"This stone slab is so big, it looks like a door panel in a tomb."

"And this side should be facing inward, and there should be another door panel corresponding to it."

"But now, this thing has appeared outside, and there is only one piece. It is really weird!"

Hearing Su Mu say this, several people felt strange.

"Yeah, why is this nice door panel here?"

"Is there a possibility that this door panel had any flaws when it was being made, and then it was abandoned here?" the four-character brother guessed.

"It is possible, but I think it would be a pity to abandon such a big thing."

"And look at the carvings on it, they are so detailed. Even the feet are carved lifelike."

"Isn't it a bit wasteful to just throw it away like this?" Yang Mi said.

The others nodded, thinking what she said made sense.

Transportation conditions in the past were not as good as today, and even now it is not easy to transport such a large board.

So this board is most likely made from local materials.

Polish a stone into a flat board, and then carve such a fine pattern on the board.

This may take a long time to complete and is the result of countless craftsmen working hard day and night.

Therefore, I will not give up easily, nor will I just leave it here.

"If it wasn't abandoned, then maybe... the palace collapsed for some reason."

"Perhaps there was a large-scale collapse, such as a change in the landscape, that brought this thing here?" Lu Han guessed.

"Whoever was able to move this thing here must have suffered such a serious collapse!"

"Either a large avalanche, an earthquake, or a volcanic eruption..." Wu Jing seemed to be a little dismissive of this speculation.

"That's right! Brother Jing, you are right!"

Lu Han stopped Wu Jing's words and snapped his fingers excitedly.

Wu was startled.

"What are you doing? You're so surprised. I just said so many words, which one is right!"

"The volcano is erupting!" Lu Han said excitedly.

"Changbai Mountain is an active volcano and it erupted once a thousand years ago!"

"This thing was probably pushed here during that volcanic eruption!"

Lu Han's words made Wu Jing and the others doubtful.

"If what you said is really right, doesn't it mean that the so-called Eastern Xia Imperial Tomb has been destroyed by the volcanic eruption?"

"Then what are we looking for here?" said the four-character brother.

As soon as he said these words, everyone suddenly felt discouraged.

"Bah, bah, bah, I think you are just talking nonsense, Lu Han! That's not the case at all!" Wu Jing spat.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing now. For now, we still have to think about how to spend this night!"

When everyone was in a low mood, Su Mu appeared in time and changed the direction of the topic.

Yes, at this moment, compared with studying what this stone slab is, what is more important is how they will spend tonight.

Although the wind and snow in this canyon are much lighter than above.

But the temperature is still very low.

There are no heating facilities around them.

There are not even broken branches in this canyon, so it is impossible to make a fire.

"Hey, have you smelled anything strange here?" At this time, Liu Tianxian, who had a sensitive nose, said.

When she said this, others also felt it.

"I've smelled it a long time ago, but I never had time to say anything." Wu said in surprise.

"This smell is quite strange. I seem to have smelled it somewhere, but I just can't remember where it is!" Lu Han said.

"I don't know why, but this smell makes me feel particularly warm!" Yang Mi said.

"It's sulfur!" Su Mu on the side said these words.

sulfur? Why does this name sound familiar and yet strange at the same time?

"Oh! I remembered! This is the smell of hot springs!"

"When I went to the hot springs before, the water was full of this smell. Why did it smell so warm!" Yang Mi said.

"Then does this mean that the hot spring is not far from us? If we find the hot spring, we will be saved!"

Others also became excited.

Su Mu walked along the path where the smell came from.

He walked all the way to the front of the stone slab.

I saw a small gap here, and bursts of white gas were blowing out.

And the smell of sulfur comes from this.

"What's going on? What's covered under this stone slab can't be a hot spring!" Wu Jing said, looking at the stone slab.

"If this is the case, then we are out of luck again. This stone slab looks to be several tons, and it is simply not something that a few of us can push!" said the four-character brother.

The very front of this stone slab is where the centipede's head is.

And at the mouth, there was a small opening, as if the insect was opening its mouth.

Su Mu looked at it and directly put his hand into the mouth.

Soon, he took his hand out, and an iron chain came out at the same time.

"What, what is this?" Everyone else who saw the chain looked surprised.

"This iron chain proves that our previous judgment was correct. This is indeed a door panel in the ancient tomb."

"The iron chain is the mechanism that opens the door!" Su Mu said.

"Then, does that mean we can pull the chain and open the door?" Wu Jing's mind suddenly opened up.

Everyone else was looking at Wu Jing with speechless expressions on their faces.

Su Mu also wanted to tease him, so he directly put the chain in his hand into Wu Jing's hand and said.

"Well, what you said makes sense. How about you try it yourself?"

Wu Jing didn't react, thinking that Su Mu was giving him a chance.

I took the chain over happily.

"No problem. Although I'm a little tired from all the hard work just now, I still have energy. Let me do it!"

After saying that, he started to pull on the iron chain.

It can be seen that he didn't hide it at all, and the veins on his face popped out from the exertion.

Su Mu took a few steps back and looked at the gap between the door panel and the ground.

"It seems that there is a possibility that there is a cave underneath this place after a volcanic eruption."

"If we can find a way to move this stone slab and enter the hole below, then we don't have to worry about freezing to death!"

"But this stone slab is so thick that we can't move it at all. How can we move it?" the four-character brother asked. (End of chapter)
