When Professor Chen finally climbed to the top of the rope ladder, the descent into the tomb finally came to an end.
At this time, Shirley Yang had already climbed up the rope. Only Chen Ziyan was still standing on the ground. He knew that the most dangerous moment was coming, and he didn't care that Shirley Yang had not climbed far yet, so he quickly grabbed the rope and jumped up. When the fall of the tomb stopped, there would inevitably be a huge impact force fed back from the ground due to the inertia of the fall. He didn't want to suffer the backlash stupidly.
Boom!
And just a few seconds after Chen Ziyan's feet lifted off the ground, a loud noise came from below them.
Chen Ziyan and others looked down and saw that under the flashlight, the originally neat and thick floor tiles had been shattered, leaving only the sarcophagus in the center intact.
"Let's go! Go back first!"
Chen Ziyan looked back and urged.
Hearing his voice, other people who were startled by the noise and stopped, also knew that now was not the time to explore, so they quickly continued to climb up with all their strength.
Chen Ziyan was also ready to start climbing, but when he raised his head, he realized that it was better to wait before moving.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
It turns out that he just acted out of reason and jumped a little too high. In addition, Shirley Yang also stopped and looked down. As a result, the distance between the two of them is now hundreds of millions of points, and their positions are quite awkward.
He remained still for fear of accidentally touching something he shouldn't have touched, and it was even said that he continued to climb up.
Not only Chen Ziyan discovered this problem, but also Shirley Yang who came back to her senses. After she realized it, she quickly stiffened her legs, grabbed the rope and crawled quickly. After she was some distance away, she breathed a sigh of relief.
.
At that moment, she felt that Chen Ziyan's breath was extremely hot, as if it could penetrate through thick clothes and hit her muscles. This was a feeling she had never experienced before.
Soon, the rest of the people returned to the stone chamber floor. At this time, Chen Ziyan had time to ask: "What happened just now? Which one of you touched the mechanism?"
No wonder he thought so. Nothing happened when he and Shirley Yang were in the tomb, so why did the whole tomb fall when these people got inside?
This is obviously a situation that occurs when a certain mechanism is triggered.
"No one has touched the mechanism. We are only studying the clothing and accessories of the corpse in the ancient coffin. We have not even touched the funerary objects. How could the mechanism be triggered?" Professor Chen gasped.
He was just using the clothing of the corpse in the coffin to explain this knowledge to his students, and his students were all listening carefully, so he was very sure that no one touched it.
"What about you, Miss Yang?" After hearing what Professor Chen said, Chen Ziyan ignored the embarrassment just now and looked at Shirley Yang, whose cheeks were slightly red.
Just now, apart from Professor Chen and his group, Shirley Yang was the only one left in the tomb. Since it’s not Professor Chen and the others, then this American girl is the only one left!
Chen Ziyan couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this woman discovered something, so she activated this mechanism?
Facing everyone's doubtful glances, Shirley Yang calmed down her somewhat confused thoughts and shook her head: "I have just been taking pictures and recording the contents of the murals, and I have never touched anything in the tomb."
When Hu Ba heard that she hadn't touched anything, he couldn't help but said: "That's strange. If the coffin was opened, the tomb might have fallen before we arrived."
He was trying to exonerate Chen Ziyan.
After all, if the reason is not Professor Chen and the others, then the most likely reason is that the coffin was opened.
After all, there must be a reason for something like a mechanism to be triggered. It can't just fall into the tomb itself.
If that were the case, it wouldn’t have waited until today to drop it.
"It should have nothing to do with the opening of the coffin. Just like Comrade Xiao Hu said, if the opening of the coffin caused the tomb to fall, then the fall would have occurred during the time we came down, even when Comrade Xiao Chen and Shirley were inside.
It happened." Professor Chen nodded, agreeing with Hu Bayi's statement.
He has experienced many mechanisms in ancient tombs in the past. He knows that most of these mechanisms are real-time in order to maximize damage. He has never heard of delayed mechanisms in ancient tombs.
"It's useless to talk more. Look at the situation below. It's almost stable now. If we have any questions, we can look for it ourselves." Chen Ziyan took a flashlight and looked down and said.
"Master Chen, why don't we wait a little longer?" After hearing that he wanted to go on, Hu Bayi said quickly.
Although the experience just now was not dangerous, it was scary enough.
The falling feeling of not knowing when to stop makes his legs still a little weak.
What's more, even he is like this, let alone others.
Chen Ziyan glanced at the other people present and found that except for the few people they were talking to, they were still calm, while the remaining ones seemed to have lost their minds and knew that there was no way to go down for the time being.
"Then go back first, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow." After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan said.
Since we can't continue, we can only wait until tomorrow.
As for giving up, he has never thought about it. Not to mention that there are still dozens of gold, silver and jade articles in the sarcophagus that he has not taken out. Professor Chen alone would not be able to agree.
It is not easy for this group of scholars who are obsessed with the ancient culture of the Western Regions to encounter such an unexcavated ancient tomb from the Western Regions. They are reluctant to give up like this.
Naturally, no one had any objection to Chen Ziyan’s proposal.
And just when they were planning to temporarily call a truce and fight again tomorrow, Wang Kaixuan and Black Glasses, who were supposed to be guarding the wellhead, appeared on the other side of the ancient city ruins.
After tiptoeing his head out from behind a stone wall and taking a look, Wang Kaixuan turned around and asked about the black glasses beside him, and asked in a low voice: "I said glasses, who is here? Are you mistaken?"
Right?"
The reason why they came here is very simple, because Black Glasses told Wang Kaixuan that based on the whereabouts of the group of jackals, he deduced that there would be someone hiding here, and asked the fat man if he wanted to get a big one. p>
Wang Kaixuan didn't believe him at first. Although he had a good impression of this guy who was also greedy and humorous, he didn't forget his identity as a prisoner. How could he easily believe his words.
What's more, the tone of the black glasses and his frivolous expression make it feel like a joke.
But after Black Glasses broke down his thoughts and told him about them, Wang Kaixuan actually felt that this was a bit credible.
Especially after hearing from Black Glasses that these people might have powerful firearms in their hands, Wang Kaixuan couldn't sit still.
Firearms are very comfortable to use by yourself, but if they are in the hands of hostile forces, it is not a good thing.
So he hesitated again and again, and decided to trust the black glasses for once. Whether he could cause trouble or not was the second priority. Finding out whether someone was really lurking here was the more important thing!
