They were mercenaries after all, and this place was indeed very safe, so this team seemed a little lazy. Some squatted on the ground and smoked cigars, while others stood by the tree and fiddled with daggers.
Everyone’s faces were filled with insufferable arrogance. What was even more interesting was that in this team of 100 people, they were actually standing in separate teams. Although they did not talk to each other, it was obvious from their eyes that they were wary of each other and did not completely trust each other.
This was also a habit among mercenaries. Everyone was someone who used money to buy their lives. There was no loyalty, let alone comradeship.
Today, everyone could fight together because of one operation. Tomorrow, perhaps in another operation, yesterday’s comrades would become targets.
However, these people seemed to be very afraid of the mercenary called the Divine Gun. To be precise, they were afraid of the force behind Divine Gun the Mysterious Research Institute!
“Today’s mission is very simple. Enter the ancient tomb and take away everything you can, especially the corpse of the tomb owner! There’s something I have to say in advance. If anyone dares to hide it, it’s best to consider if they can withstand our methods.” After saying such a simple sentence, Divine Gun waved his hand and shouted in a low voice, “Let’s go. The entrance to the tomb is one kilometer away from us. Hurry up!”
The mercenaries walked forward without saying a word. Divine Gun stood at the side and looked at them coldly. Another mercenary, who had been standing with Divine Gun, asked softly, “Divine Gun, why didn’t the white-robed men use their own people? Why did they find so many outsiders?”
Divine Gun immediately glared at him and lowered his voice. “Boss and the man in white naturally have their own thoughts. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. If you know too much, you won’t even know how you died.”
“Yes.”
The conversation between the two was very short, and the mercenaries passing by did not hear it clearly at all. They quickly walked forward, and soon, they could vaguely see the jade door that shone under the sunlight. They did not know that at this moment, a shadow was silently following them. It had been observing their movements and looking for an opportunity to attack.
This shadow was undoubtedly Xu Jiajia.
Xu Jiajia was hiding in the dark. When she saw the huge jade door, surprise flashed across her eyes. She did not expect this entrance to be so spectacular. “The ancestor’s tomb of ancient times was already on such a scale?”
Under the sunlight, this jade door kept refracting light. It even had a translucent feeling and could vaguely see the situation behind through this jade door. It seemed to be a pitch-black tomb, and sunlight could not enter. But Xu Jiajia could vaguely see a humanoid shadow behind this jade door.
This humanoid black shadow was sitting motionless at the entrance of the tomb behind the jade door. She just could not see it clearly through the jade door. Although it was a little transparent under the sunlight, it was only like frosted glass. She could not see the exact situation clearly, so she was guessing what it was.
The mercenaries who approached clearly realized this as well. They raised their guns warily and aimed at the jade door.
“What’s that?”
“It looks like a human figure.”
“But this is an ancient tomb. Why is there someone inside?”
“Maybe it’s someone from the past who died in the ancient tomb. Didn’t they say that there were tomb keepers in the ancient times of the east? This might be it.”
“Do you know whose tomb this is?”
“I don’t know, but not far from here is the border of the Eastern Kingdom. Are we really going to do this here?”
The mercenaries discussed softly. They were very curious about the figure reflected on the jade door.
At the same time, in the military’s temporary command room.
Through the image transmitted by the military drone in the air, Feng Shaoyu and the others had already seen the 100 mercenaries and gathered. With so many mercenaries mobilizing at the same time, although they did not cross the border, Feng Shaoyu was also worried.
“The situation is more complicated than we imagined. If these mercenaries really enter the ancient tomb through this entrance, it will be troublesome. It was very likely that the cultural relics in the tomb would also be destroyed. Even if we send a team into the tomb, once the two sides exchange fire, the tomb path will definitely collapse. Even this Cangluan Mountain will collapse again. The village at the foot of the mountain can’t be moved in time at all. No matter what, we will suffer a huge loss.” Feng Shaoyu said solemnly. At this moment, the pressure on his shoulders was unimaginable to ordinary people.
The mercenaries had already gathered at the entrance of the tomb outside the realm. Soon, they would definitely try to open the jade door and take action. If they still could not think of a suitable solution before that, they would really fall into a passive state.
They definitely had to fight, but what about Chi You’s ancient tomb? What about the natural disaster of the collapse? However, Xu Kui, who was staring at the screen, frowned slightly. Then, he pointed at the screen and said, “Since they’ve already arrived at the entrance of the main tomb, why did they stop?”
This was indeed strange. The mercenary was only a few hundred meters away from the entrance of the main tomb, but they seemed to be very afraid and slowed down..
