Xiao Bie walked ahead reluctantly, as a beast, it was its first time experiencing the harshness of the world.
If only it had stayed in the water with those snakes, instead of coming out.
"Boss, Xiao Bie is so brave, letting it go first, it's really going."
Fatty exclaimed from the side.
Xiao Bie: "I'm incredibly brave, okay!"
"Xiao Bie, this turtle, is very capable, so I believe in it."
"Besides, there are things inside that can help demons advance, which is why I called Xiao Bie."
Zhang Tian said earnestly.
The grand vision he painted made Hu Bayi unable to resist a chuckle.
Good heavens, if this were a pyramid scheme, he'd definitely be a leader.
Upon hearing Zhang Tian's words, Xiao Bie's confidence surged.
So it had misunderstood its master; its master was thinking of good things for it.
It was even willing to give it a demon core, and Xiao Bie felt happiness.
Then, it crawled forward even more diligently.
Fatty held his breath, his face red, he really wanted to laugh.
Xiao Bie swayed its bell, leading the way, while Zhang Tian left a mark in place, and warned not to touch the walls.
If those experts didn't listen to him, then Zhang Tian could do nothing.
This was all he could do.
This tomb passage seemed to be going downwards. The Forbidden Woman had been driven away by Hu Bayi, so there were no more illusions.
The group walked exceptionally smoothly.
"Boss, this tomb seems to be going downwards. Was the place we were just at above?"
Hu Bayi frowned slightly. He still couldn't figure out the structure of this tomb.
Hu Bayi really wanted to know who built this tomb; they were truly a genius.
"I suspect that there are actually several entrances to the underwater tomb. The place we were just at should have been a staircase."
Zhang Tian said after some thought.
When Zhang Tian mentioned stairs, Zhang Qilin's brow furrowed, and he suddenly thought of something.
"I've thought of some things."
"When I came before, the entrance wasn't the tomb chamber we were in earlier."
"That side chamber should have been a lift platform. You enter a different place each time."
"At that time, I seemed to be with an exploration team, and in the end, the entire team died."
Speaking of this, Zhang Tian also recalled something.
Back then, Wu Sansheng was actually impersonated by Xie Lianhuan.
And the body that was thrown out belonged to one of his subordinates. As for the real Wu Sansheng, he remained in the underwater tomb.
Later, they discovered the Gate of Life and Death, as well as the model of the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace, and so on.
Afterward, Wu Sansheng nearly died in the mechanism of the Gate of Death, so he left a blood letter.
This also indicated that the Gate of Death could be exited.
Zhang Tian was already curious and wanted to see the legendary Cloud Top Heavenly Palace.
However, Zhang Tian also valued his life. He knew that with his current strength, even with Brother Xiao, it would be difficult to pass.
It was better to develop stealthily for now.
Through the tomb passage, Zhang Tian and the others continued downwards.
And on the sea surface.
At this moment, the expert group, along with Wu Tianzhen and the others, had begun to descend into the sea.
They each put on their diving suits.
The expert group's diving suits were also simple, just ordinary diving wear, and they weren't as meticulous as Zhang Tian, who had an oxygen tank.
Soon, everyone began to descend.
"Everyone, when you go down, be sure not to separate. There are many underwater weeds."
Professor Chen shouted, and everyone nodded, then began to descend.
Wu Tianzhen was the first to enter the water, followed by Ah Ning and the others. Since it was daytime, they could still see a bit underwater.
The group descended, and it took about ten minutes for the dozen or so people to spot the shipwreck.
"What a large shipwreck tomb."
Fatty thought to himself, while Wu Tianzhen looked around, he felt a chill.
Following the direction of the shipwreck, the dozen or so people descended. With no Forbidden Woman interfering,
Wu Tianzhen moved as if he were going home, his speed quickened.
Soon, they entered the tomb passage, and everyone's heartbeats quickened a little.
The tomb passage was long and oppressive, dark all around.
Soon, the two groups entered the side chambers separately, but the difference was that they entered different places.
Wu Tianzhen entered another tomb chamber, while Professor Chen and the others entered the tomb chamber that Zhang Tian and his group had passed through.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
"Huh? Where did Wu Tianzhen and the others go?"
A young man noticed something was wrong.
He looked around but still couldn't see Wu Tianzhen and the others.
"This tomb chamber should have mechanisms. I saw them during my research, but I didn't expect this kind of mechanism to be here."
"Moreover, the design of this tomb chamber is absolutely no less than that of an imperial tomb."
Professor Chen, with his extensive knowledge, said directly.
Shirley Yang had returned from overseas and wasn't very deeply knowledgeable about tomb research. All she could do was offer suggestions.
"Look, there's a mark over there!"
A team member exclaimed. Everyone looked over and saw the mark left by Zhang Tian.
"Everyone, don't touch the walls. Be careful elsewhere too. We'll start our research now."
Professor Chen said.
He knew that tombs were full of mechanisms, and since Zhang Tian had left a mark, it must be for a reason.
The members of the expert group nodded and then began their research.
"Professor Chen, anything taken from here is a national treasure. And as for the porcelain here, breaking even one means one less."
"It's too precious."
A young man said excitedly.
Professor Chen also nodded.
"Previously, it was reported that Professor Li and others discovered two astonishing ancient tombs, and the exploration team even received funding."
"That event was detailed and published in newspapers, even including details of their descent into the tomb."
"If we send out the cultural relics here now, we will definitely receive praise and honor."
Professor Chen said, his old eyes filled with excitement.
The passions of everyone were ignited, and they all knelt on the ground to examine the porcelain.
Meanwhile, on Wu Tianzhen's side, upon seeing that the expert group was gone, Wu Tianzhen and the others became somewhat puzzled.
However, the tomb still needed to be explored.
So, the group began a simple exploration of the tomb.
Because Zhang Tian had not marked the mechanisms in the tomb, Fatty accidentally triggered one. Fortunately, Pan Zi reacted quickly, and they narrowly escaped.
For Wu Tianzhen's group, descending into the tomb was definitely a hellish difficulty.
On Zhang Tian's side, following Xiao Bie, they leisurely arrived at the tomb chamber.
Wang Canghai's tomb chamber was divided into several sections, with multiple levels.
Zhang Tian estimated that the tomb chamber he had arrived at was likely the lowest level.
Inside the tomb chamber, various ancient buildings and carvings met their eyes.
In the tomb chamber, there was also a staircase, and on the staircase, some statues were placed.
Zhang Tian also saw a few iron furnaces.
Here, Wang Canghai had been researching the secret of longevity.
This was also one of his secret bases.
Unfortunately, he never fully understood it in the end.
"Boss, this tomb chamber is very strange."
Hu Bayi looked at the ancient architecture and countless statues placed in the tomb chamber, frowning slightly.
"Everyone be careful. If the previous mechanisms have already been activated, then don't doubt whether the subsequent mechanisms have also been activated."
Zhang Tian said. Fatty tiptoed.
"Boss, look! There are so many jade artifacts and some explorer's clothes up there!"
Suddenly, Fatty said softly, pointing to the platform.
Indeed, on the platform, many corpses were laid out. Those corpses were shriveled, and corpse beetles were crawling on them. Xiao Bie licked its tongue at the sight.
These things were delicious and crunchy.
"There is a formation here."
Suddenly, Zhang Qilin spoke, his star-like eyes serious.
Zhang Tian and the others gasped. Zhang Tian's Qimen Dunjia had not yet reached the stage of formations.
Facing a formation now was indeed a bit troublesome.
"Boss, don't worry. With my assistance, we should be able to get through."
Hu Bayi held his compass and patted Zhang Tian's shoulder.
The two nodded with tacit understanding and then looked towards the stone carvings on the platform.
