Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

Chapter 117 Exploring the Tomb

"It's about to start, let's go get our competition bags." Sean tightened his backpack and led the girls to follow the crowd towards the event venue.

The so-called competition package is actually a map of the treasure hunt site for the contestants to use.

This is a place with several tables next to each other, and a partition area made of wooden stakes and hemp ropes. A large speaker tied to the wooden stakes broadcasts precautions in a loop.

[If any unexpected situation occurs during the competition, please do not panic, shout on the spot, and staff will come to help. 】

"This is your competition bag, which contains a map and some necessary small items. Please keep it carefully and don't lose it." A sweet and crisp voice kept repeating at the end of the crowd, without any impatience in the tone.

This distinctive voice belonged to none other than Penny, who was standing at the entrance of the venue at this moment. Her bare face was covered with a few beads of sweat because of the enthusiasm of the crowd, and from time to time she had to deal with the chatter and compliments of the elderly.

"I was wondering why I didn't see this girl along the way. She said she had to take care of students that day and didn't have time to decline the invitation. It turns out she secretly came here to help as a volunteer." Sean shook his head. "Is she afraid that she will affect my participation in the festival?"

"Penny!" Abby wanted to say hello.

"Shh~" Sean hurriedly pulled her back and started whispering with the other girls.

After a while, it was Sean's turn.

"Thank you for your hard work," Sean was the first to greet Penny, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your hard work~" The girls behind him followed suit, their sweet voices enough to make people feel numb.

"What is this?" Penny was stunned for a moment, looking at the group of beautiful girls behind Sean, and then she laughed. "Have fun." She handed over the map in her hand.

Rather than participating in the competition, Penny prefers to be a member of the back-up team and provide support from the back, which is why she is here as a volunteer to distribute supplies.

"Thank you, together?" Sean saw the opportunity and squeezed close to Penny, standing with her.

Penny hesitated.

"Yes, if we finish distributing the information here early, Sister Penny can go see the children. I just saw Vincent clamoring to see her teacher." Emily showed her wit.

Abby and Haley were already walking towards the wooden table where the race bags were.

Seeing that she had to do something, Penny didn't insist: "Thank you everyone." She secretly rolled her eyes at Sean, as if to say that he was forcing her to buy the product.

One man and six women worked together to distribute the competition packets before the competition.

"Come on, I'll cheer you up." Penny took off the speaker tied to her, "The time is almost up, don't delay."

Penny pretended to be angry. She pushed Sean's waist with her delicate body and pushed him out of the venue in front of the other girls who were watching the show.

Coming leisurely, leaving in a hurry.

After parting with Penny, Sean and his group sprinted to catch up with the main group of contestants.

"Huff~ Let's separate here." Haley said breathlessly.

"Alright, three teams, three tombs. Just enough for each team to go to one." Sean unfolded the map and looked at it. "I'll give you the one in the front. Abi, let's go to the one in the middle."

In order to avoid suspicion of malicious teaming, the six-member team chose to separate at the entrance.

"See you then." Sean called the four girls' names and said goodbye to them.

-----------------

At the half-person-high round arch entrance made of bluestone, the light becomes dimmer as you go down the steps.

In the nooks and crannies where the yellow sand has piled up, dry grass stalks grow along the cracks between the stones, glowing hazy in the refraction of the sunlight.

"There's a problem. This pile of sand is too high." Abi walked over and kicked it down. A round object was brought out by the sand.

"Master, one." Abby ran over quickly, showing off.

"Not bad, a good start, you deserve a reward." Sean took the egg and observed it. It was the size of a fist, and the surface was dyed with various colors. He shook it in his hand and could feel the object inside hitting the eggshell.

"Master, please open it and take a look." Abby came closer, with her tender face almost touching Sean's.

How could I not answer my disciple's request? With a little force, the entire shell broke apart, and a statue appeared among the debris.

"It's actually a rare model: a bronze chicken statue." Abby compared it with the illustration provided in the competition package. "I got 3 points." Abby was proud.

"God's chosen lucky star, Master's golden legend depends on you."

"Hehe~ Leave it to your disciple, Master. I will take you flying today." Abi seemed very confident.

When forming the team, Sean clearly told Abby that he would not use any abilities during the competition and that she would have to rely on herself.

Abby agreed to this without any hesitation, because she just wanted to team up with her master, nothing else.

"Go down from here and pass through a long and narrow corridor to reach the octagonal antechamber." Sean looked at the map and said, "This is one of the eight entrances. I wonder if we will meet other teams in the antechamber."

After walking up dozens of steps and turning a spiral bend, an orange light appeared below.

As the rock wall slowly moved out of sight, a circular stone hall appeared in front of us. This was the antechamber of the tomb.

Sean and Abby slowly walked out of the arched passage. There were seven other passages of the same size distributed on both sides of the main passage.

The entire front room is about the size of a basketball court. The rock wall is full of hollowed-out spaces of varying sizes. These holes were originally where murals or stone sculptures were placed, but now only yellow sand is piled up on them.

The center is empty and there is nothing in it. If one wants to hide something, the only way is to use the hollowed-out spaces on the rock wall.

The flame of the kerosene lamp on the stone wall flickered, providing lighting, and through the flame one could almost hear the sound of the wick bursting.

At this time, there were already five or six teams conducting a carpet search in the front hall.

In addition, Sean noticed that there was an acquaintance - Hunter McCaroo was standing guard here. He stood in the dark area not covered by the firelight, and observed the people in the front room motionlessly.

Noticing that Sean had spotted him, he nodded in understanding.

While Sean was observing his surroundings, Abby had already selected an area and was checking it one by one.

There were some places that were out of reach, and Sean had to hug Abby to get them.

-----------------

"These tombs were previously developed by the Pelican Town Museum." On the other side, Gunther was fulfilling his duties as a host.

He was leading the experts to visit the underground tombs, and of course his ultimate goal was the secret room.

According to the plan, after Sean made a noise, he would lead a team of experts to arrive and put the final nail in the coffin.
