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

Chen Yibai directed Brother Chicken and his underlings to lead the way, and they wandered around the tunnel for about half an hour.

The scale of this 'Eight Trigrams Dragon Locking Formation' is larger than Chen Yibai expected.

But this is normal.

The ancient tombs of that time were not mainly guarded against by tomb raiding gangs of thirty or fifty people, but rather by tomb raiding armies of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, such as the "Tomb Raider Captains".

Therefore, the larger the scale of the ancient tomb, the safer it would be.

For example, this massive and intricately designed "Bagua Dragon Locking Formation" can easily trap thousands of people without any problem.

"Captain Chen, why do you insist on going to the archaeological team? If the items in this tomb fall into their hands, they will all have to be handed over. You won't get much money at all. What are you after? Five hundred yuan and a banner? The items in this tomb are worth hundreds of millions!"

Chicken Bro walked ahead, still trying to awaken Chen Yibai's 'conscience' as a tomb raider.

For Brother Chicken, a tomb raider, to collude with an archaeological team for 500 yuan and a banner is an immense disgrace to the tomb raiding world!

Chen Yibai glanced at Chicken Brother but ignored him.

Grave robbing isn't always about money; there are many things more important than money.

But saying too much is like talking to a brick wall, a waste of breath.

Seeing that Chen Yibai didn't respond, Brother Chicken wisely didn't dare to continue rambling, afraid of annoying Chen Yibai and getting into trouble again.

"Turn left ahead!"

After walking through several more passages, Chen Yibai looked at the corner of the passageway directly ahead. As expected, the 'Kun' position was just ahead.

However, there are six dead ends in the 'Kun' position, so it may take some time to find Yan Wanlei and the others.

Fortunately, this is just a 'Bagua Dragon Locking Formation'. Apart from the intricate maze-like passageways, there are no other traps or dangers. Yan Wanlei and the others should still be alive.

"There's light ahead!"

That is, the younger brother in front turned around at the corner of the passageway and was shocked to see something in front of him, so he exclaimed in surprise.

"who is it!"

Immediately afterward, it seemed that the other end of the passageway also heard the sound from here, and a surprised question suddenly came from the other side.

The voice was deep, resonant, and highly recognizable; it belonged to Yan Wanlei.

Found them! We finally found them!

Hearing Yan Wanlei's voice coming from the passageway ahead, Chen Yibai smiled bitterly. At least his reputation as a tomb raider was preserved.

"Captain Yan, it's me!"

Chen Yibai quickly responded in a loud voice.

Although Chen Yibai's voice is not as deep and resonant as Yan Wanlei's, it is clear, articulate, and powerful, making it very distinctive.

"It's Mr. Chen, we're here...we're here..."

Immediately following from the other end of the passageway came Wang Haichuan's excited and enthusiastic response.

Even without seeing him, just by listening to his voice, one can imagine how excited Wang Haichuan was.

Following the sound, a series of footsteps came running towards them.

Leading the group was Yan Wanlei, followed by the special operations team that had been separated for the first time.

When Yan Wanlei appeared from another corner of the passageway, the first thing he saw under the beam of his headlamp was not Chen Yibai, but four henchmen who had been stripped naked except for a pair of floral underwear.

Where did all these people come from?

What kind of design is this?

What about Chen Yibai?

Unaware of the situation, Yan Wanlei was startled and instinctively raised his Type 95 rifle.

The four henchmen at the front were also frightened by this display and quickly raised their hands in surrender.

"Captain Yan, I'm here..."

Chen Yibai smiled and squeezed his way to the front from behind his four underlings.

"Hey, Xiao Hu? Qiu Jing?"

Chen Yibai was surprised to see that Xiao Hu and Qiu Jing, who had been separated the first time, were actually with Yan Wanlei: "When did you guys reunite?"

"I ended up in this place in a completely daze!"

Yan Wanlei put down his gun when he saw Chen Yibai, and looked at Brother Chicken and the others with great surprise.

Before Yan Wanlei could ask, Chen Yibai briefly explained Chicken Brother's situation in a few words.

When Yan Wanlei and Wang Haichuan heard that the archaeological team had been followed by tomb raiders, their eyes widened in astonishment, and their jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

What a daring tomb raider!

That's not even the point.

The key issue is that there was a traitor within the archaeological expert team.

At this moment, Sun Dachang, who was standing next to him, looked at Brother Chicken and his face had turned pale. He was trembling and sweating profusely.

Colluding with tomb raiders is considered an accomplice, not only ruining one's future but also potentially leading to a lifetime of imprisonment.

"Sun Dachang, did you bring them here?"

Wang Haichuan turned and glared angrily at Sun Dachang beside him.

It is utterly despicable for archaeological experts to secretly collude with tomb raiders.

"I……"

Sun Dachang was so frightened that he was speechless for a moment, then quickly recovered and explained in a panic, "Professor Wang, I... I was threatened, I was threatened. If I didn't agree, they would kill my whole family. I really had no choice..."

Not only did they rob tombs, but they also committed murder?

"Fuck you! You were the one who asked for three million..."

Upon hearing Sun Dachang's words, Brother Chicken immediately gritted his teeth and cursed. Although he had indeed said he would kill Sun's whole family, he said it after he had been paid, so the nature of the words was completely different.

"Alright, you can go over your statements when we get back!"

Yan Wanlei interrupted the standoff between Brother Chicken and Sun Dachang, saying that now was not the time for interrogation.

"Little Tiger, tie them together first!"

Because they hadn't brought handcuffs with them, Yan Wanlei first had Xiao Hu take out the climbing rope and tie all their hands together, lining them up in a row, including Sun Dachang.

Yan Wanlei had a premonition that Brother Chicken was definitely a 'big fish,' otherwise he would never have dared to bribe archaeological experts, follow the archaeological team, and come in, only to hear from Chen Yibai that they also had AK rifles.

If it's really a 'big fish,' it might even earn a first-class merit.

The archaeological team was already facing constant dangers and difficulties, and now they had brought along several prisoners, which made things even more complicated.

As for Chen Yibai, he didn't find it too troublesome.

Because they were tied together like a string of grasshoppers, there was a high probability they wouldn't survive.

But this didn't matter much to Chen Yibai.

Seeing that Chicken Brother's hands were also tied, Chen Yibai stepped forward and pulled out a corpse-suppressing nail that was nailed to his collarbone.

"what……"

Chicken, whose pain had just eased slightly, let out another pig-like scream.

After the corpse-suppressing nail was removed, the wound on his collarbone began to bleed profusely. In the blink of an eye, Chicken Brother's upper body was stained red and soaked with blood.

"You bastard surnamed Chen! You better not give me a chance. If you fall into my hands, I'll skin you alive..."

Chicken Bro peeked at Chen Yibai's back with one of his prosthetic eyes, his back teeth grinding together.

Chen Yibai casually wiped the bloodstains off the corpse-suppressing nails, glanced at the thirteen-person team, and realized that the team that had lost contact in two separate trips could reunite, which saved him the trouble of searching for them in two separate trips.

However, Chen Yibai was very puzzled about their loss of contact earlier.

Especially the disappearance of Yan Wanlei and his group.

"Captain Yan, we were just counting, why did you suddenly leave?"

Chen Yibai looked at Yan Wanlei and asked.

"Didn't you tell me to keep moving forward?"

Yan Wanlei looked at Chen Yibai in surprise and asked in return.

At this moment, Qiu Jing chimed in, saying, "We've been following you the whole time, but you disappeared around the corner."

What Yan Wanlei and Qiu Jing said is basically impossible to explain reasonably.

There's only one explanation for this illogical situation: they're all 'possessed' by evil spirits, including Brother Chicken and his gang.

There are many interpretations of this "possession by evil spirits," such as being possessed by a malevolent spirit.

However, only those with particularly weak constitutions and poor yang energy can be possessed by evil spirits. In addition, since they all carry tomb raiding talismans, they will only experience temporary mental disturbances.

Moreover, this requires a very powerful evil spirit to accomplish.

Based on this, we can infer that this evil spirit wants to lure everyone into this "Bagua Dragon Locking Formation".

Only Chen Yibai, who carried the Yinshi Pill, was unaffected.

"Mr. Chen, which way should we go now?"

Yan Wanlei looked at Chen Yibai and asked.

Now that they've reunited with Chen Yibai, it's like the team has another pillar of support.

Just now, because Chen Yibai wasn't there, the whole team turned into a pot of ants.

Yan Wanlei now fully realizes Chen Yibai's importance in the team.

Without Chen Yibai, the entire team would have been wiped out and would have certainly died.

Otherwise, why would the whole team have been so excited when they heard Chen Yibai's voice?

"Closing the door is fraught with eight dangers, yet it remains within the framework of Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams!"

Chen Yibai had already planned his next move.

The hidden dangers and perilous terrain in ancient tombs are usually set up by the tomb builders according to the feng shui and Bagua principles, so the Bagua shape can also ward off dangers.

The saying "Closing the door is fraught with eight dangers, yet it remains within the Yin-Yang Bagua formation" means exactly this!
