Under Second Brother Wu's rage, the commotion in front finally calmed down a little.
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind above his head. Tang Zheng subconsciously looked up and saw that Old Wu was actually climbing over everyone's heads with his two limbs. His speed was extremely fast.
When Second Brother Wu climbed to the front, the front was completely quiet. Only a few muffled bangs could be heard, and Second Brother Wu's voice was heard. "All of you, come over here."
Everyone rustled out of the cave, and their eyes lit up. The few corpses on the ground were very eye-catching. They were all stabbed with arrows, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Everyone's expression was a little unsightly. Dying before the start of the expedition was not a good sign.
"Damn it, we didn't see the mechanism last time we came. Why is there a mechanism this time?" Second Brother Wu fiercely spat and cursed.
Everyone else was silent. How could they know the reason?
The people walking in front could not help but recall the scene they had just seen. One arrow after another shot out from the holes in the opposite wall. It was impossible for flesh and blood to block it.
Tang Zheng also clicked his tongue in wonder. The ancient people's mechanism had been baptized for so long, but it could still be triggered.
He also subconsciously looked at the opposite side. Suddenly, his mind was greatly shaken. His pupils were filled with a huge object. Immediately, he was dumbfounded and his jaw almost fell to the ground.
Professor Qi's reaction was even stronger than his. He directly screamed and rushed over without caring about his own safety.
The others were attracted by the reactions of these two people. The crowd sneered, but they did not remember that their reactions were almost the same when they first saw this scene.
Why was there such a big reaction?
It was because they saw the true appearance of the ancient tomb.
Looking up, the ancient tomb made of blue bricks could not be seen at a glance. It was as if it towered into the clouds. The top of the tomb could not be seen clearly.
Moreover, as far as the eye could see, there was no end to it. This ancient tomb seemed to be boundless, as vast as the sea and as majestic as the mountains.
How could there be such a strange ancient tomb in the mountains of Qinling?
How did the people in the past build it?
Question marks came one after another, drilling into Tang Zheng's mind one after another, making him unable to find an answer.
Professor Qi was already lying on top of the ancient tomb. He wished he could grow a thousand pairs of hands and touch every inch of the ancient tomb. The blue bricks seemed to make his heart beat faster than a woman's skin.
The grave robber sneered at Professor Qi and said, "Professors are indeed stupid. It's not worth anything. What's there to touch? It's not like it's a woman."
Second Brother Wu's face was livid. He pulled Professor Qi aside and said, "What are you talking about? Hurry up and find a way to enter the tomb."
In fact, this was only the periphery of the tomb. One had to break through the bricks to truly enter the tomb.
Professor Qi slowly came back to his senses. His eyes became serious and dignified as he asked, "Where did you steal the bronze mask from?"
Bronze Mask?
Wu Laoer was stunned for a moment before he sneered and said, "So it was because of this that you were lured all the way here from the capital."
After pausing for a moment, Second Brother Wu pointed at the surrounding walls and said, "Look, it's the pit on the wall. Do you see it? The mask is embedded in it. I was almost scared to death at first glance. "
Tang Zheng and Professor Qi followed his finger and looked over. Sure enough, there were many pits on the surrounding walls. The size of the pits matched the bronze mask.
Tang Zheng's face sank and asked, "There are so many pits. There must be a lot of bronze masks. Where are the others?"
Second Brother Wu spread out his hands and said, "How would I know? They must have been sold. There were a lot of people who came in. Although they didn't enter the tomb, they looted all the good things here."
"What a sin!" Professor Qi cried out loudly. He wanted to hit the ground with his head. The grave robber's behavior was heartbreaking. If they didn't destroy the bronze masks, they would definitely be able to research a lot of new things.
Tang Zheng felt a little regretful. If there were so many masks, he could absorb more spiritual energy to increase his cultivation.
Second Brother Wu's face turned red and he said angrily, "Professor Qi, don't blame me for being rude if you continue to be noisy."
Professor Qi snorted and glared fiercely at Wu Laoer. It was as if he was looking at a mortal enemy.
Second Brother Wu pretended not to see and said, "Think of a way to enter the tomb."
"What about the tomb door?" Professor Qi asked.
Second Brother Wu shook his head, "It's useless. The tomb door is a ten thousand pound boulder. I've never seen such a huge boulder. It's impossible to push it open with human strength."
Professor Qi curled his lips and said disdainfully, "How did the ancients succeed? Humph, it's not that human strength can't do it. It's just that some people are too stupid. "
Second Brother Wu was insulted and glared angrily. However, he forced himself not to flare up. He still had to rely on Professor Qi.
Tang Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Sometimes, Professor Qi was stubborn to the point of being cute. Facing this group of fiendish grave robbers, he was like a warrior.
"Lead the way to the tomb door." Professor Qi said unquestionably. Second Brother Wu was helpless and could only lead the two of them along the tomb for a long distance before finally arriving at the tomb door.
The tomb door was about ten meters tall, and it was really a solid stone door. It was unknown how the ancient people built such a giant, but compared to this miraculous ancient tomb, this tomb door was nothing.
Second Brother Wu looked up at the tomb door and smacked his lips, "We can't enter from here. We brought enough gunpowder so we can definitely blow open the tomb."
"Scram to the side!" Professor Qi's temper flared up. He completely ignored the other party and began to fumble around the tomb door.
Second Brother Wu was about to explode. He gritted his teeth and said, "Professor Qi, I'll give you ten minutes. If you can't do anything, whether you agree or not, I can only blow it up."
Professor Qi snorted and didn't comment. He continued to work as he pleased.
When Tang Zheng saw this, he also went over and touched it. It was cold to the touch as if he was touching ice. This wasn't because of the special material of the bricks but because this place had accumulated too much yin qi over the years.
Seeing Professor Qi so serious and persistent, Tang Zheng didn't want to disturb him. Thus, Tang Zheng began to study the tomb door again. He placed his hands on it and silently circulated his energy.
Whoosh!
He took a deep breath and released his true qi, but the tomb door didn't move.
Huh?
Tang Zheng was secretly speechless. This really wasn't something that could be done by human strength.
Time passed minute by minute. The tomb robbers were like ants on a hot pan. They walked in circles and looked at Professor Qi with burning eyes.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud sound. The huge echo reverberated in the enclosed space. It was deafening and almost made people fall to the ground.
"What's wrong?" The tomb robbers shouted in panic. Professor Qi roared angrily, "Didn't I forbid you to use explosives?"
Second Brother Wu said with grievance, "It's not us!"
"Who else?"
Wu Lao Er shook his head and said, "We don't know how many people are still inside." His face became tense as he said this, "We don't know how many people have already entered. We can't wait any longer. We have to blast open a hole and rush in. Otherwise, if we are too late, not even dregs will be left.
The others agreed. They didn't pay attention to Professor Qi at all. They were busy preparing to set up the explosives.
Professor Qi was so angry that his face turned red. He almost stomped his feet, "A bunch of idiots, idiots!" His lips kept trembling, but his hands didn't stop moving.
Suddenly, his face turned cold. His hands stopped and he pushed the bricks one by one. It was as if he didn't have a pattern. He casually pushed a brick. After a while, his hands had pushed no less than ten bricks.
Tang Zheng was slightly surprised. He didn't find any clues. Could it be that Professor Qi found something?
Second Brother Wu also stared at Professor Qi. He saw Professor Qi press the last brick. Click, click, click. The sound of gears turning clearly came from the ancient tomb.
All the tomb robbers subconsciously stopped what they were doing.
Second Brother Wu's face was filled with ecstasy. He was so smart. It was so useful to bring Professor Qi along. He was much better than a tomb robber like himself.
Professor Qi turned his head and glanced at the tomb robbers with disdain, "What do you mean by human strength? What is this? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge tomb door actually rose bit by bit.
This was definitely a slap in the face. The tomb robbers' faces turned red. They couldn't refute it at all.
At this moment, Professor Qi was simply shining. He was the absolute focus of the crowd.
Tang Zheng took a deep breath. He couldn't help but silently praise Professor Qi. Even he couldn't find any clues, but Professor Qi found the pattern and easily broke through the tomb door.
This required a huge amount of knowledge and enough intelligence to do it. He couldn't help but admire Professor Qi for this.
The title of Professor Qi wasn't fishing for fame. He deserved it.
The tomb door slowly rose. Everyone was so excited that they couldn't control themselves. They rubbed their fists and wanted to rush in. Second Brother Wu hurriedly scolded, "Do you want to die? Have you forgotten the rules? "
Everyone was silent. They remembered their companions who had died tragically. This wasn't an ordinary ancient tomb. It was an ancient tomb filled with danger. They hurriedly retreated. A gust of cold wind swept out from the tomb door, causing their teeth to chatter.
"Such a strong Yin Qi!" Tang Zheng was secretly speechless. This was more serious than he had expected. If a place had too much Yin Qi, it was definitely not a good thing.
Back then, Ordinary Balance's ominous land had too much Yin Qi and evil spirits frequently appeared. This was originally an ancient tomb. Would there be those dirty things?
However, he was still bold. He thought to himself that even if there were those things, he could still deal with them. As for these grave robbers, humph, they had only themselves to blame for seeking their own deaths. He did not have the leisure to save them.
After a while, Second Brother Wu said, "Let's go. Be careful. There must be a lot of f * cking traps here. We have to be careful. Otherwise, no one will benefit."
The few of them walked through the tomb door one after another. With a loud bang, the tomb door fell. There was no way out.
