"I think this is too dangerous. The best way is to find a reasonable method to detect which ship is the safest."
Yao, standing beside him, said, and Dai Xiaomei nodded in agreement.
"Awoo owo owo." (I think so too. It's too dangerous to stay here. What if we all get eaten by monsters?)
Dai Xiaomei also joined the argument. Although no one paid attention to her words because they couldn't understand her at all, she was still enthusiastic about participating, seeming to want to express her dissatisfaction with the decision through her language and emotions.
Jiang Fan was also quite helpless, looking at Dai Xiaomei, Yao, and Gun Gun.
"Don't you guys want to see who built this place? Someone who could create such a large pyramid, set up so many ingenious mechanisms, and raise so many powerful monsters."
"Its owner must be incredibly powerful. It could even be an ancient mighty being."
"What if it's something like the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor? It's not impossible."
Jiang Fan clearly wanted to stay. After all, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor appeared a considerable time after this pyramid.
However, everyone was very curious about the questions Jiang Fan raised. They also wanted to know who this powerful tomb owner was.
Finally, with a bit of curiosity on their part, and Jiang Fan's persistence, Yao and Dai Xiaomei could only compromise.
"Alright then. If we encounter any difficulties, we'll turn back immediately."
"What do you think, Jiang Fan?"
Yao, swayed by Jiang Fan's words, also wanted to see who the tomb belonged to.
Upon hearing Yao's words, Jiang Fan's eyes firmed as he extended his palm. They shook hands, and Jiang Fan said with a solemn expression,
"No problem. If we encounter any danger, no matter where it is, we'll turn back immediately."
Yao was also curious about what would happen next. The group then continued to search for clues leading to the next level.
As the saying goes, "An unintentional act can yield good results."
Just a few steps after having this thought, they discovered a mechanism.
Zhou Niannian rushed forward without hesitation, pulled the switch, and the large door in front of them slowly opened.
Jiang Fan and Yao exchanged a glance and nodded, then walked forward.
"If there's any danger, we'll run immediately."
Jiang Fan immediately agreed with Yao's suggestion, as it was also what he had in mind.
When Jiang Fan and his group passed through the door, they found themselves facing a swamp.
Based on his agreement with Yao to turn back at any sign of danger, Jiang Fan unhesitatingly started to retreat.
Unexpectedly, the door at that moment locked shut with a loud click.
Jiang Fan tapped the lock twice with his fire axe, only to find that his axe was completely unable to break it.
Yao looked towards Jiang Fan.
It was clear that escape was no longer an option; they could only face the danger.
Upon seeing this, Dai Xiaomei was on the verge of tears.
"Wuwuwu aah!" (I told you not to come in. Now look, we've encountered danger, and we can't escape.)
Even without understanding what Dai Xiaomei was saying, Jiang Fan could hear her grievances in her voice.
At this moment, Jiang Fan and Yao couldn't help but break out in a sweat, recalling their earlier confident pronouncements.
"Then there's nothing we can do. Let's go."
Zhou Niannian remained optimistic, as the danger wasn't directly in front of her. She slowly walked forward.
Jiang Fan pulled her back, as the situation was still unclear, and rushing forward could cost them their lives.
"Don't act rashly. Since we're in, we should be cautious."
"This is a swamp. If we get stuck, we won't be able to get out."
Hearing Jiang Fan's words, Zhou Niannian finally stopped. Jiang Fan, unhurriedly, looked at the surrounding trees and immediately thought of a solution.
Jiang Fan snapped off branches from the surrounding trees and laid them on the ground.
Yao immediately understood Jiang Fan's intention and, with his knife, helped Jiang Fan chop down more branches.
After a while, the surrounding trees were stripped bare, leaving only the fallen branches on the ground.
Jiang Fan laid all these branches over the swamp and stepped onto them.
The branches did not sink but instead formed a bridge.
"Alright, let's go now."
Jiang Fan clapped his hands and gestured for Zhou Niannian, Dai Xiaomei, and Gun Gun to follow him.
There were no issues at first. Jiang Fan led his companions across successfully. However, when Gun Gun stepped onto the branches, they began to sink.
Fortunately, Jiang Fan reacted quickly and threw his backpack over. Gun Gun grabbed onto the side pocket of the backpack.
With all his strength, Jiang Fan pulled Gun Gun to safety.
Gun Gun shivered and breathed a sigh of relief on the other side.
"Be careful. We don't know what might happen now. It's best for everyone to stay together."
After saying this, Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei, who had been observing the surrounding trees, immediately walked over to Jiang Fan.
The group walked for an unknown distance without being able to find their way out of the jungle.
"Did we take the wrong path? Why haven't we found an exit yet? Could we be lost?"
Zhou Niannian idly fiddled with a leaf in her hand and said indifferently.
Although Zhou Niannian was calm, her words made the other companions around her feel a bit panicked.
However, Jiang Fan shook his head, dismissing the idea. He looked at the strange sun in the sky.
"Probably not. The sun was in this direction just now, and we've only been walking for a few hours. The sun shouldn't have moved to our back by now."
Yao agreed with Jiang Fan after hearing this.
