Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.
Chapter 168 Corpse Tower
[Host, what was that sound just now? It sounded like an explosion to me!]
Yes, you heard right, it really was an explosion, and it was C4! I use it all the time when I play CrossFire!
[Dude upstairs, you could even hear the C4 explosion? Luckily I was in the military, or I might have actually believed you.]
[Someone's using explosives here! This tomb looks dangerous!]
Don't worry, Captain Chen has already made his move...
[I've figured it out. Lieutenant Chen ostensibly came to explore the tomb, but actually he's here to catch tomb raiders!]
It has to be said that this generation of netizens are all incredibly talented; they can even see that in this.
Following the first-person perspective of the live stream camera, the passageway quickly came to an end.
The passageway ended at a dead end, and ahead lay what appeared to be a massive underground pit, with white light shimmering beneath it.
Chen Yibai carefully bent down, came to the end of the passage, and quietly peeked out to look down.
The pit below was estimated to be forty or fifty meters deep and very large. It didn't seem to be man-made; it was more likely a natural subsidence caused by a special geographical environment.
The ancients were quite impressive to find such a place underground.
What amazed Chen Yibai the most was not this, but the black stone tower that stood in the very center of this huge pit!
The height of this stone tower is exactly the same as the height of the passageway where Chen Yibai is currently located, and it has a total of seventeen floors from top to bottom.
Seventeenth floor?
This is certainly not a coincidence; it corresponds to the seventeen clans and tribes that the ancient Gu Kingdom annexed through war.
In other words, each layer corresponds to a clan or tribe that was once conquered.
What's even more horrifying is that hanging from this seventeen-story black stone tower are many mummies, skeletons, skulls, and some monstrous mummies that are neither human nor non-human. Some have ropes around their necks, while others are simply a dozen or so mummies strung together on an extended iron rod, like decorative pendants.
There were so many that they looked like wishing slips hanging on a wishing tree. If you didn't look closely, you might mistake them for a seventeen-story tower made of piled-up corpses. This terrifying sight gave you goosebumps and sent chills down your spine.
Even Chen Yibai, who had seen many grand occasions, cursed this inhumanity in his heart. Even the human sacrifices of the Xia and Shang dynasties had not been done like this.
Could it be that the Two-Headed Gu King, along with the Gu clan, annihilated seventeen surrounding clans and tribes, intending to capture the people of these seventeen clans and tribes to 'decorate' this seventeen-story stone tower?
Or is it simply 'war glory'?
Chen Yibai knew that there was an evil technique called "gathering yin to nourish a corpse," which involved burying ten thousand people alive and gathering countless vengeful spirits to nourish a single corpse!
But clearly, the current situation is not a case of 'gathering yin to nourish a corpse'.
Because the ancient Gu Kingdom was a different civilization, it believed in evil arts such as Gu magic, Gu poison, and black magic, especially thousands of years ago, and did not have the concept of 'yin and yang ghosts'.
Therefore, this should also be related to some kind of evil Gu magic, trying to achieve some purpose through this method!
This was also the true purpose behind the Two-Headed Gu King's annihilation of seventeen surrounding clans and tribes.
Besides the seventeen-story tower of corpses, the bottom of the deep pit was also covered with a thick layer of yellow and white matter.
The yellow stuff is gold, and the white stuff is silver! There's so much of it that it looks like a mountain of gold and a sea of silver, shimmering with dazzling light.
It seems the records in "The Tomb Raider's Notes" are indeed true. If Cao Cao had been able to find this place back then, he probably would have unified the Three Kingdoms long ago...
【Holy crap, is that all gold and silver underneath?】
[Judging by appearances, that seems to be the case. How many of these are there? Bringing them all out, buying a whole city wouldn't be a problem!]
I feel this is worth at least a year's worth of the nation's GDP!
This streamer is going to be rich!
If I were a streamer, I'd just end the stream if the signal was bad...
The viewers in the live stream almost completely ignored the horror of the seventeen-story corpse tower and immediately focused all their attention on the gold and silver at the bottom of the pit.
Practice has shown that, between death and money, the vast majority of people still prefer the latter.
At the same time, everyone in the police task force meeting room was so shocked that they couldn't sit still!
With so many burial objects, how many museums would we need to build to house them all?
However, compared to their astonishment at the gold and platinum burial objects, the police, through the live broadcast, focused more on the large group of people at the bottom of the pit.
Meanwhile, Chen Yibai was also keeping a close eye on and observing the large group of people below.
After chasing them all the way, they finally spotted the Skywalker Society's trail. They were at the bottom of the deep pit, standing on gold and silver, in front of the gate to the first level of the Corpse Tower. There was a dense crowd of people, probably around 140 or 150, a large force indeed. They were all wearing black rat-patterned clothes, the Skywalker Society's uniform, and carrying backpacks, wolf-eye flashlights, various crowbars and other tools, as well as various firearms.
Unlike what they had seen before, all the core elite members of the Skywalker Society who came this time were wearing hoods and specially treated gas masks, similar to the rosin mask Chen Yibai wore. Judging from their attire and demeanor, someone who didn't know them might mistake them for terrorists.
However, in a sense, this formation can be considered the 'terrorist' force of the tomb raiding world.
Those two consecutive explosions were from them blowing up the gate of the first level of the corpse tower.
At this point, it can be seen that the first level of the Corpse Tower, with its tower door nearly three or four meters high, has been completely smashed open.
There were five or six people standing in front of the tower gate. They should be the core leaders of the Heavenly Path Society. Among them was a familiar figure holding a steel cable. Without a doubt, it was Wu Daoshan, that old bastard.
However, Wu Daoshan was only a veteran member of the Heavenly Path Society; there were even more powerful experts within the society.
This is to be expected, given the sheer size of the tomb raiding organization. Although Wu Daoshan is a descendant of the Faqiu sect, his actual strength is only average.
However, the rest of the people were wearing head coverings and masks, and due to the height and angle, their specific appearances were not clearly visible.
However, besides Wu Daoshan, there was another figure among them who caught Chen Yibai's attention.
Because although that figure was also dressed in black, it wasn't in a rat costume, but rather a tight-fitting black leather outfit, with prominent, bulging muscles on its chest...
That's not muscle, that's a woman!
Chen Yibai's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at the figure, feeling a sense of déjà vu.
