"Forget it?" General Jones was stunned when he heard the president's words, not quite understanding the purpose of the other party's statement.

“Yes,” the president said solemnly, “I will send intelligence agents over there. You just need to do your jobs.”

“This is an order!” he emphasized.

After hanging up the phone, the president stood still and looked eastward.

His gaze seemed to traverse the vast Atlantic Ocean and the Eurasian continent, reaching that great Eastern country.

"Could it be another miracle?" he wondered to himself.

……

"This is a miracle!"

Upon seeing the magnificent and ancient stone gate before him, and the quicksand overhead, Wang Jianqiang exclaimed in surprise.

"Captain, you have to stay calm!"

Unlike his excitement and joy, the faces of several team members were full of worry.

They arrived at this site in northern Cambodia more than a month ago.

After the initial setbacks, everyone was full of confidence.

Su Nan's public intimidation of the Cambodians had a huge impact on them, but it also gave them a strong sense of hope.

As members of the dragon-hunting team, they all realized that what they were looking for must be related to extraordinary power.

So everyone put in their best effort and carefully examined and studied the site.

After contacting the Cambodian side, they brought in an engineering team to specifically excavate the area.

For nearly a month, they dug away a layer of ground, but still found nothing.

Just when everyone was feeling discouraged, they suddenly unearthed a hole during the excavation the day before yesterday.

The hole was less than a meter in diameter, and they dug for a long time without it getting smaller.

They were unable to determine the depth of the hole using either detectors or other tools.

Upon receiving the news, Wang Jianqiang decided to go inside and take a look for himself.

He tied a safety rope around his waist, had several team members guard the entrance, and, wearing professional equipment, crawled into the cave.

The cave entrance was deep and dark, with occasional obstructions, all of which he broke through one by one.

When he had descended to a depth of nearly a hundred meters, something with a faint glow appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

This time, when he tried to break it open, it caused an earthquake-like collapse, and several team members at the upper entrance slid down as a result.

If Wang Jianqiang hadn't pressed an emergency button on the Dragon-Seeking Compass at a crucial moment, he felt he would have been buried alive under the quicksand.

The emergency button's functionality particularly impressed him.

He had previously been told that the emergency button on the device could only be used in the most critical moments and could only be used once, which he was curious about.

Only when he actually pressed it did he realize just how extraordinary it was.

A transparent barrier was erected, effectively blocking the sand and soil from entering!

"I wonder if Team Leader Lei can do it!" Wang Jianqiang thought to himself.

Upon hearing what his teammates said, the joy on his face gradually faded.

He knew he was not out of danger yet.

It's unclear how long the protective shield attached to the Dragon-Seeking Compass will last...

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a "crack" sound, followed by a cry of surprise.

Wang Jianqiang looked up and immediately saw the newly appeared crack on the protective shield; his expression changed instantly.

He hurriedly moved toward the stone door in front of him, only to find that the stone door, covered with eerie murals depicting menacing claws, was not only impossible to open, but not even a crack could be seen; it seemed to be nothing more than a decoration.

"Quickly, look for any mechanisms!" Wang Jianqiang shouted.

He had just finished speaking when he suddenly heard a beeping sound, and then he saw numbers popping up on the Dragon Seeking Compass.

Seeing the numbers jump around, the worry on his face instantly turned into joy.

This place is imbued with the aura of a dragon!

However, the joy on his face didn't last three seconds before it vanished without a trace.

The increasingly frequent cracking sounds rang out, and the cracks on the protective shield quickly spread like a spider web, as if it was about to break apart.

The alarm on the Dragon Seeking Compass continued to sound, but the protective shield was clearly giving way.

Just as Wang Jianqiang was sweating profusely with anxiety, his hand suddenly felt slightly heavy, and the protective shield finally broke!

The quicksand rained down on him like a tidal wave, and Wang Jianqiang's expression turned to despair.

He could already smell the earthy odor in his nostrils, and some fine quicksand even splashed into his eyes.

Just when he felt helpless, he suddenly noticed that the quicksand above his head had stopped moving.

They seemed to be held up by an invisible force, suspended in the air, motionless.

Wang Jianqiang paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and turned to look at the stone gate.

A faint white shadow appeared there.

"Mr. Bai!" Wang Jianqiang exclaimed in surprise, and quickly bowed.

The team members looked at him in confusion, then looked around, but couldn't see anything at all.

However, when they thought of the quicksand floating in the air, their expressions changed.

A clever fellow glanced at Wang Jianqiang's expression and followed suit, facing the direction of the stone gate and bowing.

The others also realized what he meant and started doing the same thing.

If it weren't for the shifty look in those people's eyes, Bai Lin would have almost thought that his [Concealment and Hidden Form] had failed.

He simply revealed himself.

Although the team members were bowing, they were all feeling very uneasy.

They were unaware of Bai Lin's existence, nor were they aware that the Dragon-Seeking Team was actually serving the White Dragon.

The group watched Wang Jianqiang closely, wanting to see how their captain would react, when suddenly they felt a faint flash of light in front of the stone gate.

A white dragon appeared in their field of vision!

Faced with the ferocious dragon head, the group was so shocked that they almost knelt on the ground.

"Leave this place to me, and you all return immediately," Bai Lin said. "Do not approach this area for the next few days!"

When his younger brother called him over last time and he saw the magic ring, he realized that this place was unusual, so he left a trace of his divine consciousness on the Dragon-Seeking Plate.

Therefore, when the dragon-seeking compass emitted fluctuations of dragon energy, he used his supernatural powers to quickly arrive at the location.

The presence of dragon energy in this place was somewhat unexpected.

He originally thought this was a cultivator's cave or tomb, since there was no trace of dragon energy fluctuation on that ring.

Looking at the stone gate before him, Bai Lin felt a strong sense of anticipation.

While the team members were still in shock that Bai Long could speak, they suddenly felt dizzy.

When the light reappeared before them, they found themselves on the ground.

"It turned out to be..."

Just as one of the team members was about to exclaim in surprise, Wang Jianqiang interrupted him sternly: "Keep it a secret!"

He looked around and shouted, "Everyone, retreat immediately!"

Thinking about this discovery, Wang Jianqiang turned his head, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile.

He was very excited to have such a success on his first attempt at training.

The nation's reward is secondary; gaining Bai Long's favor and even his regard represents a much brighter future.

Bai Long told them to retreat immediately. Could it be that there is something extraordinary here?

……

During their emergency evacuation, Bai Lin, who was in the enclosed underground space, also left.

He examined the stone gate carefully and recognized its origin.

That's not a lifeline, but a fatal weakness!

Because of the Dragon Transformation Sect's glorious history of robbing dragon tombs, the sect has many books related to tombs, which Bai Lin had consulted in his spare time.

The style of Shimen is very similar to that of an ancient tomb recorded in ancient books.

Based on the faint dragon energy emanating from the stone gate, a guess flashed through Bai Lin's mind.

Could this be a dragon's tomb?

This made his desire even more intense.

Not to mention on Earth, even in Xuzhou, the appearance of every "wild" dragon tomb can attract a frenzy of competition from various forces.

Dragons are treasures from head to toe, and their value remains immense even after death, not to mention their special significance to the Dragon Transformation Sect.

Considering the potential dangers within the Dragon Tomb, Bai Lin instructed Wang Jianqiang and the others to leave as soon as possible and not to approach it.

He also returned to Duck Head Mountain, intending to prepare himself to personally descend upon the place and thoroughly investigate.

……

Chapter 175 Senior of the Dragon Transformation Sect!

Half a day later.

The ruins, located in northern Cambodia and riddled with deep pits, are now deserted.

Even birds and beasts seemed to sense the peculiar aura permeating the air and fled from the place, leaving only some lonely plants swaying in the wind.

This place is located in the tropical monsoon climate zone. After only two days of sunshine, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky again.

As the clouds grew thicker and thicker, the first raindrop finally broke free and fell to the ground, and Bai Lin returned.

As his figure appeared amidst a wisp of mist, the air seemed to freeze, with raindrops that had already fallen to mid-air coming to a standstill and hovering in mid-air.

Bai Lin's divine sense spread out slightly and instantly locked onto the stone door. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

The soil on the ground churned up, and in the blink of an eye, it filled in several pits.

At the stone gate.

The sand that had been filled and buried after Bai Lin left was pushed open again to reveal a space the size of a football field, from which Bai Lin emerged.

He carefully observed the stone gate in front of him, looking at the winding and twisting carvings on it, and finally his gaze settled on the four corners of the stone gate.

There are a few very faint runes there.

There is a very inconspicuous crack in the rune in the upper right corner.

If Bai Lin hadn't noticed that the dragon energy was emanating from there, he wouldn't have been able to identify it with the naked eye.

Its appearance within such a stone door is clearly unusual.

Bai Lin was able to guess the reason for the crack's appearance.

He guessed that it was most likely the owner of that ring magic item who did it, and there was a high probability that the other party sabotaged it from the inside.

Bai Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for that guy's internal sabotage, this tomb would almost never have been discovered, let alone leaked dragon energy.

More importantly, this also provided him with a passage to the tomb.

Otherwise, trying to break through this stone door through him would not only be difficult, but the impact of breaking through it would be immeasurable.

After all, he had no knowledge of tomb raiding and could only rely on violence to destroy the stone gate.

This made Bai Lin curious about the guy's identity, wondering if he might be a fellow disciple who had tried to rob a tomb but ended up trapped inside.

Or perhaps he was simply a sacrificial offering, hiding inside by using the method of feigning death.

Bai Lin shook his head inwardly, dismissing the chaotic guesses in his mind.
