Chapter 2852: Torch Exorcises the Demon! Falling Into the Water Pool!

What she needed to do now was drive him out of this godforsaken place and find the mechanism that had opened the entrance they came through.

Just as Yang Lu was about to go look for the switch, she hadn't expected this space to suddenly begin trembling.

Silver liquid began spreading across the surrounding walls. Yang Lu had been through so many tombs that she recognized it at a glance—mercury.

At first Yang Lu had thought no major mishaps would happen here, since taking the eyeball had indeed gone smoothly at the start.

But now that the mercury was coming down, it meant that although this space held only the eyeball, it still had a self-protection mechanism.

At that moment Yang Lu didn't hesitate any longer. She immediately grabbed A Xiang's hand and ducked back into the place they'd come from.

A Xiang instinctively said, "Captain Yang, the front is sealed off. What do we—?"

Yang Lu shook her head without speaking.

This time she took point. When she reached the front, Yang Lu set the Vajra Umbrella on the ground, then suddenly kicked it hard—which was exactly the scene the second archaeology team saw afterward.

The Vajra Umbrella shot out first; this was Yang Lu's method of breaking through.

She could only do it this way. To be honest, there was an element of gambling in it, because she didn't know how strong this stone slab actually was. If its hardness were anywhere close to marble—

Even relying on the Vajra Umbrella's toughness, Yang Lu probably couldn't have smashed it open in one hit. But now time gave her no chance to think, so she could only gamble.

Fortunately Yang Lu succeeded—luck was still on her side.

The instant the Vajra Umbrella shot out, the force was so great that it flew all the way to the opposite side.

Wang Kaixuan instinctively caught the Vajra Umbrella, and in an instant a hundred-clawed hook shot up to the dome, and Yang Lu and A Xiang flew straight out.

Everyone who saw this breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a close call but at least both of them were fine. As for what they'd found inside that statue, whether it really was an entrance—Yang Lu would certainly tell them later.
