Even Wang Xingxing showed some worry, his face turned pale.

Lin Qiye looked around and smiled calmly: "Everyone, what Ga Gong said may be a bit exaggerated."

"Haven't we gone through many hardships along the way?"

"So, everyone, just relax!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes brightened, their confidence increased, and their fighting spirit was high.

Even Yang Mi and Tianxian couldn't help but be impressed by Lin Qiye's bearing and courage, their eyes were filled with pink bubbles.

"What are you waiting for? Let's get going! Time is money, and money is ratings!" Yan Min waved his fist excitedly.

Therefore, under the leadership of Ga Gong, the expedition team set off again, striding towards the depths of the rainforest.

Along the way, Lin Qiye asked Ga Gong from time to time about the local topography and the distribution of animal and plant species.

With his many years of experience as a guide, Ga Gong introduced the following in detail:
"Look, this rain forest is high in the north and low in the south, with a huge difference in altitude. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there are streams crisscrossing. It's very difficult to walk."

"Look at these trees, they are dozens of meters high, with twisted branches, like giant pillars. The bushes and vines below are so dense that you can easily get lost if you are not careful."

"As for wild animals, insects and snakes, that's even more unnecessary. Cobras, pythons, scorpions, their venom is as toxic as poison. Once bitten, nine out of ten times you'll die."

Listening to Ga Gong's explanation, everyone couldn't help but gasp and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

Especially Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian, they were almost frightened out of their wits and grabbed Lin Qiye's arms tightly.

"Brother Qiye, this forest is too scary, isn't it? Are there really monsters?"

"That's right, brother Qiye, I think we should not go in yet, let's think of other ways."

Facing the pitiful looks of the two women, Lin Qiye smiled and patted their shoulders gently:
"Alright, alright, I'm here, what are you afraid of? No matter how dangerous it is, I won't let you get hurt."

"Besides, we have come this far, how can we give up halfway? Isn't exploring the unknown the purpose of our industry?"

Hearing this, Yang Mi and Tianxian felt a little relieved. They stopped complaining and followed Lin Qiye obediently.

Wang Xingxing and Na Jie followed behind and rarely made any comments.

This scene naturally aroused the curiosity of the audience in the live broadcast room.

[Oh my god! Sister Mi and Tianxian are openly acting like spoiled brats? It's true that girls can't be kept when they grow up!]

[That's right! You have no shame in front of so many people! Who do you think you are, Inspector Lin?]

[Tsk, why are you so jealous? These two sisters are so charming, isn't it normal for them to attract so many men? If you can do it, go ahead!]

[Come on, with their looks, are they worthy of being compared with our Xing Xing? She is the real queen, so beautiful that it shakes the world, right?]

[Haha, what's the point of beauty? We're talking about adventure, not a beauty pageant! If you don't have some real skills, you'll pee your pants if you enter an ancient tomb, right?]

[Go, go, go, who said that Xingxing sister has no talent? She is a great singer, and maybe she can even use her song to ward off ghosts at a critical moment! Let's see who can still laugh when the time comes!]

There was another round of verbal battle, with everyone arguing endlessly about the merits and demerits of the three female stars.

But Lin Qiye turned a deaf ear to them and led the team steadily into the heart of the rainforest. About half an hour later, they came to a relatively open valley.

The surroundings are lush and green, exotic flowers and plants cover the ground, and springs gurgle, making it seem like a fairyland.

"We should take a break here and replenish some dry food and water." Lin Qiye winked at Yan Min.

The latter understood and immediately ordered the team members to stop and start setting up camp.

Ga Gong glanced around, walked over to Lin Qiye and whispered, "Over the years, I have inquired about the news about that tomb. It is said that there may be an extraordinary treasure hidden in it."

"Baby? What baby?" Lin Qiye became interested.

"Well," Ga Gong kept the secret, "rumor has it that it is a magical weapon, called the Soul-Separating Sword. It is said to be a precious sword forged in ancient times, extremely sharp, immune to all poisons, decisive in killing, and indestructible."

Lin Qiye was surprised when he heard this: "Soul-Separation Sword? I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

[Fuck! Soul-Separation Sword? Isn’t that a magical weapon from the Grave Robbers’ Chronicles? Why is it here?]

[That’s right! Didn’t Wu Sanxing give away the sword he dug up back then? How come another one appeared?]

[Haha, you brainless fans are drunk! That's a novel, this is reality! Besides, just the name is the same, it doesn't mean it's the same treasure!]

[These days, there is more than one precious sword. Besides, who knows how true or false that rumor is? Maybe it was just made up by the Ga Communists to bluff people!]

[That’s right! If there really was such a powerful artifact in the ancient tomb, it would have been dug up by tomb robbers long ago. How could it be our turn?]

[Come on, you are the only ones who know the most! What if this Soul-Separation Sword is really unique? Who knows. Maybe it has a connection with the one from back then?]

In the live broadcast room, everyone was arguing over the topic of the Soul-Separation Sword.

After listening to Ga Gong's words, Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and asked: "Have you ever seen this knife? Or do you know what it looks like?"

Ga Gong shook his head with a look of regret: "I have never seen this with my own eyes. However, I heard from an old man in the village that he once accidentally saw the pattern of this knife in an ancient book."

"Oh? What pattern?" Lin Qiye became interested.

"The old man said that the knife was completely black, without a trace of other colors. The blade was long and wide, more than one meter long, and there were strange patterns carved on the handle, which looked like some ancient characters." Ga Gong gestured, his eyes flashing with yearning.

Lin Qiye was silent, thinking to himself: "The black-gold color, more than one meter long, and the inscription on the handle do look a bit like the legendary Soul-Separating Sword. It's a pity that there are no more clues, otherwise..."

As he was thinking, Wang Xingxing suddenly said, "Eh? Didn't the director just show us an ancient brick? I remember there seemed to be a similar pattern engraved on it. Could it be related to this knife?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

Lin Qiye's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked: "Xingxing, which brick are you talking about?"

Wang Xingxing thought for a moment and recalled: "It was that black brick with yellowed corners and a few Tai Chi-like circles on it, with tadpole-like patterns in the middle."

"Yes!"

Lin Qiye slapped his thigh and suddenly understood: "The pattern on that brick is very similar to the pattern on the knife handle described by Ga Gong! I think it's almost the same language!"

After that, he ran to Yan Min excitedly and urged him, "Director, quickly take out the brick you collected and show it to everyone. Maybe the direction indicated by the jade pendant is related to it!" (End of this chapter)
