In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

The entire archaeological team was in an uproar. "I'm actually lucky enough to witness the legendary Nine-Story Demon Tower!"

Sherry Yang also said, "The Nine-Story Demon Tower is the burial site of the ancient Demon Kingdom's successive kings' tombs. It definitely contains clues about the Jingjue Ancient City. Let's go up..."

Su Mo knew that Shirley Yang would never give up searching for clues about the Jingjue Ancient City, but considering their employer-employee relationship, Su Mo still kindly reminded her, "Miss Yang, the blue light on the Nine-Story Demon Tower is emitted by the Rotten Fireflies..."

Sherry Yang's expression changed. "You mean these..."

"Yes!"

Su Mo grinned, looking like a cheerful, sunny young man. "This is the lair of the Rotten Firefly, and this is the mass grave we mentioned a few days ago!"

"........."

Sherry Yang remained silent, but her expression kept changing.

"No, I want to go up!"

Sherry Yang stubbornly insisted, "I want to go up the Nine-Story Demon Tower..."

Su Mo knew this would be the outcome, so he didn't try to persuade her. He looked at Shirley Yang with a smile and said, "Miss Yang, I respect your choice, but..."

Su Mo paused, then looked at Shirley Yang with a serious expression, "We need to pay more!"

"it is good!"

Sherry Yang glared at Su Mo, her teeth clenched, "Add another 10 each, and you're all coming up with me..."

Su Mo beamed with joy, "Alright!"

The archaeological team members were also full of enthusiasm, saying, "For the sake of archaeology, we must go up!"

"Yes, yes, we want to go too!"

"We are willing to dedicate ourselves to art!"

Without exception, the members of the archaeological team all had to climb the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

"you…"

Old Hu roared, "Are you all courting death?"

Su Mo's gaze was icy. "It's alright, all of you go. Don't leave a single one behind, all of you go..."

The fat man looked at Su Mo with some surprise. For some reason, when Su Mo said those words, he felt a chill run down his spine and a cold feeling surged into his heart.

Old Hu looked at Su Mo, his face showing some anxiety, "Brother Su... what's going on with them..."

Old Hu didn't believe that Su Mo was unaware of the dangers involved.

"........."

Su Mo shook her head, indicating that he didn't need to continue.

Watching the archaeological team pass by him one by one, Su Mo remained expressionless. Only after they stepped onto the Nine-Layered Demon Tower did Su Mo say, "The death of a few people may not be a bad thing. If they don't learn their lesson, even more will die in the Jingjue Ancient City!"

Su Mo scoffed, "Do they think this is child's play?"

"If a few people don't die, these idealists won't know the danger of this mission!"

"If a few people don't die, the archaeological team won't obediently follow my orders!"

"..."

Old Hu and the fat man were stunned and looked at each other in disbelief.

"Let's go..."

Su Mo, Lao Hu, and Fatty followed behind the archaeological team, while several young soldiers brought up the rear, keeping watch with their guns drawn.

The group carefully climbed up the nine-story demon tower.

Su Mo held his breath and activated his Golden Eyes, focusing intently on the changes in the surrounding decaying fireflies.

"what…"

Xiao Chu from the archaeological team missed a step on the stairs, half of his body dangling in mid-air. "Help me, help me..."

"Buzzing..."

The fireflies around them were startled awake, their wings flapping, and the surrounding scenery flickered between light and shadow.

Su Mo was startled and glared at Xiao Chu, signaling him to shut up.

"..."

Everyone stood rooted to the spot, watching Xiao Chu with extreme tension.

Xiao Chu covered her mouth, no longer daring to make a sound.

"Buzz!"

The sound shrank slightly until it disappeared completely.

Seeing the outfit, Lao Hu breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that the fireflies hadn't awakened. He glanced up at Xue Li Yang and noticed that she had somehow acquired a notebook.

That must be the notebook that records clues about the ancient Jingjue Kingdom.

This trip is a great success! I can finally leave this awful place!

The immense pressure on Lao Hu's shoulders finally subsided.

"Shh!"

Su Mo's figure appeared silently beside Shirley Yang like a ghost. "Miss Yang, we've found what you're looking for. We should go now!"

"it is good!"

Sherry Yang put the notebook in her pocket and then led the team back the way they came.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound to find that Xiao Sa's camera had fallen to the ground.

"Buzzing..."

"Buzz!"

This time, all the decaying fireflies inside the Nine-Story Demon Tower flapped their wings and flew high, all eyeing Su Mo and the group of archaeologists.

Oh shit!

Su Mo was furious. "You lousy bastard! All you ever do is betray your teammates!"

Little Sa also looked completely innocent, "It fell down by accident!"

"Buzzing..."

Countless fireflies, shimmering with blue light, flew directly towards the archaeological team like a swarm of locusts.

Su Mo roared, "Get out of here! We've already lost everything we couldn't take with us..."

The group panicked and fled downstairs, but they underestimated the speed of the fireflies. Soon, the blue-green fireflies caught up with them.

Su Mo took a deep breath, his powerful energy gathering in his chest, and roared, "Get out of my way!"

Su Mo's voice, accompanied by a soft dragon's roar, resounded across the sky like a thunderclap.

The sound waves rolled and many decaying fireflies fell to the ground, turning into dead objects.

"Buzz!"

The fireflies seemed to sense immense terror and retreated in all directions.

The Azure Dragon bloodline is indeed effective!

Su Mo's face lit up with joy. He quickly bit his finger and his body passed through the archaeological team like a shadow.

"Blessed by Heaven, all taboos are lifted!"

Su Mo placed a drop of his own blood on each of their foreheads. "Let's go!"

"Let's go, let's hurry!"

Old Hu and Fatty were urging everyone on, and they hurriedly fled downstairs.

This time, the Fireflies avoided them and never chased after them again.

"Su Mo, how did you manage to do this...?"

When she got downstairs, Shirley Yang was about to thank Su Mo, but she couldn't find him anywhere. She was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the Nine-Story Demon Tower. She saw Su Mo's figure was like a ghost, flying over walls and rooftops, and he easily reached the top floor of the Nine-Story Demon Tower.

He not only walked on the Nine-Story Demon Tower as if it were flat ground, but even the surrounding fireflies dared not approach him.

Sherry Yang's pupils contracted, and she asked Old Hu, "What is he doing?"

Old Hu shrugged. "How would I know!"

.........

【Ding! 】

Just as I arrived at the top floor of the Nine-Story Demon Tower, the system voice sounded at the same time: [Congratulations, host, for completing the mission! Reward: System Space +4 square meters!]

The expansion of the system space was better than nothing, and Su Mo didn't take it to heart.

Standing atop the nine-story demon tower, two large coffins came into Su Mo's view.

"Bang!"

Su Mo showed no mercy, directly flipping the lids of the two coffins open. Then, looking down, he found a man and a woman lying in the two coffins respectively.

"So poor, they didn't even have any decent burial goods..."

Su Mo shook his head and looked at the top floor of the Nine-Story Demon Tower again. Just as he turned around, the two corpses in the coffin suddenly opened their eyes.

The surrounding temperature dropped instantly.

Su Mo felt a chill run down his spine and instantly turned around to look at the two corpses inside the coffin again.
