341: Chapter 341 The Bizarre Variety Show

Besides Lin Xiao, the other viewers were also puzzled by this.

The Archaeology Expert had originally intended to keep them in suspense.

However, seeing the increasing number of questions in the comments, they offered an explanation.

"Look, the cave in front of us is the only way to enter the Ancient Tomb of the Lu King."

The Archaeology Expert pointed into the distance.

The camera slowly panned over to follow.

By now, the sky was completely dark, but fortunately, the weather was good, and the moonlight overhead was bright.

Under the moonlight, the river water disappeared in front of a pitch-black stone wall.

Where was the cave?

The audience was even more confused.

"Everyone, please be patient; the cave will appear soon."

The voice of the Archaeology Expert rang out.

Perhaps the timing was just right, but a gust of wind blew by, and the water surface began to ripple.

At the spot where the river water disappeared, one could actually see the faint outline of a pitch-black cave entrance.

The Archaeology Expert then calmly explained, "The water level here drops every few days. Once the water level falls to a certain height, the cave entrance will appear."

"That's quite magical."

Listening to the Archaeology Expert's explanation, Lin Xiao couldn't help but exclaim.

It seemed that the Production Crew had really done their homework this time, having even researched this natural phenomenon.

Lin Xiao suddenly felt a bit of regret.

Had he known this show would be so interesting, he would have participated with Lin Ran.

Wait a minute.

Where did the Archaeology Expert say they were going just now?

The Ancient Tomb of the Lu King?

Why does this Lu King sound a bit familiar...

As Lin Xiao pondered, he suddenly saw someone gifting in the Live Stream Channel.

It turned out the organizers, fearing that everyone would be bored during the wait, had launched a celebrity guest support event.

Everyone could support their favorite guests by sending gifts.

Guests with high popularity would earn points and receive rewards in subsequent activities.

Lin Xiao decisively started gifting for Lin Ran.

However, he soon discovered that Fifth Sister's fan base was still quite massive.

Even without his gifts, the fans could still boost Fifth Sister's popularity to first place.

Soon, Lin Xiao saw a familiar name on the Live Stream Channel's gift leaderboard.

"Zhang's Little Fu."

Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

There were too many people gifting him before, so he hadn't noticed Zhang Xiaofu's ID, which was just as silly-looking as Zhang Xiaofu himself.

Zhang Xiaofu was gifting everything to Song Xi, putting Song Xi's ranking just behind Lin Ran, and even occasionally surpassing her slightly, neck and neck.

Lin Xiao suddenly wanted to tease Zhang Xiaofu.

"Xiao Fu, do you want me to turn up the heat on you?"

He sent a message to Zhang Xiaofu along with a screenshot of the Live Stream Channel.

Zhang Xiaofu's message came back quickly.

It was a voice message.

"Brother Lin! You really are my own brother, please don't mess with me at a time like this! My pocket money was almost all spent on gifting you before; I really can't compete with you!"

It was clear that Zhang Xiaofu was very anxious.

Lin Xiao was just joking; he didn't actually intend to compete with Zhang Xiaofu.

At this moment, another message from Zhang Xiaofu arrived.

"Brother Lin, just let her be second; I won't fight Sister Ran for first place!"

After Zhang Xiaofu finished speaking, Lin Xiao watched the popularity ranking in the Live Stream Channel, and the rate of Song Xi's gift growth gradually slowed down.

He didn't know if Zhang Xiaofu had run out of money or if he was afraid that he would actually make a move.

Lin Xiao felt like laughing.

Did he seem like such an unreasonable person?

However, he thought that such rankings were likely controlled by the Production Crew behind the scenes, so it was best to just let it be.

While eating snacks, Lin Xiao, like the other viewers, patiently waited for midnight to arrive.

The guests had already pitched their tents.

Everyone sat around the campfire, eating and chatting.

Actually, this process was quite boring, but these guests had very high traffic.

Even if they just sat there doing nothing, the fans were very satisfied.

The Production Crew organized some small activities to keep the atmosphere lively, making time pass quite quickly.

As time ticked by, the live stream footage became a bit darker.

The originally cloudless sky gradually became overcast.

Yun Duo obscured most of the moonlight.

The Production Crew added some more light sources so that the live stream footage wouldn't be too dark.

At this moment, the sound of a bell came from the distance.

The camera panned over to see a small boat drifting on the river.

A dim, yellow lantern hung on the fishing boat, swaying with the boat, looking like a ghost coming from afar.

The silent comments section started scrolling again.

"Damn, even though I know this is all for show, I still feel a bit creeped out."

"Are they going to enter the cave in this small boat?"

"I have a feeling it might not fit everyone."

"The atmosphere of this show is absolutely incredible!"

"..."

Like the other viewers, Lin Xiao also felt a sense of eeriness.

Soon, the small boat stopped at the bank.

As the camera zoomed in, Lin Xiao clearly saw the situation on the boat.

There was only The Boatman on the boat.

The Boatman slowly walked down.

Under the lights of the Film Crew, everyone finally saw his face clearly.

The Boatman's face was very pale, a whiteness that exceeded normal skin tone.

Logically speaking, people who often fish on the water would have skin tanned darker by the sun.

But this Boatman was clearly different.

The more Lin Xiao looked, the more familiar he felt.

"Lu King, The Boatman... could it be..."

Just at this moment, there was another noise from the boat.

A dog with black fur all over its body jumped off the boat.

It wagged its tail at the crowd while barking "Woof woof."

Lin Xiao slapped his thigh.

He finally understood why it looked familiar.

Isn't this the plot of the Seven Star Lu King Palace?
