"Rumble..." Accompanied by a deafening sound, the heavy stone tablet slowly descended under everyone's gaze, as if a giant from ancient times had been awakened, carrying an irresistible force.

The moment the stone tablet descended, the entire room seemed to awaken. The sound of machinery echoed in the empty space. Then, countless arrows, as if controlled by an invisible force, shot out from all directions of the room, weaving together in the air to form a dense giant net that enveloped everyone.

Although Zhang Hao possessed immense strength and an incredibly tough body, his range of coverage was limited. Faced with the overwhelming barrage of arrows, he was inevitably somewhat powerless to protect everyone.

He tried his best to build a defensive line for the people behind him with his body, but even so, many arrows still found the weak points in the defense, whizzing through the gaps next to his broad body and narrowly grazing the bodies of everyone.

Fortunately, Fatty, Xie Xiaohua, and their group were agile and quick-witted. With their years of training and experience, they were always able to avoid fatal blows at the last minute, which is why they weren't riddled with arrows.

"This won't do! I never imagined there was such a powerful mechanism hidden here!"

The fat man dodged the incoming arrows while panting heavily, his face filled with fear and unease.

"Yes, if this continues, we're afraid we'll all die from exhaustion."

Wu Tianzhen echoed, his voice trembling slightly, clearly also quite frightened by the sudden crisis.

Just then, Zhang Qilin, who had been silently defending, suddenly spoke:

"The stone tablet, the mechanism is on the stone tablet!"

Although his voice wasn't loud, it sounded exceptionally clear in the tense atmosphere.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao suddenly realized what was going on.

They did step on the stone tablet when they came down, which caused the stone tablet to fall and trigger the mechanism.

This mechanism is so cleverly designed, with each part linked to the next, that it is impossible to guard against it.

Having figured this out, Zhang Hao made a plan. He took a deep breath, used his body as a human shield, and led everyone to the stone tablet.

He hugged the stone tablet tightly with both hands, bent his legs, and then exerted force upwards as if he wanted to lift the entire stone tablet.

"Rumble..."

With Zhang Hao's full effort, he managed to slowly lift the stone tablet, which weighed tens of tons, onto the platform.

As the stone tablet was gradually restored to its original position, the arrows fired from the surrounding area gradually ceased.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for Zhang Hao's strength and wisdom.

"Brother Zhang Hao, you're really amazing! You managed to move such a heavy stone tablet!"

The fat man was the first to rush forward, patting Zhang Hao on the shoulder with a face full of amazement and gratitude.

"Yes, Brother Zhang Hao, you really saved our lives this time!"

Wu Tianzhen also stepped forward and said gratefully.

Zhang Hao smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, the fat man shouted and pointed to a section of wall next to the stone tablet, saying:

"Look everyone, there's a Hong family mark here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around and saw a striking red family symbol carved on the wall.

What does this mark mean?

The fat man asked curiously.

“This is the mark of the Red family, which means that we are on the right track.”

Wu Tianzhen explained, "It seems that this ancient tomb has intricate connections with the Hong family."

Next to the marker, the group found an opening with the words "Those who enter this door must abandon all hope" carved on either side.

The words were carved ominously on both sides of the cave entrance, sending chills down one's spine.

What does this sentence mean?

Ding Yudie couldn't help but ask.

Wu Tianzhen explained:

"This statement was actually meant to scare tomb raiders."

It means that this place is hell, and there is absolutely no hope of survival once you go in.

But we're professionals; we can't be intimidated by such threats.

Upon hearing this, the fat man chuckled and said:

"Shall we still go in?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao said with a firm gaze:

"Of course I'll go in."

This wasn't the first time someone had entered this tomb. Members of the Nine Gates had entered during the Republic of China era and left safely.

If we are careful and cautious, we will surely find a way out.

So, Zhang Hao led everyone inside through the door.

Behind the door was a tomb chamber, in the center of which stood a stone tablet. However, unlike the previous stone tablet, this tomb chamber was surrounded by many wooden boxes.

These wooden boxes looked ancient and were rotten. The gold and silver jewelry inside were scattered all over the ground, shimmering with an alluring light.

Upon seeing this, the fat man's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't help but drool.

As he reached out to pick up the scattered jewels, he muttered to himself:

"Honey, with so many treasures, this trip was definitely worth it!"

Seeing this, Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly.

He knew that although the fat man was greedy, he wasn't inherently bad.

In such a dangerous environment, as long as you remain vigilant and don't fall into a desperate situation because of greed, there's nothing to worry about.

As they carefully avoided the traps and mechanisms on the ground, they picked up the scattered jewels.

Although these jewels were priceless, what mattered more to them was finding the secrets of this ancient tomb and a way out.
