Chapter 95: Skeleton

As soon as Lao Qifeng said this, someone’s face turned cold.

This matter was everyone pooling people to come in, at most a cooperative relationship, so it was your turn to give orders?

However, no one spoke to refute, they just pretended not to hear. Either standing still, or using their own weapons to knock on the stone wall and check for traces.

Lao Qifeng was not in a hurry, standing there with his arms crossed, watching everyone toss and turn.

He did have the intention of wanting to compete for dominance, and the words just now were deliberately omitting the polite part.

There is one, there is two, there is three. As long as everyone follows his words a few more times, the Beggar Sect will naturally become the leader of this matter, which is conducive to the later competition for the Wedding Dress Divine Art.

Moreover, what he said just now was not half a lie. Now in the tomb chamber, there is no way to heaven and no way to earth, no matter how much everyone delays, they will eventually have to follow his way.

However, Li Miao had no patience to accompany these people to play the game of finding mechanisms.

"Let me see," Li Miao said.

With that, he stepped forward, walked to the stone wall, and said to Lao Qifeng: "Leader Lao, let me pass."

Lao Qifeng looked unkind, moved aside, and watched what kind of moth Li Miao was going to make.

He used his palm to hit the stone wall and stone wall, and could only hear that there was a mechanism inside.

But Li Miao’s ear skill could eavesdrop on Liu Baiyun and Mei Qinghe talking through two or three layers of door panels, so he had long been clear about the general shape of this mechanism.

Li Miao first scanned up and down, then walked to the edge of the stone wall, and punched the wall.

This punch was not heavy, at least in the eyes of everyone, it was just a punch from an ordinary second-rate hard-body expert.

But this move made a sound ten times greater than Lao Qifeng’s.

Click—click—

Bang bang bang—

Only a series of sounds came from the stone wall, as if heavy objects fell to the ground, and as if the sound of winches and chains rubbing, and it stopped after a while.

The stone wall remained motionless.

Lao Qifeng breathed a sigh of relief on the side and said, "Hero Li also understands the art of mechanisms?"

"A little, a little," Li Miao smiled. "A Paojianghu wanderer, used to relying on himself for everything, so he has to know a little bit about everything."

Lao Qifeng turned his head to look at the stone wall, turned around to face everyone and said, "Since Hero Li has tried, we don't have anyone who understands the art of mechanisms."

"Everyone, let’s do as I said."

Before he finished speaking, a rumbling sound came from behind, and everyone’s face changed in unison.

Lao Qifeng turned his head abruptly, and like everyone else, was shocked and speechless.

I saw Li Miao insert one hand into the bottom of the wall, and without seeing how he exerted force, he actually "lifted" the stone wall, revealing the pitch-black hole behind it.

That was a bluestone three or four feet thick and a foot wide! Ten thousand catties couldn't stop it!

How did Li Miao lift it like lifting a curtain!

"Hero Li, you, you—"

Li Miao turned his head and smiled. "Ah, you don't need to be surprised. This stone wall lifted itself up, I just helped it."

Lifting a huge stone of tens of thousands of catties with brute force, Li Miao couldn't do it either.

Just now, his punch was the "hitting an ox across a mountain" technique, precisely destroying the "lock" of this stone wall across the wall. And then he lifted it, giving the stone wall an upward trend, triggering the mechanism, and the stone wall naturally rose.

After he said this, everyone’s face calmed down.

Lao Qifeng also hurriedly found a way to make up for it. "Thanks to Hero Li, otherwise it would take more effort."

"Everyone, since the road ahead is open, let’s go in quickly."

With that, he led everyone into the pitch-black hole.

After everyone went in, Li Miao let go, and appeared inside in a flash.

As soon as he let go, a loud bang of "bang" was heard, and the stone wall fell violently, sealing the retreat.

Everyone’s face changed in unison: "Hero Li, this!"

Li Miao clapped his hands: "Ah, I forgot."

"If this stone wall is not lifted by someone, it will trigger the closing mechanism by itself."

"The opening mechanism is outside, I’m afraid we are trapped, this is bad!"

Hearing him say this, everyone was even more panicked.

Lao Qifeng heard Li Miao’s tone was relaxed, and hurriedly asked: "Hero Li, this is not the time to joke."

"If the retreat is cut off, even if the people outside react and start digging, it won't be dug through in ten days or half a month. We didn't bring food for a few days, even if our internal energy is successful and we can adjust our breathing and sit in meditation, we will probably die half of us by then!"

Li Miao waved his hand: "Leader Lao, don't panic."

"Although our retreat is cut off, there is faintly wind ahead."

"There must be a passage ahead, just explore forward as it is."

He did it on purpose.

Although Li Miao knows some mechanism arts, Li Miao is not familiar with grave robbing.

According to everyone’s plan, it is to explore forward bit by bit, and if there is a life danger, retreat, and wait until the countermeasures are discussed before entering.

But Li Miao had no patience to explore bit by bit with these people. He simply cut off the retreat and forced these people to explore together.

No matter how high Li Miao’s Wu Gong is, he can’t be in two places at once. If they encounter a situation that requires separate exploration, these experts who came in will be useful.

Lao Qifeng heard that Li Miao didn't look like he was joking, and while secretly developing precautions and doubts about Li Miao, he also sighed helplessly.

"In this case, we can only go to the dark on one road."

Everyone nodded, took out torches and fire oil from their bags, and illuminated the surroundings.

They were talking just now, relying on a glimmer of light from the cracks in the stone wall. They could only see the movements of the people opposite, and the surroundings were pitch black.

When the fire illuminated the surroundings, everyone gasped in unison.

This place is a narrow alley relative to the outside, all the way down. Looking at the fire, you can't see the end.

And on the walls on both sides of the alley, things were embedded, faintly protruding from the wall surface.

Everyone looked closely, and on the wall, there were countless white skeletons embedded!

Lao Qifeng tried to be calm, stepped forward to check, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not human, it should be the skeletons of livestock like mice, chickens, and ducks."

While checking, he walked forward two steps, but frowned for a while.

"No."

"This skeleton, it seems there is some doorway."

Qingcheng Sect leader asked: "If Leader Lao has a discovery, please speak directly."

The two didn't deal with each other on weekdays, and they had a quarrel about eating last night. But in the current situation, Lao Qifeng couldn't care about fighting with him.

"Leader Hao, come and see."

Lao Qifeng greeted and pointed to the wall: "From the stone wall to here, they are all mouse skeletons."

"Then from here to here, it’s fish bones."

"Then back, it’s poultry like chickens, ducks, and geese. The middle is distinct, like arranged from small to large."

Lao Qifeng looked at the deep alley ahead.

"Looking at this distance, this alley is far more than one or two hundred meters."

"If you calculate based on the size change of these animals and the distance of the wall, I’m afraid there will be a section of skeletons in the middle, which is the size of a human."
