Lan Yao hummed in agreement, gently tickled Gu Zixiao's palm, and smiled softly at him.
The two jumped down together as if by telepathy, the wind whistling past their ears, only tickling their faces.
The two were incredibly strong and agile, landing quickly and easily. Compared to the disheveled state of the others, they truly displayed the demeanor of masters.
Gu Zixiao couldn't bear to look at his old comrades anymore. He said, "They're not usually like this. Maybe they're acting a bit strange today."
Lan Yao gave a confused "oh" and began to look around.
The pit was very large and deep. As soon as Lan Yao reached the bottom, she smelled a rather unpleasant odor.
"Do you smell anything unpleasant?" Lan Yao asked Gu Zixiao.
Gu Zixiao asked carefully, then said somewhat uncertainly, "There are indeed some."
Lan Yao: "To avoid safety issues causing problems for us, it's best to hold your breath if you can."
Lan Yao said that she had already stopped breathing.
Although she's an ordinary person, she's not exactly an ordinary person either. She can certainly hold her breath, a skill she's quite adept at.
Of course, if she could, she would also have air purifiers, but with so many people around, Lan Yao didn't want to take them out.
Gu Zixiao nodded. After thinking for a moment, he took out two masks he had made himself from his backpack and handed one to Lan Yao.
Lan Yao naturally took it and put it on her face.
Gu Zixiao followed suit and put it on as well.
After confirming that he and his wife were wearing masks, he said to the person in charge, "For safety's sake, everyone should try to hold their breath before putting on their masks. If you have difficulty holding your breath, try to avoid taking in too much air."
His last sentence was practically a direct reference to those newcomers.
Those newcomers weren't stupid, but as they progressed along the way, they more or less realized the gap between themselves and Lan Yao and the others.
Their attitude was naturally no longer as arrogant as before.
However, they were still somewhat unconvinced.
Upon hearing this, the person in charge nodded. The other elderly people didn't even need the person in charge to tell them what to do. The moment Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao put on their masks, some of the more clever ones had already pulled out masks from their backpacks and put them on.
People like them who are often away from home prepare masks all year round.
Sometimes they wear them on their faces.
After all, their production of items like gas masks is still not keeping up with demand.
Otherwise, they would have used that.
After the group was ready, the person in charge finally spoke up and asked, "Have you found anything? I mean, the entrance."
The large tomb was discovered in this deep pit, but it later disappeared.
It has been almost three days since those people disappeared.
So, right now, time is really tight and the task is heavy.
After the other elderly people and other leaders finished speaking, they began to use their own methods to determine the entrance to the tomb.
Seeing that the veterans were getting the hang of it, the newcomers naturally didn't want to fall behind and started trying to find the entrance in their own way.
Lan Yao and Gu Zixiao stood to the side, not just standing there doing nothing.
Instead, Lan Yao pulled Gu Zixiao around and then pointed in a direction, asking Gu Zixiao to poke something in that direction.
Gu Zixiao instantly understood Lan Yao's meaning. He casually picked up a wooden stick and poked it in front of his left, only to find that the stick seemed to be blocked by something.
"A discovery?"
Gu Zixiao nodded. "There's something ahead."
Lan Yao: "You must see this kind of thing quite often, right?"
Gu Zixiao: "Of course."
That's all too common.
It's a domain formed by eerie energy, which conveniently hides the real entrance.
It's just that some of their more experienced older folks used to be able to spot it easily.
This time, I underestimated them.
Gu Zixiao then said to the person in charge, "My wife found something here."
Gu Zixiao would never steal credit from his own wife.
Upon hearing this, the person in charge quickly came over and asked, "Where?"
Gu Zixiao handed the wooden stick in her hand to the person in charge and pointed to the front of her, "Try poking it forward."
The person in charge still had a lot of faith in Gu Zixiao.
Therefore, whatever he says to do, he will naturally do.
So, the person in charge followed Gu Zixiao's advice and poked forward, and sure enough, he poked something.
It felt more like a thin film, a feeling he was very familiar with.
So the person in charge quickly called everyone over.
After everyone learned that this place could reopen the entrance to the great tomb, some of them who were skilled in this kind of thing stepped forward.
In no time, the entrance to the tomb was opened, and the heavy dampness, fishy smell, bloody stench, and lingering chill of the surroundings lingered for a long time.
Lan Yao: "It seems that things are indeed a bit serious."
Of course, for someone like her who's seen this kind of thing all the time, it's a piece of cake.
Gu Zixiao nodded in agreement: "That's true to some extent."
Others: ...
Is it really okay for you two to say things like that?
They just felt cold, strange, and difficult to deal with.
The person in charge was relieved to hear what the couple said.
After the higher-ups learned about this incident, they urgently transferred Gu Zixiao over to help.
As long as Gu Zixiao is there, there will definitely be no problem.
As for Lan Yao, those above also knew how capable she was.
She was the one responsible for bringing up the rear.
Of course, it's just a large tomb; sending two powerful individuals together would be a waste of their talents.
However, as the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Now that they had found the entrance, they naturally wanted to see what was inside.
Keep in mind that quite a few of them are still missing.
I don't know if those people who were trapped there for those days actually survived.
As a result, many people went inside with such a heavy heart.
Lan Yao and Gu Zixiao were responsible for bringing up the rear, walking at the very back.
Lan Yao's spiritual power has been released. The tomb is very large and has some intricate details.
It's quite a place to visit, and there are many treasures inside.
Lan Yao moved her fingers, wanting to collect them all.
But thinking about it, it's a bit too unfair.
So, she only lost some things that looked expensive and beautiful; everything else remained unchanged.
As for those trapped, several died, and the rest were half-dead and unconscious.
The true owner of this great tomb is slowly awakening, and seems quite excited, probably sensing the arrival of these humans.
Gu Zixiao: "Wife, you've really worked hard this time."
If it weren't for him, his wife would still be resting at home.
