" The system has detected a secret tomb: Dragon Ridge Tomb. System mission activated.”
"Upon completing the exploration of the secret realm, you will receive a large amount of experience points and special rewards.”
"Current exploration progress, 3%."
……
Xu Nuo was studying the system mission when a voice came from the woman's walkie-talkie.
"Captain! There's a stone slab in front of us, the tunnel has been cut off, sizzling…"
When the beauty heard the voice on the walkie-talkie, her face turned pale.
The beauty's name was Tang Xue. She was an associate professor in the history department of Nandu University.
At such a young age, he was already a rising star in the domestic archaeology community. He had presided over many major archaeological site excavation work.
Tang Xue's mentor was Professor Chen, the leading archaeologist in the country.
When Tang Xue first joined the Department of Archeology at Nandu University, there was still some controversy.
However, after hosting several on-site excavation work, Tang Xue's work ability was recognized by her colleagues and students.
In the eyes of her colleagues and students, Tang Xue had always been calm and collected despite her young age.
It was the first time many people saw Tang Xue's expression so bad at the excavation site.
It seemed like they had encountered a big problem.
At this moment, no one else could understand the anxiety in Tang Xue's heart.
It was rare to see a tomb with such a complicated situation.
More importantly, Tang Xue had an intuition.
As an archaeologist at a top university in the country, Tang Xue had naturally come into contact with things that ordinary people could not.
Since more than a year ago, countries around the world had increased their investment in archaeology.
It even surpassed many popular majors such as computer finance.
This was because there were many tombs that contained special powers in this world.
These tombs could not be inferred by common sense. There might be fatal traps, dangerous mutated beasts, or even strange evil spirits inside.
Tang Xue had an intuition.
The tomb beneath the pirate cave in Fishbone Temple was very likely to be this special 'grave'.
It was also what the insiders called the "secret realm".
Just the skeleton of the big fish outside the Fishbone Temple was far beyond ordinary people's understanding.
It was four to five meters wide and twenty meters long.
And it was a fish, not a whale!
Now, there was actually a stone slab blocking the way in the bandit cave?
Tang Xue's intuition told her that there was definitely something wrong with this tomb.
"Old Lei, quickly retreat, do you hear me? Quickly retreat." Tang Xue shouted into the walkie-talkie.
There was a rustling sound coming from the walkie-talkie. Clearly, the signal underground was very bad.
Not only Tang Xue, but the staff at the excavation site were also on tenterhooks.
After a few seconds, a voice finally came from the walkie-talkie.
"Captain, something's wrong. The tunnel behind me is also blocked by a stone slab. I can't retreat!”
When the staff outside heard this, they gasped.
A bespectacled man, who looked refined and had no dirt on his work clothes, said," Old Lei, could it be that you were scared and hallucinating? How was it possible that the tunnel he came back from was also blocked by the stone slab? Then how did you get there just now?"
"Tsk tsk…Guo Jie, don't be sarcastic. When have I, Lei Zhengyi, ever been frightened by a tomb?”
Then, a series of fancy words came out of the walkie-talkie.
Tang Xue frowned and moved the walkie-talkie away.
The problem now was what to do?
Tang Xue had to make up her mind quickly.
"Hurry up and get the excavator."
"The excavator won't work. It will disturb the soil layer and might cause the tunnel to collapse.”
"Is this a ghost wall? Should we find a master?"
"By the time Master comes, Brother Justice will be dead.”
"Forget it, forget it. Let's wait for Captain to make the decision.”
Tang Xue felt like her head was about to explode.
Lei Zhengyi's voice came from the walkie-talkie. He sounded calm, but Tang Xue knew that Old Lei would not last long.
What should he do?
"Old Lei! Go forward, reach the stone slab, and dig straight up to see if you can reach the ground.”
Tang Xue finally made a decision.
At this moment, a faint voice sounded in Tang Xue's ear.
"It's useless. If you dig up from the stone slab, it'll still be a stone slab.”
Tang Xue frowned and looked sideways. A tall and handsome young man in his early twenties was muttering beside her.
The young man was Xu Nuo.
Tang Xue had seen outsiders giving advice many times. Although she didn't care much, it was still a little awkward to hear it at a critical moment.
After a slight snort, Tangxue focused her attention on the walkie-talkie.
At the same time, he asked someone to contact the excavator and be on standby.
After that, sounds came from the walkie-talkie.
"Captain, the stone slabs are very loose.”
"Captain, we've dug five to six meters, but we still haven't seen the edge of the stone slab.”
"Captain, there's another slate in front! The path up was also blocked. Was this a freaking big stone coffin?”
Tang Xue's face was getting paler and paler, and her forehead was already sweating.
Then, he looked at Xu Nuo beside him.
This outsider was actually right?
It was probably a coincidence.
Tang Xue picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted," Old Lei, stop digging. Go back the way you came."”
The man in clean clothes added," Captain Tang, isn't it inappropriate to give up now? What if Old Lei almost dug it out?”
Tang Xue obviously did not have a good impression of this colleague beside her.
"The oxygen in the underground cave is limited. We can't waste Old Lei's energy.”
The bespectacled man shook his head." It must be a ghost. Hurry up and invite someone who knows how to exorcise evil spirits. I know a Taoist temple nearby."”
As he spoke, his eyes revealed a playful smile.
Tang Xue bit her lips.
Could it really be a ghost?
If Tang Xue went to ask someone to exorcise the evil, she would become a joke in the archaeological world if an accident happened.
His academic life would be ruined.
But what if it was true?
If he hesitated, he might kill Old Lei in the catacomb.
Tangxue's breathing became heavier, and her eyes were firm. It was obvious that she had made a decision.
Compared to the life of his colleague, Old Lei, what was an academic life?
As long as it was effective, he would still invite her.
Tang Xue turned around and was about to find someone to get the exorcist when the young man from before spoke again.
"These people are not professional at all. How is this a ghost? This is clearly the Ghost Tomb."
After saying that, he shook his head and sighed. His expression was extremely disappointed.
Tang Xue was stunned when she heard that.
He swallowed the words that he wanted to ask the exorcist master to come.
Ghost Tomb?
