Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

Ji Haobo took a couple of puffs of his cigar in a good mood. The Kowloon Coffin tattoo now has four pieces back in place.

If the above-mentioned Candle Nine Yin is also true, then there are five positions.

I gained a lot of benefits from the Desert Coffin last time, but I'm still only at the Gold level, although the difficulty of upgrading has increased significantly.

However, he speculated that perhaps Kowloon would need to be reinstated before it could be upgraded to a Diamond Card.

"Master Bo, what's going on? Why is there a dragon's roar, and it's different from the ones we've seen before?"

When Wu Xie and the others saw Ji Haobo come down, they curiously went up to ask him questions.

"There was a giant snake up there, which I subdued."

Ji Haobo smiled, exhaled a puff of smoke, gave a brief explanation, and then waved to Bai Maomao.

Let's go! Let's continue our journey.

"Oh! We're leaving already? I haven't had enough rest yet!"

Upon hearing this, Erpang's face instantly turned sour, and he muttered to himself.

"Damn it, I've given you enough rest, aren't your arms and legs still aching? You're going to be wailing and screaming like a banshee, polluting my ears!"

Ji Haobo glared at him irritably, then turned and walked upstairs.

Another hour or so passed, and Erpang and Wu Xie were once again on the verge of collapse.

"Huff...huff, I can't go on anymore, I'm so tired and hungry, I really have no strength left."

"Damn it, how can a grown man say he can't!"

Looking at the two people's pale faces, Ji Haobo shook his head helplessly, looked around, and found a place where tree branches were gathered.

"Let's eat first, and you can take a rest too. We've only climbed halfway!"

"Holy crap, it's only halfway done? My God!"

Upon hearing this, Erpang plopped down on a tree branch. If he wasn't worried about bumping into the bronze tree, he would have just lay down and rolled around a few times.

"Slurp... slurp... hey!"

Wu Xie and Erpang, holding their bowls, savored the meat broth. After exchanging a glance, they grinned and said:

"No fatigue is too much for a few bowls of delicious stewed meat to recover from. If it is, then eat more, haha!"

"Do you think this aroma will make those monkeys drool? Hehehe..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the others turned and glared at him, because there was a "rustling" sound coming from above and nearby.

"Uh... is that a monkey or Cao Cao? Uncle Erpang just mentioned them, and they're about to show up?"

Erpang chuckled awkwardly, feeling utterly speechless. He was just joking, but those bastards came at him like that. Wasn't this a slap in the face?

"It's not a monkey, but a 'chi gu' (a type of poisonous insect)."

Ji Haobo glanced around and frowned. A large number of basketball-sized insects were crawling rapidly toward them.

"Chi Gu? What the hell? Those ghostly things look a bit like giant crabs to me!"

By the light of a few torches, the group was able to see what was there. Although they were a little nervous, they were not very afraid.

These things, apart from being numerous, really do look like the giant crabs that Erpang described.

"You really know how to think, huh? A big crab? Hmph..."

Ji Haobo unleashed the Demon Blade Flowing Fire Thousand to clear away the swarming insects, then turned to look at the group and sneered.

"Didn't you hear me say this is called a Chi Gu? How can Gu be simple?"

"Uh... so they're poisonous?"

Before Wu Xie could finish his hesitant words, Laura noticed something and gasped in horror.

"No, they look a bit like monkey masks, this...this..."

"hiss…"

Although Laura didn't finish her sentence, the others still understood what she meant, so they couldn't help but gasp.

"You're right, the mask on the monkey's face is actually this thing."

The Chi Gu not only possesses parasitic abilities, but it also controls the host's mind, making the host extremely violent and aggressive.

Ji Haobo got up and walked towards the outside of the tree branch, controlling the fragments of the Demon Blade Flowing Fire Thousand Blades to continuously clear away the Chi Gu.

These things are a bit dangerous; if they get outside, it will be a big problem.

It took a full cup of tea to burn all the Chi Gu that could be found to ashes. As for whether there were any more elsewhere, that was unknown.

After eating and drinking their fill and resting for more than an hour, Wu Xie and his group continued climbing at Ji Haobo's urging.

Compared to the lower section, the branches of the upper part of this bronze divine tree are gradually less dense and much thinner, which is just enough to pass through.

While climbing, Wu Xie suddenly felt something slippery on his gloves. When he got closer to the torch, he was startled.

"Hey! There's blood here!"

Seeing this, Erpang looked up and a drop of blood landed right on his face.

"Holy crap, someone up there must have been killed. Blood's splattered all over Second Fatty's face."

Ji Haobo ignored his incessant cursing and took a few steps through the branches to reach a height of more than ten meters, where he discovered two corpses that had been smashed beyond recognition.

"Brother Bo, what did you find?"

Erpang and the others climbed up with heavy breaths, asking questions as they went.

"Those two unlucky fellows must be from the group that kidnapped Bai Xiang."

Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He was afraid it was his childhood friend Lao Yang, whom he had lost contact with since they got separated... Sigh!

"That one over there looks like Master Liang, but I can't recognize this ragged, unrecognizable guy."

"Tch...Serves him right! It's truly gratifying to see him die like this; it's retribution."

Ji Haobo didn't care much about whether the two unlucky guys lived or died, but he frowned when he saw their blood seeping into the fine lines on the bronze tree.

"Could this be the start of a ritual?"

Zhang Menzi had obviously noticed as well, and looked at Ji Haobo with a serious expression.

"It's not fully activated. This amount of blood is far too little for the massive Bronze Tree. But just to be safe, check your gloves; if they're torn, change them immediately."

Ji Haobo shook his head at the nervous group and glanced into the darkness.

"There are remnants of a plank road over there; let's walk along it."

Wu Xie and Erpang, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, were overjoyed upon hearing this, as walking on the plank road should be easier than climbing the tree.

But when they saw the so-called plank road, they instantly felt a chill in their hearts.

Due to its age, apart from the sparse stone steps extending from the rock face, the outer railings of this walkway are completely rotten, making it utterly unsafe to walk on.

"Bo...Bo-ye, how about we just climb the tree instead?"

Wu Xie and Erpang exchanged a glance; both of them were trembling with their legs shaking.

"Alright, you guys keep climbing the trees, we'll walk along the boardwalk."

Ji Haobo nodded in approval and led Laura across the few meters of space between the tree branches and the boardwalk.

"No way! Brother Bo, we're also going to use the plank road, why don't you lend a hand!"

What a joke! After seeing the giant monkey, the Chi Gu, and what Ji Haobo called a giant snake, neither of them would dare to climb a tree alone even if they were beaten to death.

The two men glanced at the dark abyss below, hesitated, and dared not jump. Zhang Menzi simply picked them up and threw them over there.

Jumping and leaping on the stone steps spaced about a meter apart on the rock face, the two men were sweating profusely and dared not be careless in the slightest.
