As soon as he entered the burrow, Zhang Ye immediately felt a sense of darkness and oppression.
Along with it was the unique smell of decay in the tomb.
Fortunately, it wasn't very choking because of the ventilation.
Moreover, because Xue Liyang was crawling in front of him.
He could faintly smell the faint natural fragrance on Xue Liyang's body.
"Ouch!"
Fatty suddenly called out.
"What's wrong, Fatty?" Hu Bayi shouted from behind.
"I'm fine. My eyes were just stung by something!”
Hearing this, Shirley Yang immediately lit a candle.
The candle did not go out, which clearly meant that there was no problem with the air quality. Shirley Yang's heart relaxed.
"It's fine. It should be dust.”
The team continued to move forward slowly. They did not know how long this hole was. They crawled for another five to six minutes, but they still did not see the end.
Fortunately, the Golden Abacus had thought it through when digging the hole. He had fixed it with wooden frames at intervals, so everyone did not have to worry about it collapsing.
After climbing for another ten minutes, Fatty suddenly shouted,
"This won't do, this won't do, this bandit cave is too long, let's rest for a while!”
Zhang Ye also stopped.
He couldn't see Shirley Yang's condition, but he could clearly hear her breathing becoming more erratic.
Indeed, climbing for twenty minutes in such a narrow space was very exhausting.
He turned around to look at Hu Bayi, who was grinning, his forehead covered in sweat.
Seeing that Zhang Ye was still acting as if nothing had happened, Hu Bayi could not help but give him a thumbs up."
"Lord Zhang, your physique is really strong. Can you tell me how you trained it?”
Zhang Ye smiled and was about to answer.
But at this moment.
"Pfft ~" A soft sound was heard.
The candle between them suddenly went out.
"Lord Zhang, why are you blowing out the candles?”
Hu Ba asked from the darkness.
"I didn't." Zhang Ye said calmly.
"Lord Zhang, you really know how to joke. This candle is between us. If you didn't blow it, could it be me?"
Hu Ba took out a match from his pocket and was about to light a candle when he was stunned.
"F * ck, where's my candle?"
Hu Bayi was a little dumbfounded. He clearly remembered that the candle was placed in front of him on the right.
Why was it gone now?
Looking at Zhang Ye in front of him, Hu Bayi suddenly laughed again."Lord Zhang, you're really humorous. You just blew out the candle and now you're hiding it again. Are you trying to scare me on purpose?”
Zhang Ye looked at him expressionlessly.”
At this moment, Xue Liyang's voice rang out,""I can testify that there is no candle behind Lord Zhang.”
"No? That's not right!"
Hu Bayi said in puzzlement,"Didn't Lord Zhang take this? Could it be that the candle has its own legs?"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the fatty at the front suddenly shout,
"F * ck, Old Hu, my candle is gone too!”
As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if there was a chain reaction.
"Hu ~"
"Hu ~"
......
In the dim tomb passage, there was a sound that sounded like someone blowing, and the candle's flame was immediately extinguished.
Hu Bayi suddenly felt his scalp go numb.
He had seen clearly just now that Zhang Ye and Xue Liyang hadn't moved at all.
He did not move.
The problem was that no one moved, so how could the candle be extinguished?
For a moment, no one spoke. They fell into a dead silence. Even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard clearly.
"Old Hu, did we encounter a ghost blowing out the light?”Fatty asked with a trembling voice.
People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps.
This was an ancient rule of gold looting.
When opening a large tomb, one must light a candle in the southeast corner of the underground chamber before opening the coffin to touch the gold.
If the candle was extinguished, the owner had to return the items he had obtained and leave the tomb.
"I don't think so. We haven't even touched the entrance of the underground palace.”
Hu Ba Yi also calmed down,""There should be other reasons, or it was blown out by the wind."
"No, there was no airflow just now. I think there's not enough oxygen…" Xue Liyang took out a candle as she spoke.
However, to her surprise, the candle was lit.
This meant that the oxygen content was sufficient.
"This isn't it, that isn't it either. Then how did the candle go out? He even disappeared on his own!" Fatty said gloomily.
"Lord Zhang, do you know what happened?”Xue Liyang suddenly turned around.
Zhang Ye naturally knew what was going on.
If his guess was correct, this should be the appearance of the ghost tomb in the original novel!
As he thought about it, he glanced at the place where he had placed the candle and immediately understood.
"Look at the place where you put the candles. Is there an extra stone slab?”
Slate?
The three of them subconsciously shone their Wolf Eye torchlights over.
As expected, the place where the candles were placed was no longer a yellow soil ground, but a flat and hard stone slab.
"Hiss, why is there a stone slab here?!”
Hu Ba Yi and the others gasped in unison.
At this moment, they felt their hearts turn cold.
This is a real cave of thieves!
Then the question was, where did this stone tablet come from?
