"patriotismAh, go down and take a look."
"Professor, I'm fine, don't worry."
Chu Jian gritted his teeth, actually he hurt his leg when he fell, but it should be fine with a careful bandage.
"Be careful, let me help you up, and someone will bandage you up later." Although he scolds on the surface, Heguo Ai still cares for his students. Chu Jian is excellent in all aspects except for his obsession with researching aliens. In fact, Heguo Ai sometimes feels that he shouldn't be studying Archaeology and should instead pursue a profession related to astronomy. Perhaps one day he might actually see aliens.
This bit of Heguo Ai can only be kept in mind. After all, who will climb up and down in their Archaeology team after Chu Jian is gone? "Teacher, I was wrong. I almost caused trouble for everyone." Chu Jian felt very guilty. If all the firefly woke up, everyone here would be attacked, and all of this was caused by his carelessness.
"You just need to know. Hurry up and bandage it. I'm still waiting for you to bring me a flashlight for the research on the burial site!"
"Okay, teacher."
No one blamed Chu Jian. After seeing that there was nothing wrong, they all went their separate ways to explore The Nine-Story Demon Tower in front of them.
No matter if it's the corridor or the stairs, there are scattered white bones lying around in all directions. Fireflies crawl on the white bones from time to time. This scene is not something an ordinary person can bear, only Lin Ye and Huba Yi can still maintain their facial expressions and continue to watch. Shirley Yang is even more fierce, directly searching within the white bones. She has a premonition that the crucial notebook is very close to her.
"This kind of Ghost place, if it weren't for Fat Grandpa who is experienced and knowledgeable, I would have been scared to death long ago." Having seen plenty of big dumplings, the fat man naturally wouldn't be afraid of mere skeletons.
"Fatso, keep quiet for a moment. Now is not the time to boast."
Huba Yi looked at everyone, walking cautiously and constantly keeping an eye on the skeletons on the ground while also paying attention to the situation of the firefly.
"I'll go up and take a look."
Lin Ye greeted and went upstairs, Shirle Yang happened to go upstairs as well.
"How is it? Any discoveries?"
Since Huba Yi openly and covertly ridiculed her, Shirle Yang has been wearing a heavy expression. "Do you also think I am cruel, disregarding others' lives to achieve my goals?" For some reason, Shirle Yang felt the urge to confide in Lin Ye when she saw him. In front of others, she had to put on a mask and disguise herself, and it didn't matter if they didn't understand.
She didn't bother to explain when others misunderstood her. In fact, Huba Yi was not entirely wrong. She was indeed willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. " Old Hu was just venting. Otherwise, he would have left us a long time ago."
I didn't expect that even a beauty like her would have worries. Lin Ye felt it necessary to step forward and comfort her.
"Is The Lost Ancient City really that important to you? Have you ever considered that maybe there was no such thing as the Extinct Nation in history, and that The Lost Ancient City is just a mysterious lie, a story made up to lead greedy people to their doom."
Lin Ye couldn't understand why Shirle Yang was so certain that The Lost Ancient City absolutely existed. Could this be related to the secret she carries?
Shirle Yang is very mysterious, and there is not much description of her background in the original work.
"I believe it's true," Shirle Yang told Lin Ye confidently, saying that as long as they find the notebook, they can find The Lost Ancient City.
"Okay, since you're so sure, let's start by finding the notebook first."
Alright, the original plot of inside is set, and it's difficult for Lin Ye to change it even if he wants to. Besides, he was just joking earlier. The Lost Ancient City definitely exists, it's just very dangerous.
"Yeah, let's go together."
Since the beauty has already extended an invitation, isn't it cowardly for Lin Ye not to go up?
"Sure, let's go together."
Lin Ye and Shirle Yang searched upstairs, and the fat guy was on the floor below them.
"What is it?" The fat man walked up to a corpse that had not completely turned into bones, indicating that the person had been there not long ago. He didn't think about the exploration team. Upon closer inspection, he found a jade pendant around the neck of the corpse, the material of which he couldn't discern. Judging by its age, the fat man knew that it would definitely be worth a lot of money if taken outside.
I'm rich, I'm rich! At this moment, all the fat man can think of inside are these words in the barrage.
"This trip was not in vain."
The fat man happily took the jade pendant from the corpse's neck. He saw Huba Yi approaching out of the corner of his eye and cursed inwardly.
"What are you doing, Fatty?"
Huba Yi walked over and saw Fatty holding something. The corpse had not been moved away from his feet yet, so it was clear what he was doing at the moment.
"Put it down. Didn't I tell you not to be greedy before you came?"
Huba Yi I feel that the greedy will eventually be harmed by their own nature. While there's still a chance to be saved, it's better to pull them back in time.
"Good stuff, Old Hu!"
The windfall that was just obtained is gone just like that. The greedy person is unwilling in his heart, "He's already dead, it wouldn't hurt to take it. There's no danger even if it's a grave robbery."
In Fatty's view, this is an easy gain, and he can't understand why Huba Yi is so resistant to taking things from the dead.
"Put it back!" Huba Yi's voice turned cold after his persuasion was ignored.
"Alright, alright, I'll put it back as you say, I'll put it back." Fatty looked at the jade pendant he had already obtained with a pang of regret, it seems he won't be able to enjoy this windfall!
When it was time to put things back, Fatty took advantage of Huba Yi's inattention and quickly put the things into his pocket with a fake move faster than lightning. When he turned around and found that Huba Yi hadn't noticed his little trick, Fatty felt happy inside. After tasting the sweetness, Fatty started searching around again, thinking about whether he could find more good stuff.
Just as he was thinking, he discovered a body with a backpack underneath it. The backpack looked quite new and of good quality, clearly a top-notch item. However, the man wasn't interested in the backpack's material, no matter how good it was. His main concern was to see what was inside the backpack, as that was the real issue. "Books?"
After opening the backpack, there was something wrapped in leather inside, which looked like a book or a notebook. Not valuable. The fat man knew at first glance that this thing was not valuable, and continued to flip through the backpack with a slight disdain.
I finally found something good when I looked inside. You can tell from the chubby guy's smiling expression. It turns out there are three gold leaves inside the backpack. Although they're not very heavy, they can still fetch a good price if sold. It's not a waste to have such good material in the backpack. "Old Hu, come here, I've found something good."
Pangzi wanted to call Huba Yi quietly, but it seemed that either his voice was too low or Huba Yi was distracted by something else, as he didn't hear Pangzi until Shirle Yang urgently walked up behind him.
"Give me the thing!"
"What thing?"
Shirle Yang When she walked up to the chubby guy, he was taken aback. He saw her staring at the backpack in his hand and then understood, "I won't give it to you. Why should I give it to you? I found this bag myself."
The two of them argued in low voices, but they still attracted attention from the crowd, and everyone gathered around.
"Chubby, what did you take..."
Lin Ye was also nearby. Originally, the two of them searched the upper level but found nothing. Then he suggested looking downstairs. Who knew that Shirle Yang would see the fat man under the stairs and rush down. If it weren't for her hurried movements but also looking around, Lin Ye would have been worried that the already sleeping firefly would be awakened. "I'll say it again, give me the bag!"
At this point, Shile Yang could no longer hear anyone speaking. She stared at the backpack in the fat man's hand, and when he still didn't give her the things, she simply raised the gun in her hand and pointed it at him. Pointing a weapon at a companion is a big taboo, Lin Ye disapproved as he looked at Shirle Yang, but she didn't care about that at the moment. "Hey, what are you doing, I..."
"Chubby, give the stuff to Shirle Yang quickly, hurry up." Shirle Yang is a lunatic, Huba Yi is afraid that if Chubby doesn't give her the backpack, this woman might actually shoot.
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to her!"
Through gritted teeth, it's clear that Chubby is also angry at the moment.
No matter how big the anger is, it's just a little brother in the face of life and death. He had to hand over the backpack in his hand to Shirle Yang, "Here, be careful with the gun, don't accidentally fire it."
"Give it to me."
The cold-eyed beauty didn't even look at the fat guy, she just took the backpack straight and took out the thing wrapped in leather from inside, then handed the backpack back to the fat guy.
"Turns out you wanted this book. You should have said so earlier, why go through all the trouble." Useless things that you don't even bother to look at, what a false alarm.
"This isn't just any book, it's the notebook we've been looking for all along."
Shirle Yang opened the leather cover and confirmed that the notebook was intact, now she was in the mood to explain it to Fatty.
"Is this the notebook we spent so much time and effort looking for?" Fatty looked at Huba Yi, was it what he had in mind?
The latter nodded and didn't look at him again.
"......"
"Okay, it's his fault. He didn't even bother to look at the things right in front of him and almost caused a big problem. The chubby guy felt very embarrassed, the backpack in his hand was a bit hot. 'This backpack was originally for carrying a laptop, here, take it,' he said as he handed the backpack to Shirley Yang. 'Don't you really like this backpack?'"
"Why were you protecting her just now? If she hadn't taken out the gun, Fatty wouldn't have been willing to give it to himself," Shirley Yang looked at him in confusion, not quite understanding his meaning.
"Well... I guess Fatty likes the gold leaf inside the backpack," Lin Ye touched his nose, directly exposing Fatty's love for money.
So that's how it is.
Shirley Yang, who understood the cause and effect, handed the three gold leaves from inside her backpack to the fat man, saying, "It's good to be greedy, but being too greedy could cost you your life."
Just now, there was a moment when Shirley Yang wanted to shoot, but she was constantly reminded that the person in front of her was a teammate, so she refrained from pulling the trigger.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shirley, let me see the notebook," Professor Chen stepped forward, took the notebook from Shirley Yang's hand, and after carefully examining it, he decisively confirmed, "Yes, this is the notebook that belonged to Shirley Yang's father."
Great, now that the notebook has been found, they are one step closer to the Lost Ancient City. Professor Chen was happier than anyone else.
"No, this is the notebook that belonged to Shirley Yang's father. So the body we just saw was..." The fat man didn't dare to continue, fearing that speaking out would get him held at gunpoint. It's better to say less.
"It's not my father."
Shirley Yang said decisively, not even bothering to check the body, and directly rejected the fat man's speculation.
The atmosphere here suddenly turned cold. Lin Ye and Huba Yi glanced at each other and consciously stopped discussing the topic.
"..." The chubby guy who had said the wrong thing slapped his head in frustration. "Alright, alright, since the notebook has been found, should we go up now?"
Considering the time, the super blizzard is almost here. If we don't leave now, we really won't be able to leave later!
"It's almost time, the burial site is almost fully researched," all that's left is to take photos and file them away. There's no need to report any of this to Huba Yi, so Heguo Ai said to keep half and leave half. The people from the archaeological team understand, and they're also urging the students to wrap up and leave quickly.
Click, click, at this moment, the burial site suddenly had a flash of light, and with the intense light, the surrounding firefly once again became active.
Everyone held their breath and waited quietly for the firefly to fall asleep again, but it was in vain. The Blu-ray lights around them gradually became dazzling.
This time, they truly woke up completely.
"What's going on?!" Heguo Ai was stunned. How could these ghostly things wake up and leave?
Originally, a member of the archaeological team forgot to turn off the flash while taking photos, which startled the fireflies. "What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and go!" If they didn't leave soon, it would be too late. Taking advantage of the fireflies' lack of reaction, Lin Ye led the group back the way they came.
"Hurry, hurry, let's go this way."
With Lin Ye's voice, Huba Yi and the others also reacted, and immediately took action to escort Professor Chen away, leaving him behind. "Don't panic, don't panic..."
Although Huba Yi has already warned, but seeing so many fireflies, who wouldn't be afraid? Everyone rushed to the back, forgetting even their belongings in their haste. Some even threw away their things to run faster.
"Ah! It hurts so much, damn it!"
A mercenary running behind was engulfed by a flying firefly, and the whole person caught fire. Soon, there was nothing left but ashes on the ground, and even the ashes disappeared in the end.
Seeing this situation, how could everyone not be afraid? They ran even more desperately than before.
With so many people making noise, more and more fireflies were awakened from their slumber, densely emitting Blu-ray light as they flew towards Lin Ye and his group.
"Everyone, quickly jump into the dark river," Lin Ye said urgently as a swarm of fireflies flew towards them.
"Yes, everyone quickly jump into the river!"
At this moment, Fatty and Huba Yi also reacted and hurriedly jumped into the river.
Either way, it's a matter of life and death, and jumping into the river might save a life.
Everyone held their breath and submerged in the water. Suddenly, a swarm of fireflies flew over and with a sizzle, turned the entire group into ashes upon contact with the water.
Those hiding inside the river breathed a sigh of relief as the danger passed, and one by one, they emerged from the water.
Unbeknownst to them, although the threat of the fireflies had been eliminated, there were still unknown creatures in the river who had already taken notice of their presence.
"It was a close call. We almost lost Fat Grandpa right here!" The chubby guy said this with lingering fear. He never expected that these fireflies would turn to ashes upon contact with water. At least for now, this was useful for them. In case the fireflies flew over again later, they could just hide in the river.
It has to be said that the chubby guy's idea was very idealistic, but reality gave him a harsh slap.
The idea had just formed in Fatty's mind when the fierce beast in the river launched an attack on them. In the dim and cold river water, a member of the archaeological team, Little Wow, let out a scream, "What's biting me?!" Luckily, he had a weapon in his hand and had just struck the monster, taking the opportunity to leave the spot and move towards the shallower part of the river.
"Little Wow, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Ye stepped forward to take a look, only to see the young man from the ethnic minority group turning pale, with cold sweat covering his forehead, clearly in extreme pain.
"My leg..."
Little Wow made a sound, just feeling a slight bite on his leg earlier and not feeling much pain. But now it seems that his leg is almost bitten off by the monster, with blood continuously gushing out and dyeing the river surface red.
Under the strong smell of blood, the monster left the deep water area and swam towards Little Wow, seemingly attracted by the blood flowing from his leg, rather than by Little Wow himself.
"Turn on the lights, everyone turn on the lights, and pay attention to the movement in the river."
Lin Ye reminded everyone to pay attention to the monster in the river, and as the lights turned on, everyone could see the monster on the river surface.
A huge creature swam rapidly towards Little Wow, who kept retreating but the distance was getting shorter. Just as the monster was about to launch a second attack, the strong man picked up a seven or eight-pound stone from the river and hurled it towards the creature.
For a moment, water splashed everywhere, and the monster howled and temporarily sank into the water. Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Ye called everyone out of the river, and it should be safe on the shore.
Once everyone was out, Lin Ye realized that staying on the shore was not a solution. The demon Taric's firefly could swoop down on them at any moment, but there was also a huge dangerous creature in the river. For a while, they didn't know what to do, and everyone stood still, afraid to move.
Unable to advance or retreat, this is the best portrayal of Lin Ye's current situation.
"Sss~"
The sound of Little Wow's painful cry brought everyone's attention back. Soon, someone came over to bandage Little Wow's wound. A large piece of flesh was torn directly from his thigh, no wonder it hurt so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The fat man couldn't bear to look at the tragic scene for a second time, so he gritted his teeth and stared at the river, fearing that the monster would come up and launch an attack.
"Old Hu, do you have any good ideas?"
At this point, there's no way to go through the river, but the only way back is through the underground river. There's no other way out if we don't go back the way we came.
"No, now we can only take this dark river, there is no other choice." At first, Huba Yi wanted to go back to The Nine-Story Demon Tower to see if there was another way out, but looking at the dazzling Blu-ray above, he quickly gave up that plan. Compared to an unknown monster and a group of fireflies that could turn a person into ashes in less than a second, the former didn't seem so scary after all.
In front of an unknown monster and behind firefly, everyone didn't know what to do for a moment, all looking to Huba Yi and Lin Ye hoping that they could quickly come up with a way to leave. "Comrade Lin Ye, do we really have no other options?" Professor Chen looked at his students and then at the dark river in front of him. If he had a beard, it would probably be standing on end from anxiety.
"Professor Chen, don't worry, calm them down first. There will always be a solution."
Once people panic, everything can go awry, so for now, Lin Ye can only ask Professor Chen to stabilize his people. As for the people brought by Shirley Yang, they are all hovering between life and death in the midst of gunfire. Apart from the initial panic on their faces, they have all calmed down now.
People who have experienced life and death are different, Lin Ye silently admired in his heart.
He felt that the people on his side were not much worse, but most of the members of the archaeological team were younger and less experienced. It was understandable that things got out of hand for a while. So now is not the time to panic. Fortunately, Professor Chen's authority is still there, and he quickly calmed his people down. When everyone had calmed down and stopped panicking, Huba Yi came to Lin Ye and, after much thought, said with difficulty, "There's no way back to the Demon Tower behind us. Not to mention the abundance of fireflies, if there are still traps inside, there won't be enough of us to deal with them."
Huba Yi makes a lot of sense. The Nine-Story Demon Tower is indeed a place we can't go back to, and Lin Ye agrees with this. "If we can't go anywhere, is there really no way? Are we just going to stay here and waste time?" Shirle Yang saw that even Huba Yi had no solution and turned hopeful eyes to Lin Ye, "Do you have no way either?"
"All methods are devised by people. Whether they work or not depends on you."
Lin Ye couldn't deny that he had enjoyed the attention from Shirley Yang just now. No wonder in ancient times, there were always emperors who couldn't resist the beauty's schemes and staged the drama of 'fanning the flames and playing off the lords'. It seems that the ancients did not deceive me.
Being looked at by Shirley Yang like this, Lin Ye had to come up with a solution, even if he didn't have one, otherwise wouldn't it be disappointing for the beauty.
"How do you say it?" Seeing that there was a chance, Shirley Yang looked at Lin Ye with even more urgency.
It was indeed urgent. If they didn't hurry up, a blizzard would come, and who knows what butterfly effect would occur under the glacier. It's better to go up early.
Professor Chen and his students, along with the people she brought, totaled more than a dozen or twenty. These were all living lives. It's impossible for Shirley to not feel anything if they were all to be lost here, to be honest.
Now we can only hope that Lin Ye can successfully lead them out of here.
"We'll still go through the underground river. Old Hu and I will attract the attention of the monsters, and you can take the opportunity to cross the river."
After all, they have to cross the river. Lin Ye knows that although this method is dangerous, it has greatly reduced the casualty rate. Coupled with his upgraded and modified body, taking down a few monsters is just a matter of minutes.
"Okay," Huba Yi nodded, indicating his agreement with Lin Ye's idea. As everyone was discussing how to cross the river, a monster lurking in the shadows couldn't wait any longer and climbed up. They saw a giant fish monster several meters long.
It's not an exaggeration to call it a fish monster. This creature has four claws, horns on its head, a red body, and a mouth full of densely packed teeth. A bite from it would be fatal, and it also has a huge tail that can shatter rocks on the shore with a single strike, showing just how immense its strength is. With such terrifying brute force, it seems that close combat is not an option. Fortunately, Lin Ye and the others are planning to use guns to deal with the monster, so they won't need to get too close.
"What... Professor, what kind of monster is this? It's so terrifying!"
Chu Jian is still the first time I've seen this kind of creature. For a moment, he almost thought this thing might be from outer space. "Do you think it's possible that aliens intentionally placed it here to guard the The Nine-Story Demon Tower behind it?"
It's not entirely impossible. The more Chu Jian thinks about it, the more he realizes that the truth might be stranger than fiction!
"Chu Jian, what nonsense are you talking about? Always thinking about aliens. We're here to do archaeological research, nothing to do with aliens!"
Heguo Ai has gone crazy, what's going on now?
At a critical moment, who would think about whether it's done by aliens? Shouldn't the first reaction upon seeing this monster be fear?
Heguo Ai deeply realizes for the first time that he knows nothing about the thoughts of young people today.
"This should be the prehistoric Hellbender that was thought to have been extinct long ago. I always thought it was just a legend, but I never expected to see such a creature in reality."
After seeing the true form of the monster, Professor Chen remembered seeing this creature in that book inside, and he never expected to not only see it in reality but also to be so fierce, huge, and terrifying.
Without hesitation, Lin Ye had already taken a gun and shot at the Hellbender, "Let's take advantage of this and leave now!" It was rare for this monster to come ashore on its own, so they didn't have to go to great lengths to lure it up.
"Chubby is protecting them as they cross the river. Hurry up, I don't know how much longer I can hold on!" Huba Yi also realized this, holding a weapon and instructing Lin Ye Yi to do the same to Hellbender, and finally not forgetting to instruct Chubby. "Don't worry, leave it to me, everyone follow me." Chubby led Professor Chen and the others away, and Little Wow also crossed the river with the help of Chu Jian.
"Be careful, I'll be waiting for you across the street."
Shirley Yang pondered for a moment, then left with a backpack containing a notebook.
Most of the people headed towards the river, where gunshots continued on the riverbank. Bullets kept piercing the monsters, causing a dark brown blood to seep out. The suffering monsters continued to wail, and the entire bottom of the glacier canyon echoed with a tragic cry, attracting a large number of fireflies.
"We need to settle this quickly."
Hellbender tough-skinned and thick, but ultimately unable to withstand the power of bullets, quickly fled into the river inside, but Lin Ye and Huba Yi are not to be trifled with, and the two of them flanked the monster, preventing it from approaching the dark river.
"firefly is coming over."
Groups of Blu-ray are flying over here, and even before they get close, you can hear the flapping of their wings. Judging from the sound, you can tell that the scale of the Blu-ray is not small.
"No time left," Lin Ye thought to himself, but his hands didn't stop moving. After firing a few shots, he ran out of bullets.
Lin Ye threw the gun away and glanced at Huba Yi. Like himself, he had also run out of bullets. At this point, most of the members of the archaeological team had already crossed the river and were now climbing up with ropes.
"I don't care, I'll take a gamble!" Before Huba Yi could understand Lin Ye's words, he suddenly jumped in front of the monster and engaged in close combat, using his fists to fight the monster. The injured Hellbender looked like it was on its last breath, but after all, it was a species that had survived for who knows how many years, and it wasn't that easy to kill.
It saw that Lin Ye actually dared to appear in front of it empty-handed, feeling scorned. With anger and the old grudge from earlier, it went crazy, using its huge tail and sharp mouth to attack Lin Ye.
The huge body was not as agile as Lin Ye, and after a dozen punches, Hellbender gradually began to struggle, and its movements became slower.
Looking at Lin Ye, as if he was seeing red, he continued to smash the monster's head with his fist as if it didn't cost anything, until the creature under his feet stopped moving, and only then did he stop.
The series of actions was watched from the side by Huba Yi, and his jaw almost dropped. He had always known that Lin Ye was very powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so brutal, daring to fight alone against the prehistoric Hellbender. It was probably a unique feat in history. Huba Yi thought about what would happen if he were to face Hellbender alone...
Don't bother thinking about it. By now, it's already offline and cold, not even a goodbye is necessary.
Looking at it from Lin Ye's perspective, he only went to face Hellbender with a mindset of just trying it out. Ultimately, he just wanted to experience if his human peak body is as powerful as the system claims.
In case the system is actually biased, then next time Lin Ye won't be so reckless to confront creatures that are not on par with himself.
Regarding Hellbender, Lin Ye actually has his own thoughts. On one hand, he has already used weapons to beat this monster thoroughly, so even if he were to go up bare-handed and couldn't win, he could still leave safely. On the other hand, it's also because Huba Yi is here. He wants the original protagonist to be completely convinced and impressed. Without showing a little bit of his own skills, it's probably just verbal persuasion without true conviction. Along this journey, he probably won't completely listen to himself. Now that Lin Ye has shown his strength, he thinks that his recent actions should have stirred up quite a storm in Huba Yi's heart.
I have to say that after venting, Lin Ye feels so good. I didn't expect the terrifying strength of the human peak. He can knock down Hellbender with every punch and still show off in front of the original protagonist. Awesome!
"Hey Old Hu, what are you still standing there for? Let's go."
Seeing Huba Yi still in a daze, Lin Ye secretly laughed in his heart but managed to hold back from showing it on his face, "The firefly is coming over."
Saying that, he quickly crossed the river and took the weapon from the archaeological team member's hand. "You guys go up first, or should I cover the rear with Old Hu."
Lin Ye glanced at the top of the glacier. Professor Chen had already climbed halfway. It was estimated that he would be much faster coming down than they would be going up. After all, it was a matter of life and death, and it was not impossible to stimulate human potential.
"Brother Lin Ye, you are amazing!"
Huba Yi reacted and followed across the river, obviously still not recovered from the shock of Lin Ye single-handedly killing the Hellbender just now.
How... how can someone be so powerful? Could Lin Ye's fist be made of iron?
Huba Yi just went to look at the Hellbender's body, and the monster's head was already a bloody mess, showing how brutal Lin Ye's fist was.
"Uh, just so-so."
While replying to Huba Yi on one hand, Lin Ye didn't stop and threw a weapon to him, with a clear intention, "It's time for us to show our skills again."
"Got it!"
It's just firefly, that's all. Just do it.
The bullets exploded in the air. The two of them had limited energy and a high hit rate against firefly, but they couldn't resist so many firefly for long. Soon, they were forced to retreat step by step.
"Old Hu, throw the grenade ahead and blow them up!"
This is not the way to go. Lin Ye saw a hand grenade on the backpack behind Huba Yi and asked him to pick it up and throw it into the air.
"Okay."
Huba Yi understood and picked up a hand grenade, pulled the pin, but before he could throw it, Lin Ye stopped him. "Old Hu, wait, trust me!"
"Old Hu What are you doing? Hurry up and throw the grenade out!"
The fat guy climbed up and wanted to check on Huba Yi, but when he saw the situation, he was almost scared out of his wits.
He saw Huba Yi holding a grenade with the pin already pulled out. If he didn't throw the grenade out soon, it would explode. How could the fat guy watching from the wall not be anxious?
Unfortunately, no matter how anxious he was, it was of no use. It was too late to go down now, so he could only shout at Huba Yi not to be foolish.
Now, if you ask whether Huba Yi is scared, the answer is definitely yes!
The hand grenade in his hand is rapidly emitting smoke. If he can't control the time, it will explode in the next second. This is a life-threatening situation that anyone would be afraid of and feel anxious about!
"Alright, Old Hu, throw it out quickly!"
Lin Ye was calculating the time, with less than three seconds before the hand grenade would explode. He immediately shouted to Huba Yi to throw the hand grenade in his hand. Without any hesitation, Huba Yi threw the deadly object as soon as he heard the command. A group of firefly were flying towards them, unaware of their impending doom. At this moment, there was a slight mishap with the hand grenade. It hit a rock and seemed like it was about to fall to the ground, which meant that Lin Ye's plan for the hand grenade to explode in the air was clearly going to fail.
Without wasting any time, Lin Ye calmly raised the gun in his hand and fired two shots, each grazing the hand grenade. The trajectory of the hand grenade, which was about to land, changed suddenly, flying into the air. When it exploded, it conveniently wiped out a large group of firefly.
The result was obviously good, but the loud explosion also attracted more fireflies to come over, watching clusters of Blu-ray flying over from behind. Huba Yi didn't care about anything else and just grabbed the rope and climbed up.
The two of them climbed at a fast speed and soon caught up with Shirle Yang in front. The fat guy stopped because he was worried that Huba Yi had stopped somewhere.
"Fat guy, what are you standing there for? Come up!"
Huba Yi thought the fat man was worried about himself, so he shook his head quickly to indicate that he was fine and urged him to go up quickly. "There are still firefly behind, I don't know how to shake them off when we go up later." It's a headache just thinking about it. But no matter how much of a headache it is, we have to go up and figure it out. There will always be a solution to other things.
Lin Ye also climbed up panting, and even pulled a beautiful woman, Shirle Yang, up with him. "Be careful, if you fall now, no one will be able to save you."
Seeing a group of fireflies about to approach, falling to the ground would mean colliding with these insects.
"Thank you for your concern, but I'm not that weak." After thanking him, Shirle Yang tightened the backpack in her hand and focused on climbing up the rope.
Lin Ye shook his head and chuckled at the sight. The female lead was indeed stubborn and tough-mouthed. He had just seen that Shirle Yang's hand was bleeding, but he wasn't sure if it was from the rope or from scraping against the rocks.
Unfortunately, his good intentions didn't receive much of a response, so Lin Ye decided not to dwell on it. Just as he was gathering his scattered thoughts, he heard a cry from above. A person was falling straight towards their direction, and it looked like they were about to collide with Shirle Yang. Lin Ye acted quickly, pushing her just in time to prevent both of them from falling.
"Ah, my bag!"
A series of continuous actions caused Shirle Yang's backpack to accidentally fall down along with it, barely hanging below the ice layer. She didn't want to go down, but was stopped by Lin Ye.
"You're crazy, going down now is asking for death!"
"I..." Shirle Yang had just wanted to retort when she was interrupted by a loud noise from below. A scream rang out, and Lin Ye looked down to see that the person who had fallen was Little Wow, who was now struggling to crawl forward while clutching his already injured legs. "Little Wow, what are you trying to do!"
Lin Ye saw what Little Wow was holding and immediately knew what the person below was planning to do.
This person wants to die together with firefly!
"Don't be silly..."
Huba Yi also saw Little Wow, but now they have no other way to stop Little Wow from doing silly things.
"You guys go quickly, Professor Chen, I'm sorry, Captain!"
He hasn't learned from Captain Huba Yi yet, and can't go Archaeology with Professor Chen to search for the legendary The Lost Ancient City ruins.
Little Wow can't help but feel regretful, but he also knows his current situation. Perhaps this is how his life will end, buried in the Kunlun Mountains, at least he will have a companion with his former comrades Brothers.
"Don't go, Little Wow..."
Bang!
It is quite obvious that Little Wow pulled the pin of the hand grenade without hesitation and charged towards firefly. Due to a foot injury, he was limping as he walked. The blast wave almost knocked down Lin Ye and the others not far above the glacier.
For a moment, sparks flew everywhere, and Little Wow's body was torn apart by the violent explosion, leaving no intact remains.
Tears glistened in Huba Yi's eyes, and Lin Ye couldn't bear to watch such a cruel scene below.
In the time it took to be lost in thought, Lin Ye Yi didn't pay attention and lost sight of Shirle Yang. When he came to his senses, she had already walked to the bottom of the glacier and retrieved the backpack that had fallen earlier.
"This woman..." Lin Ye closed his eyes, not wanting to see. Did she not realize that one of her actions could potentially endanger the whole team?
Just thinking about it for a moment, one can understand why Shirle Yang did what she did. They went through great lengths to come to Kunlun Glacier just for that small notebook in Shirle Yang's hands. It was only by obtaining this notebook that their journey would be fruitful; otherwise, Little Wow and those who had already sacrificed their lives would have died in vain. It's just that this price was paid with lives.
Thinking about it this way, Shirle Yang's disregard for life in order to retrieve the notebook is also worthy of Lin Ye's admiration.
If it were someone else, they might not have the courage of Shirle Yang!
You only live once, once it's gone, it's really gone!
Of course, the above is just a joke made by Lin Ye himself. He won't really be left out in the cold, with the system by his side, he probably won't be left out in the cold for the rest of his life.
"Shirle Yang Watch out behind you!"
Lin Ye was feeling good about himself, but the next second he noticed a small group of about a dozen seemingly indestructible fireflies flying towards Shirle Yang, but they just circled around her and then flew away.
This magical scene was all seen by Lin Ye and Huba Yi above, planting a seed of doubt, not knowing if it would take root and grow into a towering tree that day.
Why doesn't firefly attack Shirle Yang?
The reversal came too quickly, and they were all puzzled.
This is too strange, Lin Ye saw the same doubt in Huba Yi's eyes, but the answer obviously didn't fit the current situation to break the pot.
Moreover, according to Shirle Yang's personality, it's possible that we won't get a definite answer.
"Hey, are you guys hatching eggs down there? Why don't you come up..."
The fat guy climbed up and looked down. Well, three people were standing below, and Shirle Yang was even more excessive. Instead of coming up, she even retreated a lot, which was extremely annoying.
"Hurry up, do you three want to be buried alive?"
As he spoke, he beckoned people to come over and pull the ropes. In less than a moment, Lin Ye and the others who had survived the disaster finally climbed onto the glacier. But before they could catch their breath, a huge blizzard caused the snow-capped mountain on the other side of the crevice to collapse due to the excessive snow.
"Hurry, don't take anything with you!"
Lin Ye pulled Shirle Yang and ran. Looking back, Ye Xin and Xiao Liu were still trying to pick up the instruments on the ground. Their voices immediately turned cold, "You're almost out of time and still thinking about these things. Hurry, help the professor and follow me to run!"
"Oh, okay... I understand!"
Scared by Lin Ye's expression, Ye Xin hurriedly went to help Professor Chen and quickly caught up with Lin Ye and the others.
The crowd had just left and ran to the mountains when they heard a rumble. The entire glacier crevice was sealed by the ice on the Kunlun Mountains, filling it up.
The Nine-Story Demon Tower, hiding countless secrets, and the legendary creature, the firefly, were forever buried inside the Kunlun Mountains, unable to see the light of day again.
It is believed that besides the endless snow-capped mountains, there is no other danger for people to visit the Kunlun Glacier.
Until a good half day later, everyone suddenly felt as if they had just crawled back from the gates of hell, with lingering fear in their hearts and an unstoppable sense of dread.
"Little Wow......"
Ye Xin was the girl who couldn't bear to see anyone leave or die. Upon learning of Little Wow's sacrifice, she burst into tears on the spot.
Huba Yi murmured to himself, looking guiltily in the direction of the canyon. If he hadn't let Little Wow follow the archaeological team from the beginning, could the tragedy have been avoided? But would there still be a second Little Wow, a third...
Some things are destined to happen and cannot be avoided, whether by human intervention or by fate!
