69: The Tomb of the King of Yelang! The tomb of a legendary ancient kingdom that disappeared a thousand years ago!

The three men saw the Lion-Tiger Hybrid suddenly approach them and couldn't help but scream in terror, but the one called Boss was still trying to use his gun to advance against the Lion-Tiger Hybrid.

Bang!

The bullet hit the Lion-Tiger Hybrid right in the eye.

"Roar..."

The Lion-Tiger Hybrid roared in pain as blood streamed down. Its remaining intact eye turned crimson, looking at the three men as if they were already dead.

"Run!"

Locking eyes with the Lion-Tiger Hybrid, the Boss roared, his whole body trembling. His face was deathly pale as he shouted with a quivering voice.

He had already panicked and instinctively turned to run.

The Lion-Tiger Hybrid leaped violently, pouncing toward him.

"Hide!"

Seeing that the Lion-Tiger Hybrid wasn't focused on them, Wu Jing pulled Yang Mi and Ye Bai toward the nearby bushes to crouch down.

Just after crouching, he suddenly realized something and turned to look at Ye Bai.

"Ye Bai, you knew a Lion-Tiger Hybrid was coming all along, didn't you?"

Wu Jing's words weren't a question, but a statement of fact.

"Mm."

Ye Bai simply gave an indifferent nod and said no more.

By now, the Lion-Tiger Hybrid had pounced on the second man, pinning him to the ground and tearing at him with its wide-open maw.

The second man lay on the ground, his eyes fixed deathly on his two companions.

"Save me..." The second man reached out a hand for help... but those two lackeys were currently slumped on the ground because they had tried to run too fast, and a yellow, foul-smelling liquid was leaking from their crotches.

The two of them were completely paralyzed with fear.

After being gnawed by the Lion-Tiger Hybrid, only bone remained of the second man's back. He had already lost his breath, lying on the ground with his eyes still fixed on his brothers, the terror in his gaze frozen forever.

The Lion-Tiger Hybrid then abandoned the second man beneath its claws and pounced toward the two guys opposite it.

The two were scared witless, watching helplessly as the bloody, foul-smelling mouth bit down toward them.

Hiding in the shadows, Yang Mi, Reba, and Bai Lu saw the Lion-Tiger Hybrid tear the three men apart. The scent of blood filled the air instantly. They truly couldn't bear to watch and gagged from time to time.

Cai Xukun crouched on the ground with his legs shaking. He even covered his mouth and lowered his head, not daring to even look at the Lion-Tiger Hybrid's silhouette.

As if seeking vengeance, the Lion-Tiger Hybrid wasn't satisfied and bit off one of the men's heads, casually tossing it right in front of Yang Mi and Reba.

"Ugh..."

Seeing a head suddenly appear before her eyes, Reba was so scared she almost screamed, but Yang Mi quickly covered her mouth.

"Don't make a sound!"

Yang Mi was actually terrified herself, but they couldn't make a sound right now, or they would attract the Lion-Tiger Hybrid's attention.

Tears of fear streamed down Reba's face as she trembled all over. She placed her hand over Yang Mi's and even closed her eyes, not daring to look at the head rolled in front of her.

With one eye bleeding and the other still scanning around, the Lion-Tiger Hybrid slowly approached the direction where Wu Jing and the others were hiding.

With every step it took, the hearts of Yang Mi and Wu Jing's group sank.

The footsteps seemed to tread directly on their hearts. Everyone was frozen stiff, not daring to even breathe. Wu Jing and the others kept their eyes wide open, staring fixedly at the Lion-Tiger Hybrid's steps.

Thump-thump!!

Thump-thump-thump!!!

Their heartbeats exploded in their ears as everyone stared tensely at the Lion-Tiger Hybrid.

The cameraman hid behind Wu Jing. They all covered their noses and mouths, not daring to breathe loudly, let alone look directly at the situation before them.

From the perspective of the fans in the Live Stream Room, they could see the Lion-Tiger Hybrid approaching them.

[Holy crap!! Even though I'm not there, I'm so nervous! Is this tiger going to see Da Mimi and the others?]

[How the hell should I know? All I can do now is pray they'll be okay. This is scaring me to death!]

[What should we do? Quickly think of something, what can be done!!]

[Ahhh!! I can feel such a powerful sense of oppression. Why hasn't the rescue team arrived yet? Hurry up!! Da Mimi and the others will be in danger in a moment.]

[Oh my god!! I don't dare to watch anymore, this is truly too terrifying!!]

Seeing this situation, the fans were so scared they didn't dare to breathe, as if they were the ones being chased and bitten by the Lion-Tiger Hybrid... Meanwhile, at the production team—

The director and high-level executives were also so scared they didn't dare to breathe after seeing this.

They were all tensely staring at the Lion-Tiger Hybrid's footsteps, worried that Wu Jing, Reba, and the others hiding in the grass would be discovered.

At this moment, the entire conference room was eerily silent!

Inside the Forbidden Ground.

Wu Jing, Yang Mi, Cai Xukun, and the others covered their mouths and noses, watching the Lion-Tiger Hybrid with extreme tension, their bodies completely stiff.

Just as the Lion-Tiger Hybrid was about to approach them.

One of the men from Northern Myanmar wasn't completely dead yet. Seeing that the Lion-Tiger Hybrid hadn't noticed him, he struggled to crawl toward the boat.

A faint sound suddenly occurred. The Lion-Tiger Hybrid's footsteps, which were nearing Wu Jing's group, stopped. It whipped its head around and noticed there was still a survivor, suddenly running toward that man from Northern Myanmar.

Snap!

The Northern Myanmar man's arm was bitten clean off.

"Ah..."

Following that, he only felt his vision go dark as a foul stench hit him, as if something was dragging him along while running.

Watching the Lion-Tiger Hybrid move away, Wu Jing and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, in the next moment, the Lion-Tiger Hybrid made a sudden pouncing motion. It was less than a meter away from Wu Jing and Yang Mi, nearly tearing the two of them in half with a single swipe.

"Watch out!"

"Sister Mi!"

Reba's tears could no longer be controlled; she was terrified.

The next moment.

Ye Bai suddenly rushed out. With a running start, he kicked both legs against the massive body of the Lion-Tiger Hybrid. The beast was kicked so hard it almost couldn't get up. When it saw it was Ye Bai, it roared at him twice in anger, originally thinking Ye Bai would run.

But it was stunned. It only heard a sudden, thunderous roar erupt from Ye Bai's mouth.

Then, the black gold ancient blade carried a cold flash of light as it stabbed toward the Lion-Tiger Hybrid's heart.

The Lion-Tiger Hybrid was scared out of its wits. With a whimper, it hastily retreated, but it was still too late; the black gold ancient blade plunged into its rump.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The Lion-Tiger Hybrid no longer had its arrogant appearance from before; it tucked its tail and fled.

Ye Bai frowned slightly:

"Chase it!"

He strode off in pursuit of the Lion-Tiger Hybrid. Yang Mi and Reba followed without hesitation. The others were stunned by this scene, but no longer caring to study the Royal City, they followed Ye Bai and chased after it.

Soon, a massive burial mound appeared before their eyes.

The burial mound resembled a palace.

Two giant stone statues of Lion-Tiger Hybrids stood on either side of the palace. Beside the statues, a bloody black gold ancient blade lay among the weeds.

The palace was entwined with countless vines, looking extremely ancient and sinister.

Looking through the palace gates, one could see nine statues of different colors enshrined within. Those statues looked fierce and malevolent; even after being worn down by countless years, one could still feel the baleful aura emanating from them.

Inside the palace, the Lion-Tiger Hybrid was on its last legs, letting out a threatening growl toward Ye Bai.

However, when it saw the string of people behind Ye Bai, it roared and vanished from everyone's sight with a wiggle of its rear.

"Here?"

Yang Mi was somewhat shocked and looked at Ye Bai with some confusion.

Ye Bai glanced at the dilapidated palace walls and the barely visible ancient patterns on them, whispering:

"This is the Sacrificial Grounds of the Yelang Kingdom!"

Sacrificial Grounds!!!

Wu Jing and the others were immediately drawn in by the word 'sacrificial'.

The sacrificial culture of the Yelang Kingdom—that was a culture from a thousand years ago. Could it represent a completely new system of deities?

But before Wu Jing and the others could prepare to study it, Ye Bai spoke again:

"Don't move, there's danger here. Moreover, this is very likely the entrance to King Yelang's Tomb!"
