"Rumble!"
As the stone pillars in the tomb continued to shake, the surrounding walls also began to change.
" What happened?!"
"I don't know. Could it be that someone accidentally set up a mechanism?”
The archeological team was also shocked by this sudden movement and looked around vigilantly.
"No, look at the wall!" At this moment, Lin Hong suddenly pointed at the wall above as if he had discovered something.
Everyone hurriedly looked up.
A few large black holes suddenly appeared on the wall that was originally filled with countless strange murals.
"Kacha! Crack!"
After a few dull sounds, a few snake-head-shaped stone statues quickly drilled out of the hole in the wall. These stone statues opened their bloody mouths and had fierce and sinister eyes.
"What is this thing…" When Lin Hong saw these stone statues, he subconsciously took a few steps forward.
"Don't go over!" At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly shouted,"" That's a trap! Get down!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
"Xiu! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The stone statues in front of Lin Hong shot out a few blue fire arrows in succession, heading straight for his face.
“!!!”Lin Hong's eyes widened. It seemed like it was too late to lie down now.
At the critical moment.
Huo Xiaoling, who had been quietly following the crowd, suddenly jumped up and pressed Lin Hong to the ground. Then, she quickly lay down as well. Only then did the two of them escape the rain of arrows.
"Zi zi"
As soon as the blue fire arrow touched the ground, it immediately corroded a hole in the stone slab, emitting wisps of white smoke.
When Lin Hong saw this scene, he only felt his scalp go numb.
If he had really been hit by the arrow just now, he would probably have been corroded until not even his bones were left, right?
Thinking of this, he looked at Huo Xiaoling gratefully.""Thank you for what you did just now, Junior Huo."
"You're welcome." Huo Xiaoling stood up and glanced at him before she continued to observe the surroundings of the tomb.
Not far away.
Jiang Chen took in everything that just happened.
He didn't expect the seemingly lively and innocent Huo Xiaoling to have such good skills.
In that situation just now, if one did not have a certain amount of speed and explosive power, it would be impossible to save the person. They might even lose their lives.
It was obviously unreasonable for such skills to appear on a third-year student.
Unless she had another identity!
"Huo Xiaoling…" Jiang Chen repeated the name." Could it be a descendant of the Huo family in South Beach?”
Suddenly, he remembered.
Back in the wooden house, Fatty had said that Huo Xiaoling had secretly taken the cloth bag that Lin Ze found on the giant eye stone statue.
The cloth bag had a phoenix pattern embroidered on it.
The Huo family of South Beach had nine gates and a phoenix pattern…
Connecting these things together, the answer in Jiang Chen's heart was already obvious:
Wang Clan!
It seemed that in the years he was in slumber, the people of the South Spratly Nine Gates had already come face to face with the Wang family.
That was why Huo Xiaoling hid the bag when she found it. She must have found something inside.
In other words, perhaps the Wang Clan had been searching for Ancient Loulan since a long time ago?
"Mr. Jiang!" Shirley Yang saw Jiang Chen deep in thought and gently shook his shoulder.""There seems to be a situation on the Professor's side. Let's go and take a look.”
"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded and collected his thoughts.
The most important thing now was to find Ancient Loulan first. It was not too late to think about other things later.
Moreover, he had a faint premonition.
Perhaps he would meet the Wang family again soon.
At this moment, everyone had already gathered together again.
"Professor, are you all right?" Xue Li Yang walked up and asked.
"It's fine, it's fine." Professor Chen waved his hand and smiled."It's all thanks to Xiaoling. Otherwise, we would have lost another member.”
Huo Xiaoling just smiled and didn't say anything.
Jiang Chen frowned." What happened just now? Why did you suddenly trigger the mechanism?"”
His attention had been on the mural earlier, so he did not see who triggered the mechanism.
Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Fatty lowered his head and took the initiative to step forward.
"Little brother, it's like this."
Fatty briefly explained what had happened just now. Finally, he mentioned his and Old Hu's analysis of the tomb.
"Comrade Xiao Wang, your analysis is very reasonable!”Professor Chen looked around and asked in confusion,"Previously, we were also very puzzled. It's impossible for such a complete tomb to not have a coffin.”
"But since they built such a huge tomb, why did they move the coffin to another place?”
"Perhaps, this wasn't the real tomb in the first place.”Jiang Chen walked over and said.
"Have you ever thought that the tomb we are in now is actually very likely to be used by Prince Xi Ye to deceive others? And the place where his coffin is is the real royal tomb!”
Everyone was stunned by Jiang Chen's words.
"Leader Jiang, are you saying that this isn't the real royal tomb?”Lin Hong paused and revealed a puzzled expression.""But why did Prince Xi Ye go through so much trouble?”
"Yes, Comrade Xiaojiang." Professor Chen shook his head and said.
"This, this doesn't make sense logically…"
Jiang Chen couldn't deny everyone's doubts.
They felt that it was illogical because the information they had was not comprehensive enough.
It was rumored that Prince Xi Ye was the number one War God of the Western Regions at that time.
However, this brave warrior had died from overwork after he returned to the country after plotting to poison the Loulan Queen.
In Jiang Chen's eyes, this reason was too lame.
The number one War God of the Western Regions actually died from overwork? Who the hell are you trying to fool?
Not long after that, he was buried in a hurry, as if he was hiding from something.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen already had a guess:
Perhaps Prince West Night had been cursed by the Ghost Eye when he first met the Loulan Queen.
Later on, he went to Ancient Loulan for the second time and plotted to kill the Queen. Coincidentally, the Ghost Eye Curse on his body was about to take effect. In order to avoid the Queen's " revenge," he used the excuse of faking his death and hid in the dark mausoleum with the Queen.
Therefore, the tomb above was just a smokescreen.
The real tomb was actually hidden.
Moreover, there must be something in the tomb that could stop the spread of the Ghost Eye Curse!
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.
"Fatty, take me to the place where you encountered the mechanism just now.”
"Maybe there will be some clues!”
