To be able to enter the 19th tomb, one must pass through 18th tomb first. Although Lin Yuncong and the others came her in secret today so laborers were temporarily evacuated, the deputy leader of the archeological team and several senior specialists stayed at the 18th tomb for further excavation. Lin Yuncong even had to transfer the government workers[1] supervising the public excavation through connections.

Yet, no matter how classified their arrival was, Lin Yuncong and Qin Baichuan had to carry one or two personal bodyguards and stay at the 18th tomb to look out for them.

In this way, the total number of people who remained in the 18th tomb add up to no fewer than ten. Although the passageways are separated, a little commotion on the other side will be easily heard. In other words, for these group of people to arrive in the 19th tomb meant that they have easily dealt with the experts on the chamber before them. How can they be ordinary grave robbers?

Theft of national cultural relics is not a minor crime, but these people’s faces were nondescript at all! The more she thought about it, the more shocked she becomes. This group of people would not be afraid to kill people for their cause.

If she could come into such conclusion. then Qin Ge must have figured this out too.

Looking in his direction, she saw that he had already pushed Lin Siwei towards Qin Fei’s side and asked Xiao Xia to protect them together with Qin Baichuan and his wife. And then, he quickly walked to stand in front of Lin Yuncong.

The older leader saw through Qin Ge’s actions and warned, “Young man, don’t try to play any tricks if you don’t want your body to be filled with holes[2].”

Qin Ge slightly furrowed his eyebrows and did not say anything. But it was Lin Yuncong who could not help but speak. “Don’t you know who we are? If you can just put down your weapons here and leave immediately, we will not pursue this matter anymore.”

Qin Ge’s immediately reacted when a loud noise suddenly resounded in the air. Lin Yuncong roared in shock and saw the smoke on the ground as the gun was fired. But the younger leader beside the old man fired the second bullet. If it weren’t for Qin Ge’s fast reflexes that allowed him to pull Lin Yuncong away, he would be lying in his own blood by now.

Lin Yuncong’s wife was shocked but Lin Siwei rushed up to her father, “Dad!”

The old man looked at Dr. Ai Wi at first, then glanced back at Qin Ge. “Very good skills…”

He looked at Lin Yuncong coldly and said, “We naturally knew who you all are. But do you want to know who you are speaking with? We are the kind of people who are not afraid of death!”

Lin Yuncong was shocked, his face took on a ghastly expression.

Qin Ge suddenly laughed and said, “Ow, are you really not afraid of death?”

The old man’s eyes glistened and pointed his gun at him.

Lin Siwei trembled and snuggled into Qin Ge’s side. Hai Lan’s heart suddenly darkened. But he heard Qin Ge say: “I am also not afraid of death. So I might as well guess the old man’s thoughts. This king’s tomb is extremely deep and has never been excavated. Although there might be valuable treasure within, who knows what else is hidden in it? It’s not a bad thing to have someone walk ahead of you to test the way. That’s why you did not order for us to be killed immediately, didn’t you? Having someone exploring the way before you will make it safer.”

The old man let out a low laugh. Although his eyes were fierce, there was a tinge of acknowledgement in it.

Everyone was still traumatized in the aftermath of the gunfire. But after listening to Qin Ge’s deductions and the expressions of the old man, they all understood that Qin Ge was right. It’s a mixture of relief and anxiety.

The relief came from the fact that there would be no danger for the time being. But after entering the tomb of the Dongling Emperor, there is no certainty if they will still be safe. They are still trapped together, unable to escape.
