Chapter 601

~7 min read 1,281 words

Yang Lusi carefully compared the position order drawn on the paper. Before entering the cell, she used a flashlight to shine on each of the marked cages one by one.

And when she finished doing this and was about to enter the cell, Hu Bayi couldn't help but say with some worry, "Team Leader Yang, why don't we throw a stone to ask the way first."

Hu Bayi said this because of his worry about what happened just now; the sleeve-arrow mechanism would appear when this cage was turned.

And the reason for being so worried was precisely because the mechanism had already been triggered before.

If they rushed in now, who knows what other things might happen.

After all, the news from Zhang Lin hadn't been transmitted over yet.

But Yang Lusi shook her head at this time. She knew very well that if Zhang Lin had said in the storytelling that they shouldn't act rashly at this time.

The official personnel would definitely call immediately, and she would receive the notification at the first moment.

Since there wasn't, it meant that the subsequent things could proceed according to the original plan.

Things had been delayed for more than twenty minutes, and Yang Lusi didn't want to delay any longer.

After opening the tomb of the Prince of Gumo and finding valuable information, they would rest for the night and continue their journey.

If they delayed like this and missed tomorrow's schedule, no one knew what changes would occur after the desert.

Before they came in, the guide had already mentioned the sandstorm.

If the sandstorm came and they still wanted to continue forward, they would have to face great risks. No one could guess the mind of Heaven.

Everything in the desert is uncontrollable. While there are dangers underground, it's sometimes not that safe on the surface either.

And when Wang Kaixuan heard Hu Bayi say this, he patted his shoulder heavily and said, "Old Hu, since when did you become so timid?"

Hu Bayi glared at Wang Kaixuan fiercely. He couldn't say anything about Yang Lusi expressing her opinion, but this guy was different.

"You think everyone is like you."

Hu Bayi didn't say anything too heavy, fearing that Yang Lusi would think he was targeting her.

Yang Lusi didn't pay attention to the two's thoughts at this time. Regardless of what they were saying, she took a deep breath and stepped into the cell.

But after taking only two steps, her footsteps stopped.

Turning her head, she saw Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan following her consciously.

Yang Lusi couldn't help but say, "You two wait a moment; I'll go explore the path."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other. Hu Bayi then understood that it wasn't that Yang Lusi was in a hurry and forgot about the danger.

But that she was going to risk her life.

Wang Kaixuan soon grinned and said, "Team Leader Yang, you can't look down on people."

"And you can't always be the one rushing to the front. This time we'll bring up the rear. If any danger appears, we can still block the blade for you."

Stubborn people are all honest people; Wang Kaixuan was just like that.

Yang Lusi's expression gradually turned cold. Talking nicely might not have any effect.

She could also understand the good intentions of these two people, but this was absolutely not the time to joke with their lives.

If she went in and sleeve-arrows shot out, relying on the Vajra Umbrella and her body technique, there would be no problem at all; she could avoid those dangers.

Just when dragging Young Master Zhao out just now, Yang Lusi's ears had already detected the approximate trajectory of the sleeve-arrows.

That is to say, if there really were such a mechanism again, as long as there was sound, she could react at the first moment.

But these two might not. Fatty was quite professional at hitting people, but in terms of agility, let alone comparing with her, he might even be worse than those ordinary people with good agility.

Yang Lusi directly changed to a commanding tone and said, "I am the team leader, listen to me. I will go in first to mark the positions of the cages, and then you can come in."

The two shrugged at the same time, showing a different kind of tacit understanding, but couldn't refute anything.

However, similar emotions were expressed by the netizens watching the live stream in the form of comments.

【Wuwuwu! So moving. Regardless of whether she is the leader of the Banshan faction, Team Leader Yang's sense of responsibility is truly rare.】

【Who says it isn't? It's already like this, and she still doesn't let her team members be in any danger.】

【So beautiful, so powerful, and such a good person. Does this make people want to live?】

【Hehe, jealous, right? Take off that high-tech face of yours before talking.】

【Regardless, from now on Team Leader Yang is my goal. I also want to study archaeology.】

【Little girl, archaeology isn't playing house. I advise you to be cautious.】

While the comments were still talking nonsense, Yang Lusi started walking again.

Walking all the way, the sleeve-arrows under her feet were still lying in place.

Even though who knows how many years had passed, these arrowheads were still sharp, maintaining a tough posture to guard the tomb chamber below.

Being one step away from success, Yang Lusi wasn't that anxious instead. Her footsteps moved forward bit by bit without being hurried or empty.

She didn't come to the eight cages marked with numbers on the paper first, but instead carefully circled around the cell.

To see if it was possible for other mechanisms to appear.

After a while, everything was stable. After confirming absolute safety, Yang Lusi walked toward the eight cages one by one and marked the order for each.

Afterward, Yang Lusi also breathed a long sigh of relief. She assumed she didn't need to worry about the rest, because that was what Zhang Lin said.

The only thing she needed to think about was whether there would be any hidden dangers inside the tomb chamber after that door was opened.

At this moment, she also had a feeling of clearing the clouds to see the sky. Although it was less than half an hour.

But she had really experienced many things, which could be completely defined as full of twists and turns.

However, thinking about it, this just reflected the saying "good things take time." The greater the twists, the greater the surprises they would bring.

Yang Lusi thought firmly that the tomb chamber at the very bottom must be able to find clues about the Ancient City of Jingjue, and could also point out a clearer direction for their subsequent path.

Immediately, she shouted to the outside, "Eight people come in, no more."

Hearing this order, joy flashed across the faces of Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.

Naturally, they were the first to walk in, followed by the other six who were eager to try.

Those who didn't make it showed disappointment one after another. There was no way; such things are for those who are fast.

For them, it wasn't just the joy of discovering the tomb chamber; when they personally turned these various mechanisms, there was a feeling of connecting with the ancients.

Most people do archaeology because they are interested in this kind of heavy history.

In such a place, being able to resonate with the predecessors, this kind of thing that can only be understood but not described cannot be told to others. Those who understand naturally understand.
