Chapter 1848 Meteorite
The archaeological team had come up one after another. When they turned around and saw Huo Yao and Min Yucai walking to the center, they hurried to help pull up the iron chain.
However, at this moment, the entire underground palace suddenly began to shake, and the rocks above the heads fell down. People could not even stand steadily, let alone help.
"Oh no, this place is going to collapse."
Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi gritted their teeth and pulled the iron chain even harder.
Even if there were pieces of stones hitting him, he seemed not to feel it.
On the iron chain, Huo Yao lowered his eyes to look down at his feet. The originally clear and calm lake bottom had been stirred up and rolled by the mechanical gears rising from below.
The iron chain was now only a dozen centimeters away from the rolling mercury surface, and she and Min Yu only had one minute at most.
Huo Yao took a deep breath and moved faster.
If nothing unexpected happens, one minute is enough for them to escape.
But it seemed as if God was against them. When the two were only three meters away from the shore, a huge rock suddenly fell.
Just as it was about to hit Huo Yao, at the critical moment, Min Yu behind her reached out and pushed the person forward with great force.
Huo Yao narrowly avoided the stone, and when he turned around, he saw Min Yu's shoulder was hit by the boulder, and he lost his balance. Huo Yao's pupils shrank, and he took a step back without thinking, reaching out to grab Min Yu's arm.
Min Yu used the force to stabilize his body and said in a low voice: "Let's go."
The two of them moved faster.
Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi on the shore were so frightened that they almost broke out in cold sweats, but no one said a word, and the strength of their hands pulling the iron chain was increased to the extreme again.
Time passed slowly, yet seemed to pass quickly. After more than ten seconds, Huo Yao and Min Yu finally jumped onto the stone steps.
When I turned around, I saw that the palace that had been suspended for who knows how many years at the other end of the iron chain finally fell into the mercury lake, and the ancient artifacts inside that had not yet been discovered by the archaeological team were buried forever underneath.
Huo Yao's eyes darkened, he turned around, and without stopping, the group quickly headed towards the exit of the underground palace.
Because this place is about to collapse.
A few minutes later, everyone finally came out of the underground palace. Before they could catch their breath, the ground began to collapse in all directions with the underground palace as the center.
Fortunately, Huo Yao had asked Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi to make preparations beforehand, and the two of them had already methodically arranged for everyone to get on three off-road vehicles.
The ground collapsed quickly, but the speed of the off-road vehicle was not slow either. After a short while, the vehicle drove out of the danger zone.
The car speed gradually returned to normal.
The members of the archaeological team who had escaped death were still in fear and sat slumped in the car without any strength left.
President Sheng, who usually looks reserved, looked a little pale.
"They said they were going to research the structure of the suspended underground palace, but now there's nothing left." The survey expert next to him sighed with regret, "I don't know who triggered the mechanism."
"Yeah, but we're lucky to get out safely." Another person said with a wry smile.
"It's a pity that we haven't verified the existence of a meteorite yet." The survey expert wiped his face. After calming down, he remembered that the president seemed to have left for a while, so he looked at him again, "By the way, president, did you find anything in the underground palace before?"
President Sheng leaned against the chair, his sleeve torn somewhere. He opened his eyes, his expression looked normal, and he simply said, "No."
