Lu Feng was the first to board the inflatable boat, followed by Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi. After reaching the other side of the river, Hu Ba Yi greeted Xue Li Yang and her team.
Entering the passage, they found more ghost cave inscriptions.
“It seems we’ve found the right place.”
Xue Li Yang couldn't hide her joy.
“Once we find the Nine-Story Demon Tower, our research on the Western Regions will enter a new chapter, which is of great significance.” Professor Chen exclaimed.
Lu Feng frowned: “Wait until we’ve left before getting excited. Now, everyone stay quiet. If you attract any unknown creatures, don't blame me for not warning you.”
“Right, right, everyone be quiet.” Professor Chen agreed.
The passage sloped upward for a short distance, then leveled out. After walking for over half an hour, a faint blue light appeared at the end of the passage.
“What’s that?” Sa Di Peng shouted.
Lu Feng suddenly grabbed him by the neck and said in a low voice: “I told you to keep quiet, can’t you understand?”
“What are you doing?”
Hao Ai Guo grabbed Lu Feng’s hand, trying to pry it open: “Let go!”
Lu Feng grabbed Hao Ai Guo’s neck, preventing him from uttering a word. He struggled to break free but to no avail.
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi were dumbfounded.
They knew Lu Feng was ruthless towards the bear-men and red demons, but they didn't expect him to be so ruthless towards people. Was he going to kill them? They were living people!
“Lu Feng!”
Professor Chen was anxious, whispering: “Let them go.”
“Lu Feng, they meant no harm, let them go.” Xue Li Yang quickly pleaded, “Are you going to kill them?”
“If they die here, who will know?”
“No!”
Professor Chen's face changed, and he said apologetically: “Comrade Lu Feng, I guarantee they won’t talk loudly anymore. Please let them go.”
Lu Feng looked at Sa Di Peng and Hao Ai Guo, who were almost suffocating. Their eyes were filled with plea.
“If you want to die, die by yourself, don’t involve others.”
After speaking, Lu Feng pushed them away with disgust, grabbing Sa Di Peng’s camera.
Others might not know what the blue light was, but he did.
It was the light emitted by countless Da Pu ghost worms gathered together. If they were alarmed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He certainly wanted to leave, but what about Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi?
And the burial goods in the tomb, if they were burnt to ashes, wouldn’t it be a waste of a trip?
Sa Di Peng and Hao Ai Guo were relieved. They wanted to cough, but they dared not make any noise. They covered their mouths and coughed softly, looking at Lu Feng with fear.
“Ai Guo, Xiao Sa, are you alright?” Professor Chen asked concernedly.
“I’m, I’m fine.”
“It’s, it’s okay.”
“You two are so rash, you have to be careful.”
“Yes.”
“Understood.”
Xue Li Yang thought Lu Feng was just indifferent to people, but she hadn’t expected him to have murderous intentions: “Lu Feng, who exactly are you?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Lu Feng said lightly.
After Hao Ai Guo and the others recovered, Lu Feng led them forward.
A few minutes later, the view suddenly widened, and a huge cave appeared before them.
In the center of the cave was a massive tower, several tens of meters tall, with countless blue lights clinging to it, flashing like stars in the sky.
The rock layer above the tower top was actually mica ore, and the light refracted from it, shining perfectly on the Nine-Story Demon Tower, allowing everyone to see the tower in its entirety.
The tower’s base was nearly two hundred meters wide, built of tamped earth and stone. The tower body was constructed of giant trees and divided into nine levels, a magnificent sight!
“My god!”
Wang Pang Zi murmured, completely mesmerized.
The tomb in Ye Ren Gou was simply nothing compared to this one.
Hu Ba Yi had also never seen such a sight before, and he was speechless for a moment.
“It’s so spectacular!”
Hao Ai Guo was excited and felt an urge to rush over immediately.
“Incredible!”
Professor Chen muttered, trembling with excitement.
“Everyone turn off your lights.”
Lu Feng reminded them, and everyone turned off their lights.
“Ding!”
“Detected that the host is exploring a tomb. After completing the exploration, you will gain a certain amount of points!”
Lu Feng lowered his voice and repeated: “Stay quiet, no photos!”
“I’ll go take a look.”
Xue Li Yang walked directly towards the demon tower.
Lu Feng didn't say anything, walked into the open space in front of the Nine-Story Demon Tower. There were hundreds of corpses in the open space, as well as scattered ashes.
Lu Feng observed and saw two burial trenches, and whispered to Hu Ba Yi: “Lead Professor Chen and the others to that side.”
“Okay.”
Hu Ba Yi’s eyes lit up, knowing that Lu Feng had found something good. He pulled Wang Pang Zi and joined Professor Chen and the others, leading them towards the animal burial trench.
Professor Chen and the others found the buried bones and immediately started studying them.
Lu Feng ran into the other burial trench.
The contents of this burial trench were completely different.
It was filled with ancient leather boots, ancient Tibetan script wooden fragments, ancient Mongolian script wooden tablets, painted wood fragments, wooden discs, wooden wings, wooden birds, gold ornaments, copperware, silk, and other burial goods.
There were also many corpses.
“Collect!”
Lu Feng’s right hand brushed over the items, and they vanished.
To quickly become stronger, spiritual herbs and medicinal meals were one way, which required a huge amount of money as a foundation.
After collecting the valuable items, he arrived in front of the Nine-Story Demon Tower.
Xue Li Yang was already stepping onto the stairs of the Nine-Story Demon Tower, carefully looking for something.
Hu Ba Yi and the others held their breath, afraid of waking the Da Pu ghost worms.
Lu Feng followed and stepped onto the stairs to go up the tower.
The more he explored the Nine-Story Demon Tower, the more points he would gain. He had to go in and explore this Nine-Story Demon Tower.
