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

Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan lay on top of the blood vine coffin, watching Chen Yibai rampage through the corpse tower, getting closer and closer to them. They felt their chances of being rescued and surviving were growing, and their excitement was palpable.

Less than an hour had passed before Chen Yibai had fought his way to the seventeenth floor.

The height of the seventeenth floor is almost parallel to the suspended blood vine coffin, except that there is a gap of more than ten meters between them.

This seventeenth level is also the clan tribe that the Gu clan established the ancient Gu kingdom through war and was the last to be invaded.

The Gu clan invaded seventeen other clans and tribes, thus establishing the ancient Gu Kingdom.

It is not yet certain whether the seventeen invaded tribes, plus the Gu clan, intentionally created eighteen levels within the Corpse Tower.

At that time, there were only these seventeen clans and tribes in the surrounding area.

Chen Yibai had thought that the seventeenth floor might be even more dangerous than the ones below.

Upon inspection, it was indeed quite different from the sixteen floors below.

Looking around, the seventeenth level of the Corpse Tower didn't have many burial objects; it was just a dense array of stone statues.

These stone statues have a unique shape, all with human bodies and animal faces, baring their teeth and claws, and fierce expressions with wide-open eyes. At first glance, they look a bit like tomb guardian beasts that only became popular in the Tang Dynasty. The bluish-gray stone material should be the same as the stone coffin seen below.

If I'm not mistaken, these stone statues are probably similar in meaning to tomb guardian beasts, or perhaps they are deities worshipped and revered by the Gu clan.

What surprised Chen Yibai the most was that, apart from the densely packed stone statues, there were no stone coffins or rice dumplings on the seventeenth floor. Instead, there were spiral staircases at each of the eight corners of the corpse tower leading to the top floor.

There are no stone coffins or rice dumplings, only a spiral staircase?

And there's one at each of the eight corners?

Chen Yibai frowned, glanced at the spiral staircase, and then turned his gaze back to the various shapes and densely packed stone statues.

Based on Chen Yibai's intuition and premonition, it's unlikely that all eight spiral staircases lead to the eighteenth floor!

The presence of these stone statues might just be another dangerous killing formation!

If you make the wrong choice, you may be forced into a trap.

At the same time, Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan, who were lying on the blood vine coffin, took out the hemp ropes they had prepared in advance, and tied an anchor hook to the ropes. They shouted loudly towards Chen Yibai, "Captain Chen, the ropes..."

According to Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan, Chen Yibai was to help catch the rope and then find a place to secure it so that the two of them could climb over along the rope.

After Chen Yibai arrived on the seventeenth floor, he didn't glance at the two of them once, and even ignored their words as if they were air.

Chen Yibai's indifferent attitude immediately made Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan feel uneasy, with a bad premonition.

Wu Daoshan quickly called out again, "Captain Chen, stop studying this! We need to get out of here as soon as possible..."

Hearing the two men's shouts, Chen Yibai said coldly with some impatience, "You two just wait up there. Anyway, you'll get shot if you go out. Staying here will allow you to live a little longer!"

Guan Yunlong: "???"

Wu Daoshan: "???"

Going out means you'll get shot? What kind of talk is that?

Hearing Chen Yibai's cold-blooded words, Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan froze on the spot, as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water from head to toe, and the lifeline they were holding had suddenly snapped at the root.

So you didn't come up here to save us from falling down?

Wouldn't that be a waste of facial expressions?

Guan Yunlong suddenly seemed to remember something, and stared at Chen Yibai with wide eyes, asking, "Captain Chen, you...you're live streaming?"

"OK!"

Chen Yibai didn't bother with any more small talk. He simply pulled out the live-streaming camera from the crevice of his backpack, pointed it at Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan lying on the blood vine coffin, and grinned, "Want to say hello to my fans in the live stream? There are tens of millions of people here..."

When Chen Yibai took out the live streaming camera, Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan were so frightened that their faces changed drastically, and they quickly covered their faces with their hands.

[Haha... These two are hilarious. They're actually afraid of showing their faces. Don't they know that Captain Chen has already broadcasted their tomb raiding operation live?]

【Show your face, little one!】

[Ah Zu, stop! There are police everywhere outside!]

These two were going to die anyway, even Jesus couldn't save them, I'm telling you!

Viewers in the live stream burst into laughter at Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan's comical and flustered expressions and actions on camera.

Guan Yunlong seemed to realize that Chen Yibai's live stream was definitely not new, and there was no point in covering his face now. He had originally planned to just give Chen Yibai a good scolding to vent his anger since that was the case.

But then he thought again that he was secretly possessing tens of thousands of top-tier national treasures. If he voluntarily handed them all over, it would be considered a confession and might save him from the death penalty.

So Guan Yunlong simply faced the live broadcast camera and shouted, "Captain Chen, please give me a chance. Take me out of here. I want to be a good person and hand over all my tens of thousands of national treasure-level antiques. If I die here, my tens of thousands of top-tier national treasures will be buried forever. Please give me a chance to forgive me..."

Guan Yunlong is now essentially betting his life on those tens of thousands of national treasure-level antiques.

And these words weren't just spoken to Chen Yibai; they were also directed at the live stream camera.

It has to be said that Guan Yunlong is very cunning. As soon as he said this, the whole internet knows that he has tens of thousands of national treasure-level antiques. What does that mean?

Even the entire Forbidden City wouldn't dare claim to have tens of thousands of national treasure-level antiques and cultural relics.

This means that if Chen Yibai cannot bring Guan Yunlong out alive, it will be a catastrophic loss for the antique and cultural relics community.

Chen Yibai naturally understood Guan Yunlong's little scheme.

If we think about it this way, if we have the chance, it would really be necessary to take him out alive.

But certainly not now.

Moreover, you certainly can't believe everything he says.

"You'd better stay up there. If you want forgiveness, that's up to your own fate!"

Chen Yibai said coldly, put the live broadcast camera back into the gap of his backpack, and then focused his gaze on the southwest direction of the seventeenth-floor corpse tower.

The southwest direction is the Death Gate.

According to the inverted rules of Qimen Dunjia, the Death Gate is the Life Gate.

In this situation of complete ignorance, all we can do is try our luck according to the inverted rules of Qimen Dunjia!
