Conflict

Hu Ming and Hu Bayi also walked over to Professor Chen and the others, searching a pile of remains for anything valuable.

However, these were just burial pits, and there were too many bodies. The two searched carefully.

At this moment, Hu Ming finally found a ruby pendant among the remains. Seeing this, Hu Ming couldn't help but murmur, "It seems there are not just slaves here, but also other people. I guess they were the builders or other serious offenders?"

Hu Ming directly put it into his spatial storage and then continued searching.

When Hu Ming found the fourth treasure, Sa Dipeng, holding a camera and taking pictures everywhere, asked, "Brother Hu Ming, do you think aliens built this place?"

He was also preparing to take a few photos on the steps of the Nine-story Demon Tower. He happened to encounter Hu Ming at the base of the tower and smiled, "I'm just asking casually, don't scold me."

"It's hard to say yet, Xiao Sa," Hu Ming, who had been too focused on finding things, hadn't paid much attention to Xiao Sa, so he was a bit flustered, and his tone suddenly became very gentle.

Seeing Hu Ming say this, Sa Dipeng thought he was like-minded and his eyes lit up. In fact, the reason he was an archaeologist was to study aliens.

Searching for ancient tombs on Earth buried by aliens.

Hu Ming saw him suddenly become happy and couldn't help but sigh at how wild his imagination was!

Click.

Chu Jian suddenly tripped and fell, landing on a skeleton, which shattered into several pieces.

This disturbed the Fire Ladybugs on the Nine-story Demon Tower. One by one, the Fire Ladybugs slightly spread their wings, and a faint blue flame coiled around them. A burning power was transmitted directly into everyone's hearts.

Everyone held their breath, not daring to exhale. Fortunately, the Fire Ladybugs retracted their wings, and everything returned to peace.

"Xiao Chu, be careful."

"Are you okay?" Seeing Chu Jian's clumsiness, both professors were a little helpless.

He can't even walk steadily, and he's a mountaineer.

At this moment, Fatty appeared from somewhere, holding a yellowed leather bag.

"Mingzi, look at this." Seeing Fatty waving the leather bag at him, Hu Ming knew it was the notebook of Yang Xueli's "father." As expected, our Fatty has always had good luck. However, Hu Ming wasn't very interested in this notebook. He already knew most of what was in it, and this thing was useless to him.

Just as Hu Ming was about to ask Hu Bayi about the treasures he had found, he realized that the scoundrel had gone to find Yang Xueli at some point.

Yang Xueli, in order to find the notebook, had risked her life to walk up the steps at the base of the demon tower. The Fire Ladybugs were less than half a meter away from her, and she could clearly feel the scorching blue flames. She secretly thought, "Where exactly was the notebook lost?"

Yang Xueli was getting anxious. It wasn't on the steps. She turned around and looked down into the burial pit, seeing the leather bag in Fatty's hand. Her face lit up with joy, and she quickly went down.

Seeing Yang Xueli go down, Hu Bayi, who was following her, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid Yang Xueli would disturb the Fire Ladybugs. This woman is incredibly reckless.

Hu Bayi, who had just come down from a step with Yang Xueli, brushed past Sa Dipeng.

"Xiao Sa, hurry up." Seeing that Sa Dipeng wasn't listening to him, Hu Bayi frowned. He felt like everyone in this group was looking for death.

He looked down and saw Fatty proudly showing off the bag in front of Hu Ming. He sighed. These two brothers really valued money over their lives. However, he had his own share of the profits.

At this moment, Shirley Yang had come down and reached Fatty. Seeing the leather bag in Fatty's hand, she thought, "This bag should contain the things my father and the others left behind here."

"Mr. Wang, give me the bag." Fatty, who already found Yang Xueli annoying, was not going to give her the bag?

"You have to pay more, fifty thousand US dollars." Damn, Fatty immediately asked for money. Hu Ming almost couldn't help but laugh.

"I can't pay more, just give me the bag." Yang Xueli's face was grim. She knew Fatty was someone who didn't know his place and was asking for money the moment they met.

"No extra money, don't even think about the bag." Fatty tucked the leather bag under his armpit and stared unhappily at Yang Xueli.

The others also walked over when they saw the argument. Hu Ming, seeing this, was about to persuade Fatty to give the bag to Yang Xueli when...

"Fatty, that bag is useless to us, just give it to her..."

Before Hu Ming could finish speaking, he saw Yang Xueli actually pull out a gun and point it at Fatty.

Hu Ming was furious and was about to make a move when Hu Bayi stepped in and said, "Miss Yang Xueli, put the gun away. Fatty, give her the bag."

"I..." Fatty was about to say something when Hu Ming suddenly said, "Fatty, give her the bag!"

Fatty looked at Hu Ming, but found Hu Ming's expressionless face, yet a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes. Fatty immediately got scared. As a brother, he knew Hu Ming was in a state of extreme rage.

Fatty decisively threw the bag to Yang Xueli, and just as Yang Xueli caught the bag.

Hu Ming then said faintly, "You should be glad, glad Old Hu came over. Otherwise, just for pointing a gun at my brother, I would twist your head off. Do you believe I can do it?"

Hu Ming was only about two meters away from Yang Xueli. He was confident that he could make her aim deviate before she could fire, and then it wouldn't be difficult for him to kill her with his twenty years of Eight-level Fist training.

At this moment, Professor Hao was about to interject, "Hu Ming, my..."

He found Hu Ming looking at him, and a trace of bloodlust appeared in his eyes.

Professor Chen immediately pulled Professor Hao behind him. At this moment, Hu Bayi said expressionlessly, "Let's discuss whatever it is outside. Let's leave it for now!"

Hu Ming nodded faintly, understanding Hu Bayi's intention was for him to settle the score later.

Hu Bayi truly regretted taking this mission. He had already decided to leave with Hu Ming and Fatty after they got out, as there was no contract anyway.

Although Hu Bayi had a good impression of Yang Xueli, it was just an impression. Fatty and Hu Ming were his brothers who had gone through life and death together. Yang Xueli had actually pointed a gun at him.

Professor Chen didn't know what to say either. No matter how wrong Fatty was, you couldn't point a gun at him, especially since he had heard Hu Ming trying to persuade Fatty to give her the bag just now!

The two tall soldiers also felt even worse about Yang Xueli. Pointing a gun at a comrade was a taboo in the army.
