Grave Robber: Beginnings Fusion Hydra Cypress

Er Yuehong sighed and talked about the past with a guilty look on his face.

Twenty years ago, Professor Yang, Shirley Yang's father, came to the foot of Zhalong Mountain with an expedition team, wanting to enter the Worm Valley in the name of archaeology.

In order to protect the secret of the Zhuchen Pearl, Er Yuehong tried his best to stop them. In this place where the emperor is far away, he is a respected elder in the local area. Without his permission, outsiders cannot enter the Worm Valley.

In desperation, Professor Yang found Er Yuehong and begged him, and told him his true purpose.

It turned out that Professor Yang was a business tycoon on Wall Street in the United States. Later, he fell in love with and married Shirley Yang's mother and gave birth to a daughter.

After learning about the ghost cave curse inherited from his wife's family, in order to save the two most important women in his life, he resolutely gave up his career, immersed himself in studying ancient Chinese history, and became a professor of archaeology.

After searching a large amount of ancient books and materials and years of research, Professor Yang judged that the Zhuchen Pearl was most likely hidden in the tomb of King Xian in Yunnan.

So he formed an expedition team and came to Yunnan to find the tomb of King Xian, with the sole purpose of finding the Zhuchen Pearl and saving his wife and daughter.

After listening to this story, Er Yuehong was moved by Professor Yang's sincerity. He himself was a man who valued love and righteousness. The experience of Shirley Yang and her daughter reminded him of the girl who had passed away.

In addition, Professor Yang was not a bad person with ulterior motives, but a man who stood tall and upright.

So Er Yuehong made a decision to lead the team into the Worm Valley in person to find the Zhuchen Pearl!

Under his leadership, the group crossed mountains and entered the hinterland of Zhalong Mountain - Worm Valley.

In order to avoid complications, they bypassed the husband and wife tree far away and walked in the dense forest for five days before reaching the Worm Valley.

The process in the middle was safe and sound. After arriving at the Worm Valley, the first problem they faced was how to pass through the miasma belt.

Although the expedition team had been prepared and carried gas masks and other items, it was surprising that these protective measures were relatively simple and could not effectively resist the miasma.

After losing a team member, they planned to go back and prepare before coming back.

But at this moment, the weather suddenly changed, and a strong wind blew in the valley, accompanied by thunder and rain, which actually blew away all the miasma!

Amidst the lightning and thunder, they didn't have time to think about it and immediately ran into the miasma belt.

They thought it was a godsend, but they didn't expect that when they ran halfway, the strong wind and rain suddenly stopped, the clouds and fog dissipated, the weather became clear, and the miasma gathered again.

At this time, the expedition team was already in the depths of the miasma belt.

Soon the miasma surrounded everyone, and they couldn't move forward or backward.

In desperation, they didn't have time to think about it, and could only run wildly in the direction they came from, hoping to get out of the miasma belt.

In the end, only Er Yuehong and Professor Yang were left to run out of the miasma belt, and all the other team members died under the miasma!

When the two came to their senses, they found that they ran in the wrong direction. Instead of getting out of the miasma belt, they entered the deepest part.

Professor Yang said that this was God's will. In this case, it would be better to find the tomb of King Xian first.

So the two continued to move forward, and soon found a ruined mountain temple.

Just as Hu Bayi predicted, there was indeed a stone sculpture of a toad in the mountain temple, which was the signpost pointing to the tomb of King Xian!

After Professor Yang found this important clue, he was overjoyed and thought that the Zhuchen Pearl was just around the corner.

Because he was overwhelmed by the sudden joy, he was careless for a moment and triggered the fatal mechanism!

At this point, Er Yuehong lowered his head with guilt, tears flashing in his eyes.

"I was less than three feet away from him at the time, but I couldn't save him. It was my fault."

Even after more than two thousand years, the mechanism is still extremely dangerous.

Arrows like a storm shot out from all directions, and a poisonous smoke quickly filled the surroundings.

Professor Yang was hit by dozens of arrows and inhaled the poisonous smoke. Even if the gods came down to earth, they couldn't save him.

Although Er Yuehong was a martial arts master, he could only barely protect himself because of the sudden incident. He was unable to rescue Professor Yang and escaped alone.

Later, he wandered in the Worm Valley for more than a month, and waited for the storm to blow away the miasma again before returning safely.

After experiencing this incident, Er Yuehong vowed not to enter the Worm Valley again due to deep self-blame, and would not allow anyone to enter.

It was not until the appearance of Ji Changsheng that he broke his oath.

After listening to Er Yuehong's story, Shirley Yang couldn't help trembling slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes, even though she had been mentally prepared.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi hurried to comfort her.

"Er Ye just said that your father was trapped, and it doesn't mean that..."

"Maybe uncle is a lucky person, and he may still be alive."

In fact, he didn't even believe this.

Professor Yang was just an ordinary person. He was seriously injured and inhaled poisonous smoke, so he would definitely not survive.

Even if she survived, this Worm Valley was full of dangers. A seriously injured person could not survive alone for twenty years in such a place.

Fortunately, Shirley Yang was braver than people thought. She lost her parents at a young age and grew up alone. She developed a strong and independent character and quickly cheered up.

"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body."

These eight short words showed her determination.

After learning about her father's whereabouts, nothing could stop her from moving forward!

Er Yuehong looked at Shirley Yang with a complicated expression. After a moment of silence, she nodded heavily.

"Child, I'll go with you."

Twenty years ago, he watched Professor Yang die in the mountain temple. Today, Professor Yang's daughter came here again, as if it was the reincarnation of fate.

Er Yuehong secretly made up his mind that he would never let the tragedy happen again this time.

Ji Changsheng comforted Shirley Yang and asked directly.

"Second Master, do you remember the location of the mountain temple?"

Er Yuehong nodded and pointed to the distance.

"It's just in front, and it will be there in another hour."

So everyone gathered their mood and continued to move forward.

Under the leadership of Er Yuehong, after walking for another hour, they finally saw the mountain temple that took Professor Yang's life.

A closer look showed that the temple was built on the mountain, with its back against the steep mountain wall. It was not large in scale and had long been dilapidated.

The roof of the porch was covered with vines. If it weren't for Er Yuehong leading the team, it would be difficult to find that there was a temple here.

After listening to Er Yuehong's story, everyone knew that the temple was extremely dangerous and full of traps and ambushes.

Even the two thick-skinned guys, Fatty and Wang Kaixuan, did not dare to act rashly.

Er Yuehong said with a serious look.

"Mr. Ji, we only triggered two mechanisms back then. We don't know how many mechanisms there are."

What he meant was, how should we get in?
