The doors of the palace slowly opened, and everyone carefully walked inside with flashlights.
This was a very spacious palace. As soon as they entered, an extremely cold aura assaulted their faces.
The floor of the palace was made of large slabs of stone. In the center of the palace, there was a huge plaque hanging above the head. On it were three large words written in ancient script: Cool Palace.
It was obvious that this palace was used by the royal family to avoid the heat.
"Boom…"
The sound of flames burning could be heard.
Wu Xie lit the kerosene in the groove on the wall pillar.
Immediately, a fire snake surrounded the entire hall.
In just a moment, the entire palace was illuminated.
"Wow, this is too spectacular."
A few young girls who had not seen much of the world could not help but exclaim.
Even the others could not help but marvel at this design.
With the light in the palace, everyone could see the environment clearly.
The decorations in the palace looked very grand. There were huge pillars around it, and there was a huge stone bed on the top. Around the stone bed were beads made of red gems, which looked extremely luxurious.
In the middle of the hall, there was another floor that was different from the other places. It was made of wooden planks.
In the middle was a small round platform that was a few centimeters higher than the ground. Four small incense sticks were placed around the round platform, and in the middle was a large box.
"What's inside?"
Everyone surrounded the big box and guessed. Su Nan called over Old Chen, who was the best at picking locks under her.
"Old Chen, come over and see if you can pry open this box.”
Old Chen took a few steps forward when he heard that. He didn't do anything special. He just pulled the ancient lock on the box twice, and then…
With a click, the box opened!
Everyone gathered around. Old Chen placed both hands on the box and slowly opened it under everyone's expectant gazes.
For a moment, everyone seemed to see a burst of colorful lights.
When the box was completely opened, everyone's eyes were almost fixed on it.
"Wow, so many treasures."
"Oh my god, this is going to be rich."
"Damn it, how much is this worth?”
Cries of alarm rang out from the crowd. Some people could no longer hold it in and wanted to go up and divide the jewels in the box.
However, since the few big shots did not take action, those subordinates naturally did not dare to act rashly.
How could Su Nan not know what everyone was thinking? He smiled and said,"There are so many things here. Why don't we split them equally according to the number of people?”
Since it was split equally, Zhang Ye and Li Chu would each get a share.
However, this was the fairest method, which made Elder Chen and his other subordinates somewhat dissatisfied.
"Sister Su Nan, we risked our lives to come here. It's not too much to take these jewels, right? However, these two brats didn't do anything and still got the jewelry. It's simply too…"
Old Chen automatically ignored everything that Zhang Ye had done before. Then, he deliberately spoke very loudly so that everyone present could hear him.
Everyone had their own selfish motives.
Although Elder Chen's suggestion was immoral, surprisingly, no one objected.
This was because if Zhang Ye and Li Shu didn't get the jewelry, they might get a bit more.
Zhang Ye looked at them deeply and said nothing.
Li Chu was at a loss, but after looking at Zhang Ye and Wu Xie, he chose to shut his mouth.
Wu Xie did not speak.
It wasn't that he didn't want to speak up for them, but he wanted to test what Zhang Ye and Li Chu would do when it came to money.
Would he be the same as others?
Would her heart be shaken by the sight of so many jewels?
If Zhang Ye knew what Wu Xie was thinking, he would definitely laugh at him.
In his opinion, this little treasure in front of him was not enough for him to look at.
His goal was the real gold mountain in Gutong Capital!
Compared to those treasures, the box in front of him was not even worth mentioning.
Moreover, the box of gold, silver, and jewelry in front of him was actually a trap.
No matter who it was, as long as they took it, they would definitely trigger the mechanism inside.
He, Zhang Ye, was not that stupid!
Zhang Ye was very calm, as if he was indifferent to the treasures.
Li Chu was tempted, but seeing that Zhang Ye didn't do anything, he could only obediently stand beside him.
Wu Xie, who was standing at the side, silently watched all of this and secretly gave them a thumbs up for their performance.
The people on the other side had already begun to distribute the treasures in the chest. Everyone's eyes were shining as they looked at the chest of treasures.
At this moment, Li Chu seemed to be attracted by something and turned his head to listen carefully.
"Li Chu, what's wrong?" Zhang Ye couldn't help but ask when he saw him like this.
Li Chu didn't seem to hear him. He didn't answer immediately. Instead, he carefully walked in a certain direction.
Just a moment ago, he seemed to have heard a very strange sound. When he was looking for the sound, he saw a stone wall inlaid with many barnacles in a corner of the wall.
"Why are there so many barnacles here?”
Su Nan, who had followed them, glanced at the stone wall and asked in surprise.
However, Wu Xie explained that the densely packed things in front of him were nothing more than barnacles.
Just as they were debating whether they were real barnacles or not, something kept falling from the barnacles. They took a closer look and found that it was actually some red gems.
"Come over and take a look." Li Cui looked at the people behind him in surprise, but his voice was so excited that it attracted the attention of the others.
They had been putting the treasures in the big box into their own bags, but when they heard Li Chu's shout, they thought they had found something more valuable and surrounded him.
Seeing that everyone had followed him, Li Zu pointed at the round object on the ground and asked everyone to take a look.
Everyone focused their eyes and saw a layer of small red balls on the ground.
However, in the blink of an eye, someone exclaimed,"It's a ruby."
Following that person's exclamation, the others all rushed towards the gemstone on the ground.
Zhang Ye pulled Li Ku and silently retreated.
He had been on guard since the beginning.
In the palace, the most conspicuous treasures were usually connected to mechanisms, and they were specially used to deal with those greedy people.
The people in front of him had not only taken the jewels in the big box, but they had also snatched the rubies that had fallen on the ground. Clearly, they had already triggered the mechanism.
Although he knew that the mechanism had been activated, he did not warn anyone.
He wasn't a saint, so he had no obligation to warn these greedy fellows.
As expected!
Just as everyone was fighting for it, the floor under their feet began to shake violently.
Even the main door of the palace was slammed shut with a bang.
"What happened?"
"Oh no! The door of the hall is locked, we can't get out.”
"What should we do, what should we do?"
The crowd was panicking. Only Zhang Ye and Wu Xie were calm. They occupied a wooden floor in the middle of the palace in advance.
Soon, the floor in other places began to crack.
Zhang Ye looked on coldly.
The show was about to begin!
