Chapter 879: Burial Pit

At the same time, the stone slabs beneath their feet suddenly sank without warning.

"No, it's a trap!"

Shen Qiu cried out in shock and tried to escape by leaping up from the stone wall, but the stone slabs were descending too fast and instantly swallowed them all into the dark abyss.

"boom."

Soon, the stone slab hit the ground hard, making a deafening sound.

Amid the feeling of weightlessness from falling rapidly, Li Wan'er staggered and fell to the ground, with her buttocks sitting on a hard object.

She grabbed the object in panic, and when she looked at it in the dim light, her face turned pale.

I saw that he was holding a skeleton hand, with a few strips of rotten cloth wrapped between the finger bones.

With a scream, Li Wan'er quickly threw the ominous object away.

"Crack, click, click..."

The thumping sound of the hand bones hitting the ground echoed with a creepy echo.

"what--"

After seeing the surrounding scene clearly, Li Wan'er couldn't help but scream again.

This small space was actually filled with densely packed skeletons.

They are either sitting or lying down, in various postures, but all of them are staring at the sky with their empty eye sockets, telling of their endless sorrow in life.

"This is... a burial pit in an ancient tomb!"

Jiang Xiaochuan said in a deep voice after taking a look at the densely packed skeletons and scattered funerary objects around him.

"This ancient tomb is indeed extraordinary."

Not only was Baron not afraid at all, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

He had long heard that the ancient burial customs in the inland were extremely unique and completely different from those in southern Xinjiang.

All this in front of him undoubtedly stimulated his desire to explore.

"Jiang, ahem... Boss, let's go up and keep going."

Baron suggested, looking up at the dark cave entrance above.

Jiang Xiaochuan also looked up and thought to himself.

He remembered that the lowered stone slab was as big as a car, but now the hole above was just like a wellhead.

"Not urgent."

Jiang Xiaochuan shook his head slowly.

The corridors above are intricate and complex, and blindly searching for the way may lead to deeper trouble.

If we could find a way out of this burial pit, it would be a shortcut to avoid the numerous traps.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaochuan quickly scanned the surroundings, not missing any possible clues.

Finally, on a seemingly ordinary stone wall, he found an extremely hidden mechanism.

The mechanism was cleverly hidden in the patterns on the stone wall and was almost imperceptible without careful observation.

"Look there!"

Jiang Xiaochuan pointed at the mechanism and said with certainty:

"If we can trigger that mechanism correctly, maybe we can open the way to the next tomb or the exit."

In this burial pit, in addition to scattered bones and skulls, there are also some weapons scattered around.

The presence of these weapons seems particularly odd because, according to common sense, slaves buried with the dead were not allowed to carry weapons.

Jiang Xiaochuan speculated that these weapons were most likely left by the soldiers or subordinates who led the slaves here.

And this mechanism is most likely the escape route they reserved for themselves.

But for some unknown reason, they were ultimately not spared and were killed here together.

Hearing this, several people focused their eyes on where Jiang Xiaochuan pointed.

Sure enough, in the shadow of the stone wall, there was a round protrusion the size of a fingernail.

"Old man, please help."

Looking at Shen Qiu, Jiang Xiaochuan said quietly.

During the fall, the black scarf on Shen Qiu's face was blown off.

His face was thin and harsh, with almost no flesh on his cheeks, leaving only taut skin clinging to his bones, exuding a sense of coldness.

When Jiang Xiaochuan spoke, his pale face became even more sinister.

"What, you don't want to go?"

Jiang Xiaochuan asked with raised eyebrows.

Shen Qiu snorted coldly but did not respond directly.

Then, he moved, but instead of touching the hidden switch, he gathered his energy and slapped out with one palm.

The palm was so powerful, like thunder, it went straight to the opposite wall, trying to break through the obstacle with brute force.

"Boom!"

The moment the palm wind touched the wall, the entire tomb seemed to tremble slightly.

But the wall seemed to be protected by a mysterious force and there was no sign of damage at all.

"this......"

A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Qiu's eyes.

He used 80% of his strength in this palm strike, but he couldn't shake the wall at all.

Seeing that brute force didn't work, Shen Qiu had no choice but to change his strategy.

He approached the mechanism cautiously. Although it was only ten steps away, he walked with extreme caution.

Behind them, Jiang Xiaochuan and the others also had tense expressions, their eyes fixed on Shen Qiu.

Fortunately, Shen Qiu walked all the way to the location of the mechanism without triggering any mechanism.

Just as Shen Qiu's finger was about to touch the switch, a strange noise suddenly came from the tomb.
