Chapter 395: Sudden Appearance, Scared by Su Yun! (6)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“What? Hibiscus City’s filing officer?” This sudden news made Chen Ye frown. At this moment, he could not help but think of someone, but he quickly dismissed this thought. How was this possible? After a moment of silence, because Chen Ye really could not leave now and could not care about these things, he immediately said after a slight pause, “I’m not sure either. You just have to follow your rules.”
“Okay, got it.”
The other party quickly hung up, but Chen Ye looked at the phone and frowned in confusion. The person he thought of was naturally Su Yun, but from Chen Ye’s point of view, Su Yun should still be in his hometown in Fan City. This was Munan City. Why would Su Yun suddenly come all the way here?
“Captain Chen, there’s a problem with the deployment on the east side. We’ve discovered wild beasts. What should we do?”
At this moment, the police officer’s voice sounded, causing Chen Ye to temporarily forget this doubt. He quickly rushed over and made emergency arrangements at the scene.
Professor Sun and the others had been walking along this tomb for about 20 minutes. Other than the weak light that the flashlight could bring, the entire tomb was still pitch-black. However, everyone could sense that this tomb was still extending downwards.
At this moment, Professor Sun, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. Zhou Xiaoxiao looked ahead curiously with her flashlight and realized that they had actually walked to a dead end.
A stone wall blocked everyone’s path and sealed the entire tomb path. For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
“What’s going on? Did we find the wrong place? Is this not the entrance to Chi You’s Tomb at all?” Professor Cai frowned and walked to the stone wall. He carefully checked the gap between the stone wall and the wall before denying this thought. “No, this should be a living wall. Everyone, quickly look around and see if there’s any mechanism nearby that can activate this living wall.”
Mechanisms were not rare in ancient tombs. After all, all tomb owners did not want their tombs to be visited by others a hundred years later. Therefore, after hearing Professor Cai’s words, Professor Sun and the others quickly spread out and groped along the wall.
After searching around, all the walls were relatively smooth. There were no traces of any mechanisms at all. During this period of time, Professor Sun unintentionally looked up and suddenly realized that there were a few lampstands above his head.
This ancient lampstand was suspended from the top of the tomb path. The arrangement was irregular. It should have been used to light up this ancient tomb when it was built. However, the lampstand was very high. Even if the two of them combined, it would be difficult to touch it.
After all, this was the tomb of Chi You. According to the legends, although Chi You was not tall, he was still three to four meters tall. If this legend was true, then from the height of this tomb path, it could be judged that this should be the Chi Von’s Tomb
After all, this tomb should have been built by Chi You’s tribe. It was reasonable that no one could reach it now. However, the sudden stone wall this time disrupted everyone’s plan to continue exploring.
As they stayed in the tomb for longer and longer, the oxygen was so thin that there was almost not enough. Although no one wanted to give up at this juncture, the reality was right in front of him. Professor Sun had no choice but to make a difficult decision.
“It seems that the first attempt can only end in failure. The appearance of this stone wall blocks our way. If we really can’t enter by cracking the mechanism, we can only mobilize the explosives and blow up the stone wall.”
However, just as Professor Sun finished speaking, Professor Cai’s voice sounded anxiously. “I’m afraid that won’t do. I’ve already analyzed the soil here and roughly estimated the location of Chi You’s tomb.
“This location is very special. If we blast the explosives at such a depth, the amount of explosives that can blast open the stone wall will also be enough to cause the mountain to collapse to varying degrees.
“There had always been many villages around this mountain. In the early years, when it was not very standard, because of excessive logging, it had long caused a mudslide. After so many years of hard work, although this place had become a nature reserve, the terrain of the mountains and rivers was still very weak.
“We can only try our best to find as many clues as possible to crack this mechanism after we leave. Other than that, there are no other ways to enter the tomb.”
Professor Cai’s words were like a basin of cold water that extinguished everyone’s hope. After a moment of silence, Professor Sun could only sigh helplessly and give the order that he was unwilling to say. “Let’s go. Let’s return to the surface first. The oxygen was getting thinner. If we stayed any longer, the remaining oxygen might not be able to support us back to the ground. As for how to deal with this stone wall, we’ll discuss it after we go up.”
Although Professor Sun had already thought of it, the tomb of Chi You was definitely not something that could be entered just because he wanted to. They had encountered such a difficult problem not long after entering the tomb. Anyone would feel a little defeated.
Everyone helplessly returned the way they came and arrived at the ground. Chen Ye and Xu Kui, who had been waiting, ran over. Looking at the expressions on their faces, Xu Kui frowned, as if he had already realized that something unexpected had happened. “Professor Sun, why are you back so quickly?”
Professor Sun did not say anything, but the expression on his face said it all. Chen Jie, who was standing at the side, crossed her arms and sighed dejectedly. “We encountered a stone wall in the passageway deep into the tomb. It should be a mechanism set up previously, but we can’t find any clues to crack it..”
