Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The four of them continued walking out.
Along the way, terrifying worms or dumplings appeared a few times in front of them. However, when they saw the four of them coming, they seemed to be frightened and quickly fled.
In the beginning, Qin Ming was still tense and in a combat state.
Anya screamed in fear when she saw these things.
However, in the end, the two of them calmed down.
Anya was speechless. “Chu, are these things afraid of us?”
“Yes.”
“Heavens, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a terrifying thing that’s afraid of humans. Chu, you’re too amazing.”
Chu Luo tilted her head to look at Li Yan walking beside her and smiled without saying anything.
Although Qin Ming was a little surprised that Chu Luo had become so powerful, when he thought about how they had stayed in the tomb for so long and the two of them had even gone to the main tomb, he guessed that she had mastered even more powerful abilities.
He let down his guard a little and said to the two of them, “In the past few days when we went to the tomb, those people had used explosives to blow up a few times inside. The hole we came down from has been blocked.”
Anya was a little worried. “Then how are we going to get out?”
Li Yan asked him, “Where are the other holes?”
Qin Ming stopped. “I originally had a map of the tunnel on me, but I dropped it.”
After saying that, he took out a dagger and started drawing on the ground.
Qin Ming’s drawing skills were not bad. It was obvious at a glance.
He pointed at a spot that he had drawn. “We are here now. We came in from this tomb. Here… here… there are spots where the holes are. I wonder if these holes have collapsed.”
“Probably,” Li Yan said. “The holes were all dug from the sand by the lake. As long as there’s a tremor, the ground will collapse.”
“Then what should we do? Can’t we get out?” Anya subconsciously hugged Qin Ming’s arm.
Qin Ming only glanced at her and didn’t say anything.
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “Let’s go look for the main door of this tomb and get out from it.”
“Is there a main door to this tomb?”
“Definitely. We’re not in the imperial tomb but part of another royal tomb. There’s air where we are now, which proves that the main door can definitely reach the ground.”
After Chu Luo said that, everyone felt that it made sense.
Anya couldn’t help but sigh. “Chu, how do you know everything?”
Chu Luo smiled at her and said, “Previously, I flipped through all the books in the Archaeology Department and saw many notes written by tomb raiders. It introduced various tombs.”
“…” Anya: “Chu, I really suspect that you’re not human.”
It was rare for Chu Luo to be in the mood to joke. “No, I’m a little fairy.”
Chu Luo’s words made Qin Ming glance at her. Li Yan pulled her into his arms and deliberately asked her with a smile, “Little Fairy, then which path should we take now?”
Chu Luo blinked mischievously. After thinking for a while, she said, “Why don’t we catch a few worms and ask them?”
“What worm?” Anya hugged Qin Ming’s arm tightly.” Could it be the terrifying worm I was thinking of?”
Chu Luo glanced at her. “Other than those worms, do you think there are also very kind worms in the ancient tomb?”
Anya was speechless.
At this moment, Li Yan and Qin Ming raised their vigilance.
Li Yan said, “There’s a situation up ahead.”
After saying that, he held her hand and walked over.
Qin Ming also quickly walked over.
Anya hugged his arm tightly, obviously a little afraid.
Qin Ming thought for a while and grabbed her wrist to pull her away.
Anya looked at his large hand and couldn’t help but smile.
After the four of them walked for a while, Li Yan gestured for everyone to stop.
There was another turn here, and the screams of fighting could be heard from the other side.
Qin Ming let go of Anya’s hand and walked to the corner. After quietly sticking his head out to take a look, he turned around and said to them, “A group of people encountered dumplings. There’s more than one dumpling.”
Li Yan asked, “Who is it?”
“A group of foreigners.”
Hearing that they were foreigners, Anya subconsciously asked, “Is my brother inside?”
Chu Luo and Qin Ming immediately looked at Anya.
Anya quickly said, “I’m not concerned about him. I’ve decided I didn’t have this brother since he treated me that way last time. I just want to say that even if he is around, you don’t have to be polite.”
“No.”
Qin Ming asked Chu Luo, “Miss Chu, do you have a gun with you?”
He had come down with Anya earlier and used up all the bullets in the gun. Coupled with the pursuit of the worms, he had thrown away the empty gun to reduce the burden.
Chu Luo searched in the Heaven-and-Earth pouch and handed him a gun.
Qin Ming took the gun and asked Li Yan with a murderous and ruthless expression, “What should we do with these people?”
Li Yan’s expression was also cold. “Kill them.”
“Okay.”
After Qin Ming responded, he walked out of the corner and fired a few shots.
The moment Qin Ming fired, the people surrounded by the dumplings quickly shouted at him, “Hey, did you hit the wrong person? We’re humans. You should hit the dumplings!”
There were also people who wanted his help, so they deliberately tempted him. “Hey, let’s cooperate. As long as you kill these two dumplings, the treasures we find will be split equally with you.”
“Do these people think we care about those treasures?” When Anya heard this, she sneered heroically. “Does any one of us look like we’re short of money?”
Chu Luo glanced at her with bright eyes and turned to look at Li Yan.
Li Yan said, “Continue fighting. We’ll leave after that.”
Qin Ming nodded and stood up to shoot at them a few more times.
Cursing came from the other side. The four of them turned around and walked towards another aisle.
Soon, the curses and screams could no longer be heard.
No one knew where they went, but the lights disappeared along the corridor.
The surroundings were sinister and numbing.
“So dark.”
Just as Anya finished speaking, Chu Luo snapped her fingers and a few balls that resembled flames but weren’t flames lit up in front and behind them.
The corridor was dark and damp, and the paint on the wall had been corroded to the point that its original appearance couldn’t be seen.
There was also a layer of moss under their feet. When they stepped on it, it made crisp sounds.
It was like entering a horror movie.
Anya couldn’t stand it anymore. She leaned closer to Chu Luo and whispered, “Chu, it’s so quiet here. Aren’t you afraid?”
Chu Luo looked at her pale face and asked, “Do you think this atmosphere is very scary?”
“Of course. Don’t you think so?”
Chu Luo definitely didn’t think so, but seeing that Anya was so afraid, she thought for a while and said, “Alright, I’ll make some noise for you.”
“What do you want to do?”
Chu Luo smiled at her and snapped her fingers in the air. Then, music came from around them.
Moreover, it was music that sounded very hip.
“What…”
Anya was shocked and subconsciously rubbed against Qin Ming’s arm.
Seeing her reaction, Chu Luo asked, “Don’t you like this sound? Then I’ll change.”
With that, she snapped her fingers again.
Then, there was the sound of a university professor lecturing.
“Today, we’re talking about the combination and distribution of molecular structures.”
Anya: “…”
Anya stopped talking. Chu Luo let this voice ring beside them.
After walking for nearly ten minutes, they actually reached the end.
Only then did the professor’s lecture stop.
Li Yan said, “There should be a tomb door here.”
After saying that, he started searching with Qin Ming.
Anya moved to Chu Luo’s side and asked her, “Chu, are you really not afraid of the things in the tomb at all?”
“Why should I be afraid?”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, she saw Li Yan walking towards her and asked, “Yan, have you found the door?”
Li Yan pointed at the stone wall on their left. “It should be there.”
The four of them walked over together.
Chu Luo said, “Don’t be in a hurry to find the mechanism to open the door. Let me listen.”
After saying that, she leaned against the stone wall and listened for a while.
Then, she knocked her fingers on the stone wall twice.
After a while, she said to the three of them, “There’s a huge tomb behind us, but there’s a lot of activity in the tomb.”
“Then are we still going in?”
“Yes. Maybe this path leads to the exit.”
Chu Luo tilted her head to look at Li Yan.
Li Yan nodded at her and searched the stone wall for a while.
Chu Luo followed him and searched.
As Chu Luo searched, she said, “Such a stone door might have been sealed to begin with, or it can only be opened from inside.”
As Chu Luo had said, the door opened from inside. The two of them searched for a while but didn’t find anything.
Li Yan asked Chu Luo, “Can you get the dumplings inside to open the stone door?”
Chu Luo nodded. “I’ll try.”
After saying that, she took out the copper bell and chanted an incantation as she shook it.
After a while, she gestured to the three of them. “Stand against the stone wall.”
The three of them quickly stood against the stone wall.
Chu Luo also stuck to the stone wall. At the same time, the four of them turned invisible.
The stone door slowly opened.
The being who opened the door was indeed a dumpling, but this dumpling was a little special. It was a dumpling wearing a military uniform.
After the dumpling opened the door, it glanced into the corridor and didn’t see any living beings, so it turned around and jumped back.
Chu Luo gestured to the three of them. “Follow quickly, or the door will fall again.”
The four of them quickly followed.
Indeed, as soon as they entered, the stone door behind them fell.
When she saw the scene inside, Anya widened her eyes and covered her mouth in surprise.. “Heavens.”
