They are the two tomb robbers who came with the Yunhai Archaeological Team! This group of tombs was originally dug by tomb robbers. Maybe they have dug up something dangerous this time!
Mingren's eyes were filled with chills. These tomb robbers who only cared about money deserved to die! Arriving at the pit where the evil spirit came from, Wen Qi raised his foot and kicked the mountain. Without much effort, the surrounding soil fell down, revealing a hole with a diameter of one meter.
"This is..." Wen Qi bent down and looked inside the cave. It looked very flat, as if it had been repaired. She asked in surprise, "Could they have dug holes?" She had only heard that tomb robbers were good at digging holes before, but this was the first time she had seen it in real life.
Mingren also came over to take a look and nodded, "It is indeed a robbery hole."
Wen Qi looked back at him, "The source of the Yin energy is inside, do you dare to go in and take a look?"
Mingren sneered, "Why wouldn't I dare?" He stepped forward and said, "I'll take the lead."
Fan Xiaoling couldn't help laughing, "Was it you who hit the head, or your paper figurine?"
Mingren was very calm, "It's all the same, my paper man is my clone."
Wen Qi groaned and said, "Then let the paper man go in and investigate first."
Mingren squinted at her, "Don't you think my paper figurines are useless?"
Wen Qi ignored him, turned to look at Fan Xiaoling, and warned: "Did you see? Never offend petty men, they will hate you forever."
Fan Xiaoling nodded solemnly, "I'll remember it!"
Mingren took a deep breath and told himself not to get angry, otherwise he would be pissed off by these two women sooner or later! He snorted angrily, took out a palm-sized paper man from his pocket, threw it into the tunnel and injected soul power into it.
The paper man grew bigger in an instant and quickly crawled into the tunnel.
Professor Cheng and Dr. Qiu, who were far away, saw the three people gathered together and realized that they must have discovered some danger, so they immediately warned others not to approach that area.
Everyone responded with a serious expression, and the researcher who was originally responsible for the excavation of the pit also took the initiative to move to other places to help.
At this moment, Mingren's expression suddenly changed outside the tunnel. "The connection is gone."
Wen Qi frowned, "So fast."
She had anticipated that there would be danger in the cave, but the paper man had only been in there for two minutes? He was killed so quickly. It seemed that she had underestimated what was inside.
Wen Qi turned to look at Fan Xiaoling, "After we go in, you will seal this tunnel and guard the entrance. Don't let any ghosts out."
Fan Xiaoling pointed at herself and asked, "I won't go in?"
Wen Qi shook his head. “You stay outside. If we don’t come out in three hours, call Ning Guochao and ask the Tianshi Association to come to support us.”
Fan Xiaoling's expression became serious, "I understand, you guys be careful." Wen Qi has always been very confident. This time she even asked for support. The situation must be very serious. She was not strong enough and could not go in and cause trouble.
Mingren is over 1.80 meters tall, and the cave entrance is only one meter wide, so he can only kneel down and crawl inside. Even then, his lower back would always rub against the top of the cave.
Wen Qi is nearly 1.7 meters tall, which makes him fit into the cave just fine, with some room to move around.
In comparison, it is better for Wen Qi to take the lead so that he can fight back more easily when encountering danger.
Wen Qi and Ming Ren entered the tunnel one after another. Fan Xiaoling immediately sealed the tunnel. Then she looked at the time, sat cross-legged at the entrance of the tunnel, and waited while reciting a spell.
Not long after entering the tunnel, Mingren suddenly asked, "Are you really not sure?"
Wen Qi laughed: "How is that possible? It's just an ancient tomb."
Wen Qi explained as he climbed: "Xiaoling is too weak, and the dangers in the ancient tomb are unknown. It is too dangerous to come in rashly. I just found an excuse for her to stay outside."
Mingren clicked his tongue: "How come you even scheme against the people around you?"
Wen Qi said confidently, "I'm doing this for her own good."
Not long after walking, Wen Qi saw a small paper man that was cut in half. The broken end was jagged, as if it had been torn by something.
Wen Qi picked up the paper figure and handed it to Mingren behind him, "See if you can find anything."
Mingren checked it and frowned, saying, "The soul power disappeared very cleanly, as if... it was eaten."
"Feeding on soul power?" Wen Qi instantly thought of many kinds of devouring beasts, but from ancient times to the present, the traces of beasts have become increasingly difficult to find, and in modern times they are almost extinct. Could there be any in this tomb? Wen Qi pursed his lips and said, "Be alert, it may be more dangerous than expected."
Mingren nodded solemnly, and the paper man in his pupil reappeared, and the paper man puppet technique was ready to be activated at any time.
About five minutes later, the tunnel reached the end, and Wen Qi and Ming Ren crawled out of the cave one after another.
There was a golden light in Wen Qi's eyes, and everything in the darkness was exposed.
This is a tomb chamber with an area of only three meters square and a height of almost two meters. There is no coffin, only some ceramic jars and two large bronze tripods nearly one and a half meters high. It looks like a tomb chamber specially used for placing funerary objects.
Mingren was also observing his surroundings through the paper figurine in front of his eyes. The depressing and silent environment made him subconsciously lower his voice, "The yin energy is getting heavier."
Wen Qi nodded, wanting to use his soul power to explore the structure of the tomb, but was afraid of alerting the enemy. After weighing the pros and cons, he gave up the large-scale exploration and only let the soul power surround his body.
"I heard there are a lot of traps in the ancient tomb. Let's put out two more paper figurines to avoid any setbacks."
Mingren rarely spoke stubbornly. He waved his hand and five little paper figures appeared. After they landed on the ground, they jumped and started to explore the way.
Wen Qi and Ming Ren followed the paper man and walked slowly.
Outside the tomb chamber is a 1.5-meter-wide tomb passage, which is on both sides. The paper people ran back and forth to explore the way, and finally chose the one on the right.
Mingren followed and saw Wenqi didn't move. He turned to look at her in confusion, "Why don't you leave?"
Wen Qi stared at the paper figurine, "How did your paper figurine choose its route?"
Mingren also looked at the paper man, "Choose the safest side based on the degree of danger."
Wen Qi nodded, "Then go left."
Mingren was stunned, "What?"
Wen Qitou also turned around and walked to the left, "We are here to deal with danger, so of course we go wherever there is danger."
Mingren also reacted and quickly followed, "You're right."
The paper figures cannot speak, but their expressions are very vivid. The five little paper figures looked at each other, as if they knew what their master was thinking. They shook their heads helplessly and could only jump to Wen Qi again and continue exploring the way.
They had not walked for long when a strong gust of cold wind suddenly blew from the front. The paper man could not stand and was blown away.
Wen Qi stopped and narrowed his eyes, "It's coming."
