[Those mystical people who said Qin An possessed magical powers, did you hear that? It's not as bizarre as you all imagine. Even Qin An himself said he simply used a mechanism in Chi You's tomb!]

[Exactly! Do you guys really think Brother Qin An can create a crater out of thin air? What are you thinking?]

[There's no need to be so harsh... We're all having a discussion! It's normal to have some disagreements! Besides, weren't you all shocked when you saw the crater suddenly appear beneath the archaeological team's feet?]

[That's good then... No need for cultivation! I can score 658 on the college entrance exam! What if spiritual energy suddenly revives and everyone can cultivate? What if I don't have the aptitude? All that hard work to get that 658 on the college entrance exam would be for nothing!]

"If that's what you mean... then you should hurry up and revive the spiritual energy! Someone like me, who only scored 200-something on the college entrance exam, might actually have great aptitude!"

..........................................

This is a fact clarified by Qin An himself—he did not use any magical techniques to create pits out of thin air, but simply utilized the mechanisms in Chi You's tomb.

Therefore, the viewers in the live stream and the archaeological team all believed his statement!

Only the Paranormal Observation Bureau, thousands of miles away, expressed disbelief; they were currently watching the clips from Qin An's live stream at a snippet.

Even the slow motion speed was set to 0.1!

They still didn't see clearly how the mechanism was triggered.

The only explanation is that these pits were created by Qin An himself, almost the instant his hand touched the ground.

Although I still don't quite believe it!

But as Sherlock Holmes once said: Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

And that's the truth!

Brother Qin'an really has the magical ability to conjure up caves out of thin air!

However, Qin An was currently "on official business," so the members of the Supernatural Observation Bureau could only keep it to themselves and wait until Qin An came out of Chi You's tomb before having a detailed discussion with him.

at the same time.

While inside Chi You's tomb, Qin An thought to himself: "Perhaps the people outside have already become curious about my abilities. I need to clear Chi You's tomb as soon as possible and then use the rewards to strengthen myself."

Although whether or not one is a citizen of the motherland is one thing.

But at least we can't let people manipulate us at will, right? And then we can slice and study it?

There are also people like Jiang Liuli and Gu Wuyan.

I'll need to exchange some items from the system space to strengthen them as well, so they don't become my weaknesses.

Think of this.

Qin An decisively said, "Are you all rested? If you are, let's continue towards the main tomb chamber! Let's try to finish this mission as soon as possible and get some sleep."

Qin An's words were actually a question to the members of the archaeological team.

But there was an undeniable air of authority in his tone!

He seemed determined to continue walking in, regardless of whether everyone else had rested properly.

Fortunately, none of the members of the archaeological team felt tired.

After responding, he followed Qin An and continued walking forward.

This empty, muddy area is quite spacious.

Yang Lele got bored after a while of not speaking, so she blinked her big eyes and asked, "Brother Qin An! What was going on with those ghost soldiers just now? And... why couldn't those ghost soldiers hurt us after we hid in the pit?"

As soon as these words came out.

Before Qin An could respond.

The rest of the archaeological team pricked up their ears!

They had wanted to ask Qin An this question before, but they didn't dare to because of his serious face. Now, Yang Lele has taken the lead and asked the question that had been on their minds.

Therefore, everyone naturally pricked up their ears to listen to the secret behind it.

Qin An said, "Those ghost soldiers are very likely the Chi You army that died tragically in the Battle of Zhuolu! The people who built Chi You's tomb collected their remains and buried them in this muddy ground beneath our feet."

"Ah... right beneath our feet?"

Wang Yanyan looked at her feet with some fear.

In other words, every step they take now is stepping on those corpses?

After glancing at Wang Yanyan.

Qin An said calmly, "Although it was indeed our walking on their corpses that triggered these ghost soldiers... the appearance of ghost soldiers will not be so frequent, and it is impossible for them to appear a second time in a short period of time."

Upon hearing what Qin An said!

Only then did everyone feel relieved.

"As for the drumbeats and horns, they are mechanisms specifically used to command these ghost soldiers. I noticed that these ghost soldiers are obedient and have no physical form! They must keep moving forward at all times and will only kill enemies that are directly in their way."

Hearing Qin An's words.

Jiang Liuli suddenly realized!

"No wonder these ghostly soldiers swarmed in from all directions... It turns out they only kill enemies in their path! And because they have no physical form, they won't fall into the underground pits... So that's why we need to hide in the caves?"

Qin An nodded.

this time!

The members of the archaeological team truly understood.

But thinking about this...

Everyone was full of admiration for Qin An's intellect... What kind of genius is he? How could he come up with such a perfect solution in such a short time?

The seemingly insurmountable Yin soldiers can be dealt with without the slightest effort!

The archaeological team talked as they walked, and soon reached the end of the muddy area.

What comes into view is a 20-meter-high spiral wooden staircase! Its structure consists of a central stone pillar, around which are wooden steps.

The wooden stairs wind their way up!

At the end of the spiral wooden staircase is a cave located 20 meters above the rock face.

"What... what is this?"

Hu Jizhou was somewhat unsure.

He found it hard to imagine that anyone in ancient times could have created such a spiral wooden staircase.

Zhang Yunfeng adjusted his glasses, initially somewhat dismissive, but upon closer inspection of the spiral wooden staircase's material, he exclaimed in shock, "This...this...this is a heavenly staircase?"

Heavenly Ladder?

The members of the archaeological team were all somewhat puzzled.

This is nothing more than a simple spiral wooden staircase!

How could it be a ladder to heaven?

Hu Jizhou quickly interrupted, "Academician Zhang, are you alright? Don't get obsessed like Academician Jiang is with archaeology of the Qi King's tomb... We all know that the Heavenly Ladder was a passage connecting the gods and the mortal world in ancient times, but the Heavenly Ladder in ancient times refers to Kunlun Mountain! What does it have to do with this spiral wooden staircase?"
