At night, the group of tomb robbers prepared to enter the underground passage they had prepared earlier. After descending with the ropes, the lead, Xiao Li, and Zhenmu threw down a few illuminating rods. The dim light dropped straight down, causing only a faint sound after a long time, and the illumination was minimal for those on the ground, with only a small dot of light.
"Wow, how deep is this?"
"This underground mausoleum has a huge and extensive structure stretching through the mountains. It can accommodate such a magnificent building, so you can imagine its depth."
To facilitate entry, the cave entrance was not vertically straight up and down, so everyone could still not see clearly. Underneath, Zhenhao could hardly conceal his excitement and excitement.
He urged the two people squatting beside him, "What are you still doing? Hurry up and come down!"
Xiao Li glanced at him with a smile, and stayed motionless until Mr. Yan behind Zhenhao nodded slightly. Only then did Xiao Li say, "Okay, I'm going down now." After saying that, he quickly fastened the buckle at his waist and slowly slid down the rope.
As Zhenmu was about to go down, Zhenbei grabbed him and handed him something, "Second Brother, take this."
Zhenmu looked at the small bag in his palm in a daze, "What is this?"
"It's a talisman for protection." Zhenbei smiled and said, "I specially went up the mountain to get it."
Looking at the small cloth bag in his palm, Zhenmu's eyes filled with a faint warmth. He rubbed Zhenbei's head with his gloved hand and said, "Thank you, Xiaobei."
"You're welcome!"
After Zhenmu left, Zhenbei squatted at the entrance and watched inside with a clear expression of worry on his face.
"Heh, you remember to bring an amulet for Zhenmu, but forgot to bring one for me, big brother?" Zhenhao chuckled and looked down at Zhenbei, who was squatting on the ground.
Zhenbei looked up anxiously and said, "No, no, big brother, I also brought one for you! Look!" He then took out several small bags from his pocket and said, "I thought of both you and Erge. Big brother, I want you to return safely as well."
He grabbed the rope on the small bag and was eager to put it on Zhenhao.
Zhenhao looked at the gray bag and the silly smiling face of Zhenbei approaching quickly, and disgustingly pushed his hand away.
With a "smack," Zhenbei's backhand was slightly red, and the little bag fell to the ground. Mr. Yan glanced coldly at it and continued to stare at the entrance. His subordinates behind him smirked maliciously.
"You keep this kind of thing for yourself!" It’s so dirty, and I don’t know where it came from."
"Oh..." Zhenbei lowered his head, looking a little sad, just like a kicked golden retriever. He was about to bend down to pick up the bag, but it was picked up by Little Luo, who couldn't bear to see him like that. He handed the bag to Zhenbei and said quietly, "Don't mind your silly brother, keep it for yourself."
"Thank you." Zhenbei smiled shyly, but instead of taking it, he pushed it back to Little Luo. "You take it, it's very effective. It will definitely ensure safety!"
Little Luo hesitated for a moment, then smiled, nodded, and put the bag in his pocket, patting it to show he’d keep it safe.
"Thank you, I will take good care of it."
"Ok!" Zhenbei nodded happily.
Zhenhao looked at them with a cold gaze and rolled his eyes, muttering under his breath, "Idiot."
The small incident did not affect others.
It wasn’t until two distinct and sharp whistle sounds were heard from underground that the stiff-faced man finally showed a forced smile.
"It's done! Let's all go down." After speaking, the others swiftly and skillfully tied the ropes and descended, except for Zhenhao.
After Zhenhao had gone down, Sister Lei called for Little Luo to follow, and Zhenbei was the last one to go down.
Standing at the entrance, he gazed down quietly, his eyes dark and his smile in the darkness seemingly colder, but his comrade, A Shui, saw this and flinched, then quickly turned to look again, only to realize that there was nothing ominous, but rather a silly smile!
Realizing that he was startled by this silly big guy, A Shui angrily kicked Zhenbei's butt and said, "What are you looking at there? Hurry up and go down, you silly oaf!"
After staggering a bit, Zhenbei turned back to look at A Shui, who still had a tense expression. He then smiled foolishly and nodded, "Sorry, I'm a little scared, haha, I'll go down right away."
Watching Zhenbei hesitantly and seemingly scared as he went down, A Shui muttered a few curses and then pulled the rope to ensure there were no issues before leisurely returning to the tent for sleep.
...
The deep and spacious deep pit made it feel as if one were in the depths of a cliff abyss when looked at from below.
In front of them was a stone-carved giant gate seemingly connecting heaven and earth.
Standing in front of the magnificent and towering gate, it seemed like a wall of sighs – when they looked up, they couldn't even see the top, which inexplicably gave rise to a sense of frustration and awe. Some even felt so timid that they wished to stop and not dare to peek inside.
"Is this... the legendary underground palace of the thousand-year-old burial tomb?!" Zhenhao's hands trembled as he stared at the stone gate and felt its carvings.
Mr. Yan, behind him, also became a bit short of breath. Zhenbei and Zhenmu had been here once before, but every time they saw this stone gate, it was always filled with wonder.
"How on earth was this made?! So tall... did ancient people know how to fly?" Chunlei asked, unable to close his mouth.
Tie Zi shot him a glance and looked towards Mr. Yan, waiting for the leader to lead them inside.
"Just with this grand gate alone, I'm starting to feel a bit scared, what about inside... will it be simple?"
"Hey! If you're afraid, just go back, so there will be fewer people to share the spoils with us!"
"Screw off, I didn't mean that!"
Facing the excitement of uncovering the glorious unknown, the men made light-hearted jokes, while Lei tightly held her disciple's hand and stared fixedly at the gate in front of her.
Little Luo made a face and asked Lei, "Master, have we just entered the main gate of a mausoleum? Was it really this easy?"
Lei snorted, "Main gate of a mausoleum? Huh~ You've only entered the gate of a city, and there have been many people who have been here before. Can it not be easy? How do you know that nobody has died here? Maybe you're stepping on someone's bones right now."
"..." Little Luo closed his mouth, but his eyes showed that he was clearly on alert. The slim young man had a sharp edge about him at that moment.
As they disappeared into the dark and cavernous stone path, somewhere in the darkness, a smooth wall started to undulate like water and finally transformed into two transparent 'people'.
The two figures huddled together and made chittering noises.
"Did you smell that scent of wood that Mu talked about?"
"Yeah, I've identified three people with that scent."
"Is it the one carrying the sword in the front, the tall and thin one at the back, and the short winter melon next to the woman?"
"No, not the short winter melon, it's the small bean sprout. He is not fat at all."
"That's right, Mu is so amazing."
These sentences were spoken in a language not clear to the people nearby.
[Hehehe~ Muku is really amazing, isn't he~]
[What about the rest of the people?]
[Of course, they will be killed!]
The two jelly-like figures once again turned into transparent liquid and slowly attached to the wall, disappearing.
...
Under the blossoming lovesick tree, peach blossoms fell like stars, in this 'abyss', on the platform, a tree full of peach blossoms created a red coffin, like a sorrowful love.
And the male protagonist of this sorrowful love story beneath the tree was grilling meat.
The thing is, after knowing that his dagger could generate heat, Wang Xiaomei had a brilliant idea to retrieve the vacuum-packed beef and lunch meat, then handed them to Wenheng Jin, who had cleaned the dagger.
Watching it get hotter and hotter, Wang Xiaomei's eyes sparkled, revealing an 'evil' look on his face.
With a 'smack,' the meat was slapped onto the blade of the dagger.
Wenheng Jin: "..."
At that moment, I felt a bit of pity for a dagger.
Dagger: "..." If I could speak, the first thing I'd say is, "Damn it!!!"
Using the chopsticks he made, Wang Xiaomei picked up the hot meat and put it in his mouth.
Mmm, delicious!
He even remembered to feed Wenfeng Jin while eating, and Wenfeng Jin's gentle and beautiful face seemed perplexed as he slightly opened his mouth to eat the meat.
Feeling the heat in his hand, even through the fabric, Wenfeng had a feeling that he was eating away at his own meager conscience.
While eating, Wang Xiaomei didn't forget to be smug.
"Oh, look at how hot the dagger is getting from the heat generated by Wenming! How many bad things have you done?"
"..."
"..."
There are actually people in this world who are so shameless!
Wen Daolao fell silent, and for the first time, he felt that this 'milk dog' was so wicked!
Wenming: I've decided to self-destruct and blow up this dumbass.
After finishing the meat, Wang Xiaomei threw the chopsticks and piled up the messy packaging and canned boxes on the side, grinning as he carefully wiped off the oil stains from Wenming. In Wang Xiaomei's hands, Wenming gradually cooled down.
"You're really a good thing~" Wang Xiaomei looked at the dagger affectionately, and Wenming?
The blade made a buzzing sound, making Wang Xiaomei jump in surprise.
Watching from the side, Wenfeng Jin chuckled, then suddenly he paused, squinted his eyes and looked in a certain direction, the direction where the grave robbers had entered.
And on the outer perimeter was where Mushi and Muku were guarding. Let's not kill them on the first day, what if they don't come in? Wenfeng Jin smiled faintly, tilting his head down.
"Xiaomei."
"Yes?"
Wenfeng Jin softened his eyes, "It's time for us to sleep."
