Chapter 523
"And when human voices disappeared and there was no other sound in the tomb passage, Ban Jie Li vaguely heard water sound."
"It wasn't the crisp sound of a trickling stream, nor the vigorous sound of waves hitting the shore."
"Ban Jie Li felt that this water sound was very strange, muffled, and sounded very oppressive, as if it were about to surge from all directions."
"But now is not the time to consider these; he must quickly catch up with the people in front."
"Ban Jie Li had no experience in tomb raiding, and it's easy to get into danger if you get separated from the team underground."
"After Ban Jie Li stumbled in the tomb passage for more than ten minutes, he finally saw a stone door."
"The stone door had already been opened, indicating that the people in front were inside!"
"Ban Jie Li was very excited and immediately drilled in, but found that only his fellow disciples were in this tomb chamber; Cha Le Gai and the guide Lao Mi were gone!"
Hearing this, the audience knew that something must have happened in these short ten-plus minutes.
The disappearance of Cha Le Gai and the guide Lao Mi meant that there was no one in this group who knew the information about this ancient tomb.
They would either continue to probe to the end like headless flies,
or return the same way!
But clearly, tomb raiders who had already entered an ancient tomb would never give up such a good opportunity.
Especially since Ban Jie Li and the others had walked here from the distant inland.
If they didn't make a profit and go back, they would have come for nothing!
Sure enough, Zhang Lin continued: "Ban Jie Li found that the important figures were missing and immediately asked the Second Senior Brother where Cha Le Gai had gone?"
"Who knew the entire team was very strange, everyone was silent and didn't speak, appearing particularly terrifying in the pitch-black tomb chamber."
"After a long while, he heard the Second Senior Brother say with a look of resentment: The two of them ran away; they disappeared as soon as they entered this tomb chamber! When we came in again, there was nothing in here!"
"At this time, Ban Jie Li hadn't realized the Second Senior Brother's meaning; the Second Senior Brother was clearly resentful that the tomb chamber was empty, suspecting that Cha Le Gai and Lao Mi had taken the treasures inside."
"But Ban Jie Li's attention was all on the disappearance of the two."
"This tomb chamber isn't big; for two people to disappear in such a short time, it's only possible that there is a secret passage here!"
"It's just that regarding this aspect of professional knowledge, let alone Ban Jie Li, even these fellow disciples who entered early were only half-knowledgeable."
"The Second Senior Brother had already taken people to check the tomb chamber before Ban Jie Li came in, but found nothing."
"Ban Jie Li didn't believe in evil, carrying a large pot, and searched the tomb chamber alone."
"But after a while, he also found nothing."
"Just as he was about to discuss with his fellow disciples what to do next, he saw the Second Senior Brother looking at him with an unkind expression."
"The Second Senior Brother's eyes and expression were very fierce, making Ban Jie Li feel extremely strange."
"He heard the Second Senior Brother question: You have been lagging behind just now; were you coordinating with those two?"
"This question really made no sense, and Ban Jie Li naturally denied it immediately."
"But the Second Senior Brother was still relentless, even showing a strange smile, and said to Ban Jie Li: You can speak Mongolian that we don't understand, so you know Cha Le Gai's secret! They disappeared so suddenly, which means they know this ancient tomb like the back of their hand! Are you still hiding secrets from us?"
"Hearing this, Ban Jie Li felt even more wronged. He did know some of Cha Le Gai's secrets, but he had already told the Second Senior Brother everything; how could he possibly hide anything?"
"But at this time, the expressions of the Second Senior Brother and other senior brothers became eerie, clearly not believing Ban Jie Li's words at all."
"Ban Jie Li also finally realized that he was now in a dangerous situation!"
Inside the Crescent Hotel, the audience broke into a cold sweat for Ban Jie Li.
Ban Jie Li went down to the tomb without bringing any handy weapons, only carrying a pot.
Now the Second Senior Brother and the others determined that Ban Jie Li was hiding something, and they had murderous intent!
By himself, he was no match for this group of people at all!
Everyone couldn't help but worry, how would Ban Jie Li escape this disaster?
Inside the mysterious room, even Chang San was attracted by the story.
Although he really wanted to know where Cha Le Gai and Lao Mi had gone, Ban Jie Li's fate was also intriguing.
Especially since Ban Jie Li was the protagonist of the story, his encounter must be the core of the story at this time.
In other words, standing from a god's-eye view, Ban Jie Li was the one most likely to come into contact with the true center of the imperial tomb, or Lei Cheng.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Lin continued: "Ban Jie Li is actually in a very awkward state now because he cannot prove himself!"
"From the moment the entire team only had him who could understand the Borjigin language, Ban Jie Li became an isolated island."
"The trust of his fellow disciples in him didn't depend on Ban Jie Li; it depended on their own moral standards!"
"Just like now, when greed took the upper hand, even if Ban Jie Li didn't hide any secrets, the Second Senior Brother and the others thought he did!"
"The subsequent story is nothing to write home about; I've already spoiled it for everyone before."
"Ban Jie Li had his legs broken by the Second Senior Brother leading the way, and he was subjected to torture, just to make him tell the remaining secrets!"
"But in reality, Ban Jie Li had already said everything he should have said; he couldn't make anything up!"
"Seeing that he was about to be beaten to death by this group of people, Ban Jie Li thought of a way to stall for time."
"He reminded the Second Senior Brother and the others that it was almost twelve o'clock, and Cha Le Gai had said before that they must leave the highland before twelve o'clock, otherwise there would be danger."
"Originally, the Second Senior Brother and the others didn't believe Cha Le Gai's words anymore."
"But regarding life safety, these words came from Ban Jie Li's mouth, so the Second Senior Brother thought it was something Ban Jie Li had overheard from Cha Le Gai!"
"Helplessly, the group prepared to leave the tomb chamber, return to the ground, and continue exploring during the day the next day."
"And Ban Jie Li was left behind; this group of people didn't intend to take this cripple out."
"Seeing this, Ban Jie Li was extremely terrified; he didn't want to stay here alone to pass twelve midnight."
"But no matter how he cried and howled in the tomb chamber, the Second Senior Brother took the people and left without looking back."
"Watching the tomb chamber door being closed again by this group of people, Ban Jie Li let out a roar, dragging his broken legs to crawl on the ground, constantly patting and shouting!"
