Chapter 731 Giant Spider
Fortunately, people like these few are ultimately a minority.
At first, no one realized what was happening, but when He Ziyuan and the others rushed over, everyone belatedly realized what these people were doing and hurriedly went to help.
After some effort, the stone door finally had a little more time to fall. Captain Liu and the others who were responsible for covering the rear rushed forward and slid directly into the stone chamber through the gap under the stone door before the stone door completely fell.
Several black insects followed them in, but the group reacted quickly, either shooting them or using whatever tools they had on hand to beat and stomp them flat.
Fortunately, these insects are terrifying when they gather together, but their fighting power is relatively weak when they are alone.
Before long, it was completely cleaned up by the crowd.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. A few of the more timid ones even collapsed to the ground, panting heavily to process their hard-won escape from death.
Just then, several figures suddenly got up from the ground and headed straight for the young men who had been fiddling with the mechanism and lowered the stone door in advance.
Bang--
These young people are called "talented individuals," but in reality, they have only learned some skills that are slightly better than those of ordinary people. In terms of skill, how could they be a match for the trained fighters brought by Captain Liu?
In just a few rounds, the group was beaten black and blue, completely powerless to fight back.
Some people who were unaware of the truth frowned, wanting to say something, but were pulled back by those around them, who explained what the group had done.
Those who were initially upset about these people assaulting others for no reason immediately shut up.
A person's character is best revealed in a life-or-death situation. Everyone who participated in this event knew that the elites that Captain Liu brought were, frankly speaking, there to help protect them, the weaklings.
Just like the sudden incident, because of the rearguard action, the group suffered the most casualties.
These idiots enjoy the protection of others, but in the end they stab people in the back. Anyone with a little conscience would find their actions unbearable.
Not to mention, they are still on the same team as me. Who knows if something else happens soon and I will be the one who is abandoned or even pushed out as a shield?
Anyone in the group with a modicum of vigilance subconsciously narrowed their eyes, trying to remember the faces of these individuals so they could avoid them in the future.
Captain Liu neither took action nor stopped the attack.
Knowing the severity of these tasks, he led a team of carefully trained core members, brothers who had risked their lives for him.
The loss of their brothers was already heartbreaking enough, and this added insult to injury, it's not just his brothers who are suffering, even he himself is seething with anger, wishing he could personally kill them.
However, as the team leader, it was inconvenient and inappropriate for him to make such a move.
After they had beaten them up enough, Captain Liu said in a not-so-stern voice, "Alright, stop hitting them."
The group then stopped fighting. One or two hot-blooded individuals were still somewhat dissatisfied, but they were persuaded by those around them: "Alright, alright, stop fighting. If you kill them, we'll have to collect their bodies. It's such a hassle."
"What a load of crap, just throw them out to feed the bugs and be done with it."
"Enough! What are you saying!"
While it's true that these people deserved to be beaten, if it really resulted in someone dying, the situation would be completely different.
The man realized he had said the wrong thing and reluctantly shut his mouth, but his eyes were still coldly fixed on the group, as if he wanted to kill them with his gaze.
Several young people suffered and were beaten until their heads looked like pigs. They finally waited until the group stopped, and they originally intended to argue with them, but when they met the group's wolfish gazes, they instantly cowered.
Feeling resentful, they turned to the association members who had come with them for help, only to find that they also looked unhappy and had no intention of standing up for them. In fact, they were glaring at them with disgust.
How could these people look happy? They originally disapproved of these half-baked members coming to join in the fun, but unfortunately, the Human Association had powerful backers.
Even if they fall from power, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse; they are not to be trifled with by these small fry.
As it turned out, they pulled this stunt as soon as they walked in, making them lose face completely.
Although they weren't involved in what just happened, everyone knew they came from the same place and were now on the same team, so naturally they were all considered to be a group.
Just a moment ago, they had already sensed the change in how people around them treated them. It was easy to imagine how isolated they would be because of these idiots after today.
Even after all this, you still want to stand up for them? They're not crazy!
Although they had entered the stone chamber, the tomb was fraught with danger, and no one knew what other dangers might be lurking inside.
The people who were beaten are gone, and it's not worth wasting their energy paying attention to them anymore.
What everyone was really concerned about was how to get out.
"Mr. Qi, your sect has experience in tomb raiding. Where are we now? What should we do next?"
The man, also known as Mr. Qi, was a middle-aged man in his early forties with dark skin, a somewhat thin build, and a very capable appearance.
He stepped forward and touched the walls around the tomb chamber, whispering, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the front chamber."
What is meant by an anterior burial chamber?
"It is a side chamber tomb outside the main burial chamber, used to mislead others."
"So this isn't the main burial chamber?"
"It should be, but structurally speaking, the main burial chamber should not be far from here. It could also be somewhere behind these walls."
This was undoubtedly good news for everyone, because the main purpose of their visit was to find out the identity of the tomb's owner and whether there were any harmful things hidden inside.
"How can we get to the main burial chamber?"
"I'll have to look into this further."
As soon as Mr. Qi finished speaking, everyone heard a cracking sound, and the floor of the tomb chamber suddenly shook, startling everyone.
"What happened? Was it an earthquake?"
"No way, is an earthquake going to bury us all here?"
"No, it's not an earthquake! Look at the floor beneath your feet!"
The shouts from the people nearby made the group standing in the center of the tomb instinctively look down, only to find that they were standing on a round platform painted with exquisite patterns.
The reason the tomb floor shook just now seems to be because of the spot they stepped on... something's not right?
The people on the platform hurriedly retreated, but it was too late.
The tremors inside the stone chamber continued, and at the same time, the ceiling above the stone chamber suddenly opened up to both sides.
Above the large hole, a furry animal limb stretched out.
As the hole grew larger, everyone was finally able to see the true face of the owner of the beast's limb.
It was a giant spider, two or three meters long!
