"General, it's inside!"
"This passage must have been dug by bandits. Inside is a stone chamber. I can't tell what era it is from."
Gong Qiu explained the instructions to Lin Che while leading the way.
There were more than a dozen guards in front and behind, each holding a weapon in one hand and a torch in the other, and they were cautious and on full alert.
They didn't have much experience exploring places like this, but the unknown was terrifying. After all, there were many rumors that there were living dead in certain ancient tombs, and that corpses could be resurrected, which was quite creepy.
After entering the passage, we arrived at the stone chamber. It was very dry inside, and there was a smell in the air that had been sealed for a long time.
"Be careful and hold your breath."
Lin Che opened his mouth to remind them that the air in ancient tombs is often poisonous.
For warriors like them, not breathing for an hour or two is fine, and they will avoid it if possible.
The stone chamber was small, and a dozen guards searched it thoroughly without finding anything valuable. There were some carvings on the stone walls, but they were so damaged that the contents were unclear.
"There are two more stone doors here." Gong Qiu pointed to two obviously different walls not far away.
There was no need for Lin Che to do it himself at this time, as the guards had already started thinking of a solution.
After struggling for a while and still unable to find the mechanism, he simply used his true energy to forcibly break open the stone door.
Boom!!
Both stone doors were broken open, revealing two corridors in different directions.
"Separately look around."
Lin Che gave the order to split up and act.
He led a few people along the left side, and let Gong Qiu lead the rest to walk along the corridor on the right.
Entering along the corridor, the atmosphere was a bit eerie, but Lin Che was skilled and courageous, and Yu Huadian was going to walk in front to explore the way, so there was no need to worry.
Along the way, we found a few strange poisonous insects, all of which were killed by swatting them from mid-air.
At the end of the corridor is a larger stone chamber, or it would be more appropriate to say a hall.
"Master, we found something up ahead. It's a few coffins."
Under the light of the torches, several coffins were seen arranged in the hall. In front of the hall, there were several steps, on which was placed a special coffin.
The guards took a look around and found nothing unusual.
Lin Che was not interested. It seemed that this was just an ordinary ancient tomb. There was nothing strange about it. At most, there were some burial objects in the coffin.
If you want to compare it with the imperial tomb in the Dagantian capital, it is definitely a world away.
"Open the coffin and take a look."
Boom boom boom.
The coffins were opened one by one, revealing skeletons lying inside. Furthermore, even the skeletons no longer resembled complete human remains, but were broken into pieces.
The burial objects were rusty weapons.
Based on the principle of "keeping it for the deceased", Lin Che naturally asked the guards to take away all the burial objects.
Finally, they opened the special coffin on the stairs, and inside lay a skeleton. But when Lin Che saw the posture of the corpse, he couldn't help but frown.
The skeleton seemed to be lying down, but one hand was raised, and its index finger seemed to be embedded in the coffin lid.
Lin Che looked at the inner wall of the coffin lid and found it blurry and blood-stained. The words written on it should be: [Humans and demons have different paths, heaven is unfair].
"Could it be that this person was not dead when he lay in the coffin?"
Although Lin Che had questions in her mind, it was impossible for her to know the answers.
Moreover, there was not even a single burial object in this coffin.
The guards were very careful and even moved the coffin. They knocked on every wall and found no secret mechanisms or compartments.
"General, General——"
At this time, a guard's voice came from the corridor: "General, Lieutenant General Gong has discovered some ore. It seems that it can be used to forge weapons. Lieutenant General Gong wants you to go over and take a look."
"good."
Since there was nothing to discover here anyway, Lin Che simply followed.
The path Gong Qiu chose seemed to lead to the main hall, and it became wider and wider as he walked. After a while, he found that the surrounding walls had turned into natural stone layers.
This place is like a natural cave, and the words you speak have an echo.
"General, you're here. Look, we've really found a treasure! These stones are top-quality materials for forging weapons."
Gong Qiu was overjoyed. Seeing Lin Che coming, he quickly went to greet her.
Although Lin Che didn't know anything about forging, he could tell that these stones were definitely worth a fortune. There were still a lot of bones in the cave, and judging by their positions, they must have dug for the stones in their lifetime.
There were also rusty hoes, baskets that broke at the touch, and even pots, pans, and bedding piled on the ground. These bones must have lived here for a period of time when they were alive.
"It seems that the most valuable things in this ancient tomb are these forging materials."
Although everyone in the current Shenji Camp is equipped with a full set of equipment and weapons, it would certainly be better if they could be equipped with better weapons.
Besides, once this trade route is opened, these materials can definitely be sold to Yanyun State.
You can also stay and forge your own weapons.
Anyway, no matter what, it's the same path.
"Pass the order down and move all these stone mines away and empty them."
"yes--"
It wasn't long before the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion filed in. Even if the casting ore was hard, it wouldn't be a problem for such an energetic group.
By noon, we saw soldiers carrying large pieces of stones out.
If viewed from high above, the Shenji Camp at this moment looked like ants that had found food, densely packed together.
