Hu Min came over to take a look and said, “Five baht, it’s not worth anything.”

After Ma Yue came down, Zhuang Sen said loudly, “These are burial chambers. There is one on each side. If you want to go to the main tomb, you have to go through them.”

Ma Yue nodded and took a look at the coins in the jar on the ground. He estimated the value of this tomb and said, “There’s nothing valuable here. Let’s go to the main tomb first. We can come back to move the stuff here later.”

Fatty lit a torch and led the way.

After passing through the narrow and long tomb path, Yun Qin looked around at the dark and gloomy tomb chambers and felt a little uneasy.

She felt that she would encounter something very troublesome later.

Thinking about it, her hands unconsciously touched a sculpture of a human face on the wall.

Seeing this, Ma Yue quickly knocked away Yun Qin’s hand and said in a deep voice, “This tomb is full of traps. Don’t touch anything.”

Hearing his words, Fatty and the others turned around and teased, “Master Yun, don’t touch anything carelessly. If your bare hands touch some poisonous gas or insects, we’ll be in big trouble…Damn!”

Just as Fatty was speaking, a few arrows shot out from the wall. Fortunately, Zhuang Sen, who was by his side, quickly pulled him back. Otherwise, Fatty would have been pierced by the arrows by now.

Looking at the few iron arrows that shot deep into the wall, Fatty was still in shock. He said, “Look, this is what happens when you touch stuff. Speaking of which, even a burial chamber is equipment with a killing mechanism? Insane.”

However, after Fatty finished speaking, he realized that everyone stopped and stood beside him.

Looking up, he saw that the narrow tomb path widened to a three-meter-wide passageway. There were all kinds of patterns carved on the wall and countless arrow holes hidden in the patterns as if arrows would shoot out at any moment.

The ground was divided into squares that were one foot wide and similarly carved with patterns.

“Is there no other way to pass through? Let’s go around this place.”

Looking at the passageway that was probaly filled with countless traps, Ma Yue frowned and said.

Zhuang Sen shook his head and said, “This is the only path, and this burial chamber is in a convex shape.”

Seeing that there was no other way to go, Ma Yue frowned as he looked at this path that seemed to be filled with traps.

“Master Yun, can you use your skills and calculate how to get there?” Fatty suddenly asked.

Her ability only worked on people. It was simply wishful thinking to calculate such things. Yun Qin rolled her eyes and ignored him.

As if he knew that he was being unreasonable, Fatty laughed dryly and started to worry.

Luo Hui, who was standing in the back, had an unfathomable expression. He turned his head to look at Luo Ke beside him and touched her shoulder, but did not say anything.

They were trapped. Ma Yue threw a coin that he grabbed in the burial chamber into the passageway. As soon as the coin landed on a floor tile, a mechanism activated and, immediately, a few iron arrows shot out from the wall and pierced towards that floor tile.

Everyone present broke out in a cold sweat. Under such circumstances, no one was willing to take the lead and be a guinea pig.

“Why don’t we throw more coins? If we throw enough to expend all the arrows, we can pass,” Fatty suggested. Looking at him, he was eager to grab the coins in the burial chamber.

Zhuang Sen shook his head and stopped him. He said, “Usually, large tombs have multiple layers of insurance. Once we use up all the arrows, it might be poison gas coming out.”

When Fatty heard this, he felt as if he was doused with cold water. He became listless and did not speak anymore.

“Look, there is a pattern on the tile carvings.” Hu Min noticed something and called out.

When everyone got closer, they realized that there was something with the tiles.

There were only four types of carvings on the tiles. One was a person kneeling in submission, another was a lot of people gathering together to pray for rain. There was also one that depicted many animals lying on the ground, and the final one was two people fighting.

“This should be related to the murals on the wall,” Hu Min pointed at the same style of paintings on the wall and said.

“Are you so sure that there’s a way out? What if this passage leads to a dead-end full of traps?” Ma Yue retorted. He had a grudge with Hu Min to begin with, and now he was going to dismiss her idea without thinking.

“Not necessarily,” Zhuang Sen said. He carefully studied the sculptures and murals on the wall and explained, “When building the tomb, there must be a path for the construction workers to move. Only when the tomb was complete would it be completely sealed.”

But how were they going to find the path from so many years ago?

Just as the few of them were carefully studying the walls and floors to find a way out, Yun Qin suddenly said, “What if that path isn’t here?”

Everyone paused for a moment and then realized what she was saying.. If this path was specially set up to kill grave robbers, it was very likely that there was another secret passage for people to enter and exit.
