The situation had taken a turn for the worse. The two opposing parties had become allies, but neither of them had good intentions. They were just using each other.
With the addition of the tomb robbers, Tang Zheng and Wu Qi moved faster. They were no longer running around like headless flies. Wu Laoer explained the current situation to the two of them. It was unknown whether he was being kind or not.
In the circle of robbers, this ancient tomb was no longer a secret. Of course, ordinary thieves did not know about it, but those with a little power knew about it.
Therefore, for the sake of the wealth, many powers gathered in the Qinling Mountains. In order to monopolize the wealth, the killing had already begun. A few weaker groups of tomb robbers had already been eliminated.
The big fish ate the small fish, and the small fish ate the shrimps.
The law of the jungle played out incisively and vividly here.
Wu Lao Er's group was relatively lucky. Last time, they only entered the periphery of the ancient tomb and found a few scattered spoils of war. However, from these spoils of war, they could already determine how much wealth the true core of the ancient tomb contained.
Men died for wealth, and birds died for food.
This group of desperadoes did not hesitate to take risks for the sake of this treasure. As long as they succeeded, they could live a carefree life for the rest of their lives.
After this deal, they would not have to worry about their lower body. Not many people could resist this kind of temptation.
Professor Qi's eyebrows danced as he listened. If there was really such a huge ancient tomb, then the research value would be huge. Perhaps he could really get what he wanted and discover something shocking that could overturn history.
Wu Lao Er was very excited. He said, "Professor Qi, you have been doing research for so many years, but you haven't done any robbers, right?"
"Humph, we studied ancient tombs for work. Unlike you," Professor Qi said disdainfully.
"Isn't it the same now? Whether it's work or robbers, it's all for money. Money is the number one driving force. "Wu Lao Er laughed.
Unknowingly, the group had already arrived in the depths of the Qinling Mountains. There were no signs of human habitation around. Occasionally, there would be wild beasts, but this group of people had guns and ammunition. Ordinary wild beasts could not do anything to them.
Professor Qi looked around and asked curiously, "What is that ancient tomb like?"
Wu Lao Er's expression became serious when he mentioned the ancient tomb. He said, "I've been robbing for most of my life, but I've never seen such an ancient tomb."
"Oh? What is it like? "Professor Qi asked.
Wu Laoer closed his eyes as if he was reminiscing. After a while, he said, "I didn't see the whole picture of the ancient tomb. Just the tip of the iceberg shocked me. It was unheard of and unseen. It was a miracle in human history."
After hearing this, Professor Qi and Tang Zheng looked at each other with joy in their eyes. It was the right decision to come here.
Professor Qi impatiently urged, "Can you describe it in detail?"
Wu Laoer smiled bitterly. "I can't find the right words. Words can't describe or express it."
Professor Qi and Tang Zheng were more convinced when they saw that the other party was serious and did not seem to be lying. They looked forward to seeing the true appearance of the ancient tomb.
"Was this tomb recently discovered?" Professor Qi asked. He knew that many ancient tombs had been discovered by grave robbers a long time ago. However, due to the conditions at that time, they couldn't enter the ancient tombs. They had to wait for the right time to enter the ancient tombs.
Therefore, Professor Qi wanted to know the ins and outs of this ancient tomb.
"Of course it's newly discovered. In fact, it's a coincidence. In the past, this area was trampled flat by our brothers. Many ancient tombs, big and small, were found, but no one has ever found such a large ancient tomb."
Seeing Wu Laoer's excited expression, Professor Qi quickly asked, "How did you find it this time?"
"Oh, someone accidentally found a treasure, so they opened this ancient tomb," Wu Laoer said mysteriously.
"What treasure?"
"I don't know the details. Anyway, when that group of people was fighting in Diannan, they accidentally found a natural phenomenon. A ray of light crossed the sky, and then they followed it and found a treasure. This ancient tomb was drawn out by that treasure." Wu Laoer sighed.
"Why didn't I have such good luck? If I had discovered this kind of secret, I definitely wouldn't have leaked the news. That group of people didn't have a tight mouth and leaked the news, so everyone naturally swarmed over. Everyone wanted to take a bite and share a piece of the pie. "
Professor Qi glanced at Tang Zheng, the two of them had a strange look on their faces, the matter of southern Yunnan and the natural phenomenon caused them to have endless imagination.
There were too many secrets and miracles hidden in southern Yunnan, could it be that the treasure that the group of grave robbers found came from the Hundred Thousand Mountains?
Tang Zheng had once heard from the Heaven Monk that back then in the Ten Thousand Huge Mountains, after he fainted, the Hundred Transformations Star Lord broke through the restrictions of the Buzhou Mountain, and the restrictions of the Prehistoric Heavenly Tomb also collapsed. Countless magic treasure s and even living beings turned into rays of light that filled the sky and rushed in all directions, disappearing without a trace.
Could it be … The treasure that the grave robber found was one of them?
He felt more and more that this was a possibility. This group of grave robbers was really lucky. He just didn't know what the treasure was, but it actually led to this ancient tomb.
Immediately, Tang Zheng became more and more expectant. Everything that was related to the Hundred Thousand Mountains was not simple. He had come here by chance, so of course he had to investigate it.
After climbing over the mountains, they walked further and further away. Finally, they arrived at the foot of a towering mountain and stopped.
Tang Zheng raised his head and looked around. This mountain peak was thousands of meters above sea level, and was obviously taller than the other mountains. Moreover, this was the eastern section of the Qinling Mountains, and if one looked from the mountain peak, they could overlook the vast North China Plain.
"Have we arrived?" Professor Qi asked.
Second Brother Wu nodded solemnly and ordered his subordinates to start preparing. They brought a lot of equipment, big and small bags, and Tang Zheng saw that there were explosives among them.
Obviously, if they encountered any obstacles, they were prepared to explode violently. They were simply insane.
After tidying up his equipment, Second Brother Wu gave the order and set off again. This time, he clearly saw traces of people walking past. There were many broken thorny branches on both sides.
Second Brother Wu looked around and said coldly, "Someone beat us to it."
"What are you afraid of? The ancient tomb is so big, and there are so many obstacles. It's useless even if you beat us to it." The others said indifferently.
Second Brother Wu nodded and did not forget to remind them, "There are so many dangers in there. Keep your eyes open. Be alert. Let's eat and drink well."
The crowd was in high spirits, and they rushed to the foot of the mountain.
Looking at this group of greedy people, Tang Zheng's eyes flashed with a cold light. You are happy now, but you will cry later.
Although Tang Zheng was a newcomer in the archaeology field, after all, he was also a person who walked in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, a forbidden area for archaeologists and even tomb robbers. He knew that this kind of large ancient tomb seemed to be attractive, but in fact, it was full of dangers. If he was not careful, he would lose his life here.
Professor Qi and Tang Zheng were escorted in the middle of the team. Wu Laosan took the lead and removed the disguise of a pile of thorny branches. A hole appeared in front of them.
The hole was not big, and it was only big enough for one person to pass through. It was like a crack formed by a crack in the mountain. It was so dark that they could not see where it led to.
A gust of cold air floated out of the hole. Even if it was a hot summer day, it still made people feel a biting cold.
"Go in, pay attention to the surrounding environment." Second Brother Wu ordered seriously.
When Professor Qi walked past him, he grabbed his arm and warned him coldly, "Professor Qi, when you go in, you are only one step away from the King of Hell's palace. Don't play tricks, or you will really have to report to the King of Hell's palace."
Professor Qi did not say anything. He shook off his hand and entered the hole with Tang Zheng.
The tomb robber's wolf eye flashlight illuminated the inside of the cave. There were no obvious traces of excavation on the mountain wall. Instead, it seemed to be torn apart by a huge force to form this cave.
Torn apart!
Tang Zheng felt a chill in his heart. How much power did this require? This was a whole mountain. How could it be torn apart?
He could not figure out the reason for this at the moment. He just thought that he was thinking too much.
Although the cave was cold, it was well ventilated. There was no difficulty in breathing.
The surroundings were dead silent. Only the sound of messy footsteps could be heard. In such a claustrophobic environment, if one's nerves were not strong enough, they would be scared silly.
Fortunately, this group of people were not ordinary people. Other than Tang Zheng, it was not the first time that the others entered the ancient tomb. They were familiar with it and moved forward carefully.
The road ahead seemed to have no end. They did not know how long they had walked, but they still did not stop.
Tang Zheng muttered in his heart, he had already walked for more than a thousand meters, he should have already reached the middle of the mountain. The cave was winding upwards bit by bit, not towards the ground. Could it be that the ancient tomb was in the middle of the mountain?
Suddenly, a ray of light in front of them attracted Tang Zheng. He quickly looked up and his vision gradually widened.
"We're here!" Someone in the crowd cheered in a low voice.
Everyone was excited and quickened their pace. In the blink of an eye, they had reached the end of the cave. However, there was a sudden scream in front of them. Then, screams filled the cave.
"Run!"
"Run!"
The person in front pushed back fiercely. This group of people was immediately pushed back. Some people were even trampled under their feet. There was no time to suddenly change direction. It would only cause a serious trample.
Tang Zheng's eyes trembled. He quickly pulled Professor Qi and protected him behind him. He pushed his palm forward and pressed it against the back of the person in front of him, preventing him from retreating.
"What are you doing? You're not allowed to retreat! Get the hell back! "
Wu Laoer brought up the rear and walked at the back of the group. When he saw the strange movement in front of him, he hurriedly scolded loudly. His voice finally made people relax slightly.
However, panic still lingered in their hearts. They had been here the last time and did not encounter any danger. How could there be danger this time?
What danger was it?
"A brother died!" A loud shout came from the front.
