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

To conserve energy and finish the battle quickly, you must make sure every move hits its mark.

The flares had been extinguished, and the entire cave was once again shrouded in darkness. Only a dozen or so flashlights shone their beams, but the range of illumination was very small.

In that same short time, it seemed that all the child sacrificial corpses in the pool had climbed ashore. In the darkness-shrouded cave, the sheer number of them was impossible to determine; all that could be heard were piercing, sharp screams.

"call……"

In the darkness, Chen Yibai frantically swung his sword while taking deep breaths, trying to conserve his energy by adjusting his breathing.

Fortunately, these child sacrificial corpses were just ordinary little rice dumplings. Apart from their large number and frightening cries, they didn't pose much of a threat to Chen Yibai. They were like a tangled mess, and he could just swing his sword and hack away.

On the archaeological team's side, each person had a flashlight and shone it randomly among the dark mass of child sacrificial corpses, all trying to keep their eyes fixed on Chen Yibai.

Because as long as I see Chen Yibai still standing there, I feel safe.

Chen Yibai became the team's "reassurance." Once they couldn't see him, their hearts felt like they were hanging in the air, completely uncertain.

However, Chen Yibai's speed was too fast, and the beam of the flashlight simply couldn't keep up.

All that could be seen were round heads flying around in the air, and piles of decapitated corpses lying on the ground like a tangled mess.

The stench of decay in the air was nauseating, and the extremely bloody and brutal scenes were chilling.

As the heads of the child sacrificial corpses were severed and the bodies fell, the piercing cries from the cave gradually subsided.

Until finally, the sound was completely silenced.

The cave returned to silence, a deathly silence.

In the deathly silence, one could faintly hear very heavy breathing.

Where is Chen Yibai?

The archaeological team quickly shone their flashlights around and found the ground littered with decapitated corpses. The children's sacrificial corpses had their heads severed, but their eyes were still glaring, their gazes empty.

"Mr. Chen!"

One of the beams of white light shone on Chen Yibai.

Wang Haichuan shouted excitedly.

At this moment, Wang Haichuan felt that the best thing he had ever done in his life was to invite Chen Yibai to be his special consultant.

After returning, I didn't even mention giving Chen Yibai's live stream the number one spot on the leaderboard for a whole month.

He had been at the top of the leaderboard for a whole year. If he hesitated for even a second, it would be disrespectful to Captain Chen.

At this moment, Chen Yibai was holding the hilt of the bronze sword with both hands, pressing the bronze sword against the ground, without the dashing demeanor and high-class style that one would expect when standing proudly atop a corpse.

Instead, he squatted on the ground, supporting his body with his bronze sword, panting heavily.

After confirming that the danger had passed, Yan Wanlei immediately led the special operations team over.

Not only Wang Haichuan, but Yan Wanlei also felt admiration for Chen Yibai at this moment.

There aren't many people who can earn Yan Wanlei's respect.

But there are definitely fewer masters who have this skill and can kill a hundred corpses with a single sword.

"Mr. Chen, are you alright?"

Yan Wanlei reached out to help Chen Yibai up.

Chen Yibai, panting heavily, shook his head: "Water...water..."

Now Chen Yibai is not only panting heavily from exhaustion, but also feeling weak and limp all over; he has been completely drained.

This body's physical fitness is really too weak. If there were a few dozen more child sacrificial corpses, Chen Yibai felt that he might not be able to withstand it.

This "three-second real man" is really disgusting. I must take care of myself and improve my physical fitness when I get back.

Yan Wanlei quickly took out a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it to Chen Yibai.

Seeing Chen Yibai covered in sweat and gulping down mineral water, Yan Wanlei was quite surprised. He had seen people get injured in fights before, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone so exhausted.

The key point is that the whole thing... only took about ten minutes, right?

Is the bronze sword too heavy?

Or is it that those meat grinder-like moves are too physically demanding?

"What a load of rubbish! He has gigabytes of torrents on his computer hard drive, watches suggestive live streams every day, and his trash can is overflowing with toilet paper. It's no wonder he's so weak..."

It seems that only Qiu Jing, who was standing next to him, had some 'understanding' of Chen Yibai.

After all, the impression Qiu Jing had of seeing used toilet paper all over the floor when she first went to Chen Yibai's rented room was too deep.

But putting that aside for now, Chen Yibai's abilities did indeed give Qiu Jing a new perspective.

"Mr. Chen, are we safe now?"

Wang Haichuan came over at this moment and asked Chen Yibai.

Chen Yibai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, nodded, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag: "If this is the only thing in the pool, then there's no danger for the time being."

As he spoke, Chen Yibai turned his head to look at the pool next to him.

The pool had almost returned to its original calm.

But Chen Yibai was also surprised to find that the water level in the pool seemed a little off.

Then, turning his head to look at a 'ground pillar' not far away, he saw that the pillar had protruded nearly forty centimeters, almost twice as tall as before.

Do not!

It's not that the pillars have grown taller, but rather that the water level in the pool has dropped.

"Mr. Chen, the water level in this pool seems to have dropped!"

Wang Haichuan followed Chen Yibai's gaze and looked at the 'Yingdi Pillar', and immediately noticed this detail as well.

As the water level dropped, the copper chain that Chen Yibai had just mentioned, which was fixed to the 'Yingdi Pillar', also surfaced.

The copper chain, covered in red and green rust, was as thick as an adult's wrist.

And this is true for all eight 'Earth Pillars'.

If you only heard Chen Yibai describe it, it wouldn't be spectacular enough, but seeing eight thick and long copper chains in person now is truly awe-inspiring.

Especially for archaeological experts who are obsessed with studying ancient artifacts, witnessing such a scene, which they might never see in their lifetime, is an incredible stroke of luck.

So much so that Wang Haichuan felt that if he could see the true form of the coffin being pulled down by those eight copper chains in the pool again, he would be willing to die on the spot.

Chen Yibai was equally shocked and excited.

But what Chen Yibai was more concerned about now was: "Why did the water level suddenly drop?"

The fact that hundreds of child sacrificial corpses crawled out of the pool, causing the water level to drop by 20 centimeters, seems a bit too far-fetched.

Chen Yibai then shone his flashlight on the pool and searched carefully.

As a result, Chen Yibai saw a distinct whirlpool in the very center of the pool, about one meter in diameter, like a hole in the bottom of a bucket, with water leaking out rapidly.

"There's a hole below, and the water is leaking down!"

Wang Haichuan was so excited when he saw the swirling current in the middle of the pool that he almost jumped up.

Because the pool is leaking water, if the water in the pool runs out, then we will finally be able to see the coffin we have been dreaming of.

"Why would it leak water for no reason?"

Yan Wanlei, standing next to him, frowned, looking quite surprised.

The world is unpredictable and there must be something sinister about it, especially in a place like this, which made Yan Wanlei very cautious.

Chen Yibai stubbed out his cigarette and chuckled, "You threw two grenades into the pool just now, how could that happen for no reason? There should be two secret passages at the bottom of this pool. One of them is blocked, leaving the other one open. Water will flow in, and if the blockage is opened, the water will flow back. It's a kind of mechanism similar to a siphon effect!"

After hearing Chen Yibai's words, Yan Wanlei finally realized what he meant and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Captain Yan, do you have any more grenades?"

Chen Yibai suddenly asked another question.

"what?"

Yan Wanlei didn't quite understand what Chen Yibai meant by asking this question.

"Throw two more down to blast the blockage below bigger. This pool is at least several meters deep. If we just wait like this, how long will it take?"

The water level dropped by about 20 centimeters in just over ten minutes, and by one meter every hour. We can't just sit here and wait all day, can we?

"No, what if we blow up the coffin underneath!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Haichuan immediately voiced his objection.

This is the first time someone has expressed opposition to Chen Yibai.

"What destruction? The grenade couldn't possibly sink to the bottom of the pool before detonating. The seal below was cracked by the shockwave. Even if you wanted to blow up the coffin, you couldn't!"

Chen Yibai glanced at Wang Haichuan and said.

That makes sense!

Yan Wanlei nodded in agreement.

In fact, Wang Haichuan was also very impatient and naturally couldn't wait for several hours, or even more than ten hours.

So after hearing Chen Yibai's words, he didn't respond.

"Xiao Hu, do you have any more grenades?" Yan Wanlei asked.

"Captain Yan, there are four left!" Xiao Hu replied.

"Try throwing one down!"
