Before even entering the tomb's entrance, one of the men dressed as a Taoist priest looked around at the surrounding mountains in astonishment and cried out:
"This is the formation of Nine Dragons Arching for a Pearl, heavens, what kind of emperor used the dragon energy of nine dragon veins to feed his tomb!"
"Legend has it that nourished by the energy of nine dragons for a thousand years, even the deceased can be reborn! This is a place of great fortune, capable of bringing a hundred generations of peace and prosperity to descendants! But if we open his tomb, it is equivalent to destroying this terrain, and the energy of the nine dragons will dissipate, a sign of great misfortune!"
Following his words, a drone flew into the sky.
The viewers in the livestream room saw.
Around the mountain range where the tomb was located, there were nine mountain peaks of varying lengths.
Each mountain peak had a raised section.
The nine raised sections perfectly cradled the central mountain peak.
The central mountain peak stood steep and tall, appearing as if nine mountain peaks were worshipping it!
As soon as the Taoist priest finished speaking, a stir erupted in the livestream room.
"Nine Dragons Arching for a Pearl? A sign of great misfortune???"
"Although I don't understand, what that Taoist priest said made me feel uneasy!"
"So many people have died before, this tomb definitely has problems!"
"Suggest the archaeological team hesitate, it's so dangerous, don't go down yet!"
Everyone's faces turned ashen, and the more than twenty people who had previously made up their minds clearly paused.
At this moment, Zhou Lin strode forward:
"Uh, everyone, are you still going into the tomb? It'll get dark soon, and it would be bad if we miss dinner."
"By the way, don't blame me for not reminding you, it's even more dangerous inside the tomb at night."
With that, Zhou Lin took the lead towards the tomb entrance.
Those behind him collectively froze.
???
??
????
The Taoist priest looked bewildered. I just said it was so dangerous, why aren't you panicking and are so excited???
At this moment, the camera in the livestream room switched to this scene.
All the viewers in the livestream room burst into laughter.
"Holy crap, what did I just see, I'm seeing a genius today!"
"More than a genius, he's a comedian! Others are scared and serious when going into a tomb, but he's happy about it? If you didn't know, you'd think he was visiting his mother's house!"
"Isn't this guy the novelist from before??? Are novelists this hardcore now? I suddenly feel like being a novelist isn't as cool as it used to be!"
"Big shot Zhou Lin, big shot Zhou Lin, I must give big shot Zhou Lin a thumbs up, this is too awesome!"
"I can't, I'm laughing my lungs out, help..."
Soon, everyone arrived at the tomb entrance!
The tomb entrance was level with the ground, leading directly into a very long passage!
Along both sides of the passage, a large number of security personnel were guarding day and night.
Upon seeing Elder Tang, two of the responsible individuals saluted him vigorously and then allowed them to pass!
As soon as they entered the tomb.
Everyone felt a chill permeating the surroundings.
At the same time, a strong smell of blood stimulated everyone's nostrils.
The walls on both sides of the passage were bare.
After walking for more than twenty minutes.
The passage began to change.
The passage, which could previously accommodate four people walking side by side, now only allowed two.
At the same time, dozens of bronze statues appeared on both sides!
As soon as the archaeological team's lights shone on the statues.
Everyone gasped!
The statues were incredibly grotesque. Unlike normal statues, some had twisted heads as if they had been broken, some had bodies as if they had been cut in half at the waist, and some were even without limbs, leaving only a head and a body...
"These statues are a bit strange!"
A historian stepped forward with a solemn expression:
"I specifically studied ancient imperial tombs before coming here. I've also studied a few Qin Dynasty tombs, and none of them would have statues like these!"
"First of all, they have no meaning. Even if they are meant to scare people, which archaeologist is timid!"
The surrounding people looked surprised and stopped in their tracks. They also felt something was wrong but couldn't pinpoint it.
At this moment, Zhou Lin snapped his fingers:
"Bingo, Old Li, you have a good eye. Elder Tang, didn't about two-thirds of the previous three archaeological teams die here?"
As soon as he said this.
Almost simultaneously, everyone around subconsciously retreated several meters.
Compared to the eerie bronze statues here, the passage outside felt safer.
Elder Tang looked at Zhou Lin in surprise and said heavily:
"Young friend is right, about two-thirds of them died here, but the people who came in to inspect later found no problems..."
"We inspected these bronze statues, and everything was normal."
At this point, an elder who studied ancient statues stepped forward and said:
"We also found the appearance of these statues strange, but their overall form is complete, and there are no hidden mechanisms that could shoot out projectiles, so they couldn't have caused death. We peeled off some tissue from the statues, and after research, it was non-toxic!"
"We also checked the walls, there's no danger."
A master of mechanics among the crowd tapped the bronze statues a few times.
"These statues are made of bronze, the main body weighs about five hundred catties. I just tapped it, and the whole thing is intact, so there shouldn't be anything hidden inside!"
So many people died, and you're telling me there's nothing hidden inside???
Zhou Lin continued to speak:
"In a tomb, every structure must have a purpose. A great emperor wouldn't be so bored at the beginning!"
"By the way, have you smelled any strange odors!"
"Strange odor??"
Everyone sniffed the air around them.
They all shook their heads.
The historian frowned:
"I only smell the scent of blood, where is the smell you're talking about? You're a novelist, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
The mechanics master also said:
"Little brother, have you been in tombs before? Don't be so suspicious. I've already checked, there's absolutely no danger."
"Bah, not checking properly in a tomb can lead to death. If you're not afraid of dying, I am! I still have fifty million to spend!"
Fifty million???
Several question marks flashed in everyone's minds.
The people in the livestream room burst into laughter again after hearing Zhou Lin's words.
"Big shot Zhou Lin is too awesome, he's already thinking about how to spend the money after leaving the tomb before it even starts, I'm dying laughing!"
"Big shot Zhou Lin is excellent, with this way of thinking, he's better than everyone here!"
Elder Tang and the other archaeological team members were stunned for a moment before remembering the fifty million mentioned during the recruitment.
This caused the previously tense nerves to relax slightly.
Elder Tang chuckled: "Young friend, you really know how to joke."
The others also relaxed their expressions.
But the next moment.
Zhou Lin pointed to the bottom of the bronze statues. The bottom was previously in shadow, so when the light shone down, they thought it was feet and didn't pay much attention. But no one noticed a very small gap at the bottom, only about a finger's height, and it was at the heel.
"Don't you notice this gap!"
