People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 41 Embroidery on linen - wasted effort (please support!)

Hu Bayi nodded slightly, without delving into the issue. He took the wrench and placed it on the groove of the iron door to compare.

After making some calculations in his mind and feeling that he could give it a try, he said to Chen Ziyan and Wang Kaixuan:

"Get ready. If there is really something in here, don't worry about it. Just put it down first and then talk about it!"

"Do not worry!"

Wang Kaixuan had been prepared for a long time. At this moment, he was holding a gun in one hand and holding the remaining sword tightly with the other. His eyes were fixed on the iron door in front of him, and he was ready to take action if he disagreed.

Chen Ziyan also nodded slightly to Hu Bayi, indicating that he was also ready.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi said no more, put the submachine gun within easy reach, then held the handle of the hex wrench with both hands and began to pull the threads in the groove of the iron door.

It's just that this iron door hasn't been opened for decades. In such a humid and dark environment, the threads have already rusted to death. Hu Bayi used all his strength to get it to slowly rotate.

Squeak, squeak, squeak—

Along with a harsh friction sound, the air groove under the iron door made a "chi" sound.

Hearing the sound from the air tank, Hu Bayi knew that air had begun to enter, and he quickly accelerated the speed and continued to rotate.

Click——

As he turns, the air-tight door absorbs more and more air.

When the inside was completely filled with air, the heavy iron door finally opened in response.

The moment the door opened, Hu Bayi dropped the wrench and retreated. He also raised his submachine gun and aimed it at the door.

But the situation was somewhat beyond their expectations. It was pitch dark inside the door and there was no movement at all.

Hu Bayi wanted to use the flashlight to see what was going on inside, but found that something was going on inside. The light from the flashlight shined in, as if it had been swallowed by something.

After trying to no avail, Hu Bayi simply put away the flashlight, took out a handful of glutinous rice from his pocket and threw it over.

In an instant, the glutinous rice fell into the door like a goddess scattering flowers.

Under the circumstances at hand, Hu Bayi felt that nothing could be more suitable for exploring the road than Nuomi.

If there is really an ambush inside, it will definitely catch the opponent off guard.

At this time, the surroundings were silent, only the crackling sound of falling glutinous rice echoed.

After waiting quietly for a minute, but nothing happened, Chen Ziyan said:

"It seems that we are suspicious of a ghost, so we should go in and take a look first."

"Okay!"

After receiving the order to act, Wang Kaixuan, who could no longer hold himself back, rushed in immediately.

As he advanced, he waved the remaining sword in his hand, and his posture really sounded like a charge before the formation.

But - it's a low-end version.

Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi followed closely behind and entered the secret room together.

I don’t know what’s going on, but the light coming in from the outside has obviously disappeared, but the flashlight is not affected inside.

Through the light of the flashlight, they discovered that the secret room was about forty square meters, and there were no other entrances or exits except the air-tight door behind it.

There are neither the treasures that Wang Kaixuan expected nor the biochemical weapons that Hu Bayi imagined. Instead, there are more than a dozen coffins arranged in a messy manner.

These coffins appear to be of different sizes, probably due to their age, so most of them have rotted away, and only a few of them still retain their original appearance.

"Did we run into the Zongzi Nest?" Wang Kaixuan almost stopped cursing when he saw this result.

As the saying goes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. This is how Wang Kaixuan felt at this time.

Hu Bayi ignored him. After looking at the coffins and thinking for a moment, he expressed his analysis:

"These coffins should come from the underground of Yerengou. They must have accidentally encountered an ancient tomb buried underground when they were building the fortress. I didn't expect them to put the coffins here."

He walked to a nearby coffin, looked inside, and continued: "I guess I was too hasty during the retreat and only had time to take away the funerary objects, leaving these coffins here."

Wang Kaixuan heard this and said angrily: "These dogs are good at leading sheep!"

With the mess in front of them, they probably didn't even have a hair left.

After saying that, he kicked the coffin next to him so hard that the lid of the coffin fell off.

At this time, Hu Bayi discovered that Chen Ziyan had been silent since he came in. He seemed to be thinking about something, so he asked curiously: "Mr. Chen, have you discovered anything?"

Chen Ziyan heard this and pointed to the coffins around him and said: "The coffins here confirmed our guess. There is indeed a group of tombs in Yerengou, but it seems that they have all been dug out now. The general's tomb we entered,

I’m afraid it’s the only fish left that has slipped through the net.”

Chen Ziyan also realized after seeing the coffins here that there should be no other tombs here.

The area of ​​Yerengou is so large that it can hold as many tombs as possible. I am afraid that all the remaining residents in this area will meet here.

"yes!"

Hu Bayi had not thought about this at first, but when he was reminded by Chen Ziyan, he suddenly came to his senses.

Judging from the number of coffins in front of us, they should cover most of the tombs in Yerengou.

Even if that general's tomb is not the only one left, there are probably only one or two left.

The truth is probably as Chen Ziyan said, the general's tomb they discovered was the only one that slipped through the net.

After all, judging from the map, the fortress has three passages connecting the hills on both sides, and these three passages traverse the entire Savage Valley underground.

The size of these noble tombs is not small, and the possibility of not being discovered under such circumstances is too low.

That is to say, the location of the general's tomb was just right for its size, so it was able to survive the disaster.

But such a coincidence is difficult to replicate, otherwise there wouldn't be so many coffins here.

"Oh, this is really embroidery on linen - a waste of effort." At this time, Wang Kaixuan sighed with some disappointment.

While the two of them were talking, he had already rummaged through several coffins, but unfortunately found nothing but bones.

"That's not right. There are some valuable things in this secret room. It's up to you, fat man, to take them out."

When Chen Ziyan heard what he said, he pointed to the two golden nanmu coffins placed in the secret room and said.

Although they are far inferior to those priceless funerary objects, they are not large enough to hold these two coffins. If they can be taken out from here, they will be worth a lot of money even if they are sold as lumber.

"Can this coffin be sold for money?" Wang Kaixuan didn't recognize it as golden nanmu, and thought Chen Ziyan was talking about the coffin itself.

However, Hu Bayi saw this and reminded him: "That is the material of golden nanmu. You still don't understand what Mr. Chen means?"

"Golden nanmu!" Wang Kaixuan was instantly happy.

If he said that, he would understand.

This golden nanmu is a good thing!

He immediately circled around the two golden nanmu coffins, wondering how to bring them to the ground.

But he never considered at all that even if he could take the coffin out, he would not be able to take it out of the mountain.
