy for money and property!" Chen Ze explained.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to do something that will shock the world!" Chen Ze said seriously.

"What do you want to do?"

"Dig out the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and then I'll leave." Chen Ze said.

Chen Ze originally couldn't understand why Li Yuanhao was still here and didn't want to leave, but after hearing the conversation between Li Yuanhao and his daughter just now, Chen Ze had this idea.

The space in this valley is very small, and there is basically nothing valuable except a few piles of dead branches and leaves.

This also led Chen Ze to think that the treasure here should have been dug up.

"You want to dig up the tomb here? Are you crazy? This is a tomb!" Li Yuanhao shouted angrily.

"Didn't you say you were an archaeologist? Can't you even see these?" Chen Ze was also angry.

"Hmph, I just didn't discover the core of the tomb. This is not the tomb of any king or prince. What I discovered was just a fake tomb!" Li Yuanhao snorted coldly.

"You're talking nonsense, my mother told me that the coffin was made of wood, not iron!" Yao Xin argued.

"Haha!" Li Yuanhao sneered, "Stupid! That tomb is made of metal. Your mother just lied to you!"

Chen Ze, Zhang Qiling and Chen Wenjin looked at each other. This news was really shocking.

"Why do you think my mother lied to you? My father is a member of the scientific expedition team. He knows more about what you are talking about than you do!" Yao Xin said dissatisfiedly.

"Your mother is right. I know that. I also went to your mother's wedding with you before. But your father had already died at that time, and your mother was an independent individual. She didn't need to report her itinerary to anyone, so we didn't know about these things." Chen Ze added.

Li Yuanhao was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the group of people in front of him had the same experience as him. His mood suddenly became heavy. (End of this chapter)
