Chapter 1123 The rustling sound
Steve couldn't help feeling a little worried and wanted to go down with Li Jinxing, but Li Jinxing had already made up his mind.
Steve had no choice but to stay where he was and wait, while Li Jinxing brought several other indigenous people, some holding torches and some holding flashlights, and walked down the stairs step by step.
"Yaoyao...Yaoyao...Are you there..." Li Jinxing held a torch and a flashlight in his hands and called out loudly towards the depths below.
In the long underground passage, the sound seemed to have no echo. Li Jinxing frowned slightly. If there was no echo, there were only two possibilities: either the passage was too long, or there were exits in all directions when he arrived...
These indigenous people also called out Nie Yao's name on behalf of their prince. They knew that Nie Yao could understand their language, so as long as they were not far away, they would definitely be able to hear it!
On the other side, Nie Yao kept taking pictures of the various murals in front of her with her camera until the camera showed low battery, then she put the camera down reluctantly.
She raised her watch to check the time and found that it was already late. She had been down for a long time without realizing it. She was afraid that Li Jinxing and the others upstairs would be waiting anxiously!
She fumbled in her pockets, wanting to take out her cell phone, only to realize she had forgotten to bring it...
Nie Yao shook her head in annoyance. She just remembered that she had left her cell phone bag with Li Jinxing. Now Li Jinxing couldn't find her even if he called her. She wondered how anxious he must be!
She put the camera on her back, bit the flashlight in her mouth, and took the paper and pen she carried with her, sketching down the remaining parts of the mural that had not been photographed as quickly as possible.
Their excavation work is still in progress, but the murals in the secret room she found by following the clues are unprecedented. Her intuition tells her that the murals must contain the answer to the mystery that will eventually unlock the tomb!
After Nie Yao finished sketching the rest of the mural, he seemed to hear a faint rustling sound and couldn't help but move closer to the wall to listen.
The sound seemed to come from the other side of the wall. After listening for a few seconds, Nie Yao felt something was wrong. He immediately took a few steps away from the wall and accidentally stepped on something.
She lowered her head and took a look, realizing she had accidentally stepped on a poisonous insect with a hard shell. It looked a bit like a beetle, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't...
Nie Yao immediately understood what was going on. She picked up the torch beside her and swept it for a moment. Then she took out the insect repellent powder she had prepared and sprinkled it on herself and her feet, then prepared to leave.
The rustling sound was getting closer and closer, as if reminding Nie Yao that there might be a nest of poisonous insects nearby!
According to her memory of what she had just experienced, Nie Yao quickly found the mechanism of the secret room, reached out and pressed it three times, and then the stone door of the secret room slowly opened.
She breathed a sigh of relief, hurried out of the dark room, and prepared to leave by the same way she came.
After leaving this secret room, she was momentarily at a loss as to the options before her...
She clearly remembered that there were not many ways out when she came in just now. Could it be... Nie Yao narrowed her eyes slightly and suddenly found that the entrance and exit of this secret room were not in the same place!
The several paths ahead made Nie Yao unsure of what to do. She lowered her head and looked at the poisonous insects crawling out of the secret room, her brows furrowed even tighter.
If she couldn't find an exit quickly, the insect repellent powder she had on her would definitely not be enough to deal with the poisonous insects inside!
