Chapter 1361

Several members of the second archaeological team could not help but be defeated by the naivety of this Lao San.

Yang Lu checked, but did not discover any other strange circumstances.

Immediately, just as she was about to instruct everyone to rest here for the night, she heard a very discordant sound.

While everyone was looking at that *Tui Bei Tu*, only that Lao Ba was moving his eyes back and forth on the sculpture opposite; the sculpture was holding a pen in its hand, and this Lao Ba ultimately could not hold back.

With a *crack* sound, he said along with the noise: "This thing can be taken down!"

Yang Lu turned her head abruptly, and the next moment, the hundred-claw hook appeared in her right hand.

She almost couldn't resist throwing the hundred-claw hook directly to pierce Lao Ba's throat!

In a tomb chamber, if you touch anything that can be taken down easily, the result is not necessarily certain; of course, such results are polarized.

It is possible that it will guide your path forward, or it is possible that it will cause you to fall into an abyss of no return; between these two situations, the latter occurs most often.

Yang Lu narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at this Lao Ba!

Ma Dadan did not feel anything, and before everyone could speak, just as Wang Kaixuan wanted to rush over, a stone door opposite the Underworld Hall opened.

The door they saw when they entered was closed, and Yang Lu knew that this must contain certain mechanisms.

Only through the mechanisms could they walk out, but Yang Lu subconsciously felt that this Underworld Hall itself was very likely a trap.

Because if some things are hidden too deeply, they will instead arouse people's suspicion; this is the result Yang Lu obtained from a reverse perspective.

Therefore, she did not obsess over the tomb chamber itself, nor did she think about trying to crack the corresponding mechanisms herself.

She could rely on her own thoughts to think about problems, but if this problem seemed completely opaque to her, she would absolutely not try to be a hero.

That would not only be joking with her own life, but also joking with the safety of the entire second archaeological team.

Too many people had already died in the Ancient City of Jingjue, and Yang Lu did not want to see them lose more personnel.

Even with everyone under the state of carrying a curse, Yang Lu still wanted to let everyone finish the path ahead.

She and everyone believed that as long as they followed Zhang Lin's guidance, they could find a way to lift the curse.

But now did not seem to be the time to consider these things; Wang Kaixuan was stunned when he saw the stone door open, but then he did not stop himself from rushing over directly, and without hesitation, he gave Lao Ba a round of kicks.

Lao Ba covered his head and rolled on the ground, shouting while in pain: "I was wrong! I was wrong! Stop hitting me!"

Although he did not understand where he was wrong—clearly he had opened that door after taking down the pen—in this situation, he had received a severe beating.

Yang Lu was not in a hurry to enter that tomb chamber, but Ma Dadan's group did not care about Lao Ba.

Lao San rushed in first, because from the faint light passing through, they had already seen the coffin in the tomb chamber.

Since they saw the coffin, the tomb raiders' most primitive instincts were stirred up; tomb raiding itself is about finding coffins.

In the shallow knowledge of such people, they only believed that burial objects were in the coffin; fortunately, they did not enter the Ancient City of Jingjue.

Even if they could pass through that kind of honeycomb-like imaginary space, I am afraid they would never find the corresponding coffin in this lifetime; however, a person's ability and perspective determine their height.

This group of people were indeed mud-legged, and what Wang Kaixuan said at the beginning was absolutely correct!

Precisely because they were mud-legged, they were relatively more honest now; anyone with some ability might not have become quiet because of this control.

At least this Ma Dadan was not stupid to that extent; he knew how much ability he had.

Therefore, he would only do what his ability allowed.

Ma Dadan had been telling himself this in his heart; others did not understand why Lao Ba was beaten or what he was scolded for, but he was very clear.

He immediately went up and added a few kicks, saying: "I'm telling you! Don't move around! Don't move around! Didn't you hear me clearly?!"

Perhaps because the previous spiders brought a corresponding warning, or perhaps among these many situations, Ma Dadan had already broken his defense, which is why he was so cautious now.

Even if Yang Lu had not given instructions, he would have made such a choice; anyway, regardless of the starting point, Ma Dadan's current behavior at least counted as saving Lao Ba's life.

Yang Lu would not allow such a person to exist; that Lao Qi was just a mistake.

But this Lao Ba's hands were too restless; he was right this time, but would he be right next time?

Moreover, just because this tomb door opened did not necessarily prove his answer was correct; empty tombs and suspicious tombs are very common in burials.

After kicking Lao Ba a few times, Ma Dadan accompanied him with a smile, walked to Yang Lu, and said: "Team Leader, I have already beaten him, but although this kid did the wrong thing, the result is good."

Yang Lu frowned slightly; she looked at the tomb door and thought to herself, is the result really good?

She did not feel any good result; some things feel more important than reality, and a premonition in the dark might really guide them toward the most correct direction.

Therefore, Yang Lu still chose to act cautiously.

Wang Kaixuan walked to Yang Lu's side at this time and said: "Team Leader Yang, I'll go in and take a look."

Yang Lu shook her head; she walked to the tomb door and looked at the group of people inside, who were lying around the coffin, examining it carefully.

Lao San's eyes were full of greedy light as he said: "This coffin looks good; there must be treasures inside."

Yang Lu glanced at Ma Dadan and said: "Call all your people back."

Ma Dadan nodded; if Yang Lu had ordered them directly, it certainly would not have had any effect.

Now, as the boss of the other side, since Ma Dadan listened to her, whether sincere or fake, at least Yang Lu needed to order him to control these people well; they must not touch the coffin easily.

Wang Kaixuan took a step forward, and Yang Lu pressed her hand directly on his shoulder, saying: "Let's not go in either; I have a bad feeling."

Wang Kaixuan was stunned, but he did not ask more and nodded; all these bad premonitions came from the instrument that appeared at the entrance.

In the entire Western Zhou burial, even in the case of a hidden treasure, this should be the coffin of the original tomb owner, so under this premise, why put this instrument here?
