"Let's go. Let's cross the river. The water is not very deep.”
After a while, Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi returned and escorted everyone across the river.
After Long Hao stepped into the water, he kept an eye on the surroundings, worried that the Overlord Salamandrid would come out and attack them.
"This... There were so many white bones in the river. Would it be dangerous?”
When everyone entered the cold water, they were surprised to find that the bottom of the river was filled with white bones, and there were a few unknown creatures wandering around.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry over.”
Long Hao smiled. When he saw that this group of fools were actually interested in the white bones in the river, he hurriedly urged them to quickly get lost.
"Xue Li Yang, this operation is very dangerous. If you want to find what your father left behind alive, you have to move with everyone else. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, no one will be able to leave alive.”
At this moment, Hu Bayi looked at Xue Li Yang who was at the end of the line. He couldn't help but advise her not to ignore the danger for her own sake and to consider everyone's feelings.
"What danger can there be here? The Fire Ladybug was afraid of water. There was a river here, so it would not appear again.”
Xue Li Yang didn't seem to care about Hu Bayi's warning at all.
"Hu Bayi, some people don't know what's good for them.”
When Long Hao saw that this foreign girl still had an arrogant look on her face when she came here, he could not help but mock her coldly.
"Good fellow!"
When Fatty Wang heard that Long Hao actually dared to talk back to Xue Li Yang, he secretly gave her a thumbs up and thought to himself,'What a guy.'
....
After crossing the river, they came to a pagoda filled with corpses.
Corpses and white bones were hanging everywhere on the pagoda, and it was emitting a dense blue light. It had a different kind of beauty.
"This... What was this thing? Why were there so many dried corpses hanging on it?”
Everyone was shocked by the scene before them. They stared at the pagoda with horror in their hearts.
"This is a nine-story demonic pagoda. The ones on top should be Fire Ladybugs. If you are not afraid of death, don't disturb these demonic insects.”
Long Hao's divine sense swept out. After landing on the nine-story demon pagoda and sweeping a glance, he looked at the people behind him with a solemn expression.
"Everyone, don't panic. This is the legendary nine-story Demon Tower. It's the burial form of the ancient Demon Nation's emperors 'tombs. However, there are almost no more Demon Towers that are as complete as this one.”
"I reckon that Xue Li's father had come here for the Nine Level Demon Edifice.”
Professor Chen was a zealous archaeologist. Facing the pagoda where countless Fire Ladybugs were sleeping, his face was calm. There was not a trace of fear, but more of surprise and excitement.
"Look, this entire tower is filled with fire ladybugs. It's too dangerous. I suggest that we move quickly.”
However, none of them were willing to leave. After coming here, none of them wanted to return empty-handed.
"I must find my father's notebook.”
After Xue Li Yang finished speaking, she walked straight up the steps of the pagoda to look for the corpses of the archaeological team.
"Turn off your flashlights and alert the Fire Ladybug.”
Long Hao was also calm as he went to look for Xue Li Yang's father's notebook.
"Old Hu, do you think there are treasures here?”
Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi weren't here for archeology. They were here for money. Fatty Wang couldn't help but ask Hu Bayi if there were any valuable treasures here.
"Here, this pagoda is a treasure. Do you dare to take it away?”
Long Hao's six senses were sensitive. He heard Fatty Wang just as he opened his mouth. He pointed at the nine-story demon pagoda and looked at Fatty teasingly.
"Ahem, then I'll look for something else. We're just talking casually.”
Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi couldn't figure out what Long Hao meant, so they turned around and left awkwardly.
When the others saw that Xue Li Yang had already gone up, they could only follow her.
...
On the ground, the blizzard was about to arrive, but the archeological team had yet to come up.
The blizzard had cut off their communication signal with the warrior camp. Ye Yixin and Xiao Liu were so anxious that they could only hide in the tent and pray silently.
At this moment, below the valley, Hu Bayi and Xue Li were slowly approaching the nine-story tower.
Professor Chen and the others were attracted by the funerary objects in the burial ditch and the ghost cave characters on the murals. They were engrossed in it.
At this time, Fatty Wang found an agate bead on a skeleton. Greed rose in his heart, and he secretly snatched the bead string from the Corpse Ancestor's neck and put it in his pocket.
"Little Wang, what are you doing?"
Professor Chen happened to see Fatty Wang's actions and caught him red-handed. After being reprimanded, he could only obediently put the bead back.
Hu Bayi also saw Fatty Wang's actions and shook his head, revealing a disappointed expression.
...
"There's another bag here?"
Fatty continued to walk forward and soon made a new discovery. He found a backpack used by the archaeological team back then.
"Swoosh!"
However, before he could react, Long Hao snatched the backpack away.
"Let me see what's here."
After Long Hao finished speaking, he opened his backpack and took out the notebook inside. Then, he threw the bag to Fatty Wang.
Fatty Wang didn't dare to get angry when he saw that it was Long Hao who had saved him before.
"A notebook?"
When he saw the notebook in Long Hao's hand, his eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly.
"Long Hao, give me the notebook!"
Xue Li Yang, who had been lingering in the tower and was unwilling to leave, was ecstatic when she saw the notebook in Long Hao's hand. She immediately rushed over to ask for it.
"Yes, it's indeed the archaeological team's notebook.”
Long Hao ignored Xue Li Yang. He flipped through it and remembered all the information before throwing it to her.
"Xue Li, is this your father's notebook?”
Professor Chen and Hu Bayi also came over. They looked expectant as they surrounded Xue Li Yang and studied the notebook together.
"Kacha!"
While everyone was studying the notebook, Chu Jian took a photo of the nine-story demon tower with his camera. A crisp shutter sound echoed between heaven and earth.
"Weng weng weng!"
Suddenly, a terrifying scene appeared.
The Fire Ladybugs on the entire ninth floor of the demon tower flapped their wings, as if thousands of fireflies had awakened. The entire demon tower was lit up by a sinister blue light, and it was extremely strange.
"Bastard!"
When Professor Chen and Ao Aiguo saw this, they were so angry that they almost had a heart attack.
Fatty Wang was so scared that he trembled and almost peed his pants. He had touched the corpse agate bead and was already feeling guilty. He thought that his actions had attracted the Fire Ladybug's attention.
"Weng weng weng!"
There were already Fire Ladybugs flying down and circling around everyone.
"Let's go!"
After cursing his stupid teammate, Long Hao ran away.
"Fatty, let's go!"
Hu Bayi's reaction was also very fast. He pulled Fatty Wang and ran outside.
"Boom!"
Tens of thousands of fire ladybugs flew up like fireworks. They were gorgeous and beautiful as they fell rapidly toward everyone.
