Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming
Chapter 116 The event begins
Walking along the dirt road from the west side of the museum, the soil gradually becomes sandy.
The overgrown weeds were replaced by low shrubs with well-developed root systems. In places not covered by plants, one could feel a slight sinking feeling when one stepped on them. In the distance, the vast land was covered with loess, with no visible edge.
There are dozens of tombs of various sizes buried under this land.
Bare, desolate, and uninhabited.
The yellow earth piles spread out along the excavated gullies, and the broken pieces of pottery tiles emerged from the soil layer that was never exposed to the sun under the force of the wind.
"So this is the burial area. There's nothing special about it, except for the yellow soil and sand, and these grooves that look like they were gnawed by dogs." Haley patted the sand on her trouser legs, looking very disappointed.
"There are only a few small mounds of earth. I thought there would be a mausoleum towering above the ground." But even though she said she was disgusted, she never stopped holding her camera along the way.
"Yes, this area has been blocked for many years. I didn't expect it to be open for this treasure hunt." Emily, who is quite interested in the mysticism, has long been interested in this burial area.
More than ten years ago, because a child went missing here, the entire tomb area was blocked and non-professionals were not allowed to enter. When the official archaeological team withdrew, this place was completely abandoned.
On weekdays, only Gunther and a few others from the Explorers Guild come to investigate, either for work or to eliminate sources of danger.
Therefore, few of Sean's group had actually been to this place.
This time it was thanks to Gunther's persuasion of Lewis that the place was unsealed.
"Don't tell my mom, I actually sneaked in a few times." Abby proudly began to blew himself up, "This entire underground area is a vast world."
"When I sneaked in, the funeral objects were gone. Various abandoned mechanisms were still preserved, but they could not be triggered. Kerosene lamps were placed on the bluestone walls of the entire tomb. At that time, the lights on the left and right lit up one by one, and countless shadows spread out from your feet."
"At this moment, there was a ticking sound from the corner of the passage. A long, wriggling shadow grew longer and longer under the light of the fire. Just as you were concentrating on staring at the shadow and moving backwards tremblingly, your heel tripped over a protrusion.
"The stone coffin behind me began to vibrate strangely and silently at some point. The sand and gravel on it slid down, and a crack opened up. Cold air came out of it, and the surging yellow earth swallowed up the white body."
"You fell in, the biting cold invaded your nerves from your spine, and gave you goose bumps all over your body. The footsteps outside were getting closer and faster, and gradually every step was in sync with your rapid heartbeat..."
"Just when you were wondering whether to hide here, suddenly, a pair of dry hands grabbed your shoulders from behind, just like this!"
As the girls listened to her story attentively.
"Ah!" Abby screamed, she jumped, grabbed Sean's shoulders, and hung herself on him.
Except for Emily, all the girls couldn't help but shrink their necks, but Sean was not panicked at all. He picked Abby up and secretly patted her butt as a punishment.
"What? I couldn't scare anyone. I have to do better next time." Abi had no regrets and even started to reflect on himself.
When the women came to their senses and identified the culprit, the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Abby fought one against four, and with his good skills, he blocked the tickle attacks from all directions.
"Master, someone is bullying your lovely disciple, come and save him~" she asked for help.
Sean suppressed his smile, turned his head to the other side, and pretended to look at the scenery.
Just kidding, a war between women is not something he can get involved in. Good luck to you, Abi.
Two fists are no match for four hands, let alone double. Abby was quickly defeated, with countless white and tender hands roaming all over his body.
"Hehe~ Stop... Stop scratching... Help... Help."
Only after Abby begged for mercy with tears in her eyes did the girls let her go. The whole process provided Sean, who was the only one at a close distance, with many eye-catching benefits.
"So you haven't been into the tomb either?" Sean pulled Abby up from the ground with his head in his hands.
"Yes, I just came to the entrance of the tomb, but hesitated and didn't go down." Abby wiped her eyes and scratched her head embarrassedly. Emily and Claire beside her were tidying up her clothes.
"However, I know some gossip. I heard that there is a mischievous contestant in this event who wants to dress up as a ghost to scare the other players." Abi leaned over and said mysteriously.
"I told you to tickle me, now I'll scare you." Abby thought secretly.
Sure enough, there was a hint of hesitation on the faces of the girls.
"Don't be afraid. Since Mayor Lewis chose this place to hold the event, he must have his reasons. There will definitely be no danger, and there will definitely be staff on site to maintain order." Sean comforted the girls.
He already knew all the information about this event from Lewis the day before yesterday.
This time, Lewis and Gunther screened a series of conditions and selected three of the tombs as the venue for the event.
Whether it is the most important security, whether the tomb is located in a shallow layer of the ground, whether there is a passage connecting to the ground, the complexity and interest of the tomb, and whether the stone chamber forged by Gunther can be found, these have become selection criteria.
These three tombs have been checked inside and out, and on the day of the event, hunters such as McCaroo will serve as order maintenance personnel to ensure the smooth progress of the event.
These measures show that Lewis has put a lot of effort into security.
Of course, the secret room where Gunther hid his things is somewhere in the central corner of Tomb No. 1. The passage to the secret room is controlled by a mechanism buried more than meter underground.
This place was discovered by Gunther when he was digging aimlessly in the ancient tomb to vent his inner emotions that day.
This secret place is also the reason why Lewis insisted on Sean's participation, because ordinary people cannot find this location at all, and even if they find it, they can't explain the reason. Only Sean, who has the ability of perspective, can discover it.
Only such a hidden location can explain the fact that these stone carvings have not been discovered after such a long period of excavation.
Time passed in the fun, and as the crowd grew larger, it was time for the event to begin.
As per tradition, Mayor Lewis attended and gave a speech before the event.
After Lewis spoke briefly, he invited sponsor Geist to the stage.
According to Gast's personality, he hates attending such events that require him to show up in public.
However, in order to get acquainted with the residents of Pelican Town as quickly as possible, he wanted to find out the specific identity of Master Lasmodes and win his favor.
He had to force himself to say a few words of praise, such as thanking everyone on behalf of his father.
"He's quite handsome." The girls in the audience rated Gast's appearance, "He is indeed an outstanding young man from a big city."
"He's a bit cold and a boring guy."
"He looks arrogant and difficult to get along with."
"He's not as handsome as Sean, and not as strong as him." Claire added, and the other girls agreed with her words.
"That's my master!"
"He is indeed the man I like."
"Do I really have to spend my whole life to repay you?"
"The destined person revealed by fate."
“A bosom friend on the creative journey.”
"..."
When Sean was mentioned, the girls each had their own thoughts in their minds and the scene fell into an eerie silence.
The girls were in a daze and didn't hear much of the introduction to the rules when Gunther appeared.
Finally, with Lewis's announcement of the start of the competition, the event officially kicked off.
