Chapter 883: Entering the Thief’s Cave

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Lin Ran saw that the passage was funnel-shaped, and turned his attention to Liu Jingfeng.

Liu Jingfeng agreed, nodded and said: "This drilling style is exactly what the Northern School is good at."

"This hole was played too stingily. Are they all so small?" Wang Jinpeng muttered.

Lin Ran smiled and said: "Without determining the location of the main tomb chamber, any overly large hole may cause the tomb to collapse, so they are cautious and should be a professional team." Lin Ran only looked at the depressions left on both sides of the hole. It can be seen from the trench that they dug in different directions.

They did this because they could not determine the main location of the tomb.

The archaeological team will definitely not dig holes. If they had determined the location of the main tomb, they would have started digging with great fanfare.

There are many ancient tombs that are so large that it is necessary to find the front by robbing holes to find the main entrance.

Wang Jinpeng was already prepared. He held the flashlight in his mouth and prepared to explore down the Thief Cave.

At this moment, Zhao Lijie shouted: "I can see that what you are good at is not fighting upside down, but taking your own life."

Wang Jinpeng was stunned, this kid actually dared to ruin himself.

He took the flashlight in his hand and shook it in his eyes: "What are you doing? Want to tell a ghost story to scare Grandpa Jinpeng again?"

"Just kidding." Zhao Lijie took out another map from his backpack. This map was more crude. He handed the map to Lin Ran and said, "This is the map left by our archaeological team. Maybe you can refer to it."

He also knew that he had no reputation among this team.

It is better to give the map to the leader.

Lin Ran was overjoyed, he didn't expect such a good thing.

He immediately unfolded the map and looked at it carefully.

Wang Jinpeng did not hold Zhao Lijie accountable, and everyone gathered around Lin Ran.

Although not everyone can understand the map, the red letters on it are simply shocking.

"Mercury Cave, Hidden Arrow Path, Suspension Bridge, Spear Pit..."

I can only say that they are worthy of being an archaeological team, and they do their work seriously and meticulously.

This map is not big, but it is filled with dense danger markers.

"Are there so many agencies?" Wang Jinpeng's face turned pale instantly. Fortunately, he was not in a hurry to go down, because there was a mercury pit waiting for him under the robbery hole.

Zhao Lijie, whom he looked down upon, actually saved his life.

Guan Yun looked at the drawings and asked: "There are so many mechanisms in an ancient tomb? Is Qin Shi Huang buried in it?"

After all, he is an outsider, and the grave in his mind is just a small pit.

"This is only part of it..." Lin Ran said solemnly.

Because there are still three passages on the map with question marks drawn on them.

This also means that their archaeological work ends here. Whether they did not find the tomb door or did not dare to continue exploring, the mark on the map ends here.

"Have all these mechanisms been cracked?" Wang Jinpeng asked.

"I don't know." Zhao Lijie replied, "I just stole this map from the archaeological team. Some of the mechanisms marked on it may have failed, and some may still be there, so I said you died."

When Zhao Lijie found the opportunity, he still had to indulge in his mouth. After all, they had just frightened him like this.

He was also helpless. He was killed by the agency before he encountered any supernatural incident. Wouldn't it be unfair?

Wang Jinpeng said with a wry smile: "Which mechanism master is this work? It shouldn't be more difficult than the Tomb of the Queen of the Kingdom of Jin, right?"

"We are so unlucky that we have to make a difficult tomb every time." Liu Jingfeng also smiled and waited for Lin Ran to make arrangements.

Lin Ran was not in a hurry to go to the tomb, but let everyone look for the signs of the ancient tomb.

Tomb robbers would dig holes here, and they must have discovered something.

If the age of the ancient tomb could be determined, he would feel confident.

But after searching around, there were bushes all over the mountains and plains. Wang Jinpeng cursed angrily: "If we burn this place with fire, there will be no place to hide the tombstone."

Continuing the search naturally yielded no results, so Lin Ran called them to gather.

"It's going to be dangerous down there, Jinpeng, you cover me from behind, and I'll go to the front with you."

"Let me do it." Guan Yun took the lead and took away Wang Jinpeng's flashlight.

Lin Ran didn't care who was lighting the scene from behind, as long as he could cooperate with his actions.

But this move made Wang Jinpeng feel jealous.

"This kid actually stole my job." Wang Jinpeng put his hands on his hips and watched them enter the robbery cave.

Walking in the thief's cave, Lin Ran discovered that the excavation work of this thief's cave was extremely detailed and winding.

Tomb robbers who have no brains or advanced skills will dig their holes vertically downward.

The conservative one will use a diagonal downward approach.

This was the first time Lin Ran had seen this winding way of digging holes.

But he saw the map. The map marked that below the Thief Cave, there was a pit full of mercury. If you stepped on it, you would fall into it.

Suddenly he had a strange idea in his mind.

Could it be that when the tomb robbers dug the hole, they had already determined that there was a trap underneath?

This is too outrageous, but their robbery hole turned at a key position, obviously to avoid the mercury pit.

After passing the turning point, Lin Ran noticed that the original slope angle of the Thief's Cave was about [-] degrees.

But it gets steeper and steeper at the back. It seems that the tomb robbers are getting impatient with digging. The last few meters of the road are almost vertical.

"Guan Yun, step on the small pit next to you." Lin Ran said to Guan Yun behind him.

After all, it was his first time to go to the tomb, and he had never seen the holes dug by tomb robbers.

In order to move down, the tomb robbers would cut some grooves similar to horseshoe pits on the side of the wall to facilitate their foothold.

If it is shallow, some stones will be nailed into it.

There was none here. Fortunately, the terrain was narrow, so Lin Ran could hold the wall with both hands and slowly climb down.

He came to the cave, and Guan Yun kept lighting him above.

"Give me the flashlight and I will illuminate it for you," Lin Ran said.

But Guan Yun didn't throw the flashlight to him. Instead, he stepped on the dent quickly and landed lightly.

His movements were graceful and he didn't look like someone who was going to the grave for the first time.

"You are really a genius in reverse fighting." Lin Ran praised.

"It's not bad." Guan Yun took a flashlight and shined it everywhere and said, "It turns out this is the inside of the tomb. I really learned a lot."

"Guan Yun, be careful and don't wander around." Lin Ran also took out a small flashlight from his pocket. He checked the surrounding environment and found nothing unusual.

Directly below the Thief's Cave is a land that looks like a swamp, with a fishy smell coming from inside.

It looked like someone was buried here, buried in the mud.

That was the mercury pit marked on the map, and Lin Ran imagined the entire map in his mind.

If the thieves dug straight down, they would be dead.

In front of them was another robbery hole.
