Entering the Tomb

Hu Ming and Yingzi didn't wait too long in the cave for Hu Bayi and the other.

Just ten minutes later, they heard

"Get out of the way, Master Fatty is here!" As soon as he finished speaking, a plump figure slid down a rope.

Hu Ming knew it was Fatty without looking, and by this time Hu Bayi had also come down after Fatty landed.

Hu Bayi ignored Fatty beside him and went to Yingzi, asking, "Are you alright, Yingzi?"

Yingzi shook her head and replied, "I'm fine, Brother Hu."

Hu Ming said to Hu Bayi, "Old Hu, Yingzi is fine. She walked a few steps just now and has no major issues." Hearing this, Hu Bayi finally relaxed.

"My goodness, this is amazing!" Wang Fatty shone his flashlight around the tomb chamber, his mouth agape in amazement. "This is so exciting! Mingzi, Old Hu, is this a tomb?"

Fatty, who had never seen what a tomb chamber looked like in his life, naturally couldn't imagine that such a large burial site was hidden underground.

It was a world of its own! Fatty took an engineer shovel from his backpack and handed it to the excavator, then gave a black donkey hoof to Yingzi.

"Yingzi, take this!"

Yingzi looked at the dark object Fatty handed her, confused. "What is this thing?"

Hu Ming explained to Yingzi, "This is a black donkey hoof, used for warding off evil. In tombs, it can restrain zombies and prevent corpses from transforming! It's useful against some minor zombies, but if you encounter a big zombie, even a car full of black donkey hooves won't help."

Yingzi, half-understanding, put away the black donkey hoof, figuring it was useful.

Hu Ming continued to Yingzi, "Yingzi, take out the rabbit you caught."

Yingzi took out a live rabbit from a small burlap sack. "Brother Ming, I only caught one rabbit before I fell."

It turned out that after catching this rabbit, Yingzi had spotted another one and went to chase it with the dog, but accidentally fell into the cave. If Hu Ming hadn't noticed her small burlap sack at the edge of the cave just now, he wouldn't have thought Yingzi had a rabbit on her.

Hu Ming smiled when he heard Yingzi's words. "It's fine, one rabbit is enough."

Wang Fatty asked Hu Ming, "Mingzi, what do we need the rabbit for?"

Hu Bayi glanced at him and answered for Hu Ming, "Of course, it's to help scout the path. Otherwise, Fatty, you can help scout the path."

Fatty shook his head like a rattle. He didn't dare to scout the path; he might lose his life.

Anyone with experience knew that when entering ancient tombs, there was almost always poisonous gas. If one entered rashly and an accident occurred, those who went in would be equivalent to sending themselves to their deaths.

Hu Ming saw this and smiled. "Actually, if you don't mind dying from poisoning, you can go in and scout the path for us. That would be good too."

Wang Fatty couldn't help but get angry. "Scout the path? I'm not going! Mingzi, you and Old Hu, you're too unfair, wanting me, Fatty, to test the poison? That's too cruel!"

Hu Ming smiled. Fortunately, Yingzi had caught a rabbit, otherwise they would have had to go catch one.

Hu Ming signaled Fatty to take out all the things they had brought. Everything was prepared.

"Hey, Mingzi, you have everything so complete. Did you and Fatty plan this all along?" Seeing all the well-prepared items, Hu Bayi couldn't help but wonder.

Hu Ming smiled. "Old Hu, why don't you take charge of this? You have some experience."

"Alright," Since things had come to this, it was pointless for Hu Bayi to object further, so he agreed.

Hu Bayi found a thin rope, tied it to the leg of the wild rabbit Yingzi had caught, and then quickly put it into the tomb passage.

A moment later...

"How is it?" Fatty asked Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi looked at the slightly listless wild rabbit and said, "The rabbit seems listless, and the air inside doesn't seem good. Let's wait a while. The entrance to this cave was covered up, so the air isn't circulating. Let's rest here for a bit."

"Okay, we'll wait a bit." Not long after, when the rabbit had recovered, Hu Bayi checked the air in the tomb passage again. This time, he released the same rabbit that had recovered. The wild rabbit no longer showed signs of listlessness. Hu Bayi confirmed that the air was basically fine.

In ten minutes, they didn't hear any sounds of mechanisms or arrows being triggered. It seemed safe.

After confirming there were no dangers, Hu Bayi released the rabbit, and they followed it forward. However, the released rabbit didn't run fast, only hopping forward step by step. Hu Ming guessed it was probably worn out from being thrown and pulled back by Hu Bayi several times.

At this moment, Fatty handed the flashlight to Hu Bayi. "Old Hu, the flashlight!"

"Okay!" Hu Bayi took the flashlight and scanned all directions of the tomb passage.

Hu Bayi looked at the tomb passage and asked Hu Ming beside him, "Mingzi, did you notice anything special?"

Hu Ming replied, "Special? Nothing really special. If I had to say something special, it's the feeling I got when we first came in. I don't think it should be this simple here. Don't forget, we looked at the feng shui layout here last night. This tomb is at least a General's tomb. Do you think a General's tomb would be simple?"

"Old Hu, where's the rabbit?" At this moment, Fatty suddenly noticed that the rabbit Hu Bayi had thrown in earlier was gone.

"Damn, this is strange," Fatty said, about to walk deeper into the tomb passage to look for any trace of the rabbit.

"Fatty, don't move yet! Everyone, don't move!" Hu Ming suddenly stopped everyone.

Hu Bayi frowned at this. He took out a round water flask and rolled it forward. It suddenly tipped over and disappeared in a certain spot.

"Damn it, there really is a mechanism!" Seeing this scene, Fatty's face was a picture of astonishment.

Just now, Fatty had been thinking of stepping there...

At this moment, looking at the scene unfolding before them, Fatty's face was a picture of astonishment.

Hu Bayi said solemnly, "Fatty, be careful. This is no joke."

Wang Fatty nodded. Hu Bayi still felt a bit uneasy, as he knew Fatty's nature all too well. So, he turned to Hu Ming and Yingzi and said, "Yingzi, Mingzi, you two keep an eye on Fatty. Don't let him touch anything he shouldn't."

Hu Ming and Yingzi both smiled and nodded at this. Fatty, however, looked displeased and said, "What's wrong? You don't trust me anymore? Are we still brothers?"

Hu Ming chuckled at this. "My dear Fatty, you almost died twice today, you know?"

"This morning's... that..."

Wang Fatty was rendered speechless by this.

Hu Bayi patted his shoulder and continued to cautiously move forward.
