Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

Ji Haobo threw the drone out and turned to call out to the group.

"Be careful, there might be traps in the water. Don't get thrown in."

As the bamboo raft entered the cave, there was a sudden jolt, because there were several weirs at the entrance, with drops like steps.

This stretch of water, only a few dozen meters long, had a very rapid current. If it weren't for Ji Haobo's quick reflexes and superhuman strength, he would have been able to make it through.

After passing through, the bamboo raft will inevitably plunge into the calm water below.

The others were all quite agile, except for Fatty Wang, so although the bamboo raft ride was very bumpy, none of them fell into the water.

Just as everyone regained their footing and breathed a sigh of relief, before they could even marvel at the terrifying yin energy in the cave, they heard a "splat" from the water, which startled them all.

"What the heck? There really are traps in the water? What kind of traps would they be?"

Fatty Wang looked around furtively, afraid that some hidden arrow might fly out and poke him.

"Don't worry, the operation will begin ahead."

Everyone quickly followed Ji Haobo's gaze and looked ahead, illuminated by the drone's lights;

Along the twenty-meter-long cave, black mist filled the air, and numerous iron chains crisscrossed, with long, dark shadows hanging and swaying on them.

"Haobo, what is that? It doesn't look alive, but I can vaguely see a faint source of heat."

Yang Xueli looked at the hanging objects, her brows furrowed in confusion.

"Those are Gu people, a kind of insect eggs refined by evil Gu magic, fed to living people and then sealed in special clay."

This allows the insect eggs to remain dormant, consuming very little of the body's nutrients, and remaining active for thousands of years.

"As soon as the Gu people on the cave ceiling come into contact with water, the insect eggs inside will be activated and grow into adult worms in a short time."

"hiss…"

Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing this. This perverted Gu technique was indeed evil; just thinking about it sent chills down their spines.

"Master Bo... what happens when the insect eggs grow into adult insects?"

"What if they throw it away? Are they going to say 'Welcome' to our store?"

"puff"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Just as everyone couldn't help but laugh, all the iron chains on the cave ceiling suddenly vibrated, swaying and shaking like waves.

The hanging Gu people suddenly fell into the water like depth charges, creating countless splashes.

"Damn, this King Xian really knows how to play. He bombed us before the worms even hatched."

Fatty Wang wiped the water off his face and couldn't help but complain angrily.

Seeing this, Ji Haobo waved his bamboo pole to push away the people with venomous insects that were about to fall onto the bamboo raft, while teasing Wang Pangzi:

"Hahaha...you better not wet your pants when the bugs come out."

After about ten breaths, all the monsters on the cave ceiling fell down, and a large number of bubbles appeared on the rippling water surface, making the water look like a boiling pot.

"hiss…"

The scene was terrifying to watch, as if there were some giant monster underwater, extremely bizarre and frightening.

After the bamboo raft had traveled a while, a large number of moving objects began to appear on the surface of the water.

"Brother Bo, it looks like a water hog bee, but its head is ridiculously big."

Old Hu looked at the things swimming towards the bamboo raft and immediately had a constipated expression on his face, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

"Old Hu, what the hell is a water leech? Damn, I feel like it looks a bit like a leech..."

Fatty Wang was pale, grabbed Lao Hu's hand, and his legs were trembling. There were so many of these things that it was indescribable; they were the nemesis of people with trypophobia.

And that wriggling, disgusting thing is just looking at it and makes you feel very uncomfortable.

"This thing is indeed a leech, it's just called by different names in different places, but they are actually the same thing."

As Ji Haobo spoke, he lightly stomped his foot, and the golden aura of his blood and qi spread out, shattering the leeches that were approaching and clinging to the bamboo raft.

But these creatures kept coming, and their numbers on the water were increasing, which was quite unsettling.

Just then, a sound of rocks being crushed came from the darkness ahead, followed by the booming sound of water falling.

"Damn, what kind of monster is coming this time?! This cave is terrifying!"

Wang Pangzi had barely finished speaking nervously when Yang Xueli exclaimed in surprise.

"Haobo, there's something really big coming from ahead, it looks like a python."

Although everyone was a little nervous upon hearing this, they were not too afraid because they had seen several dragons cleanse their bodies before.

"I know, that's a Blue-Scaled Python. I've already been reserved for it, so you don't need to be nervous."

As they were talking, two lanterns lit up ahead, their light reflecting off the drone's lights.

Soon a head, larger than a water vat, appeared, rising seven or eight meters above the water's surface. Its two-meter-long forked tongue flicked in and out, and its bluish-green scales gleamed.

Even with only the portion of its massive body above water, the pressure it exerts is astonishing.

The blue-scaled python stopped and stared at the raft when it was more than ten meters away.

Upon seeing this, Ji Haobo flashed and appeared above its head. The Crimson Sun Serpent Vine, wreathed in flames, instantly appeared and coiled around the Azure Scale Python.

Only then did the Azure Scale Python realize the intense pain from the burning flames. It immediately began to writhe and struggle, but Ji Haobo gently stomped his foot on it.

"Hold on, you rascal, I've bestowed upon you a great fortune."

I don't know if it understood, but although it still couldn't help swaying its body in the water, the movements weren't very large.

After a short while, the Azure Scale Python completed its transformation, growing to over sixty meters in length and sprouting a pair of dragon claws, its entire body radiating a faint azure glow.

"Roar…"

The Azure Scale Python—no, it should be called an Azure Dragon now—flew directly out of the water, letting out an excited cheer.

"Go!"

As Ji Haobo's voice fell, the Azure Dragon spun around and plunged into the water, swimming around the bamboo raft.

When leeches on the water's surface come into contact with the bluish halo, they visibly lose their vitality, then wither and shrivel before being carried away by the current.

But miraculously, the bamboo raft sprouted new shoots, with branches intertwining to make it stronger.

"Wow! Bo, your dragon is amazing, just like a legendary elf!"

Laura stared wide-eyed in amazement as she reached out and touched the newly grown branches on the bamboo raft, her face filled with disbelief.

"This azure dragon is of the wood element, representing vitality; it can both revive and annihilate all things."

As the Azure Dragon swam around, most of the giant leeches that could be seen disappeared.

However, Ji Haobo knew that there was a group of saber-toothed viperfish in this underground river, and he planned to wipe them out together.

The people around him were completely bewildered when they saw him suddenly take out several pieces of raw, bloody meat and throw them into the water.

"Brother Bo, what's going on?"

"Settle the nest!"

As the bamboo raft traveled downstream for several hundred meters, the river gradually narrowed and the water became shallower, but several small tributaries appeared.

Suddenly, a grating sound of metal scraping against metal came from several tributaries whose destinations were unknown.
