NFBE Chapter 100 Entering the Tomb
Chapter 100 Entering the Tomb
"Okay." Wang Xiaohu didn't feel tired at all. He just wanted to dig out the so-called treasure as soon as possible and leave this damn place.
When we dug the last one, it was already noon, but we still found nothing.
"Maybe it's because we didn't dig deep enough?" Han Li was also panting. Wang Xiaohu was digging too fast and they couldn't move the soil.
"We can't rule out this possibility. Let's dig the last one first." Old man Guo's physical fitness is pretty good. He came down to take turns several times, fearing that Wang Xiaohu would be tired, although he didn't actually help much.
But his attitude has improved a lot. Wang Xiaohu comes up to smoke a cigarette whenever he has nothing to do, and five cigarettes a day is his limit.
When~
Wang Xiaohu was about to give up when suddenly a crisp voice was heard.
This sound was like the sound of nature, attracting everyone.
"Shipment?" Old man Guo has now become a money-grubber. Wang Xiaohu also chatted with him for a while this morning and had a general idea of his thoughts, so he helped to dig. If it was for any other reason, he really wouldn't have stepped into the pit.
"I don't know. I'll try to find out."
Wang Xiaohu's next move was to use much less force, so as not to break anything useful.
An hour later, a stone slab appeared in front of everyone.
"We found it! That's great." Old Man Guo shouted excitedly.
"Don't be happy too soon. It looks like this door has been opened by someone." Wang Xiaohu pushed hard and easily lifted the stone slab. What came into view was a row of stone stairs covered with a mess of dust. It was obvious that someone had entered.
Guo Shucheng's heart sank. He was really late.
"Never mind, let's go in and take a look first." After saying that, he lit a torch and threw it inside. After waiting for a while and seeing that it did not go out, everyone took their equipment and went in.
As a bodyguard, Wang Xiaohu is different from the others. He walks at the back, constantly playing with the flying knives in his hand, so that he can react if anything happens. As long as rows of arrows are not shot at once, he can basically handle it.
"Ah!" Han Li suddenly bent her foot and screamed in pain.
Wang Xiaohu's flashlight had already shone over there and locked onto the energy, but when he saw there was nothing, he retracted it.
"Is it a gem?" Han Li took out a stone from under her feet. Under the flashlight, the stone emitted a bright blue light.
"It has been confirmed that it has been stolen." Old man Guo no longer holds out hope. He only hopes that there is a lot of gold and the other party cannot move it away. Just leave a few tons for him. He is not greedy.
Continuing to walk inside, the view suddenly opened up and I saw a large space with ladders all around, and the ladders were filled with boxes.
There is also a large shelf in the middle, which shows that this is a treasure house, not a cemetery.
"According to my speculation, this should be the treasure hiding place of that corrupt official. Now it seems to be true. The treasures scattered around alone are worth a lot of money." Guo Shucheng led the archaeological team to collect various golden things scattered on the ground. It is better to have something than nothing.
"What a strange secret room. It has only one exit, but it's not stuffy. The temperature is just right and the air is fresh." Wang Xiaohu looked at the surrounding walls with a flashlight.
They were all very old stones. Old Man Guo also noticed Wang Xiaohu's abnormality and came over to ask, "Captain Wang, what did you find?"
"No, I'm just taking a look." Wang Xiaohu walked and knocked on the stone wall with a shovel. Suddenly, a dull echo came from the place where he had just knocked. Others would not be able to hear it, but Wang Xiaohu could.
He waved his hand to indicate silence, and Old Man Guo shouted, "Don't move, keep quiet!"
bang bang bang...
Da da……
This time the echo was clearer than last time.
"Is there someone over there? There were only two sounds, and it didn't sound like an echo." Old Man Guo became excited. "I checked the information and found out there are three treasure houses. Could that be the second one? Is the third one also nearby?"
"Let's go and take a look and we'll know." Wang Xiaohu started knocking around, then took three steps back, made a sprint jump, and slapped a stone three meters high hard.
Creak, creak, creak... a stone door appeared on the wall.
"Great, really great. You are the best locksmith I have ever seen. How could you find this?" Mr. Guo had to admit defeat. Who could have thought of how to open this stone door?
"I'll take the lead this time, and you guys follow." It was pitch black ahead, darker than the aisle just now, and water was dripping from time to time, which would easily make Han Li scream, and then the whole thing would be a mess.
"No problem, here's the torch."
"No, I only have one request: don't shout easily and stay calm and composed when encountering things." Wang Xiaohu sensed a fishy smell inside, maybe there were some small animals.
"Is there any danger in there?" Han Li felt something was wrong and stepped back behind everyone.
"Are you all scared? If you're scared, you can go ahead, but don't call yourself my apprentice in the future." Old Man Guo became unhappy when he heard that his apprentices were scared. How can he do archaeology if they are afraid of this and that?
"Teacher, look at what you said, we are worried about your safety."
"Yes, yes, teacher, your safety is the most important thing."
"If I die for archaeology in this life, I will die without regrets. If you want to leave now, just leave. I won't force you." After saying this, Old Man Guo followed him. Seeing this, the others had no choice but to follow him. If they didn't go now, they might be out of work when they returned. It was so difficult to find a job nowadays.
"Chop off the head, chop off the head..."
Bang~Dang~
As soon as he entered, Wang Xiaohu killed two half-meter-long snakes with a shovel with one hand, basically hitting them on the head to prevent them from coming back to life and biting people.
A shovel is similar to an axe, and it hits the target accurately.
Keep the throwing knife in your other hand at all times to prevent any accidents.
"Have we entered a den of snakes? How many snakes are there?" Han Li said tremblingly. At this time, she was in the middle of the crowd.
"Article 28." The man next to him said softly. He now also admired Wang Xiaohu. He couldn't do this.
The aisle spirals downwards, and Wang Xiaohu estimated that it descends about five meters. The design of this aisle is also very interesting, and the sound propagates very quickly, as if someone deliberately designed it this way in order to know if anyone has broken in.
Finally, we arrived down there and saw another stone door. There were constant knocking sounds coming from behind the stone door. In this pitch-dark tomb passage, there were actually knocking sounds.
Han Li shouted out immediately: "There must be zongzi, there are zongzi~"
Old man Guo slapped him and said, "Be quiet. What's the matter with zongzi or not? We are materialists. There must be someone behind. Maybe he fell in accidentally and is asking for help."
As soon as Old Man Guo finished speaking, the stone door had been opened by Wang Xiaohu. Under the light of the torch, two faces could be seen clearly.
"Xu Damao? Great, I knew you were not a good person. You actually dared to rob a tomb!" Wang Xiaohu laughed.
