Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

After traveling for more than half an hour, the group soon passed the place where the snakes had hunted the previous night.

Seeing the vast expanse of land devoid of vegetation and the marks of the ground being worn smooth, everyone gasped in shock.

They could guess with their toes that this was caused by frequent snake swarms.

"The space here is thin, and it often briefly overlaps with the inner world at midnight when yin and yang alternate, leaving some unlucky ones behind."

So over time, this area became a hunting ground for snakes.

Everyone was amazed when they heard this. They hadn't expected that the snakes had done some good deeds. Otherwise, if those snake people or something had escaped, it would have been a real problem.

However, Wu Xie began to worry again, as his third uncle was still nowhere to be seen, and he had no idea what was going on.

Following the trail of the snakes, the group quickly arrived at the water's edge.

The view here is different from what we saw on the other side, which may be because more than a day has passed.

Anyway, the water is relatively clear now and not too deep, usually only up to the knees in most places.

Ji Haobo didn't waste any words and walked on the water with ease.

Zhang Menzi, who followed closely behind, also waded through the water, but he was still a little short, and the water reached his ankles.

Seeing this, Lao Hu and Fatty Wang eagerly took a running start and rushed out.

As expected, Lao Hu only stomped the water five times, each stomp deeper than the last, and the engine stalled on the sixth stomp.

Needless to say, Fatty Wang's third kick created a huge splash of water, like frying fish.

Even so, Erpang and his friends were still incredibly envious; if it were them, they would have gone straight to the top.

"Fatty, you're amazing! Being able to float three steps on water, that makes you a real expert."

"Just average... I wouldn't call myself an expert."

Although that's what he said, his lips curled up so wide they reached his ears.

Seeing this, Pan Zi curiously interjected and asked:

"So what level have you reached in your kung fu? You should have reached the internal strength stage by now, right?"

Wang Pangzi's previously smug mood instantly soured, and he ignored him with a dark expression.

As you move forward, you see remnants of collapsed buildings in the water, making it not only uncomfortable to walk on but also a real tripping hazard.

Sure enough, Qiu Dehao accidentally slipped and fell flat on his face, but luckily it was in the water, so he was fine.

However, when I got up, I grabbed something, and when I looked closely, I screamed in terror.

"Ah...snake...snake..."

The chubby guy next to him was also startled by his sudden scream and turned to look. He was shocked by the large piece of snake skin in the man's hand.

But suppressing the wild beating in his heart, he cursed and said:

"Hey, it's just a snake's shed skin, what are you so afraid of!"

Fatty Wang and Old Hu went over, picked up the snake molt, and examined it. They were immediately shocked.

"Holy crap, this thing is huge! Just a few scales spread out are bigger than a door panel. To be honest, it's a bit scary."

The already tense crowd became even more nervous after Wang Pangzi's shout.

Wu Xie shrank back even further, and whispered as if he saw a ghost:

"Master Bo, look, this snake skin hasn't rotted even after being soaked in water. It must have shed itself in the last few days. I wonder if it's one of the snakes you killed?"

Ji Haobo glanced at the snake molts in their hands, frowned, and soared into the sky, overlooking the waters.

As they scanned the area, they discovered that it wasn't very large. A few hundred meters away, there were several whirlpools of varying sizes, swallowing up large amounts of water.

In addition, there's the swamp we encountered yesterday, which is also connected to this place.

After the water level receded over a large area, some puddles appeared in the swamp, containing not only the mangled remains of unfortunate souls, but also, even more, the corpses of snake people.

They had all become hatcheries, with a large number of pheasants wriggling inside, a sight that sent chills down one's spine, but no giant snakes were seen.

Follow me.

Ji Haobo ignored the pheasant necks in the swamp, left a message for the crowd below, and headed towards the whirlpools.

He knew those whirlpools were drainage channels leading underground, and that going down there would surely lead to the final underground lake.

When Ji Haobo waved his hand to push away the water near a whirlpool, a large pit was revealed underneath, containing a pile of collapsed building stones, through which the water disappeared.

Needless to say, there must be a passage inside. As he reached out with his large hand, which was filled with qi and blood, there was indeed a large hole under the stone. No, it was a vertical well.

The sound of water dripping down suggests that there is a fairly large drainage channel underground.

"Brother Bo, what's going on down there?"

At this moment, everyone came over and looked down into the shaft. It was pitch black, with wind blowing out and hollow sounds of water or something else, which sent chills down their spines.

"Zhang Menzi, you go ahead and scout ahead."

Ji Haobo lowered the drone, and Zhang Menzi, without saying a word, immediately prepared to jump.

However, Ji Haobo suddenly remembered something and took out a Tang sword, handing it over.

"This knife is for you. Although it's not as heavy as the Black Gold Ancient Sword, its sharpness is truly as sharp as cutting through mud."

Speaking of Zhang Menzi, he was incredibly unlucky. The night before last, he was not only nearly beaten to death by a giant snake in the snake tide, but he also lost his Black Gold Ancient Sword on the spot.

Taking the knife from Ji Haobo, Zhang Menzi casually twirled it a few times and immediately felt that it was much more comfortable to use than the original Black Gold Ancient Knife.

Moreover, the long sword sliced ​​through the air without making a sound, which told him that this sword was no ordinary thing.

Zhang Menzi nodded to Ji Haobo without saying thank you or anything, then turned and jumped into the shaft.

"Brother Bo, do you still have any of those knives? Could you give me one?"

Erpang and Wu Xie, who were standing nearby, were envious and had no choice but to shamelessly ask for some.

"Give it to you? With your skills, I'm afraid the Disabled Persons' Federation will have to issue a few more certificates in a couple of days."

Ji Haobo glanced at them, shook his head with a look of disdain.

It's not that he's stingy, but a sharpened knife in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use it is more dangerous than a novice holding a gun.

It's quite possible that you might accidentally poke several holes in your companion without even realizing it, or even lose an arm or a leg yourself.

Ignoring the awkwardness of the others, he turned to look at Lao Hu and his companion.

"You all go down first. Zhang Menzi has already confirmed that it's okay."

As everyone went down one by one, when it was Qiu Dehao's turn, Ji Haobo said earnestly:

"Old Qiu! You really want to go down there? You might not be able to come back up!"

"I...I'm sure I'll continue."

Qiu Dehao hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Have you ever considered that there's no such thing as immortality down there...?"

"I...I know that I basically gave up hope when I got here."

Qiu Dehao closed his eyes, trembling, and after a long while, he let out a bitter laugh and murmured to himself:

"Immortality... How can there be immortality in ruins... How can there be immortality in a tomb?"

Actually, I'd thought of all this a long time ago. If I don't go and see for myself, I'll never be able to let go of this lifelong obsession!
