Ye Tian waited until the early hours of the morning when the group finally headed towards a hole in the ground. The hole was located beneath the roots of an ancient tree. One person lay on the ground, a dagger in his mouth, and after putting on a headlamp, he crawled inside. A rope was tied to his waist, and people behind him were pulling it.
Five minutes after the first person crawled in, a muffled scream was heard. Those outside quickly pulled the rope, but only a leg was pulled up, bloody and mangled.
The young man's expression turned serious as he looked at the second person.
This person's face was pale and he was trembling all over, but he was still tied with a rope and continued to crawl inside.
However, this time it was even worse. Just a few minutes after the person entered, a scream was heard. When the rope was pulled out again, not even a single leg hair was left, apart from the broken rope.
The third person to go down had already collapsed on the ground in fear, and it was none other than Lord Qingtian.
The man looked at him and bowed, "Lord Qingtian, please!"
Qingtian was unable to speak. He was supported and thrown into the hole. However, his legs were weak and he couldn't crawl down, so those above had to poke him with something to push him in.
But it was clear that this Lord Qingtian was no exception. Before long, he also let out a scream. Those outside quickly pulled the rope, and this time, half of his body was pulled up, his death gruesome.
The young man looked at the remaining people. They all retreated, clearly no one else was willing to go to their deaths.
He sighed and casually pointed at one person. This person knelt on the ground in fear, but it was no use. Two people immediately grabbed him and forced him into the hole.
Thus, the Japanese continued to send unlucky souls into the cave. By the seventh person, he was not eaten. Instead, he walked out of the cave holding a dark green bead.
The young man snatched the bead, his eyes gleaming. He laughed heartily and said something, and everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief, kneeling to congratulate him.
Ye Tian stared at the bead, feeling it emit a faint malevolent aura and a cool energy.
At that moment, his inner core suddenly flew out, uncontrollably flying towards the dark green bead. The two beads collided, immediately merging into one, and then flew back to Ye Tian's side.
He grabbed the inner core and looked closely. The inner core had already enveloped the bead, seemingly digesting it.
The young man was taken aback, then enraged. He roared and pointed his finger, and two people immediately lunged at Ye Tian. These two were the Ninja Kings protecting him.
Ye Tian didn't move. He struck out with a palm strike in mid-air. The palm print hit one of them, who grunted, spat blood, and fell to the ground. The other was startled and stopped halfway, trying to retreat. However, Ye Tian gave him no chance. He reached him in one step and struck him in the chest with a palm.
"Pfft!"
This palm strike knocked the Ninja King to the ground. Ye Tian then followed up with a kick, ending his life.
The man was greatly alarmed and turned to flee, but Ye Tian caught up with him instantly, grabbed him by the neck, and left. The others all chased after them, but by the time they arrived, Ye Tian had already disappeared into the forest.
Even while carrying a person, Ye Tian returned to the campsite in about half an hour.
Ren Ping heard the commotion and came out. When he saw the person Ye Tian was carrying, he was stunned, "You just brought him here?"
Ye Tian replied, "I killed two Ninja Kings."
Ren Ping asked, "Did you find anything?"
Ye Tian said, "He sent people to explore, and six died."
Ren Ping nodded, "I'll take him away first. If you want to continue exploring, I won't stop you."
Ye Tian said, "Alright. Since I'm here, I might as well figure it out."
He was very interested in what was in the hole and felt it necessary to explore it.
Ren Ping said, "Okay. I'll wait for you at the airport. If you need help, call the satellite phone."
After Ren Ping and his group left, Ye Tian returned to the location of the hole. When he got back, he was stunned. The people who were there before had all turned into corpses!
