Chapter 617 Circular Tomb
Chen Ziyan knew that the stone slab was a coffin stone, but he did not expect that he would not recognize the words on it.
You must know that he is the person who inherited the Xiling inheritance. There are really only a handful of types of ancient characters that he cannot recognize in this world. He did not expect to encounter one here.
But for things like knowledge, if you don’t understand it, you don’t understand it. No matter how unwilling you are, there is nothing you can do about it.
After looking at the slate again and still having no clue, Chen Ziyan had no choice but to take out the rubbing paper and camera that he had prepared long ago and save the contents on the slate.
After all, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to take the slate away. In order to prevent accidental damage later, he planned to protect it first.
The guys were not surprised at all by Chen Ziyan's behavior. Although they did not move their hands, they were secretly memorizing the strange ancient characters on the stone slab.
They have been to many ancient tombs, and they know very well that although the artifacts inside the tombs are valuable, sometimes the information deliberately recorded by the tomb owners is also of great value.
The most typical example is the case of silk books during the Warring States Period that caused a lot of commotion. Although few people knew what was recorded on the silk books, everyone could guess that it must be an extremely valuable secret.
Seeing that no one said anything, Chen Ziyan guessed what these guys were thinking, but he didn't stop them.
Firstly, they didn't use tools and just relied on memory. He couldn't say anything without any evidence. Secondly, he didn't think the words these people wrote on the stone tablets were of any use.
Even he can't understand the words on it, and he can't even tell which era it is from. I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can translate it, so even if they write it down, it will be useless.
So Chen Ziyan didn't care about this matter at all. After he saved the words on the stone tablet, he was thinking about a question.
That is whether we should go down now!
Others don’t know, so does he know that there is a passage under the stone slab that can help them find the main tomb faster.
After all, due to the special mechanism of this underwater tomb, the position of the tomb chamber is constantly changing in a cycle. If they follow past experience, they probably have to find the rules of the tomb chamber cycle first.
But with this secret passage, you can skip this step and reach the main tomb directly in a roundabout way.
Boom——
But before Chen Ziyan could think about it, a very clear sound of an object falling suddenly came from the corridor behind them.
This not only interrupted Chen Ziyan's thoughts, but also brought others who were silently memorizing the contents of the slate back to their senses.
There is no way, this is in an ancient tomb, any movement cannot be ignored.
Almost instantly, everyone turned and looked towards the corridor.
However, after using a searchlight to shine, nothing unusual was found. As for the tomb chamber at the other end, only a small area of the stone gate could be seen, and not much could be seen.
"Mr. Chen, the noise may have come from the tomb where we entered. Could it be those sea monkeys chasing us in?" said a waiter.
Chen Ziyan didn't say a word. With his ears, he had already heard the specific distance of the sound, and even heard that it was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
So he didn't reply, but listened intently, trying to see if he could hear more details.
Seeing that Chen Ziyan remained silent, Dong Yanxia seemed to understand something and reached out to stop another guy who wanted to speak, signaling everyone to stay quiet.
Others are not stupid. After his reminder, they also realized that Chen Ziyan was collecting information in his own way.
After all, Xiling's Wenshan Dragon Defense Skill is famous in the industry, and they have all heard of it. No one noticed that while everyone was waiting silently, several people at the back of the crowd exchanged glances with each other, and then they all looked at Chen Ziyan with a strange look.
About a minute later, Chen Ziyan let out a breath and said to everyone: "There was no other movement, so it shouldn't be the Sea Monkey."
He was also worried that the Sea Monkey was chasing after him. After all, in the original In the plot, the only remaining sea monkey did this kind of thing.
However, after waiting for a while and still not hearing any footsteps, Chen Ziyan knew that the noise was not caused by the sea monkey.
If it is sea monkeys, then no matter how careful they are, they will inevitably make noises, at least the sound of water emerging one after another cannot be avoided.
But now except for the sound of a heavy object falling, there is no other sound, which means that this matter has nothing to do with the sea monkey.
"Let's go back and have a look."
Afterwards, Chen Ziyan took the lead in walking towards the corridor without waiting for anyone else to speak.
He didn't discuss this decision with anyone because he felt it was completely unnecessary, because no matter what the reason was, they had to go back to the previous tomb to take a look and make sure there were no hidden dangers before they could continue to do other things.
Otherwise, if something really appears in the tomb, doesn’t it mean that it can appear behind them at any time? This kind of hidden danger cannot be tolerated.
Others had no objections to this and followed Chen Ziyan decisively.
Not to mention that Chen Ziyan is the boss, he has the right to make the decision. Even this possible hidden danger, they also believe that they need to be eliminated first.
After all, if there is a real problem, what is at stake is their wealth and lives.
No one will take risks with their own lives, especially those of them who can be said to lick blood with the tip of a knife, they take this kind of thing even more seriously.
The interior of the corridor was still the same as when they walked through it before, and had not been replaced again. However, looking at the stone door in front of him, Chen Ziyan had a vague hunch that the tomb he was about to enter might not have been the one they entered. That's it.
After entering the stone gate, Chen Ziyan just took one look and knew that his hunch was correct. The appearance of the tomb had indeed changed.
Although there is still a pool in the center of the tomb, the structure of the tomb has undergone tremendous changes, from a square to a round.
Obviously, this place has been replaced by the agency.
After discovering this, Chen Ziyan understood what the sound they just heard was about. If he guessed correctly, it should be the sound coming from the mechanism.
At this time, other people also followed in. When they saw the changed tomb, they first took the weapons in their hands vigilantly, and then looked at Chen Ziyan in unison.
“Look at the top of your head.”
Chen Ziyan knew what they were thinking, but he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he motioned for them to look up.
Because, he suddenly made a new discovery.
Although everyone was a little puzzled, they still looked up, and then their attention was attracted by what Chen Ziyan discovered.
