Chapter 521: One in a thousand! Ban Jie Li carries a pot down to the tomb!

~7 min read 1,343 words

This kind of ability of Ban Jie Li, when spoken of, doesn't seem like much, but at critical moments, it can save lives!

Especially since tomb raiding is most prone to strange situations, many of which are fatal.

Only by maintaining a high degree of vigilance can one avoid risks!

Zhang Lin continued: "Ban Jie Li sensed that the tomb chamber wasn't right, and knowing that the next step was to enter the tomb, he began to look around for something handy."

"Cha Le Gai was ordering everyone to throw away messy things and travel light."

"His plan was to enter the tomb chamber now, and before twelve o'clock, everyone would return the same way, leave this highland, and continue exploring the next day."

"Ban Jie Li watched his fellow disciples holding short knives and daggers for self-defense, but he himself was a bit lost."

"At this moment, Ban Jie Li's gaze fell on a large pot that had just been used to cook porridge."

"The pot had been eaten clean, and the Second Senior Brother had even washed it with the clean water he carried to prevent the smell of leftover food from attracting wild beasts on the grassland."

"Looking at the large pot supported on the firewood, Ban Jie Li suddenly picked it up and carried it on his back."

"This action made everyone laugh directly!"

"The Second Senior Brother looked at him like he was a fool and said: Kid Li, what are you doing? This pot is an aluminum pot, thin and light. Are you counting on this thing to be a weapon?"

"Ban Jie Li actually didn't know why he chose to carry a pot on his back."

"But he knew that the first time he saw this pot just now, his nasal cavity was filled with the special soil smell drifting out of the tomb chamber."

"Ban Jie Li's brain also seemed to be out of control, picking up the pot."

"Now being mocked by his fellow disciples, although Ban Jie Li was a bit embarrassed, he didn't intend to put the pot down."

"He pretended to be indifferent and said: This is the tool for eating; I'm afraid of losing it, so it's safe to carry it!"

"Hearing this, everyone felt even more that Ban Jie Li was acting stupid, so no one came to persuade him."

"Only Cha Le Gai looked at Ban Jie Li tying the pot to his back, his expression inexplicable and thoughtful."

"He also couldn't figure out what Ban Jie Li was doing!"

At this moment, there was a commotion in the Crescent Hotel.

There were those who were laughing, those who were surprised, and those who were shaking their heads in speechlessness.

Clearly, everyone didn't understand why Ban Jie Li would carry a pot down to raid a tomb?

Could it be that there are people who take the initiative to be the 'scapegoat' (pot-carrier)?

And this aluminum pot was used for cooking porridge, not the small, compact shape of a frying pan.

The pot mouth was large and deep, bulging out a large section on his back, which was really not very elegant!

It was also inconvenient to walk in the tomb chamber; the people behind were all pushed away a distance by Ban Jie Li's pot.

But no matter how confused everyone was, Ban Jie Li didn't intend to put the pot down.

He carried the pot on his back, followed his fellow disciples, and prepared to go down to the tomb!

In the office on the second floor, Zhang Yueshan and Yin Nanfeng had been completely attracted by this story.

Especially Ban Jie Li's act of carrying the pot; the two believed it must be very important!

Otherwise, Zhang Lin wouldn't have wasted so many words describing it!

It's just that even though the two of them knew a lot about tomb raiding, they couldn't figure out what use Ban Jie Li's pot had?

Yin Nanfeng thought for a long time before saying: "If you carry this thing into the tomb chamber, it's a burden."

"If you say it's for self-defense, to prevent people from sneaking up on you from behind, this aluminum pot can't block anything."

"Such a thin pot would be pierced by a single knife!"

"Ban Jie Li didn't have any skills at that time; apart from hindering his actions, I don't see any other function for this pot."

Zhang Yueshan disagreed and said: "Don't think about things so absolutely. Sometimes the more bizarre things are, the more reasonable they often are."

"You have to think about whose tomb this is and who participated in building it?"

Yin Nanfeng frowned and said without thinking: "The Thunder-Listening clan participated in building it, right!"

"What's the problem with this? Are you trying to say that the pot Ban Jie Li is carrying on his back is actually hearing some guidance?"

Yin Nanfeng's tone was slightly mocking, but Zhang Yueshan didn't answer, just calmly looking at Zhang Qi below the stage.

After a long while, the disdain on Yin Nanfeng's face slowly receded.

It was replaced by a somewhat shocked expression.

"No way? You old fart!"

"Could it really be that Ban Jie Li heard some guidance, which is why he had such an absurd action?"

"But thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible."

"This is Genghis Khan's imperial tomb, and Ghost Valley was also designed by the Thunder-Listeners."

"Throughout the entire team so far, only Ban Jie Li hasn't heard the thunder!"

"All kinds of weirdness indicate that this pot is probably very worth carrying!"

Hearing Yin Nanfeng say this, Zhang Yueshan couldn't help but laugh.

Then he said: "Whether it's worth it or not, we can only see what happens to him next."

"If this group of people is trapped in the tomb, and a ghost appears and says that a pot is needed to let them go, then this pot is a life-saver."

"Other than that, I really can't think of any situation in an underground ancient tomb where a pot could be used?"

Amidst the two's discussion, Zhang Lin had already begun to tell the next part of the content.

"Ban Jie Li carried the pot on his back and followed the Second Senior Brother into the tomb chamber."

"When the lighting equipment lit up, he saw clearly that they were in a small tomb chamber."

"There were some animals carved from stone in the tomb chamber, but they were placed very messily."

"It was like someone had moved them as a prank and then tossed them aside; some had already fallen to the ground."

"Ban Jie Li immediately asked the guide Lao Mi with some confusion: Uncle Mi, are there earthquakes on the grassland?"

"The so-called 'earth movement' is an earthquake. Ban Jie Li saw things in the tomb chamber tilted and thought it was caused by an earthquake."

"Lao Mi nodded and then said: There are, but if it were strong enough to shake such heavy stone statues, then at that intensity, this tomb would basically have collapsed too!"

"Ban Jie Li thought about it and felt it made sense; these stone statues looked extremely heavy, and he had just tried to push them and found he couldn't push them at all!"

"At this moment, Cha Le Gai told everyone not to stop and to continue deeper."

"He told everyone that this was just an unimportant side chamber, and the main tomb chamber was still behind."

"Hearing this, everyone stopped looking at the tilted stone statues and followed Cha Le Gai in a line into the tomb passage."

"Ban Jie Li carrying the pot would hinder others, so he took the initiative to walk at the back."

"When his hand touched the stone wall of the tomb passage, a cool feeling came from his fingertips."

"Ban Jie Li, as if possessed, put his nose to the stone wall of the tomb passage and took a deep breath."

"A familiar smell instantly rushed into his nasal cavity!"
