Hearing Yan Jiu's voice, Gao Shou stopped what he was doing and raised his head to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.
"This should be enough, right?" Huo Qingyi said as she looked at Gao Shou.
Gao Shou looked at the area that was about a meter in diameter and nodded at Huo Qingyi.
Then, Gao Shou crouched down, stretched out his hand, and carefully knocked on the iron plate twice.
Then, the crisp sound of metal echoed from the iron plate.
Gao Shou straightened his back and said,""This is hollow. There's nothing down there.”
Huo Qingyi nodded her head. She thought for a while and said,"" Something's not right. Normally, whether it's a vent or an escape route specially built by workers, they wouldn't make it so big. If that's the case…"
Then, he turned around and said to Yan Jiu and Gao Shou,""You guys continue to clear the soil. The area of this iron plate seems to be more than this.”
Gao Shou continued to sweep the soil. This time, Gao Shou bent down and knocked on the iron plate again. The sound was no longer hollow.
"This seems to be the only hollow part below. The rest are covered in soil. Moreover, it seems that the area covered by the iron plate is far more than what is in front of us.”Gao Shou rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully.
"Indeed, the only thing I can think of is that I don't want people from the outside to come in. However, if that's the case, the sound of you knocking on the iron plate just now felt a little thin. Moreover, this doesn't make sense. If that's the case, then it's possible that this place isn't just guarding against visitors from the outside, but against the things inside the tomb.”
"The things in the tomb?" Yan Jiu scratched his head and asked in confusion,""What could be inside? Could there be a living person in this ancient tomb that was hundreds of years old?”
"Things that can harm people are not limited to living people. The methods that dead people use to kill people are unimaginable.”Gao Shou had crawled out of the pit he and Yan Jiu had dug. He patted the dirt off his body and reached out to pull Yan Jiu out.
Yan Jiu took Gao Shou's hand and went up as well. However, after hearing Gao Shou's words, he could not help but feel a chill down his spine. Then, he could not help but ask,"What do you mean? Could it be that those dead people could climb out of their coffins?”
"Haha." Seeing Yan Jiu's expression of disbelief, Gao Shou could not help but shake his head and smile. A long, long time ago, he did not believe it either. However, after seeing the figure that broke out of the coffin and was slapped, how could Gao Shou not believe it?
"Dark arrows, earth spikes, traps, and mechanisms can all kill people, but it's obvious that these inanimate objects won't become its defensive targets.”As Gao Shou spoke, he even raised his chin.
"Then what is it? Could it be some poisonous gas or something? If that's the case, we shouldn't go down. We'll die a miserable death.”When Yan Jiu heard Gao Shou's words, the image of a person he had seen before who died of poisoning and festering all over his body suddenly appeared in his mind.
"No, because I think it's probably to prevent this thing.”Huo Qingyi shook her head and pointed at the black-haired snake that Yan Jiu had forgotten about.
"This? Wasn't it already dead? Moreover, it had already appeared outside!”Yan Jiu questioned.
"According to the ancient records, this kind of snake is not only aggressive, but also has an extremely strong reproductive ability. Whether it's longevity or vitality, it's exceptionally lush. You've seen it just now. It didn't die after taking so many hits from your shovel. It was rumored that it could enter a state of hibernation anytime, anywhere. In this case, it could be self-sufficient without even needing to absorb nutrients from the outside world. It was also an omnivorous creature. As long as it was alive, it would eat anything. As for this black-haired snake, it might be the owner of the tomb, or the person who built the tomb specially hid it here, right? To warn future generations."
Huo Qingyi explained.
After speaking, Huo Qingyi turned her gaze to Gao Shou, asking him what he wanted to do next.
Gao Shou caught Huo Qingyi's gaze and lowered his head to think. Then, he remembered the existence of the system. He gritted his teeth and said,""Enter! And he was going in tonight! Since he had already come, how could he return empty-handed?”
Gao Shou knew that the danger of going down this time would not be low, but if he did not go in, he would still die after a few days.
Moreover, that kind of silent death was too aggrieved. This kind of death was not what Gao Shou wanted.
"Yan Jiu, where are you going? Give me the explosives!" Gao Shou turned his head. Perhaps it was because he had just made up his mind, but at this moment, Gao Shou looked sharply at Yan Jiu who was standing beside him and said,
Yan Jiu was also shocked by Gao Shou's gaze. He subconsciously asked,""Explosives? Why do you need explosives?"
After hearing Yan Jiu's words, Gao Shou said impatiently,""If I tell you to go, then go quickly. Why are you asking so many questions?”
Seeing how fierce Gao Shou was, Yan Jiu did not dare to ask any more questions. Otherwise, Gao Shou would scold him again. He turned around and was about to pack the explosives when a hand reached out and stopped him.
"Wait a minute."
Yan Jiu, who had just started walking, turned around and looked at Huo Qingyi, who was blocking his way.
Huo Qingyi put down her hand and raised her head to ask Gao Shou,""What do you want to do with that explosive?"
Huo Qingyi laughed and said,""There's a village that lives less than two mountains away. If you let out a bomb here, I'm afraid everyone in the village will hear it.”
Huo Qingyi's words were true. If a bomb was placed here, the security would definitely search the mountain. It would be fine if they didn't see it, but if they found the hole, the police would definitely investigate.
Moreover, many people saw him when he came here. He didn't clean up his mess. The person who drove the car here was just a tourist. If he thought about it this way...
"Do you have any ideas?" Gao Shou looked at Huo Qingyi and said,
Huo Qingyi smiled without saying a word as she pulled out a bottle of something from her pocket…
