    Reader note

    🔍[The rusty and pungent life-and-death situation in "The Golden Master"]💀 "The earthy smell on your body is the stink of moss soaked in corpse water!" In the basement of a hospital in Taiyuan late at night, disinfectant water and the smell of rotten soil formed a deadly vortex. The tomb robber from Shaanxi looked around and saw bronze rust-colored mucus oozing from his brother's festering wound - the Western Zhou bird statue covered with gluttonous inscriptions three days ago actually let out a dragon roar when the tomb passage collapsed! 🏥When I broke into the "Director of Orthopedics" using a bone drill to disassemble the thousand-year-old artifact, the alarm suddenly sounded. Three gas-masked men wearing blood-red goggles broke into the door. The Luoyang shovels in their hands were still dripping with fresh tomb mud... It turned out that the cinnabar burial scriptures in the bronze interlayer had already made the three factions jealous of the gold captain! ⚠️Warning: Please turn on the light when reading! When the scalpel becomes a tool for digging graves, when the X-ray film reveals the twenty-eight constellations of stars, the cursed dragon coffin is awakening under the city of Taiyuan. Brothers turn against each other × Faction bloody battle × Tomb poison crossbow, can he see through this murderous plot that spans three thousand years? 🔥 # Suspense thriller # Tomb Robbery Tales 🌌Updated at 12 o'clock at midnight: The rust penetrates into the marrow, and the human skin map unfolds! (Click to follow the fatal live broadcast of the Bronze Bird Statue) [Image suggestion: Close-up of dark green bronze, with a vaguely armed figure wearing a mask reflected in the reflection] 💬The first hot comment is a "Luoyang Shovel User's Manual" signed by the author - maybe you need it.
