In a dazzling private room of the Euphoria Palace Clubhouse, a middle-aged man spoke after a moment of silence, "Are you sure that there are signs of life in the depths?"
"I'm sure! I've personally observed it before, so there's no way I'm wrong. "
The shrewd and capable young man was extremely certain. He sat on the sofa not far away with a fanatical look in his eyes.
The middle-aged man stood up and paced back and forth. Then, his eyes shot out two fiery rays of light as he said, "We must seal the news. We must not let it leak out."
"Don't worry, Director Wu. We've already bribed the archaeological team. We've also provided all kinds of the most advanced detectors. They can't leave us."
"Alright, I'm assured with you in charge."
The middle-aged man walked over and gently patted the young man's shoulder. Then, he sat down and revealed a contemplative expression.
After a long time, he spoke again, "It's just some relics. I didn't expect to find such a mysterious ruin. We must make the relevant preparations and take precautions. This matter is unusual. If others find out about it, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for us to interfere. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to get as many benefits as we can.
"It's really unimaginable. Now that I think about it, it still feels like a dream. This ruin is too strange!"
The seemingly shrewd young man sighed with emotion.
"There will always be things that we can't think of in this world. It's impossible for us to understand everything. Do your best. I've been watching your hard work."
"Thank you for your appreciation, Director Wu. I won't let you down."
Speaking up to here, he seemed to have thought of something. He opened a suitcase and said, "Director Wu, I've brought the newly excavated iron armor fragments. Please take a look."
There were more than a dozen pieces of ancient and unadorned metal fragments. They were dark red in color. Although they had been buried underground for many years and looked old, there wasn't the slightest bit of rust on them. Furthermore, they were extremely hard, and it was difficult to make a small hole in them.
"These are the iron armor fragments you mentioned?"
The middle-aged man, who was called Director Wu, carefully examined them. He grabbed two pieces and compared them with each other. He weighed them a few times and said, "They're actually so heavy. They're only the size of a tangerine petal, and each piece weighs at least half a kilogram."
At this moment, the young man turned on his laptop and said, "This is the reconstruction map provided by the relevant experts. It should be an iron suit or ancient metal armor."
The iron suit displayed on the screen was simple and unadorned. It looked very ordinary, but the more one looked at it, the more deeply attracted one's eyes became. There seemed to be some kind of indescribable mystery contained on it, especially those restored metal patterns. After being pieced together, they were even more mysterious.
Right at this moment, his phone rang. The young man's expression immediately changed when he picked up the call. Not long after, he hung up the phone and said, "Director Wu, there's been an accident. There was an explosion at the scene where the metal was being identified. All the people and facilities involved have been destroyed, but the iron jacket fragment is still intact."
"Oh, so mysterious?"
Two rays of light shot out from Director Wu's dantian and said, "Let's go take a look at the scene."
In a villa on the outskirts, a clear breeze was rising in spirals. More than half of this villa had been destroyed, and the surrounding vegetation had collapsed. One could see just how powerful the explosion was.
"What's going on?"
There were several burly bodyguards guarding the scene. One of them replied, "There's a survivor, but his life is in danger. I'm afraid he can't be saved."
"Did you find out what happened?"
The smart and capable young man asked.
"He said that when he was analyzing the metal fragment, the metal suddenly emitted a blazing light. Following that, there was an explosion at the scene. He was quite far away, so he didn't die yet."
After understanding everything in detail, the middle-aged Director Wu revealed a look of contemplation and said, "Is there really a supernatural power? Make the arrangements. We'll go to the site of the excavation immediately. At the same time, make the necessary preparations. I think this matter will eventually go out of our control. "
"Director Wu, you mean …"
"In this kind of environment, the power of an individual is really insignificant. Make the necessary preparations to report to the relevant departments of the country. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat the lamb."
A day later, they arrived at Dunhuang. The sandstorm here was very strong, especially in the uninhabited area. The sandstorm was like a torrent falling from the sky, and it could even completely block the sun.
However, in a certain relic, everything was very quiet. The sandstorm seemed to be unwilling to visit this place, as if it was filled with an evil power.
"Director Wu, there's a major discovery. We've dug out some iron jacket fragments from the ruins, and they actually …"
"Actually what?"
Director Wu had long lost his composure. In the pit of the relic, he grabbed the investigator with a beard and a brick.
"Blood is flowing out of the coffin …"
The investigator seemed to be very excited. He kept explaining, "It's bright red blood. Our people are currently extracting it. It's unbelievable. I don't know why the blood in the ancient tomb didn't solidify …"
When Director Wu heard this, he was first shocked, then excited. In the end, his expression changed drastically, and he frowned.
"Things have gotten out of hand. It's no longer something that we can control …"
At this moment, a scream came from under the relic.
Everyone's expression changed, and they couldn't help but retreat. In this uninhabited area, in this mysterious relic, everyone couldn't help but think of the worst.
"Oh no, someone died. It's very tragic. He turned into white bones, and the blood all over his body is festering."
Horrified screams came from under the relic.
"That's corpse poison. Be careful, don't touch it!"
Someone shouted.
"It's not like that. The blood is shining. Without touching it, the person's blood melted and turned into white bones …"
The people above sucked in a cold breath. This place was too evil, and it made them feel a chill down their spines.
In the surroundings, sand and dust filled the sky, and the wind whistled. Only the relic was calm and quiet, which made the place even more sinister.
"Continue to dig!"
The smart and capable young man beside Director Wu gave orders on behalf of him, forcing the people below to continue.
"But once we get close to that area, the blood will shine. If this continues, everyone will die!"
The people below resisted, unwilling to continue.
"Think about it. Use other methods to dig. If you can't really uncover the secret of this place, don't come up. Just bury all of you here."
The young man reprimanded loudly. His voice was cold and emotionless.
The digging continued. Not long after, exciting news came from below.
"We found an ancient weapon. Although it's broken, there's no rust on it. It's very sharp and can easily cut through our various instruments."
"Alright, continue to dig!"
The young man clenched his fists.
However, Director Wu frowned even more.
"Director Wu, what's wrong?"
The young man asked carefully.
"I'm afraid that things have completely gone out of our control. There are many mysteries here. Maybe we should report to the relevant departments of the country. Otherwise, if things get out of hand, we won't be able to deal with it."
"With our financial resources, we can't …"
The young man was unwilling.
"You don't know about supernatural forces. Someone once warned me that if I encounter such a thing, I'll be in danger. We're not a multinational giant, and we don't have that much power. If we don't report it, it won't be good if others find out."
"Supernatural forces?"
"That's right. Although our technology is advancing with each passing day, there are still many mysterious things happening. It's just that the public doesn't know about it. I also learned some secrets in that field. At that time, I didn't pay much attention and thought that it was just a rumor. Now, it seems like …"
At this point, Director Wu didn't continue.
"Bang …"
At this moment, a loud sound came from the depths of the relic. Then, a blood-colored light shot up from the ground like a huge sharp blade. In the sky.
The blood-colored light was blazing. This beam of light was hundreds of meters long. After breaking through the sky, it caused the surrounding sandstorm to fly away.
A few screams could be heard. The people below seemed to be extremely terrified as they screamed.
"This is bad. Those who were in the blood-colored light have all been crushed and turned into a blood mist!"
"This is the place where the devil lives. We can't dig anymore …"
It was obvious that the people below were all scared out of their wits. There was nothing more impactful than seeing several of their companions being torn to shreds by the blood-colored light with their own eyes.
Above the relic, Director Wu's face was pale as he clenched his fists.
"Director Wu … are you alright?"
The young man supported him from the side.
"It's over. Indeed, it's completely out of our control. Supernatural forces, quickly report to the relevant departments. We can't get involved."
After saying this, he seemed to collapse. There was unwillingness and lingering fear in his heart.
"But Director Wu …"
"Don't say anymore. Do as I say."
Director Wu waved his hand.
"Alright."
The young man turned around and began to make a few calls. Then, his eyes lit up. He walked to the side and made another mysterious call. He said softly, "Mr. John, you have always been dedicated to the study of ancient metaphysics. I want to sell you a piece of information. I know that the financial group behind you is very powerful …"
"Bang …"
There was a tremor under the relic, and someone screamed in horror.
"An object emitting blood-colored light has been detected. This is too terrifying. This is the hell where the devil lives!"
"What's going on?"
Director Wu asked. At this point, he gradually calmed down. Without any worries, his curiosity was piqued.
"Below …"
There seem to be many corpses in the depths of the earth … And the object emitting the blood-colored light, which is also an object with life fluctuations, is actually a ball of tattered blood … It's especially eye-catching among the corpses! "
The people under the relic seemed to be scared out of their wits. Their speech was incoherent and they were stammering.
"Oh my god, it's so beautiful!"
At this moment, another scream came from below the relic.
"What did you find?"
"A peerless treasure!"
The person below seemed to be incomparably amazed. He temporarily forgot his fear and said, "A treasured tree has been detected. It is emitting a nine-colored radiance. There is a hazy mist lingering around it, but it can't cover up the nine leaves. The nine divine rainbows it emits are too fascinating."
"Treasured tree? Is it in the corpses? "
Director Wu's eyes lit up as he asked hurriedly.
"No, it is rooted far away, next to an underground river. It is extraordinary. I'm not dreaming, right? It must be a holy object that fell from heaven to hell."
Director Wu and the young man wanted to send people to dig it up, but there was no way to reach that area. The nine-colored divine rainbows circulated and blocked all the tools outside.
If Xiao Chen was here, he would definitely recognize that this was the rainbow-colored sacred tree of the past. However, it already had nine leaves. It had already grown from the size of a palm to a meter tall.
In the past, after Xiao Chen returned the sacred tree to Keke, he no longer controlled the sapling. He would never have thought that the sapling would reappear in the world.
Not long after, a rumbling sound came from the sky. Large aircrafts landed continuously.
The personnel from the National Paleontology Research Institute, Ancient Metaphysics Research Institute, and Supernatural Research Institute arrived here under heavy protection. Soon, this relic was sealed off.
However, the news was not completely sealed off. Some foreign groups were plotting to get a share of the spoils.
Of course, ordinary citizens would not know all this.
Where was Xiao Chen?
In the outskirts of a small city called Dongying in Shandong, a newly dug oil well had some problems. Many people gathered around.
"What's going on?"
"Strange, the drill pipe and the drill bit are broken." "It's not that there have never been broken drill pipes and drill bits in the past. However, this time, there is something strange. Look, there are a few strands of hair hanging on the broken drill bit. What the hell!"
A few workers pointed at the broken drill bit.
"Are you guys trying to tell me that these strands of hair were brought up from thousands of meters underground?"
A high-ranking person wearing a safety helmet looked at the workers and technicians at the drilling site with a gloomy face and said, "Don't try to fool me with such a ridiculous reason. Don't make me doubt whether there is something wrong with your brains …"
"Director Zhang, this is true!"
A technician at the side confirmed.
"Yes, Engineer Li is right. It is indeed true. We saw it with our own eyes."
A few other workers said.
"Ridiculous!"
Director Zhang glared at the few people at the scene.
"Director Zhang, your back …"
Just at this moment, a worker shouted.
"What's wrong with my back? Look at you guys. Something happened to the well, and it's all because of your rash character!"
Director Zhang was very dissatisfied.
The surrounding people all retreated as if they had seen something unbelievable. That Master Li, who was called Shang Li, cried out in surprise, "Boss Zhang, behind you, there's a lot of hair on the drilling hole …"
CEO Zhang glared angrily, then turned around to take a look. Instantly, his face turned deathly pale, and he scrambled to escape. He tumbled a few times, and only stopped when he was far enough away. He asked the crowd with a trembling voice, "Just now, what I saw … was it real?"
At this moment, they were more than fifty meters away from the oil well. Everyone turned back to look in shock.
"Yes, yes, yes … It's real!"
Someone stammered and replied, "Quick, quick, look at the well!"
Right at the mouth of the oil well, a lot of long hair appeared, followed by a head with disheveled hair and a dirty face.
Everyone immediately felt a chill down their spine.
Director Zhang gathered his courage and reprimanded the crowd, saying, "What are you doing? Why did you let someone enter the well?"
"No, no, no … No, who dared to take the risk? Director Zhang, look for yourself!"
At this moment, everyone's faces turned pale from fright as they ran into the distance again.
A strange man with disheveled hair slowly climbed out from the mouth of the well. He was dressed in strange ancient clothing, and his eyes were like two cold bolts of lightning. It was terrifying and nearly made everyone collapse to the ground.
Director Zhang followed the crowd and ran far away before he stopped. Trembling in fear, he gathered his courage and shouted, "Who … Who are you? Why … did you run under our drilling platform? Why … did you go down into the oil well? "
He was panicking and stammered.
"I was sleeping. Did you disturb me and wake me up?"
The disheveled young man's face was mostly covered by his messy hair, and his voice was very cold. Coupled with the ragged and strange clothes on his body, even under the midday sun, it made people feel a chill run down their spines.
"You … You … What nonsense are you talking about?"
When Director Zhang heard the man's words, he was both afraid and shocked. "You … How could you be underground? How could you sleep under our drilling platform? You … Who are you?"
The young man with disheveled hair was very calm. His tone was steady, but it was also very cold. He said, "I was sleeping two thousand five hundred meters underground. Why did you use an iron drill to drill into my head and wake me up?"
"You … You … You are ridiculous. What nonsense are you spouting?"
Director Zhang was very angry. He seriously suspected that someone was playing a prank on him. He said, "The drill woke you up two thousand five hundred meters underground? To think that you could think of that! Who do you think you are? Do you really think your head is made of diamond? We drilled your head, but you remained unscathed? And it even broke our drill bit? What a joke! Call the police. We must arrest this fellow who messed up our plan … "
"Are you done?"
The young man with disheveled hair quietly looked at the people in front of him and said, "You think you are in the right after waking me up? It was clearly you who drilled my head and disturbed my slumber …"
"How preposterous. Where did you come from? Why are you spreading rumors here? Who are you? How dare you come here to destroy our oil well?"
The strange man with disheveled hair thought for a moment and said, "In a sense, I'm your ancestor."
"F * ck …"
Upon hearing that, everyone was dumbfounded. This strange man was really despicable. He actually dared to take advantage of them.
Even Director Zhang could not help but curse. "F * ck, who the hell is this? He's too despicable. He's messing with us like this. F * ck, even if it's a prank, you can't do this. You came to our oil well to cause trouble. Quickly call the police. At the same time, see if anyone from the television station is secretly recording this. F * ck, if I find out which boring channel came here to obtain material, I'll make them go bankrupt! Television stations nowadays are too outrageous. They dare to do anything for the sake of programming. How dare they come to our oil well and cause trouble? I'm not finished with them. "
"That's right. Even though the oil price keeps rising, they can't mess with us like this. It's too outrageous. We should continue to suggest to the head office to continue raising the oil price!"
At the side, some people also came to their senses. They thought that this was definitely a prank. They were no longer afraid and said so.
At this moment, the young man with disheveled hair in front of the oil well did not explain anything. He directly picked up the drill bit and drilled a few times on his head.
"Kacha …"
The drill bit instantly broke into pieces and fell to the ground. That kind of sound was exceptionally ear-piercing.
And under the dumbfounded gazes of the crowd, the young man easily picked up seven or eight drill pipes weighing in units of "tons" and hammered them on his body.
The result scared half of their souls out of their bodies. All the drill pipes broke and fell to the ground with a thud!
"Oh my God!"
"It's a ghost!"
"It's really an old ghoul underground!"
Everyone's faces were pale. They rolled and crawled, wanting to escape. However, their legs were trembling, and their calves were cramping. It was difficult for them to run, and almost all of them had turned to jelly.
Moreover, at this moment, what caused their scalps to go numb was that the young man with disheveled hair actually floated over without touching the ground, like a feather. Like a specter, he arrived before the crowd.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not a ghost. In a sense, I'm really your ancestor."
The young man with disheveled hair floated closer and squatted down. His long hair covered most of his face as he stared at them. On the spot, a few people directly rolled their eyes and fainted from fright.
