Chapter 962: Great Danger at Every Turn

"Tiedan, hold on, Tiedan." Zhou Yu held Tiedan and roared hoarsely.

Tiedan's lower body had already been corroded until only white bones remained; he gripped Zhou Yu tightly: "Take care of... my mother."

After saying these words, Tiedan's hand loosened, and he lost consciousness.

Chen Yu sighed; the place just now was the "Demon Eye," and the black water inside came from the Yellow Springs Hell; everything that touches it rots instantly, and the yin-filth aura emanating from this swamp came from the Yellow Springs.

Even though he possessed medical skills, Tiedan's injuries were too severe, and he had no way to save this life.

Zhang Yang was still fleeing; a flash of killing intent flickered in Chen Yu's eyes, his figure flashed, he moved rapidly forward, and then slapped Zhang Yang flying with one palm.

Thump... Zhang Yang was thrown heavily into a mud pit; the teeth on half of his face were slapped out, and it was clear he was beyond saving.

Chen Yu dragged him back and said: "The dead cannot return to life; take him back and bury him."

Zhou Yu's eyes were bloodshot; he wiped away his tears and carefully picked up Tiedan's partial remains, walking back.

The man who originally weighed nearly two hundred catties now had a body that was one-third lighter.

After returning, seeing Tiedan's remains, which only consisted of the upper body, everyone was shocked.

Ermao grabbed the gun butt in his hand and struck Zhang Yang indiscriminately; Zhang Yang screamed and dodged incessantly.

"Stop hitting him, stop hitting him, if you keep hitting him he'll die, he has human rights too." Zhang Yan's "saintly" heart overflowed again.

"Shut up, if you hadn't asked me to unlock this bastard's shackles when we set out, how could he have escaped?" Ermao's eyes were red: "If he hadn't escaped, how could Tiedan have died?"

"It's your own incompetence, you're blaming me?" Zhang Yan said angrily: "Isn't it just one person dead? He..."

Chen Yu could no longer endure it; he suddenly slapped her across the face; *slap*, Zhang Yan shrieked.

She was about to burst into a torrent of abuse, but Chen Yu beckoned with his right hand, and Lichen suddenly appeared, the murderous sword floating in the void at her throat.

Zhang Yan was scared out of her wits; she screamed: "Murder, help, murder!"

"Shut up." Chen Yu said coldly: "Professor Yang, let this woman go back by herself; I don't want to see her again."

"You, what right do you have to make me go back?" Although Zhang Yan was trembling with fear, she was still unconvinced.

"I don't know what reason caused your 'saintly' heart to overflow, but remember this: the person who died before your eyes was a soldier, a person who was protecting you; to some extent, he died because of you; now kneel and kowtow to him." Chen Yu barked.

"I, I..." Zhang Yan stammered, looking at Professor Yang as if seeking help.

"Zhang Yan, you should go back; I've had enough of you on this journey too." Professor Yang's expression was also not very good.

From the very beginning, Zhang Yan had shown an overly overflowing "saintly" heart toward this murderer and had a terrible attitude toward Zhou Yu and the others; Professor Yang did not understand why this was.

"Professor Yang..." Zhang Yan panicked.

"Speak, who are you?" Chen Yu said coldly: "What is your relationship with Zhang Yang, and are you and he in league together?"

"I have no relationship with him, I just can't stand you treating him like that, he's a human too, I..."

Before Zhang Yan could finish, she screamed involuntarily because the Lichen in Chen Yu's hand had cut her face.

"He looks like my ex-boyfriend, that's why I didn't want to see you treat him like that; I have no relationship with him, really, no relationship." Zhang Yan cried out.

"That's the reason? That led you to have such a terrible attitude toward your own people?" Chen Yu looked as if he had seen a freak: "Fine, you don't need their protection, and we don't need you; now kowtow to this dead person, and then get lost."

Zhang Yan knelt down, trembling, kowtowed respectfully to Tiedan's corpse, and then burst into uncontrollable tears.

Zhou Yu said nothing and covered Tiedan's corpse; they still had to continue their mission.

"How much further?" Chen Yu stared at Zhang Yang on the side.

Zhang Yang's face was full of blood from Chen Yu's slap; he stammered: "Almost there, I promise, we'll arrive tomorrow."

"Unfortunately, I can't wait." Chen Yu grabbed with his right hand and forcibly pulled out this guy's soul.

The visible translucent body was pulled out of Zhang Yang's body by Chen Yu; Chen Yu closed his eyes, his powerful Divine Sense searching through his consciousness.

A moment later, the destination was clear in his mind; Chen Yu threw Zhang Yang to the ground.

*Thump*, Zhang Yang fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, dead as could be; furthermore, his soul had suffered a destructive erasure, leaving him without even the chance to be a human being.

Zhang Yan screamed, threw herself beside Zhang Yang, and wept bitterly.

Chen Yu looked at this woman with disgust; he didn't know how a woman with such a mental illness had managed to get into a scientific research team, as if the person who died was truly her ex-boyfriend.

"Zhou Yu, everyone continue forward; leave her some supplies, let her stay here and wait for us to return; if she really doesn't want to wait, let her leave on her own." Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Zhang Yan, get up; if you don't want to stay here, then pull yourself together; look clearly, he is not your ex-boyfriend, and besides, that scum of an ex-boyfriend abandoned you, what is there to be sad about?" Zhou Jie couldn't watch anymore; she said in a deep voice: "Look at this place, it's full of danger; if you don't follow us, you will die."

Zhang Yan forced herself to pull it together; although she felt a bit like a lunatic, she still knew that she wouldn't survive if she stayed here alone.

And in the following journey, her words became much fewer, and she never dared to confront Chen Yu to his face again.

After half a day's journey, they finally arrived in front of a grave robber's hole; this hole had been opened by Zhang Yang's group of grave robbers, and by this time, the sky had already darkened.

"This is it." Chen Yu said: "We have two choices now: first, stay here for the night and go in the next day; second, go in now, because I'm not sure if there's any danger staying here at night."

"Go in now, Little Chen, I can't wait." Professor Yang was a true workaholic for scientific research; throughout this journey, he had been pondering the issue of new energy reform, so he couldn't wait even for a moment.

"Alright then, we'll go in now; everyone check your equipment." Chen Yu said.

Zhang Yan squatted on the ground, saying nothing, looking completely dejected.

"Zhang Yan, you don't have to go; resign from the research institute after you go back." Professor Yang looked at her state and was truly too angry to bear it.

Zhang Yan's personal ability was mediocre, and it wasn't to the point where they couldn't do without her; besides, the research institute couldn't have people who were "saintly" green teas.

"Si Chen, why don't you wait outside? The things inside might be of the same origin as the Ancestral Ghost in your consciousness." Chen Yu said.

"No, I want to go in; precisely because they are of the same origin, I must find out what they really are." Yu Sichen shook her head, her expression firm.
