Chapter 520 The sealed cave!
"Huh, I finally passed another level." Chen Yile breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Qingting and Ah Xiang also looked tired, but at least they were temporarily safe. They continued to move forward along the passage and encountered several more mechanisms.
Sometimes spikes would suddenly appear on the ground, and sometimes huge stone hammers would extend from both sides of the passage. Every time it was dangerous, and it was only thanks to Chen Yile's quick response and the cooperation of the three people that they were able to escape danger time and time again.
After groping forward for a while, they finally saw a huge stone door in front of them. There were some exquisite patterns carved on the stone door. Although it has gone through years, one can still see its former splendor.
Chen Yile was delighted and said, "It looks like we can get to where we are by passing through this door. Let's go quickly."
The three of them quickened their pace and walked towards the stone gate, but just when they reached the stone gate, the stone gate suddenly made a rumbling sound.
Then it slowly closed, and huge stone bars extended from the surrounding walls.
The space they were in was completely sealed off, without leaving a single gap, as if they were trapped in a desperate situation.
The live broadcast room suddenly became quiet, and the audience was too nervous to speak.
Chen Yile and the others looked at this enclosed space with despair and helplessness on their faces, not knowing what terrible thing would be waiting for them next.
Chen Yile didn't say anything, but just observed the cave carefully with a serious look.
The light in the cave was dim, and one could only barely see things by relying on the weak light coming through the cracks in the stone walls.
The surrounding stone walls are covered with various patterns, some of which seem to depict scenes of ancient people's sacrifices, with figures of various shapes and solemn expressions.
Some seem to record some strange mythical beasts, with their fangs and claws bared, as if trying to break free from the stone wall, exuding a mysterious and unsettling atmosphere.
The "creaking" sound seemed particularly harsh in this silent cave, as if an invisible hand was fiddling with everyone's nervous nerves again and again.
Chen Yile slowly looked up and saw a bronze coffin hanging above his head, firmly locked by eight thick iron chains. The iron chains looked rusty, but they still supported the coffin steadily, as if it had been hanging like this for thousands of years.
Qingting and A Xiang also raised their heads following Chen Yile's gaze, both of them looking surprised.
The dragonfly opened its eyes wide, its mouth slightly open, its face full of disbelief.
Ah Xiang subconsciously covered her mouth, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and curiosity.
The live broadcast room instantly exploded, and the barrage of comments rolled like a tide.
"Oh my god, this is too exciting, it's exactly like in the movie!"
"Brother Chen, be careful, this hanging coffin seems very strange!"
"My goodness, if this happened at the scene, I'd probably piss myself with fear. Brother Chen is really brave!"
Chen Yile frowned and said seriously, "With a hanging coffin of this level, I don't think the owner is a good person. We should all be careful and not wake the owner up casually."
Qingting swallowed, looked at Chen Yile and asked, "Do you think this is the main tomb chamber?"
Chen Yile nodded slightly and replied, "It's very likely, but I can't be sure. It's always better to be careful."
Qingting quickly nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Brother Yile, we will listen to you."
Chen Yile took a deep breath and continued, "Let's find the mechanism first. We can't be trapped here after we find the mechanism that opens the door."
So the three of them split up and started looking for the mechanism in the cave.
Chen Yile groped along the stone wall, inch by inch, his fingers lightly running across the patterns, his eyes focused, not missing any place where a mechanism might be hidden.
But half a day passed and no mechanism was found to open it.
Time passed little by little, and after about half an hour, the surrounding walls suddenly shook violently, making a loud "boom" sound.
The dust in the cave fell down, as if the whole cave was about to collapse.
Ah Xiang suddenly laughed excitedly and shouted, "I found it!"
Chen Yile and Qingting hurriedly ran towards Ah Xiang, only to see Ah Xiang standing in front of a stone wall. There was a protruding stone on the wall, which had obviously been pressed down by her.
At this moment, the corners of the walls were shaking violently. Following a series of "cracking" sounds, an area of the ground slowly sank, forming a space half a meter wide with flickering lights inside.
After the shaking stopped, the three of them gathered around curiously to take a look, and saw that the sunken area was filled with all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, including gold bowls, gold hairpins, jade ruyi, and strings of crystal clear pearl necklaces.
In this dim cave, there is an alluring luster, as if telling of the luxury of the past.
Qingting and Ah Xiang's eyes lit up immediately, and they couldn't help laughing, saying excitedly: "We've made a fortune, we've made a fortune!"
The audience in the live broadcast room were also excited, and the barrage of comments was scrolling wildly.
"Wow, so much gold, silver and jewelry, I'm going to make a fortune now!"
"I'm so envious! If I were there, I probably wouldn't be able to move, haha!"
"Brother Chen, this is a big profit, hurry up and take more!"
But Chen Yile's expression grew increasingly gloomy. He quickly shouted at Qingting and Ah Xiang, "Don't touch the things inside. Forget about these things for now. We still have to find a way out!"
When Qingting heard this, he frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Yile, there are so many treasures, what's wrong with taking some? We took such a big risk to come in, we can't go back empty-handed."
Ah Xiang also echoed, "That's right, everyone has a share, why don't you let us take it? It's not like you were the only one who discovered it."
Chen Yile stamped his feet anxiously and raised his voice, saying, "What do you know? We can't just take anything from this tomb casually. If we touch any taboos, we'll all be in trouble!"
Ah Xiang disagreed and snorted, "I think you just want to keep it all for yourself and scare us on purpose. I'm going to take it anyway."
As she spoke, Ah Xiang reached out and grabbed a pile of gold, silver and jewelry. Just as she picked up a pearl necklace, the bronze coffin hanging above her head suddenly shook violently, making a dull "buzzing" sound, as if something was roaring angrily inside the coffin.
Immediately afterwards, the coffin lid flew down with a "bang" and hit Ah Xiang with a powerful impact force.
Ah Xiang was so frightened that her face turned pale and she stood there, with no time to dodge.
At this critical moment, Chen Yile was quick-witted and quick-handed. He rushed over and pushed Ah Xiang to the side with force.
