Tomb Raiders: Evacuate the Bronze Door

Chapter 20 Here we come to the hidden royal tomb under the shop (read more)

Everyone stared at the dense white mist that was constantly churning in the robbery cave.

Wu Xie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked Wu Erbai's buddy standing next to him who was guarding this special entrance:
"I heard from those who came to fish in troubled waters that Second Uncle left a few unsealed entrances."

"The way they came in and out before was through those entrances."

"Are those entrances the same?"

The guy shook his head and said with a serious face:

"Second Master didn't leave the hole on purpose, but he couldn't seal it at all."

Everyone's expressions were stunned.

Wu Erbai's buddy glanced at the strange entrance of the robbery cave with a look full of fear, and said quickly:

"Little third master, there is only the entrance inside this bedroom."

"It was the old man who brought the uncle, the second master, and the two third masters to dig out the robbery hole in shifts."

"It is said that it is the precise location specially marked on the map that the old man Wu Laogou got back then."

"They also drilled holes from other places, but they all went wrong."

"Later, there were other people who got the news from other places and wanted to come to get a share of the action."

"Because the entire hidden imperial mausoleum has a large area, many people have dug holes from different locations one after another over the years."

"But everyone else died horribly."

Zhou Fan touched his chin and said thoughtfully:

"Could it be because Wu Yiqiong, who was the previous 'medicine man who has passed down the Wu family for a thousand years', followed them back then."

"So when Wu Laogou, Wu Erbai, Wu Sansheng, Xie Lianhuan, and other places went down to rob holes, they were attacked or injured, and nothing serious happened?"

The guy nodded and said:

"Second Master and the others also came to the same conclusion."

Wu Xie turned blue, and asked the guy:

"Wait, do you mean, except for this only real robbery hole?"

"The other so-called entrances are all from the hidden imperial tomb, that is, the place that was turned into a top-quality corpse cave by that monster Yanglian Zhenjia."

"The corpse that crawled out by itself, a passage dug up from the inside?"

Wu Erbai's buddy nodded with a serious face, and said:
"In these years, the second master and the third master have basically taken turns guarding here."

"There are also some people who come with various purposes, and the second and third masters will not refuse."

"However, the second master has set a rule, as long as it is someone who wants to enter the hidden imperial tomb."

"You can only pick one, and enter through the passage dug out by the person who has undergone a strange corpse change."

"And it was agreed in advance that if you see someone who is not right coming out, or something that has obviously lost its mind and turned into a corpse, you will fill in the hole."

"but…"

The little brother frowned slightly and said:
"But some people came out looking normal at the time."

"And after a certain period of time, the passages they come out of cannot be filled."

Wu Erbai's buddy nodded stiffly.

Wu Xie's face turned ugly.

The fat man hissed and asked:
"How did you find out that that thing is abnormal?"

Wu Erbai's buddy stared at Wu Xie, brother, Zhou Fan, fat man, and said in a low voice:

"This is what the second master asked me to say directly."

"Because the old man Wu Laogou back then is already a 'dead dog hanging'."

"So when there were other dead dogs hanging up and sneaking into the hidden imperial tomb to deliver letters to the corpses inside, he discovered it."

"The old man followed the investigation for a long time before he confirmed that this hidden imperial tomb has been tampered with and turned into a top-quality corpse cave."

"Those corpses that didn't look right were all led away by an 'it' and its dog legs who were squatting outside."

"However, the matter has come to this point, the old man and the uncle, the second master and the third master can't let go of it, so they are forced to be dragged here."

Everyone looked at each other with complicated emotions.

Wu Xie rubbed her goosebumps and asked:

"Then what's the difference between us going in through the only thieves' hole that was dug out, and those other people going in through the passage dug out by things turned into corpses?"

Wu Erbai's buddy said seriously:
"Follow this robbery hole and go straight, and you will encounter a closed wall."

"Only by injecting some 'blood of the millennium medicine man of the Wu family' can the closed door be opened."

The fat man burst into joy, patted his thigh and said:

"The VIP channel is costing blood instead?"

"Could it be that there is a treasure house of secret rooms in it, which can be opened through the blood of the 'thousand-year-old medicine men' like Naive?"

The little brother nodded and said:
"Probably."

Wu Xie asked puzzledly:
"Since it's said to be the 'inheritance of the thousand-year-old medicine man', why didn't my father and the eighteen generations of ancestors who went up the road didn't open that secret treasure?"

Zhou Fan raised his eyebrows and said:
"The concentration of the medicine man is not enough."

Wu Erbai's buddy made a "please come in" gesture to everyone, nodded and said:
"The old man speculated that way before."

"Although the uncle looks like a gentle university professor on the surface, in fact..."

"It is said that the third master is strong, but the second master can beat a hundred third masters...Don't look at me like that, I am the second master's subordinate, so don't take it too seriously."

"But the strength of the uncle... the second master has not told us about the record of fighting against the uncle, so the strength of the uncle must be stronger."

Everyone looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.

Brother reminded:
"Wu Xie, the sunset is almost over."

Wu Xie pursed her lips, took out a sharp knife from her backpack, made gestures on her arm, and asked:

"How much blood do you need? A bowl? Or a jar of water?"

Wu Erbai's buddy covered his eyes and said:

"Nine drops of blood essence from the tip of the tongue is enough, just spray it on the sealed wall under the robber's cave."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Xie also had an expression of "bad, that's how it is, it's a little drizzle".

Wu Xie asked curiously again:

"Then these white thick fogs that look very weird, shouldn't we ignore them?"

Wu Erbai's buddy nodded and said:
"According to the in-depth experience of the second master and the others before, as long as the young third master and you guys don't leave each other more than 50 meters away, there will be no problem."

"Actually, even if you don't come here yourself, third master, it's still fine to open the door with your blood."

"But it is said that the secret chamber cannot be opened without the person himself."

The fat man looked at Wu Xie's face turning blue, patted him on the shoulder, and said:
"Naive and content, it's good that you haven't been forcibly tied up by others as the key to open the door."

Seeing that the matter had been explained clearly, Wu Erbai's buddy nodded to everyone, exited the room, and closed the door behind him.

Wu Xie took a few deep breaths, glanced at Zhou Fan, the little brother, and the fat man, and then shouted at the robbery cave filled with strange white mist:
"Extreme corpse raising cave, here we come!"

Everyone is happy.

Zhou Fan was the first to enter the robbery cave, followed by Wu Xie and Fatty, and the little brother was in charge of breaking the back.

The light stick was thrown in, and after a few rolls, it lost its trace.

Everyone turned on the searchlights and walked down, which could only illuminate a few square meters nearby.

As everyone walked down cautiously, Wu Xie looked around and said:
"The skill of digging a robbery hole is really the way my grandfather and third uncle can use it."

"It does look like it's aged."

The fat man suddenly snorted and said:

"Wait, I think something is wrong with the raised position on the wall of the robbery hole."

Everyone stopped.

Zhou Fan frowned, looked at some "human-shaped" protrusions on the earth wall, and said:
"It looks like someone has been sealed in the soil layer."

The younger brother's expression suddenly changed, and he slid his fingers across the earthen wall and said:

"Something is moving inside the earthen wall, and the movement is relatively slight for the time being."

The fat man looked at Wu Xie in a flash, and said in admiration:

"Innocent, we haven't even seen the coffin board yet, and we're starting to cheat the corpse?"
