Chapter 1367
They carefully closed the door of the old house.
Set out on the road to Prince Yu's tomb.
Surrounded by the dark night sky and the occasional sound of insects.
Added a bit of mystery.
Late at night.
At the agreed location.
The team has assembled.
Except for Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan.
The other team members also arrived as planned.
Facing the upcoming adventure.
Everyone is adjusting their emotions in their own way.
"I heard that three teams went in and never came out again."
A team member whispered.
Before the voice fell.
It caused a slight but nervous discussion.
Although everyone is an old man in this business.
But such news still makes people feel chilling.
Huo Jilin looked around.
"I don't need to tell you how big the risk is this time, just be careful."
Although they have an unspeakable ominous premonition in their hearts.
But thinking of the 1.5 million reward and the treasure hidden inside.
Everyone finally gritted their teeth and headed towards the tomb.
Everyone in the team kept alert tacitly.
Walking side by side on a path in the dark forest that could only accommodate one person.
Huo Jilin walked in the front.
He held a shiny dagger tightly in his hand
--it was a weapon that had helped him escape from crises countless times.
Wang Kaixuan followed closely behind.
At this moment, he relied more on Huo Jilin.
The team slowly entered the depths of the tomb.
Wang Kaixuan nervously stroked the compass in his pocket.
Silently reciting a few Feng Shui secret formulas he knew.
The corridor was narrow and low.
The humid air was mixed with the smell of rust from the soil.
Huo Jilin was one step ahead.
Every time he walked a certain distance, he would stop and use the dagger to detect whether there was a mechanism in front.
"These mechanisms are very ingeniously designed."
Huo Jilin whispered to his teammates behind him.
"We'd better be careful."
Just then.
They found two bodies lying not far ahead.
Those were the remains of the people who had disappeared before.
It looked like they were shot by hidden arrows in the tomb.
The death was extremely tragic.
They obviously walked into this trap without any preparation.
"It seems that the rumors are true." One of the teammates said in a deep voice.
And quickly checked the surrounding environment.
"This tomb is much more dangerous than we expected."
Wang Kaixuan swallowed.
Barely stabilized his shaking hands.
"We... Should we continue to move forward?"
Huo Jilin turned around.
His eyes were firm.
"Of course, but from now on, every step cannot be careless."
The team set off again.
Huo Jilin and his team met a fork in the road.
His eyes stayed at the fork in the road for a moment.
Every choice could be a matter of life and death.
Wang Kaixuan followed closely behind.
A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"Let's go to the left passage."
Huo Jilin whispered.
There was unquestionable firmness in his voice.
Wang Kaixuan nodded.
Although he was still a little nervous.
But his trust in Huo Jilin made him say nothing.
The two carefully moved along the left passage.
Their steps were light to avoid triggering the mechanism.
The passage seemed unusually quiet.
Only their breathing and footsteps echoed in the confined space.
Huo Jilin used a dagger to detect the ground from time to time.
Ensure the safety of the path.
Wang Kaixuan held the flashlight tightly.
The beam of light swayed on the tomb wall.
After a period of exploration.
They finally came to a mechanism area that seemed to have been triggered.
The loose stones and scattered arrows proved that this was already a triggered mechanism.
"It looks like we're on the right track."
Wang Kaixuan said with a sigh of relief.
But Huo Jilin didn't let down his guard.
"Don't be careless." He reminded.
"These mechanisms may have reset mechanisms."
The two carefully passed through this area.
Continue to move forward in the extended tomb passage.
However, the deeper they went.
The more oppressive the silence around them became.
Suddenly.
A faint breeze blew from the front.
With an indescribable breath.
"Pay attention." Huo Jilin nervously signaled Wang Kaixuan.
"There may be new mechanisms."
Wang Kaixuan swallowed nervously.
"What do you think..."
Huo Jilin's eyes became sharper.
He knew that in this kind of tomb.
Any rash action could lead to irreversible consequences.
He turned to Wang Kaixuan and said.
"We need to find the law of this mechanism."
"Law?"
Wang Kaixuan repeated doubtfully.
"That's right." Huo Jilin nodded.
"If it's as I expected, the mechanism here is very cleverly designed. Once we get caught, we will fall into an endless cycle."
Wang Kaixuan frowned.
But he still looked at Huo Jilin with trust.
"What's your plan?"
Huo Jilin pondered for a moment.
Then he proposed.
"We can use marks to verify. Every time we pass a place, we leave a mark. If we return to that place again..."
"That proves that we are indeed trapped in a cycle." Wang Kaixuan took over the conversation.
The two decided to move forward again.
They carefully marked the passage.
Time seemed to have lost its meaning in this claustrophobic space.
When they found that they had returned to a place that had been marked.
Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but feel a chill.
"How is this possible..."
Huo Jilin did not show much surprise.
"As I expected." He analyzed calmly.
"This mechanism is very sophisticated, allowing people to continue to wander on the same path."
"What should we do then?"
Wang Kaixuan asked anxiously.
Huo Jilin thought for a while.
"We need to break this cycle. From now on, we need to carefully observe everything around us and find out what makes it different."
Huo Jilin's eyes wandered around the tomb.
He seemed to be looking for something.
Wang Kaixuan followed closely.
Although he was uneasy in his heart.
But his trust in Huo Jilin made him follow without hesitation.
"Here... look here!" Huo Jilin suddenly stopped.
His voice was low.
He pointed to a slightly loose stone slab.
Wang Kaixuan immediately stepped forward.
He carefully observed the stone slab.
Sure enough.
Under the dim light.
They found a piece of residual fluorescent stick.
It seemed to be placed here intentionally.
It guided them to notice this abnormality.
The two looked at each other.
They pushed the stone slab together tacitly.
After some effort.
The stone slab slowly moved away.
A new passage was revealed.
"Well done!" Wang Kaixuan patted Huo Jilin's shoulder excitedly.
Huo Jilin just nodded slightly.
He did not show much joy for escaping the loop trap.
A new tomb passage opened in front of him.
It was different from the previous maze-like passage.
This was obviously a stone passage excavated by humans in the later period.
The two walked along the passage carefully.
And quickly reached the end of the passage.
In front of them was a heavy stone door.
Huo Jilin approached and observed for a moment and said.
"We need to find the opening mechanism."
