What made Sivir feel somewhat relieved was that there were no further accidents when the mercenaries subsequently pried open the tomb door.
The trace of black poisonous gas that had previously killed nine mercenaries and escaped under the sun seemed to be just an accident.
When the sun set again, the gate of the mausoleum made of unknown metal was finally chiseled open to a hole about two meters high and one meter wide, just enough for them to enter.
Originally, Xiweier wanted to let his subordinates, who were already very tired after working all day, rest for a night to regain their energy before continuing the exploration.
Unfortunately, the anxious Cassiopeia directly rejected her arrangement and ordered to head directly into the depths of the tomb below.
Out of helplessness and the persuasion of her subordinates, and more for the sake of gold coins, Sivir decided to lead everyone to explore the ancient tomb directly.
When everyone passed through the dug hole one by one, went down the ramp and a flight of stairs until they entered the mausoleum, they were all stunned by the grand scene before them.
Although the sunlight from the ground cannot directly reach here, the inexplicable blue light shining through the wall dispels the darkness of the underground space, making everything in the mausoleum still clearly visible.
Looking around, this huge underground space is dozens of meters high and is made of a large amount of smooth marble and supported by towering pillars with exquisite workmanship.
A huge chain as thick as an arm hangs from the ceiling of the hall, connected to the golden metal gears on the stone pillars, and connected to some secret mechanisms in the mausoleum.
In the passage leading to the deeper hall, countless golden guard statues, more than ten meters high, holding spears and with solemn expressions, stand on both sides, guarding the resting place of Shurima's emperors and ascenders.
How magnificent it is, even more magnificent than the ascended tomb I excavated before!
Xiweier widened her eyes and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Cassiopeia, who followed her down into the underground space, stared at the scene in front of her for a long time, feeling even more excited.
But at this moment, a young man's voice suddenly attracted their attention: "Wow! This thing is gold!"
Sivir's heart trembled, and she and Cassiopeia and everyone else looked towards the source of the sound.
A dark-skinned young man who looked to be about 20 years old was standing in front of the golden soldier statue closest to them.
He pulled a small hammer from his waist and smashed it hard at the statue, trying to knock a piece of gold off it.
A trace of panic flashed across Sivir's face, and she quickly yelled at him, "Idiot! Stop it right now!"
Unfortunately, by the time she reacted and shouted, it was too late.
With a crisp "ding" sound, the metal hammer hit the statue heavily.
The crisp sound, accompanied by the lingering voice of Sivir, reverberated and weakened in the empty hall, spreading to deeper places.
"Huh?" Hearing his boss's roar, the young man turned around in surprise.
Sivir angrily trotted towards the newcomer who had just joined the mercenary group three months ago and had no experience in digging graves, and slapped him in the face.
Snap——
Her force was so great that the young man's face instantly became red and swollen.
"You're the real rat that spoiled the whole bunch! Didn't I teach you before? Don't mess around with anything in the mausoleum!"
The young man covered his face, realized that he had done something wrong, lowered his head and dared not refute a word.
"Sivir, it seems that your training of your men is not adequate." Cassiopeia chuckled from a distance.
"Don't gloat over your misfortune, Miss Du Quochao. Don't forget that we are all on the same page. If anything goes wrong in this exploration of this damn place, it will be your loss."
Sivir's face was gloomy, and she turned her head to warn Cassiopeia in a serious tone.
Then, she looked back at the young man in front of her, her expression stern as she spoke, "From now on, you'd better control your greedy thoughts, or I'll personally deal with you, this burden... Do you understand?"
Seeing him nod quickly, Sivir turned his gaze back to his men, including Cassiopeia's guards, and warned them with suppressed anger:
"I'll only say this once! Everyone must obey my orders. If I tell you to go east, you can't go west. If I tell you to stop, you can't move even one centimeter forward..."
"My warning to Joyce applies to all of you! This concerns your lives... or rather, all of our lives!
"If anyone dares to do anything unauthorized and disobey my orders again, don't blame me for being ruthless... Do you understand?!"
Everyone present was not a fool. No one dared to offend Sivir when she was angry, including Cassiopeia.
Seeing that no one else expressed anything, Xiweier retracted his gaze and said, "Very good."
Then she glanced back at Joyce and said, "Get back to the team now."
After everyone was adjusted and ready, Sivir asked a few of his subordinates who were experienced and good at solving problems with mausoleum mechanisms to explore the hall they were currently in first.
It can only be said that this is worthy of being the tomb of the emperor and the ascenders in the imperial capital. They found no less than 20 deadly mechanisms at the outer entrance alone.
Including but not limited to ground spike traps, wall-flying arrows, giant hanging chain meteor hammers, the black poison gas we saw today, etc.
There was even a very secret magic circle trap that could only be discovered by special means, causing Shiver to lose four more of his capable men.
And this doesn't even include the actual entry into the mausoleum, she lost no less than 10 people.
