Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

The special forces' first-person perspective of the operation was also simultaneously transmitted to the command center.

Liu Shi felt nervous looking at the group of frenzied tomb raiders below.

It's hard to imagine that in today's society, there are still such crazy tomb raiders. They're practically ruthless bandits!

However, this was only what Liu Shi saw as tomb raiders.

In fact, in the eyes of special forces soldiers, these are nothing more than small-scale incidents compared to the truly vicious extremists they faced in previous international peacekeeping missions.

The armed helicopter immediately turned around and fired several stun grenades and smoke grenades at the ground.

This shows that in the face of absolute thermal power, everything else is insignificant.

If it weren't for protecting cultural relics on the ground, it might not have been as simple as using stun grenades and smoke grenades; it would have been a direct, indiscriminate bombardment with rockets.

Boom boom boom...

With several deafening explosions, the power of the stun grenades covered almost the entire area, and the tomb raiders below with guns were instantly knocked over.

Immediately afterwards, smoke bombs enveloped the entire ancient temple.

After some initial setup, the special forces quickly descended from helicopters via zip lines, densely packed together like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

It's a pity this scene wasn't broadcast live online; otherwise, such a spectacle would have definitely garnered a huge following across the internet and significantly dampened the arrogance of the perpetrators.

Fortunately, this scene was not broadcast live across the entire internet, because this moment of brilliance only lasted for a few seconds.

As soon as the special forces landed around the ancient temple, the surrounding bloodthirsty vines instantly transformed into giant, resurrected pythons, waving wildly and baring their fangs as they attacked the special forces.

These special forces soldiers had all watched Chen Yibai's live stream beforehand, so they anticipated this would happen and made preparations in advance, immediately taking out their extended tactical knives.

Special forces soldiers are typically equipped with tactical knives that are about ten to twenty centimeters long, making them easy to insert into boots or legs for emergency use.

This extended tactical knife is similar in shape to a regular tactical knife, with a blade on one side and a serrated blade on the other. It is forged using modern advanced technology and incorporates multiple metal elements, representing the most advanced forging technology in the world today!

To put it simply, it's the sharpest tactical knife in the world today. While it might not be as exaggerated as cutting through iron like mud, it can easily sever a cow's leg bone with a single stroke.

I saw in the live stream that Chen Yibai was wielding a longsword and easily cutting down these bloodthirsty vines, so this tactical knife must be even more effective at it.

In short, the special forces firmly believed that although they didn't know as much about ancient tombs as the anchor Chen Xiaowei, when it came to practical skills, since he could do it, they could still copy his methods.

Moreover, the copy is even more beautiful than Captain Chen's original work!

But when faced with the Bloodthirsty Vine, which was like a raging python, baring its fangs and claws, the special forces soldier slashed fiercely with his tactical knife, but the effect was completely different from what he saw in the live broadcast.

Let alone cutting it in one stroke, this slash only managed to cut into the wrist-thick Bloodthirsty Vine to a third of its depth before it got stuck!

"What's happening here?"

The special forces soldier looked surprised. Why did this top-of-the-line high-tech forged tactical knife not seem as sharp as the longsword in Captain Chen's hand?

If this special forces soldier knew that the sword in Chen Yibai's hand was from more than three thousand years ago, he would be even more surprised.

Practice has proven that modern high technology is no match for ancient traditional skills in some aspects; it's just a pity that they haven't been passed down.

"careful!"

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind to warn him.

But his reaction was too slow. A bloodthirsty vine instantly wrapped around the special forces soldier and tightened suddenly, like a knot being tightly tied.

click!

Under immense force, the special forces soldier's entire waist instantly cracked with a series of crisp sounds as bones broke. With a painful scream, his entire upper body bent over in a folded position.

The scene didn't end there. Some special forces soldiers had their limbs wrapped around the bloodthirsty vines at the same time, and then were suddenly pulled in the opposite direction. The terrifying force directly tore off their limbs at the joints.

Some had their necks wrapped around their heads, and their heads were instantly twisted off, blood spurting out and filling the air with a bloody mist.

In an instant, this place turned into a terrifying battlefield, completely different from the original plan.

I clearly saw Captain Chen's live stream before, and he cut down these bloodthirsty vines so gracefully. Why did it turn out like this when it happened to me?

"Use a saw! Use a saw!"

"Reporting to the headquarters, reporting to the headquarters, there's been an accident at the scene... there's been an accident at the scene..."

Seeing the situation, the squad leader quickly switched his walkie-talkie to full-channel mode, temporarily directing tactics while reporting the situation to his superiors.

The first special forces team to come down quickly switched the back of their tactical knives and began sawing wildly at the Bloodthirsty Vines.

But this also takes time; facing the bloodthirsty vines all around, it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot—a drop in the ocean.

"Blast! Use blast!"

At that moment, instructions from superiors came through the walkie-talkie.

This was because I had watched Captain Chen's live stream before and learned that the roots of these Bloodthirsty Vines were dried corpses. As long as the roots were dealt with, the entire Bloodthirsty Vines would wither and die instantly.

Upon receiving the order, the special forces team quickly took out grenades from their bodies and frantically threw them in all directions, switching to using grenades to clear a path.

This trick is indeed effective. Although the explosive power of the grenade is not very great, as long as the mummified corpse under the roots of the Bloodthirsty Vine is within the effective blast range of the grenade, it can instantly shatter the mummified corpse and at the same time the entire Bloodthirsty Vine will wither instantly.

These are all experiences I gained from watching Captain Chen's live stream.

Therefore, having Captain Chen conduct a live scouting operation was an absolutely correct choice!

For a time, explosions rang out all around the ancient temple, and dust flew everywhere. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought it was an extremely fierce battle just by hearing the sounds!

In fact, it was indeed a fierce 'battle,' just not a direct clash of firepower.

It's a clash between modern weaponry and ancient gu techniques!

It was also a fierce battle spanning thousands of years...

Fortunately, the Heavenly Path Society and Chen Yibai had already come beforehand and left a way out.

In addition, the special forces' airdrop was quite precise, so they did not suffer too many casualties and successfully used explosives to open up a truly safe path to reach the ancient temple.

Inside the ancient temple, including the cave entrance below, members of the Skywalker Society were guarding with guns, but the stun grenades and continuous grenade explosions that cleared the way had already scared them away.

Seeing so many special forces soldiers charging in fully armed with live ammunition, they all wisely refrained from making any further futile resistance, laying down their weapons and surrendering with their heads in their hands.

Even if captured alive, the maximum sentence would be ten or eight years.

At least it's better than losing your life, right?
