Chapter 863 The First Mechanism
"Then let me thank you on his behalf..." Nie Yao thanked them politely and personally escorted them to the car.
"Miss Nie..." Just as she was about to say goodbye to them, an aboriginal called out to Nie Yao with a hesitant expression.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?" Nie Yao asked hurriedly with concern.
"The Queen's tomb has been guarded by our ancestors for generations. Now Your Highness wants to open it. We will not disobey Your Highness's wishes, but these tombs..."
Nie Yao noticed they stopped talking mid-sentence, vaguely guessing something, and quickly asked, "Is there something wrong with these tombs?"
"There are numerous traps and secret passages set up inside to prevent tomb robbers and others from stealing. Even the collapse today wasn't caused by the excavators' mistake, but by the first trap set up!"
The leading aboriginal said this and saw Nie Yao frowning. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Nie. There were too many people there just now, so we didn't dare to say much. But a few of us went down to check. It wasn't an accident, but the first trap set up!"
Nie Yao didn't show any surprise when she heard this. She nodded and murmured softly, "So that's how it is. That's not surprising..."
"What's not strange?" the native asked curiously.
Nie Yao smiled faintly. Although she didn't like the archaeological doctor Vanessa who was against her, she also felt that Vanessa would not make such a stupid mistake in order to speed up the progress. She didn't even survey the geological conditions clearly, and let them dig indiscriminately, which almost cost lives in the end!
Nie Yao thought of this and smiled at the natives, "Thank you for reminding me. It's getting late today. Go back and get some rest. I'll consult you later on how to continue digging without triggering the mechanism inside!"
"Miss Nie, we will do our best to protect your safety!" The natives said this and added in a low voice: "We promised His Highness!"
Nie Yao was amused when she heard this. She raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "So, this is what Li Jinxing told you before he left?"
They nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Nie Yao sighed in her heart, saw off these natives, and took a car back to the hotel.
It was already dawn, and although she was extremely tired, she still dragged herself to take a hot shower.
At this time, Li Jinxing had already returned to the company, perhaps busy with his work. I don't know if everything is okay with him...
Nie Yao picked up her phone and sent a message. Without waiting for Li Jinxing's reply, she yawned and fell asleep on the bed.
Nie Yao slept very soundly that day, and her cell phone did not ring to wake her up. When she woke up, she found that she had slept until the afternoon.
She stretched and got up from the bed, glanced at the clock on the wall, rubbed her eyes, made sure she was not mistaken, then quickly jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After she finished washing up, she looked everywhere for her cell phone. She finally found it under the quilt and saw several messages at a glance.
One message was from my junior Steve: "Senior, I heard the rescue was successful, and you played a significant role. You should get some sleep. I was on the scene today!"
The other messages were all sent by Li Jinxing, one of which was a voice message.
