Boss Ye, where do you think Third Uncle and the others will go?
Tian Zhen asked worriedly.
At this moment, he was very uneasy. Even the tomb looked a little strange.
So many living people had actually disappeared without even saying a word!
Ye Chen looked at the searchlight that was still lit. He said thoughtfully,"The lights are still on. There's no damage, no cries for help, and no fighting.”
Ye Chen took a deep breath and said,"This means that they might have been trapped and moved to a place without knowing. Otherwise, they would not have not asked for help."?”
Naive listened to Ye Chen's analysis and felt that it made sense. He nodded in agreement.
"Then where do we go to find them?"”
Ye Chen looked around at the tomb chambers and roughly estimated the direction. Then, he headed southwest.
"Boss Ye, where are you going?" Tian Zhen asked curiously.
Ye Chen did not answer him. Instead, he walked straight to the southwest wall and used Night Vision to observe it carefully.
He deduced that there must be a hidden passage in this tomb, and the stone door on the other side would be set up in the southwest. That was why he walked directly to this side to look for the exit.
On the other hand, Ye Chen's Night Vision allowed him to see things at night. He could see even the tiniest of details. Any tiny traces left behind by the setting of traps could not escape his eyes.
Naive did not dare to disturb Ye Chen at this moment and just watched quietly.
A moment later.
Ye Chen noticed a slight difference on the wall. He tapped his fingers lightly twice and a dull thud was heard!
"This is the place." Ye Chen chuckled.”
Then, he pressed down on it.
The black brick suddenly sank in, and then the ground shook.
The seemingly complete stone wall slowly opened to the left and right, revealing a pitch-black passage.
Innocent was overjoyed and gave Ye Chen a thumbs up."Boss Ye, awesome!"
"Alright, stop flattering me. Let's hurry up and leave.”
Ye Chen waved his hand and stepped into the passage first.
Hearing this, Innocent followed Ye Chen into the passageway.
This was not a spacious passage. The stone walls around it were very rough. It did not seem like a passage that would appear in a tomb of this size.
"This tunnel doesn't seem to be a regular tomb tunnel. It looked like a burrow!”Innocent looked at the marks on the tunnel and asked in confusion.
Tianzhen grew up in a tomb raiding family and was very familiar with the traces of the tomb.
He could tell at a glance that this tunnel was unusual. This tunnel was built with the method of digging a thief's hole!
"This doesn't seem to be a tunnel, but an escape passage!”
Ye Chen observed the marks on the wall and said calmly,
"In ancient times, especially during the Warring States Period, as long as one participated in the construction of the noble tomb, it was equivalent to death. They were either poisoned to death or buried alive with their corpses.”
"Therefore, those craftsmen came up with a method. Most craftsmen would make a secret passage for themselves so that they could escape. This should be an escape route disguised as a tomb!”
"It's like this from afar." Innocent nodded after hearing that.
This was the first time he had actually found such a tunnel in the tomb, and it felt quite novel.
However, the two of them did not have the leisure to stay and watch. They walked straight to the end of the passage.
At the end was another smaller tomb.
"There's someone here!"
As soon as they entered the tomb, Innocent pointed at the ground and exclaimed.
The two of them quickly walked over.
He realized that it was a corpse!
It was the body of a foreigner in camouflage.
Judging by the degree of decay, he had been dead for several days.
A large number of corpse turtles were gathered on the corpses.
Seeing that it was a foreigner's corpse, Naive felt a little more at ease.
Just now, he was afraid that this was the body of Third Uncle or Pan Zi.
Ye Chen looked at the bulging pockets on the corpse and wanted to check them.
He wanted to see if he could find anything.
Ye Chen took out the Cicada Incense and poked some powder off it, sprinkling it on the corpse.
All of a sudden, the Corpse Turtles fled in all directions as if they had seen a ghost and disappeared without a trace!
Ye Chen crouched down and rummaged through the corpse's pockets.
He only found cigarettes, a lighter, and a wallet. There was nothing else that could prove his identity.
There was also a foldable submachine gun beside him. Ye Chen checked it and found that it was out of bullets.
It must have been bitten to death by the Corpse Turtle after running out of bullets.
Ye Chen tore open the corpse's clothes and examined it again.
He found a series of steel seals on the belt of the corpse.
There was a string of numbers on it.
"What are these numbers?" Tian Zhen looked at the corpse's belt in confusion and asked.
Ye Chen recalled something and said calmly,"This is the symbol of the international salvage company. The identities of these people can be confirmed. They are all from the international salvage company.”
In fact, Ye Chen knew very well that this was not only a symbol but also the password to the purple-gold box.
This was what Judd had deciphered from the Han silk that he had deceived Grandpa Naive.
Therefore, this number became the company's symbol.
When Judekao sent people to rob the tomb, they used equipment from Judekao's company, so there was this password.
However, Ye Chen did not want to explain too much to Naive.
He silently memorized the password.
"There's no point in studying this corpse anymore. Let's see if there's an exit in the surroundings first and find Third Uncle and the others as soon as possible.”
Ye Chen raised the searchlight and greeted Naive, changing the topic.
Naive nodded and suppressed the doubts in his heart.
It was convenient for Ye Chen to split up and search the tomb to see if there was an exit to leave.
After all, it was more important to find Third Uncle.
Ye Chen had mastered the secret art of moving mountains and was very familiar with the layout of the tomb.
He went straight to the southwest of the tomb.
This was because the passage of a typical tomb would be set in this direction.
However, to his disappointment, there was only one wall in the southwest direction. There was no sign of the tomb at all.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment. Normally, the door of a tomb would be opened in the southwest direction to welcome the wind and receive water to ensure the feng shui of the tomb.
Therefore, it was impossible that there was no passage. The passageway must be hidden behind the stone door.
Ye Chen began to fumble around with his hands, trying to find the mechanism. At this moment, when he was looking for the exit, he accidentally knocked over a lampstand. The stone wall in front of Ye Chen suddenly shook violently.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Soon, a passage appeared in front of him.
"Boss Ye! This place didn't seem to be a tomb, but an escape route!”
Naive held the searchlight and looked around for a long time. He noticed that something was wrong and spoke to Ye Chen from the other side of the tomb.
Ye Chen nodded. He had been suspicious since he could not find the catacomb from the southwest.
In ancient times, especially during the Warring States Period.
As long as they participated in the construction of the noble's tomb, it was equivalent to death.
They were either poisoned or buried alive with their corpses, but the wisdom of the working people could not be ignored.
Most craftsmen would make a secret passage for themselves so that they could escape.
This should be an escape route disguised as a tomb!
Then his exit should be up there.
Ye Chen was about to look up to check his speculation.
Suddenly, she heard a naive scream!
"Ah! Boss Ye! Save me!"
