Chapter 733 Destruction
Qi Song also said in surprise, "This is an imperial mausoleum, built in such a grand manner, how come there are no treasures? The only thing we saw was a piece of gold at the beginning."
Professor Gu couldn't help but chuckle. "Young man, even imperial tombs aren't necessarily filled with rare treasures; those are just burial objects."
Sometimes, emperors would choose burial items according to their own preferences. You don't understand. Otherwise, all the traps and mechanisms along the way would be the best burial items.
There are probably very few underground palaces like this in the world; the ingenuity in their mechanisms is truly unparalleled.
Qi Song suddenly realized that the reason they encountered almost no obstacles when they entered was because Professor Gu and Maomao were very familiar with the mechanisms here, which prevented them from making any mistakes.
Presumably, if it were anyone else, the game would have ended much earlier than Mitchellson and his team did.
"But where exactly are we in this underground palace? How long will it take to reach the imperial mausoleum? It's already past midnight, how long will it take us to find it..."
As Qi Song was speaking, he was about to check the time when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Why has my watch stopped!"
"My watch has stopped working, and my cell phone has no signal!"
"My phone is off! But I remember it was fully charged!"
"Mine too!"
Everyone was surprised when they saw it.
Jiu Yebai looked at his computer, and it was the same; the electronic devices were completely malfunctioning. He wasn't panicked, but he couldn't help looking at the cat, "What happened?"
The cat said, "There are so many ways to interfere with the magnetic field. Don't think of the emperors of the past as stupid. They were the Sons of Heaven."
Besides, this underground palace was built by a descendant of Lu Ban's art, whose skill level was very high.
Upon hearing this, Jiu Yebai felt relieved. He had gotten used to it and was no longer so dependent on electronic devices.
However, the cat's words served as a wake-up call for him. He had to create a super-magnetic field as soon as possible so that it wouldn't be easily interfered with.
After resting for a while, Professor Gu stood up and called the cat away, "Cat, come with me for a moment."
The two of them walked a little further away.
Professor Gu asked, "We've entered a maze. Although we won't trigger any offensive mechanisms and there's no danger to our lives, continuing like this isn't a solution. Do you know the location of the Great Xia Imperial Mausoleum?"
The cat nodded and pointed in a direction, "Here."
"Can we get through?"
"Ha." Cat said truthfully, "With so many people, we can't get through. If it were just me, I could."
Her divine sense could cover the entire underground palace, and she knew its structure very well.
However, the underground palace wasn't inexhaustible for them; rather, the nature of mechanical arts was inherently about change, and the path kept changing as they walked.
Even if you don't walk, the path will change, and stopping will bring new situations. Keeping walking, on the contrary, is a state of balance.
If it were just the cat alone, she only needed to speed up until the mechanism changed and couldn't catch up with her.
Simple and direct.
But cats can definitely do it.
Professor Gu couldn't help but laugh. "I knew it would be like this. There's no point in talking about it. Now that we're already here, we can't leave empty-handed..."
This Lu Ban technique is truly formidable. I can only try my best again. If I can't break it, you should go alone before dawn. You only need to gather some information; I doubt you can take anything from here with you anyway.”
Cat: "Mmm."
Professor Gu couldn't help but say, "If Mu Jin were here, this would be much easier... Sigh, never mind, let's tell everyone to keep going."
The group continued their journey through the endless passageway.
Professor Gu and the cat can avoid some of the traps, but the maze-like design makes the entire underground palace constantly changing.
Cats aren't good at this kind of thing.
She can forcibly demolish it, but breaking the mechanism is not an option.
Two more hours passed, and the group was still wandering in the long corridor. Their initial fighting spirit had long since faded, and their bodies were too exhausted to continue.
The ever-burning lamps had been illuminating them, so brightly that now they looked as if they were mocking them.
Qi Song glanced at the young students who were exhausted and almost out of breath. Compared to them, he felt much more confident in himself. It seemed his cultivation was going well! He hadn't reached the point of being completely exhausted.
Li Zhongcheng said, "This mechanism is really amazing. If we keep dawdling, it will be almost dawn. If the tower gate is retracted, will we be locked up here?"
"How about we go back today and come back tomorrow?"
Professor Gu said, "They might not be able to come tomorrow. The Tower Gate probably doesn't appear every day."
Just as the group was caught in a dilemma, footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance!
They were all resting here, and any sound in the passageway would echo loudly, so they noticed it immediately!
Everyone's nerves immediately tightened.
"Could it be Mitchellson and his gang again?!"
"Could they have gotten in?!"
"Isn't there anything more trapping than a trap?"
While everyone was speculating, Jiu Yebai whispered to Maomao, "Maomao, are Mitchellson and the others dead?"
However, the cat suddenly raised its head and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
She shook her head, giving Jiu Yebai a perfunctory answer.
Soon, two people appeared in the passageway!
It's Mu Jin! And Yun Que!
"Brother-in-law?!"
