Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

As the group walked up the winding plank road, they got further and further away from the bronze tree.

When they reached the top of the stone steps, they discovered a cave in the rock face.

Furthermore, someone had driven nails into the ground and used a rope to connect it to the platform of the bronze tree on the opposite side.

That's right, the top of the Bronze Tree is not a pointed point, but a very large platform that connects to the cliff face on the other side.

There are many giant stone sculptures on the platform, but they are all covered with a large number of banyan tree roots.

These tree roots that spread throughout the entire platform all come from a large banyan tree in the center that is over thirty meters tall.

The canopy of this thing is like a giant umbrella, covering a platform with a diameter of hundreds of meters. Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, you can see some twinkling starlight.

It was obvious that the top of the tree canopy led outside, and it was still night.

"I'll go check it out first. You guys get ready and follow me."

Ji Haobo flashed to the other side, leaving behind words that made Wu Xie and Erpang's vision go black and they almost collapsed.

They naturally wanted Ji Haobo to take them there, but what they couldn't say was that Laura was still there, and was even preparing to cross the rope herself.

Ji Haobo went to the other side and took a look at the rope. He found that it was tied to the tree roots very securely. He then placed two torches next to it to light up the other side and to mark the location.

He then stopped paying attention and turned to look around the platform.

The place is filled with dense, intertwined tree roots, surrounded by giant stone sculptures, and in the center stands a large altar more than two meters high.

However, due to its age, the accumulation of dust and fallen leaves outside gave the seeds the opportunity to take root and sprout, eventually growing into this large banyan tree that covers the entire platform.

When he turned to the side against the rock wall, he saw a narrow cave with two backpacks lying on the ground next to it.

On one side of the altar, which is completely covered by the roots of the banyan tree, there is a rope tied to the roots.

Ji Haobo jumped onto the altar and discovered that the center was hollow, and it should have been covered by tree roots.

But at this moment, it was cut open, revealing a dark hole leading down, and the rope was hanging inside.

On the other side, Laura nimbly climbed over the rope.

After exchanging a glance, Wu Xie and Erpang had no choice but to grit their teeth and go for it.

The two of them hooked themselves onto the rope using both their hands and feet, and then slowly moved like maggots.

The distance of more than twenty meters took a full cup of tea to cover.

Although the posture during the process was not very elegant, fortunately, we reached the platform without any major incidents.

Compared to their dawdling, Zhang Menzi jumped directly onto the rope and walked across with ease, as if it were flat ground.

"Bo, what did you find?"

Laura came over and saw Ji Haobo standing on the altar. Curious, she walked over and asked him something.

"Hmm! Some unlucky guy is going down to deliver the buffet!"

Ji Haobo jumped down and made a joke, then turned to look at Wu Xie, who was walking over with trembling legs, and pointed to the hole in the rock wall.

"White-faced, go and call your good buddy out of the cave."

"Best buddy? Lao Yang?"

Wu Xie was taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly realized what he meant and hurriedly headed towards the cave.

"Old Yang... Old Yang, come out quickly! It's me, Wu Xie... It's me, Wu Xie!"

With his shout, a trembling Yuan Hua emerged from the cave—oh! No, it was Lao Yang.

This guy was unshaven, very slovenly, and looked completely listless.

However, upon seeing Wu Xie holding a torch, he excitedly stepped forward and grabbed him.

"Wu Xie... Wu Xie, you've finally come! I've been waiting for you for so long! My mom can be resurrected... she can be resurrected! You have to help me... you have to help me!"

"Old Yang... Old Yang, what's wrong with you? Let go, you're pinching me too hard!"

Wu Xie felt a sharp pain in his arm. Seeing that Lao Yang was acting strangely and speaking incoherently, Wu Xie was afraid of upsetting him and dared not struggle too much.

But Erpang didn't care about any of that. He stepped forward, pulled the two apart, kicked Lao Yang to the ground, and cursed under his breath.

"Damn it, pulling and shoving in front of your Uncle Erpang, you're asking for trouble!"

"Damn it, what are you doing? This is my childhood friend. Can't you see he's not in a good mental state? How could you hit him?"

Seeing Lao Yang lying on the ground, struggling to get up despite his pain, Wu Xie angrily turned to Er Pang and complained.

"I...I...I'm so pissed..."

Erpang was furious. Was it wrong for him to help?

Seeing this, Ji Haobo raised an eyebrow and a mischievous smile crept across his lips as he teased:

"Hey! Erpang! I'm not trying to be mean, but that's his childhood sweetheart. You brute, hitting him in front of everyone, doesn't Bai Mian'er feel terrible?"

"puff"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Laura couldn't help but laugh out loud, and even Zhang Menzi's lips twitched as he turned away to chuckle.

Erpang blushed with embarrassment. The joke was actually quite convincing, leaving him speechless.

"Brother Bo, stop joking. This is my childhood friend, Lao Yang. He's probably gone through some kind of trauma and is a bit mentally unstable."

Wu Xie also felt embarrassed and helplessly helped Lao Yang up.

"I know him. This guy is under the influence of hallucinations; he tricked you into coming here to materialize his mother."

Ji Haobo glanced at Lao Yang, who was completely limp, and bluntly told Wu Xie his secret.

"Wha...what?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie turned to look at Lao Yang in disbelief, only to see him trembling and not daring to look up.

"Why...why did you lie to me? When...when did Auntie die?"

Why am I being asked to materialize this? What's going on? Lao Yang, tell me!

Unfortunately, Lao Yang kept his head down and didn't answer at all, nor did anyone notice that he looked dazed and was on the verge of going crazy.

"Let me tell you!"

Ji Haobo shook his head at Lao Yang's lifeless appearance.

“Last time he was here, he not only suffered from severe hallucinations, but after finally getting out, he spent three years in prison.”

When he came out and went home, he was surprised to find that his mother had been dead for several days, and her body was lying on the sewing machine.

The man thought she was just asleep, so he went over to help her to bed, only to find that the corpse's face was stuck to the sewing machine, revealing a very gruesome appearance.

He was nearly scared to death by the horrific scene, and that terrifying image was deeply etched into his mind.

At this point in Ji Haobo's speech, Lao Yang collapsed to the ground, curled up in a ball, and trembled.

"As for why you came, it's because the image of his mother's tragic state is too deep, and it has affected his subconscious, so that's what he conjures up."

So he came to you. You are extremely familiar with his mother and can perfectly conjure her up.

But a fake is a fake, and now even fake things can't be conjured up anymore.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lao Yang, who had been a complete mess, suddenly roared with heart-wrenching fury.

"No way, that can't be! We can definitely bring Mom back to life!"

Then she cried and grabbed Wu Xie's leg, shouting loudly.

"Wu Xie... Wu Xie, you have to help me!"
