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

The continuous explosions above also reached down to a depth of more than ten meters.

Guan Yunlong knew something was wrong as soon as he heard this. He knew his men's equipment better than anyone else, and there simply weren't that many grenades.

Therefore, there is only one possibility: that his actions have been completely exposed and the police have arrived.

Do not!

It's probably not the police, but the military...

Things turned out worse than Guan Yunlong had imagined; the tons of gold and silver outside were definitely not going to be transported out.

So now there's only one way out, and that's to keep pushing forward!

"Chairman Guan, we need to speed up our actions!"

Not only Guan Yunlong, but Yan Xuefei also thought of this. As for the unclear phone call with her godfather Yan Tianjiu, she didn't have time to think about it anymore.

If I continue analyzing, I might find myself facing the dark muzzle of a gun and silver handcuffs.

To put it another way, even in the worst-case scenario, as long as the secret to immortality through the art of Gu is found, what does it matter if the police catch him and sentence him to thirty or fifty years?

"Hurry, climb up!"

Guan Yunlong nodded, looked away from Chen Yibai, and to make it easier to grip the vines with both hands, he simply put the wolf-eye flashlight in his mouth.

If I had known this would happen, I would have brought a headlamp in advance.

Seeing that he hadn't been exposed yet, Chen Yibai decided to continue playing with them a little longer.

However, Chen Yibai was definitely more cautious and had to be on guard against them at all times.

Caution! This is Chen Yibai's greatest personality trait, and also his means of survival.

After all, Chen Yibai wasn't sure whether Guan Yunlong's earlier call of "Dao Zai" and his initiative to acknowledge him was a test.

The three of them, with thousands of schemes combined, still couldn't be prevented!

Meanwhile, the vines overhead were so dense that they almost completely blocked the view upwards, and no one knew how high they were or what kind of strange things were up there.

From the outside, the entire corpse tower appears to be about 60 or 70 meters tall.

If these vines are hanging down from the top of the corpse tower, then they have only climbed about twenty meters high so far, with nearly forty or fifty meters still to go.

Chen Yibai wasn't afraid of the height itself, but rather worried that if all the vines suddenly broke just as he was about to reach the top, falling from that height of sixty or seventy meters wouldn't be as simple as just being scattered in pieces.

This is not something that is absolutely impossible.

So at this moment, Chen Yibai felt as if his life was hanging in the balance, and he could only let an invisible hand manipulate him from behind.

With this feeling of trepidation, Chen Yibai climbed another twenty meters or so until he finally saw the top!

At the same time, Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan behind them shone the wolf-eye flashlights they were holding in their mouths directly onto the ceiling.

After seeing the scene at the top clearly, everyone, including Chen Yibai, showed expressions of extreme horror and shock.

As the saying goes, good things should be shared.

As a professional streamer, I definitely need to provide the curious viewers in the live stream with a first-person perspective.

So Chen Yibai moved the live-streaming camera hidden in the gap of his backpack and adjusted the angle to be just right.

In addition, the strong white light from several wolf-eye flashlights made the live stream footage very clear.

[Holy crap! Are these people even human? This is terrifying!]

[Damn! Isn't this the Bloodthirsty Vine that Captain Chen explained about before, cultivated by living people? But why isn't it moving?]

[This looks a bit like a human fence to me.]

This is fucking terrifying, I can't watch it anymore... I can't watch it anymore... If I keep watching, it will really leave me with lifelong psychological trauma.

Eyes: I can't look anymore! Brain: I want to look! Trembling hands: I can't tear my eyes away!

If this were made into a movie, wouldn't it be a box office smash?

Although Chen Yibai didn't take out his phone to look at it, he could imagine the reactions of netizens who saw the scene before them.

That's right!

The top was covered with mummies, almost identical to those seen above, but even more numerous. They were all face down, directly facing Chen Yibai below. Some had their limbs intertwined like braids, while others were piled up on top of each other, with no support in between, completely covering the top layer.

And these vines hanging down grew from the mouths and bellies of these mummies!

Why do these vines look different from the Bloodthirsty Vines outside, and why don't they attack?

"Living Dead Vines! They're all living dead vines!"

At this moment, Guan Yunlong below shouted in surprise.

The "living dead vine" that Guan Yunlong mentioned should be the same "bloodthirsty vine" that Chen Yibai just explained in the live broadcast. They are the same thing, just with different names.

Therefore, it can be seen that these individuals only had a superficial understanding of the tomb of the Gu King.

"Miss Yan, did you stop these living dead vines from moving? Why haven't you mentioned this before?"

Guan Yunlong then immediately asked Yan Xuefei.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yibai was immediately surprised. No wonder their Tianxing Society's team of two hundred people had arrived here so easily; it turned out that Yan Xuefei possessed this ability.

But then again, why were so many members of the Heavenly Path Society almost wiped out by the Japanese outside the Corpse Tower, and what about that Gu monkey?

Yan Xuefei immediately said, "No! Ever since I went down here, I've lost that connection..."

Is there still a connection?

Chen Yibai became increasingly confused as he listened, and the more he listened, the more he felt that there was something about Yan Xuefei! It must still be related to the Divine Pearl that she had swallowed!

"If it wasn't you, then why aren't these living dead vines moving?"

Guan Yunlong asked another question in surprise.

Everyone was silent for a while.

Chen Yibai had a guess in his heart: these should not be bloodthirsty vines or living dead vines, or rather, they should not be vines at all, but roots!

That's right! Based on Chen Yibai's guess, it's most likely the roots!

The mummified corpses above are like 'soil'! The real organisms are growing on top, so your current position is like being 'underground'!

"What do we do now? We can't get up there either!"

Wu Daoshan then took the wolf-eye flashlight and shone it around his head.

The entire top of his head was piled with mummified corpses, which looked extremely terrifying. It was as if they were floating in mid-air above his head, and they were piled up so tightly that there was no way to go upwards.

"dig!"

Yan Xuefei gritted her teeth and squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth, her expression dark and vicious.

挖？

Does this mean they forcibly dug a hole through the pile of mummies on top of them?

Digging tunnels from the bottom up—Yan Xuefei seems to have a lot of experience with that…
