Chapter 322: Jack's Power
Chapter 322: Jack's Power
It was inconvenient to hold a flashlight, so Yuxiu prepared a pair of high-power headlamps for both of them. With such good things, Yuxiu asked the small system to open the transparent space wall and observe the situation outside.
Just as they guessed, the passage they had just been in was now crowded with many red-eyed rats of all sizes.
These mice were chirping and crawling around in the passage, as if they were looking for something.
Yuxiu stroked the flamethrower in her hand, looked at Qi Siyuan, nodded to each other, and took him out of the space.
As soon as the two of them went out, they huddled together tightly, with the flamethrowers in their hands turned to the maximum level, and instantly sprayed out two fire dragons.
For these big rats that have lived in the dark and humid underground all year round, facing such a scorching fire is nothing short of a disaster.
"Squeak squeak..."
"Squeak..."
The rats fled forward frantically, making a series of screams.
In just a few breaths, all the big rats had run away. The rest were burned by the flames and could not run, so they were all roasted to death, emitting a disgusting burnt smell.
"Let me go ahead and you follow me..."
Qi Siyuan was a grown man after all, so he wanted to walk in front of Yuxiu to protect her, but was grabbed by Yuxiu.
"No, let me go ahead. If we encounter any sudden danger, I can take you to escape quickly."
What Yuxiu said was the truth, and Qi Siyuan had no way to refute it, so he could only nod and agree. The two of them walked forward, one in front and the other behind, holding flamethrowers.
They encountered some scattered rats along the way, but the two of them didn't care at all. They just raised the flamethrower and sprayed them, burning them all to a crisp.
This passage was indeed very long. The two walked forward for about a cup of tea before they encountered a large stone chamber again.
However, there are no longer piles of gold ingots here, but just like the previous tomb chamber, there is a very tall coffin in the middle.
In addition to the coffin, various animal patterns are carved on the stone walls everywhere.
There are wolves looking up at the moon, there are docile deer eating leaves, and there are giant eagles soaring in the sky...
These patterns are carved very exquisitely and lifelike. In addition to these, there are several large stone pillars at the four corners of the stone chamber, on which there are traces of burning oil lamps.
In several corners, both of them found a large rat hole. It seemed that those things just now came out from here.
"look here……"
Qi Siyuan checked around and soon found a stone tablet in front of the coffin. Yuxiu also went over to take a look.
"Then according to what is said here, the bones in the tomb we found before are not Garutel at all, and the one in this one is it?"
That bastard is quite smart. He even found a substitute for himself.
He probably knew that he had done too many bad things and his grave would be dug up and whipped after his death, so he placed so many gold bars outside to deceive people.
But now that you've met us this time, we'll uncover all your secrets.
"We have sent people out to look for him many times over the years, and have dug up his remains several times, but we have never found him here."
Qi Siyuan gritted his teeth and checked all around the coffin. After disabling a few mechanisms, Yuxiu stood guard on the side while Qi Siyuan gently lifted the lid.
After going through so many hardships to get here, I thought it wouldn't be that simple in here. But after opening the lid, I found only a corpse besides many burial objects. It should be Garutel himself.
"No, look here. We have arrived at this place. There should be a secret door, but we have been searching for a long time and still can't find it."
Qi Siyuan took out the parchment he had seen before, shone the headlight on the pattern on it, pointed at it and spoke to Yuxiu.
Yuxiu also leaned over to take a look, and saw that it was clearly written on the parchment that there should be another route out of this tomb chamber.
"Is it the same as the one above, with the passage underneath this coffin?"
Yuxiu thought about it, reached out and patted the heavy coffin, wondering if she had enough strength to push it open.
"too heavy……"
Qi Siyuan also reached out and pushed, but there was no response at all.
"Based on the strength of the two of us, I estimate..."
He knew that Yuxiu was very strong. She had moved the heavy stone door in the cave with ease. But the situation was different this time. The coffin was made of stone, and there were several layers inside and outside, making it difficult to move.
At this moment, Yuxiu thought of the jack she had seen in her previous life. It could easily lift hundreds of tons of weight. Although the thing in front of her was bulky, it was actually not that big.
So she quickly exchanged for a jack, and under Qi Siyuan's astonished gaze, she quickly moved the coffin to the side.
But to their surprise, they were wrong this time.
Not to mention a tunnel, not even a rat hole was found below.
"It's made of stone down there, there's no secret door."
Qi Siyuan picked up a stone on the ground and knocked it a few times, and found that it was solid underneath.
"That means we were wrong. The exit is not here."
Yuxiu put the jack back into the space, then took out a larger mining lamp from the space, and started to check around the stone chamber.
In order to prevent any special situations from being handled in time, she called Qi Siyuan over. The two of them stood together, starting from the passage they had just entered, and slowly groped along the stone wall.
After such careful exploration, Qi Siyuan's efforts paid off and soon he felt a bulge, which was the eye of an eagle.
They were afraid that some hidden weapon would be released if they pressed that button, so the two of them discussed it. Yuxiu held Qi Siyuan's arm and kept them alert and prepared. As long as there was any movement, she would immediately bring the person into the space.
"Clap!"
As Qi Siyuan exerted force with his hands, there was a crisp sound and one of the four stone pillars suddenly sank downwards. After a sound of stones rubbing against each other, a dark hole appeared there.
The entrance of the cave was round and as thick as a water tank. The two men looked at the entrance and instead of being delighted to have found a secret door, they became even more wary.
Because from this cave entrance, they could not only hear the sound of the water being stirred, but also a familiar fishy smell coming from it.
