Chapter 1191 The Returnee's Notes 265
The temperature inside the cave remained relatively constant; it was cool but not cold, at least not to the point of making people feel cold.
However, the snow fox is an exception.
He was wearing the thickest clothes, but he still felt cold even now.
It's just within a tolerable range. If it were the temperature outside, he thinks he would have chosen to turn back.
Although he also wanted to acquire something during his adventure, his life was more important than the unknown treasure.
The group followed behind Yuan Ming, with Huifa bringing up the rear.
At this point, Yuan Ming was no longer looking at the compass. Xie Ning initially found it strange, but after she took out her own compass, she understood why Yuan Ming had put it away.
The compass needle trembled incessantly, clearly affected by the magnetic field, and here, only ghosts could influence the magnetic field.
Ouyang Lin also glanced at Xie Ning's compass and whispered, "It might not just be the influence of ghosts. Many tombs in the past had formations made to guard against this."
To prevent tomb raiding.
However, Ouyang Lin was still puzzled as to why Xie Ning had taken out this seemingly ordinary compass. Previously, when they had worked together on a case, Xie Ning had used a different, very simple and exquisite compass that looked like an antique.
The one Xie Ning is using now is similar to the one she usually uses.
But then Ouyang Lin realized that there were many outsiders around, so it was wise to be cautious.
Who knows if we'll be targeted? It's better to avoid trouble.
They were going through a place that resembled a tomb robber's tunnel, which Yuan Ming had already crawled through once.
The cave ahead wasn't formed naturally either. As they walked along the tunnel Yuan Ming had mentioned, Xie Ning could see many traces of human intervention, making it somewhat resemble a mine.
"This is the tomb robber's hole?"
Xu Jiu curiously moved closer, but Yuan Ming didn't rush to crawl in. Instead, he first set up the outside while chatting with the others about the tunnel.
Generally speaking, there are two types of tomb raiding tunnels: round and square. The most common type is round because it requires less soil to dig and allows them to reach the bottom of the tomb more quickly.
On some mountains or slopes, there may be a small, round hole. It may not have been dug by a small animal, but rather by tomb raiders using a Luoyang shovel.
The purpose is to explore below to see if there are any good things. If there are, then proceed to the next step.
Typical tomb raiders will look for graves with mounds to dig up, because it's relatively easy and quick to start. The downside is that the grave mounds may not contain anything of value.
Since the tombs with burial mounds are likely not very old.
Or perhaps the grave has already been ransacked several times, leaving even less of a good find.
Skilled tomb raiders wouldn't bother with such tombs; they would usually look for tombs without mounds.
After finding the approximate location, we used a Luoyang shovel to probe it. A steel pipe was attached to the back of the Luoyang shovel, about 70 or 80 centimeters long.
You only need to twist it to use it, and you can probe as deep as you want. Two or three people can sweep a large area of land in one night.
In the past, people would dig after finding a specific spot, but now it's different; using explosives is faster and more convenient.
Simply put, it involves placing explosives in a probe hole, and once detonated, it can blast a hole.
The hole in front of them was round and regular, with few traces of tools, clearly indicating that explosives had been used.
It wasn't until Yuan Ming explained that Xie Ning realized how those small holes had come about along the way.
