“The passage is open, great, good job, Xiao Hu.”
Professor Chen appeared particularly excited.
Han Xiao Liu threw down several illumination rods towards the bottom.
Everyone was also curious as to how many things Han Xiao Liu's backpack was holding, it was as if it would never run out.
“You are really well-prepared, illumination rods are very useful underground.”
Shirley couldn't help but praise him.
Little did she know that Han Xiao Liu's backpack didn't hold much at all.
Because of the addition of the jade eyeball, this was still the heaviest load Han Xiao Liu had ever carried.
“Han Xiao Liu, give me back the thing, it's mine.”
Wang Fatty came over and reached out his hand, his face not good.
And Professor Chen also said:
“Comrade Xiao Han, that thing is a relic!”
“Professor Chen, I am also an archaeologist, certified by the state. And you, Wang Fatty, going down a tomb with archaeological personnel, your current behavior, I can completely treat you as a tomb robber and shoot you.”
“You dare! You're crazy, I've put up with you for a long time!”
As he spoke, Wang Fatty was about to raise his gun and aim it at Han Xiao Liu.
Hu Ba Yi saw the coldness in Han Xiao Liu's eyes and immediately intervened, he still remembered the terrifying strength of Han Xiao Liu in the General's Tomb.
“Fatty! Calm down.”
“Hu Ba Yi, let him go, I'll give him ten guts to see if he dares to go head to head with me. Besides, if I hadn't reached out to catch it, the jade eyeball would have fallen to the ground and shattered! You still have the nerve to ask for it?”
“You......you are just outright robbing.”
The last words were very soft, obviously lacking confidence.
“Also, my flashbang just saved everyone. Wang Kai Xuan, you should be glad you have Hu Ba Yi as a brother to stop you, with your two skills, I really don't look down on you.”
Professor Chen also wanted to hold the jade eyeball in his hand for ‘research’, but now he had no reason.
Shirley didn't say anything else, even if Han Xiao Liu treated the jade as a trophy, it was completely fine, after all, it was rescued at the risk of his life.
“Let's get going.”
Following the steps down a total of ninety-nine steps, everyone entered the narrow passage.
After walking about a hundred meters, they came out of the passage, and everyone discovered an underground river, with a stone bridge above that could be crossed.
“This must be the Zi Du Dark River! It has been flowing for thousands of years, truly a miracle of nature.”
Professor Chen couldn't help but go up and scoop up a handful of water to drink, regardless of whether the water was clean or not, his expression was more like a pilgrimage, filled with piety.
Han Xiao Liu and Shirley exchanged glances and crossed the stone bridge directly.
The three then followed.
After crossing the stone bridge, it was no longer man-made, but a natural cave, after passing through the cave, it suddenly opened up.
But Han Xiao Liu, who had just emerged from the cave, immediately felt something was wrong, then hurriedly ‘took’ out his gas mask from his bag and put it on.
When Han Xiao Liu put it on, he found that Professor Chen, Hu Ba Yi, and Wang Fatty were all looking down, as if they had seen some treasure.
But Shirley Yang was frowning.
Han Xiao Liu also looked down and found that the place below was densely packed with black bones.
“Wow, we struck it rich, so many gold and silver jewelry~~~”
Han Xiao Liu was stunned, Shirley had no reaction.
“Shirley! Wake up, look below, what do you see?”
“I, there are quite a few bones below, and there is also a lot of gold and silver jewelry.”
Wang Fatty was the first to jump down, and then Han Xiao Liu was horrified to find that he was touching the bones, his eyes full of greed.
Without thinking further, Han Xiao Liu once again ‘took’ out a gas mask he had just bought for 75 system currency and put it on Shirley.
“There must be an illusion here, all I see are bones, there is no treasure at all, only a golden dagger.”
Han Xiao Liu jumped down and grabbed the golden dagger to confirm that he hadn't seen wrong, it wasn't an illusion.
“Everyone, let's go.”
Shirley shouted.
But even though she was wearing a gas mask, Hu Ba Yi and the others still saw Shirley's stunningly beautiful face.
Wang Fatty was the last one to jump down, grabbing a handful of things from the ground, he thought he was grabbing gold coins, but he didn't know he was grabbing the fingers of the skeletons.
The rest of the way was smooth, there were no traps, the end of the passage was a huge abyss.
Shirley suddenly said:
“This abyss is the one that often appears in my dreams. Boss Han, give me a hand, I want to see what's above.”
Han Xiao Liu also saw the abyss, and felt it was very cold, as if there was something terrifying below.
Han Xiao Liu grabbed Shirley's arm and let her lean out to look.
“Above, there is a cliff edge.”
“There is also a winding path leading upwards.” Han Xiao Liu also pointed at the path and added.
As for Hu Ba Yi and the others, their behavior was completely abnormal.
Professor Chen even shouted loudly at the cliff edge.
“Xiao Chu, Xiao Sa, you're still alive, great, come down quickly, it's dangerous over there~~”
Han Xiao Liu and Shirley exchanged glances, then walked up along the path.
When they reached halfway, they saw an ancient wooden coffin lying flat on the cliff edge, with something colorful on top, like a plant.
“Keep your voice down.”
The two slowed their pace, Han Xiao Liu felt more and more uncomfortable as he went up, as if something was about to enter his head.
Shirley's eyes were starting to become glazed.
Han Xiao Liu bit his tongue, then carried Shirley and ran up quickly.
After putting Shirley down at the end of the cliff, Han Xiao Liu clearly saw the coffin and the plant-like thing: Corpse Fragrance Devil Flower.
The Corpse Fragrance Devil Flower seemed to sense Han Xiao Liu's approach, its body slowly rose from where it had been lying on the coffin, then bloomed like a flower, emitting dots of fluorescence around it.
The prettier something is, the more dangerous it is, those dots of fluorescence are definitely not simple.
Han Xiao Liu didn't have time to think about it, every second he stayed here would be more dangerous.
Before he even got close, the Corpse Fragrance Devil Flower's pistil actually extended a few arm-thick tentacles like whips to attack Han Xiao Liu.
“A plant wants to play violent, I'll go to your place!”
Han Xiao Liu drew out the golden dagger he had just picked up, he felt this dagger was not ordinary, it was much better than the ones he had bought in the market.
The dagger slashed across the tentacles, almost no resistance was felt, it cut through the tentacles very smoothly.
“A section of the Corpse Fragrance Devil Flower's root! Let's go all out!”
Han Xiao Liu didn't care what was in the coffin at all, he just wanted to kill the Corpse Fragrance Devil Flower first, otherwise he wouldn't be able to move the coffin either.
The Corpse Fragrance Devil Flower's hallucinogenic ability had lost its effect, and facing Han Xiao Liu, who was almost inhuman, its methods were also limited.
Han Xiao Liu had the golden dagger, a sharp weapon in his hand.
“Want to go all out? Let's see who kills who first!”
When two tigers meet, the braver one will win, at this point, just go for it.
Han Xiao Liu, enduring the whipping, got close and extended his dagger, slashing at the root of the Devil Flower's body, his other hand quickly grabbed the freshly cut root and immediately put it into the system space, then took out his trump card, the Mossberg shotgun, from the equipment bar.
“You're trying to beat me up? I was afraid of hurting the Kunlun Sacred Tree just now, but now I'm going to blow you to pieces!”
“Bang bang bang bang bang~~”
Holding the gun with one hand, he put the muzzle against the Corpse Fragrance Devil Flower's body and fired all five rounds of high-powered shotgun shells in one go.
The Corpse Fragrance Devil Flower's body was severely damaged, a hole the size of a face appeared on its body.
Han Xiao Liu endured the whipping, the strength of the whipping was much less now, but his back was almost torn by the whipping, and his back was burning with pain.
“Crack, there it is!”
Han Xiao Liu put away the shotgun and drew out the golden dagger again, stabbing it forcefully into the crack on the cliff edge and then slashing, the entire tip of the cliff edge was cut off.
The Corpse Fragrance Devil Flower fell towards the abyss below, it still wanted to pull Han Xiao Liu down with it in the end, but he easily cut off its tentacles.
“See you later.”
