The two engaged in a passionate kiss that lasted for several minutes. After indulging in the warmth for a while, they started to chat about other matters.
Soon, night fell, and since they had no leads, no one stayed late to work. This allowed Luo Feng to spend a good four or five hours with Li Shishi and Qin Rubing. The two were exhausted, making Luo Feng wonder if he was human.
The following day, around nine in the morning, Professor Gu Santong arrived on the scene with over twenty individuals.
“Little Luo, what’s the situation here?” he asked.
Luo Feng shook his head, “We can’t get in!”
“Do you have any other ways of entering in mind?” Gu Santong questioned.
“Yes, I do!”
“Eh?” This response left Gu Santong baffled. He had casually asked, not expecting that Luo Feng already had a solution.
“What’s the method? If you have a way, why aren’t you proceeding?” Gu Santong inquired further.
“Over there!” Luo Feng pointed in a direction that aligned with the marks indicating treasures on the periphery. “I plan to dig down from there, all the way into the main tomb chamber from underneath!”
Hearing this, Gu Santong immediately started brainstorming. Given the measurements of the tomb passageway, the tomb likely lay five to six meters underground. To dig beneath it, they would need to go down at least seven to eight meters, perhaps even ten. After making a turn, the total distance could add up to fifteen to sixteen meters.
At first glance, this did not seem too difficult for modern machinery. The main challenge lay in the accurate location of the tomb chamber; an error could easily lead them astray. Moreover, too much digging could potentially lead to a collapse of the entire tomb.
However, Luo Feng did not have a better idea at the moment. Attempting to enter the tomb directly was out of the question. If the tomb was entirely surrounded by quicksand, any movement would likely trigger a trap. The only option left was to enter from below. After all, if the ground was filled with quicksand, it would be impossible for a tomb to be situated there. The foundation had to be solid.
“You make the decision. As long as we can accurately locate the tomb chamber, I believe it’s feasible,” Gu Santong left the decision up to Luo Feng. He did not dare to make the call since he could not accurately determine the tomb’s position. The decision now lay entirely with Luo Feng.
“Alright then, let’s dig!” Luo Feng agreed, confident about the position of the tomb chamber due to the system. Wherever the most treasures were indicated, that would undoubtedly be the tomb chamber.
Without further delay, Luo Feng prepared to embark on his journey to Sakura Country after finalizing the plan. The initial plan to leave for Sakura Country in half a month was now likely to be postponed.
The group entered the tent and started discussing how to dig and where to dig. They sketched out rough diagrams and planned their steps, with Luo Feng leading the entire process.
In the midst of their meeting at noon, Luo Feng received a call from General Li, a high-ranking official from the Northeast.
“General Li, what can I assist you with?”
“Little Feng, the international military court is set to convene tomorrow!”
“Has it not yet convened?” Luo Feng questioned, initially informed that the court would be in session in half a month. It had been a month since then.
General Li began, “Indeed, it has not started yet. In the interim, we have been verifying the authenticity of the letters, which has taken up a significant amount of time, hence the delay. The court is set to officially begin tomorrow. As the person who discovered the evidence, you might want to come and witness the proceedings. If you wish to come, I can send a helicopter to pick you up right now! Oh, and the pilot is a beautiful woman!”
Luo Feng chuckled softly. He found the idea of a beautiful pilot rather intriguing. After all, there could be a unique charm to it in the sky.
“Will my presence have any impact?” asked Luo Feng.
“Basically, none, but since you found the letters, everyone would like you to be there!”
“I am quite busy here, and once I finish, I have to head to Japan. I think I will not go,” Luo Feng said. Listening to the other party’s tone, he realized that his presence would be merely symbolic and not serve any practical purpose. He decided not to go.
“All right then, I will hang up now!”
General Li was a little regretful. He had thrown in a beautiful pilot to entice Luo Feng, but he still refused. Thus, Luo Feng would be absent on the day of the court.
What Luo Feng did not know was that in the Northeastern Military Department, there was a vibrant and elegant girl named Han Binglan, a prestigious figure from the capital. Her father was one of the only eight nine-star generals in the military department. At that moment, she was stomping her foot in frustration. She had initially been reluctant when her superiors arranged for her to pick someone up, given that she was one of the most outstanding pilots in the air force. She had agreed only because she was told that it was important for Luo Feng to be present at the court. She had been told that if there were a beautiful woman involved, he would surely come. But now? He had still refused? This made Han Binglan slightly indignant.
Luo Feng, however, knew nothing about her anger. After hanging up the call, Luo Feng thought for a while and then spoke to the camera, “The military court will start tomorrow. Those interested can follow it!”
The following day, Master Gu Santong’s large team arrived with even more people, roughly over seven hundred in total. Of course, not all of them were disciples of Gu Santong. They were students from various archaeological universities and staff from museums, all archaeological personnel. There were also restrictions on the number of participants, with many in the industry having to pull strings to secure such opportunities. For instance, archaeological universities with good relationships could secure more spots for archaeological explorations. Those with weaker relationships naturally received fewer spots.
A few of Luo Feng’s former classmates also used their connections to ask for a few spots. But Luo Feng only allowed those with satisfactory archaeological skills to join. Treasures like these could be damaged by unprofessional handling. However, with so many people involved in the excavation project, Luo Feng knew that it wouldn’t take too long. Though fifteen to sixteen meters might seem a short distance, the excavation was not as simple as laying the foundation for a house. It was a complex process..
