163: A crisis with ups and downs
Listening to his subordinate's report, Boss Li put down his teacup and nodded slightly.
"Lead this trail toward the Grave-robbers. Don't let them cause me trouble for no reason."
"Also, send people to the tomb in Southern Yunnan immediately. They don't need to do anything, just follow Ye Bai. If they encounter anyone with ill intentions, kill them directly."
Boss Li said with a calm smile.
"Understood."
The man in black turned and left after speaking.
Boss Li then shifted his gaze toward Ye Bai. Seeing that Ye Bai was still staring at the Saber-toothed Salmon before him, he knew the kid was mentally prepared.
Inside the tomb.
Ye Bai stood at the front of the rubber boat, his grip tightening on the black gold ancient blade, his gaze turning sharp.
"Charge!"
At Ye Bai's command, the two team members beside him once again put all their strength into rowing.
Following that, Ye Bai's blade could be seen dancing as he cut down the fish that flew toward them, the clear water dyed red with blood.
Many Saber-toothed Salmon even began to impatiently devour their own kind once they saw them die.
But it was precisely this opportunity that gave Ye Bai and the others a moment to breathe.
The members of the Search and Rescue Team were using every ounce of strength they had; their speed was much faster than before.
The attacks from these Saber-toothed Salmon were also constantly accelerating.
This scene made the audience watching them extremely nervous; they were very worried now.
Ye Bai's strikes were incredibly fast, while Wu Jing stood by his side, ready at all times.
In case Ye Bai made a mistake and a fish landed on the boat, he could step in immediately and kill it at once.
If someone were bitten by a Saber-toothed Salmon, it would be truly difficult to handle.
Zhang Dada, Yang Mi, and the others gripped the rubber boat tightly, struggling to steady themselves.
"Not good! The speed seems to be increasing, everyone hold on tight!"
"Those in the back, there are rapids ahead! Everyone stay steady and hold on!"
The team member rowing suddenly cried out, not forgetting to warn the members behind him.
Bang!
Before everyone could react, they felt the boat become unstable.
It also slammed into the stone wall on the side, letting out a dull thud.
Everyone felt like their internal organs had shifted a few times.
Damn it!
Their organs were about to be knocked out.
The next second.
Bang!
Crash, crash, crash!!!
Zhang Dada, Yang Mi, and the others swayed back and forth on the boat, their bodies colliding repeatedly. They crashed into each other, and their shoulders were aching terribly.
"Ah!"
"Holy crap!"
"I'm going to throw up!!"
"Ah!!!"
Huang Zitao and Cai Xukun felt extremely uncomfortable, managing to squeeze out a few words with difficulty.
Wu Jing almost hit the wall several times and even nearly fell off the boat.
Then he looked at Ye Bai.
Damn, he cursed inwardly. How is this guy even human?
Did he put Super Glue on his soles? How is he standing so steadily?
He barely even swayed a few times?
Bang!!
"Ouch!"
"Whoa!"
"Hold on tight!!"
Professor Wang grabbed Yang Chaoyue just as she was about to fall off, speaking up urgently.
The current's speed was still increasing, causing several oars to be lost from the hands of the Search and Rescue Team members.
The viewers in the Live Stream Room were stunned when they saw this scene.
Seeing the situation, they became nervous again. How is anyone supposed to survive this?
Why is it one crisis after another?
First it was the Corpse Beetles, then the Saber-toothed Salmon, and now these rapids?
What is this? An adventure?
[Crap, crap, crap!! What is this King Xian trying to do? Why is he playing such a hard game?]
[He's even more impressive than King Yelang. To make the entrance of a tomb like this, he's truly something else!!]
[Where is this going to take them? It won't lead to a waterfall or something later, will it? If that happens, things will get serious.]
[Crap, crap, crap!! My bro Ye Bai is truly amazing.]
[Standing there without even moving an inch, truly incredible!]
[To the person above! You're the incredible one! The camera is shaking so much it's a blur, and you can still see that clearly? Truly impressive!!]
The audience all showed expressions of shock as they saw the celebrities and the Archaeological Team in this predicament.
On one hand, they were worried about their safety; on the other, they were astounded by Ye Bai's abilities.
How should one put it?
It could be described as a conflict of emotions.
They didn't know whether to be nervous or to be shocked by Ye Bai's prowess.
Inside the tomb.
Ten minutes later.
The speed of the rubber boat gradually slowed down.
However, Yang Mi, Bai Lu, and Meng Ziyi could no longer control themselves; they leaned over the edge of the boat and vomited profusely.
The feeling in their stomachs was truly unbearable.
They originally thought they could hold it in, but it turned out to be too difficult.
It wasn't just them.
Even Zhang Dada, Cai Xukun, and Hua Chenyu were feeling just as miserable.
Some members of the Archaeological Team couldn't take it either.
Captain Zhao of the Search and Rescue Team was currently concerned about the people behind him.
"Are you all safe? How are you doing?"
Captain Zhao was constantly keeping an eye on the soldiers he brought.
"We're fine."
"I'm fine too."
"Same for us."
Captain Zhao finally felt relieved hearing that they were all okay.
But before he could be at ease for long, bad news came from behind.
"Captain! Those fish are back!"
The soldier at the very back suddenly spoke in panic, his voice trembling.
"Go!"
"Fast, fast, fast!!"
Captain Zhao had no time to think and shouted out commands.
He felt like cursing someone's mother right now.
Damn it! What kind of situation is this? Is it necessary to be so relentless?
This guy is watching them more strictly than one watches a thief.
Some of the team members had lost their oars, so now they could only use their hands to row together.
Professor Wang was still holding the lighting equipment to shine it straight ahead, and he saw a shallow beach appear, though it was still some distance away.
"Quick, we can get ashore."
Professor Wang's words were like heavenly music, providing comfort to the panicked team members.
It was as if a ship in the vast ocean had found salvation.
Now, they were rowing with even more vigor.
After all, the way out was right before their eyes.
"Hurry up!"
"Help out!!"
Wu Jing knew that since they were leading the way, the speed in front had to be fast, so he hurriedly used his hands to help row.
This would help accelerate their speed.
The team member at the very back kept a constant eye on the situation in the water.
When he saw the white light getting closer and closer, panic was visible on his face.
"Quick! Faster!"
The team member shouted anxiously.
"Are you talking out of your ass? We're already moving at top speed, and we don't even have oars now. We can only give it our all."
The team members beside him were also accelerating forward.
Bang!
Just then—
The rubber boats collided with each other one by one.
"Ouch!"
The team members' bodies jerked forward from the impact.
"What happened?"
"Go!"
"Get off the boat quickly, we've reached the shore."
