Chapter 521: Hasty Tomb
"Whoohoo-"
After chopping off the head of the last faceless female Buddha!
The gust of cold wind following the archaeological team finally died down... Qin An's expression relaxed.
Although the archaeological team members were somewhat confused, it seemed that the crisis had most likely been resolved.
"I'm so tired..." Yang Lele collapsed to the ground and breathed in the fresh air in big gulps.
Qin An did not stop him when he saw this.
The archaeological team just ran around the cave at the fastest speed for six or seven minutes. Given Yang Lele's fragile physique, it was indeed a bit difficult for her.
But Zhang Sitian doesn't care about that.
She pulled Yang Lele up from the ground and said, "Don't lie on the ground right after exercising. Put your hands on your knees and bend them slightly. Take three or five deep breaths and you will feel better."
Yang Lele tried it reluctantly.
I found that the effect is much better than lying on the ground!
"Brother Qin An...where are we going next? Those caves seem to be connected, and I don't see any other exits." Gu Yang stepped forward and said.
Although the mechanism of the cave ghost Buddha was cracked.
But the exit still did not appear.
We can't just stand there and watch, right?
Qin An took a sip of water and said calmly, "It will be fine in a while."
Hear this.
The rest of the archaeological team was also puzzled.
But in the end, I didn’t ask the reason. After all, just like Qin An said - it will be fine after a while.
About six or seven minutes passed.
Even Yang Lele has had a good rest.
Just when the archaeological team wanted to ask Qin An when he would go to the main tomb chamber, they heard a muffled "cluck cluck" sound coming from the base of the faceless female Buddha behind him.
Qin An stood up and said, "Let's go!"
He just finished speaking.
The stone statue of the faceless female Buddha suddenly fell to the ground like a giant pillar!
After three to five seconds.
Then a loud bang was heard from the pit!
Everyone was convinced by Qin An's predictable appearance. He was a real tomb-robbing master who could just leave at any time.
"Is there any rope left?"
Qin An looked at Gu Yang and Hawkeye.
Gu Yang quickly opened his backpack and took out a thin nylon rope from it and said, "There's one last one."
Qin An nodded.
The last one is the last one.
Anyway, we are almost at the end of the tomb of King Xing of Chu, and even if there are any extra ropes, they will probably be of no use.
The mechanism of this cave ghost Buddha is ostensibly to prevent tomb robbers.
But its real function is to condense the dragon energy underground and prevent it from dissipating, so the main tomb of King Chu Xing is most likely located under this tomb.
"Tie the rope and get ready to go! If we move fast enough, we can catch up with the Turtle and Phoenix Soup in Miaojiang." Qin An instructed the two men to tie the rope.
Then, as usual, he took Hu Jizhou with him to explore the way.
The two of them slid up and down the rope into the tomb chamber below.
The height of this tomb chamber was only about ten meters above. When Qin An had only 5 meters left in sliding, he let go and jumped down.
The moment of landing.
Qin An drew out the black gold ancient sword and looked around at the surrounding environment like an eagle... However, to Qin An's surprise, the environment below was much better than that of the tomb above!
There are several glowing stones arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper on the ground. Although these stones emit a faint yellow light, you can still see the surrounding situation clearly.
This is similar to a stranded riverbank.
Both sides were filled with large and small pebbles.
In the middle was a stream that just covered the soles of the feet. The water was only about a foot wide and there was not even a sound of water. It flowed from top to bottom as if completing a mission.
"Brother Qin An...how are you? Is the area safe?"
After Qin An had taken a thorough look at the surrounding environment, Hu Jizhou slid down from the rope. As soon as he came down, he took out the Vajra Umbrella and opened it to block Qin An.
Qin An nodded and said, "It's not dangerous... The terrain here is high at the top and low at the bottom, and the flowing water forms a jar here, just like the layout of the front hall and the rear bedroom in Feng Shui.
But logically speaking... a palace similar to the 'Front Hall of the Chuxing King's Tomb' should have been built here, so why is it left uncultivated?"
Qin An stopped talking here.
Hu Jizhou continued, "I've noticed that, too... Just like the second half of the road we walked earlier, the tomb chamber appears to have been built in a very sloppy manner, as if it were rushed. Could it be that King Chu Xing encountered a major disaster during the later stages of the construction of this tomb?"
Qin An nodded and said, "It's very likely."
But in the final analysis, this is just speculation from the two of them.
We have to go upstream to find out what the real situation is.
After walking around and making sure there was no danger.
Qin An and Hu Jizhou then called out to the archaeological team to come down.
After a while.
The rest of the archaeological team slid down the rope. They were all a little surprised at the environment here. How could there be running water that could only wet the soles of their shoes?
"Let's go!"
After Qin An saw that everyone had come down safely, he led the team upstream.
Nine flashlights and some glowing stones around.
The archaeological team was not afraid of stumbling over pebbles when walking.
After walking forward a few hundred meters.
I saw a pond formed in a low-lying area, with a small opening at the edge of the water. The water that was just enough to wet the soles of everyone's shoes flowed out from this small opening.
"No way?"
I saw only this low-lying pond in front of me.
Hawkeye asked unconsciously.
Do they have to swim across this pond to enter the main tomb chamber?
wrong.
The pond is green.
I don’t know how deep it is!
What if something unexpected happens? Wouldn’t all our efforts be wasted?
"Old Gu! Hawkeye! Do you still have explosives?" Qin An suddenly asked.
Gu Yang and Hawkeye were stunned, "Yes."
Qin An said, "Then use explosives to blow a bigger hole in the pond!"
"Huh?" Hawkeye was stunned. "Won't this place collapse?"
"will not."
I heard Qin An say this.
Hawkeye can only follow orders.
He buried the explosives in a hole beside the pond, and only ignited it after the archaeological team members had hidden far away. Then Hawkeye ran away without looking back!
half an hour.
"Bam—"
The dynamite exploded!
Broken pebbles and pond water splashed everywhere!
A huge hole appeared at the edge of the pond.
All of a sudden.
"Whoosh whoosh-"
The water in the pond flowed downstream in one go.
