"Won't we starve to death a few days from now?"

"We have enough food to last a week. If we run out of food then, we'll eat you, which will keep us going for a while longer."

Ye Qinchuan threatened Yan Jingqing fiercely.

Yan Jingqing became even more frightened upon hearing this; he had seen plenty of stories about cannibalism.

If they really can't get out, it's unlikely that Su Ya will be able to, but this Ye Qinchuan, this ruthless killer, is capable of anything.

"Then, let's hurry up and find the mechanism. I'll go look over there."

Yan Jingqing quickly ran away.

Only then did he truly become afraid of Ye Qinchuan.

Ye Qinchuan watched Yan Jingqing's hurried escape and chuckled to himself, "He's scared away already? With that kind of guts, he still dares to try and steal my wife."

Su Ya looked at Ye Qinchuan and felt that he was very naive. He actually made up such a lie to deceive Yan Jingqing, and she didn't expect that Yan Jingqing would actually believe it.

"Find the mechanism to get out quickly, I don't want to stay with one or two corpses all the time."

"Okay, Ya Ya, I'll go look over there. You look over here, call me if anything happens."

Suya nodded.

Ye Qinchuan saw Su Ya nod before walking in another direction.

Unfortunately, the group searched for a long time but couldn't find it.

In the end, they had no choice but to return to the jade coffin.

If they can't find the mechanism, they will really be trapped here and die.

Yan Jingqing was also a little scared. He suddenly felt dejected and slumped down on the steps next to the jade coffin, pounding the ground. He was really afraid that if he couldn't get out, he would become food for the other two.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound rang out.

Suya was the first to react.

"Get out of here immediately."

Upon hearing this, the other two also quickly left the vicinity of the jade coffin.

Then they saw with their own eyes that a hole had appeared beneath the steps of the jade coffin.

"No wonder we couldn't find it after searching for so long. Who would have thought that the mechanism was tapping the ground of the steps?"

Ye Qinchuan said with a hint of self-deprecation.

I don't know what kind of luck Yan Jingqing has, he encounters both good and bad things.

Su Ya hadn't expected the switch to be here. However, with so many steps leading to the jade coffin, even if she knew the mechanism was here, she might not be able to find it. So, it has to be said, Yan Jingqing was really lucky.

Yan Jingqing hadn't expected that he would actually find the mechanism to get out, meaning he wouldn't have to be food for those two people anymore.

When no more sounds came, Ye Qinchuan walked to the front of the cave and looked down. The cave below was unrepaired and very narrow, only wide enough for one person to crawl in.

Ye Qinchuan was prepared to take the lead himself, but he was somewhat conflicted about who should go second.

Su Ya also saw through Ye Qinchuan's thoughts, so she said, "I'll be third, and let Yan Jingqing walk in the middle."

"Ya Ya, you..."

"That's decided then. Maybe we can still make it for breakfast tomorrow."

Su Ya made a rare joke, so Ye Qinchuan stopped arguing and let her have her way.

"Yan Jingqing, stay close to me."

"Yes, Young Master Ye."

So Ye Qinchuan was the first to crawl down. When he went down, he turned on his phone, followed by Yan Jingqing, and then Su Ya.

The hole looked like it was dug in a hurry; as soon as a few people climbed in, dirt kept falling on them from above.

They seemed to have climbed for a long time before they saw what appeared to be light ahead, and the sound of flowing water.

"Ya Ya, hang in there a little longer, we should be able to get out soon."

The louder the sound of the flowing water, the wider the hole became, and it became easier for them to climb up until they could walk while bending over.

Finally, they reached the edge of the cave.

Then the sound of flowing water grew louder and louder; it turned out that the exit of the cave was a waterfall.

No one would have guessed that the exit of an imperial tomb would be located next to a waterfall.

However, getting out of the waterfall will be quite difficult.

At that moment, Ye Qinchuan heard a static sound coming from his earphones.

Then, "Boss, can you hear me?"

It was Ye Er's voice. Ever since their boss suddenly went missing, Ye Er had been calling out every minute. He had contacted Ye Yi and asked him to send people over.

"Ye Er, it's me."

"Boss, I can finally hear your voice."

Ye Er said excitedly.

Ye Qinchuan had never found Ye Er's voice so pleasant to hear.

"Ye Er, can you pinpoint my location now?"

"Boss, give me five minutes."

"good."

Ye Er quickly contacted his elder brother to locate their leader's position.

Upon hearing this, Ye immediately instructed the technicians to begin locating the location.

Five minutes later, they had pinpointed Ye Qinchuan's location precisely. However, the location was somewhat unusual; according to the map, it was beneath a waterfall. Ye Yi told Ye Er about this.

Five minutes later, Ye Er contacted Ye Qinchuan. "Boss, are you guys under a waterfall?"

"right."

"Yes, boss. Send men down to provide backup immediately. Is anyone injured?"

Ye Er asked carefully.

"No, you can just send someone down."

Ye Er organized a group of people with equipment to locate the top of the waterfall. Then, some people with ropes and equipment went down to the bottom of the waterfall. This was the only way they could do it. The waterfall was located in a valley and was affected by air currents, so helicopters could not stop there.

They had to come down, then cross the waterfall, and then bring the people up again.

Ye Er, not trusting his boss, was the first to step down.

Breaking through the waterfall wasn't easy; they were pushed back by the current several times. They could only swing back and forth like on a swing, trying to get themselves into the waterfall.

The waterfall stung his face, but Ye Er couldn't care less. His only wish now was to see his boss as soon as possible.

After trying countless times, I finally succeeded.

Ye Er rushed into the waterfall and tugged on the rope, signaling his safe arrival. Then they continued lowering the rope.

Ye Er slowly descended, and after a few meters, he saw a hole.

And standing there at the entrance of the cave was his boss.

Ye Er almost burst into tears.

God knows how he got through those few hours without news of his boss.

"Boss, I've finally found you."

Ye Er saw Ye Qinchuan rush forward.

But Ye Qinchuan grabbed her, looking at her with a disgusted expression.

Ye Er knew he looked quite disheveled. But he was simply too excited.

"You're the only one who came down?"

Ye Qinchuan asked.

"No, the others came too, but it's too difficult to break through the waterfall. I reckon they're still swaying outside."

"Then let's wait."

Ye Qinchuan said.

Only after calming down did Ye Er notice the bandage on his boss's hand.

"Boss, how did you get hurt?"
