156: Heading to southern Yunnan to search for the tomb of King Xian

Having received Dean Zhu's approval, the director hurriedly got in touch with the Archaeological Team.

He also informed Ye Bai that the procedures for his leave of absence had been completed, and they could depart for the Tomb of King Xian at any time.

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai nodded, deciding to continue exploring the Tomb.

And to complete the system's mission.

Seeing Ye Bai agree, Professor Wang and the celebrities all breathed a secret sigh of relief.

Yang Mi and Reba were overjoyed; at least they could still be with Ye Bai.

They could still watch his figure at every moment.

“Since you no longer have any objections, let's leave now.”

As Professor Wang spoke, he glanced at the ancient artifacts laid out on the ground.

These things still needed to be taken out; they were all cultural relics.

So they made the follow-up arrangements, handing these items over to the authorities to handle.

The group quickly left the Tomb and set off according to the map's location.

Breaking the curse was beyond doubt; the earlier the better. The sooner the curse was lifted, the sooner they would be out of danger.

Who would want to live their life carrying a curse?

After the group left the Tomb.

In another side chamber, dozens of Tomb Robbers were still hiding.

However, most of them were injured.

Red marks had appeared on their shoulders.

The Tomb Robbers' eyes were filled with hatred, especially toward Ye Bai.

“Damn it, we're cursed now too. What should we do?”

One of the Tomb Robbers had a grim expression, and there was even a trace of panic deep in his eyes.

“We follow them, of course. Do you want to die? Damn it, if I'd known, I wouldn't have come.”

“It's all Ye Bai's fault. If he knew there was a curse, why didn't he say so earlier?”

Another Tomb Robber was incredibly enraged. If they had known there was a curse here, they wouldn't have entered for anything.

“Don't talk about that now. We came here for money. Now that the authorities have taken the relics, we have no chance. We might as well follow them to the Tomb of King Xian. Breaking the curse is one thing, and taking King Xian's burial goods while we're at it would be nice too.”

“King Xian thought he would attain eternal life or be reborn, so he must have prepared a lot of treasure as capital. I'm sure it won't be less than King Yelang's.”

Some Tomb Robbers were still unrepentant; they didn't just want to break the curse, they wanted to get their money too.

As soon as these words were spoken, the resentful Tomb Robbers were instantly invigorated. They felt it made a lot of sense.

However, some Tomb Robbers were still carrying injuries.

Their faces grew paler and paler until they finally collapsed to the ground, their breath fading away bit by bit.

The uninjured Tomb Robbers also realized something was wrong and panicked.

Those with strong physiques were doing okay, but those who were injured or in poor health were dying.

And their deaths were being accelerated.

Could this also be because of the curse?

This curse was truly terrifying. Why was it like this?

“We should leave immediately. If we delay any longer, we'll all die here.”

“Right, right, right! I don't want to die!!”

“I'm injured too, we'd better leave right away!!”

“Go, go, go!!”

So they hurriedly packed their things and followed behind the celebrities to leave the Tomb.

They prepared to follow them to the Tomb of King Xian.

King Yelang's Tomb was left to the authorities and the Archaeology Academy to handle.

As for the matter of the curse...

Boss Feng was dispatched; the Ninth Archive needed to step in and help resolve the curse involved.

At this moment, everyone returned to the outside of the forbidden zone after leaving the Tomb.

The helicopter from before was parked there again.

After everyone boarded the plane, they flew directly to the Southern Yunnan area.

It wasn't until evening that everyone got off the plane.

Upon landing, the Archaeology Academy had already pre-arranged all the equipment and personnel for entering the Tomb.

This time, the Production Team also sent the Security Team and team doctors to follow.

The Archaeology Academy, the Production Team, the Security Team, the celebrity teams, and even the Search and Rescue Team all headed toward the Tomb together.

Ye Bai led the group as they ran toward the location of the Zhelong Stockade.

The equipment Yang Mi, Wu Jing, and the others were carrying had been prepared in advance by the Production Team.

They had even changed into a new set of clothes.

Several more Cameramen were added to join the sole survivor.

Filming was conducted from all angles.

That unlucky Cameraman had no choice but to follow; otherwise, the curse on his body wouldn't be lifted.

Watching this massive group of people heading deep into the muddy road, the viewers were extremely excited.

【Holy crap! There must be at least a hundred people there, right? The Production Team really went all out.】

【It's not about going all out; it's that so many people are cursed, they have no choice but to come.】

【Who cares! I can finally see Brother Ye Bai. I thought I'd never see him again, I didn't expect it to continue!】

【This isn't forbidden zone exploration anymore, it's Tomb exploration, right?】

【What do you care? Anyway, it's an exploration show. No matter where it is, it's an exploration show. You guys don't understand.】

【Ahhh!! Brother Ye Bai is mighty! Brother Ye Bai is awesome!! Go go go!!!】

【Brother Ye Bai! I'm entrusting Da Mimi to you! You must not let her down!!】

【My Reba is yours now, you have to protect her well!!】

The viewers' bullet comments were constantly flashing by, and the popularity was steadily rising.

The number of people in the Live Stream Room rose to three hundred million at this time.

No other show had a popularity as high as this one.

When the director and the Executives saw this result, they were more than satisfied.

Inside the forest.

“According to the map, there is a stockade near the location of the Tomb of King Xian. Perhaps we can find someone from inside this stockade to lead us in.”

One of the Archaeological Team members said as he looked at the icons on the map.

“No, we can't let the people from the stockade know.”

Professor Wang shook his head and rejected the suggestion.

“Why? Aren't they local residents? Wouldn't that be better?”

The team member looked at Professor Wang in confusion; wouldn't that be the best outcome?

“Xiao He, there's something you don't know. The terrain here is very remote. The people in the surrounding mountains have all left. Do you know why this stockade hasn't left?”

Professor Wang chuckled as he shared some knowledge with his team member.

“Why?”

The man named Xiao He was very curious.

“That's because this stockade is made up of the descendants of Tomb guardians. Their people have been guarding this Tomb for generations, which is why they won't leave. We are going to the Tomb of King Xian. We're entering the Tomb they guard—do you think they would lead us in?”

“It'll be a miracle if they don't kill us.”

When Professor Wang reached this point, his tone was very grave.
