"Old Hu, Fatty, I'm fine. There's no problem down there.”
Wishing, who had unlocked the lock and was falling down, pulled out the Seven Star Dragon Spring Sword and stabbed it into the cliff when he was about seven or eight meters away from the bottom of the ice abyss. Then, he landed safely on the ground with an ear-piercing friction sound. After putting the sword back into the sheath, he used a flashlight to observe the surroundings before responding to Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.
"Little brother!"
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan looked around as soon as they landed on the ground, but they only saw strange rocks and jagged cliffs. They didn't see the figure who made a wish, so they immediately shouted.
"I'm here."
Wishing, who was looking at the American's body, quickly replied when he heard Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan calling him.
"Let's go!"
Hu Bayi called out to Wang Kaixuan and walked toward the source of the voice with a flashlight. The others behind him followed the rope and landed on the ground.
"Little brother, are you alright?"
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan asked when they saw Wishing. When they saw the American corpse in front of Wishing, they were shocked. Wang Kaixuan exclaimed,"My God, where did this corpse come from?”
"It should be someone from Miss Yang's father's expedition team.”
Wishing threw the pistol he had taken from the corpse to Wang Kaixuan." Fatty, take it."”
"They are indeed from my father's expedition team. Their equipment is similar.”
Shirley Yang walked over and glanced at the body. Then, she reached out her hand to Wang Kaixuan and said,""Give me the gun."
"Why?"
Of course, Wang Kaixuan would not hand the gun to Shirley Yang. Instead, he held the gun tightly and asked.
Shirley Yang said,"Because my father paid for this gun."”
"Alright…"
Wang Kaixuan could not refute this reason, so he could only take a step back and say,""If you know how to use it, I'll give it to you."
Wishing heard this and silently mourned for Wang Kaixuan because the outcome was already destined. Everyone in the United States had a gun. It was impossible for Shirley Yang not to know how to use a gun. Besides, Shirley Yang almost became an American officer. Have you ever seen an officer who did not know how to use a gun?
Shirley Yang took the pistol and checked it skillfully. It was as if she had practiced it thousands of times. It was hard to believe that she did not know how to use a gun.
"How is it?" she asked.
"Alright, I'm willing to accept my loss. The spear is yours.”
Although Wang Kaixuan was very reluctant, he still pretended to be magnanimous.
"Captain Hu, we've already looked around. This is the only direction we can go.”
The big guy and Gawa walked over and pointed in another direction.
Hu Bayi nodded to show that he understood. Then, he reminded everyone again and set off.
Since they didn't know what kind of danger would appear in front of them, they let Wishing and Hu Bayi lead the way. The two soldiers and the archaeological team walked in the middle, and Wang Kaixuan and Shirley Yang walked at the back.
As the group continued to go deeper, they soon entered a winding passage. The ground was filled with gravel and there were many dark-colored micas.
Since Wang Kaixuan was also behind, there was no scene of Shirley Yang being lost in the original play.
After exiting the passage, they appeared in front of an underground river that was unknown in length.
The underground river did not flow fast, but the water was very turbid, so it was impossible to see the depth of the water.
"Professor Chen, you guys rest here. Little brother and I will go and check the depth of the river.”Hu Bayi said to Professor Chen.
"Alright, Comrade Hu, you guys go ahead.”Professor Chen nodded.
"Yes!" Hu Bayi nodded, then walked to Wishing and Wang Kaixuan." Little brother, let's go check the depth of the river." Fatty, protect Professor and the others.”
" Okay," Wishing nodded and agreed softly. Wang Kaixuan patted his chest and promised," I'm here, don't worry."”
While Wishing and Hu Bayi were testing the depth of the underground river, the archeologists also found the stone wall with the Ghost Cave text. They then went to investigate it.
After the archeological team finished studying the Ghost Cave Script, Wishing and the others began to wade through the underground river. Just like in the original movie, they were not attacked by the Overlord Salamandrid when they crossed the river.
After crossing the underground river, Wish and the others continued to move forward in their previous formation. However, not long after they walked, they saw a cave entrance that was faintly emitting blue light.
"Don't move."
When Wishing saw the entrance of the cave that was emitting blue light, he immediately reached out his hand to stop everyone and said in a low voice.
"All of you stay where you are." Hu Bayi quickly stopped everyone because of his previous experience at Mount Kunlun." Little brother, let's go take a look?”
"Yes!"
Wishing nodded and turned off the flashlight with Hu Bayi. Then, they carefully walked toward the entrance of the cave under the illumination of the others 'flashlights. As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they saw a strange ancient building standing tall. The overall style was a little like a tower, and it made a creaking sound from time to time.
The surface of the ancient building flickered with a strange blue light. It was also through this blue light that one could see that the ancient building had nine floors, and there were countless corpses on each floor.
"Old Hu, look at those blue dots. Are they Fire Floating Bugs?”Wishing asked with a solemn gaze.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the mission, he really wouldn't have entered this nine-story Demon Edifice. Just the countless corpses alone were enough to make his scalp tingle, not to mention the countless fire floating bugs. Once he woke up these sleeping fire floating bugs, he believed that no one would be able to survive except him.
"Yes." Hu Bayi looked at the countless firebugs that were emitting blue light and nodded solemnly.
"This is the legendary nine-story Demon Tower!”
No one knew when the others had walked up and looked at the nine-story Demon Building in shock. Chen Jiao exclaimed and Gawa kowtowed to the nine-story Demon Building.
"Turn off your headlights." Hu Bayi quickly warned everyone and said angrily," Professor Chen, why are you guys up here? It's too dangerous here. We have to leave quickly."”
"Comrade Hu, we came here for this. How can we just leave like this? Moreover, there must be clues about the Ancient City of Jingjue here.”Hao Aiguo said before Professor Chen could say anything.
"No, this place is too dangerous." Wishing also advised. Although the mission had not been completed, this place was too dangerous. He just needed to send these people back first and then return to complete the mission.
"Comrade Xu, I hope you can understand. This is the opportunity that we, the cultural archaeologists of the Western Regions, have been waiting for."”
"Miss Yang, what are you doing?"
Before Wishing could say anything, Hu Bayi lowered his voice and said. He turned his head and saw Shirley Yang walking towards the nine-story Demon Tower with a spear in her hand. She had already walked some distance away.
"I haven't found the notebook yet. If you want to go, you guys go. I have to go and take a look.”Shirley said without turning her head.
"Forget it, everyone should go and take a look, but you must be careful.”Hu Bayi knew that he couldn't persuade Shirley Yang, so he immediately said to the others.
"Yes!"
The archeological team nodded to show that they understood.
