He didn't have to walk far before he would find other forks and branch caves.
It was like a maze.
The Dragon Ridge Maze was indeed worthy of its reputation.
"Look at these caves. They're all eroded by flowing water. With such geological conditions, there must be a fork in the road. What should he do then? Should we continue to split up?"
Xu Nuo explained patiently.
At first, Lu Ning was not convinced.
But soon, Lei Zhengyi and Tang Xue had already used their torchlights to investigate the two sides.
They didn't have to walk far. Within ten meters, a fork appeared.
Old Lei came back and gave Xu Nuo a thumbs up.
"It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, we would have wasted a lot of time.”
Old Lei was also a master of sarcasm and immediately returned Lu Ning's words.
Lu Ning's face instantly turned red. He looked at his mentor, Tang Xue, and his junior sister, Cao Xiaoying, who were beside him. He felt embarrassed.
"Then what should we do? If he couldn't go left or right, could he hit the wall?”
Tang Xue's expression turned cold when she heard Lu Ning's words.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Xu Nuo reach out a hand in front of him.
"Do you have a geological hammer? Lend it to me."
Tang Xue didn't even think about it and handed the geological hammer she brought to Xu Nuo.
Xu Nuo quickly knocked on the ground and the surrounding earthen walls.
He even clapped his hands from time to time.
His brows furrowed slightly, and his nose twitched slightly.
Professor Hao, Lu Ning, Cao Xiaoying, and the others all looked at Xu Nuo with their mouths agape. They didn't know what Xu Nuo was doing.
"Senior Brother, could it be that this person was frightened by you and became a little abnormal?”
Cao Xiaoying asked in confusion.
Lu Ning looked a little proud." I wonder where Teacher Tang found such an unorthodox civilian student. He doesn't have any other skills other than pretending to be mysterious.”
Although Tang Xue and Old Lei could not understand it, they did not say anything.
Tang Xue looked at Xu Nuo's actions and even had some anticipation. She unconsciously looked at the golden talisman that Xu Nuo was hanging.
A few minutes later, with a pure and sincere smile on his face, Xu Nuo pointed at the wall opposite the hole that everyone had come out of and said to Lu Ning,"
"You're right this time. Let's hit the wall!”
Cao Xiaoying's eyes widened and her mouth formed an O.
Lu Ning sneered." Stop talking nonsense. Let's hurry up and choose a path. Don't delay the progress.”
Xu Nuo shook her head." No, no, I'm not spouting nonsense. I'm serious.”
After saying that, the smile on Xu Nuo's face disappeared. She walked to the opposite side of the earthen wall and the bandit hole. She raised the geological hammer in her hand high and smashed it on the earthen wall.
A crashing sound was heard.
A black hole had actually appeared in the previously flat earth wall.
There were neat shovel marks inside the hole. It was obvious that it was also a hole dug by an expert.
It was the same as the Burglar Cave that everyone had entered before.
However, for some reason, that expert had sealed the entrance of this bandit cave.
After decades of natural weathering, the sealed area of the earthen wall had already disappeared without a trace.
The advanced detection equipment in the tomb could not be used. It was originally extremely difficult to find the entrance to this cave.
If there was no promise in the expedition team, even if the expedition team did not split up, no matter which side they went to search, it was very likely that they would be trapped in the maze.
At that time, it would not just be a matter of time.
Tang Xue and Lei Zhengyi's faces were filled with surprise.
Professor Hao's tense face finally eased a little.
Cao Xiaoying clapped.
Only Lu Ning's face alternated between green and white, looking very uncomfortable.
Old Lei quickly walked to the entrance of the cave and took out a foldable shovel from his backpack to clean up the cave.
Then, he turned on the flashlight and looked inside.
"I can't see the end, but there's wind. The air is circulating. I'll take the lead and go in to take a look.”
Tang Xue nodded." Be careful."”
Old Lei then nimbly entered.
After a while, he heard Lei Zhengyi's voice coming from the burrow.
"Everyone, come in. This tunnel isn't very long. There's a large space behind it.”
Soon, everyone had entered the burrow.
Xu Nuo was the last to walk this time. Just as they entered the Thief's Cave, Xu Nuo stopped for a moment.
His ears trembled slightly.
From the deep and dark caves on both sides, some faint and strange sounds came.
Xu Nuo frowned slightly.
It seemed that the Dragon Ridge Maze Tomb was preserved quite well.
One of the most dangerous things inside had already appeared.
Xu Nuo's eyes lit up after passing through the 30-meter-long tunnel.
At the end was a tall space.
It seemed to be 20 to 30 meters tall.
The area was about a few hundred square meters.
Traces of artificial repair could be seen on the surrounding stone walls.
He swept his flashlight over and saw some embossed of human faces that looked like ghost faces.
Each of them was the size of a washbasin, and they were distributed at a relatively high place in the space.
"What is this place?"
"It doesn't look like a tomb."
Lu Ning and Cao Xiaoying were stunned.
Tang Xue nodded." There are signs of artificial repairs here. It should be the location of a huge ritual, a temple, or an altar.”
"What's with those human faces? Why do you look like you're crying?" Lu Ning pointed at a embossed above him.
Professor Hao had been looking at it for a long time." Strange, this is too strange. This human face pattern is similar to the decorative style of the ancient Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty, but it's not the Taotie pattern or the cloud thunder pattern.”
"Rare, too rare."
Xu Nuo didn't say anything because she was listening attentively to the system notification.
The moment he came out of the hole, the system notification sounded.
"Congratulations to the host for entering the human-faced altar of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The exploration progress of the Dragon Ridge Tomb has increased to 10%.”
"Congratulations to the host for entering the Human-Faced Altar of Western Zhou. Look for the remains of the Golden Abacus."
There was actually a side mission!
Xu Nuo was pleasantly surprised.
Side quests meant more rewards.
A golden abacus?
Xu Nuo immediately realized that if she could find the remains of the Golden Abacus, she would definitely get more than experience points.
