Then he spun around swiftly and appeared next to Luo Tianyi, holding her.

"Hold on tight to me!"

Su Xuan shouted loudly. By this time, the power of the sandstorm was growing stronger and stronger. Su Xuan knew that they seemed to be in the eye of the storm, so the suction was immense. He also knew that if he and Luo Tianyi were sucked up, they would be doomed. This kind of thing would at least carry them a hundred meters high, and then they’d fall from that height, without any protective measures, which would result in a tragic death.

At this moment, Su Xuan was holding onto Luo Tianyi, half-squatting, moving step by step toward the entrance. His body felt as if it was being pulled backward and upward by a strong force. He knew clearly that once his body left the ground, he would be out of control.

Luo Tianyi clung tightly to Su Xuan, looking at his determined face, and then kissed him, as she was afraid that she might not get another chance.

"Su Xuan, if there is a next life, I will definitely follow you!"

Luo Tianyi almost screamed hysterically, but Su Xuan didn’t hear what she said. He didn’t even realize he was kissed, because he had to focus all his attention on his feet. He had already exerted the Thousand Jin Fall technique to the extreme, but the suction was too strong, and with every move, he felt like he was about to be pulled up.

When Su Xuan stepped forward again, he suddenly felt his body lighten, and both he and Luo Tianyi flew backward.

"Damn it..."

Su Xuan cursed, thinking it was over. At that moment, a rope quickly flew out from the entrance. Su Xuan grabbed the rope with lightning speed, his hands sliding backwards by over ten centimeters.

"Ah..." Su Xuan yelled as the people below pulled with all their might, and finally, Su Xuan appeared at the entrance, then instantly fell, freeing themselves from the strong suction. Almost simultaneously, his and Luo Tianyi’s bodies fell straight down.

At the moment they hit the ground, Su Xuan felt he landed on something soft. It should be a protective barrier lifted by the people below to catch him.

"Big Brother Su... Big Brother Su..."

Luo Tianyi shouted loudly as she came to her senses, looking at Su Xuan. For that moment, she was really scared, scared that Su Xuan might just die like that.

But in fact, Su Xuan had only fainted. At this moment, the wind above howled like ghosts, producing one eerie sound after another. They now found themselves in a tunnel within a tomb, and everyone looked at Su Xuan lying on the ground. Several women already had tears in their eyes.

The feeling Su Xuan gave them was actually diverse. Although everyone knew that he saved them out of necessity, it always felt a bit strange. However, after experiencing this ordeal, they understood what a hero is.

If it weren’t for Su Xuan, all of them would be buried here today.

When Su Xuan woke up again, he humorously gave a thumbs-up.

"Brother Bu, I owe you a life again!"

Su Xuan naturally knew that it was Bu Daming who had thrown the rope at the most critical moment. Brother Meng, although he cared about his safety more than anyone, didn’t understand these things. Only someone like Bu Daming, who had become wise in the desert, knew it was the center of the sandstorm since Su Xuan hadn’t come down for so long.

"Hehe, brother, don’t joke with me; if it weren’t for you, we’d all be feeding the wolves by now!"

Bu Daming said gratefully.

"Big brother, have some water!"

Brother Meng handed the water to Su Xuan, who took a sip and slowly stood up, listening to the sandstorm outside. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"How long is this sandstorm going to last?"

"From a few hours to several days, as it’s the windy season, it’s hard to say."

Bu Daming explained.

"Looks like we’ll be here for a while. Hey, Bu Daming, do you think this is the underground palace? Should I help you find some Eternal Life Medicine and maybe a few Divine Strategy Army guys to keep us company?"

"Pfft..."

Luo Tianyi couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Ahem... My young friend, you really have a sense of humor... hehe."

"Since everyone’s safe, let’s see if we can find a main burial chamber to rest in. This tunnel feels so confining."

Su Xuan realized that now everyone was somewhat centered around him.

Very soon, they followed the tunnel to the entrance of a burial chamber. Su Xuan wasn’t knowledgeable about tombs, but the Firearms Camp lived up to their reputation as archaeological experts, being very professional. They quickly determined that this was a small feudal lord’s tomb.

After entering the chamber, Su Xuan looked at the tomb in awe, thinking that the ancient dead really knew how to enjoy life. The place was made quite luxuriously.

Once inside, Su Xuan suddenly curiously asked,

"I’ve seen on TV that there are supposed to be many hidden weapon traps in tombs. Why haven’t we encountered any?"

Su Xuan would occasionally watch those mysterious tomb-robbing shows out of boredom, but it seemed that the reality was quite different. He hadn’t encountered any hidden weapons or traps and felt more like he was on a sightseeing tour.

"Typically, the main burial chamber has many hidden weapon traps. But some traps lose their effectiveness with age. This tomb is at least two thousand years old, so many traps have long lost their function."

Huo Qiyin explained softly.

"So that’s how it is!"

Su Xuan nodded, realizing that reality and TV shows were quite different. He always thought those traps depicted on TV would be encountered in real life, but Huo Qiyin’s explanation made sense. After thousands of years, everything would likely break down and no longer be effective.

"But everyone should still be careful with sanitation; the ancients were very concerned about their tombs!"

Huo Qiyin continued his research with his students, while Su Xuan wasn’t interested in watching them. He thought the tomb owner must have been a pauper because there were no gold or silver treasures found. Su Xuan was hoping to pocket something but found nothing at all.

"Is there any more water?"

Su Xuan asked. With his earlier exertions outside, he felt quite dehydrated.

"Big brother, there’s water here; I’ll get some for you!"
