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

"It's connected...it's connected..."

Wu Daoshan instinctively exclaimed in surprise.

Because light was shooting out from inside, everyone knew without him saying it that the hole had been blown open.

But how can there be light inside?

Everyone's faces showed surprise.

The crimson light, as red as blood, burst forth from the cave and instantly illuminated the darkness below in a deep crimson hue. Though not very bright, it looked exceptionally eerie.

This immediately reminded Chen Yibai of the blood-red light demon he encountered at the Western Han Dynasty imperial tombs in the Qinling Mountains, but clearly this was not it.

"It...it's calling me..."

Just as everyone was staring at the cave entrance in astonishment, Yan Xuefei suddenly murmured something.

Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan got goosebumps all over and looked at Yan Xuefei at the same time: "Miss Yan, what did you just say?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yibai, who was standing some distance away, couldn't help but turn his gaze toward Yan Xuefei.

Yan Xuefei stared intently at the cave entrance with a strange look in her eyes, as if she were possessed by a ghost. She repeated the same words from before: "It...it's calling me...to live forever...to be as long-lived as the heavens..."

Chen Yibai guessed in his heart that if Yan Xuefei was not possessed by evil spirits or obsessed with seeking immortality, then there was only one possibility left: it was still related to the God-Sealing Mystic Pearl she had swallowed!

Something in the tomb of the Gu King is calling to her!

Immediately, Yan Xuefei's eyes returned to normal, changing from a strange look to a firm one: "That's it! It's right here, up here!"

After hearing Yan Xuefei's words, Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan felt energized.

But the situation above is unclear, so who should go first?

"Knife, go!"

This time, it was Wu Daoshan who spoke.

"Ok!"

Chen Yibai responded readily this time, immediately grabbing the vine and swinging over, preparing to climb up.

As for why they were so quick to go up, there must be a reason. Although the situation up there was unclear, the entrance was so narrow that the last person to go up might face even greater risks than the person up there.

"Wait!"

Just as Chen Yibai was about to climb up, Guan Yunlong suddenly called out to stop him, saying seriously, "I'll go first. The situation up there is unclear, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. You're the weakest here, so you'll have to stay behind..."

"hiss……"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yibai subconsciously took a deep breath. Guan Yunlong actually said something like that? The sun must have risen in the west!

And he's even putting himself last?

The person who was just a tool has suddenly become a key protected individual?

The world is unpredictable; there must be something sinister going on!

Chen Yibai thought about his nickname "Knife Boy" and his eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly.

As he spoke, Guan Yunlong immediately entered the hole above his head, grabbing onto the limbs of the dried corpses at the edge of the hole and quickly climbing upwards.

"Chairman Guan, what's the situation up there?"

Seeing Guan Yunlong climb up, Wu Daoshan hurriedly shouted a question.

Guan Yunlong's voice quickly came from above: "A tree, a coffin... Come up and we'll talk!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a rope was lowered down from the cave.

"I come!"

Just as Wu Daoshan was about to speak, Yan Xuefei stepped in front of him and grabbed the rope first.

After Yan Xuefei climbed up, it took about two minutes, and there was still no movement from above, which meant that it was absolutely safe for the time being.

As soon as the rope was lowered again, Wu Daoshan immediately grabbed the end of the rope.

"Mr. Wu, be careful with your arm injury, are you holding it tight?"

Guan Yunlong's voice came from above, sounding concerned but with a tone of confirmation.

"Okay, hold on tight!"

Wu Daoshan responded, and for safety's sake, he wrapped the rope around his wrists several times.

The opening was fairly wide, and with Yunlong and Yan Xuefei pulling the rope from above, Wu Daoshan's withered body was practically dragged up.

After Wu Daoshan went up, only Chen Yibai remained below.

After the rope was lowered again, Guan Yunlong's voice came through: "Daozi, hurry up! Just hold the rope with both hands!"

"Ok!"

Chen Yibai immediately nodded in response.

Meanwhile, above the cave entrance.

Only Yan Xuefei and Wu Daoshan were pulling the rope, while Guan Yunlong watched from the side.

Feeling the gravity below, Yan Xuefei and Wu Daoshan grabbed the rope with both hands and pulled upwards with all their might.

high speed!

Just then, a head peeked out of the hole at the other end of the rope. Guan Yunlong, who had been prepared in advance, drew his black gold knife with a 'whoosh' and slashed it down at the head!

Guan Yunlong's speed was so fast that Wu Daoshan and Yan Xuefei didn't even have time to react. In the blink of an eye, the black gold knife in Guan Yunlong's hand landed on the head that had just emerged from the cave, decapitating it! A black head was chopped off and rolled a long way.

After Guan Yunlong brought down his knife, Wu Daoshan finally reacted, a chill running down his spine. His first thought was, "Has this guy gone mad? He's attacking his own people? And for no reason at all!"

Even Yan Xuefei was completely bewildered, unable to understand what Guan Yunlong was doing.

After succeeding, Guan Yunlong laughed maniacally: "Hmph, your crude tricks can't fool my eyes! Captain Chen, all that bragging you did on the live stream, looks like you're nothing special after all. Remember to be more careful next time, don't be so blindly confident! Haha...haha..."

Guan Yunlong even laughed a little wildly, secretly admiring his own cleverness.

Actually, after Yan Xuefei answered the call and put it on speakerphone, Guan Yunlong understood the meaning behind it. That's why he deliberately used a fictitious name, "Dao Zai," to test Chen Yibai, and he actually succeeded in getting the information right.

Just as he said on the phone, Guan Yunlong did not alert the enemy, but waited for a suitable opportunity when he was 100% sure of success before launching a sneak attack.

I'm really impressed with my IQ of over 200.

One clean decapitation, a resounding success! Absolutely fantastic!

Amidst his arrogant laughter, Guan Yunlong turned his head to admire his 'masterpiece'.

His head was chopped off with a single blow, and Wu Daoshan and Yan Xuefei worked together to pull up the lower half of his body.

But the corpse tied to the rope was dark and grimy, naked, dry, and uneven, not plump at all.

Something's not right, something's definitely not right!

Guan Yunlong's laughter stopped abruptly, and he suddenly turned his head to look for his head that had just been chopped off.

The head was on the ground just three to five meters away, also dark and dry, with no hair on its head, and a severed vine root in its large mouth!

This isn't Chen Yibai, it's a dried-up corpse!
