"Hmm? Is it not as simple as you say? These spaces are dead ends, where could there be an exit?"
The historian was speechless upon hearing this, where did such confidence come from?
But thinking about Zhou Lin's previous performance, there was no need to think further. He clearly had this confidence, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to trick Ancestral Dragon to death.
"Did you find any skeletons along the way?"
"I mean, not the skeletons of slaves and Qin soldiers."
Zhou Lin suddenly straightened his expression and looked at them, his tone undeniably serious.
"Hmm?"
The Taoist and the Wolf King recalled carefully. Indeed, there were none. They had seen many terracotta warriors, and those were slaves.
"You mean, there's another exit in here?"
The Wolf King was the first to understand.
But where could this exit be? They couldn't see it at all.
"A large number of craftsmen were needed to build this tomb. During the Qin Dynasty, any craftsman who knew about the tomb and its internal structure would be buried with it, to prevent future tomb raiding or disturbance of peace."
"But along the way, have you seen the bodies of any craftsmen? Or were they taken out and killed? But the craftsmen inside would not be. So, when these craftsmen knew they were going to be killed, they would prepare a way out for themselves."
Zhou Lin's words made them all understand instantly.
So there was indeed an exit in here. If that was the case, it made sense.
"Do you know this exit?"
The biologist looked at him with anticipation.
"I don't know, so we have to look for it. Anyway, the archaeological team will be studying these palaces for a while, so we can search slowly, and don't miss any corner."
Zhou Lin shrugged indifferently. This matter was truly hard to say. Even if he knew, he couldn't find it immediately, otherwise, it would be even harder to explain.
The Taoist and the gymnastics champion heard this and hurried to search for an exit.
They would be millionaires as soon as they got out, fifty million each, what a concept!
In the livestream.
"Holy crap, as expected of the big shot, not only is he brave, but his brain is also very sharp."
"Isn't that so? I thought collecting junk was the best profession, but actually, brains are the best thing."
"But speaking of which, this palace is so big, how do we find it? Won't it be very difficult to find?"
"Aren't there the big shot and the Taoist? They can calculate it, and get a general direction. The big shot is so powerful, he wouldn't know nothing about finding an exit, right?"
"Holy crap, you've woken me up from my dream."
...
In the dean's conference room.
The dean, along with the other professors and experts, were very satisfied seeing the situation. Looking at Zhou Lin's face, they all felt he was excellent, at least able to think of so many things in this environment.
His thinking was sufficiently rational.
"Well done, this is too cool. It's a shame for this brain not to be in the archaeological team. Dean, you must keep Zhou Lin here, it will be more convenient for communication."
The metaphysics professor looked at Zhou Lin's face with increasing satisfaction.
"You want to satisfy your personal desires."
Professor Wen smiled lightly at the metaphysics professor, but he was also looking forward to it. Zhou Lin's historical and cultural knowledge was very high, and he might know many historical issues.
"Yes, I have selfish motives. What about you? Don't play the high and mighty game with me, dare you say you don't have any selfish motives?"
The metaphysics professor said frankly and then looked at everyone present.
Upon hearing this, the crowd nodded calmly.
"Yes, of course, we hope he comes. This will be of great help to archaeology."
The other professors and experts said in unison.
The dean's mouth twitched upon hearing this. He was very speechless, these people were truly interesting.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard his phone ring.
Looking at the number on the screen, the dean's eyes darkened.
At this moment, in the tomb.
Zhou Lin had read many tomb-raiding books in his previous life, and he had read quite a bit about Qin Shi Huang's tomb. It seemed there was a problem with the dragon throne.
With this thought, he walked towards Ancestral Dragon's chair. Looking at the dragon throne, Zhou Lin examined it carefully. Beneath the chair, there was a groove.
It was circular in shape.
Zhou Lin stroked his chin, lost in thought.
"Brother Zhou Lin, what are you thinking about?"
The Wolf King happened to walk to the stone wall and saw Zhou Lin standing at the dragon throne, looking troubled.
He couldn't help but be curious.
"I think I've found the exit. Look."
Zhou Lin pointed to the position at his feet, then looked at the two dragon pearls carved on the chair. He then took one of the dragon pearls and placed it in the groove.
The groove was then filled, and the dragon throne slowly descended, revealing a hidden passage from within.
The Wolf King's eyes lit up, and he was instantly overjoyed.
"Found it."
His voice was filled with a little excitement.
The other participants who were searching for an exit heard this and hurried over, their eyes full of anticipation. As long as they could get out, the money would be theirs.
How could they not be excited?
"Mr. Zhou Lin, you are still the厲害 one."
The gymnastics champion looked at him with anticipation after seeing this.
"It was just a coincidence of observation. I guess I'm quite observant."
Zhou Lin did not take credit for himself and said softly.
"We are no match for you in here, but when we get out, if there's anything I can help you with, just say the word."
The construction champion said quickly upon hearing this.
Zhou Lin was their savior.
"That's right, and me too."
"And me, let's go for a drink when we get out!"
The other participants also spoke up quickly, afraid that if they spoke too slowly, they would miss this opportunity to get to know him.
Zhou Lin just smiled faintly and said nothing more.
In the livestream.
"The big shot is indeed observant. He found the exit so quickly."
"Haha, I think the big shot knew it all along, haha."
"Yes, yes, I think so too."
...
It was half an hour later when Elder Tang and Professor Lin had finished checking everything.
Upon learning that Zhou Lin had found the exit, they were instantly overjoyed.
They followed Zhou Lin through the passage to leave.
When they emerged, they were on top of the cliff. The ancient wild creature scientist saw Zhou Lin and the archaeological team coming out from behind him and was surprised.
"Elder Tang, how did you come out from in there?"
"This matter is very complicated. I'll tell you when I have time."
Elder Tang had gone through so much that he didn't know how to explain it. He would tell them after he had sorted it out.
