Chapter 2793 Roasted Spider
Twenty minutes later, Gu Yan finally returned.
Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
He reached out and took Gu Yan, then his nose twitched slightly.
"What does it smell like?"
"It smells like something being roasted," Qiao Xinyu also came over.
Gu Yan said calmly, "It's the smell of burning spiders."
"What?" Qiao Xinyu was stunned and said in disbelief, "There was a spider in that hole, and you burned it?"
Wang Lintao and others also came over.
"Gu Yan, what exactly is the situation inside this passage?"
"It was a hole dug by the tomb robbers before. It went straight past the Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart chamber and led directly to another chamber at the innermost part. I just took a quick look at the hole entrance and didn't find any danger or bodies. However, there is a coffin at the innermost part, surrounded by some stone statues."
Gu Yan paused, then said, "It's very likely that the tomb robbers dug this hole and then blocked it up."
Either the group of tomb robbers hadn't taken everything and were worried that their colleagues would come in and pick up the missing items.
Or... there are some treasures inside that they can't take away at all.
And the person who blocked this hole might be related to the underground arsenal?!
In fact, Gu Yan originally thought that this corridor would lead directly to the arsenal, but it turned out to lead to the innermost main tomb chamber.
However, if the main tomb chamber is the last stop, then the entrance to the underground arsenal must be in that main tomb chamber.
"But didn't you just roast a spider in there?" Qiao Xinyu couldn't stop thinking about the spider. There was a strange smell in the air that kept reminding him.
Gu Yan nodded. "This passage must have been unused for a while. A spider made a hole next to it, but I burned it."
Gu Yan thought that there must have been a lot of these spiders before, but they must have been deliberately cleared out by humans. The one she encountered just now was probably a spider that escaped the net.
Although some of them were quite brave, the insects and other creatures that lived on corpses in the cemetery were not very cute.
However, since Gu Yan said that they could pass, the few people no longer had any objections and immediately entered the corridor one after another.
Several of the men were too strong, and it was a bit far-fetched to get past them.
This time, Gu Yan was the last one left. She was more dexterous, so she used a shovel to pile up the soil next to the hole.
Of course, it cannot be completely hidden, but this angle is a bit tricky and difficult to detect.
only……
After doing all this, Gu Yan turned around and was about to chase Lu Ye and others when she suddenly heard footsteps.
Sure enough, someone came.
So, is the person who followed closely the mastermind of the previous accident?
Gu Yan thought for a moment, took out a potion from his pocket, and gently sprinkled it at the entrance of the hole.
The potion was a liquid and quickly penetrated into the soil. Although there was still a faint smell in the air, the smell of the burned spider was quite strong, and there was also the fishy smell of the soil, so the smell of the potion was not very noticeable.
When Gu Yan finally jumped out of the cave, it was Lu Ye who reached out to catch her.
None of them had taken any action yet, waiting for Gu Yan to come in and join them.
Lu Ye looked at the hole keenly, "Yan Yan, what's wrong?"
"I suspect someone came in." She frowned. "And if they're following right behind us, that means they came down from the same entrance as us. But just now, when we came down, there were people waiting to meet us at the entrance. I'm worried about their safety."
Gu Yan expressed her concerns.
