Treasure Hunter Master(also known as Living People Avoidance)

This really scared me to death!

I was standing on the stone door. The door was designed to be suspended. If I wanted to open it, the steel wire holding the stone door would have to loosen. Then the stone door would fall down, and I would probably fall into the tunnel left by the Loulan people!

When the Loulan people dug the palace, I didn't know how many meters underground the palace was buried. I knew that this tunnel must have been dug very deep. If I fell down, I would die!

For a moment, I didn't dare to linger in the pit anymore. I was pulled out by Cao Yuan. As soon as I climbed out of the sand pit, the stone door fell down with a "boom" and then hung on one side. A dark, deep and long tunnel appeared in front of us. I didn't know how many steps there were. It was terrifying to see!

Anyway, I was scared to death!

Yi Shiting stared at the passage and showed a difficult expression on her face. She said hesitantly: "Can we go down here? If there is a lack of oxygen underground, we will be in big trouble if we go in!"

"It's okay."

Cao Yuan smiled: "There will definitely be no lack of oxygen, don't worry!"

Yi Shiting looked at Cao Yuan with some curiosity: "How come you are so familiar with this place? It's just like your own backyard!"

Cao Yuan smiled and didn't say anything. She had a substitute, and she might have been the last queen of Loulan in her previous life. This was too shocking, so there was no need to tell everyone, so Qingyi and I kept it secret from her.

Seeing that Cao Yuan didn't want to say much, Yi Shiting didn't ask much, but just looked at Cao Yuan with some suspicion, and then stopped talking.

At this time, Lin Qing had already dragged Iris and the other three over, and the meaning was self-evident-let them go in front!

The three men were tied up by us, and they looked like big dumplings. When they came over and looked at the tunnel, their faces changed.

"So you have always known how to enter this underground palace, but you didn't tell us, just to make us dig holes and waste our energy, and then subdue us?"

Iris turned her head and looked at us deeply, and said slowly: "What a deep calculation! I admit that I didn't get caught this time!"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense!"

The fat guy was like he had eaten dynamite, and he didn't have any sympathy for women. He rushed up and kicked Iris in the butt, kicking Iris so hard that she staggered and rushed into the tunnel. The fat man sneered and said : "I am the fish and others are the butchers. I really don't know what gives you the confidence to challenge us here!"

Iris just glanced at the fat man and didn't say much. Then she said to Burke and Xius: "You two, go ahead!"

Burke and Xius's faces changed immediately. They had seen the attainments of the Loulan people in the Central Plains mechanical art and the art of Qimen Dunjia. This underground palace is definitely full of dangers. If something really happens, the person walking in front will definitely be the worst. That person will be the first to be unlucky!

Burke and Xius are not stupid. After all, they are the capable men of K Group. They do grave digging and tomb robbing. How can they not know the pros and cons of this? For a while, the two of them retreated again and again.

Fatty has a bad temper and hates this kind of people the most. He kicked each of them into the sand pit. These two kicks were much heavier than the one he kicked Iris. Although Hughes and Burke were tall and strong, the fat man kicked them all into rolling gourds. They almost rolled and crawled into the corridor. Iris was smart. While the two were rolling forward, she turned sideways and dodged behind them. A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. This spirit of "a friend who dies is better than a poor Taoist" made us stunned. It was an eye-opener. This is also called teammates? They are just for sale! It seems that the K Group may not be as united as we imagined. Apart from other things, just looking at Iris's expression, we know that she has done this kind of thing a lot. When there is a problem, she doesn't stick a knife in the ribs for her friends, but stabs her friends twice when she finds an opportunity.

Watching the shove of these three people, we sneered outside the sand pit. Finally, the fat man couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to arrange the order for them - Burke went in the front, Hughes went in the middle, and Iris went in the back.

I was happy when this arrangement came out. I thought that the fat man was really vindictive. This was clearly a settlement with Iris and the others!

That night when we had a conflict with these people because of Cao Yuan's matter, Burke's attitude was the worst. He was ready to attack us if he didn't agree with us. When Iris explained to us, he was the one who pleaded the most for the old black man. I guess he had a good personal relationship with the black man. It was appropriate to put him in the front. As for Hughes, this bastard withheld our supplies the most on the way to the ruins. It was also quite refreshing to put him in the middle. As for Iris, although this woman was the most vicious, she was not mean. It didn't matter if she walked in the last place!

Of course, the fat man was not happy with Hughes and Burke's arrangement. As a result, the fat man took the engineer shovel and wanted to chop them without saying a word, shouting that whoever disobeyed would be chopped like the black man, one shovel per person, and the result was here, which scared Burke and Hughes so much that they dared not say a word and listened to the fat man's manipulation.

After dealing with these three people, a few of us followed them into the corridor. It's true that the air in the corridor is really fresh, just like the outside, without the breath of time after the building that has been sealed for thousands of years was opened. In plain words, there is no smell of decay, which is really a miracle. It should be noted that it is very difficult to keep the underground building well ventilated. Even if it is not completely sealed with soil and two large holes are left to keep the air flowing, it is useless. After a thousand years, the smell of pickled food will still be there!

Out of curiosity, I asked Cao Yuan how the underground palace corridor is ventilated.

"If I say that there is no ventilation hole in the underground palace tunnel, do you believe it?"

Cao Yuan glanced at me and said softly: "In fact, the air in the tunnel we breathe now should be artificial in the strict sense!"

After a pause, Cao Yuan sighed and said: "When Loulan was destroyed and the palace was sunk, the craftsmen used black steel to build a roof on the palace in order to preserve the palace intact. In this way, after the palace sank underground, it was supported by the roof, and the open-air courtyards in the palace could be completely preserved and would not be filled with sand and destroyed. In the palace of Loulan, there is a large artificial lake surrounded by trees. These trees were sent underground with the sinking of the palace. Water and wood will naturally produce oxygen. As long as the place is connected to the underground palace, the air is naturally fresh!"

I was stunned and vaguely felt that the Loulan people's method of sealing treasures in the sunken palace seemed to be influenced by the shipwreck burial.

Tomb robbing has always been rampant in our country. All high-ranking officials and nobles would try every possible means to prevent their tombs from being robbed. For example, Emperor Cao Pi of Wei, who was the first emperor of the Wei Dynasty, probably had a profound understanding of the means by which his father Cao Cao used tomb robbers and the God of Heaven to make a fortune, so he was particularly taboo against tomb robbers, fearing that he would be taken out of his coffin by the tomb robbers after his death. Therefore, such an awesome emperor was forced to issue an edict before his death to announce to the world that he would be buried in frugality! In plain words, tomb robbers, don't open my coffin, I won't take any burial objects when I die, okay? I will be buried clean, even if you do, I won't make a fortune, so just let me go!

Shipwreck burial is also a strange burial method forced by tomb robbers. It is to use a ship as a tomb, and the tomb owner and the burial objects are placed in the cabin. Far away from the land, the big ship is driven into the boundless sea, and then the ship is sunk and buried in the seabed! !

The shipwreck burial is also used to prevent tomb robbers, but it is not as cruel as Cao Pi. In order to prevent tomb robbers from digging the grave, an emperor was buried directly without even a copper coin, which is quite strange!

When I mentioned these, Cao Yuan confirmed my guess without thinking, and told me clearly that the Loulan people's sunken palace was influenced by the shipwreck burial of the Central Plains nobles, but it was slightly improved and the technology was more advanced.

Just as Cao Yuan and I were walking and discussing these issues, a crisp "click" sounded in front of us without any warning, which seemed to be... the sound of tiles being cracked.

I subconsciously raised my head and saw that the bluestone brick that Burke, who was walking in the front, was standing on had sunk. The next moment, the stone walls on his left and right sides suddenly closed and collided with each other, just like the traditional musical instrument cymbals hitting each other, and Burke, who was caught in the middle, was smashed into a pile of rotten meat!

From beginning to end, Burke didn't have time to scream, and was smashed directly. It all happened too fast, just like a big truck ran over the toad. Burke's body simply exploded directly. The scene was quite tragic. Because I was close, I was splashed with black blood. Hughes, who was following Burke, was even worse. Rotten meat and dirty blood were splashed all over his body, and bone fragments were broken on his face. Hughes, a mercenary who had seen blood and fire, was so scared that he sat on the ground directly, his spirit collapsed, and he cried with a "wow".

Not only did he collapse, but several of us also collapsed. At least Cao Yuan was so scared that her pretty face turned pale. She was still talking to me about Loulan civilization with high spirits just a moment ago, but now she bent over and vomited.

I was also very nauseous, but I could barely hold on, looking at the place where the huge changes happened in front of me with horror.

At this time, the two huge rocks that killed Burke slowly shrank back, and the walls of the corridor were flat again. Only the remaining flesh and blood on them and the smell of blood in the corridor proved how horrible the tragedy that had just happened was! !

Is this... the mechanical technique mastered by the Loulan people? It's really hard to defend against!

I was dry-mouthed, looking at the corridor that stretched all the way down, and I didn't know where it would end. I was shocked to the extreme - this is simply a death passage!
