Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

The passage wasn't too winding. After walking for less than 300 meters, they saw a misty vapor drifting ahead and heard the sound of flowing water.

"Brother Bo, there should be an underground river ahead, and it looks like a geothermal river."

Ji Haobo naturally understood what Lao Hu was saying, but he didn't expect that the underground river was quite large.

As the group stood at the entrance of the passage, they looked ahead at a huge mountain fissure, which was more than a hundred meters wide, like a canyon.

A submerged river, thirty meters below the surface, flows beneath, with wisps of steam constantly rising from the churning water.

"Damn, the current in this underground river is so strong, and it looks quite rapid. It won't be easy to get across!"

Not only was Fatty Wang surprised by the underground river ahead, but the others also frowned in astonishment.

"It's indeed quite unbelievable. It's not even the snowmelt season yet, and the water flow is already this strong. I imagine the flow would be incredible in the summer."

As Ji Haobo spoke, amidst the confusion of the people around him, he took out a wolf carcass, bound it with a flying dragon claw, and threw it into the middle of the river.

"Bo, what are you doing? Fishing?"

"No way? Although the underground river has a considerable flow, this is the Kunlun Mountains, thousands of meters above sea level. How could there possibly be fish here?"

No sooner had Fatty Wang finished speaking than a huge wave burst open in the river, forming a line of water that rushed towards the wolf carcass in the center.

"Holy crap, there really is something, and it looks like it's huge!"

Wang Pangzi was so slapped in the face that his jaw almost dislocated. Apart from Ji Haobo, everyone else was also extremely surprised.

They expected there might be fish, but they never imagined there would be such a big one.

"You guys step back a bit, those things in the water aren't fish."

As Ji Haobo pulled the wolf carcass toward the shore, he gave instructions to the others.

Judging from the splash he just saw, it must have been a giant salamander, definitely no smaller than the one in the story.

Sure enough, when Ji Haobo dragged the wolf carcass onto the rocky shore, a huge figure came chasing after them from the water.

Its head, which was just above water, was larger than a square table, not to mention its back, which was more than a meter wide.

"What...what is this? Could it be some kind of dinosaur?"

Lara couldn't think of anything else that could be so huge, except for extinct dinosaurs.

"It wasn't a dinosaur, but this creature lived during that period, and even small to medium-sized dinosaurs were its prey."

His words made the people behind him widen their eyes, wanting to see what that thing was.

When the giant creature in the water chased the wolf carcass ashore, the half of its body that was exposed made Old Hu exclaim in disbelief.

"This...this is a giant salamander. I went to see the fossils when I was serving in the army here, but the experts said it was extinct!"

"Old Hu is right, this is indeed the giant salamander, and it is indeed extinct outside;

But the environment here must be quite suitable for their survival, which is why fire has been passed down from ancient times.

Fatty Wang wasn't very interested in what they were talking about, but looking at the huge creature that had climbed ashore, stretching over ten meters from head to tail, he muttered excitedly:

"What? A giant salamander? I'm looking at this enlarged version of a giant salamander. The meat of this thing must be really good. Bo, don't let it slip by!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant salamander made a sound like a baby crying.

At the same time, a tongue thicker than a human thigh suddenly shot out from its mouth, sucking the wolf carcass and pulling it into its gaping maw.

However, due to the binding effect of the Flying Dragon Claw in Ji Haobo's hand, the wolf corpse was directly broken in two by the two enormous pulling forces.

The wolf carcass, thawed by the warm river water, was torn into pieces and immediately emitted a bloody smell, spreading downstream with the water flow.

"Holy crap, this guy is ferocious!"

Wang Pangzi was startled by the giant salamander's several-meter-long tongue and involuntarily retreated, fearing that he would be hit like that as well.

"Nonsense, didn't you hear what Bo Ye said? This thing even dares to hunt dinosaurs, how could it not be ferocious?"

Old Hu was also startled and subtly shifted his feet.

Ji Haobo ignored their chatter, flicked his dragon claw to retrieve it, and left the broken half of the wolf carcass to the Tyrant Salamander.

"Be careful, everyone. There are other guys in the water. I'll go and kill this one first."

Before he could finish speaking, he flashed forward, a long sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed out a burst of energy in mid-air.

"call out…"

A white aura, more than a meter wide, formed a crescent shape and whistled as it struck the head of the giant salamander.

"chi"

"Wow..."

The skin of this giant salamander is different from that of the Chinese giant salamander. Although it also does not have scales, it has a layer of keratin similar to shark skin.

This layer of skin has extremely strong defensive capabilities, and it naturally cannot withstand the force of the Qi.

However, it also greatly reduced its power, leaving only a wound a little over half a meter long, with not much blood splattering.

The giant salamander, having been struck, let out a painful scream, but it was also enraged.

No longer moving slowly and lazily, it fiercely pounced on Ji Haobo, its huge mouth opening to reveal countless fine teeth.

Amidst the stench, the tongue shot out again with lightning speed, but its plan had backfired.

Ji Haobo sneered disdainfully. To him, this big, clumsy guy was no different from a pile of meat on a chopping board.

With a long sword in hand, leaving afterimages, he severed the incoming tongue before the giant salamander could even let out a scream;

Ji Haobo appeared beside its head, his long sword radiating a golden halo. He chopped off most of the large head as if splitting wood, and blood gushed out like a burst water pipe, flowing all over the ground.

Such a wound killed the giant salamander on the spot, but its massive body still instinctively rolled a few times before becoming still.

Just as Ji Haobo put the big thing away, intending to deal with it later, a huge splash suddenly erupted in the middle of the river.

"Waaaaah..."

A deafening, mournful cry echoed through the underground river; this sound wave was not simple, but possessed a strong hallucinogenic effect.

Although Ji Haobo felt like he was basking in a spring breeze, Yang Xueli only felt dizzy and saw double.

But Lao Hu and his companions felt a splitting headache, their eyes were glazed and empty, and various hallucinations appeared in their minds.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Coffin on their backs reacting and waking them up, they would probably be in serious trouble.

The group, their faces pale, quickly retreated again, looking with lingering fear at the giant salamander that had crawled out of the river, its size even more exaggerated.

This creature is at least twenty meters long from head to tail. It's unimaginable how such a massive body can withstand the pressure of its own weight.

"Wow wow wow..."

The giant salamander let out another shrill cry, which shook the air and caused distorted ripples to spread.

Ji Haobo frowned, worried that if the guy kept shouting, it might wake up the Dapu Ghost Worm and cause trouble.
