Everyone can see it.
I couldn't help but gasp.
If Partridge Whistle had just rashly walked in...
Now they are the ones being cut into pieces!
Fortunately, Li Xiaohu gave them a timely warning, which saved them from disaster.
The group quickly came to their senses.
Li Xiaohu asked, "Did you remember which stones were safe just now?"
Partridge Whistle nodded, then asked Red Girl, "Red Girl, is there a way to disarm the traps here?"
The girl in red walked to the walls on both sides and observed them carefully for a moment. Then she shook her head helplessly and replied, "No."
"There's simply nowhere to attack from here."
"We have no choice but to force our way through."
Li Xiaohu encouraged everyone, saying, "It's alright, the tomb passage isn't long. Just try it a few more times and remember the safe spots."
In fact, given his and Partridge Whistle's skills...
Even if the mechanism is triggered, you can still force your way through.
But not necessarily for others.
Especially Yin Xinyue, she will definitely be shredded to pieces by the guillotine in the mechanism!
Upon hearing this, the young woman nodded, gave a sheepish laugh, and said, "Well, that's the only way."
Then they brought two more torches, tied several strips of cloth to them, and sent them out again along the path they had just rolled.
This time, the torch rolled quite a distance before triggering the mechanism just as it was about to reach the tomb entrance.
Then the blades that burst out from behind were shattered into pieces.
Partridge Whistle noted down the safe section of the road again.
Then send out the last torch to test the final stretch of distance.
The torch rolled safely along the path ahead.
They finally rolled to the tomb entrance.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
"Follow my footsteps closely, and don't make a mistake!" Partridge Whistle said before stepping into the tomb passage.
The old foreigner followed closely behind.
But they hadn't even taken two steps.
Hua Ling suddenly screamed "Ah!"
"What's wrong?!"
Partridge Whistle turned around instinctively and saw Hua Ling pointing ahead with a look of terror on her face, saying, "There's a ghost!"
Partridge Whistle turned around again!
Suddenly, two burly, golden figures appeared, one on the left and one on the right, floating from the end of the tomb passage!
Both golden figures wore golden crowns and golden armor, their brows furrowed in anger as they glared at them.
Each of them held a mountain-splitting talisman and an earth-shaking hammer in their hands!
It swung heavily at them!
Partridge Whistle's eyelids twitched in surprise, and he instinctively pulled out his pistol and fired!
"Boom!"
Two bullets accurately hit the two golden-armored warrior ghosts!
But the two ghostly figures vanished without a trace in an instant!
It's as if it never appeared!
"What's going on?" Partridge Whistle asked, his face full of confusion.
The others also looked puzzled.
Li Xiaohu squinted at the two tomb doors at the end of the passage and pointed, saying, "It's probably because the paint on the tomb doors evaporated."
The others followed the gaze.
By the light of the torch rolling in front of the tomb entrance.
Sure enough, two painted figures of golden-armored warriors were seen on the two tomb doors.
Li Xiaohu then explained:
"Air has not flowed through this place for thousands of years. Now that we have brought air in, the paint has oxidized faster and begun to evaporate as a whole."
"Because the painted decorations are so well preserved, as they evaporate, they look like two ghostly figures drifting towards us in this dimly lit place."
"Phew~" Hua Ling breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and forced a smile, "Brother Little Tiger knows so much."
"I really thought it was a ghost!"
Li Xiaohu smiled noncommittally, indicating that Partridge Whistle could continue leading the way.
"it is good."
Partridge Whistle nodded in agreement.
But when he turned around, he habitually took his usual steps and stepped directly on the wrong tile!
Although he realized it immediately, it was too late!
"Qiang!"
The sound of blades slicing apart rang out almost simultaneously!
Li Xiaohu's eyes widened instantly. He shoved the person behind him hard and then grabbed the old foreigner in front of him!
Partridge Whistle was two body lengths away from him, out of reach!
Behind them, Hong Guniang, Yin Xinyue, and Hua Ling were pushed to the ground, looking completely bewildered!
The old foreigner realized something was wrong, but there was nothing he could do!
They could only watch helplessly as the blades bursting from the cracks in the walls and floor attacked Partridge Whistle!
Fortunately.
Partridge Whistle reacted immediately, and his skills were truly remarkable!
He leaped into the air the instant the blade struck!
His body twisted and turned in the air, narrowly dodging two crisscrossing blades!
Then he rolled forward and landed on the next safe tile!
They dodged the second spinning blade!
The next mechanism was activated after a long time.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts finally at ease!
They thought Partridge Whistle was in trouble!
Even Partridge Whistle himself could hear his own heavy heartbeat, and it took him a while to calm down.
"It's alright now." Partridge Whistle forced a smile and gestured for everyone to continue forward.
Li Xiaohu sighed helplessly, then led the way, guiding the others to step over the safe paving stones.
The cats behind him followed his footsteps very obediently.
Finally, we safely crossed the tomb passage and arrived at the tomb door at the end.
They only realized it when they got closer.
The tomb door was actually made of two whole pieces of Western Xia Liang jade!
Apart from the nine horizontal and seven vertical tomb door nails, there are no other patterns or carvings on the top.
Only two golden-armored warrior paintings remained, which had not yet completely evaporated.
A large bronze lock hangs on the jade tomb door, locked to an exquisite jade turntable.
Having learned from the example of the tomb gate,
Now no one dared to rush forward and touch the giant lock; instead, they carefully observed their surroundings.
They then discovered that the walls on both sides of the jade tomb entrance were covered with ancient Western Xia script.
Partridge Whistle happened to catch a glimpse of a few Buddhist symbols mixed in, and concluded that it was Buddhist scripture engraved on it.
Li Xiaohu glanced at it indifferently and said, "It should be engraved with the Tripitaka."
"It's basically a prayer that the tomb owner can ascend to heaven after death and be free from the disturbances of the Su Nuo spirits."
Besides.
