“Oh dear! It’s excruciating!” Luo Feng lamented.
The Swallowtail Hoe’s capacity for thwarting death and prolonging life was starting to feel burdensome.
He was forcibly pushed down by the Swallowtail Hoe.
Could it be gentler next time?
“Holy cow! Why does the host appear to be playing the victim when he falls?”
One observer remarked.
“Indeed! His fall seemed quite peculiar!”
“I can’t help but think that his Swallowtail Hoe is somewhat eccentric!”
Yet, in the next moment, Luo Feng, having fallen, understood that the situation was more complicated than he thought.
The initial volley of crossbow bolts was launched at a height of half a meter from the ground.
But the following ones skimmed the ground surface, fired at a range of heights from o to half a meter.
In essence, the attacker had already accounted for his fall.
“I see…”
Lifting the Swallowtail Hoe, Luo Feng leapt and astonishingly managed a half-meter vertical leap.
Without further hindrance, the Swallowtail Hoe once again propelled Luo Feng, avoiding the crossbow bolts launched from beneath him.
“Damn! Host, are you a professional basketball player?”
“Such impressive leaping ability?”
“So the host is still standing?”
“Boss Cao can’t compete with this!”
“Not even a novel would dare to depict this! The host must be Zhang Qiling from the novel! His strength is unmatched!”
Gu Santong shouted, “Luo Feng, are you alright?”
“I’m fine, stay put! I need to ascertain if the crossbow bolts have stopped firing!” Luo Feng replied, promptly beginning his investigation.
“But Little Luo, has your oxygen tank’s supply tube been pierced by a crossbow bolt?”
“Huh? Really?”
Only then did Luo Feng notice that his oxygen supply was noticeably
Indeed, the supply tube had been slightly punctured and was leaking. “We must retreat and replace the oxygen tank immediately!”
After all, the Yanwei Hoe’s protective capacity only extended to Luo Feng.
It did not prevent his equipment from sustaining damage.
On the return journey, with all traps now discovered, they quickly surfaced.
“Luo Feng, Master Gu, have you discovered the tomb chamber yet?” Su Meiji asked anxiously.
“We’re only halfway in!” Gu Santong, removing his gas mask, replied, “The tomb is filled with traps. Luo Feng’s oxygen tank was punctured, so we had to retreat. Miss Su, didn’t you watch the live broadcast?”
“I couldn’t bear to watch!” Su Meiji confessed, though proud, she had completely fallen for the extraordinary man during their repeated treasure hunting expeditions.
He possessed the attributes and potential to be her partner.
“Emmm!”
Luo Feng internally reveled in such a statement. Of the three girls, the one he desired the most was Su Meiji.
An intellectual beauty of her stature would be anyone’s dream.
But their relationship was presently limited to a night spent under the wilderness moon, her head resting on his shoulder.
At that time, Luo Feng had yearned to kiss her.
However, he found she had succumbed to exhaustion and was sleeping.
He gently carried her to her tent.
He did not take advantage of the situation.
Luo Feng wondered if her exhaustion was genuine, or if it was an intentional test for him?
Regardless, he refrained from any inappropriate actions.
“Mr. Luo, we have excavated the tomb passage you indicated.” A member of the archaeological team suddenly reported.
“Oh? Are there any steles?” Luo Feng queried.
“Yes, similar to what you excavated earlier.” The young man confirmed.
“Excellent, guide me there!”
Promptly led to the newly unearthed stele, Luo Feng discovered it was inscribed with curses.
“This appears to be another entrance to a tomb passage. First, figure out a way to shift the stele, then I will descend for a look!”
His main goal was to compare the newly discovered tomb passage with the previous one.
This could help Luo Feng identify which passage led directly to the main tomb chamber.
If there were insufficient reference data, he would have to meticulously follow one path to its conclusion.
He strongly felt that this was undoubtedly a grand tomb.
It was the largest tomb he had discovered since beginning his explorations. With such impressive traps and passages, the burial treasures were expected to be abundant.
Soon, the group settled down for food and rest. “Why is the host still resting? Even having Li Shishi massage his shoulders?”
“Why can’t he expedite the tomb raiding?”
“Are you scared of bolts from 1800 years ago?”
“Hahaha, there’s nothing to fear! Have you seen who our host is?”
“In my opinion, we’re lucky he’s our host. Even Bruce Lee might not have dodged those traps!”
“These tomb raiding videos have gone viral online, causing people to go berserk! Some even claim the host’s performance must be special effects!”
“Special effects? How so?”
“Firstly, they doubt whether our host’s reflexes could really be that swift. Secondly, they claim those traps are too advanced to have been designed by our ancestors!”
“How dare these uncultured foreigners undermine our ancestors?”
“Absolutely, let them learn about Zhuge Liang’s repeating crossbow, the Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse! The Mechanical Bird, and Wang Mang’s ruler!
Haha!”
Of course, it wasn’t just the foreigners who dismissed these traps as fictitious.
Even domestic scholars were dumbfounded by the trap designs that seemed straight out of a movie..
