Chapter 56 Nine-Story Demon Tower
"Comrade Xiao Hu, Comrade Xiao Wang, this is the case...... Professor Chen hurriedly stood up as a peacemaker and explained to everyone.
"The avalanche was caused by a low-magnitude earthquake, not because of your gunfire, which I saw in an internal document, which was later confirmed by the Geological Bureau."
"The earthquake also shook a crack in the eastern foot of the Kunlun Glacier......
"Professor Chen, what does this have to do with us going to find the Exquisite Ancient City?" Ye Chen didn't want to listen to the other party's words, so he directly pointed out the topic.
Professor Chen thought for a moment and explained.
"A few years ago, there was a Sino-foreign joint expedition team to Xinjiang that was led by an old friend of mine, who was obsessed with the culture of the Western Regions."
"But on the way to the desert to find the exquisite ancient city, this expedition team changed its route for some reason, went to the Kunlun Glacier, and then they disappeared, and no one came back."
Hu Bayi, they finally understood, and dared to love this Miss Sydney Yang and Professor Chen Jiuren planned to go to the Kunlun Glacier to collect corpses.
In the end, Professor Chen and Sydney Yang still persuaded Hu Bayi and the two.
Kunlun Mountain
With the help of a few border guards, the group slowly came to a snowy place, and everyone put on warm clothes, fortunately, they had been prepared for a long time so as not to freeze to death.
However, Ye Chen didn't wear those, he was still wearing thin clothes, this cold air blew through him like a cool breeze, but he didn't feel anything, the mana was running, and he was a huge furnace in his body.
And Professor Chen and his entourage were stunned by this move, and they all praised Ye Chen's awesomeness, which was really extraordinary.
"Alright, according to the map display, we are almost at our destination!" At this moment, Professor Chen suddenly said.
"According to the previous route plan, in half an hour, we will reach the crack on the Kunlun Glacier!" Professor Chen said with a look of relief.
"In this way, we are one step closer to the Exquisite Ancient City!"
"Since it's half an hour away, we should be able to see that crack by now!" Ye Chen said and began to look around.
Sure enough, not far away, a seemingly thin slit came into view.
"Professor Chen, isn't it there?" Ye Chen pointed to that place and asked.
"Presumably, we'll hurry up and get there before noon, so we can go into the crack in the afternoon!" Professor Chen said excitedly.
"Good!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and their hearts began to be full of energy, and even the pace of progress was much faster!
After ups and downs along the way, everyone finally came to this big crack in the Kunlun Glacier, and from above, they couldn't see the bottom at a glance.
"Lao Hu, Lao Ye, so tall, how can we go down?" The fat man, who was afraid of heights, glanced at the edge of the crack and almost peed his pants in fright, and took a few steps back.
"You guys will put the rope in a while, climb the rock, and according to the previous plan, Xiaoye will look out for us on it!" Ye Chen said, and Hu Bayi also nodded.
This was all a plan made by everyone before, so everyone nodded and agreed.
"I'll go and show you the way first, and you follow." After Ye Chen finished speaking, he jumped directly into the crack.
"Old Ye! How did you just jump off. "The fat man was dumbfounded.
"You can also give it a try...... Hu Bayi teased.
"If I had Lao Ye's strength, I would ...... jump"
Coming to the bottom, Ye Chen found a corpse, Ye Chen swept it with his divine sense, and then didn't pay attention.
After a while, everyone came down.
"This should be a member of my father's expedition, it looks like we're in the right place this time!" After Staff Officer Yang came down, he examined the corpse and then spoke.
"Okay, now that the goal is clear, let's set off inside now, from now on, Lao Hu and I and the squad leader will go to the front, and the fat man and Gawa will go behind and break off!" Ye Chen said.
"Anything else to add? If not, I'm ready to go. ”
At this time, Hu Bayi, as the team leader, still has to say a few words.
"Everyone has a situation report, don't leave the team without permission!"
The group nodded, and began to move towards the depths of the cavern in the chasm.
Along the way, apart from Professor Hao and Professor Chen, and their students who were constantly lamenting the greatness of the natural world, nothing special happened.
Soon, everyone came to the edge of the dark river, and on the cave wall on the bank of the river, there were indeed a lot of words of the ghost cave clan.
In Ye Chen's opinion, it was the runes of various formations, Ye Chen directly burned into his brain, and then began to deduce.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Hu, let's cross the river now, I can't wait to see the situation on the other side!" Just as Ye Chen was still pondering, Professor Chen's voice came.
"Hmm!" Ye Chen nodded and took the lead towards the other side of the river.
"Huh! The river water here is warm, not cold! At this moment, Chu Jian, who was following behind, suddenly said, and stirred it up in the water with his hand.
"Indeed, I didn't expect that there would be such a wonderful scene under this Kunlun Glacier!" Professor Chen also sighed.
"Everyone, don't be emotional, since you all feel comfortable in the water, then other things must also feel comfortable, hurry up! Otherwise, it will not be good to encounter some strange creatures! Ye Chen said speechlessly.
At the same time, I am also complaining in my heart, nerds are nerds, I like to sigh when I have nothing to do, and I will call out the prehistoric overlord salamander after a while, and you will have feelings.
Just as Ye Chen was playing, suddenly a huge sound came out of the river, and then Chu Jian, who was paddling, suddenly let out a miserable scream, and the whole person sank into the water.
"Come ashore!" Ye Chen shouted loudly to the rest of the people, saying that if I take out an ordinary mortal soldier, the imperial soldier can't take it out, and even if it is taken out, it will directly crush this world.
Ye Chen quickly rushed towards the place where Chu Jian disappeared just now, and sure enough, he found Chu Jian who was struggling.
After Chu Jian was dragged into the water, he subconsciously hugged a stone in the water, so that the prehistoric overlord salamander could swallow Chu Jian into his stomach as soon as he came.
"Whew!"
Ye Chen drew his sword and swung out a sword qi, directly cutting off the tongue of the prehistoric overlord salamander, and then quickly brought Chu Jian to the shore.
"Thank you, Brother Ye!"
After Chu Jian went ashore, he took two deep breaths, "Brother Ye, thank you, if it weren't for you, I would ....."
"Let's move on, everybody! Don't be too curious here, if you're lucky, I can save you, but if you're unlucky, I can't help it. ”
"Okay, Mr. Ye, we'll pay attention." Everyone was in a state of apprehension.
"Old Ye, what is that?" The fat man leaned in front of Ye Chen and asked.
"Prehistoric Overlord Salamander!"
"Is that really that thing? That creature must have been extinct a long time ago, right? Professor Chen wondered.
"Professor Chen, now that we have arrived here, we must open our minds a little, if we haven't seen it, it is not necessarily extinct, it is very likely that we live in a place where people can't see it!"
"Let's go! There can't be only one of these creatures, so you have to have one male and one female to reproduce! Ye Chen said and walked towards the entrance of the cave on the other side of the river.
Although he is not afraid, he also does not want to make trouble for himself.
The rest of the people followed, and through a cave, they reached their destination.
That is: the nine-story demon tower!
"Wow, what is this, Professor?" After Chu Jian came in, he shouted out directly.
Accompanied by Chu Jian's loud voice, the entire nine-story demon tower began to light up.
"Be quiet!" Hu Bayi said solemnly to Chu Jian.
When the bright light flashed, Hu Bayi noticed those bright lights, which were the light emitted by the previous fire ladybugs, so the current old Hu began to tremble a little in his heart!
"It's fine!" Ye Chen patted Hu Bayi's shoulder, and then said to the people behind him.
"Professor, what is this?" Chu Jian whispered to Professor Chen.
"This should be a nine-story demon tower! Legend has it that after the death of the king of the ancient demon kingdom, he would be buried in the nine-story demon tower! Professor Chen said with emotion.
"Isn't it a nine-story demon tower? It's only seven floors! Ye Chen said on the side, which immediately embarrassed Professor Chen!
"In ancient times, the nine-story was a general reference, and in general metaphysics, nine was the extreme, so this form of tomb was called the nine-story demon tower!" Professor Chan began to explain.
However, in Ye Chen's opinion, he was forcibly explaining.
"Haha! I'm just curious. Ye Chen smiled awkwardly.
"I'll go inside with Miss Yang and the old fat man Hu, and you guys are outside to observe the surrounding situation!" Ye Chen began to command.
"Okay!"
After seeing each other's skills many times, everyone still admires him very much, and they will not have any opinions on his arrangement.
"Alright, be careful, the ladybug inside isn't a fuel-efficient lamp!" Ye Chen told again, his strength had been sealed by ninety-nine points, and now he couldn't beat the fire ladybug swarm.
Mana poured into his eyes, and Ye Chen continued to imprint the formation runes on the nine-story demon tower into his mind.
These formation runes were all the most basic, and with Ye Chen's soul strength, it was not a problem at all to understand.
"Be careful!"
Hu Bayi's voice suddenly came from the inside of the nine-story demon tower, followed by a scream from Sydney Yang.
"The fat man took the professor out with them." Ye Chen explained, and quickly ran towards the positions of Lao Hu and Staff Officer Yang.
"What's going on?"
"There was a strange snake that wanted to attack Miss Yang, and I killed it!" Lao Hu said with palpitations, and at the same time pointed to the black strange snake whose head had been slapped into mud on the ground!
"Isn't this a black snake that only appeared in the Exquisite Ancient City? Why is there also here? Ye Chen said in surprise in his heart, and at this moment, a buzzing sound came.
"Not good! Evacuate! Ye Chen suddenly thought that the voice just now had woken up the fire ladybug!
"But my father's notes haven't been found!" Sydney Yang said, obviously not wanting to go out.
"Don't look for it, I just saw the fat man pick up a notebook and take it out! Let's get out of here! Just as Ye Chen was speaking, a fire ladybug had already flown over and was directly cut in half by Ye Chen!
"Let's go!" Lao Hu quickly pulled Sydney Yang out, while Ye Chen broke off in the back, constantly smashing the fire ladybugs that came to attack.
