296: All-around expert, is there anything you can't do?

Although Meng Ziyi's meridians were blocked, it wasn't very serious. It took Ye Bai over an hour to finally clear the blood stasis in Meng Ziyi's body and expel many impurities.

After completing this, Ye Bai performed the life-saving technique of the Nine Profound Divine Needles for Meng Ziyi once more to help her regain her vitality. Then, he administered the needles to Yang Mi. Of course, he didn't waste any time; while Yang Mi was asleep, he fused the three techniques of 'Gathering Yang,' 'Supplementing Deficiency,' and 'Rejuvenation' from the Nine Profound Divine Needles into a unique acupuncture method.

After he taught this acupuncture method to Yang Mi, she was immediately overjoyed.

“Alright, this set of acupuncture techniques is called 'Gathering Yang Rejuvenation.' Practicing it once a day will ensure your body remains immune to all diseases,” Ye Bai said.

Yang Mi said happily, “Thank you so much, Big Brother Ye.”

Ye Bai said, “Why be so polite with me? By the way, there are many toxins floating in the air here. You and Ziyi should stay a bit further away to avoid being poisoned.”

Yang Mi nodded obediently.

Meng Ziyi asked in confusion, “Big Brother Ye, why can't I smell the poison in the air?”

“The air in this place decayed long ago, so naturally, it can't be smelled,” Ye Bai explained.

Hearing this, Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi both showed expressions of sudden realization.

Ye Bai took out a pack of tissues and handed them to Yang Mi, saying, “Wipe your sweat first!”

Yang Mi hurriedly wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead.

Ye Bai said, “Alright, let's continue moving forward. Remember, do not touch the walls to avoid getting an electric shock.”

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi nodded repeatedly.

Then, Ye Bai carried Meng Ziyi on his back and continued walking toward the village. Yang Mi followed behind, staying alert to her surroundings while observing the environment.

After walking for about half an hour, Yang Mi suddenly pointed to a thatched hut not far away and said, “Big Brother Ye, there seems to be a light there.”

Ye Bai looked in the direction she was pointing.

“Eh, there really is a light. Could there be some treasure there?” Yang Mi said with an expectant look.

Ye Bai smiled and said, “Hehe, it's probably just a house where the roof leaks rain or water, causing the lamp to flicker. Let's go quickly and knock on the door to see if anyone is inside. If no one is there, we'll head straight to the main objective and look for that Ancient Tomb. If we encounter any danger, we can escape in time.”

Yang Mi nodded and moved closer toward the thatched hut.

As they got closer, Ye Bai discovered that the thatched hut was actually a wooden structure covered in green moss, appearing as though it had endured a long time. Furthermore, many tiles on the roof were damaged, revealing patches of mottled marks.

Ye Bai reached out to touch a mottled tile, and a sour, rotten stench immediately wafted over.

The smell was extremely unpleasant, hard to mask even with a mask.

“Why is it so damp here?” Yang Mi said, covering her nose.

Ye Bai frowned and said, “I don't know, I suspect there's indeed something wrong with this place. Let's go, don't worry about it too much. Finding the Ancient Tomb is the priority.”

Yang Mi nodded.

The two continued walking forward.

The further they went, the lower the temperature became. The cold wind howled, making the branches rustle in a way that was hair-raising.

Suddenly, Yang Mi came to a dead stop.

“What's wrong?” Ye Bai asked in surprise.

“So cold!” Yang Mi was so frozen that her lips had turned blue.

“Let's quickly find a place to rest!” Yang Mi said, trembling.

“Alright!” Ye Bai nodded.

Ye Bai supported Yang Mi, preparing to find a hidden spot to rest for a while.

“Rumble...” Just then, the originally dark sky suddenly flashed with dazzling lightning, followed by bean-sized raindrops falling down.

Yang Mi looked at the sky in surprise and said, “It's actually thundering today!”

Ye Bai looked up at the celestial anomaly and muttered, “Not only that, a rainstorm is coming.”

“A rainstorm?”

“Yeah. A rainstorm is bad for us because we're carrying a lot of things. Once we're soaked, it can trigger illnesses. For example, getting caught in the rain can lead to colds, runny noses, and so on.”

“Ah? Then what should we do?”

“It's fine. Since things have reached this point, we can't worry about that much. The most important thing now is to avoid the heavy rain.”

Ye Bai helped Yang Mi hide behind a nearby pile of rocks, then took off his shoes and socks and wiped his feet dry with his clothes. He also used his sleeves to wipe his pant legs and knees so he wouldn't have to worry about rainwater dripping onto his body.

Seeing this, Yang Mi did the same.

Shortly after, the rain poured down and the gale howled.

The rock pile where Ye Bai and Yang Mi were hiding began to shake violently. This rock pile was old, and with the continuous rainstorm over the past few days, it was already teetering.

Ye Bai stood at the edge of the rock pile and glanced down; what he saw scared him out of his wits. Below was a cliff several dozen feet deep, impossible to climb.

If they fell, it would be certain death!

At this moment, the audience in the Live Stream Room had long been gripped by this tense and exciting plot, and bullet comments drifted down like snowflakes.

“Oh my god! This is too thrilling! Boss Ye Bai and the others won't be in danger, will they?”

“It’s not easy for Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi, these two Female Celebrities, following Boss Ye Bai through so many terrifying things.”

“What kind of hellhole is that village? It feels like danger is everywhere.”

“Boss Ye Bai's Nine Profound Divine Needles are so powerful! I hope they can find the Ancient Tomb soon.”

The camera switched to the guest seats in the Live Stream Room, where several invited Archaeologists and feng shui masters were also nervously watching the development of the situation.

“From the current situation, the Feng Shui of this village is extremely eerie,” a feng shui master said. “The surrounding environment is filled with Yin Qi, likely influenced by the Ancient Tomb.”

Another Archaeologist followed up: “Ye Bai and the others are in a very dangerous situation, and this rainstorm makes things even worse. I wonder if they can find a safe place to hide.”

The host asked, “Then what do the experts think they will do next?”

The feng shui master pondered for a moment and said, “If I were Ye Bai, I would use Feng Shui knowledge to find a relatively safe place. In this kind of harsh weather, acting rashly might be even more dangerous.”

Hearing the experts' analysis, the viewers in the Live Stream Room became even more worried for Ye Bai and the others.

“I hope Boss Ye Bai and the others will be safe!”

“I really want to know if they can find the Ancient Tomb and uncover the secrets of this mysterious place.”

“This live stream is simply too exciting! It's better than watching a movie.”

The scene returned to the rock pile where Ye Bai and Yang Mi were. Ye Bai held Yang Mi tightly, looking at the rainstorm outside with a solemn expression.

“Big Brother Ye, what do we do now?” Yang Mi asked with a trembling voice, her eyes filled with fear.

Ye Bai said calmly, “Don't panic. Let's wait here until the rain lets up a bit. Although this rock pile isn't very stable, it's our only shelter for now.”
