Chapter 1375
If there are other unknown dangers in the darkness.
There is nowhere to hide.
Between the flames and the black smoke.
The two can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Although they don't know what the situation is outside.
But at least they are safe now.
Wang Kaixuan looked at the jumping flames around.
"Can we leave safely now?"
Huo Jilin did not answer directly.
"Let's rest for a while." The flames gradually went out.
The light in the tomb became dim.
The red-haired zombie had been swallowed by the ruthless sea of fire.
It turned into a pile of charred and motionless wreckage.
The treasures cherished by the tomb owner were scattered around.
Even in the dimness, they could reflect a faint light.
A trace of greed flashed in Wang Kaixuan's eyes.
He stepped carefully over the rubble and wreckage.
He began to pick out those rare treasures that seemed to be worth a fortune.
He picked up a gold coin inlaid with gems.
He played with the finely crafted bronze in his hand again.
"Master Huo, shall we take all these things away?"
Wang Kaixuan couldn't help asking.
Huo Jilin glanced around calmly.
Then he reminded in a deep voice.
"Kaixuan, don't be too greedy. This business requires a sense of propriety. You must remember that you can't chew too much."
Wang Kaixuan immediately realized that he had lost his composure.
"Yes, yes, yes, Master Huo is right."
He put down the treasure in his hand.
He returned to his usual carefree look.
At this moment.
Huo Jilin noticed an exquisite white jade cup in the corner.
He walked over and picked up the cup.
Observed carefully in the dim light.
The white jade cup is engraved with cloud dragon patterns all over.
The exquisite craftsmanship is amazing.
"This cup..."
Huo Jilin suddenly fell silent.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything special?"
Wang Kaixuan came forward curiously.
Huo Jilin did not answer.
Instead, he fixed his eyes on the bottom of the white jade cup.
In the dim light.
He was surprised to find that there seemed to be a dragon shadow swimming at the bottom of the cup.
This phenomenon was unusual
--under normal circumstances, ancient craftsmanship would never be able to produce a moving pattern.
"Look."
Huo Jilin turned the white jade cup to Wang Kaixuan.
The two held their breath and stared at the mysterious dragon shadow.
The dragon shadow seemed to have life.
Slowly swimming at the bottom of the cup.
And with a deep luster.
"This... Is this the 'Dragon Swimming Cup' we are looking for?"
Wang Kaixuan said in a trembling voice.
Huo Jilin nodded and said, "Yes."
Wang Kaixuan knew that this Dragon Swimming Cup was what Huo Jilin was going to take to Chen Guangping.
He soon lost interest.
His eyes wandered over other treasures again.
His fingers lightly touched the antiques one by one.
Huo Jilin did not continue to pay attention to those treasures.
His thoughts had already flown far away.
"I wonder if Hu Bayi picked up anything good."
Huo Jilin muttered to himself.
Wang Kaixuan heard Huo Jilin mention Hu Bayi.
A smile appeared on his lips: "Mr. Huo wants to bring a gift to Old Hu?"
Huo Jilin nodded.
But there was some hesitation in his expression.
He knew that Hu Bayi did not value gold and silver treasures.
So he had to pick out an item with special significance.
While the two were talking.
Huo Jilin's eyes were attracted by a emerald green shadow in the corner of the tomb.
He walked closer to check.
He found that it was a jade horse with extremely fine carving.
The horse's body was smooth and elegant.
The muscle lines were portrayed vividly; the horse's eyes seemed to contain spirituality.
"This horse..."
Huo Jilin praised softly.
Wang Kaixuan was also attracted.
"Oh my god! This is really a rare item."
"It's decided."
Huo Jilin stroked the jade horse.
"Give this to Lao Hu."
Wang Kaixuan raised his eyebrows jokingly: "This is the treasure we worked so hard to find, and you just give it away so casually?"
Huo Jilin turned around.
He smiled and said: "Kaixuan, with our relationship with Lao Hu, do we still need to care about these things?"
Wang Kaixuan chuckled.
He was actually just teasing Huo Jilin.
Just joking with him.
But he didn't expect Huo Jilin to be so serious.
He was stunned for a moment.
Under Huo Jilin's serious gaze, he gradually understood what he meant.
The relationship between friends is much more important than these external things.
You can't joke about this relationship casually.
"Okay!"
He patted his chest.
"I know what you mean, I won't do it next time!"
The air in the tomb was heavy and humid.
Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan were ready to set off again after packing up..
"Okay, we have to find a way out quickly."
Huo Jilin said softly.
Wang Kaixuan nodded in agreement.
Both of them were injured.
They were carrying a seriously injured person.
They needed to leave this ominous place as soon as possible.
They supported each other and walked towards the main tomb.
The figurines knelt on both sides of the passage.
The dim light spread from the halo of the lamps in the figurines' hands.
The tomb was filled with a strange smell.
Every step seemed unusually heavy.
Huo Jilin carefully observed the surrounding environment.
He noticed a seemingly loose stone slab in a corner.
"Kaixuan, come and help me check here."
Huo Jilin called in a low voice.
Wang Kaixuan followed.
Under Huo Jilin's instructions, he carefully examined the stone slab.
"Something is wrong indeed."
Wang Kaixuan muttered.
"Look at this gap..."
The two worked together to push the stone slab.
Sure enough, a hidden mechanism was found.
With a slight collision sound.
A secret passage slowly appeared in front of them.
"God bless you!"
Wang Kaixuan was surprised and happy.
"Finally found the place."
Huo Jilin did not show too much emotional fluctuation.
But a flash of relief flashed in his eyes.
"Don't be too happy too early."
He reminded.
"We don't know where this passage will lead to yet."
The two supported the seriously injured man.
Entering the secret passage.
Moving forward in a claustrophobic environment.
Various patterns and symbols are engraved on the wall.
Perhaps it is some kind of information.
Huo Jilin interpreted these totems: "These patterns may be a way out."
Wang Kaixuan followed closely.
And tried to identify those complex and difficult to understand symbols.
"Can you understand it?"
he asked.
"I can only understand it roughly."
Huo Jilin replied.
"Each symbol represents a specific meaning..."
As Huo Jilin's voice fell.
They finally came to a slightly open place.
This seemed to be a small lounge.
Ancient murals could be vaguely seen on the walls.
Depicting the life scenes of ancient people.
"Let's stop here for a while."
Huo Jilin suggested.
He looked around vigilantly.
Wang Kaixuan nodded in agreement.
He put down the backpack on his back.
He took out the canned beef.
The man also slowly opened his eyes.
He groaned in pain.
"Are you awake?"
Huo Jilin turned around to check his injuries.
"Don't move, you are seriously injured."
Jiang Wen endured the pain.
He raised his head slightly: "I... I remember triggering a certain mechanism... and then I don't know anything."
Huo Jilin nodded.
