Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1149 - 676: Professional-Level Tomb Raider (Part 2)
That feeling... is a bit subtle.
"Fifteen meters down, there’s still no sound of wind... the oxygen is a bit thin, it seems sealed down here."
Natasha used a Luminous Pearl to shine on the bottom, vaguely seeing a bit of the bottom...
Is it soil? Or mud?
After a pause, she added, "I should’ve brought waterproof shoe covers."
The main point is that this mud will dirty a certain prince’s feet.
Sui Yi and the other two ignored her.
As they descended further to the bottom of the well, the four of them felt something was wrong, a growing sensation of dizziness and nausea... their skills were not low!
"Miasma in the well."
"Hold your breath."
Suspended in mid-air, they couldn’t use masks, because none of them had anticipated a contraption like this set up in the well.
It was indeed strange, where did the miasma in the well come from?
Their ropes were still seven or eight meters from the bottom, and the four of them directly let go, dropping down...
Sui Yi landed lightly, and sure enough, beneath her feet was black, muddy sludge, accompanied by a rather unpleasant smell,
humid, fishy.
It wasn’t the smell of rot, but rather the odor of fish and decaying vegetation, making one feel nauseous...
Sui Yi wrinkled her nose, swept her gaze around, and indeed saw an entrance to a hidden passageway in the well.
She jumped to the edge of the entrance and shouted to the three who were about to land behind her, "Don’t step too deep, this is miasma mud, there’s a large amount of Corruption Pill mixed in at the bottom, daily decomposed, although it’s not extremely poisonous, it has the corrosive nature of the pills, if it seeps through your shoes into your skin, it’s not good..."
Upon hearing this, the three of them used their most skilled movement techniques to leap beside Sui Yi with a few flashes.
"Indeed there’s a hidden passage, though this well is so deep... no one would probably suspect it’s the entrance to Yang Gong’s Treasure, right... hmm? Someone’s been here before."
There were traces someone left on the ground, but they were very old.
Sui Yi and her companions entered the moderately narrow entrance and soon saw a few skeletons about three zhang away.
These skeletons were all piled in front of a stone gate.
Fu Junnuo stepped forward and tapped the dust-covered stone slab with her long sword, listening to the sound, and said, "Granite, at least an arm’s thickness."
Damn, that’s too thick.
Even four Minor Grandmaster Level experts together couldn’t break it.
"Couldn’t open, yet couldn’t escape, died here, seems they all succumbed to the miasma mud’s poison, as their feet bones are blackened."
Fu Junnuo was a chief constable, skilled in observation and deduction, working out the cause of death, and Natasha and the other two agreed deeply.
Next was searching for the mechanism.
Finding mechanisms is the job of a professional tomb robber.
The three of them looked at Sui Yi.
Sui Yi glanced at Natasha, walked straight to the left corner, squatted, and pressed one spot with her finger... surprisingly it was a thumb-sized small block, also covered with dust... click, her finger pressed into the mechanism, and the stone gate rumbled and slid open...
Fu Junnuo: Even this works?
Hell’s Wan Ge: God-tier tomb robber.
Natasha: Corner-gouging specialist.
Gouging... gouging... corners?
Looking at it, it really does have that kind of vibe.
Fu Junnuo turned away with a light laugh.
Hell’s Wan Ge smiled as well.
Sui Yi lowered her eyes, her expression somewhat silent...
—Why are imaginative ideas always so peculiar, are British people like this?
The stone gate opened, revealing a continuous underground passage, leading to who knows where...
As Sui Yi and the others proceeded along the secret path...
Yuema Bridge area.
Kou Zhong and Seo Ziling were blocked at the entrance.
It wasn’t the relentless Wanwan, or the Cihang Calming Studio’s Qin Chuan, nor anyone from any other faction.
But a rugged, wild man.
Tuoba Han.
"Ill-intentioned arrival, Tuoba Han." Kou Zhong was quite annoyed with this person; if he hadn’t meddled earlier, the situation wouldn’t have stalemated, and later Sui Yi wouldn’t have had to intervene to resolve the crisis, allowing him and Little Lingzi to escape long ago.
"Long time no see, Kou Zhong."
Their words were completely different, but both were ignited with fighting spirit.
"Ah Zhong." Seo Ziling remembered Sui Yi’s advice not to act rashly, reminding Kou Zhong, but Kou Zhong was brimming with confidence, "No worries, our injuries have mostly healed... anyway, I’m determined to knock this guy down today."
Tuoba Han sneered upon hearing this, "Central Plains people are used to boasting, especially you, kid."
"Whether it’s a boast, you’ll see." Without another word, Kou Zhong drew the Well Moon Heart, leaping out to clash with Tuoba Han. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Yet, Seo Ziling couldn’t help but follow...
The fight was indeed exhilarating, Seo Ziling watched with enjoyment, but as they fought, during a momentary pause, Kou Zhong and the others were about to continue...
"Quiet." Seo Ziling suddenly cautioned them, both being astute, sensed something strange, and followed Seo Ziling to leap away.
Kou Zhong knew that although Seo Ziling’s strength couldn’t match his, his sensory perception far exceeded normal, perhaps only by reaching extreme tranquility could one sense movement.
Therefore, with Seo Ziling’s warning, he knew something was amiss.
Tuoba Han wasn’t foolish either, seeing them act, he followed.
Shh, shh, shh, three shadows moved one after another, diving into the thicket, through which they could spy a distant two or three-meter secluded path with a number of black-clad figures darting like phantoms, swift as a hundred ghosts roaming at night...
To give such a feeling in broad daylight is a testament to their terror.
Demon Sect? Or some other faction?
The three dared not utter a breath.
After those figures passed, Seo Ziling and his companions suddenly noticed one among the group, a man in black, masked, not following but standing still, staring intently in their direction.
