In the dim corridor.

Qin An, who was lost in deep thought, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Oh no... Old Hu! The key to unlocking the fourth floor of the Treasure Spirit Burial Tower lies within the stone monkey! Originally, we only needed to align the stone monkey with the exit of the cross-shaped corridor to reach the fifth floor!"

Hear this.

Hu Jizhou had a premonition that something was wrong.

He swallowed and said, "What now?"

Qin An said with a grim expression, "Horse! The horse in the Chinese zodiac represents freedom and unrestrainedness! We pushed the stone horse over! As a result, the stone statues of the other eleven zodiac animals also began to move... The stone horse at the beginning of the corridor is their mechanism."

Grass!

Make it more difficult for yourself?

"Then, Brother Qin An...just tell me! What should we do now?" Hu Jizhou stood up with a firm look as if he would follow Qin An's lead.

Qin An said calmly, "Go back! The matter is settled. We can only pray that the stone statues don't trip us up! Mark the way along the way! Bring the archaeological team to the Stone Monkey as well!"

"Okay!" Hu Jizhou nodded.

So the two of them relied on their memories of when they came here and carved arrows on the wall with the black gold ancient knife as they walked.

“Squeak…”

After Qin An carved an arrow on a wall with a black gold ancient knife, he took Hu Jizhou back.

The view stays on the arrow and slowly moves downwards.

It was a stone dog with its tongue sticking out... The stone dog stood still, allowing the floor beneath its feet to carry its body forward.

The wall with arrows carved on it was also moved.

"Chuckles..."

The two walls with arrows carved into them quietly swapped positions... The arrow that was supposed to point right was now pointing left! And the arrow that was supposed to point left was now pointing right!

The order is reversed!

The reason why Qin An and Hu Jizhou stayed in the corridor for so long!

The main reason was that they spent too much time thinking in front of the stone monkey, and it only took them 20 minutes to walk back without stopping.

Qin An was secretly annoyed when he appeared in front of the knocked-down stone horse again!

After all, I am a veteran in the tomb raiding field!

The leader of the northern faction!

How could he have set off the mechanism in the tomb? Why make such a stupid mistake?

Perhaps he sensed Qin An's thoughts.

Hu Jizhou reached out and patted Qin An on the shoulder, saying comfortingly, "Brother Qin An... even the wisest can make mistakes! Besides, haven't you figured out the mechanism on the fourth floor of the Treasure Spirit Burial Tower?"

"Ah."

Qin An said lightly.

Then he took Hu Jizhou around the stone horse and turned to where the archaeological team was.

The two people just appeared in front of the archaeological team.

Everyone who was still sitting on the ground stood up immediately.

"Brother Qin An! Old Hu! You are finally back!" Hawkeye said excitedly.

However, this was not a very friendly situation for Qin An and Hu Jizhou! The light from more than a dozen military flashlights shone on their faces... Anyone would subconsciously close their eyes.

And after everyone noticed this phenomenon.

He also hurriedly shone the flashlight on the ceiling.

After recovering.

Qin An then looked at Zhang Sitian and Yang Lele and asked, "Are you two okay?"

The two women quickly responded: "Yeah! We are much better!"

Seeing that the two wounded were alive and well, Qin An's slightly bad mood improved a little, but not much.

"Let's go! Let's go to the fifth floor of the Baoling Burial Pagoda and uncover the coffin of the King of Foyinku Kingdom! We're running low on supplies!"

Done.

Qin An turned around and walked into the corridor first.

Seeing that Qin An's face was not very good, the other members of the archaeological team did not dare to ask what the mechanism on the fourth floor was, and quickly lined up in a long queue and followed him.

Although Qin An and Hu Jizhou had been to this corridor once!

But the rest of the people were coming in for the first time...so they felt a little curious when they saw the stone statues of the twelve zodiac animals on the ground.

Stone rabbit!

Stone sheep!

Stone Tiger!

Stone cow!

Stone rat!

Seeing the stone statue on the ground with such exquisite carving craftsmanship, even the three emo old academicians screamed in amazement.

"Is this white marble? That's volcanic rock?!"

Xu Guozhou couldn't let go of the stone statue on the ground.

He even wanted to call his old friend who had been working in geography for many years to watch the live broadcast and let him see if there was a dormant volcano on the island of Foyinkuguo?

The group continued walking forward.

But the further Qin An walked, the more he felt something was wrong...

It seems like the direction is wrong!

But he was clearly walking in the direction of the arrow he had carved. How could he have gone the wrong way?

Even Hu Jizhou who was following behind him noticed it!

"Brother Qin An... why do I feel like we have never been to this road before? Why is there an arrow carved by you on the wall?" Hu Jizhou hurriedly walked to Qin An and whispered in his ear.

Qin An said calmly, "I've discovered this as well... We underestimated the mechanism on the fourth floor again! I didn't expect that this mechanism could even swap the positions of the walls!"

Now the two of them were in a dilemma.

"So what should we do now?" Hu Jizhou asked.

"Keep going forward... I want to see where this mechanism will lead us!" Qin An simply gave up.

The group continued walking forward.

Until a stone dog with its tongue sticking out suddenly appeared in the center of the corridor ahead.

This stone dog doesn't play by the rules at all!

Originally, the stone statues of the twelve zodiac animals appeared at the corners or forks of the corridor...but this stone dog appeared right in the middle of the "I"-shaped corridor.

Like a road dog!

Obviously this corridor does not reach the end...

"This...what's going on?" Hu Jizhou put his hand on the handle of the Vajra Umbrella. Once the stone dog showed signs of rushing over, he would open the Vajra Umbrella to block Brother Qin An.

"Don't act rashly!"

Qin An stopped Hu Jizhou's actions.

"Dogs represent loyalty and bravery... This stone dog must be expressing its loyalty to the ruler of the Buddhist Kingdom! Furthermore, in ancient times, dogs were often suspected of being the emperor's eyes and ears..."

Speaking of it.

Qin An pushed aside the archaeological team members behind him and raised his flashlight to shine behind him.

really!

In the corridor behind the archaeological team!

The twelve zodiac stone statues that had appeared before were like a scene from Zootopia! They lined up in twos and threes, looking at the archaeological team as if they were prey!

[Holy crap! How did these stone statues appear here?]

[The Bull Demon is terrifying... I was taking screenshots of these statues earlier! Now that they've suddenly appeared, I think I'm experiencing the uncanny valley!]

[No? Shouldn't our focus be on the movement of these twelve zodiac statues?]

"What's going on... Why are they blocking the archaeological team now? Are they planning to crush them to death?"

[Are you a fake account of a Master of Archaeology? 】

"How is that possible?! Have you forgotten the stone horse that stopped Brother Qin An earlier? He just reached out and knocked it over! Even if these stone statues attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for Brother Qin An and Lao Hu!"

[Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, chicken, dog... That's not right! Where are the stone monkey and stone pig? Why don't I see these two stone statues?]

...........

In the corridor.

The archaeological team members were obviously panicked.

They had never imagined that the stone statues they had thought were lifelike were actually alive! They could move!

"Brother Qin An...what's going on?"

Xu Guozhou quickly squeezed into the crowd.

Because he wanted to see the stone statues of the Chinese zodiac, he, Zhang Weizhi, and Lin Yipeng had walked at the back. But now, seeing the densely packed stone statues behind him, he quickly pulled a few special forces soldiers to the back.

See this.

Qin An, Hu Jizhou and Gu Wuyan looked at each other.

Subsequently.

Hu Jizhou retreated quietly behind the archaeological team.

He has a Vajra Umbrella!

Once the stone statue behind him rushed over... Hu Jizhou could still use the Vajra Umbrella to resist for a while, but he didn't know that Qin An had replaced his Vajra Umbrella with a new one.

He only knew that his Vajra Umbrella was broken.

Even so.

He didn't back down at all when he received Qin An's eye signal!

And the look he gave to Gu Wuyan was to ask her to protect Jiang Liuli, Zhang Sitian and Yang Lele.

After doing all this!

Qin An suddenly drew out the black gold ancient sword and swung out a blade of energy to cut towards the stone dog!

The sword energy has not arrived yet!

The stone dog's smile, which was originally sticking out its tongue, instantly disappeared... Its mouth closed, and it looked like it was ready for battle.
