Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

When the drone's beam shone through, the several tributaries disappeared from view, revealing only a dense mass of swimming fish.

The sound of metal scraping together was from the collision of their metallic scales.

"This is... a razor-toothed viper?"

Yang Xueli was taken aback when she saw those things.

"That's right, this razor-toothed viper goes berserk at the sight of blood, and will eat any living thing. If an ordinary person encountered it, they would probably be dead for sure. But now it's just a joke."

With Ji Haobo's appearance, the Azure Scale Python broke its original fate, transforming from a python into a dragon and no longer suffering the fate of being devoured by the saber-toothed viper.

Moreover, it reversed to the second level. The Azure Dragon swam directly over, and all the saber-toothed viperfish turned into life energy, becoming its nutrients and making it even larger.

Seeing how easily a deadly crisis could be resolved, Lao Hu and the others had already gotten used to it.

But Zhang Haixing's face showed a look of boredom, and his feelings were complicated.

Logically speaking, safety is a good thing, but there's always an inexplicable unease about it.

"With you around, tomb raiding adventures are all about exploration, not danger!"

"Hey! I can't agree with what you're saying. Exploration doesn't mean risking your life for no reason."

Just like love doesn't necessarily have to be a life-or-death struggle; it can also be calm and uneventful. What matters is the journey itself.

For example, what I saw and heard along the way, and the strange and wonderful things I experienced, that's enough;

If you only seek thrills and don't have absolute strength, you'll eventually be defeated.

Ji Haobo wasn't talking nonsense. In the original story, none of the characters had a good ending. After all, if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

"Bo-ye is right. Last year, when we first arrived at Ganggangyingzi, we were terrified when we encountered a bunch of weasels."

Back then, Master Bo wasn't as powerful as he is now. That day, he was being chased by a group of ghost soldiers in the mountains, and Lao Hu and I couldn't help him at all.

In the pitch black, Bo Ye had several broken bones; that was the most disheveled we'd ever seen him in. He wasn't nearly as relaxed and carefree as he is now.

Old Hu and Fatty Wang were still shaken when they recalled that night's experience; they didn't want to relive such a life-or-death moment.

"Ah... Haobo, you had such an experience? Was it particularly dangerous at the time?"

After listening, Yang Xueli and the others took his hands and asked him questions with heartache.

"Hehe... Don't listen to Lao Hu and his companion's nonsense. Although I was in a bit of a mess at the time, with their help in lighting the lamps, I easily dealt with the Yin Cavalry."

Ji Haobo patted their hands with a smile and shook his head nonchalantly.

"Alright, there's light ahead, that must be the exit."

As the bamboo raft moved forward, the river became shallower and gentler, flowing towards the rocky streams outside.

Once the group stepped onto the mudflats, Ji Haobo put away the Azure Dragon and the bamboo raft and left the cave, immediately feeling as if he had broken through an invisible barrier.

The oppressive heat was overwhelming; the air was not only thick but also extremely humid, forming a thin mist that made the sun appear as a mere red outline.

However, the surrounding dense forest is full of life, with shrubs and various vines intertwined, showing an extremely primitive and vigorous appearance, which is a completely different world from the outside.

"Damn, this place is even more primitive than a primeval forest. There are absolutely no roads to follow; we have to hack our way through the undergrowth to make our way forward."

Looking at the dense, impenetrable forest around him, Fatty Wang drew his knife, ready to clear a path.

But Ji Haobo waved his hand at him, and the fragments of the Demon Blade Flowing Fire Thousand Blades instantly turned into a shredder, and a forest path appeared in the blink of an eye.

"The climate here is like a tropical rainforest. Once I've excavated the tomb of King Xian, I'll store the entire Insect Valley in my little cave world."

Along the way, the group discovered many unknown flowers, plants, and trees, and heard the chirping of insects and birds, creating a lively scene.

"This secret realm is indeed very special, worthy of being included in the Cave Heaven World."

Everyone agreed with his idea; such an unpolluted place is hard to find anywhere else.

As they moved forward, Ji Haobo had to consult the map from time to time and go into the air to determine their direction, otherwise he would have no idea where he was.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the group arrived near the large banyan tree marked on the map, but they were all stunned by the two large banyan trees standing side by side in front of them.

Because this tree is unbelievably large, not to mention over a hundred meters tall, its dense, vine-like roots hang down like pillars.

Even more astonishing is the area covered by the tree canopy. Ji Haobo estimated that it was at least 400 meters in diameter. Strangely, there were no shrubs or weeds below, only thick layers of dead leaves.

"Something's not right here; there aren't any insects chirping or birds singing."

The others also noticed this, and since they didn't have Ji Haobo's eyesight, they felt uneasy looking at the misty, lifeless scene under the tree canopy.

"Brother Bo, is it possible that some androgynous old woman will suddenly appear out of nowhere?"

Fatty Wang shrank back, covered his mouth, and muttered in a low voice.

"That's perfect! I'll act as your matchmaker, letting you experience the double joy of being able to attack or retreat as needed."

"puff"

Old Hu couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, and jokingly added:

"Hehehe... I think it's a good idea. Fatty, you can be both the groom and the bride, that's boundless fun!"

"Damn, Lao Hu, you're a bachelor too. How can you make fun of another bachelor?"

"Are you ever going to stop?"

The group's inappropriate and crude remarks drew fierce glares from the three women nearby, especially Yang Xueli, who glared angrily at Lao Hu and Fatty Wang.

"Don't say anything vulgar or offensive to Haobo anymore. He never used to swear; he must have been corrupted by you two."

"Ah...uh...this...this..."

Old Hu and Fatty Wang stared at each other, mouths agape, momentarily stunned.

"Uh...you guys are camping nearby, I'll go check it out."

Upon seeing this, Ji Haobo quickly took out the tent, put it down, suppressed a laugh, and hurried away.

After walking around the banyan tree, I found that for some reason, the huge stem of the tree, which was wrapped in countless vines and roots, showed faint signs of decay.

The reason it hasn't collapsed and still has a chance to survive is entirely due to the support of those pillar-like tree roots.

"Haobo, have you discovered anything?"

Yang Xueli and the other two let Lao Hu and the others set up the tent, but they walked over curiously.

"Hmm! This is a feng shui tree, but now there's a problem. The inside of the trunk is rotting, so there must be something wrong underground."

But it probably started above the tree canopy; I'm going to go up and take a look.

According to the plot, there is an airplane on board, and Ji Haobo guessed that the problem might be because of it.

"Then take us up with you."

Yang Xueli chuckled and pounced on his back. Laura and Zhang Haixing were not to be outdone, each grabbing one of his arms.

Ji Haobo suddenly felt surrounded by balls and cursed inwardly as a devil;

But his hand, rather unruly, slipped out and cradled the two of them on their rounded breasts, then leaped up from a gap in the branches.
