Chapter 1378
"Yours?"
Wang Kaixuan frowned.
"Then why is it here?"
"Maybe I accidentally lost it when I passed by here."
Jiang Wen answered.
Huo Jilin didn't dwell on this question too much.
He smelled the scent of the sachet.
He asked thoughtfully about the contents of the sachet.
"Is it Baizhuan Powder?"
Huo Jilin looked at the sachet.
"I heard Chen Guangping mention it..."
"Baizhuan Powder?"
Wang Kaixuan interrupted curiously.
"What is that?"
Huo Jilin looked up at Wang Kaixuan: "It is said that it can drive away wild beasts..."
Jiang Wen poured out the Baizhuan Powder in the sachet and distributed it to them.
He said: "I always carry this thing when I go to the tomb, just in case."
Wang Kaixuan suddenly realized: "Then we have one more way to save our lives!"
The three of them smiled at each other.
They felt a little relieved in their hearts.
Huo Jilin asked Jiang Wen to carefully put away the remaining Baizhuansan in the sachet.
And signaled the two to continue moving forward.
There were vague patterns carved on the stone wall.
It looked particularly mysterious under the flickering light and shadow of the torch.
Suddenly.
There was a strange sound from the front.
The three people immediately became alert.
Huo Jilin signaled everyone to move closer to the wall to avoid it.
"Something is approaching."
Huo Jilin put his ear close to the cold and wet stone wall to listen to the movement.
Wang Kaixuan nervously clenched the simple weapon in his hand - a hard iron rod.
"What should I do?"
He tried to suppress the trembling in his tone.
"Don't rush to take action."
Huo Jilin answered calmly.
"Let's see clearly first."
The voice gradually became clearer.
But it didn't seem to be a bad person.
The three held their breath and waited.
Until a black shadow slowly appeared in the range of the torch light.
It was a mountain cat with smooth fur.
Vigilance was revealed in its sharp eyes.
After the mountain cat looked around.
It did not attack the three people and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"It seems that 'Bai Zhuan San' is indeed effective."
Huo Jilin raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"We can rest assured."
Jiang Wen breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, it's a good thing it didn't attack us, otherwise it would be troublesome."
"Let's go."
Huo Jilin took the lead.
Huo Jilin led Wang Kaixuan and Jiang Wen through the stone chamber.
Their footsteps echoed in the corridor.
The passage gradually became narrow and slippery.
Every step must be taken carefully.
Wang Kaixuan couldn't stand the loneliness.
He kept talking all the way.
I don't know when.
He talked about the Liu family.
The Liu family is a veteran family in their business.
Whether it is ability or reputation, it is one of the best.
Logically speaking, Chen Guangping should have asked the Liu family for help.
With such a big hand, there is no reason why he couldn't ask for help.
But the result was so fucked up.
The Liu family didn't agree.
Chen Guangping had no choice but to ask them for help.
It doesn't mean that they can't do it.
It's just that they really can't do it as well as the Liu family.
"Mr. Huo, what secret do you think the Liu family's thieves have hidden in their rejection of Chen Guangping?"
Wang Kaixuan couldn't help asking.
Trying to break the dull atmosphere.
Huo Jilin tilted his head slightly.
His eyes were deep: "The Liu family's thieves have a long history, and I'm afraid I don't know their secrets."
Jiang Wen followed closely.
Added: "I have heard that the Liu family has a legendary 'Netherworld Map', which is said to mark the locations of countless tombs."
"If such a map really exists..."
Huo Jilin pondered for a moment.
"That's a priceless treasure."
The three talked as they walked.
Unconsciously, they came to the fork in the passage.
The left passage was relatively bright and dry.
The right side was pitch black and unknown.
Huo Jilin stopped.
He examined the two paths.
"The left seems safer."
Wang Kaixuan said with a little worry.
But Huo Jilin did not make a decision immediately.
He closed his eyes and quietly felt the subtle fluctuations in the air.
"Although the right side looks a little darker... but I feel that the air there is smoother."
The three of them were people who often went to tombs.
They all knew that smooth air meant a way out.
So Huo Jilin's implication.
Wang Kaixuan and Jiang Wen both knew what it meant.
Jiang Wen nodded in agreement: "Then go to the right."
Wang Kaixuan gritted his teeth: "Okay! It's definitely right to follow Master Huo!"
But he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
The three decided to choose the passage on the right.
Huo Jilin took the lead in stepping into the darkness.Holding the dagger he carried with him tightly in his hand.
After walking for a while, he could only hear the sound of water dripping, which was particularly clear in the silence.
The moist air was mixed with a faint smell of soil and a vague medicinal fragrance.
Huo Jilin used a torch to illuminate the surroundings.
And signaled Wang Kaixuan and Jiang Wen to be alert.
"There seems to be a mechanism here..." Jiang Wen whispered.
And pointed to the crack on the wall that seemed to have been covered up by humans.
When Huo Jilin leaned over to check the crack.
His fingers gently stroked one of the seemingly loose stones.
"Be careful."
He reminded the other two.
Suddenly.
A sound of the mechanism being activated sounded.
Huo Jilin reacted very quickly and pulled Wang Kaixuan and Jiang Wen back a few steps.
I saw the originally flat wall slowly move away.
Revealing a hidden wall.
The wall was full of sharp long arrows.
Each long arrow has a blood groove engraved on the tip of the arrow.
You can imagine.
How painful it would be if this thing pierced a person.
Huo Jilin looked at the willow leaf logo on the side.
He said, "It is true."
He commented expressionlessly.
"The Liu family thieves are indeed well-deserved of their reputation."
Jiang Wen's face was solemn: "This method can be seen at a glance that someone from the Liu family has tampered with it."
"Damn! Was this done by someone from the Liu family? This is too damn insidious!"
Wang Kaixuan was shocked.
Huo Jilin's eyes, which had experienced countless storms, showed a chill.
"The Liu family thieves have always been known for their cruelty, and this little trick is nothing."
He said lightly.
The three of them stopped in front of the arrow array for a while.
Carefully observed the structure of the mechanism.
Huo Jilin discovered how to activate the mechanism.
And directed Wang Kaixuan and Jiang Wen to pass this place safely.
After passing through the arrow array.
They came to a darker passage.
The walls were full of mottled traces left by the years.
The air was filled with a suffocating dullness.
Huo Jilin held the dagger tightly.
Every step he took was extremely cautious.
At this moment.
Jiang Wen suddenly stumbled.
Almost fell.
Huo Jilin reached out to steady him.
"Are you okay?"
he asked.
Jiang Wen replied embarrassedly: "It's okay, I just tripped accidentally."
At this time.
Wang Kaixuan suddenly remembered something.
"By the way! Where is the intercom that Chen Guangping equipped us?"
He immediately took out the intercom to check.
"Damn, why is there no signal on this thing?"
Huo Jilin took the intercom and tried to adjust the frequency.
But found that the equipment was completely out of order.
"Chen Guangping..."
He muttered to himself.
"Did he have bad intentions from the beginning?"
"You mean... Chen Guangping did it on purpose? He didn't want us to go back alive?"
Wang Kaixuan looked grim.
Huo Jilin didn't answer.
Just kept moving forward.
After going deeper along the right passage.
The three found some bones scattered in the corner
-the identity of the owner can be seen through the weathered clothes.
Those are the remains of ancient craftsmen.
Broken tools, broken bones and scattered clothing fragments indicate that these craftsmen may have encountered danger.
And then died here.
"Look at this wound..."
Huo Jilin squatted down and observed carefully.
"It seems to be bitten off by sharp teeth."
