115: Instead of saving someone, he got kicked.

One of the professors couldn't help but speculate. Since their Search and Rescue Team and Archaeological Team hadn't arrived yet, there was only one possibility: they were being held up.

And the only thing likely to hold them up was encountering Tomb Robbers.

"That is a possibility. I know Old Wang's personality; he's happier seeing a Tomb than a bee seeing honey. He would have rushed there without stopping. If he's delayed now, he likely ran into Tomb Robbers."

Professor Han fell silent for a moment before speaking with absolute certainty.

"Then we can only rely on Ye Bai now. I hope he can hold on for a while."

Xiao Song looked at Ye Bai and the others with deep concern, especially Yang Mi, as he was quite a fan of the star.

"But... isn't this too difficult? People from the Mountain Overseeing Protector, the Mojin Captains, and the Fa Qiu Lineage all died here. These people were the elite of the Tomb-robbing world. If they all died, can Ye Bai handle this alone? His only helper is Wu Jing, but can Wu Jing even compare to those Tomb Robbers?"

Another professor spoke up, still filled with unease.

Hearing this, everyone looked toward the professor who had spoken... and he wasn't wrong.

If even those experts weren't a match, would it really work for Ye Bai?

The members of the Production Team were equally worried.

When the director and the executives saw Ye Bai being surrounded by vines, they were terrified and kept their eyes glued to him.

The director kept trying to call the Search and Rescue Team, hoping they would hurry, but the result was always the same... he couldn't get through!

The signal in there wasn't good, and besides, they probably didn't have time to answer.

"We can only hope Ye Bai holds on a bit longer, at least until the rescue team arrives."

Seeing the director breaking out in a cold sweat from anxiety, one of the executives quickly spoke up to comfort him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the executives stared at the large screen as if they had lost their souls.

Meanwhile, the Tomb Robbers...

Boss Li and his other companions were all waiting there to watch Ye Bai.

They wanted to see just how great Ye Bai's abilities truly were.

When Boss Li saw the scene, his eyes widened, filled with both worry and excitement.

He really wanted to see whether the qilin blood or this ghost avoider would come out on top.

He did value Ye Bai and wanted to put his skills to use, but that was mostly out of respect for 'that person.' If Ye Bai's skills were inferior or if he died right here, then it simply meant his abilities weren't up to par.

While it would be a pity, it wouldn't cause any real impact.

With that thought, Boss Li watched the Live Stream Room even more intently.

Inside the Tomb.

Ye Bai felt the threat from the ghost avoider. He glanced out of the corner of his eye at Wu Jing, Yang Mi, and the others standing nearby; no vines had appeared around them.

Instead, all these vines were staring at him, as if they were deliberately targeting him.

Ye Bai's expression darkened, and a storm of intensity surged in his calm eyes.

'Come on then. Since you want to deal with me first, let's see who finishes off whom.'

Ye Bai watched as the vines organized themselves into a vast, infinite net. The leaves on these vines also began to grow in dense, thick clusters.

These leaves were like steel needles, releasing a faint, cold glint as they reflected the light.

"Ye Bai!"

Yang Mi, Reba, and the others were shocked when they saw the massive net pouncing toward Ye Bai.

Yang Mi cried out his name subconsciously.

Seeing this, Ye Bai suddenly leaped into the air, meeting the attack head-on with his black gold ancient blade.

The next second!

Under everyone's worried gazes, they saw Ye Bai tear the net to shreds. The moment the net was ripped apart by the blade, blood immediately gushed out.

But just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, another net emerged from behind, its leaves poised like steel pitchforks as it lunged toward Ye Bai's back.

"Ye Bai, behind you!"

Seeing another vine net behind him, Reba shouted out in a panic.

The moment Ye Bai's feet touched the ground, he spun around to face the vines behind him and swung his blade once more.

"Watch out!"

Seeing another one coming from the side, Wu Jing rushed over with his Dagger to help Ye Bai.

To his surprise, as soon as Wu Jing's Dagger made contact with the vine, there was a sharp 'ding.'

The Dagger seemed to transmit a force that made the webbing of his thumb go numb. His eyes were wide with shock.

What was going on?

Why did his Dagger do no damage to this vine?

On the contrary, why was the vine's impact on him so great?

His entire arm was numb now.

While Wu Jing was still in shock, the vine continued to close in on him.

It's over!

Despair filled Wu Jing's heart.

He had wanted to save Ye Bai, but not only did he fail, he had managed to get himself caught too. This was the end.

Just as Wu Jing was waiting for death in despair, he suddenly felt a powerful force push him away.

Except, this 'push' was a bit painful.

By the time he regained his senses, he saw Ye Bai retracting his foot.

Wu Jing rolled a few times on the ground, and when he finally stopped, he was right at the feet of Yang Mi and Reba.

"Brother Jing, are you okay?"

Seeing Wu Jing collapsed on the ground, Yang Mi hurried to help him up, looking at him with concern.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!"

Wu Jing felt he had completely lost face. He had tried to help but failed, and in the end, he had to be kicked out of the way by Ye Bai.

It was so awkward and embarrassing, especially since he had lost face in front of everyone and the millions of people in the Live Stream Room.

Fortunately, their attention wasn't on him, but on Ye Bai.

After kicking Wu Jing away, Ye Bai charged directly at that vine.

He sliced through the vine with ease; it was incredibly smooth.

"What kind of blade is Ye Bai using?"

Wu Jing looked at the Dagger in his hand in astonishment. This was a top-tier combat knife, yet his Dagger couldn't even scratch the vine, while Ye Bai could cut through it so easily.

Why was his blade so miraculous?

Then what did that make his own knife?

It wasn't just Wu Jing who was shocked; the netizens were equally horrified.

[Holy crap! Not only is Young Brother Ye Bai skilled, but his blade is even better than Brother Jing's! I saw it just now; Brother Jing tried to cut the vine, but it had no effect at all!]

[What kind of blade is that? It's really something else! It looks pitch black, but its power is truly insane!]

[Luckily Young Brother Ye Bai is skilled and has this divine weapon, otherwise he'd be dead by now!]

[Seeing Young Brother Ye Bai holding that blade is so cool, I really love him! I must have been blind before; he's so loyal, skilled, and knowledgeable, yet I used to think he was just a poser. How blind was I? How could I have preferred Cai Xukun over Ye Bai? Damn it! I'm so full of regret!!]

[Exactly!! I'm refunding my tickets to Huahua's concert right now. Damn, those thousands of yuan could be spent on anything else. Why would I go watch him sing? I'd rather use that money to support Ye Bai; at least I'd be well-fed and happy!!]
