Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

Once they left, only Chen Wenjing, disguised as a Tibetan woman, remained.

She was completely bewildered. What was going on? Wasn't she supposed to lead the way?

Why do I feel like I'm dispensable, not valued at all, and not even worried about running away? Should I leave now or not?

She originally planned to use the complex terrain of the Devil City ahead to sneak away quietly;

But the man's godlike skills shocked her and made her want to investigate further, so she gritted her teeth and continued to follow him.

The group walked through ravines and gullies, where towering, wind-eroded rock walls divided the space like a maze.

Scattered on the gravelly ground were a few scattered bones, adding to the desolation and eeriness under the setting sun.

Ji Haobo found a spacious place for everyone to set up camp; he didn't plan to return to the Hunyuan Realm tonight.

Because as soon as the sun sets in this place, he can feel a faint yin energy permeating the air.

"Brother Bo, I just found a fossilized seashell on the rock face next to us."

Wu Xie, who had been circling around, came over with a few rocks in his hand.

Ji Haobo glanced at the fossil in his hand, shook his head, and said:

"This is not surprising. The so-called Devil City was once an ocean in ancient times. Later, tectonic movements raised the elevation of this place."

Although the seawater has receded, the large amount of salt remaining makes it difficult for vegetation to grow.

In addition, due to climate influences, the ancient riverbed formed by the trench has been eroded by wind into its present shape.

In late July, the temperature in the Gobi Desert was a bit low at night, so Fatty Wang and Lao Hu built a campfire.

Then several lamb legs and beef were placed on the grill, roasting until they sizzled and dripped with oil, filling the entire camp with their aroma.

Qiu Dehao looked at the canned food and bread in his hand and immediately lost his appetite, throwing them into the tent.

"Hey Fatty, where's your barbecue?"

The old man swallowed hard, then shamelessly plopped down on the floor.

"Yes! Want to eat?"

Fatty Wang glanced at him and said jokingly:

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? I didn't know either, and now I haven't prepared much. Look at this mess, it's really putting me in a difficult position!"

"Uh... Fatty, you're joking. There's plenty of barbecue here; sharing some with me shouldn't be a problem."

After a stick of incense had burned, Qiu Dehao held a bone with very little meat and gnawed it clean.

Those who don't know him would mistake him for a beggar who has been starving for many days, and would never guess that he is a billionaire who has tasted all kinds of delicacies.

"Wow! This barbecue is so delicious, but there's not enough of it. Fatty, you have to get me a portion next time!"

The people around him almost burst out laughing when they saw him reluctantly throwing away the bone.

To be fair, the barbecue was indeed extremely delicious, though this wasn't because Fatty Wang and his friends were particularly skilled at grilling.

Rather, it's because the meat has been marinated in Delicious Kitchen that it has such a special flavor.

If robots were to bake it themselves, with their precise control of the heat down to the second, the texture and taste would be even better.

Actually, Ah Ning was originally going to cut a piece of meat for him, after all, the old friendship between them was there, but who knew there was a little glutton next to him.

"Bo...Bo, White Furry wants to eat meat too."

She had only been awake for a short time and hadn't yet tasted anything delicious from the kitchen, so naturally she felt a craving.

Besides, that little bit of meat wasn't enough for her to eat, not to mention that little Golden Silkworm Gu was also going to consume it.

"Then let's go back with Sister Aning, eat our fill, and come back later."

The little creature hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, shook its head, and hugged Ji Haobo's neck, saying:

"Then...then White Furry won't eat it. White Furry doesn't want to leave Bo."

"Hahaha...you little thing, your mouth is so sweet, you only say things that make people adorable."

Ji Haobo laughed heartily and rubbed her little head. With a thought, a large plate of cooked meat appeared in his hand.

"Eat it!"

Qiu Dehao, standing nearby, swallowed hard, feeling that the meat smelled even better, but he dared not provoke Bai Maomao.

Chen Wenjing had witnessed everything that was happening here, and he was filled with shock at Bai Maomao.

Although she didn't know what it was, she sensed that it was in extreme danger.

After dinner, everyone returned to their tents to rest. It wasn't until midnight that Ji Haobo sensed something unusual outside and opened his eyes.

"What's wrong, Haobo?"

"A malevolent aura is approaching."

Ji Haobo handed the white fur to him and then left the tent.

By this time, the campfires had mostly died down, and the area around the camp was filled with a chilling atmosphere, with ghostly flames flickering on some of the wind-blown rocks.

Originally, it was Qiu Dehao's two men who were on night watch, but now they were lying on the ground, trembling with fear, as if they were experiencing sleep paralysis.

"Humph…"

Ji Haobo frowned slightly and snorted coldly. His extremely strong and masculine aura spread outwards like waves in the air.

The yin energy was swept away wherever it passed, leaving only a faint golden light enveloping the camp.

At this moment, the others also heard the commotion and ran out of the tent.

The group glanced at the two people on the ground, seeing them panting heavily with sweat on their brows, and then looked at the black mist that was blocked by the golden light.

Apart from Lao Hu and his group, everyone else was filled with shock.

"What's going on? Why is there such a chilling aura? Could there be ghosts even here?"

"Aren't you going to talk nonsense? Didn't you see there are a lot of will-o'-the-wisps on Windstone Rock? They must be from those seashells..."

Wu Xie suddenly felt something was amiss and asked uncertainly:

"Uh... can that seashell turn into a seashell ghost?"

Everyone rolled their eyes at his words and ignored him, staring ahead in shock.

"What...what is that? A ghost ship?"

Qiu Dehao gasped in a trembling voice.

This wasn't just incoherent rambling; there was indeed an ancient ship emitting a faint glow drifting closer in the darkness.

"Da da da…"

Suddenly, one of Qiu Dehao's men, due to excessive tension, couldn't help but pull the trigger.

As soon as he fired, the others followed suit, and a barrage of gunfire erupted as bullets rained down on the ghost ship until they ran out of ammunition.

For a moment, the surroundings became completely silent, with only the heavy breathing of a group of people.

Just as the atmosphere was tense, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the ghost ship, and a large number of bright spots shot into the sky;

Meanwhile, many small ghostly figures floated around the ghost ship, occasionally letting out shrill screams.

A group of people looked at the ball of light swirling in the sky and asked with some confusion:

"Brother Bo, what exactly are those?"

"Those in the air are the Corpse Beetle Kings, and those on the ships are the vengeful spirits and malevolent spirits who died tragically."

"The Corpse... Corpse Beetle King?"

As soon as Ji Haobo finished speaking, Lao Hu and the others exclaimed in surprise, their expressions changing drastically. A Ning, in particular, was reminded of her experience at the Lu Palace.

Qiu Dehao quickly moved closer to Ji Haobo, having heard of the terror of the Corpse Beetle King, whose bite was certain death.

There are so many of them in the sky now; if they all flew down at once, it would be unimaginable.
