Ivan and Sasha rushed into the corridor without triggering any traps, but the table full of jewels had completely driven them mad.

At this moment, their minds were completely filled with desire, and they became like wild beasts.

I did not stop this looting, or rather, human greed is beyond my control.

If I want to continue using them, I can only try my best to appease these two people and let them get enough benefits.

I came to Hu Shahu's tomb to find Duan Jinyan. I also know that the gold and silver jewelry on the table is far less valuable than the burial goods in the tomb. Since they don't mind the weight and are willing to carry it, let them carry it.

However, this incident also served as a wake-up call for me due to my lack of experience. If I were to go into a tomb again in the future, I would never bring someone who is so difficult to control.

While the two were scrambling for the treasure, I shone my flashlight into the depths of the corridor.

This is a T-junction, with a road on each of the left and right sides. Next to each entrance, there is a line of text written in Jurchen script and regular script, respectively.

On the left is written, “Be content with your lot, do not pursue other matters, and leave quickly.”

On the right is the inscription: "Those who trespass into the imperial bedchamber and are insatiably greedy will be punished by the gods and spirits."

The two lines of text are written in almost vernacular Chinese. Just as Ashiyi set up the little devil to pass through the stele forest for his purpose, if the feng shui master who enters can come here, it means that the other party still has some ability. And the jewels on the table are the "hardship fee" that Ashiyi left for the feng shui master.

If those who come in give up and leave with the money, they can leave this place through the road on the left. Although it is unknown what is in that passage, it is likely that they can get around the tomb. Of course, it is also possible that it is a "burial tomb" prepared for them by Ashiyi.

On the right is the passage leading to the tomb, where the phrase "May the gods and demons punish him" fully expresses Ashiyi's anger.

I stood at the intersection and shone my flashlight to both sides. I found that the passage on the left was an upward staircase, while the passage on the right was a downward passage, dark and bottomless.

I surveyed the terrain briefly, and seeing that Sasha and Ivan each had a bundle of jewelry hidden in their coats, I said to Zhou Peng, "Tell them to stop. We're about to set off."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Peng turned around and began to speak to the two of them. But as he spoke, I sensed something was amiss, because all I had to say was to tell them to set off, while Zhou Peng went on to say four or five sentences.

"Splash!"

Just as I was about to stop Zhou Peng, Sasha suddenly rolled up the slide and pointed the gun at me.

Seeing Sasha's actions, Song Laosan also raised his gun: "Hey! Bachemu (Why)?"

In an instant, Monkey, Song Laosan, Sasha, and Ivan all raised their guns and faced each other.

I saw Zhou Peng stand next to the two of them and sensed something was wrong. I asked in a deep voice, "Zhou Peng, what did you say to them?"

"Mr. Duan, I just don't want to die!"

With a gun pointed at him, Zhou Peng trembled slightly: "I can read the words on the wall. The left is the only way out of here. Since we can get out alive, why should we risk our lives with you? Sasha and Ivan have already gotten enough treasure, and there's still so much left. As long as you're willing to take the left path, I don't want anything. I'll give you all the remaining treasure!"

"You're talking fucking nonsense!"

Hearing Zhou Peng's words, the monkey gritted his teeth in anger: "You need to understand your position in the team. You're all just doing your jobs for money. Only we have the right to decide where we go, understand?"

Sasha and Ivan saw the monkey's excited appearance and shouted something loudly, but without Zhou Peng's translation, we couldn't communicate at all.

Zhou Peng trembled violently, whether from fear or excitement: "Sasha and Ivan have acquired enough wealth, and they are no longer planning to continue adventuring with you, including me! Now there is no leader in this group, only those who want to survive!"

I saw the ferocity in Ivan and Sasha's eyes and knew they had made up their minds. If we forced them to take the right-hand path, these two would definitely fight us to the death.

Thinking this through, I took a deep breath: "We have no conflict of interest, and I don't object to you leaving with the treasure. Since you've decided to leave, I have nothing to say. From now on, we'll go our separate ways. You go to the left, and we'll go to the right. We won't interfere with each other, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Peng said a few words to Sasha and the others, then nodded and said, "No problem, we'll do it your way!"

"Third Master, Monkey! Let's go!"

Seeing that Sasha and Ivan both nodded, I called out and led the two of them back to the passage on the right.

When Sasha and Ivan saw us retreat, they raised their guns and confronted us, slowly walking towards another exit.

The monkey, who was beside me, asked in a low voice, "Young Master Duan, are you really going to let them go like this?"

“They came with us to make money, and now that they’ve achieved that goal, keeping them around would be too risky.”

I slowly backed away and spoke my mind: "Zhou Peng has always wanted to leave the team, but Sasha and Ivan chose to stay for the money, so he had no choice but to stay with us. Now that Sasha and Ivan have gotten what they wanted, and the environment in the tomb is indeed oppressive, it's better to let them leave since they've already decided to leave. Our goal is to find Duan Jinyan, so we need to minimize conflict before that."

As I spoke, I stepped back to the right-hand exit and said to Zhou Peng, "As the saying goes, those who have different views cannot make plans together. Since we have made different choices, let's part ways here!"

After listening to me, Zhou Peng said something to Sasha, and then the three of them seemed to retreat.

I saw them move, so I took a step back and entered the passage on the right.

As soon as I stepped into the passage, I felt the floor tiles sink. My first thought was that I had triggered a mechanism, and I immediately tackled Monkey and Song Laosan to the ground.

"Thump!"

I had just crouched down when I heard a muffled thud in front of me, followed by a scream.

Looking up, he saw a huge boulder had fallen into the passage opposite him, and Ivan was trapped underneath it, one of his legs crushed into a pulp.

It then dawned on me that both passages must have been equipped with traps, all designed to shut down the passage to the other side.

Just as the words on the wall say, "Greed is insatiable, and the gods and demons will punish you." If those inside the passage are still not satisfied after obtaining the treasure, their way out will be completely blocked.

When we were traversing the porcelain bottle, Ivan and Sasha knew I was skilled in mechanical arts. Ivan, trapped under the falling rocks, assumed I had tampered with it and immediately pointed his gun at me, yelling, "Sukabul, Febutibianahu! (Damn it, I'm going to kill you!)"
