Chapter 23Surprise (1/2)



Although Fatty Wang was in a miserable state just now, his words still helped to ease the tense atmosphere. A thin man teased him:

"Doesn't this prove that your Northern School was powerful and famous in the past? The tomb owner was afraid of running into a trap designed by your Northern School."

Fatty Wang cursed out of annoyance, but when he saw that someone was talking frankly, he immediately forgot about what happened and proudly repeated his identity as a tomb-raiding lieutenant.

After a few more jokes, everyone dispersed around the coffin again. After what happened to Fatty Wang just now, everyone was on edge. No matter what danger there was, the surrounding burial objects were all exquisite. The stuff in the coffin was quite eye-catching.

Jiang Shaomu stretched out his hand and put his hand against the coffin lid. Even through his gloves, he could feel the coolness emanating from the coffin lid, which Zhang Qiling had just confirmed was an alloy of silver, iron and copper.

Seeing that nothing happened when he touched it directly, several people who felt safe came forward and surrounded the coffin. They stretched out their hands to find a way to open the coffin. After fumbling for three minutes, they were sure that the coffin was welded shut.

Some people took off their gloves and tried to find a way out. The warmth from their hands was transmitted to the coffin lid, and the four large tiles on both sides of the wide edge suddenly shattered.

The two people who didn't react in time were penetrated by a slender snake that crawled out from the cracks in the floor tiles in front of everyone. In less than 30 seconds, they vomited blood and fell to the ground without a sound.

In addition to Nan Xia and Bei Ya, Liang Yu only invited three people in total. Two of them died as soon as they came in. The remaining one looked at the body of one of them with an ugly expression. It can be seen that they should be companions.

But he didn't dare to go forward and take a look at his companion's body, after all, the poisonous insect was still in the body.

The remaining people, even Jiang Shaomu, did not show any surprise towards the dead. After all, there would be dead people in the tomb. When Jiang Shaomu came to this world, he was already prepared to face everything.

Seeing that the man was still hesitating, Jiang Shaomu:

"I can help you deal with it when we get out of the tomb, so you can take the body with you."

The man relaxed his expression and nodded gratefully at Jiang Shaomu.

Fortunately, the entrance to the next tomb chamber that Jiang Shaomu expected was not located directly inside the coffin.

As several people were carefully looking for the mechanism around, the lucky Fatty Wang stepped on a collapsed floor tile.

When the "click" sound came, Jiang Shaomu saw the disbelief on Fatty Wang's face, "A whole floor tile collapsed right in the middle?"

"It's not an offensive mechanism." Jiang Shaomu said.

Watching Zhang Qiling approach Fatty Wang and quickly pull him away, after the floor tiles were restored, the bricks next to them shattered, revealing a deep underground cave.

"Fat brother, your luck is really amazing. I have nothing to say." Jiang Shaomu said.

In the original novel, Fatty Wang was basically always with Wu Xie. Wu Xie was so weird that everyone subconsciously ignored the fact that Fatty Wang also encountered similar setbacks in terms of mechanisms.

Fatty Wang smiled proudly and replied: "My luck is incredible. Look, can't we go to the next tomb now?"

Hei Xia Zi and Jiang Shaomu gave Fatty Wang a thumbs up, which made him even more proud.

The ground was not big, and two people could barely squeeze through, but it would affect their mobility, so in the end only Zhang Qiling was allowed to go down first.

Jiang Shaomu took out a bunch of flash sticks from his bag and threw them to the ground. Two seconds later, there was a sound of them falling to the ground. The faint fluorescence emitted by the flash sticks illuminated the ground. Hei Xiazi looked over there and saw:

"Yes, it can go down. It's solid underneath."

After waiting for a few more seconds and seeing no creature startled by the sound of the falling flash stick, Zhang Qiling jumped down without hesitation. He landed very lightly and made almost no sound.

However, there was a rustling noise below. Now they were no longer worried that the strong light would alarm some creatures, and they used high-power flashlights to directly illuminate the surroundings of Zhang Qiling.

It was a blue ocean, composed of tiny fluorescent insects. After being exposed to the strong light, they became more restless, but they did not dare to move forward due to Zhang Qiling's bloodline.
