As the saying goes,"Looking at the mountain, a horse will run to death!"
According to the guidance of the Heavenly Star Feng Shui Art, it seemed that the West Night Ancient City was already close to Chi Chi, but Chen Cang and Shirley Yang had walked for an entire night.
When the sky had just lit up, a ruin finally appeared in front of them.
"Phew, we're finally here!"
Chen Cang heaved a sigh of relief. Walking for an entire night, even if he was a martial artist, he felt exhausted all over.
"Let's go and find out where Teacher and the others are.”
"Yes." Shirley nodded.
This West Night Ancient City had countless ruins on the ground. The houses were only left with broken stones and broken walls, giving off a cold and lonely feeling.
The two of them searched for a while and finally found the archeological team in the center of West Night Ancient City.
At this moment, the camel was tied to the side.
An Liman was lying on the blanket, smoking his pipe and looking at the sky leisurely.
Chen Cang looked around but did not see Professor Chen. There was only Chu Jian, who was anxiously surrounding an ancient well.
Chen Cang suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Chu Jian, where are the teachers?" he asked.”
Chu Jian turned around and took a few steps back in fear.
"You, you, are you people or ghosts? Aren't you guys dead?"
" We didn't die," Chen Cang explained." We just accidentally fell into the underground of that ancient city. After searching for a few days, we finally found the exit.”
"Why are you alone here? Where are Teacher and Hu Bayi?”
Chu Jian spent a long time before he finally believed that Chen Cang and the others were not ghosts but real people.
" Brother Chen," he quickly said," Hu Bayi used the Heavenly Star Feng Shui Technique yesterday and found a tomb under the ancient well. So, the teachers discussed going down to take a look. I didn't expect that there would be no news from them since they went down to the tomb."”
Chen Cang's expression changed.
"Chu Jian, how long have the teachers been down there?”
"It's been more than ten hours. I called them from the well, but they didn't respond. Brother Chen, did something happen to the teachers?”
Chen Cang's heart gradually sank.
There was no response for more than ten hours.
They must have encountered something.
However, he remembered that in the original novel, there was no danger in the underground well of West Night Ancient City.
Could it be that the parallel world effect had changed everything?
At this point, there was no point in continuing to wait. He had to go down and take a look.
"Chu Jian, don't worry. Shirley and I will go down to look for the teachers.”
"Brother Chen, I'll go down with you." Chu Jian quickly said.”
"No, there has to be someone on top to receive us. Otherwise, it won't be easy to deal with whatever happens.”
"Alright then."
Chu Jian could only nod helplessly.
"Shirley, let's go down.”
The two of them tied the rope and began to slowly descend to the bottom of the well with Chu Jian's help.
Finally, Chen Cang and the others found a hole in the well. This hole was located on the wall of the well. At this moment, the hole was still open and looked dark. A cold wind came from the hole.
"Shirley, let's be careful.”
The two of them continued to walk along the passage. The surrounding walls were made of bluestone. As they had been in the ancient well for a long time, the walls were very wet and there were some water droplets hanging on them.
After walking for about three to four minutes, they finally reached the end.
It was a stone door.
There was a huge stone on the stone door. It was the Dragon-Breaking Stone, and it weighed a thousand pounds!
Once it landed, it would completely seal the tomb.
At this moment, the stone door was wide open. It must have been Hu Bayi and the others. Chen Cang stood in front of the stone door and could feel that the cold aura was getting stronger and stronger.
He could vaguely smell a fishy smell coming from the stone door.
"Teacher and the others should be inside. We have to be careful. It might be dangerous.”
Shirley Yang took a deep breath." I will be careful.”
Walking inside, he saw a spacious stone room.
The stone room was about a few dozen meters in length and width. It did not feel crowded at all. There were also bronze lamps burning around it, illuminating the entire stone room.
Chen Cang's expression changed slightly when he saw the scene around him.
In this stone room, the ground was filled with white bones.
There were also dozens of wooden pillars around, with human skeletons tied to them. Traces of torture could be seen on the skeletons.
Shirley Yang said," These human skeletons should be slaves buried with the dead. They were tied up here. They should have died after undergoing cruel punishment."”
Chen Cang also sighed," This West Night Ancient City is the ruins of the Gumo Kingdom during the Western Han Dynasty. Only these small countries still retain the slavery system.”
Shirley Yang looked around but did not see Professor Chen and the others.
"Where did Professor Chen and the others go? I looked around just now and didn't find any door in this stone room.”
As Chen Cang had read the original work, he lowered his head to look for the underground entrance. As expected, two stone rings appeared very quickly.
As long as he pulled open the stone ring, he could enter the main tomb. Professor Chen and the others were most likely below.
"Shirley, the entrance is here.”
Chen Cang shouted. Shirley Yang walked over. The two of them pulled the stone ring together and pulled hard. Soon, an underground entrance appeared, and there was a stone ladder inside.
The two of them looked at each other. Chen Cang took the lead and stepped inside. He slowly walked down the stone stairs, and Shirley Yang followed closely behind.
Chen Cang's vigilance had been raised to the highest level, ready to strike at any moment. Shirley Yang also held a pistol in her hand, following behind Chen Cang with a solemn expression.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the main tomb.
Seeing the scene inside, Chen Cang's pupils constricted.
There was a dark red coffin in the center of the tomb. The lid on the coffin was gone. It was obvious that the coffin had been opened.
A figure was lying on the ground.
There was no longer any sound.
The figure had his back to them, and his face could not be seen clearly. From the clothes, Chen Cang quickly guessed his identity!
Hao Aiguo!
Professor Hao!
He actually died here?
What exactly happened?
Where did the others go?
