Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

"Let's go! They must have gone in through the cave."

Ji Haobo leaped up and landed easily at the cave entrance, while Laura nimbly climbed up the mountain rocks.

Erpang opened his mouth, then reluctantly followed behind, gritting his teeth and climbing upwards.

Although Ji Haobo could easily bring them all up, he wouldn't act rashly unless it was an unavoidable situation.

This would create dependency in them, and going into tombs is extremely dangerous. If their first instinct is to ask for help, they're probably not far from death.

Besides, if I need help with such a small thing, I might as well just stay at home.

Ji Haobo and the other two came up and led the way. The cave was quite large, and there was a faint mist of water vapor drifting out.

After walking more than a hundred meters in, a huge underground lake appeared in front of us.

As the drone's lights shone, the water surface rippled and waves surged in the middle.

"Holy crap, is there something in the water? The waves are so big, could it be some kind of monster?"

Erpang stared at the splashing water in the center of the lake, and couldn't help but shudder.

"Bo, could there be giant salamanders here too?"

Lara's first thought was of the huge creature she encountered in the underground river last time.

"No, giant salamanders don't appear in cold water; these are large carnivorous fish."

Ji Haobo shook his head, took out a piece of bloody beef, and threw it down.

"Snapped"

The beef was submerged in water for only two breaths; before the smell of blood had even dissipated, a reaction occurred in the water.

Waves erupted in the center of the lake, splashing water several meters high. Immediately afterwards, three lines appeared on the lake surface, all rushing towards the beef.

"Boom..."

Amidst the splashing water, the group could see three large fish, each seven or eight meters long, leaping out of the water and then falling back down.

"What...what kind of fish is this? How can there be such a big fish in freshwater?"

Erpang's eyes were wide open, like a cow's, and his mouth was big enough to fit a duck egg.

Big fish are not unusual, but those are in the ocean, while this is freshwater! And it's a small underground lake, how can this not give you the creeps?

"That fish looks a bit like a taimen, but it's way too big!"

Laura was equally shocked, but looking at the shape of the fish, she couldn't help but find it unbelievable.

"You're not mistaken, that is indeed a taimen."

Ji Haobo smiled and nodded, looking at the two incredulous people, and said:

"Rumor has it that the largest one ever discovered was 15 meters long. If that's true, then these few are nothing special."

"Holy crap... 10... 15 meters? Really? That's as big as a whale in the ocean! That's outrageous!"

When Erpang and Laura heard this, they could hardly believe their ears. A 15-meter freshwater fish—what kind of concept was that? Just thinking about it was terrifying.

"Whether it's true or not doesn't matter, I'm going to go and kill these few first."

Ji Haobo handed the white fur to Laura, and then, with a thought, the black dragon appeared.

It wasn't the maximum of 99 meters, but rather shrunk to about 30 meters before plunging headfirst into the water.

Soon, huge waves surged in the lake, and the three large fish were driven to the surface. The black dragon lashed its tail, whipping one of them to the shore.

Before it could even struggle, Ji Haobo walked over and killed it with a single burst of force. The remaining two also quickly met their end.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this fish's scales alone are as big as palm fans, that's really exaggerated!"

Erpang walked over and looked at the strange fish with its mouth full of fangs, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Ji Haobo cut open the fish's belly, cleaned out the contents, and then went back to process the rest.

"These scales are a valuable commodity; their toughness makes them suitable for making bulletproof vests."

Like the giant salamander skin from last time, it was peeled off and processed, and the finished product is also good material for bulletproof vests.

When he cut open the belly of the third fish, he found some clothes and trash such as a flashlight and a backpack inside.

"Holy crap, who is this? Could it be...?"

Erpang's expression changed when he saw those things. He quickly endured the stench and rummaged around for a while before jumping into the water to wash himself.

"Damn, you worried me for nothing. Luckily it wasn't heroin."

"Bo, it looks like someone else has been here. I wonder if they were with Wu Xie?"

"Let's go! Should we go together? We might bump into each other."

Ji Haobo knew that this unlucky guy must be Liang Shiye's gang.

After cleaning the three fish, they crossed the underground lake in a few leaps and bounds with the two of them.

The following passages were carved out of cracks in the mountain, winding and turning, and some clearly descended underground.

More than an hour later, the three discovered an open stone coffin in the passage, with a hole leading to the next level.

There were also knife marks nearby, so it goes without saying that Zhang Menzi did it.

The passage below is more winding and much more complex than the one above.

The group followed the markers for two hours and then heard the rumbling sound of water, along with a wave of warm mist.

"Holy crap, this underground river is terrifying!"

The three stood at the entrance of the passage. In front of them, the cave space resembled a canyon, with an underground river several meters long flowing swiftly into the darkness.

Just from the deafening sound, you could tell there was a cliff with a huge drop not far away.

The reason Erpang said the underground river was terrifying was not only because of the rapid current, but also because of the several large iron chains that lay across the water.

More often than not, steaming water splashes and surges out from the bottom of the water.

"This is an intermittent geothermal geyser; the temperature is extremely high. If you look directly at it, you'll be boiled alive in the blink of an eye."

"hiss…"

Erpang and Laura gasped in shock upon hearing this; it was terrifying, and they couldn't imagine what it would be like to fall into boiling water.

"Isn't this way of crossing the river a bit too thrilling? Is the person who put the iron chain in the water out of their mind?"

He couldn't imagine what kind of idiot would do that, unless...

"It's not that other people have something wrong with their brains, but rather that anyone who actually walks along the chains would be truly brain-dead. This is probably just a trap or a punishment for certain people."

Ji Haobo couldn't figure out what other purpose this iron chain blocking the river could serve.

"If this wasn't set up to cross the underground river, then there shouldn't be any passage on the other side either. Which way should we go?"

Laura turned her head and looked around, then suddenly looked down into the darkness and was dumbfounded.

"You're right, there should be a secret passage at the bottom of that cliff."

Then, in the direction the drone was pointing, light dispelled the darkness, and a huge crack stretched out to an unknown location.

No one could see exactly how deep it was; it was pitch black, like a bottomless abyss, and even the drone's beam couldn't reach the bottom.

How do we go on like this?

Unless Bo Ye gives him a ride, Erpang doesn't think he has the guts to go downstream.

Laura did the same, so both of them turned to look at Ji Haobo.

Ji Haobo didn't complain about this. Unless absolutely necessary, no one would dare to jump down into this place.
