Chen Ze raised his flashlight and shined it into the cave. Chen Ze discovered that there was actually a long tunnel inside the cave. The tunnel was made up of many iron chains, and there was an oil lamp every three steps or so.
“Look at these chains and walls, they should be used to fix some heavy objects or cages.” Yao Xin observed carefully. After all, he studied archeology, so he naturally wanted to understand deeper content. , otherwise the archeology major would be in vain.
"Forget it, keep going. There must be some treasure here." Chen Ze took the lead and took the lead.
After walking more than ten meters in the dark cave, Chen Ze and Yao Xin encountered a fork in the road, and they had to take one passage each.
But Chen Ze and Yao Xin walked more than ten meters without encountering a fork in the road, which made Chen Ze wonder if they were going in the wrong direction.
However, Chen Ze did not back down and continued to move forward.
While walking in the passage, Chen Ze and Yao Xin heard the sound of water dripping on the bluestone slab, and there was also the sound of running water.
“Boss, there is a river here!” Yao Xin shouted excitedly to Chen Ze.
Hearing this, Chen Ze quickly took out his mobile phone and saw the signal on the mobile phone screen with the help of weak light.
At this moment Chen Ze felt hope.
Chen Ze and Yao Xin moved forward faster, and soon came to the end of the passage. This was a pool. The pool was small, but there was a lot of water, and it was steaming.
There was another skeleton beside the pool. Chen Ze got closer and saw the true identity of the skeleton. The skeleton was translucent. Chen Ze recognized it as bone marrow!
Chen Ze did not Anxious to go down and search for the bone marrow, he turned around and walked towards the passage behind him. This hole was very long and he didn't know where it led.
However, Chen Ze believes that since Li Taibai is buried here, he must have left clues. What Chen Ze has to do is to follow these clues to find the truth.
Chen Ze walked several hundred meters along the passage and finally stopped in a deserted area.
This is a ruins, with houses collapsed and dilapidated, and not even a trace of life can be seen. Chen Ze has never seen such a dilapidated scene.
This place seems to be a dead city, with nothing left except abandoned.
Chen Ze knelt down and picked up a wooden box scattered in the ruins. The wooden box was already in a state of decay.
Chen Ze opened the wooden box and found a jade pendant inside.
"Strange, why are there no words?" Chen Ze picked up the jade pendant and looked at it in confusion. The jade pendant was yellow-green.
Chen Ze looked over and over for a long time, but found nothing special.
“This jade pendant is quite valuable!” Yao Xin saw Chen Ze holding a jade pendant and guessed that the jade pendant was worth a lot of money.
“It’s worthless.” Chen Ze replied lightly. Chen Ze didn’t pick up this jade pendant because it was valuable, but because Li Taibai gave it to a certain woman. wedding gift.
Although Li Shiqing didn't accept it, Chen Ze's memory was so good that he was deeply impressed.
"Uh..." Yao Xin scratched her head in embarrassment.
Yao Xin wanted to say: "Why pick it up if it's not valuable?"
But she held back the words as she spoke.
"Second brother, try to see if you can start the system." Chen Ze said to Yao Xin.
Chen Ze felt that it was useless for him and Yao Xin to fumble around in this cave. It was better to use the advantages of the system to test and see if there were any hidden weapons.
Yao Xin tried to control the system according to the method taught by Chen Ze. Sure enough, Chen Ze discovered an abnormality, and a "ding——" reminder sound came from Chen Ze's mind.
"This is..."
Chen Ze was a little confused, because a virtual system page suddenly appeared in Chen Ze's mind. The page displayed the structural diagram of the cave and the design of some mechanisms.
"Is there a bug in the system?"
"System prompt: The host has obtained Li Taibai's handwritten portrait. The system will analyze the portrait and finally determine the location of the cave."
Chen Ze: "..."
The system prompt made Chen Ze fall into deep thought, and Chen Ze thought of the mystery of Li Taibai's stolen coffin.
“So, was he killed here?”
Chen Ze muttered to himself, but quickly rejected the idea, because Chen Ze said in the system prompt just now It was discovered that the design of this cave was very complex. An ordinary tomb robber would never be able to enter the cave, and even if he entered, he would be disoriented. "Boss, what's wrong with you?" Yao Xin asked when she saw Chen Ze mumbling to himself.
"It's okay, let's go. Let's follow this passage to find this tomb and see if there are any treasures in it." Chen Ze said to Yao Xin.
"Okay~"
Yao Xin ran ahead, afraid that Chen Ze would throw him away.
Chen Ze was walking slowly and leisurely behind.
After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Ze and Yao Xin came to a heavy stone door. Chen Ze gently pushed the stone door, but it didn't move at all.
Yao Xin helped from the side, and with great effort, the stone door finally opened slowly.
Chen Ze: "Hoo~"
There was a strong smell of dust in the opened stone door, which made Chen Ze cough.
Yao Xin: "Boss, are you okay!"
"I'm okay!" Chen Ze waved his hand, "See if there is anything inside."
"Okay!"
Yao Xin turned on the flashlight and shined it.
"Ah! Boss, get out of the way! There is a snake!" The moment Yao Xin illuminated the entire stone chamber, a giant python sprang out from the depths of the stone chamber.
Chen Ze and Yao Xin were so frightened that they ran away.
“Oh my god, such a thick snake!!!” Yao Xin couldn’t help but complain.
“Boss, what should we do?” Yao Xin looked a little timid looking at the giant python.
"What else can I do? Just do it!" Chen Ze clenched his fists. Although his physical fitness has become stronger now, he still can't withstand the attack of this level of beast.
Yao San also reacted. He had forgotten that Chen Ze was now mortal and could not defeat this giant python.
Yao Xin crawled and hid in a corner, then raised her hands in a gesture of surrender: "Don't bite me! I won't resist."
"Hiss! "The giant python seemed to be able to understand Yao Xin's words and actually stopped swimming.
Chen Ze: "..."
"Roar!"
But at this moment, another giant python also rushed in.
"What the hell is this?" Chen Ze cursed, are there two snake spirits in this cave?
"Boss, run away!" Yao Xin exclaimed.
"Stop yelling! You retreat first, I'll cover you!" After saying this, Chen Ze jumped out, preparing to attract the python's attention.
When the giant python saw Chen Ze as its prey, it immediately chased him.
When Chen Ze saw this, he ran away.
“Swell!”
At the moment when the giant python caught up with Chen Ze, the pistol in Chen Ze’s hand rang.
"Crack!" The magazine of Chen Ze's pistol was empty, and the giant python was injured, and its huge body suddenly fell to the ground.
"Pfft!"
Chen Ze took this opportunity to make a last-ditch stab and pierced the python's abdomen.
The giant python struggled twice and then stopped moving.
Chen Ze panted and ran to Yao Xin, who was sitting on the ground panting. (End of this chapter)
