Lin Yi, Wu Xie, Xiao Ge, Uncle San, Pan Zi, A Kui, and others held the map and asked an old man who was familiar with the terrain here.
Then, under the old man's guidance, they headed towards the location marked on the map.
"What is that?"
While they were on their way, the old man looked at the bushes on the side and was startled.
Everyone turned to look and saw something flashing in the grass. When they approached and took a closer look, it turned out to be a mobile phone.
The phone seemed to have been dropped not long ago, with blood on it. Uncle San picked it up and said, "It looks like we're not the only ones here. Someone seems to be injured. This phone definitely didn't fall from the sky."
As he spoke, he opened the phone's contact list. There were only a few numbers, all international, with no other information.
Uncle San continued, "Forget about them, let's focus on getting to our destination."
Everyone nodded. There were no clues around, so they continued on their way.
Lin Yi asked the old man, "Has anyone else entered this forest recently besides us?"
The old man chuckled, "Two weeks ago, a group of about ten people came in and haven't come out yet. This place is dangerous, gentlemen, it's not too late to turn back."
"What kind of danger?" Da Kui snorted and started flattering Lin Yi, "Tell you what, with our young master here, no ghosts or monsters can stand a chance."
Lin Yi smiled helplessly. Da Kui was quite cute, just a bit too timid for his size!
The old man laughed dryly and said no more.
The group continued on their way. Around 4 PM, they finally reached their destination and let the old man go. The old man, relieved to have escaped, ran off happily.
Everyone looked around the area. There were about a dozen almost intact military tents. These tents were of very good quality. Although the tops were covered with rotten leaves, the insides were still very dry and clean.
The tents contained many daily necessities and scattered equipment.
There was even a generator and several cans of gasoline, wrapped in oilcloth, but most of the parts were badly decayed.
After searching, they found that all the labels had been torn off, even from the tents and their backpacks. It seemed these people didn't want others to know their origins.
They started a fire in the camp and had a simple dinner.
While eating, Lin Yi thought about the upcoming tomb exploration. This was going to be his first night broadcast! He usually streamed from 8 AM to 8 PM, and this was his first night stream!
Xiao Ge ate while looking at the map. He pointed to a spot and said calmly, "We are here."
Everyone looked over. Xiao Ge continued, "This is the sacrificial site. Below should be the sacrificial platform, and the burial chamber is likely beneath it."
Uncle San squatted down, picked up a handful of soil, and sniffed it. He shook his head, took a few steps, and picked up another handful, saying, "It's buried too deep. We need to dig a few shovels to check."
A Kui, Pan Zi, and Uncle San started to work, connecting the threaded steel pipes and attaching the shovel heads.
Uncle San stomped a few marks on the ground, indicating where to dig.
Da Kui secured the shovel head and started digging with a short-handled hammer. Uncle San placed his hand on the steel pipe to feel the situation below. After 13 strikes, Uncle San suddenly said, "Got it!"
He then pulled the shovel up section by section, and on the last pull, a clump of soil came up.
Everyone was shocked. The soil was as if it had been soaked in blood, dripping with a blood-like liquid.
Uncle San sniffed it and frowned. Since the soil contained blood, the tomb below must be extraordinary.
Everyone looked at Uncle San, the professional tomb raider.
Uncle San lit a cigarette, thought for a moment, and said, "No matter what, let's dig it open first."
Pan Zi and Da Kui started digging. After a few more shovels, Da Kui handed the shovel heads to Uncle San, who sniffed each one and used a mud knife to connect the shovel holes.
In a short while, the rough outline of the ancient tomb was drawn on the ground.
Locating the tomb was a basic skill for tomb raiders. Generally, the shape above ground indicated the shape of the tomb below.
Uncle San measured with his fingers and finally determined the approximate location of the coffin. He said, "Below is a brick ceiling. My shovel can't penetrate it, so I can only estimate the position based on experience. This tomb is very strange. I don't know where the bricks are thinner, so I'll start from the back wall according to Song dynasty tomb techniques. If it doesn't work, we'll have to start over, so we need to work quickly."
A Kui and Pan Zi nodded. They were experienced and, together with Uncle San, the three of them used their whirlwind shovels to dig down about seven or eight meters.
After a while, Da Kui called from below, "Done."
Da Kui had enlarged the bottom of the tunnel and cleared a large brick wall. They turned on their mining lamps and descended inside.
Xiao Ge saw A Kui tapping the bricks and quickly stopped him, saying calmly, "Don't touch anything."
He then extended two fingers and ran them along the brick joints, stopping after a long time. He said, "There's an anti-theft layer inside. When moving the bricks, you must pull them out, not push them in, and definitely don't smash them!"
Pan Zi touched the wall and said, "How is that possible? There's not even a crack. How can we pull the bricks out?"
Lin Yi smiled and said, "The wall is filled with strong acid used in alchemy. If the wall breaks, the acid will instantly pour over us, burning us to the bone."
Xiao Ge looked at Lin Yi with surprise, not expecting him to figure that out. Without a word, he touched a brick and suddenly exerted force, pulling it out of the wall with just two fingers.
Everyone was shocked.
The brick wall was incredibly solid. Pulling a brick out with just two fingers required immense strength. These fingers were truly extraordinary.
Xiao Ge took a syringe needle and a plastic tube from his bag, connected the tube to the needle, and placed the other end in a deep pit.
Pan Zi lit a fire and heated the needle. Xiao Ge carefully inserted it into the brick wall, and immediately, red acid flowed from the tube into the pit.
After the acid was drained, they started moving the bricks, creating a hole large enough for a person to pass through.
Looking at the dark hole, Lin Yi thought, "This is it. I'm about to become a part-time tomb raider!"
In the live stream, the viewers who had been watching all day were buzzing:
"Host, do you really need to make it so realistic? Watching you walk in the mountains all day is exhausting!"
"Exactly! You don't need to walk so far for a scene, right? Aren't you tired?"
"Finally, after a day of watching the forest, we're here!"
"Host, are you really tomb raiders? Your digging skills are so professional!"
"Host, you're not acting, you're definitely tomb raiders! I've already called the police!"
"Call the police, my ass! You're just a joke! But, host, this is too realistic! It's like the real thing!"
"Exactly, and Xiao Ge, that actor, his hands are definitely those of a single man!"
"Don't insult my idol Xiao Ge!"
"Whoever insults my idol, I'll kill your whole family!"
"A bunch of fangirls, can you focus on the live stream?"
