Chapter 382

After a long while.

Zhu Lao suddenly began to laugh.

That laughter grew louder and more unrestrained until everyone inside the Geological Research Bureau could hear it.

The students looked at Zhu Lao and happily began to laugh as well.

At this moment.

Xu Hua, the chief director of the Geological Research Bureau, heard that strange laughter and came to the door of Zhu Lao's research room.

Regarding this most eminent scholar who possessed immense authority and lofty status.

No one inside the Geological Research Bureau dared to be unrestrained toward him.

Not even Xu Hua himself dared.

Even last time when he had barged into the laboratory.

Zhu Lao had blasted him out, and the words spoken were as harsh as could be.

He had originally thought.

Zhu Lao would never laugh in this lifetime.

But at this moment.

Could it be that he had suffered a stroke from rage and gone mad into demonic possession?

With doubt.

Xu Hua trembled as he opened the laboratory door.

But he only saw.

Zhu Lao laughing wildly and unrestrainedly, with those students laughing along.

They were all staring intently at the whiteboard displaying the computer projection.

Seeing this scene, Xu Hua was instantly terrified out of his wits.

This must be some kind of ghost or monster summoned.

Then.

Xu Hua also looked at the screen, and at the same time his pupils suddenly contracted.

This scene.

Seemed to have been seen somewhere before.

At...

At......

Xu Hua searched his memory and found a photograph.

It was a view of Mangshan captured by a drone.

The scene above bore a slight resemblance to the present one.

Could it be...

Could it be!

Xu Hua strode forward and stood before Xiao Liuzi, asking in a harsh voice, "Is this not Mangshan!"

Xiao Liuzi was startled by him, then nodded vigorously.

Xu Hua was instantly utterly shocked and simultaneously stepped back two paces.

Mangshan.

The legendary Mountain of Death.

Now.

It had actually been breached by a young man!

Xu Hua immediately checked the information on the computer, wanting to see exactly who it was.

Was it an older-generation professional mountaineer, or a rising star of the new generation?

Neither!

It was a streamer!

His name was Brother Shiguang!

"What! A streamer actually climbed the Mountain of Death that no one had successfully ascended in a hundred years!"

"And he is an obscure nobody!"

"Brother Shiguang! Brother Shiguang! His name is Brother Shiguang!"

At the same time.

Ning Chen, from the backpack on his back.

Took out a camera.

Then, facing the Eye of Hell.

He pressed the shutter.

"Click!"

One photograph was taken.

Ning Chen.

Inside his mind.

A voice was sounding.

【Congratulations, Host!】

【Reward Obtained】

Ning Chen looked at the reward in his mind.

Light flickered.

Listening to the system's voice.

Ning Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Then he looked again at the scenery atop Mangshan.

For a moment.

Listening to the sound of the waterfall.

Ning Chen fell silent.

He walked around the peak with a blank expression.

That Eye of Hell seemed to possess sentience, staring tightly at him.

Ning Chen, without realizing it,

looked at that Eye of Hell.

She had said

that she wanted to see the Eye of Hell.

But now,

only one person could watch it here.

Ning Chen sat on the cliff edge, with the Eye of Hell beneath his feet.

He lowered his head to look.

His gaze was heavy.

It seemed.
