Ma Yue also walked over and replied, “That’s because they are very capable.”
After everyone retreated to a safe area, Luo Hui activated some triggering device. After the smell of gunpowder filled the air, a muffled sound suddenly came from underground, and the ground seemed to shake a few times.
Following that, a large amount of soil suddenly flew out from the ground, and a small amount even landed on everyone present.
Fatty touched his face and spat out the sand in his mouth. He ridiculed, “Hey, when you set up the explosives, can you be more accurate?”
Luo Hui turned his head and looked over. After laughing dryly a few times with a voice that sounded like sawing wood, he continued to set up more explosives.
The explosions blasted open a large tunnel with a two-meter diameter entrance on the slope. A large pile of soil and gravel blasted out from the explosion.
However, Luo Hui set up the explosives in a way that concentrated the explosion underground, so the sound and vibrations were relatively small. This allowed Yun Qin to have a new understanding of the art of grave robbing.
Fatty, Zhuang Sen, and the rest could not help but praise, “He’s good, really good.”
Once the surface of the tunnel was blasted open, it was up to Fatty and the others to clear the entrance tunnel.
Each of them took a shovel and entered the tunnel. Not long after, they heard Fatty shouting, “We found it! Come down!”
After taking out some unnecessary things from her bag, Yun Qin and the others climbed into the tunnel.
It was Yun Qin’s first time going through an entrance tunnel, which was only as wide as a manhole cover further down. Yun Qin touched the tunnel walls mixed with soil and stones. Everything felt novel.
The people in front already crawled to the stone slab that they just dug up, pulled out their tools, and prepared to move the stone slab away.
“Come, on three,” Zhuang Sen instructed the other two men after sticking three sticks-like objects into the cracks to use as leverage.
“One, two, three, now!” The three men gritted their teeth and slowly lifted the stone slab. A gloomy and cold aura assaulted their faces.
Grave robbers were extremely sensitive to this kind of smell. The moment they smelled it, everyone’s faces lit up with joy.
After they removed the stone slab, they saw a square-shaped space that only allowed one person to pass at a time. Ma Yue shone his flashlight inside and turned his head to say, “It’s a small tomb.”
After tying the rope, Zhuang Sen took the lead to enter the tomb to check out the situation inside the tomb.
Not long after Zhuang Sen went down cautiously, the cave lit up and everyone heard Zhuang Sen’s voice, “No problem down here!”
Since it was safe, everyone was going to enter the tomb. Ma Yue looked at everyone and said with a conflicted expression, “Wait, we have to leave someone outside just in case.”
But who should they leave? Ma Yue was in a dilemma.
Just as Ma Yue was about to speak to Yun Qin, who had no experience in grave robbing, Fatty stopped him. Fatty said, “If there are dirty things in the tomb, we have to rely on Master Yun. Our amateur ghost-catching skills are not good enough.”
Ma Yue nodded and then looked at the Luo siblings.
Luo Hui looked at him coldly, while Luo Ke was still expressionless. Ma Yue immediately gave up on the idea of leaving one of them outside.
Since he needed everyone, the only one left was Hu Min, who seemed to be of no use.
Seeing that she was targeted, Hu Min said unwillingly, “I have to go in. I won’t stay outside.”
Ma Yue immediately frowned. His impression of this woman was extremely bad.
Even Fatty, who was Hu Min’s friend, advised her, “Min Min, you’re a woman. You should stay outside. Don’t go down with us and suffer.”
“Are my skills inferior to yours? Without me, how many times have you died?” Hu Min’s expression was indignant.
“The person waiting outside is also very important. Whether or not we can come out safely is up to you.” Seeing that Fatty couldn’t persuade her, Ma Yue tried as well.
Hu Min’s whole purpose of coming here was to enter the tomb, so how could she give up right now? Therefore, all she said was “No”, and everyone could do nothing about it.
“Alright, even without someone waiting outside, we can still make it work.” Ma Yue sighed and ordered everyone to enter the tomb one by one.
After Hu Min, Fatty, and the Luo siblings entered, Yun Qin watched as Ma Yue tied a safety rope around her waist. She lowered her voice and asked, “Why are you so afraid of Luo Hui and Luo Ke?”
Ma Yue was stunned for a moment before replying, “You misunderstood. I treat everyone equally.”
After giving him a profound look, Yun Qin leaned in and entered the tomb.
After jumping down from the two-meter-high tunnel, Zhuang Sen lit a candle in the corner of the tomb, illuminating the tomb in a dark and eerie manner.
Looking at the bottles and jars on the ground, Yun Qin went forward and opened them, seeing that they were filled with copper coins, neatly stacked together.. It was a spectacular sight.
