Because Hu Bayi was the team leader, he checked with Professor Chen and found out that only Ye Yixin could not go down due to fear of heights and the need to check the situation. The other archaeological team members all wanted to go down to the ice cave and explore the ancient tombs inside.

Hu Bayi couldn't say anything, so he could only agree. But before going down, I made it clear to the team members that because the situation here is unknown, there may be strange phenomena, creatures, or even corpses. Don't be nervous and adapt to any situation.

After Zhao Shucheng discussed with Hu Bayi, he went down first, followed by Hu Bayi, followed by Wang Kaixuan and others.

After Zhao Shucheng rope was lowered, he saw the situation at the bottom of the valley and said, "No problem, Lao Hu, you can come down now."

Zhao Shucheng's speed of rappelling surprised everyone else. When they heard that there was no problem, they slid down one by one.

After everyone and supplies reached the bottom, the number of people and supplies were counted. The big soldier said to Gawa: "You take stock of the supplies, and Gawa and I will go take a look around."

Zhao Shucheng stopped them and said, "No, Gawa, big man, although you are warriors, this archaeological work is not the same as fighting." We still need professionals like us here, you just need to be responsible for vigilance. '

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng took a flashlight and began to explore along the bottom of the valley. After a while, he saw a body.

Seeing that Zhao Shucheng was about to step forward to check, Wang Kaixuan said nervously: "Don't move, be careful not to disturb the flaming insects."

"That's Fire Ladybug!"

Zhao Shucheng said: "Don't worry, if fire ladybugs really existed, then this body would not be here intact like you, but would have been burned to a pile of ashes long ago."

After hearing this, Wang Kaixuan also knew that he was a little frightened, and said to Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, is this your comrade?"

"No, the clothes are completely different. They are not from our place, but similar to..." Hu Bayi said and looked at the clothes on Yang Xueli.

At this time, Shirley Yang had also come to the body. After looking at it, she said, "These should be members of my father's expedition team. Their clothes are similar to mine, and I still have their clothes at home."

Since it was confirmed that the expedition team had been here before, it meant that Shirley Yang had received the information correctly, so the group continued to move forward.

After a while, the first thing the group saw was not an ancient tomb, but a large pile of mica.

Hao Aiguo got a little excited when he saw this, and pointed at the mica to explain the situation to everyone. However, Fatty Wang was not interested at all. When he heard that the mica was worthless, he curled his lips and continued on his way.

After a while, everyone walked 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 other side, and said, "It seems we need to wade across."

However, Zhao Shucheng frowned and looked at the river water, and said to Hu Bayi: "After entering the water for a while, let everyone move quickly and be more vigilant."

Hu Bayi asked curiously: "What's wrong?" '

Zhao Shucheng said: 'Since there are ancient tombs and even fire ladybugs in this place, don't you think that only fire ladybugs exist? They say there is an antidote within three steps. Although fire ladybugs are not poisonous, from a biological point of view, since fire ladybugs have not become widespread, they must be mutually reinforcing. The fire ladybug's fear of water only means that its nemesis is in the water. '

Zhao Shucheng looked not far away as he spoke, and continued to say to Hu Bayi: "Since we are in the water, and we don't know how big this creature is, it's better to be careful. What's more, the corpse just now also told Us, the danger of this place.”

Hu Bayi was not a little scared after hearing this. There was no danger along the way. It could even be said to be like an outing. Hu Bayi himself couldn't help but relax his vigilance, but he forgot about the possible dangers in the ancient tomb.

Wang Kaixuan asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "Fat man, do you still remember the characteristics of the corpse just now? They are here to explore. This place is so hidden. Is it necessary to keep a gun in hand and be ready to shoot at any time?"

"Perhaps I encountered a fire ladybug, so..."

Hu Bayi interrupted Fatty Wang, frowned and said: "Impossible, Fire Ladybug's body would not be like this, but burned to ashes, or disappeared directly, there would not be only external injuries. . So he must have been in danger and needed to shoot, but the other party did not stay or left injured."

Others also heard the conversation between Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi. Although they did not believe that there were aquatic creatures in such a place, they were careful and prepared to do as Zhao Shucheng said. After entering the water, they should move gently and speed up to cross the river. .

At this time, everyone suddenly realized that Yang Xueli had not followed, and they couldn't help but feel worried. At this time, Shirley Yang followed up with a camera, claiming that she was going to take pictures of the scenery.

Fatty Wang was a little suspicious, feeling that Shirley Yang was not telling the truth, and was even hiding something from everyone.

Hu Bayi told Fatty not to worry so much and just pay attention to the dangers themselves.

Zhao Shucheng took the lead in wading across the river and saw a cave entrance not far from the river bank, which should be the nine-story demon tower.

Professor Chen was pleasantly surprised to find the same ghost cave inscriptions on the wall of a cave by the river as those engraved on the jade piece on Fatty Wang. Professor Chen happily concluded that this place must be related to the ancient city of Jingjue. Professor Chen left a group of students to record the words on the wall and asked Hu Ba to lead them across the river.

Ye Yixin and soldier Xiao Liu were responsible for contacting the archaeological team and the garrison camp on the ground. After learning that there would be a snowstorm in a while, they quickly contacted the archaeological team and asked everyone to evacuate in an hour.

After Professor Chen found out, although he was unwilling to leave so quickly, he also knew that if there was a snowstorm, the group would be trapped underground and have no choice but to wait for death, so he had no choice but to promise that he would go up there in an hour no matter what the situation was.

When Zhao Shucheng saw others about to enter the cave, he quickly stopped in front and said, "Wait a minute, this is the ancient tomb, and there are fire ladybugs inside, so be careful and careful." If you wake up the fire ladybugs, especially if you see them coming towards you, don't worry about anything else, and don't think about fighting. Try to escape back to the river and bury yourself in the river water. '

"The presence of fire ladybugs here means that they like darkness rather than light. Try not to shine flashlights or other lighting items directly, or even turn them off as much as possible. Flashlights, in particular, are more likely to irritate fire ladybugs."

As Zhao Shucheng said that, he turned on the flashlight and shined a light into the cave. He saw that inside was a dilapidated tower emitting a faint blue light. What was even more frightening was that the whole building was covered with white corpses and sleeping corpses. fire ladybug.

It seemed that they were aware of Zhao Shucheng's light, and these fire ladybugs showed signs of waking up. Fortunately, Zhao Shucheng just glanced at them and quickly turned off the flashlight.

The others were actually right next to Zhao Shucheng, so they naturally noticed what had just happened. They were all nervous and quickly turned off the searchlights above their heads. Fortunately, I turned off the flashlight, because the fire ladybug inadvertently emitted light, so there was still enough sight in here.

After Gawa saw what was going on inside, she knelt on the ground and started kowtow. Seeing Gawa like this, the big man quickly pulled him up and asked, "Gawa, what are you doing? You are still wearing a military uniform and engaging in feudal superstition."

"What place is this? So many people died." Fatty Wang asked curiously.

Professor Chen looked forward excitedly and said: "This is the legendary nine-story demon tower. This is the burial form of the tombs of the ancient monarchs of the demonic kingdom."

Fatty Wang didn't know anything about the nine-story demon tower, but after hearing Professor Chen say that it was the tomb of an ancient demon king, he knew that there must be many antiques inside.

Hao Aiguo said: "Not only are there many antiques, everything here is worthy of study and is priceless."

Professor Chen also said: "Yes, Shirley, our visit this time is so valuable. Maybe your father came just for this nine-story monster building."

Hu Bayi said: "Don't disturb their sleep."

"Who are you talking about? A dead person?" Fatty Wang asked curiously.

"No, it's Fire Ladybug."

After everyone heard this, they saw blue light emitting from the nine-story demon building. They knew that this was the lair of Fire Ladybug, and they immediately became nervous.

The members of the archaeological team were observing the surroundings and saw white ashes on the ground. Upon closer inspection, they looked like traces of a human figure. It seemed to be the remnants of the people who had entered the tomb before being burned by fire ladybugs.

Hu Bayi hoped that everyone would evacuate, but Professor Chen and others were unwilling to give up this precious archaeological opportunity. Shirley Yang was unwilling to leave just yet because she hadn't gotten what she wanted.

Upon seeing this, Hu Bayi knew that there was no way to persuade everyone. He could only reiterate the danger here and let everyone be careful.

The members of the archaeological team began to conduct archaeological work near the entrance of the cave, while Shirley Yang left everyone behind and walked toward the nine-story demon building.

Hu Bayi was worried that Shirley Yang was alone, so he could only take Fatty Wang and follow him.

Zhao Shucheng is not worried that Hu Bayi and the others will be in danger. After all, they are the protagonists. With the aura of the protagonists, they will always avert danger. On the contrary, if the people of the archaeological team are not watching, they will definitely make some noise and wake up the fire ladybug, and everyone will be in danger.

The fat man discovered something when he went upstairs. There seemed to be antiques on a corpse. He couldn't help but stop and collect antiques. Of course, he also saw a bag, just like the expedition team bag he saw at the bottom of the valley before.

He bent down to pick it up, looked through it, and found a notebook inside. He couldn't help but take the notebook out and threw the bag on the ground.

Just when Fatty was about to look through the notebook, Shirley Yang turned around, saw the notebook in Fatty's hand, and said, "Give me the notebook!"

The fat man said unconvinced: "I discovered this, why should I give it to you?"

When Shirley Yang saw that the fat man was refusing to give her life or death, she immediately pointed the gun at Wang Kaixuan and said, "Give me the notebook!" '

This revelation surprised both Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang. Fatty Wang said, "Why do you point a gun at me? I asked you to hold a gun to protect everyone."

"Give me the bag!"

As soon as Hu Ba saw the two people, they were about to get into a fight. He came directly between them, stopped them, took the notebook out of Wang Kaixuan's hand, and handed it to Professor Chen on the side.

"is it?"

"Yes!"

When Satipeng saw the record in his notebook, he was excited and prepared to take a photo, but with the crisp sound of taking a photo, the light of the flash came.

This was like a bolt from the blue, making everyone nervous. The fire ladybugs were also awakened by the light of the flash and began to flap their wings and fly from the nine-story demon building.

Sa Di Peng said nervously: "I, I turned off the flash." '

"Okay, now it doesn't matter whether it was closed or not before. Everyone quickly returned to the river. When they encountered fire ladybugs, they squatted in the water. Speed. Everything that cannot be taken away was lost. Everything was packed lightly and simply. Behavior is heavy.”

Zhao Shucheng himself was at the back, observing the movements of the fire ladybugs. When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he saw that the fire ladybugs were already approaching, but the others were still some distance away from the river. If the Fire Ladybug cannot be prevented from approaching, although the person in front may escape the Fire Ladybug's pursuit, the person behind may not be so lucky.

Zhao Shucheng took a deep breath and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he could only stop and then directly cast the golden light spell, using the energy-type method to form a barrier directly at the entrance of the cave to block the pursuit of the fire ladybug.

Of course, Zhao Shucheng himself was nervous, and he didn't know if the Golden Light Curse could stop him. If he was burned through, he would have no choice but to flee in confusion, or simply return early.

Fortunately, although the Golden Light Spell is a technique from another world, it still works well in this world. Although the fire ladybug struck it and caused a flame, it only had some of the fire ladybug's own flames, so it didn't last long before it went out.

Of course, not just one or two fire ladybugs hit the golden light curse shield, so you can see sparks bursting out from the shield from time to time and then extinguished, like 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 said angrily: "What are you doing? Are you running for your life, or are you stopping to watch the show? I can't hold on for long."

The others realized after hearing this that Zhao Shucheng was buying them time, so they quickly continued to flee. After everyone had almost entered the river, Zhao Shucheng breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw the fire ladybugs who were still hitting the passport one after another, he didn't mean to continue to entangle, and ran away quickly, came to the river, and submerged directly into the river.

Fire Ladybug followed Zhao Shucheng's traces to the river. It seemed that it knew Zhao Shucheng's location and charged towards Zhao Shucheng's position. (End of chapter)
