"The team in black is responsible for continuing to guard the perimeter. Old Han, Old Liu, and Zhang Yao, the four of us will go down to the pit together to check the situation." Sun Jianrong arranged.
Zhang Yao and Sun Jianrong entered the cave together.
The gray fog in the pit has been drained away, and the situation at the bottom of the pit was exposed to the eyes of the four people.
The man-made pit is eight meters in diameter and ten meters deep. At the bottom of the pit is a deep hole three meters in diameter.
The light falling from the top of the cave shone into the entrance at the bottom of the cave, forming a blurry beam of light. Before the fuzzy beam of light reached the depths of the cave bottom, it was gradually swallowed up by the darkness in the deep cave entrance.
"The three of us will go down first, Zhang Yao, you follow us." Sun Jianrong glanced at the deep cave entrance and then said to Zhang Yao.
Zhang Yao's current level of martial arts is not high, he is only a middle-level martial artist.
Sun Jianrong, Han Shuren, and Liu Pingtai are all second-grade warriors. With the three of them here, there is no need for Zhang Yao to take the lead.
Zhang Yao's awakened ability is very powerful and can improve the strength and realm of others. At critical moments, Zhang Yao's ability is definitely a trump card.
It is necessary to protect Zhang Yao's safety.
Neither Han Shuren nor Liu Pingtai had any objections to Sun Jianrong's arrangements.
In this operation, the only thing Zhang Yao had to do was to follow the three of them to ensure his own safety. When encountering a danger that the three of them could not resolve, Zhang Yao would use his awakening ability on them.
"Don't worry, Bureau Sun, Bureau Han, Bureau Liu, I will only do things within my capabilities." Zhang Yao pointed to the large basket on his back.
There were many torches placed in large baskets, and these torches were made from local materials by members of the black team.
Except for a little light at the entrance of the pit, the inside of the pit is almost completely dark. Although the warrior's vision is stronger than that of ordinary people, he cannot see at night.
Zhang Yao followed Sun Jianrong and the others and was responsible for placing torches to light up the safe area they had explored, and also to ensure a smooth escape route.
In addition, these torches also serve a purpose, to determine whether there is enough oxygen in the pit. Although warriors can hold their breath longer than ordinary people, it is impossible to truly stop breathing.
Sun Jianrong, Han Shuren, and Liu Pingtai all held a lit torch, and the three of them also carried many torches.
No one knows how big the area is under the pothole.
If the area in the pit is large, the torches carried by Zhang Yao alone may not be enough. They bring more torches to be prepared.
Four ropes hang down along the man-made pit and into the hole at the bottom of the pit.
After fixing the four ropes, Zhang Yao and the others went deep into the pit along the almost vertical pit ladder.
Soon, Zhang Yao and the others arrived at the bottom of the pit, and then entered the underground space through the deep hole.
After getting their feet on the ground, Zhang Yao looked up at the hole above. The ground they were standing on was more than three meters above the hole at the bottom of the pit.
The light coming from above the cave was not strong, and the inside of the cave was dark.
Sun Jianrong, Han Changshu, and Liu Pingtai formed a triangle position, with Zhang Yao standing in the middle of the three.
As soon as they entered the underground space, Sun Jianrong, Han Changshu, and Liu Pingtai were not idle. The three of them held torches and carefully checked the surrounding situation.
Everyone had just entered the underground space, and the torches carried by Sun Jianrong and the other two people had not been moved yet. At this time, there was no need for the torch in the basket on Zhang Yao's back.
Sun Jianrong and the others checked the surrounding situation while placing lit torches.
Soon, the dark underground space was lit up.
Standing next to the torch, everyone can see the situation within a radius of six to seven meters.
"The ground is paved with stone bricks. This underground space is not naturally formed."
There were a lot of fallen rocks and soil directly under the entrance of the pit, so no one noticed anything unusual in the underground space at first.
As the area directly below the pit entrance was illuminated, everyone could see the stone bricks under their feet.
Underground.
Floor paved with bricks.
Zhang Yao secretly guessed that this might be an underground tomb.
The people from the white-coated team of the Supernatural Bureau dug and transplanted the second-grade plant-type awakened beings. The roots of the second-grade plant-type awakened creatures were very deep. The people from the white-coated team of the Supernatural Bureau dug all the way down, and ended up digging to the top of the tomb. Due to the age, the building above the tomb has suffered
Unable to bear the heavy weight, landslides occurred.
"The stone bricks are very old. This may be an ancient tomb."
Sun Jianrong made a judgment, and then his face became very solemn as if he thought of something.
"Old Han, Old Liu, and Zhang Yao, please be careful. There is a high chance of supernatural awakening beings appearing in such a place." Sun Jianrong reminded.
This was Sun Jianrong's first encounter with an ancient tomb. Sun Jianrong had no way of judging whether there would be supernatural awakened creatures here.
Sun Jianrong learned about the awakening of creatures in ancient tombs and the supernatural system during a training organized by the Supernatural Bureau headquarters.
It is said that incidents of supernatural beings awakening in ancient tombs occurred in other provinces of China. The local supernatural bureau suffered heavy losses because of its inexperience.
It would be best if there were no supernatural awakening creatures in this underground tomb.
But it's unlikely.
There was obviously no one else around now, whereas before there were calls for help every ten minutes.
Ever since the smoke was pumped out, I haven't heard any calls for help for a long time.
This is inconsistent.
The only explanation is that the previous cry for help was related to the awakened beings in the tomb. Perhaps the awakened beings in the tomb deliberately lured people from the Supernatural Bureau into the tomb for rescue.
"Old Sun, what is a supernatural awakened creature?" Zhang Yao wanted to ask about the situation, but Han Shuren and Liu Pingtai asked first.
Sun Jianrong was silent for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and explained to Zhang Yao and the others: "There are many types of awakened creatures, such as plant and animal types. But awakened creatures are mainly divided into two categories, one is the natural awakened creature, and the other is the awakened creature.
It’s a supernatural awakening creature.”
"The plant-type and animal-type awakened creatures we usually talk about actually belong to the same category, and they are both natural-type awakened creatures."
"As for the awakened creatures of the supernatural system, a true explanation is very complicated and difficult to understand. To put it simply, you can understand it as a ghost in superstition."
"But modern science has proven that the theory of ghosts is actually wrong. It is actually an energy aggregate under the influence of spiritual power. The mysterious and unknown changes taking place in the entire world today have caused the energy under the influence of this spiritual power to
Aggregates can become awakened beings just like plants and animals."
"Generally, supernatural awakened creatures are good at mental attacks. You must be careful when facing supernatural awakened creatures, otherwise you won't know how you died."
Sun Jianrong did not hide anything and told Zhang Yao and the others everything he knew.
If there are really awakened supernatural beings in this underground tomb, it is necessary for everyone to know the power of awakened supernatural beings in advance. When they encounter them, everyone will be mentally prepared to avoid being caught off guard.
Han Shuren and Liu Pingtai were greatly surprised that there were actually awakened supernatural beings.
The Municipal Supernatural Bureau specializes in handling incidents involving awakened beings, and indeed knows much more about awakened beings than the Municipal Education Bureau and the Municipal Detective Bureau.
"Bureau Sun, are supernatural awakened creatures afraid of black donkey hooves and glutinous rice?" Zhang Yao asked.
Sun Jianrong was stunned for a moment, black donkey hooves and glutinous rice?
"Classmate Zhang Yao, you are a senior high school student. You must believe in science. You can watch movies, but you cannot be superstitious." Sun Jianrong taught Zhang Yao.
Zhang Yao nodded. It seemed that everything in the movie was indeed a lie. The supernatural awakened creatures were not afraid of black donkey hooves and glutinous rice.
Everyone continued to explore the underground space, and the area illuminated by torches gradually expanded.
Soon, the area below the bottom of the pit was completely explored by Zhang Yao and the others. It was a palace-type building, about the same size as a basketball court.
However, the underground palace is very empty. Except for two sarcophagi and some dead bones, there is nothing of value.
There is an archway at the edge of the underground palace, but I don't know where it leads.
"Judging from the blood stains and footprints, the person who fell before must have entered the arch."
"Lao Liu and I will take the lead, Zhang Yao will follow us two, Lao Han, you will be in charge of the rear." Sun Jianrong arranged.
A group of four people held torches and walked into the dark corridor inside the arch.
Along the way, Zhang Yao was responsible for placing torches, and the dark corridor was lit up section by section.
"stop!"
Sun Jianrong walked at the front and was the first to notice the abnormality.
"What's wrong? Old Sun." Liu Pingtai, who was following behind, asked.
Sun Jianrong stepped aside so that the few people behind could see what he saw.
In front of the corridor is a withered skeleton. Although the withered bones have been scattered and disintegrated, it can still be seen that it is a human-shaped withered skeleton.
"I don't know how long it has been dead. I'm afraid it was left behind by tomb robbers."
"Look carefully at the pelvis of the withered bones. There are many rusty arrows. I'm afraid there is a mechanism in this tunnel."
Some of the things in tomb robbery movies are true and some are false. For example, there are various mechanisms in the tomb, and this is true.
The various mechanisms in the tomb were set up by the owner of the tomb to deal with tomb robbers.
"Although the tomb is very old, there is no guarantee that the mechanism will still be able to function. Please be careful."
Everyone avoided the place where the dead bones lay and continued to move forward.
Click!
Not far away, there was a slight noise in the corridor.
The four people in the group were all on guard. The noise came too suddenly, and it was not caused by the four of them.
Click, click, click!
Many fist-sized holes suddenly appeared on the walls around the corridor. These holes were distributed on a long section of the stone wall of the corridor, covering all four people in the group.
Whoosh!
A dense sound emitted from the hole.
If ordinary people broke in, they would really be dead at this time.
However, Zhang Yao and his party of four, three second-grade warriors and one martial disciple, are not ordinary people.
Everyone dodged one after another, and when they couldn't avoid it, they used the torches in their hands to block the iron-tipped arrows.
When Liu Pingtai and Han Shuren dodged, they also blocked many iron-tipped arrows for Zhang Yao.
Zhang Yao stood still, wanting to test the defensive power of the stone, but in the end, Liu Pingtai and Han Shuren took care of all the iron-tipped arrows without him taking action.
"How could the arrow mechanism be triggered? Is there a sensor?"
"It should be that we accidentally touched the part that triggered the mechanism."
Everyone did not delve into how the mechanism was triggered and moved on.
