Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Wu Xie shared his guess with everyone, and then, while everyone was deep in thought, he turned around and began searching for the hidden mechanisms on the walls, in the passageways, and in the murals.

The others didn't linger in their own thoughts for long. Since Wu Xie had given them a direction, they should just follow it. So, they dispersed and began to explore the clues and mechanisms in the surrounding area.

When it comes to tomb mechanisms, the Zhang family in Northeast China is the best!

When it comes to finding the right connections, this is exactly where Zhang Qilin, a member of the Zhang family, came in.

Clinging to Zhang Qilin's back with his legs wrapped around his waist, Qin, who hadn't gotten off, was thoroughly enjoying the show. While everyone scattered to search for the mechanism, he secretly whispered something in Zhang Qilin's ear, teasing him.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qilin's luck was so good that he only touched a few murals before hearing the mechanism activate. Qin Henian stared at Zhang Qilin's profile for a long time, his eyes shining, completely mesmerized… It seems the Qilin's luck is truly on its own; his… partner is a Qilin… Hehehe… *rubs*

The fluffy head nestled against Zhang Qilin's shoulder and neck, nuzzling against him.

Qin Henian cuddled and snuggled against him, while Zhang Qilin used his fingertips to manipulate the mechanism in the wall, his eyes filled with helplessness, but the corners of his mouth subtly turned up half an degree.

Happy. His wife loves him and likes him!!

"Ahem... Little brother found the mechanism, that's amazing, no wonder you're the best one in our Iron Triangle!"

"Then let's hurry inside and find the treasure!"

The moment Wu Xie and the others heard the mechanism hum, they turned around and saw what had just happened. They wanted to say something, but their throats felt like they were blocked by reeds. After an awkward silence of about ten seconds, it was Fatty Wang who broke the silence first.

The mechanism was found in a mural. As Zhang Qilin solved the mechanism, an automatically rotating stone door appeared next to him. It was pitch black inside, and when he shone a flashlight on it, it was completely empty.

Upon entering the tomb chamber, Wang Pangzi's initial excitement vanished instantly.

The tomb chamber was very large, very large in the traditional sense, estimated to be at least five or six hundred square meters, but inside there was nothing but an ancient bell hanging high and an old tape recorder under the bell. It was completely empty and could be seen through at a glance.

Based on their previous speculation about the thunder, everyone is now extremely vigilant about anything that might make a sound in the tomb.

Upon seeing such a large bell in the tomb, people kept their distance as far as possible, and even spoke in hushed tones.

"There's nothing here. Let's look for the mechanism in the next tomb. Be careful not to touch that hanging ancient bell. Let's hurry!"

An ancient bell is equivalent to sound; placing a tape recorder under an ancient bell is equivalent to adding a speaker to a mobile phone, or an amplifier.

Get away, get away, back away, back away...

Wu Xie had the idea of ​​avoiding it, so he didn't approach the ancient bell in the center of the tomb. Given his unorthodox nature, he was genuinely afraid that something unexpected might happen.

The way to avoid accidents is for you to stay away from me; if you don't touch me, I won't touch you either.

Snap! Rumble...

The mechanism clicked again, and another stone door spun open, revealing another tomb chamber. And it was Zhang Qilin who activated the mechanism once more.

Upon hearing Wu Xie's request, Zhang Qilin, carrying Qin Henian on his back, immediately began searching for mechanisms in the tomb. With the help of his X-ray vision, he naturally found the rotating lock mechanism under a stone slab on the ground. His long golden fingernails inserted into the crack in the stone, pried open the slab, and unlocked the mechanism door. Achievement +2.

Having found the mechanism and opened the door, the group moved on to another tomb chamber.

It was pitch black inside the tomb, with jagged rocks scattered throughout. The floor was covered with unidentified dark brown objects, and a stench that assaulted the senses.

"What is that on the ground? It stinks! It smells like poop! Little Qilin, let's go! I don't want to stay in such a smelly place."

Upon entering the tomb chamber, the stench that hit Qin Henian immediately made him feel nauseous, almost causing him to lose his composure. He hurriedly urged Zhang Qilin, who was carrying him, to hurry up, and then shut off his sense of smell.

"it is good"

Zhang Qilin agreed; he didn't want to stay in that smell either.

As for the others, those who could hold their breath did so, while those who couldn't gag, their faces turning deathly pale.

Needless to say, "out of tacit understanding," the group of people spontaneously began looking for the mechanism.

rustling sounds... rustling sounds...

As the group moved on the ground, a different sound suddenly came from the dark brown substance. Small blue-black insects emerged from the dark brown substance on the ground, their long tentacles on their heads and thin, cicada-wing-like wings on their backs seemingly telling the group what they were.

"Sea cockroaches! Quick, use fire!"

Wu Xie immediately recognized what the group of insects on the ground were, and also immediately thought of their nemesis. He instantly pulled out a flamethrower from his bag and sprayed it at the ground. The flames burned the sea cockroaches on the ground, making a crackling sound.

The others reacted just as quickly, pulling out flamethrowers from their bags and firing them at the ground. Instantly, the temperature inside the tomb rose, and sparks flew everywhere.

But as swarms of sea cockroaches emerged from under the dark brown object, combined with the high temperature, the debris on the ground, and the dead sea cockroaches, a stench filled the air, making everyone's faces pale.

"No, it stinks too much!"

"Ah, Tianzhen Hua'er, Fatty can't take it anymore! Brother! Brother, Henian! Luo Wa! Quick, quick, find the mechanism! Fatty can't hold it in any longer!"

Wang Pangzi recklessly used the flamethrower, and he had two in his hands. The more intensely it burned, the stronger the stench became, which was torture for him.

Tormented by the triple torment of smell, stomach, and brain, he finally opened his mouth and started yelling, disregarding everything else.

"Stop arguing! It's not just you who can't stand this smell; everyone can! Let's quickly huddle together. Xiaohua and Xiaoge, you two go find the mechanism. The rest of us will form a semi-circle to protect them and give them time to find it."

Wu Xie knew that he was the team leader this time, so naturally he should make the decision in this situation.

The more critical the moment, the more important it is to remain calm. Wu Xie, while smelling the overwhelming stench and using his flamethrower, mentally calculated who among them could find the traps fastest. Besides Xiao Ge, only Xiao Hua, who had some experience with mechanisms, was available. He didn't know what He Nian's men were capable of, so he could only assign them to help out. Under these circumstances, Wu Xie quickly made a decision and shouted.
