Popularize tomb robbing: The state asks whether gold can be divided to determine the burial site

The archaeological team was brought to the lakeside via raft... While eating compressed biscuits, they asked Qin An what had happened down there.

Qin An briefly recounted the strange events he had encountered at the bottom of the lake. Then, he took out the waist token he had retrieved from the bronze coffin from his system space and tossed it to Zhang Yunfeng.

As Qin An finished chewing his food, he said, "Professor Zhang... take a look at this waist tag. What's its origin? I retrieved it from a bronze coffin at the bottom of the lake."

The battle just now has exhausted Qin An's strength!

He desperately needs to replenish his energy.

So after saying that, he started eating the bread in big bites.

Zhang Yunfeng took the badge and adjusted his glasses. Seeing this, Shao Wei quickly leaned his head on Zhang Yunfeng's shoulder. The two senior academicians frowned as they looked at the badge.

The front of the waist tag features a bull's head, while the back depicts a bear—two creatures that are clearly unrelated.

half an hour.

Zhang Yunfeng guessed, "This bull's head must be the totem of the Chi You tribe! Because in ancient legends... Chi You was born with prominent horns. So the bull became the totem of the Jiuli tribe led by Chi You!"

Shao Wei chimed in, "So, if that's the case... the bear pattern on the back of the waist tag represents the Yellow Emperor's tribe! Because the Yellow Emperor was known as Youxiongshi, the bear was the totem of the Yellow Emperor's tribe."

The words fell to the ground.

Xie Wenjing was somewhat bewildered. "How could the totem of the Yellow Emperor's tribe and the totem of the Chi You tribe appear on the same waist tag? And even in the bronze coffin of Chi You's tomb?"

"this......."

Zhang Yunfeng and Shao Wei exchanged a glance, unsure of how to explain.

For a long time.

Zhang Yunfeng tentatively said, "Didn't the Chi You tribe suffer a defeat? And with their leader Chi You killed in battle... the Jiuli tribe might have split into two factions!"

"Two factions?" Hu Jizhou frowned.

Zhang Yunfeng continued, "One faction advocates peace! They advocate befriending the Yellow Emperor's tribe, while the other faction advocates revenge! They advocate resurrecting Chi You and then making a comeback."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone on the archaeological team present stopped what they were doing.

He looked at Zhang Yunfeng with some shock.

Even Qin An was somewhat surprised!

Whether it's the bull and bear totems on the waist tag, or the sunken corpse at the bottom of the lake, everything seems to confirm Zhang Yunfeng's conjecture.

"According to Professor Zhang... then those corpses at the bottom of the lake were all pro-peace faction members? They didn't want to resurrect Chi You! They only wanted to befriend the Yellow Emperor's tribe and live peacefully! But they were drowned by the faction in Chi You's tribe that advocated revenge?"

Gu Yang stared in disbelief as he voiced his thoughts.

Hear this.

Zhang Yunfeng shook his head and said, "I'm just guessing... We'll have to wait until this archaeological excavation is over and we can retrieve those bodies from the bottom of the lake for a detailed examination."

Everyone nodded.

After all, it involves the history of our ancestors.

We must be rigorous!

It was already eight or nine o'clock at night, and continuing to walk would only make us tired. It would be better to get some sleep by this lake where there would be no waves.

Think of this.

Qin An then instructed the archaeological team to spread out their sleeping bags and prepare to sleep near the lakeside, planning to set off the next day to head towards the main tomb chamber.

After walking for so long, everyone was naturally very tired and exhausted.

Hearing that I could rest.

One by one, they quickly took off their backpacks and began to lay out their sleeping bags.

After a quick rinse of my mouth and a wash of my face.

Everyone then crawled into their sleeping bags to prepare for sleep.

"Brother Qin An... do you think that giant squid is really 30 meters long? If it really is 30 meters long, how deep must this lake be?" Xie Wenjing whispered in Qin An's ear, her face slightly flushed.

I've finally gotten this close to my idol! Of course I have to find something to talk about and whisper to him, right? Otherwise, after all this research trip, we've barely had a single conversation! That would be such a waste!

at the same time.

Jiang Liuli and Gu Wuyan, who were sleeping to Qin An's left, both pricked up their ears with suspicion. They wondered if Xie Wenjing would take advantage of them while they slept and commit adultery.

Fortunately, Qin An did not seem to have much intention of talking to Xie Wenjing.

He simply replied, "The giant squid is indeed 30 meters long."

After a brief pause.

Qin An added, "This lake is indeed very deep!"

She realized that Qin An didn't seem to have much desire to communicate with her.

Xie Wenjing's face turned even redder!

So she hastily ended the conversation, saying, "It's good that the lake is deep! Those sunken corpses shouldn't swim to the surface! Goodnight, Brother Qin'an~"

Finish this sentence.

Xie Wenjing suppressed her inner turmoil and turned to sleep.

But Qin An couldn't fall asleep!

Oh shit!

Could those corpses really swim up?

Qin An sat up from his sleeping bag and turned to look at the lake... The lake was as calm as a concrete surface! There wasn't a single splash or ripple.

Seeing such a calm water surface.

Qin An secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Those corpses shouldn't be able to swim up, and even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to, since they still have bronze shackles on their ankles!

Even a living person with their feet tied cannot swim.

Not to mention a group of skeletons covered in green algae and barnacles?

Think of this.

Qin An completely relaxed!

He felt that he must have imagined the tomb of Chi You to be too dangerous, causing his mind to be constantly on edge, seeing ghosts in his cups and thus becoming suspicious and paranoid.

"Looks like I need to clear my head and get a good night's sleep."

Qin An thought to himself.

He then lay back down in his sleeping bag to sleep.

"Whoohoo-"

A slight, cool breeze blew from the depths of the lakeside.

A rare ripple appeared on the emerald green lake surface, and the snoring of the archaeological team members mingled with the "cooing" sounds of the Night Watch Gu echoed along the lakeside.

The military flashlight was extinguished.

The lakeside was pitch black, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

The night is deep.

"Cuckoo cuckoo..."

A series of bubbles rose from the bottom of the lake and eventually burst on the surface.

bottom of the lake.

The densely packed corpses suddenly swayed, and the bronze shackles on their ankles clicked open, revealing that these ancient artifacts could no longer restrain them.

The countless corpses swarmed out like bees from their hive!

They swam upstream onto the lake.
