151: Chapter 151 Can a human really slay a dragon?

They did whatever Ye Xiao said.

However, at certain moments, the Archaeological Team always had their own concerns.

A moment later, the Bodyguard Team had already lowered the climbing ropes, and everyone in the Archaeological Team had fastened their safety buckles.

Following Ye Xiao's order, the Archaeological Team descended the cliff one after another.

Everyone kept looking up from time to time, terrified that a head wearing a rusted helmet might suddenly poke out from the top of the cliff.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao could not help but speak up.

"Don't worry about anything else, just keep descending! Hurry!"

Right now, time was money; every glance upward wasted a bit of time.

For the Archaeological Team, who had not yet escaped the pursuit of the Bronze Ancient Corpse, it was still a dire situation.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, the Archaeological Team immediately descended slowly along the climbing ropes toward the bottom of the cliff.

Meanwhile, in the Seminar Hall, Professor Zhou's brows remained tightly furrowed.

"We know nothing about the situation at the bottom of this cliff. Descending rashly is bound to be extremely dangerous!"

Then, Professor Zhou looked up at Ye Xiao and said, "We don't even know if the climbing ropes have reached the bottom. This is a gamble!"

However, Ye Xiao shook his head slightly and said, "There is no turning back. Turning back means certain death!"

"If the Archaeological Team wants to survive, they must take this gamble!"

Professor Zhou wanted to say something more, "But this..."

Ye Xiao's voice rang out again: "Have you ever wondered why the traces of the senior Gongshu completely disappeared once they reached this point?"

When Ye Xiao said this, everyone present was slightly taken aback.

Then, as if remembering something, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"You mean... there might be another way out here that was found by Senior Gongshu?"

Saying this, Professor Zhou paused for a moment and spoke again, "Could this passage be at the bottom of the cliff?"

Ye Xiao nodded slightly and said, "The reason the Bronze Ancient Corpse was able to find the Archaeological Team time and again is precisely because of this passage beneath the cliff!"

Only after these words were spoken did the members of the Archaeological Team finally realize the truth.

They could not help but sigh, "So that's it!"

However, just at this moment, another accident occurred beneath the tomb.

For some reason, the further the Archaeological Team descended, the stronger the thick, foul stench became.

In the end, even with gas masks on, the Archaeological Team could not withstand the power of this foul stench.

Professor Yang could not help but feel puzzled, saying, "This stench is getting stronger and stronger! Could it be that below..."

As he spoke, Professor Yang suddenly stopped.

He had his own suspicions, but he was afraid that voicing them would cause panic among the others and make them lose their composure.

So, with no other choice, he had to force himself to hold it back.

Ye Xiao, however, raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "It should be fine; it's been dead for several hundred years!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was slightly stunned.

"Dead for several hundred years?" "What has been dead for several hundred years?"

In the hall, everyone looked at each other, completely unable to understand the meaning behind Ye Xiao's words.

The members of the Archaeological Team were also confused, equally unaware of what had happened.

But since Ye Xiao said it was fine, the others did not think much of it and immediately gripped the climbing ropes, quickly climbing downwards.

Before long, the Bodyguard Team Captain, who had descended first, suddenly felt as if he was stepping on something hard beneath his feet.

He probed around, and after confirming it could support his weight, he slowly let go of the rope.

Then, he shouted upward, "I've landed! There's a place to stand down here!"

Immediately after, the Bodyguard Team Captain hurriedly lit a torch.

At this moment, due to the scarcity of fuel, the torch's flame was already quite weak.

Naturally, it was unable to dispel the endless darkness beneath the deep cliff.

However, it was enough for the Bodyguard Team Captain to see that beneath his feet appeared to be a kind of white rock, and quite a large one at that.

After stomping a few times to ensure it was solid, he hurried to assist Professor Yang and the others as they landed on this rock.

After a long while, every member of the Archaeological Team had landed on this white rock.

After landing on the rock, Professor Yang could not wait to turn on his flashlight and began to examine the surroundings.

However, the moment the flashlight's beam lit up, everyone's brains stopped functioning for an instant.

Even the viewers in the Live Stream Room had their pupils dilate sharply, their breathing suddenly hitching.

At this moment, the entire world seemed to fall silent.

Before their eyes, illuminated by the flashlight, the entire bottom of the cliff shimmered with an eerie red color.

Eerie, captivating, and incredibly strange!

Looking ahead, it seemed like a river made of fresh blood, which had been silently flowing beneath this cliff for hundreds of years.

Just thinking about it sent a chill down one's spine, making one's scalp tingle.

Looking closer, the place they were standing on was not, as the Bodyguard Team Captain had thought, some kind of white rock.

It was a segment of a spine.

To be precise, it was a segment of a spine exposed from the blood river.

It had been stretched out like that at the bottom of the cliff.

This skeleton was immense; just this exposed segment of bone could easily hold a hundred or eighty people standing on it.

It could not help but remind one of one of the twenty-four murals.

Blood filled the entire canyon, and a headless dragon corpse lay silently in the pool of blood.

It made one's feet feel cold, and instantly, every hair on their body stood on end.

After a long while, the viewers in the Live Stream Room reacted.

The entire Live Stream Room suddenly exploded, like a bursting flood.

"Oh my god! Isn't this the scene from that mural?"

"The mural... the mural is real! This is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood! It's just too terrifying!"

"I feel like my heart is about to jump out!"

"What kind of person was that Taoist in blue? He actually slew a dragon! Has this world gone mad?"

...In an instant, such remarks flooded the entire Live Stream Room.

Everyone could not stop exclaiming and sighing.

A truly complete segment of dragon bone appeared right before everyone's eyes.

It was equivalent to confirming the news of the existence of a "True Dragon" right before the public eye.

For a moment, the entire Great Xia seemed to be in an uproar.

... Command Headquarters Seminar Hall

The experts present regained their senses, and a sound of exhaling instantly filled the hall.

All the experts could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.

The scene just now had delivered such a shocking visual impact that it was only now that everyone had finally reacted.

Professor Zhou looked at the big screen, unable to hide the look of shock in his eyes.

He turned to look at Ye Xiao and could not help but ask, "Is this... the dragon bone?"
