Tomb raiding: It all started with the kidnapping of Yin Xinyue

Page 171

At last.

Only Yin Xinyue and Li Xiaohu remained on this side.

Yin Xinyue stared at the dark abyss, shaking her head like a rattle-drum, refusing to swing across no matter what.

She repeatedly told them that she would just wait for them there.

Li Xiaohu smiled helplessly and said something he hadn't said in a long time: "Do you think you have a choice?"

He was worried about leaving Yin Xinyue here alone.

Yin Xinyue was also taken aback when she heard this.

Before she could react, Li Xiaohu pulled her into his arms and then tied her up with him.

The entire process was completed smoothly and efficiently.

After all, they've done this many times before, so it's something they're very familiar with.

Yin Xinyue didn't argue anymore. She closed her eyes, wrapped her limbs around Li Xiaohu, and hugged him tightly, not daring to let go even a little.

Li Xiaohu walked up to the rope and whispered, "Hold on tight."

Then he climbed onto the rope with both hands, swung, and slowly slid to the other side with Yin Xinyue.

Throughout the entire process, Yin Xinyue dared not open her eyes.

Li Xiaohu's voice rang in her ears again: "We're here, you can get down now."

Only then did she dare to open her eyes and timidly glance at the abyss behind her.

Then he quickly let go of Li Xiaohu and hurriedly straightened his clothes to cover up his embarrassment.

Li Xiaohu smiled.

They then began to examine the enormous reclining Buddha statue with the others.

They were trying to find a passage to the underground palace.

Li Xiaohu remembered that the access switch was on the lotus seat under the reclining Buddha.

I searched for ages.

Finally, I found a stone slab shaped like a lotus flower, and then I pressed it down hard!

"Click-clack-clack-clack..."

The sound of a digital amplifier vibrating could be heard.

The flower spirit on the Buddha's head exclaimed in surprise, "Sect Leader, Brother Little Tiger!"

"Come on up here quickly!"

"The Buddha's mouth opened!"

Upon hearing the sound, several people climbed onto the Buddha's head one by one.

They discovered that the reclining Buddha had opened its two thick lips, revealing the passage inside.

Partridge Whistle stuck his torch inside and discovered that the passage was vertically downward and quite deep.

Although there is a hanging ladder.

But after so many years of erosion, it has long since decayed beyond recognition and can no longer support people.

Partridge Whistle then took out the Sky-Piercing Rope.

He tied one end to the Buddha's head and was the first to crawl into the passage.

Li Xiaohu remembered that there was nothing particularly dangerous down there, but he still gave instructions:

"Once you're down there, don't act recklessly."

"Let's talk about it after I come down."

He could tell that Partridge Whistle was very excited and was afraid that he might ruin things in a moment of impulsiveness.

Partridge Whistle nodded reassuringly and slowly slid down the sky-piercing rope.

The others followed closely behind with 200.

This time, Yin Xinyue didn't let Li Xiaohu take her; instead, she wanted to try sliding down on her own.

We can't let Li Xiaohu carry us every time this happens.

Seeing Yin Xinyue's determination, Li Xiaohu didn't stop her and slid to the bottom of the passage first.

Yin Xinyue gripped the rope tightly, eager to try.

However, her unfamiliar skills made it difficult for her to maintain her balance on the rope, and she slid down a considerable distance in no time.

Finally, he fell off the rope.

Fortunately, Li Xiaohu had made preparations in advance and kept a close eye on her movements from below, catching her body when she fell.

Yin Xinyue got off Li Xiaohu.

He rubbed his palms, which ached from the rope, but his face wore a resolute expression, even a hint of smugness:

“It’s not that difficult.”

Li Xiaohu also encouraged him, saying, "It's already very good that you could do this for the first time."

"I'll teach you some more skills when I have time."

Yin Xinyue chuckled and agreed, "Okay."

Partridge Whistle, who had been waiting impatiently for some time, hurriedly said, "Let's go, you two."

"I can teach you later!"

Yin Xinyue stuck out her tongue shyly.

Li Xiaohu didn't care and gestured for Partridge Whistle to continue forward.

The space at the bottom of the passage is not large.

There just happened to be a passageway.

Partridge Whistle led the way into the passage.

The passage is not long, with neat stone slabs paving the ground and orderly stones on both sides.

The surface is covered with relief carvings featuring patterns characteristic of the Western Regions culture.

At the end stands a tomb door with nine horizontal and seven vertical nails embedded in it, and some colorful paintings are faintly visible on it.

However, due to the limited distance illuminated by the firelight, it was difficult to see clearly at first.

Partridge Whistle subconsciously quickened his pace.

But there has been no progress yet.

I noticed something was wrong.

"Wait a minute." Li Xiaohu stopped Partridge Whistle first and said, "There's something wrong with this tomb passage."

The floor and walls are too neat and orderly.

Even the gaps between the stone slabs and blocks were connected in an unusually smooth manner.

There are definitely many deadly traps hidden inside!

Partridge Whistle, a seasoned tomb raider, immediately saw the problem and nodded, saying:

There's an old saying in our industry.

"The mystical path is easy to enter, but the esoteric way is deadly!"

The tomb passage is so short, and the tomb entrance is right in front of us; there's definitely something fishy going on.

Partridge Whistle and Li Xiaohu exchanged a glance, then placed the torch in their hands on the ground and slowly rolled it over!

All eyes were fixed on the torch.

Be mindful at all times.

"Crack!"

The torch suddenly rolled onto a floor tile, pressing it down slightly.

Suddenly, several clanging sounds rang out!

Suddenly, several huge, sharp guillotines burst out from the gaps between the floor tiles and the wall!

With a loud "clang!"

The torches on the ground were instantly shredded into several pieces!

Then several more spinning blades flew out, swirling back and forth in the gap, completely shredding the torch into pieces.

Only a few flickering lights illuminated the tomb passage.
