One person was missing.
Old Hei smiled awkwardly and didn't reply. He waited for all his subordinates to arrive before walking into the tomb. Outside the room was a long corridor that connected the left and right sides. Old Hei took the left path.
Lin Yi didn't know much about the situation in the tomb, and the couple's work log didn't mention much about it. Bojia, on the other hand, had given some guesses about the traps in the tomb, but he'd neglected the simple safety zones when they first entered the tomb.
As a result, Lin Yi didn't say much as he followed Old Hei and the others into the dark tomb. Old Hei had a searchlight, but the tomb didn't have any sunlight at all, and it still looked eerie and scary.
It was fine at first, but after walking for a few dozen meters, waves of cold air hit them in the face. There was an indescribable moldy and rotten smell that made their hair stand on end.
Fortunately, the ground of the tomb was relatively flat and there were no obstacles. This allowed these people to walk at a very fast pace.
After walking for a long time, there was a faint "click" sound. Then, everything turned dark!
All of them were expert grave robbers. Naturally, they did not believe in demons or ghosts. However, the sudden darkness caused them to stop in their tracks!
"Damn, the searchlight ran out of battery? Did it just charge yesterday? "Old Hei cursed at the front of the team." Who charged it yesterday? "
"Brother Hei … I just checked it and tested the remaining battery. There's no problem …" A big man said carefully.
"What the hell! Who has a torchlight? Give me one! " Hei Ge shook his head. The probability of the searchlight suddenly breaking down was less than 1%. He did not expect that this would be such a bad start. However, it was too late to go back and get a new searchlight. Moreover, they had only brought one searchlight this time!
This thing was huge, and it was connected to a large battery. It was quite inconvenient to carry around, so they only brought one when they entered the tomb.
Someone handed Old Hei a torchlight. However, the light from the torchlight was especially weak in the dark tomb. The searchlight couldn't even reach the end, let alone the light from the torchlight.
However, it was better than nothing. Although he couldn't see it clearly, he could make do with it!
"Those at the back, hold each other's hands. Don't fall behind!" Old Hei shouted to the people behind him before turning to another man, "Mister Qiu, please cover the back and scatter some lime powder along the way. Don't get lost!"
"Yes, Black Bro!" Mister Qiu nodded and ran to the back of the group.
Lin Yi looked at this Mister Qiu. He was a golden class early phase peak! Who would've thought that Old Hei would have someone like that by his side!
After giving the order, Blackie continued walking with the flashlight. After walking for a few hundred meters, he still couldn't see the end. Lin Yi frowned, but seeing that no one said anything, he didn't say anything either.
After another few hundred meters, Old Hei suddenly stopped in his tracks, and the whole team came to a halt!
"No! We're going the wrong way! " Lao Hei suddenly exclaimed and turned around. A trace of uneasiness flashed across his eyes. "Something's wrong. Last time, we only walked for about ten minutes to reach the entrance of the underground palace. This time, we walked for about half an hour. There's still a path ahead!"
"No way? How could this be? "James exclaimed," How did you lead the way? "
"Fuck, I knew something wasn't right! Why are we taking so long? My legs are going to go numb! "Keng Bro also complained.
"Stop arguing, Old Hei, what's going on?" Old Hao spoke up, interrupting them. He was the only one who hadn't been to the tomb before, so naturally he didn't feel anything wrong.
"Old Hao, I think we're going the wrong way- this path seems endless, we need to go back!" Old Hei said.
"What us? You're the one who went the wrong way! "Keng Bro complained.
"Alright, now's not the time to push the blame away. Old Hei didn't mean it, let's go back and talk!" Old Hao was an experienced man, after all. He wasn't too nervous right now.
"That's the only way! Mister Qiu, lead the way back along the limestone line, we're going back! "Old Hei said to Mister Qiu.
But no one answered.
"Mister Qiu? Did you hear me? "Old Hei called again.
Still no answer.
"Mister Qiu?" Old Hei's face finally changed as he called again.
"Ahhh!!" Just then, a scream came from the back of the team!
Old Hei subconsciously ran to the back of the group. The others also turned their gazes to the back of the group. At the back of the group, one of the subordinates was holding a broken arm, screaming in horror!
There was also a bloody shirt on the severed arm- it was Mister Qiu's!
"Mister Qiu!" Old Hei looked at the severed arm in shock, speechless! After a while, he roared, "Where's Mister Qiu? Why is there only half an arm left? "
"I … I don't know …" The man holding the arm was pale as well, "You called for Mister Qiu before, and I didn't hear a reply, so I turned around to look, but I didn't see anything, and I didn't touch anything. All I have left is half an arm …"
The team was already a little restless because they'd gone the wrong way, and now that something like this had happened, it was even more shocking!
Old Hei's face was very unsightly. If he didn't know how strong Mister Qiu was, he would've suspected that it was this man's doing! But Mister Qiu was a golden class early phase peak. What kind of master was he to be able to kill him without making a sound?
"Who did it? Who did it? " Old Hei was a little agitated- Mister Qiu was his biggest support, and now he'd been killed without a sound! Plus, was there anyone in the team who could do this?
