A comprehensive overview of tombs: starting with the Yellow Weasel's Tomb

Upon hearing this, the fat man's mind raced, and an idea immediately came to him.

Immediately, the fat man coughed and said, "Hmm, I understand now. One of you is looking for your father, and the other is after scientific research results."

Bai Jing ignored the fat man's words and instead couldn't help but scrutinize Hu Bayi's expression.

He saw that Hu Bayi was struggling with his decision, but Bai Jing understood Hu Bayi. He knew that even if it was just to find out the truth about what happened back then, Hu Bayi would definitely go.

Clearly, Bai Jing noticed it too, and Shirley Yang must have also noticed Hu Bayi's reaction.

So when the fat man asked for more money, Shirley Yang immediately refused.

But Hu Bayi immediately followed up by stating that he was going.

Seeing this, Bai Jing shook his head. Hu Bayi was easily controlled by Shirley Yang.

And so, after a three-day journey, the train finally arrived at the Kunlun Glacier.

Although this archaeological activity was funded by Shirley Yang, it was reported to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Beijing Municipal Administration of Cultural Heritage, so it can be considered a national-level activity.

Naturally, all kinds of letters of introduction and activity descriptions were readily available.

Bai Jing and his group easily received help from the local government and military.

The military leaders even dispatched a platoon of soldiers to protect their safety.

In addition, just in case, the group borrowed several sets of professional fireproof suits from the local fire department before setting off to deal with the possible encounter with the Dapu ghost insects.

Once everything was ready, the group donned their gear and, led by a squad of soldiers from the local area, entered the Kunlun Glacier.

Among the accompanying soldiers was a Tibetan soldier named Ga Wa, who was particularly talkative.

The journey was quite enjoyable.

And so the group set off on the Kunlun Glacier toward their destination.

Chapter 145 Entering the Ice Cave

Looking at the surrounding mountains and roads, Hu Bayi seemed to be suddenly pulled back to those years.

Suddenly, Hu Bayi called out to the tall squad leader who was leading the group, telling everyone to rest for a while. The group had brought a lot of supplies and were already very tired. Upon hearing the announcement to rest, they immediately put down their luggage and started to rest.

Then, looking at the increasingly familiar scene before him, Hu Bayi couldn't help but look around.

Bai Jing naturally noticed Hu Bayi looking around, and he immediately guessed that this must be the place where Hu Bayi's class had their accident back then.

At this point, the fat man, who was covered in sweat, couldn't help but ask Ga Wa, "Ga Wa, how much longer until we reach that ice cave?"

When Ga Wa heard this question, he was taken aback for a moment. They had never been to such a far place on patrol before, so he couldn't answer. He could only say, "We've actually never been to this place before. We've just been following Brother Hu."

Hu Bayi walked to a rock and then seemed to have discovered something. After digging around on the ground for a while, he pulled out a badge that read "Serve the People".

Bai Jing and Fatty were a little worried about Hu Bayi's condition, so they couldn't help but ask, "Old Hu, are these your comrade's belongings?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi nodded silently.

However, Bai Jing could tell from Hu Bayi's reaction that their destination shouldn't be too far away.

Sure enough, after a moment, Hu Bayi took a deep breath, stood up, and pointed in a direction, saying, "Look, that direction, it's about a mile away."

Upon hearing this, Professor Chen immediately encouraged everyone, saying, "Then let's hang in there a little longer, and get a good rest when we get there."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly got to work, and they set off on the road again.

Although it's only a kilometer away, the road to the Kunlun Glacier is still very difficult to travel in March.

It took them almost half an hour to walk that one kilometer to reach their destination.

It was already close to noon, so everyone immediately set up the tents and started preparing lunch.

Before setting off, Bai Jing specifically prepared self-heating packs, so even though it was freezing cold, everyone was able to eat a hot meal.

After lunch, everyone rested briefly before preparing to go down into the ice cave to take a look.

Apart from Ye Yixin and two soldiers who stayed behind, the rest of the people went down into the ice cave.

Before going down into the cave, everyone put on fireproof suits, and everything was ready.

Bai Jing looked at the fat man and asked, "Fatty, are you alright? Why don't you stay up there?"

The fat man was so scared that his eyes were almost closed, but he still forced himself to say, "It's okay, I'm fine."

Hu Bayi walked over at that moment and, seeing the fat man's appearance, immediately said, "Fatty, if you can't do it, don't try to be brave. Do you think we don't know you're afraid of heights? Everyone up and down is doing their job. If you really can't do it, then stay up there."

Upon hearing this, the fat man excitedly exclaimed, "It's okay, I'm not! You guys go down first, I'll slip out with you!"

It went down in a flash.

After Bai Jing and Hu Bayi checked again to make sure that Fatty was alright, they didn't try to persuade him anymore. Instead, they thought for a moment, unzipped their pants, took out the slightly dazed Bai Pi from their pockets, and handed him to Fatty, saying, "Fatty, wear Bai Pi. You're the one I'm most worried about."

Upon hearing Bai Jing's words, the fat man didn't stand on ceremony. He took the white leather bag and put it in his arms.

At this moment, Shirley Yang also noticed the white paper that Bai Jing handed to the fat man.

Then Shirley Yang couldn't help but ask, "Is this... a ferret?"

Upon hearing this, the fat man casually replied, "No, white skin is yellow skin."

Shirley Yang didn't quite understand what the fat man meant.

Seemingly noticing Shirley Yang's confusion, Hu Bayi couldn't help but laugh and say, "A weasel is a yellow weasel. You're American, so it's normal that you don't understand."

After hearing Hu Bayi's explanation, Shirley Yang finally understood, but he was puzzled as to whether there were white weasels.

Shirley Yang didn't think too much about it and instead looked at the others who were preparing.

After Bai Jing finished preparing, he looked around and instructed, "If nothing unexpected happens, there should be some remains, strange phenomena, or some special creatures down there. But please remember, do not panic or shout."

Everyone must remain calm and adaptable, because shouting could potentially invite even greater danger, understand?

After he finished speaking, everyone else naturally indicated that they understood and began to make preparations.

Then Bai Jing looked at Hu Bayi and said, "Old Hu, Ga Wa, you two will be the first to go down with me. Teacher Chen, Xiao Sa, you two will be the second to go down with Big Guy. Then Miss Yang, Senior Brother (Hao Aiguo), you two will be the third to go down with Xiao Zhang (the soldier). Fatty, Xiao Chu, you two will be the last to go down."

After making arrangements before going down, Bai Jing, Hu Bayi, and Ga Wa exchanged a glance, then pushed off the rope, and their bodies plummeted to the ground at an extremely fast speed, like a rapidly falling stone.

Hu Bayi and Ga Wa followed closely behind and descended.

However, neither of them had Bai Jing's skills, so they couldn't get down as quickly as Bai Jing.

Bai Jing estimated that the distance between the bottom and the top was not very high, only about ten meters.

After Bai Jing came down first, he quickly glanced inside. Hu Bayi and Ga Wa followed closely behind.

After scanning the surroundings with their flashlights, the three signaled to those above that it was safe to come down and urged everyone to descend quickly.

And so, the people above quickly descended to the bottom in the order that Bai Jing had arranged earlier.

In no time, everyone had come down.

Bai Jing looked at the fat man whose legs were going weak with amusement.

Then Bai Jing didn't forget the important matter and quickly reminded everyone to be careful and avoid disturbing the creatures here.

Ga Wa, who was the first to come down, had already finished his reconnaissance and immediately returned to report to Bai Jing and the others: "I just checked, and there is only one road that can be taken here."

After listening to Ga Wa's report, Bai Jing thought for a moment and began to arrange the formation.

Bai Jing and Hu Bayi walked side by side at the front, with Ga Wa behind them, walking in the middle between them.

Gawa is a sharpshooter in their unit, so he can fire immediately if there is any danger.

Next came the rest of the archaeological team, and finally the fat man and two soldiers brought up the rear.

Chapter 146 The Nine-Story Demon Tower

The group slowly moved forward along the underground passage, but after only a few steps, they discovered a corpse on the ground.

Bai Jing stepped forward to examine the body. It had been dead for quite some time, but because the area was located in the Kunlun Glacier, where the ice and snow never melted, the body was still so well preserved.

Bai Jing glanced at him and saw that the man was wearing a special adventure jacket and suit. Clearly, this man should be a member of Shirley Yang's father's expedition team.

However, judging from the fact that this person was not killed by the Dapu Ghost Worm, otherwise there should only be ashes on the ground now.

So, what happened to this person that led to their death?

Bai Jing was also a little confused for a moment.

Seeing this, the fat man stepped forward and asked, "Old Hu, is this your comrade-in-arms?"

Hu Bayi shook his head and said, "No, the clothes are different."

Bai Jing turned to Shirley Yang and said, "Miss Yang, come and take a look. Is this person from your father's expedition team?"

Shirley Yang came over upon hearing this and immediately confirmed it upon taking a look.

Shirley Yang nodded and said, "This person should be from my father's expedition team. Their equipment is similar. I've seen my father wear this kind of clothing before."

Shirley Yang then crouched down and began searching the body, but after a long search, she only found a pistol and nothing else.

Bai Jing saw it, but didn't say anything. Instead, he reminded everyone of the precautions.

As the group continued forward, they saw a large amount of mica ahead. However, Bai Jing glanced at it and saw that it was all low-quality mica with many impurities, none of which could reach the level of gemstones.

Suddenly, Bai Jing, who was moving forward, heard the sound of flowing water and immediately alerted everyone to be on guard.
