However, things were not as easy as they imagined.
This door can't be opened at all.
Although Xu Xin's strength is not as good as Ma Hongwei and Zeng Tao, he uses potions to strengthen himself every day.
But this door cannot be opened at all.
Not even a little bit.
If it required greater force to push it open, he should be able to at least push it a little bit, but now he is completely unable to push it open.
"This door should be opened by a mechanism." Xu Xin frowned.
"Machine...Machine?" Lou Feier rolled her eyes slightly, then looked around and lamented, "No way..."
The ground is covered with bugs, so it is not easy to find the mechanism.
She really didn't want to fiddle with these bugs anymore...
"Coco, can you feel where the mechanism is?" Xu Xin turned his head and asked Coco who was lying on his shoulder.
"Hmm." Coco shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.
“Keke doesn’t know…” Lou Feier felt even more tired.
"Then let's just kill all these bugs." Xu Xin said after looking around.
"Kill him? What are you going to do...ah." Before Lou Feier could finish her words, she saw Xu Xin taking out a mutant vine from his backpack and suddenly asked, "You want to light a fire?"
If it's okay outside, it's naturally okay down here too.
It may take some time to kill these insects, after all, crawling insects are not as fast as flying insects.
But they didn't need to clear the area, as long as the bugs weren't so dense.
Xu Xin walked to the center of the main pit site and ignited the mutant vines.
The mutated vines instantly ignited a fire nearly three meters high and instantly reached above Xu Xin's head.
"Wow, the fire is burning so fiercely!" Lou Feier exclaimed.
Xu Xin also subconsciously took two steps back.
The fire on the ground has never been so fierce!
Why is the fire underground burning so fiercely
The light instantly illuminated the entire underground pit.
Immediately, all the insects in the pit were attracted by the flames and rushed towards them!
They didn't even care about the insect repellent on Xu Xin and Lou Feier, and gathered towards the fire!
"Ah! Xu Xin! Xu Xin, the bugs are crawling onto me!" Lou Feier, who had never shown any fear in fighting against the giant mutant bugs as big as vehicles underground, now screamed in fear because of this group of small bugs.
She took out the spray and sprayed it all around.
However, nothing can stop these insects from pursuing light.
“Bing!” Coco saw that the bug was about to crawl onto Xu Xin, so she also cried out, “Bing ing ing!”
Xu Xin immediately embraced Lou Feier, kicked off his feet, jumped on the spot, and jumped onto the top of the statue.
At this time, the insects on the sculptures had been attracted away by the light, and the insects on the ground no longer crawled up, so this place was temporarily safe.
Lou Feier kicked and slapped away the bugs that had already crawled onto her shoes and legs, then sat directly on the statue, complaining in a trembling voice: "Oh my God, I'm most afraid of these little creatures. If they crawl into my clothes, I'll really want to die..."
Not only her, but even Xu Xin couldn't accept that kind of scene.
"Okay, now it's safe, let's take a look around."
"Hmm..." Lou Feier stood up and looked around.
The insects were swarming towards the campfire at their fastest speed.
The bonfire started by the mutant vines was not afraid of the insect swarm at all. The insect swarm that jumped into the fire not only failed to stop the flames, but made it burn even more fiercely!
The flames shot up five or six meters into the air, illuminating the entire underground pit even brighter!
On the ground around the human-faced statue, waves of insects swarmed towards the campfire, but waves of insects also swarmed from farther away.
However, the swarm of insects that had originally covered the stone walls of the pit for more than ten meters were now slowly descending.
It won't be long before the stone wall is completely exposed.
"Look around carefully!"
"Oh, okay!"
…
Zeng Tao felt very bored.
She talks a lot, but Jin Yue talks very little and hardly ever speaks.
She just accidentally asked Jin Yue, "Hey, do you have any special experience since coming to this world? Tell me about it."
Then she realized that she had said the wrong thing and she remained silent.
Jin Yue’s special experience is so special.
What is she asking
The atmosphere was very awkward for a while.
In order to hide her embarrassment, she immediately looked around the low building, even checking the corners and cracks in the stones.
But there is really nothing in this stone building.
This is a very, very simple stone house. There is not even any sign of having been used. It seems as if it was like this when it was first built.
"What on earth is this place used for..." Zeng Tao was somewhat speechless, "Is this an underground wonder built by the ancient emperor of this world? Just for the sake of beauty? Who on earth has so much free time to build a wonder underground? Are they afraid that others will see it?"
Hearing Zeng Tao's complaints, Jin Yue's eyes suddenly moved.
"Are you afraid of being seen by others in this magnificent building underground?" she muttered to herself.
"Yes!" Zeng Tao went to the door again and listened to the insects outside. "Hey, those insects haven't left yet... How long do we have to wait..."
Jin Yue looked at the stone gate, thinking about everything.
"You said... Could this underground world be someone's... tomb?" Jin Yue suddenly asked.
"Ah?" Zeng Tao turned around and looked at her, "What... tomb?"
"Yes, the mausoleum." Jin Yue nodded.
"...Haha, no way?" Zeng Tao suddenly felt a little creepy, "Don't scare me, aren't tombs all underground pits? Who would turn a tomb into an underground city... What's the point of this?"
"No, in ancient my country, although this kind of thing was not common, it did exist." Jin Yue thought, "The Emperor's Tomb."
"The... the Emperor's Tomb?" Zeng Tao's eyes widened.
"The most famous one among them is probably... the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor."
The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is the tomb of the first emperor in Chinese history. It is also the first large-scale and well-designed imperial mausoleum in Chinese history.
This mausoleum covers an area of more than 50 square kilometers, which is more than 80,000 acres and 50 million square meters. The area is so huge that it is even larger than the area of a county in many cities today, and more than 100 times the size of the Vatican!
According to historical records, various palaces were built in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, displaying many rare treasures.
Around the imperial mausoleum, there are a large number of burial pits and tombs of different shapes and contents. More than 400 have been discovered, including the well-known Terracotta Warriors.
The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is one of the largest, most peculiarly structured and most richly endowed imperial tombs on Earth. Compared with the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, the area of the underground city they saw now pales in comparison.
Of course, the area here is also very large.
The distance from the edge to the palace in the center is estimated to be close to two kilometers. In other words, the length of one side of this square underground area is about four kilometers, and the estimated area is about fifteen or sixteen square kilometers.
It’s also very big.
Moreover, this is a large space located underground. If we really talk about the difficulty of construction, I am afraid that modern people may not be able to build such a stable underground space with a height of dozens of meters.
The whole place is made of stone slabs, without using any metal.
After listening to Jin Yue's explanation, Zeng Tao was a little speechless. She swallowed and said, "No way... This is not really an underground mausoleum, is it? Hearing what you said, it seems really possible! The things here have never been used. It seems that they were buried deep underground after they were built and never saw the light of day again... And this very decent city..."
She became more and more excited as she spoke, and the slight fear she had about the underground mausoleum disappeared without a trace: "Look at the scale of this city. Does it restore the capital of an ancient empire in this world? Then the owner of this mausoleum must be a super important person! Such an important person must have a lot of burial objects! If we can find it..."
"That's definitely a fortune! There must be a lot of good stuff!" Zeng Tao was no longer as irritable and unmotivated as before, but her eyes lit up, "The palace in the middle! That stone palace must have good stuff!"
"Don't get excited, this is just my guess." Jin Yue poured cold water on her, "It has not been confirmed that this is an underground mausoleum, it just looks a bit like it. Besides, what we should consider now is the group of insects outside."
But Zeng Tao was already in the mood. She walked around the room and said, "Let's go to the palace quickly! Qin Fu might be here too. He might already be in the palace! If we go too late, he might have already explored the whole palace!"
"... Did you listen to what I said..." Jin Yue looked at her helplessly, "We can't get out now. And even if we can get through, you can't run around. If this is really a mausoleum, there must be a mechanism to prevent tomb robbers in the future. Exploring it is not an easy task and it may be life-threatening."
"Hmm... Indeed." Zeng Tao's mind also cooled down, and then he sighed, "Hey, if this is really a tomb, then the owner of this tomb must be a very powerful person!"
…
Xu Xin and Lou Fei'er jumped down from the human-faced statue.
There are no more insects around the statue.
The few remaining insects in the pit had basically gathered around the campfire and would soon be completely wiped out.
"These bugs are too easy to deal with." Lou Feier glanced at the campfire and said, "Burn them all in one fire?"
"I don't know who was so scared that he screamed and his legs went weak." Xu Xin glanced at her and smiled.
"I'm just afraid of insects, what's wrong with that!" Lou Feier said confidently.
"Okay, look around quickly."
"Oh, okay, lend me Coco!" Lou Feier took Coco from Xu Xin's shoulders and went to look around.
Xu Xin looked at the human-faced statue that he had already explored.
This one has his face carved into it.
He still felt that the focus should be on this statue.
The other buildings around are already in ruins, only this statue is still intact, and it is also the most special existence here.
And now, in the light of the fire, its face became clearer.
"… "
Xu Xin took a deep breath.
Seeing his own image carved into such a large statue, with the pair of open eyes staring straight at him, really made him feel creepy.
In particular, he didn't know why there was a statue of him underground!
This is too outrageous!
"Huh?" As he was inspecting the statue, his eyes were dazzled by a spot of light on the statue under the light of the fire.
He took a half step back, and the light flickered again.
It's a reflection.
The firelight was reflected back by something unknown.
That is…
earring
The position of the earrings!
Xu Xin immediately stepped forward and carefully examined the huge earrings.
Because the statue's head is huge, the earrings are also very large, about the thickness of his forearm, and the style is a bit strange.
He had previously examined this earring carefully and did not find anything unusual at the time.
That light comes from...
The sound comes from the inside of the earring, near the neck!
He immediately stretched his head and looked inside.
Then his eyes opened slightly.
Nothing could be seen in the darkness, but in the light of the fire, it was discovered that there was a fingernail-sized piece of transparent colored glaze on the inside of the earring!
Xu Xin raised his hand to that position and tried to touch and press it.
But it didn't work.
There's still no introduction triggered.
Not a button
but…
There must be something wrong with this earring.
He grabbed the earring and pulled it down hard.
It won't move. I've tried this before.
He thought about it, then pushed, pulled and pressed in various directions, but it was no use.
He tried to spin again.
"Card."
There was a slight sound coming from the surroundings.
To his great surprise, the earring in his hand moved slightly.
"feasible!"
He immediately increased his strength and began to turn the earring, which was basically a strip, with all his might.
The upper part of the earring remained motionless, but the lower part slowly turned, forming a thin gap in the middle.
"Boom... Boom..."
The ground in the pit began to vibrate as Xu Xin turned!
"Hmm? Hmm!"
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Lou Feier immediately picked up Coco, who was running around on the ground, and quickly returned to Xu Xin.
At this time, the earrings in Xu Xin's hand also turned to the end.
"boom!"
A loud bang came from the direction of the stone door they had discovered earlier.
The sound came from inside the stone door, but the door was not open.
Lou Feier immediately ran over and pushed the stone door hard, then turned around and shook her head, "It still doesn't work."
Xu Xin frowned and let go of the earrings in his hand.
"Boom... Boom..."
The ground began to shake again, and the earrings slowly turned back to their original direction.
…and there’s another one on the other side!
Xu Xin came to another earring and turned it.
“Boom… Boom…!”
The ground shook even more violently!
It is true!
Both earrings should be rotated, but...
The other will return to its place, it takes two people!
"Come here, let's turn this earring together." Xu Xin said to Lou Feier who was still looking at him at the door.
"Oh, here it comes!"
Lou Feier immediately ran to the other earring and started turning it, imitating Xu Xin's behavior.
“Boom…! Boom…!”
The ground began to shake violently.
"Card… "
The sound came from the direction of the stone gate. The two looked over there and saw that the heavy stone gate was slowly opening as they turned the earrings in their hands.
"It's open!" Lou Feier said happily.
Finally, the earrings in the hands of the two people reached the end.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, accompanied by the dust falling off the stone door, the stone door opened completely!
Xu Xin tried to let go.
"Boom..."
The earrings were slowly rotating back, and the stone door was slowly closing.
He immediately grabbed the earring and frowned.
"It will close if we let go." Lou Feier also discovered the clue. "After we let go, the door will slowly close. We can rush in!"
Xu Xin nodded: "The door closed as soon as I rushed in, can I still get out?"
"this… "
However, the door was open, so it was impossible not to go in.
Moreover, he must figure out the matter of this stone statue!
Xu Xin raised his head and looked above the pit.
The entrance at the top of the pit is very small, but it is very large at the bottom. The walls are inclined outward, with the slope even exceeding 90 degrees.
Therefore, if someone jumps in, it is basically impossible for him to get out unless his jumping ability is enhanced like his.
Moreover, the temperature in this cave is over 40 degrees Celsius. When the bonfire is lit, the temperature exceeds 50 degrees Celsius, which is unbearable for normal people.
He also gave up the idea of asking someone to come and help watch over them.
Forget it, things will work out when the time comes!
"I'll count to three, two, one, and then we'll all let go and rush in!"
"good!"
"Bing!"
"three."
"two,"
"one!"
"rush!"
The two men let go of each other at the same time, and with the ground shaking, they quickly rushed towards the stone gate twenty meters away, and rushed in before the stone gate closed!
“Come in!”
"boom!"
The two looked back.
The stone door behind him was completely closed.
It seems that they now have only one way to go, which is to move forward.
