Lin Xue returned to the house, put her ski gear back on, and planned to go out to look for the two of them.
Lin Shengyuan was probably too tired from playing during the day and had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Lin Xue left without alerting anyone. She was capable of protecting herself and was not worried about her safety.
At this moment, I was just a little worried about the safety of Zhang Yang and Zhou Daqiang. What had happened to them that they hadn't returned yet?
Following the direction they had left in during the day, Lin Xue continued walking forward. The Tatar Mountains did not appear dark at night due to the white snow.
The snow provided most of the light, and with the sky full of stars tonight, the world seemed exceptionally quiet!
"bite!"
"Host, the cheat system for this world is ready. You can choose it at any time!!"
Lin Xue was the only one sliding forward in this snowy area. Because it hadn't snowed during the day, some of the tracks left by the two of them were still visible.
Besides the traces left by the two individuals, there were several other marks, possibly left by staff from the Tatar Hotel who had come out to search for them.
Despite the interference from others, Lin Xue was still able to distinguish which marks were left by Zhang Yang and his group, since the marks varied in depth.
However, after skiing for a while, Lin Xue lost the two ski marks left by skiers.
Moreover, these later marks extended in different directions.
It seems that the staff who came looking for the two have also lost track of them.
They simply chose to search separately.
Lin Xue looked around and, finding no one else nearby, took out her flying sword and used a talisman to slowly ascend into the air.
She circled around several times but couldn't find any trace of the two people. Eventually, she returned to the spot where the traces had disappeared.
Since the people disappeared from here, their clues must still be here.
Lin Xue began to mentally reconstruct the skiing path of the two people, and then carefully searched the area where their tracks disappeared.
"Um?"
Not far from the marks, there was a horizontal stone slab. If the two skiers accidentally hit this slab with the front of their skis, they would likely be thrown off balance.
Following this line of thought, Lin Xue continued walking forward.
There were several trees in this place, and the snow on two of them had all fallen to the ground.
Based on her guess, Lin Xue shoved aside the two piles of snow, but found no trace of the two people.
With no other option, I had to use my mental energy to explore the surrounding hundred-meter radius.
Finding no clues on the surface, she turned her attention underground.
Holy crap!
This sight terrified Lin Xue; it turned out there was a huge cavity beneath the ground.
There were piles of white bones inside, and around this huge cave, there were some small caves containing wooden boxes!
Zhang Yang and Zhou Daqiang were huddled together in a small corner.
Judging from the absence of bones on the ground around them, the two must have cleaned the area before sitting down.
Although it was dark underground, the two of them didn't feel much fear.
It seems they had no idea what kind of environment they were in, and most of the skeletons were animal bones. Once you see them clearly, you're not so scared anymore.
Lin Xue carefully examined the underground cave again and found that there were actually two passages leading to another stone chamber.
Lin Xue's eyes lit up when she saw the items in the stone chamber.
It seems that this place is not a simple mass grave, but the tomb of some important figure in the past.
There are quite a few antiques and other such items piled up inside. Lin Xue wasn't interested in these things, and her Lin family, being large and wealthy, didn't want to get involved in these underground items.
If you like it, you can buy it through normal channels; there's no need to go into the business of tomb raiding.
Thinking of this, Lin Xue took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Xiaoxue, why did you decide to call me so late?"
The voice that answered the phone was that of a dignified old man; it was none other than Old Man Lin.
“Uncle, it’s like this! I’m at the Tatar Mountain Ski Resort right now. This afternoon, two of my friends got lost at the ski resort. I just came out to look for them and discovered that there seems to be an ancient tomb of some great figure underground near the ski resort…”
"I think discovering this kind of ancient tomb should be a great achievement. Rather than letting outsiders benefit from it, we should let our own people take the credit!"
"So I called to ask you who I should report this to?"
Although her great-uncle had given her a phone number before, Lin Xue had never called that number and did not know the other party's identity.
Discovering ancient tombs requires the involvement of professionals.
If the department is not a good fit, even if Lin Xue speaks up, the other party won't receive much credit.
Why not just ask your great-uncle? Maybe he'll have a better candidate!
"So that's how it is?"
"Xiaoxue, I'll give you another phone number. Just call and tell him! I'll call the other party first to let them know. You can get your friend out first, and Xiao Cheng can handle the rest!"
After finishing her call with her great-uncle, Lin Xue waited a while before dialing the phone number he had given her.
"Hello! I am..."
After chatting with the other party for a while, Lin Xue hung up the phone.
The place where Zhang Yang and his companion fell was a narrow crevice. Normally, two grown men wouldn't be able to fall through it, but unfortunately, their posture was a bit strange, which is why they were thrown into such a narrow crevice.
This also shows how powerful the impact must have been between the two of them at the time!
Lin Xue took out a magic sword from her backpack and began widening the gap.
Once the gap was large enough for one person to pass through, Lin Xue took out a bundle of rope from her spatial storage, tied one end to two nearby trees, and then threw the rope through the gap.
Because of the sloping entrance, people inside still cannot see the light from outside.
Lin Xue took out a backpack from her spatial storage, put two flashlights and a few candles inside, and then grabbed a rope and jumped down.
"Thump!"
The heavy thud of a baby landing startled the two grown men who were already starting to doze off.
What was that sound?
Zhou Daqiang's somewhat nervous shout rang out.
"It's me!"
Lin Xue agreed and then took out her flashlight and turned it on.
