It was like suddenly declaring the failure of all operations at the last step. It would have been fine if he had not confirmed the location of the tomb from the beginning to the end. However, now that they had already entered the Chi You’s Tomb, they had failed because of such a mechanism. No one could take this lying down.
Professor Sun looked up and suddenly thought of something. He frowned and said, “Do you think this lampstand is a mechanism?”
Professor Sun’s words quickly attracted the attention of the others. The position of the lampstand was very abrupt. It did not look like it was purely used for lighting. Chen Jie had suspected it early on, but because she could not put it into practice, she did not say this thought.
Now that Professor Sun mentioned it, Professor Cai nodded and said, “That’s very likely. Perhaps by lighting the lampstand, we can trigger the mechanism. Even if we can’t trigger the mechanism, perhaps after the lampstand is lit, there will be traces of the mechanism.
This discovery undoubtedly gave everyone hope, but this hope did not last long.
“It’s just a hypothesis, and there’s no way to verify it.” Master Gu’s arrogant voice sounded, and his face was filled with helplessness. “In the end, it was all for nothing! We can’t use any tools at a height of more than four meters. Unless we stack up, who can go up and practice?”
However, just as Master Gu finished speaking, a strange voice suddenly sounded from the depths of the quiet and pitch-black tomb!
“Why don’t I try?”
This sudden voice stunned everyone.
“Who’s talking?” Someone asked in surprise, but after looking at each other, they all shook their heads. Immediately, a chill rose from the bottom of their feet. One had to know that this was an ancient tomb. If an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded, it would naturally make one’s hair stand on end.
Everyone stood up at this moment and focused their flashlights in the direction of the voice almost at the same time. It was a fork in the road not far away, but the brightness of the flashlight was limited, not enough to illuminate the entire fork.
Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at the dark tomb in confusion, the voice she had heard just now echoing in her mind. For some reason, she felt that this voice was familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
Everyone held their breaths at this moment- This sudden voice made everyone feel a little uneasy.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Finally, the sound of footsteps gradually came from afar. It was originally inaudible, but it gradually became heavy and approached. It was a little terrifying in the empty cemetery. At this moment, Professor Cai was holding the Luoyang shovel in his hand. This seemed to have become the weapon he relied on.
The mature woman, Chen Jie, also took out the self-defense knife she carried at her waist and stared at the tomb path nervously.
Professor Sun tried his best to control his breathing, but even so, his chest was still heaving violently.
Zhou Xiaoxiao even took out her pistol and placed her finger on the trigger, looking ready for battle. This was an ancient tomb from thousands of years ago. How could anyone move in the tomb? Could it be that what was described in the ancient books and legends was true, but how was this possible? Or was it a tomb raider? But how could they have the ability to find it?
At this moment, they had different guesses about this sudden voice. They leaned against the wall of the tomb and stared at the dark tomb. The unhurried footsteps were like the arrival of the god of death, making everyone nervous.
Finally, the footsteps were getting closer and closer. Then, a figure stepped into the range of the flashlight and could already see an outline. The figure’s attire was simple, but he was carrying a backpack that was not completely zipped up. There was also a long object leaking out. On his shoulder was a furry animal..
