Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

"Drink...you're going to die!"

The chilling blade energy whistled like a meteor, but unexpectedly, the giant salamander swung its tail at you.

Its power is not to be underestimated either; just from the sound of it cutting through the air and being enveloped in dark light, you can tell it's no ordinary creature.

"boom…"

The blade's energy was actually shattered by the Tyrannosaurus Rex's tail, which surprised Ji Haobo, but that was all.

He appeared above it in a flash, ready to plunge his long sword down and finish it off;

Unexpectedly, a flash of dark light appeared on the top of this thing's huge head, revealing a closed eye, as big as a washbasin, gleaming with a blood-red light.

"Holy crap, the cursed giant eye?"

Ji Haobo was startled by the suddenly appearing giant eye, but then he sensed something was wrong, because the giant eye did not show any signs of a curse.

Just as he was wondering how the giant salamander could have such a thing, the giant eye actually showed a fluctuation.

However, it wasn't a curse. Instead, after the air distorted, hundreds of tiny, sparkling objects appeared and flew towards him, shimmering with a ghostly blue light.

"This... the Dapu Ghost Worm?"

Ji Haobo raised an eyebrow, extremely surprised. He never expected that the Tyrannosaurus Salamander could summon the Dapu Ghost Insect.

However, these mere insects were nothing to him; his blood and energy erupted, forming a golden halo.

Instantly, the Dapu Ghost Insects were shattered by the distorted air ripples, and at the same time, a terrifying force poured into the head of the Tyrannosaurus Salamander from beneath Ji Haobo's feet.

The powerful force that could shatter steel instantly turned its brains into mush.

However, the giant eye did not dim; instead, its crimson light became even more dazzling, and a several-meter-long, dark blue bulge appeared in the void, as if something was about to squeeze out.

Seeing this, Ji Haobo quickly plunged his longsword into the giant eye and stirred it around. He didn't have the habit of waiting for people to finish their ultimate moves; who knew what was inside?

After the giant eye was damaged, the bulge immediately subsided and slowly disappeared.

But the crimson light in the giant eye turned into a boundless, dark blue karmic fire.

Ji Haobo didn't know what was going on, but wanting to avoid wasting any resources, he immediately swung his knife and chopped off a section of the giant salamander's head.

After he retracted most of his torso, the boundless karmic fire had spread to the entire head of the Tyrant Salamander, forming a blue fireball several meters in size.

Although the flames looked very intense, Ji Haobo, who was standing next to him, did not feel any heat at all, as if the thing was an illusion.

What shocked him even more was that in just a few breaths, the giant salamander's enormous head turned to ashes.

The eerie blue flame contracted rapidly and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a deep blue, translucent bead the size of an egg on the ground.

The group of people who walked over were too far away to see the bulge that appeared in the void, but they did see the eerie blue flames.

So they exchanged a glance with Ji Haobo, and then all gathered around the bead to examine it.

"Brother Bo, what is that thing? That flame looked terrifying!"

Fatty Wang swallowed hard, nervously and carefully poked at the bead with his knife, but nothing unusual came of it.

"Who knows what it is? Judging by its round shape, it's definitely not natural."

Ji Haobo didn't know what it was either. He reached out to pick it up, but Yang Xueli and Laura quickly pulled him back.

"Haobo, what if you trigger that flame?"

"This...it can't be!"

Ji Haobo hesitated for a moment, then his qi and blood surged to form a protective layer on his hand before he reached out again.

As the bead was picked up, a ball of eerie blue flame suddenly rose up.

The people nearby were shocked to see this. Yang Xueli immediately grabbed Wang Pangzi's knife, preparing to cut off Ji Haobo's hand to save his life.

"What? Are you trying to murder your husband, or are you planning to turn me into Yang Guo and you into Xiaolongnu?"

Ji Haobo's joking words stunned everyone, and Yang Xueli stared at him blankly with red eyes.

"Haobo, you...you're alright? That's great!"

"Of course I'm fine, I didn't want to worry you."

Ji Haobo stopped joking and withdrew the aura from his hand. The dark blue flame disappeared, leaving only the bead quietly in his palm.

"What...what happened? You almost scared us to death!"

Laura and Yang Xueli checked his hand, and found that not a single hair was missing.

"I don't know what this bead is made of. As soon as I picked it up, it was activated by the blood and qi in my hand, so it burst out with boundless karmic fire."

But if you withdraw your qi and blood, it will return to its current state and there is no danger.

After everyone examined the bead, they discovered that apart from its pure color and clear appearance under the light without any flaws, the only other thing about the bead was that it seemed to have a flickering flame in the center.

As for what material this thing is made of, it's impossible to tell. It's neither jade nor a gemstone; it's more like glass, only it feels a bit heavier.

"Brother Bo, the flames that appeared on that bead just now looked the same as the ones the Dapu Ghost Worms used to burn people. Do you think they might have been caused by those worms?"

Ji Haobo took the bead from Lao Hu, pondered for a moment, and nodded:

"That's possible. Just now, that giant salamander summoned some Dapu ghost insects. I guess it might be a tomb guardian beast that someone placed here."

This is a bit hard to believe, considering it's been several thousand years; how could it have lived for so long?

Fatty Wang clapped his hands and gestured as he took over the conversation:

"Hey! Last time, Lao Jin and I ran into someone secretly selling giant salamanders. They were over two meters long and they said they were over a thousand years old."

That giant salamander was as big as a truck; it's normal that it's lived for thousands of years.

"Hmm! Let's not worry about that for now. There was quite a commotion just now. Let's go check it out first."

"If any giant salamanders are attracted, those creatures are probably extremely rare, we can't just kill them all."

Ji Haobo put the bead away. He had just glanced at the panel and discovered that if he turned it into a card, he would need 50,000 card-drawing points.

That's secondary; the key issue is that he felt it was rather useless and not very practical.

Then Ji Haobo led a few people across the water in two separate trips to the other side.

"Brother Bo, when do you think we'll be able to walk on water too?!"

Wang Pangzi's words drew curious glances from the others, since no one could resist such an ability.

"I don't know them, but you can go down and float now."

"puff"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Lao Hu and the others burst into laughter upon hearing this. After making a joke, Ji Haobo looked at the group and said:

"You definitely can't wade through water like I do, but it's possible if the water is below your knees."

However, to achieve that, your control over your internal energy is far from sufficient; I estimate only Xue Li has a slight chance.”

Upon hearing this, Lao Hu and Fatty Wang's faces fell. Although their strength had doubled in the past six months, and they could easily lift more than 300 pounds with one arm.

However, his control over his strength was a complete mess; he couldn't even produce a single sound of Ming Jin (a type of internal force).
