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

Chen Yibai has been back in the Corpse Tower for about two hours and is still on the third floor.

If things continue at this pace, it's hard to say how long it will take to climb to the top of the tower.

Making the special forces outside wait a little longer is a minor matter.

The key point is that Chen Yibai has been down here for almost two days and two nights. Even with the special enhanced physique of having the bloodline of the Candle Dragon, he can clearly feel the fatigue in his spirit and physical strength, and even his eyes are full of bloodshot veins.

Therefore, we must move quickly from here on out.

Otherwise, if you drag yourself up to the top of the tower half-dead and then encounter some particularly difficult trouble, it would be tantamount to going up there to your death!

Chen Yibai entered the stone coffin, used his limbs to support himself against the walls, and climbed up to a height of two or three meters. Then, he used the crimson ancient sword to pry open the loose stone slabs and quickly climbed up.

Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan helped provide illumination with wolf-eye flashlights.

This fourth layer is almost identical in layout to the ones below.

To be precise, the layout of each floor is roughly the same, the only difference being the style of the various burial objects placed there, since each floor represents an independent primitive tribal culture.

For example, on this floor, the first thing Chen Yibai saw when he climbed up was the stark white skeletons, mostly the skeletons and skulls of various animals, with the most eye-catching being a huge pile of complete ivory tusks.

Clearly, this is a tribe that reveres elephants, as elephants are typically a symbol of power.

Elephants have existed in southern Yunnan since ancient times, and there are records of hunting elephants and using ivory as an important sacrificial offering. For example, the sacrificial pits at Sanxingdui yielded mostly ivory.

During the Shang Dynasty thousands of years ago, this may have been an extinct elephant species, with a single tusk exceeding five meters in length!

"Captain Chen, watch out!"

Just then, Guan Yunlong suddenly shouted down, and the wolf-eye flashlight in his hand shone behind Chen Yibai.

Chen Yibai had also noticed the movement behind him in advance. He suddenly turned around and saw a huge black figure with an animal skin wrapped around its waist. It was as tall as a small mountain and was swinging a five or six-meter-long tusk down towards his head.

The tusk had been modified, retaining its sharp horn while having a row of sharp serrations carved on both sides, making it look very unusual and special.

However, Chen Yibai didn't have time to study it in detail. Because he was unsure of how strong the force was, he didn't block it head-on as a precaution, but instead did a backflip to dodge it.

The huge ivory tusk crashed to the ground with a loud 'boom,' a sound like a mountain collapsing and rocks splitting.

Fortunately, I didn't try to block it head-on.

The instant the ivory slammed to the ground, Chen Yibai swiftly charged forward and slashed at the ivory with his sword.

At the same time, Chen Yibai finally got a clear look at the huge black figure.

It was a giant meat dumpling nearly three meters tall, with its skin cracked and black all over, and its strong muscles bulging like hills, exaggerated to the point of being grotesque. On its head was an elephant skull, with only a pair of scarlet eyes showing, wide open in anger, with a fierce look like a prehistoric beast unleashed from its cage.

As expected of a tribe that reveres strength, this naturally gifted individual is indeed qualified to be the tribe's leader.

But even with all your fierceness, in the end you still ended up being buried alive with someone else, becoming a mascot for the tomb?

As for the crimson ancient sword in Chen Yibai's hand, it struck the sharp corner of the ivory and cut it in half, but only a few tens of centimeters were cut off.

But it's not a big problem. Since it can be easily cut, it means it's just ordinary ivory, so there's not much to worry about.

The elephant-headed rice dumpling then stomped its feet fiercely again, brandishing its ivory tusks as it swung them at Chen Yibai.

Chen Yibai seized the opportunity and charged forward, first stabbing the elephant-headed rice dumpling's left leg joint with his sword, and then gouging it out.

You know the story of Butcher Ding carving up an ox, right? The leg joints of any animal have the most fragile cartilage tissue.

If the incision is made precisely, it can sever tendons and break bones.

With a loud crack, the leg bone of the elephant-headed rice dumpling, which was slightly thicker than a water bucket, snapped, and its body collapsed forward like a small mountain.

All of this was within Chen Yibai's expectations. He quickly took a few steps forward, holding the crimson ancient sword horizontally with the blade facing upwards.

The falling elephant-headed rice dumpling landed squarely on the sharp blade, its neck striking the blade directly, and the head wearing the elephant's skull was severed from its neck.

This can be considered a one-hit kill.

Unfortunately, the live stream wasn't a panoramic shot, so while the viewers were still worried about Chen Yibai, they hadn't even realized what was happening when they saw a severed head roll into the screen. The eyes hidden inside the elephant's skull were still wide open, looking like something out of a horror movie.

Only Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan, who were above, saw the whole process clearly. They were so frightened by Chen Yibai's actions that their chrysanthemums tightened. At the same time, they were relieved that it was wise of them to kneel down and beg for mercy earlier. If they had really broken off relations and fought back, they would probably have ended up in the same situation.

Chen Yibai stood up and sheathed his sword, only glancing coldly at the corpse on the ground. He had no interest in admiring his masterpiece, nor did he linger, and quickly continued climbing.

Each of these layers contains the clan and tribal leaders who were buried alive with the Gu King. They were all extremely fierce and were giant, thousand-year-old meat dumplings. For ordinary tomb raiders, it might be difficult to take down just one of them, but in Chen Yibai's eyes, they were all just small kalami who could be killed in one move.

So next up is Chen Yibai's performance of unleashing his rampage through the Corpse Tower!

As he climbed each floor, almost every rice dumpling he encountered was instantly and violently killed by Chen Yibai with just one sword. It was a one-sided and overwhelming crushing defeat!

This gave the viewers in the live stream a real treat. The entire episode was tightly woven with action and no dull moments. The violent killing scenes, though not bloody, still got the viewers on the edge of their seats, with their eyes glued to the screen, not even daring to blink.

Even various entertainment industries online are recording these entire sessions and using them as material to create movies, animations, and games.

Most importantly, this doesn't require copyright fees.

Meanwhile, the archaeologists and antique industry insiders followed Chen Yibai's first-person perspective, their eyes gleaming as they looked at the various burial objects piled up on each layer.

The significance of this for cultural archaeology is self-evident.
