Chapter 134 Entering the Tomb
After thorough preparation, Ying Ni, along with an experienced professor and two senior archaeological experts, embarked on a journey to the deepest depths of the Loulan ruins. Each of them was filled with a reverence for history and a curiosity about the unknown, their hearts filled with a passion for exploration. When they arrived at their destination, the setting sun's afterglow gently cast a shadow over the ancient ruins, as if revealing millennia of secrets and the vicissitudes of history in its final radiance. They discovered a cave entrance left by a previous expedition, a mysterious portal leading to an unknown underground world. Gu Qingxiao, the team's leader, prepared the necessary ropes, and one by one, they descended down the ropes, seemingly stepping into a mysterious underground kingdom where countless unsolved mysteries lay hidden.
As they went deeper underground, the air grew increasingly humid, the atmosphere almost suffocating. In this ancient subterranean world, time seemed to whisper, telling stories of the past. Everyone held their breath, nervously awaiting the next miracle or challenge. Their heartbeats mingled with the echoes from the depths, and every footstep seemed to pulsate in sync with the pulse of history. They knew that each step might unveil a new layer of history, and each echo might lead to new discoveries.
Facing three forking roads, Ying Ni pulled an ancient compass from her backpack and began carefully determining the direction. In the dim light, the compass needle trembled gently, as if responding to her deepest anticipation and desire to explore the unknown. Meanwhile, Gu Yanqing meticulously searched for any traces at each fork in the road, not missing a single detail, as if searching for lost clues that might lead them to the right path. Miao Yimo also released his own locating insects, which fluttered between the forks in the road, attempting to find the correct path. However, they too seemed lost, unable to determine which was the correct path.
Ying Ni stood at the entrance of the cave, gazing at the poisonous insects flying around in the air. They seemed to be moving in a random pattern, but her intuition told her that there was a clue to all this. Her heartbeat quickened, and a flash of inspiration struck her mind, as if she had found some mysterious connection. She turned, her eyes gleaming with determination, and said to the others, "There's a connection here. I understand! This isn't just a simple passage, but a complex maze. We must navigate it with caution. Every choice may affect our fate, and every turn may hide unknown dangers."
Upon hearing Ying Ni's discovery, everyone gathered around, their eyes gleaming with anticipation and nervousness. After a heated discussion, they decided to stop hesitating and choose a fork in the road to enter this unknown world. Ying Ni and Gu Qingxiao walked in front, their steps firm and powerful, as if they had already seen hope ahead. They knew that every step could be the key to new discoveries.
The archaeological team and Muya followed closely behind, their eyes filled with curiosity about the unknown and a desire to explore. The tools and instruments in their hands gleamed faintly in the dim light, as if guiding their progress. They knew that each tool could prove crucial at a crucial moment, helping them uncover the mysteries of the underground world.
Gu Yanqing, Jingkong, and Miao Yimo were at the end of the group, their eyes revealing a hint of vigilance and alertness. Weapons and magical instruments in hand, always ready to respond to any danger and ensure the safety of the entire group. They knew that this ancient underground world harboured countless unknown dangers, and they must remain vigilant at all times.
A group of people made their way through the ancient city's underground passages, their footsteps echoing in the narrow space. The air was thick with dampness and mustiness, as if every step was treading on the dust of history. Their clothes had been torn by various traps, and their faces were smeared with dirt and sweat, making them look disheveled. Professor Zhang, the leader of the archaeological team, frowned, knowing that the road ahead was long, and these ingenious and lethal traps were only the beginning. They had to be even more cautious, for every corner could hide a deadly trap.
Finally, they arrived at a spacious tomb chamber. The walls were covered in ancient totems, as if telling a story from a distant past. In the center of the chamber sat a massive stone coffin, surrounded by neatly arranged corpses. Ying Ni and the others approached cautiously, noting that some of the corpses' clothing had decayed, while others were clearly dressed in attire from the Republican era. While the corpses were gruesome, they felt a sense of relief—at least they hadn't encountered any fresh corpses. This suggested they might be the first explorers to enter the tomb, and this discovery undoubtedly bolstered their confidence to continue their exploration.
Ying Ni squatted down and carefully examined one of the bodies. She noticed the distinct joints in the fingers, and despite the shrunken skin, the outlines of the body before birth were still discernible. Gently parting the clothing, she discovered an ancient copper coin hidden within. This coin might hold the key to solving some of their mysteries. Meanwhile, the other members of the archaeological team were busy at work, meticulously recording every detail, hoping to uncover more clues to this ancient underground world.
The group continued deeper, their footsteps echoing through the ancient tomb passage. The old professor peered through the dim light, carefully examining the murals on the surrounding walls. These exquisite patterns seemed to tell an ancient story, and she knew that the murals ended at the main tomb chamber. He paused and whispered to Ying Ni and the others, "We're almost to the main tomb chamber. Everyone, be careful."
Everyone's alert, their hearts racing, as if they could sense the mysterious aura emanating from the depths of the tomb. They continued forward, their gaze fixed firmly on the front. In the distance, the door to the main tomb loomed, a mysterious barrier awaiting their discovery. However, right in the passage leading to the main tomb, several figures lay motionless.
Ying Ni sensed something strange and quickly halted the advance. Her eyes flickered with vigilance and suspicion as she whispered, "There's someone ahead. Let's observe the situation." Everyone held their breath, their gaze fixed on the figures lying on the ground, filled with unease and curiosity. They knew every step forward could mean a matter of life or death, so everyone remained on high alert, prepared for any eventuality.
