Old Meng nodded, a trace of fear still lingering on his face:
"Yeah, that foreign guy's eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone alive."
Wang Zhenqiu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"It seems our mission this time is not simple."
"This foreign guy is definitely not an ordinary person."
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the apprehension in each other's eyes.
We walked for more than an hour along the mountain path.
The group finally arrived at their destination.
A huge, bottomless crack appeared ahead.
It was as if the entire glacier had been split in two.
A biting wind howled out from the crack, carrying a chilling cold.
The archaeological team members set up camp nearby and began their work.
Lin Yang stood at the edge of the crack, his brows furrowed, seemingly deep in thought.
"Old Hu, Fatty, you two come down with me to scout ahead," Lin Yang said.
Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang nodded without hesitation, their faces showing no fear whatsoever.
Lin Yang then turned to Shirley Yang and instructed her:
"You wait here for Professor Chen and the others, then come down together."
"Be careful and proceed with caution."
Shirley Yang nodded: "Okay."
"Hehe, Yang-ge, can I come down with you guys?"
Wang Zhenqiu blinked, a smile playing on his lips, looking like a curious child.
Lin Yang glanced at him and said indifferently, "Whatever."
After saying that, Lin Yang jumped into the crevice, followed closely by Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang.
Wang Zhenqiu gave Lao Meng a look, and then leaped into the crevice.
Professor Chen, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but sigh:
"Shirley, these people are really something else."
Shirley Yang smiled gently:
"They're just a bit skilled."
Professor Chen smiled meaningfully and said nothing more.
At this moment, Lin Yang was falling rapidly, with the wind whistling past.
He relied on his powerful physical strength.
It withstood the combined pressure of the gale and gravity.
Just as it was about to touch the ground.
Lin Yang's body seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force.
It landed lightly on the ground.
Meanwhile, everyone else relied on their agility...
He kept jumping near the abyss to slow his descent.
However, before everyone landed...
Lin Yang had already quickly surveyed the surrounding environment.
Finally, his gaze settled on a fully armed corpse.
The body lay quietly on the ground, clearly having been dead for some time.
Lin Yang stepped forward, squatted down, and carefully examined the area.
"This should be a member of Shirley Young's father's expedition team."
Lin Yang thought to himself.
Judging from the corpse's clothing and the weapons it was carrying.
This is clearly a well-trained explorer.
There were no obvious injuries on his body.
They must have been trapped and died here.
At this moment, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang also landed one after another.
Both of them looked somewhat disheveled.
But his eyes gleamed with excitement.
Wang Zhenqiu landed next to Lin Yang with a grin: "Brother Yang, this is so exciting!"
Lin Yang didn't bother to respond to Wang Zhenqiu's words.
"Boss, look at this corpse, judging from its equipment..."
"They must be dressed as mercenaries."
Hu Bayi squatted down beside the corpse, examining it as he spoke to Lin Yang.
Lin Yang glanced at it and nodded:
"Hmm, it looks like we've found the right place."
"This should be the destination of the group of archaeologists that Shirley mentioned."
Fatty Wang curiously leaned closer: "Boss, doesn't that mean there's some treasure here?"
"I don't know if it's a treasure or not, but there are definitely a lot of dangers."
As Lin Yang spoke, he retrieved some compressed food and weapon magazines from the corpse and handed them to Fatty Wang:
"Take these with you for now, just in case."
Fatty Wang took the items and said with a cheerful smile, "Thank you, boss!"
Lin Yang then turned to Hu Bayi:
"Old Hu, you come with me to scout ahead."
"Fatty, you stay here and provide backup for them. Be quick-witted."
Fatty Wang patted his chest and said, "Boss, don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the task!"
Just then, Wang Zhenqiu asked curiously:
"Brother Yang, why do they all call you boss?"
Lin Yang gave Wang Zhenqiu a deep look:
"That's because their souls have all come to me."
With that, Lin Yang led Hu Bayi forward.
Wang Zhenqiu was startled by Lin Yang's words and shivered.
He then chuckled and said:
"Brother Yang, don't scare me, I'm easily frightened."
Lin Yang, Hu Bayi, and Wang Zhenqiu walked for a while and found a narrow cave entrance.
The three of them carefully passed through the cave entrance.
Suddenly, the view opened up, and we found ourselves beside an underground river.
"Boss, the temperature of this underground river is very high."
Hu Bayi reached out to test the water temperature and frowned as he spoke.
Lin Yang also sensed the intense heat emanating from the dark river.
He looked around and said in a deep voice:
"This is not a good thing; we need to be careful."
Wang Zhenqiu caught up and, upon hearing their conversation, happily said:
"Isn't a high temperature a good thing?"
"This will make it easier for us to cross the river."
Lin Yang glanced at Wang Zhenqiu but didn't say anything.
Hu Bayi gave Wang Zhenqiu a deep look.
He smiled meaningfully:
"You absolutely love this place."
"But you have to know that good things often come with risks."
"Who knows what good things might like you down there?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenqiu...
The hand that had just reached the water's edge was abruptly pulled back as if burned.
He forced an awkward smile:
"Ha, probably not..."
Lin Yang looked at him and couldn't help but find it amusing, so he teased him:
"Don't you really like massages?"
"Why don't you try making one for this big guy in the water too?"
