Because Hu Bayi was the leader, he confirmed with Professor Chen and knew that only Ye Yixin was afraid of heights and needed to be tested, all other archaeological team members wanted to go down the ice cave and explore the ancient tomb inside.
Hu Bayi didn't have anything to say, so he could only agree. However, before going down, he made it clear to the team members that because the situation here is unclear, there are very likely strange phenomena, creatures, and even bodies. Don't be nervous when encountering any situation, but be adaptable to the situation.
After Zhao Shucheng discussed with Hu Bayi, he was the first to go down, followed by Hu Bayi, and Wang Kaixuan and others.
After Zhao Shuchengsuo descended, he saw the situation at the bottom of the valley and said, "No problem, Lao Hu, you can come down."
Zhao Shucheng's speed of descending surprised everyone else. Hearing that there was no problem, he slid down one by one.
After everyone and the supplies reached the bottom, they counted the number of people and supplies. The big soldier said to Gawa: "You count the supplies, and I will go around and take a look."
Zhao Shucheng stopped them and said, "No, Gawa, big man, although you are soldiers, this archaeological work is not the same as fighting. We still need professionals like us here. You just need to be responsible for the vigilance."
As he said that, Zhao Shucheng took the flashlight and began to explore along the bottom of the valley. After a while, he saw a corpse.
Seeing Zhao Shucheng, he was about to come forward to check. Wang Kaixuan said nervously: "Don't move, be careful to alarm the fire-ridden insects."
"That's a fire ladybug!"
Zhao Shucheng said: "Don't worry, if there was a fire ladybug, then this corpse wouldn't be so complete here. Instead, it would have been burned into a pile of ashes long ago."
After hearing this, Wang Kaixuan knew that he was a little suspicious of the frightened bird and said to Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, is this your comrade-in-arms?"
"No, the clothes are completely different. It's not from us, but rather..." Hu Bayi said and looked at Yang Xueli's clothes.
Yang Xueli had already arrived at the corpse at this time, looked at it, and said, "This should be from my father's expedition team. Their clothes are similar to mine, and I still have their clothes at home."
Since it is confirmed that the expedition team has been here before, it means that Shirley Yang has received the message, so the group continues to walk forward.
After a while, the first thing the group saw was not the ancient tomb, but a lot of mica.
Hao Aiguo was a little excited when he saw it and pointed at Mica and introduced the situation to everyone. However, Fatty Wang was not interested at all. Hearing that Mica was worthless, he couldn't help but curl his lips and continue moving forward.
After a while, everyone passed through the deep tunnel, but was blocked by an underground river.
Fatty Wang said curiously: "Old Hu, is this the underground river?"
Hu Ba nodded, looked at the underground river, then looked at the opposite side, and said, "It seems we need to wading over the water."
Zhao Shucheng frowned and looked at the river, and said to Hu Bayi: "After getting into the water for a while, let everyone act faster and be more vigilant."
Hu Bayi asked curiously: ‘What’s wrong?’
Zhao Shucheng said: "Since there are ancient tombs in this place, and even the existence of the fire ladybug, don't you think that only the fire ladybug exists, right? It is said that there must be an antidote within three steps. Although the fire ladybug is not a poison, from a biological point of view, since the fire ladybug has not become a disaster, it must have mutual generation and mutual restraint. The nature of the fire ladybug's fear of water can only mean that its nemesis is in the water."
Zhao Shucheng said, looking not far away, and continued to say to Hu Bayi: "Since it is in the water, we don't know how big this creature is, so it's better to be careful. Besides, the corpse just now also tells us the danger of this place."
Hu Bayi was not a little scared when he heard this. There was no danger along the way. It could even be said that it was like an outing, which made Hu Bayi himself relax his vigilance, but forgot about the possible dangers in the ancient tomb.
Wang Kaixuan asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Fatty, do you still remember the characteristics of the body just now? They came to explore. This place is so hidden, is it necessary to hold a gun in their hands and be ready to shoot at any time?"
"This may be because of a fire ladybug, so..."
Hu Bayi interrupted Fatty Wang and frowned and said, "It is impossible. If the fire ladybug is not like this, the corpse will not be like this. Instead, it will be burned to ashes, or it will disappear directly, and there will be no only external injuries. So he must be in danger and needs to shoot, but the other party did not continue to stay or left afterwards."
Others also heard the conversation between Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi. Although they didn't believe that there were aquatic creatures in such places, they were careful not to make a big mistake, so they were all ready to follow what Zhao Shucheng said, after getting into the water, they would move gently and quickly wading across the river.
At this time, everyone suddenly realized that Yang Xueli did not follow him, and couldn't help but feel a little worried. At this time, Yang Xueli followed him with a camera and claimed that she was going to take a picture of the scenery.
Fatty Wang was a little suspicious, thinking that Shirley Yang didn't tell the truth, and even hid something from everyone.
But Hu Bayi told the fat man not to care about so much, just pay attention to the danger themselves.
Zhao Shucheng took the lead in wading across the river and saw a cave not far from the river bank, which should be the nine-story demon building inside.
Professor Chen was surprised to find a ghost cave text on the cave wall by the river that was the same as the words engraved on the jade on Fatty Wang's body. Professor Chen made a happy judgment that this must be related to Jingjue Ancient City. Professor Chen left a group of students to record the text on the wall and asked Hu Bayi to take everyone to wading across the river.
Ye Yixin and soldier Xiao Liu were responsible for contacting the archaeological team and the garrison on the ground. After knowing that there would be a blizzard in a while, they quickly contacted the archaeological team and asked everyone to evacuate in an hour.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Although Professor Chen was unwilling to leave so quickly after knowing it, he also knew that if he really encountered a blizzard, the group would be trapped underground and wait for death. He had to promise that no matter what the situation here was, he would go up in an hour.
When Zhao Shucheng saw others, he was about to enter the cave and quickly stopped him in front of him and said, "Wait a minute, there is an ancient tomb here, and there is a fire ladybug inside, so be careful and careful. If the fire ladybug is awakened, especially when you see them coming towards you, don't worry about other things, don't think about fighting, try to escape back to the river and bury yourself in the river."
"There is a fire ladybug here, which means that the other party likes darkness and light. If you want to use flashlights or other lighting items for a while, try not to illuminate them directly, or even turn them off as much as possible. Especially the flashlight, it is easier to stimulate the fire ladybug."
Zhao Shucheng said as he turned on the flashlight and shone it into the cave for a moment. He saw a dilapidated tower with faint blue light inside. What was even more frightening was that the entire building was covered with white corpses and sleeping ladybugs.
It seemed that they were igniting the lights of Zhao Shucheng, and these fire ladybugs showed signs of awakening. Fortunately, Zhao Shucheng just swept past and quickly turned off the flashlight.
The others were actually right next to Zhao Shucheng, so they naturally noticed what happened just now. They were very nervous and quickly turned off the searchlight on their heads.
Fortunately, I turned off the flashlight, because the light emitted by the fire ladybug accidentally, there was still enough sight here.
After seeing the situation inside, Gawa knelt on the ground and started kowtowing. Seeing Gawa like this, the big man quickly pulled him up and asked, "Gawa, what are you doing? You are still wearing military uniforms and are also engaged in feudal superstition."
"Where is this place? So many people died." Fatty Wang asked curiously.
Professor Chen looked ahead excitedly and said, "This is the legendary nine-story demon building. This is the funeral form of the tombs of the monarchs of the ancient demon kingdom."
Fatty Wang didn't know the nine-story demon building, but when he heard Professor Chen say that this was the tomb of the ancient demon king, he knew that there must be many antiques inside.
Hao Aiguo said: "It's not just a lot of antiques, everything here is worth studying and is priceless."
Professor Chen also said: "Yes, Shirley, what we came here this time is so valuable. Maybe your father came here just for this nine-story demon building."
Hu Bayi said: "Don't disturb them to sleep."
"Who are you talking about? Dead?" Fatty Wang asked curiously.
"No, it's a fire ladybug."
After hearing this, everyone saw blue light emitting from the nine-story demon building. They knew that this was the old nest of Ladybug, and they suddenly became nervous.
The people from the archaeological team observed around and saw white ashes on the ground. When they looked closely, they looked like a human-shaped trace. It seemed to be the residue of the person who had entered the tomb before being burned by the fire ladybug.
Hu Bayi hoped that everyone would evacuate, but Professor Chen and others were unwilling to give up this precious archaeological opportunity. Yang Xueli was unwilling to leave because she had not yet got what she wanted.
Seeing this, Hu Bayi knew that he could not persuade everyone, so he could only reiterate the danger here and make everyone be careful.
The people from the archaeological team began to take archaeological records near the entrance of the cave, while Shirley Yang abandoned everyone and walked towards the nine-story demon building.
Hu Bayi was worried that Shirley Yang could only take Fatty Wang to follow him.
Zhao Shucheng was not worried that Hu Bayi and the others would encounter danger. After all, they were the protagonists. They would always be in danger if they had the halo of the protagonist on them. On the contrary, if the people from the archaeological team were not watching from the side, they would definitely make some noise and wake up the fire ladybug. At that time, everyone would encounter danger.
The fat man discovered something when he went upstairs. There seemed to be antiques on a corpse, and he couldn't help but stop to collect antiques. Of course, he also saw a bag, just like the bag of the expedition team I saw at the bottom of the valley before.
He bent down and picked it up, looked through it, and found a notebook inside. He couldn't help but take it out and threw the bag on the ground.
Just as the fat man was about to look through the notebook, Shirley Yang happened to turn around and see the notebook in the fat man's hand, saying, "Give me the notebook!"
The fat man said with some dissatisfaction: "I discovered this, why give it to you?"
When Shirley Yang saw that the fat man refused to give him his life, she pointed the gun at Wang Kaixuan and said, "Give me the notebook!"
This incident surprised both Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang. Fatty Wang said, "Why should you point the gun at me? I asked you to use the gun to protect everyone."
"Give me the bag!"
Hu Bayi was about to have a quarrel when he saw the two of them, so he went directly to the middle of them, stopped them, took out the notebook from Wang Kaixuan, and handed it to Professor Chen on the side.
"Yeah?"
"yes!"
When Sardipeng saw the records on his notebook, he was excited and prepared to take a photo, but with a crisp sound of taking photos, the light of the flash came.
This was a bolt from the blue, which made everyone nervous. Moreover, the fire ladybug was awakened by the light of the flash and began to flap its wings from the nine-story demon building.
Sardipeng said nervously: ‘I, I turn off the flash lights.’
"Okay, it doesn't matter whether it was closed or not. Everyone hurried back to the river and squatted into the water when they encountered a fire ladybug. The speed and things they could not take were lost. Everything was light and simple. "
Zhao Shucheng himself was at the end, observing the movement of the fire ladybug. After reaching the entrance of the cave, he saw that the fire ladybug was approaching, but the others were still a distance from the river. If the fire ladybug could not be stopped from approaching, although the people in front might escape the pursuit of the fire ladybug, the people behind were not necessarily so lucky.
Zhao Shucheng took a deep breath and saw that no one noticed him, so he could only stop and directly cast the Golden Light Curse in a Qi-shaped way to directly form a barrier at the entrance of the cave to block the pursuit of the fire ladybug.
Of course, Zhao Shucheng was also nervous inside, and he didn't know if the Golden Light Curse could be stopped. If it was burned through, he would have to flee in a panic, or simply return early.
Fortunately, although the Golden Light Curse is a skill in another world, it is still very effective in this world. Although the fire ladybug hits it and causes flames, it only has some flames from the fire ladybug itself, so it will not last long before it is extinguished.
Of course, the fire ladybug hit the golden light curse shield not one or two, so you can see sparks bursting out from time to time on the shield, and then extinguished, as if fireworks in the night sky.
Hu Bayi, the big man and others who turned around accidentally saw this scene and couldn't help but stop when they saw this beautiful scene.
Zhao Shucheng turned around and saw that they stopped instead of running. He couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you doing? Are you running for life or stop to watch the show? I can't hold on for long."
After hearing this, the others realized that Zhao Shucheng was buying time for them, so they quickly continued to flee. After almost everyone entered the river, Zhao Shucheng breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the ladybugs still hitting their passports one after another, they had no intention of continuing to entangle, they ran away quickly, came to the river surface, and directly sank into the river.
