Lin Chuchu's face twisted in pain. She took a deep breath and turned her head away, intending not to look at her.

Some people are truly handsome, like Mu Chen and Chen Long, but Liu Er is ugly without realizing it. His looks are the kind that no one wants to look at a second time, yet he is still very narcissistic.

Lin Chuchu gave the group a strange look, including Chen Long. She felt something was off. Could something have happened while she was sleeping?

Lin Chuchu shook her head. She didn't care about other people's business; she just wanted to go back safely and see her family and children.

Anticipating that Lin Chuchu wouldn't be of much help, the three kidnappers continued to study the stone gate.

Lin Chuchu leaned closer to Chen Long and asked, "With your abilities, can you take down Liu Er?"

Chen Long's face was tense, but his eyes couldn't hide his shock.

"Comrade Lin, you're not planning to take action against them, are you?"

"Even when I wasn't injured, I might not be able to beat him, let alone now?"

Chen Long chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Lin Chuchu looked grave. "But... we can't let them take our national treasures away. We must find an opportunity to kill them."

Lin Chuchu's eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent.

Chen Long glanced at her, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay! Let's act together if we have the chance."

The two whispered and discussed their plan, and the trio finally made a discovery.

Something must have gone right, because with a loud bang, the stone gate slowly shrank back upwards.

Not only were the trio overjoyed, but even Lin Chuchu and Chen Long were visibly excited.

Lin Chuchu was purely curious; it was her first time entering an ancient tomb.

This time, the kidnappers didn't let Chen Long go first.

Liu Er was in the first position, Chen Long was in the second, Lin Chuchu was in the third, and behind them were the eldest and the third eldest.

Liu Er excitedly looked left and right ahead, and after passing through a tunnel, the view suddenly opened up in front of him.

At that moment, Liu Er stood still, motionless.

The kidnapper leader panicked, "Liu Er, why are we stopping? What's that ahead?"

Could it be gold and silver jewelry? Liu Ercai was incredibly excited.

Liu Er took a long time to answer, his voice trembling almost imperceptibly.

"Boss, there's a burial pit ahead, full of corpses, so many..."

Buried alive with the enemy? The crowd's excitement was suddenly dampened.

Liu Er stepped aside to let the people behind him see the situation in front of him clearly.

Everyone gasped in shock, and Lin Chuchu hid behind Chen Long in fright.

The burial pit was very deep, and the bottom was covered with corpses, including pigs, cattle, sheep, and humans.

The bodies were like dried corpses, not completely decomposed.

With a ferocious expression, it was clear he had died a gruesome death.

Not only was Lin Chuchu so frightened that her legs went weak, but everyone else was also terrified.

"Boss, are we going to fall into a pit? Let's go back, it's scary. Maybe we can get out of where we fell."

Despite his large size and willingness to die with explosives, Liu Er is actually quite timid, especially afraid of ghosts.

After going down into the pit, wouldn't we have to crawl over those dried-out corpses?

Just thinking about that feeling made Lin Chuchu feel nauseous, and she leaned against the wall and started to retch.

The others also looked grim. The kidnapper leader's face was stiff, his mind filled with conflict. Perhaps the gold and silver treasures were just ahead; should they just give up like this?

After a long silence, Chen Long said, "I've observed it just now. There's nothing to support us where we came down, so it'll be too difficult to climb back up."

Without any support and with quicksand, how can I climb up?

The kidnapper leader gritted his teeth and finally decided to go down into the pit.

Despair filled Lin Chuchu's eyes as she shook her head desperately. "Just kill me! I won't go down there, it's too disgusting. Wouldn't killing me complete your mission?"

She'd rather die than climb that terrifying and eerie mountain of corpses. She's giving up; she'd rather die.

Liu Er plopped down on the ground, saying, "I'm not going down. You can go down if you want. I'd rather starve to death here."

At this moment, Lin Chuchu and Liu Er reached an agreement for the first time.

Tears welled up in her eyes; she was almost about to burst into tears.

The leader's expression was somewhat stiff as he considered whether forcing the two men at gunpoint would make them leave.

Sensing the eldest brother's inner struggle, the third brother, who was carrying him on his back, gently squeezed his arm.

"Let's take a look around and see if there are any lights we can turn on, and what the environment is like. If all else fails, I'll go down myself."

"Boss," he said through gritted teeth.

But these words did nothing to encourage anyone. Lin Chuchu had completely given up, and Liu Er sat there motionless.

They placed the injured third brother next to the two of them, while the kidnapper leader and Chen Long watched from the sidelines.

Soon, Chen Long touched something that looked like a candlestick embedded in the wall.

Chen Long took out a lighter from his pocket and tried to light the candlestick.

Only when it was lit did he see what the candlesticks on the wall looked like.

He withdrew his hand in alarm; it was a candlestick shaped like a baby, with the wick at the top.

The sensation he had just felt made him unsure if it was real.

No one paid attention to Chen Long's unusual behavior. The candles were lit and then spread outwards one by one.

The thumping sound kept ringing out, just as loud as a human heartbeat.

A gasp escaped someone's lips; the candlelight wasn't a normal yellow glow, but rather had a bluish tint.

The entire space is circular, narrowing towards the top, much like the shape of a well opening.

The lights all around were on, and the flames moved automatically without wind, just like the colored lights on a Christmas tree, with a light every certain distance.
