Finally Seeing the Nine-story Demon Tower

Hu Ming heard Professor Chen's words, waved his hand, and continued, "The predecessor of Jingjue Ancient City was the Demon Country. After the Demon Country perished, a sect called the Samsara Sect took the Ghost Mother of the Demon Country and fled near the Ghost Cave, and established Jingjue Ancient City here. However, the Jingjue Queen is the last Ghost Mother of the Demon Country."

Then Hu Ming looked at everyone and said, "This is the origin of the Jingjue Kingdom."

Professor Chen and the others all nodded upon hearing this.

At this moment, Yang Xueli spotted a button. The button was made of plastic and was corrosion-resistant. As long as it wasn't subjected to strong damage, it could last for a very long time.

She picked up the button and looked closely. Her pretty face changed, and her breathing quickened.

This was a professional button used by a famous clothing factory in the United States. She remembered that her father's shirts had buttons like this.

There was a river in front of them. If they wanted to cross without getting their clothes wet, they would have to take them off. A button must have fallen off here. What exactly happened?

Whoosh~

A splash rose from the hundred-meter-wide river. Yang Xueli, in a low mood, didn't notice.

Hu Ming, however, felt something and looked towards the lake, but found nothing. Hu Ming frowned.

At this moment, Hu Bayi suddenly said, "We've been here for quite some time. Let's hurry and move forward."

Everyone nodded and then packed their belongings, preparing to cross the river.

Hu Ming walked at the front and heard Xiao Sa say, "Oh, this water feels so comfortable!"

Fatty also chimed in, "Doesn't it!"

Hu Ming turned around and said in a low voice to everyone, "Let's cross the river quickly and pick up the pace. There's probably something in this river."

Hu Bayi nodded at this point and said, "Indeed. If we feel comfortable, so will other things. Let's hurry."

Professor Chen nodded and then said to his students, "You've all heard this. Let's cross the river quickly."

There were no incidents as everyone crossed to the other side of the river.

However, as Hu Ming crossed, he always felt like something was watching him. It wasn't just him; Hu Bayi felt the same way.

After they landed, they exchanged a look. They knew something was around them. Both Hu Ming and Hu Bayi's sixth sense had been honed on the battlefield. They had survived many times in recent years thanks to this feeling.

Hu Ming and Hu Bayi scanned their surroundings several times, but still found nothing.

At this moment, Fatty couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you guys? Why are you always looking around?"

"Fatty, Old Hu and I keep feeling like something is watching us nearby."

Professor Hao suddenly popped out again and asked, "Have Comrade Xiao Hu and Comrade Xiao Ming discovered anything?"

Hu Bayi hesitated for a moment and replied, "Mingzi and I haven't found anything."

"Haven't found anything, then don't cause unnecessary panic, hmph!"

Just as Hu Bayi was about to say something more, Hu Ming pulled him back and shook his head.

Hu Ming looked at the others and said, "Let's keep moving forward!"

After everyone had organized their things, they continued to follow Hu Bayi and Hu Ming forward.

They hadn't walked far after crossing the river when whoosh whoosh whoosh sounds came from the communicator. Hu Bayi checked it and told everyone, "There's no signal here anymore. We don't know what's happening up there."

"Miss Yang, we'll leave as soon as we find what you need," he said, specifically looking at Yang Xueli.

He always felt that Yang Xueli was very mysterious, with a hidden agenda. Coming all this way to fund an archaeological team? Could she really be that kind? Although he had a good impression of her, he had to be cautious, as she was clearly not simple.

Seeing Hu Bayi's serious attitude, Yang Xueli nodded slightly.

She had wanted to win over these three brothers before, but now, she seemed to have given up. These three were as cunning as monkeys. They were not people she could control.

It was possible that she might even be tricked by them, and then have nowhere to cry.

Moving forward, they turned a corner and started climbing a slope. Everyone was stunned as they ascended, their breathing quickening, including Hu Ming.

This scene was more beautiful and magical than anything they could have dreamed of. It was a natural, vast space, like a treasure cave, emitting an ethereal blue light, or perhaps it was hell, waiting for the souls of the departed.

"Nine-story Demon Tower," Hu Ming murmured, his eyes captivated. He had never seen such a beautiful sight in both his lives.

Professor Chen exclaimed repeatedly, "This is the greatest gift heaven has bestowed upon us. The mysterious Demon Country will turn a new page and present itself to the world in a shocking manner."

He seemed somewhat delirious, raising his hands high.

It was as if he were welcoming the arrival of a demon king. "Professor Chen, are you alright?"

"Gawa, what are you doing?" Just after asking Professor Chen, Hu Bayi saw Gawa kneel down, bowing towards the glowing blue area. He was muttering in Tibetan, and no one understood what he was saying.

"Gawa, this is feudal superstition. Get up quickly."

The big man, disappointed, grabbed Gawa. "You're wearing a military uniform. You can't do this. Hasn't the Party's ideology liberated you yet?"

"This is faith."

"We should uphold the Party's faith. All other beliefs are unimportant."

Hearing this, the big man turned his head and smiled at Hu Ming. "Comrade Hu Ming has excellent ideological qualities. Comrade Gawa still needs proper education."

Hu Ming smiled and nodded. They were all soldiers and shared the same faith: loyalty to the Party, the country, and the people.

Gawa indeed needed to be educated. How could he kneel to this so-called monarch of the Demon Country while wearing a military uniform?
