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

In fact, the mysterious and unpredictable world of underground tombs is full of unexpected events, which is already commonplace for Chen Yibai, a tomb raider.

The dangers of ancient tombs are not limited to theft prevention inside.

Making it impossible for tomb raiders to return is also a form of theft prevention.

Clearly, this tomb of the Gu King used this method; it was easy to get in, but difficult to get out.

Faced with this situation, the only options are to find a weakness and force your way out, or to go all out and completely destroy the tomb of the King of Gu!

As for how to choose?

Chen Yibai looked up at the corpse tower directly in front of him and decisively chose 'the best defense is offense'!

In other words, instead of trying to find a way to survive, it's better to save that energy and give it a shot!

At this point, the entire corpse tower had revealed its original appearance.

From the outside, the dark red tower appears to be pieced together from a mixture of metals such as gold, silver, and copper. It is about 60 to 70 meters tall and does not have any distinct layers from bottom to top.

Chen Yibai didn't have time to examine the details of the patterns on the tower. Instead, he shouted at Zhao Changjun, who was hanging on the rope ladder, "You guys wait here for now. Set a three-hour countdown. If I'm not back by then, then consider calling for reinforcements. Just figure out a way to tear down the roof..."

"Uncovering the top" is a slang term in the tomb raiding industry, meaning to dig up the entire tomb. Modern archaeology basically uses this method, which is relatively less risky and dangerous, but the amount of work is huge and requires a lot of manpower, material resources and time.

For example, this tomb of the King of Gu is located in the primeval area of ​​tropical rainforest, with ancient temple ruins and blood-sucking vines on it. Even with sufficient manpower and resources, it would probably take one or two months to completely uncover the top of this place.

"Captain Chen, where are you going?"

Upon hearing Chen Yibai's words, Zhao Changjun immediately retorted loudly.

Chen Yibai stared at the corpse tower and gritted his teeth, saying, "I'll go in and take another look!"

As he spoke, Chen Yibai suddenly turned around, as if going against the wind, wielding the crimson ancient sword in his hand, cutting a bloody path, and moving closer to the Corpse Tower.

The Corpse Tower is the core of this entire Tomb of the Gu King. If you want to break through this Tomb of the Gu King, you will definitely have to risk going in again.

Chen Yibai originally thought that once they withdrew from the Corpse Tower, they could simply shake hands and make peace.

But since they won't let us leave, we have no choice but to fight back...

On Zhao Changjun's side, watching Chen Yibai being surrounded by a dense mass of mummified corpses and rushing towards the corpse tower, although he didn't quite understand what Chen Yibai was doing, he was deeply moved by Chen Yibai's spirit of 'moth to a flame' when he heard the words "I won't be back for three hours".

As for Chen Yibai's "great unveiling," Zhao Changjun understood what it meant.

But removing the roof is a huge project, isn't it?

Zhao Changjun once watched an archaeological documentary about an eight-meter-deep Western Han Dynasty royal tomb. The first phase of the excavation work alone took hundreds of people almost two months.

Moreover, this is deep in the rainforest. If they were to use the method of tearing down the roof to rescue people, they would probably not last three days, let alone several months. Without food, they probably wouldn't even survive. What kind of rescue is that? It's clearly just coming down to collect corpses!

That's right!

Chen Yibai's original intention was that if he didn't return, he would have the people outside come down to collect his body...

Although modern technology is advanced, if you want to come down from the tunnel to carry out a rescue, unless there are other experts in the same field leading the team, even with modern high technology, one person will die as soon as they come down, and one team will die as soon as they come down!

This can be considered a piece of advice left by Chen Yibai.

The only way to minimize the risk is to come in and collect the bodies by completely removing the roof.

Of course, Chen Yibai certainly didn't want to use this method.

They must be hoping that this time, returning to the Corpse Tower, they can emerge unscathed again...

Under Chen Yibai's overwhelming charge, he carved a bloody path through the encirclement of the mummified corpses and charged back into the corpse tower.

The mummies outside didn't chase after us, as if they had an absolute fear of the corpse tower.

Two loud, muffled explosions had occurred inside the corpse tower previously.

Chen Yibai had no idea what was going on inside, but he had a strong sense of danger.

Even the moment you enter, you can clearly feel an extremely terrifying aura filling the air.

This is the sixth sense of fear and danger of the unknown that comes with being a tomb raider!

Therefore, Chen Yibai was also very cautious. After rushing in, he immediately gripped the crimson ancient sword in his hand and quickly looked around.

The interior of the corpse tower had completely changed from what it had been before.

The vast area of ​​the corpse tower was littered with a pile of broken black bone fragments, so broken that not even a single complete skull remained. Stepping on them instantly turned them into dust.

Without a doubt, these must be the dried corpses that were mistaken for the roots of the Bloodthirsty Vine above our heads. They must have all fallen down after those two muffled explosions.

This also reduces one of the threats.

Just then, two beams of intense white light shone down from above, followed by two familiar voices: "Captain Chen...Captain Chen, save me..."

"Captain Chen, I knew you wouldn't abandon us..."

It's Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan! The shout was incredibly excited, as if they had seen saviors in their despair.

These two are still alive!

However, the fact that the two of them didn't die is a good sign for Chen Yibai.

Chen Yibai quickly looked up.

However, the light from the wolf-eye flashlight was too strong and shone directly down on Chen Yibai, blinding him so much that he couldn't open his eyes. He then cursed, "Damn it, take your flashlights away!"

Chen Yibai was too lazy to speak nicely to them.

In this situation, they probably wouldn't hesitate to call him "Grandpa" without the slightest hesitation.

Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan immediately moved the bright beam of the wolf-eye flashlight away from Chen Yibai.

Chen Yibai looked up again.

All the vine-like roots that were originally above my head have disappeared, and my view has become wider. Looking up, I can see the top of the tower, which is tens of meters high.

Since all the previous mummies had fallen down, this was all within Chen Yibai's expectations.

To Chen Yibai's surprise, the enormous blood vine coffin was still at the top of the tower, appearing to be suspended overhead. The entire coffin had turned blood red, giving it an indescribable sense of malevolent oppression when viewed from above.

It seems that the evil and dangerous aura that Chen Yibai sensed when he returned to the Corpse Tower came from this Blood Vine Coffin!
