Chapter 396: Sudden Appearance, Scared by Su Yun! (7)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“The oxygen is almost used up, so we have to return to the ground first.”

This news made Chen Ye and Xu Kui look at each other and frown. It seemed that things were not going as smoothly as they had imagined. Although everyone had already returned to the ground, they did not give up on investigating at all. Soon, they sat not far from the entrance of the tomb and discussed.

“We’ve already checked in detail just now. There aren’t any grooves or traces of triggerable mechanisms. Therefore, there should only be two possibilities. The first possibility was that the trigger point of this mechanism was in a place that we could not touch. The second possibility was that this mechanism had not been set up to trigger at all. However, I personally prefer the first. After all, the person who built this tomb back then also needed to enter and leave.”

Professor Cai analyzed the current situation very professionally. This analysis was quickly agreed by the others.

“I think Professor Cai is right. The first possibility should be the most reasonable at the moment. Although the passageway is very narrow, it’s about four meters high. Is there a possibility of a trigger mechanism being set up above our heads?”

Chen Jie recalled her observation when she was searching in the tomb tunnel just now. Her point of view had become the most reasonable explanation at the moment.

“But even so, we can’t carry a ladder in. Everyone can see how narrow this passageway is. Even if the clothes we wear are slightly thicker, it’s very difficult to walk in. This passageway should have been deliberately modified. Both sides are filled with stones, which is completely inconsistent with the volume that can be formed by lifting it high.”

Master Gu sat at the side very dejectedly. He lowered his head and could not muster any energy. However, what he said was very reasonable. The tomb path that had been deliberately modified was to avoid those who came later being able to easily enter.

These questions had been bothering them, but they could not find a solution for the time being. Even if they could guess that the hidden trough that triggered the mechanism might appear above their heads, what could they do?

They could not carry any climbing tools down, and there was no force on the smooth wall. Not to mention archeologists, even well-trained soldiers could not do anything to enter. This difficult problem was placed in front of everyone, making them feel more and more depressed.

After discussing it for a while, they still could not come up with any effective solution. Naturally, it made them even more anxious. Even the professional archeological team found it difficult to come to any effective conclusions. As laymen, Xu Kui and Chen Ye naturally could not interrupt.

Even so, they naturally could not give up such an opportunity. It was not easy

for them to find Chi You’s Tomb. They could not possibly not enter just because

of a solid wall, right?

Recalling that there were still a few forks in the tomb path in front of the stone wall, because they could not be sure where these forks led, the archeological team did not go deep into the forks.

Therefore, they could not think of any other way. They could only place their hopes on these forks. Perhaps there was another way to enter the tomb.

After equipping the oxygen tank again, the team set off into the tomb again. However, after entering the tomb, they did not choose the path that led to the stone wall. Instead, they entered a fork.

After really walking into this fork, everyone quickly realized that something was wrong. These forks were meandering and would split into many forks. If they kept walking along these forks, they would probably quickly lose their way.

Moreover, the materials used to build the tomb seemed to be mixed with something special, causing all the technological instruments to malfunction after entering the tomb. The archeological team could not find the right direction through the compass, so they naturally did not dare to go too deep into the tomb.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

During this period of time, Professor Cai seemed to have suddenly heard something. Then, he was stunned and pressed his ear to the wall for a few seconds. Then, he looked at them and asked in confusion, “Did you guys hear any footsteps?”

They were stunned when they heard this. They hurriedly listened, but they did not find anything. “Professor, did you hear wrongly?” They could not help but shake their heads. This was an ancient tomb. There was no one around. Where did the footsteps come from?

“Is that so? Perhaps I’m hallucinating. It’s too quiet here.” Professor Cai was puzzled, and everyone thought that Professor Cai had heard wrongly and did not pay much attention.

A moment later, Professor Sun and the others finally returned to the main road after circling around. What greeted their eyes was still the stone wall that made them helpless. For a moment, everyone sat down in the narrow tomb tunnel exhausted. The sound of long sighs could be heard from time to time.

“What should we do now? The soil environment here is very complicated. Ordinary explosive methods won’t work here at all. Could it be that we have found the tomb of Chi You but are going to waste all our efforts because of this stone wall?”

Master Gu’s frustrated voice sounded. Although his words were a little low, they were indeed true.

Professor Sun and Professor Cai still did not give up. They were still looking for all the places where trigger mechanisms might be hidden. Although according to their previous guess, the trigger mechanism was very likely to exist above their heads, they really could not verify this guess without any tools at this height..
