Wu Yu Saves the World

Chapter 166: Grave Robbers' Chronicles Qi Yu 48

Qi Yu and others groped forward cautiously, their hearts full of anticipation and nervousness, but they were soon disappointed because there was a dead end ahead.

Upon seeing this, Fatty Wang took out explosives from his backpack without saying a word, preparing to blast the way forward, but was quickly stopped by Qi Yu.

Zhang Qiling, whose abilities had been greatly enhanced, used his keen observation to notice an imperceptible mechanism hidden in the wall.

He reached out and pressed the mechanism without hesitation, but something unexpected happened.

With a dull sound, their feet suddenly left their mark and they fell into a mysterious, eerie and terrifying place.

The place is filled with densely packed bronze bells and creepy human skulls.

Fatty Wang opened his eyes wide, his mouth wide open in surprise. He turned around and asked Zhang Qiling if he had ever seen such a strange scene.

Zhang Qiling did not answer, but just stared at everything around him silently.

Upon seeing this, Fatty Wang cleverly guessed that this might be a sacred place used by the She people for worship.

At this moment, Grasshopper from Tai Er's team appeared out of nowhere. He seemed to have a strong interest in the hanging bells. He walked straight towards them and wanted to pick a few to take away.

Fatty Wang, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, quickly stepped in to stop him and warned Grasshopper not to touch those things.

Zhang Qiling stared at the bells, and a scene he had experienced with Wu Xie and Qi Yu gradually emerged in his mind.

At that time, they had also seen similar bells, and these bells appeared on the body of the extremely ferocious Corpse Beetle King.

Qi Yu told everyone at the time that these bells had a long history, dating back to before the Warring States Period, and their value was enough to be worth several human lives.

Just when Grasshopper was surprised to find that the priest was holding a mysterious treasure box in his hand, Fatty Wang, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, snatched the treasure box in an instant and opened it without hesitation.

Zhang Qiling shouted angrily: "Don't move!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. At this moment, all the hanging bells began to shake violently, making a shrill sound.

Then, the talisman paper on Fatty Wang's body suddenly burned up in the air. His expression became extremely strange, as if he was controlled by some evil force, and his behavior was completely out of normal.

The katydid even made a series of strange movements and made puzzling noises from time to time.

Qi Yu and Zhang Qiling, who were not affected, quickly came to Fatty Wang.

At this time, Fatty Wang held the pistol tightly in both hands, facing the unknown monster in front of him, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing continuously.

Then, he actually pushed the bullet into the chamber of the gun and slowly put the muzzle into his open mouth.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, at the critical moment, Qi Yu threw out a talisman to immobilize Fatty Wang.

Zhang Qiling quickly walked up to Fatty Wang, took the pistol from his hand, and slapped a Mingxin Talisman on him.

After Qi Yu removed the immobilization effect on Fatty Wang, Fatty Wang slowly came back to his senses.

However, Guagua from Tai Er's team lost control and fell into the abyss at this moment.

On the other side, Master Liang was surprised to find that in a hidden corner, there was a piece of bronze with the mysterious totem of the She people, a two-bodied snake, carved on its surface.

He stared at the exquisite pattern, speculating secretly in his mind.

It seems that the She people who came here regarded it as a sacred object, and expressed their respect and worship for it by carving totems.

Wu Xie came over curiously and asked anxiously.

"Master Liang, with your keen eyesight, can you determine the specific era represented by this totem?"

Master Liang smiled and gestured for them to observe the color of the bronze carefully, then said with confidence.

"From what I can see, this should be a kind of tin bronze. Based on its characteristics, it is very likely from the Western Zhou Dynasty."

Wu Xie couldn't help but feel puzzled and continued to ask.

"Then, based on the craftsmanship level of the Western Zhou Dynasty, was it really possible to cast such a magnificent bronze tree?"

Lao Yang also expressed doubt after hearing this, thinking that it seemed a little unbelievable.

Faced with their questions, Master Liang smiled slightly and decided to give them a good history lesson.

He explained in detail.

"During the Western Zhou Dynasty, people had mastered advanced casting techniques, especially in the production of ceramic molds. As long as they were able to make fine ceramic molds, it would be entirely possible to cast such a huge and exquisite bronze tree."

Master Liang then elaborated on some knowledge and techniques about ancient bronze casting.

After hearing this, Lao Yang still didn't believe it and argued with Master Liang.

Wu Xie didn't pay attention to the heated argument between the two, but was concentrating on observing everything around him.

After a long time, he asked Master Liang in confusion.

"Boss Li swore that this ancient tomb contained treasures more precious and rare than those in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, but why haven't we seen any treasures so far?"

Master Liang gazed thoughtfully at the huge bronze tree in front of him, firmly believing that this was the priceless treasure that everyone had been searching for.

Wu Xie, holding a torch, walked forward without hesitation, and Lao Yang followed closely behind him.

Wu Xie pondered in his heart, he knew very well that Lao Yang should know the secret hidden behind this bronze tree.

So he stopped, turned around, stared at Lao Yang, and asked.

"What secrets does the bronze tree hold?"

At this moment, Master Liang suddenly let out a terrified scream, breaking the originally tense atmosphere.

He was surprised to find a person hanging above him. Wu Xie made a quick decision to rescue the person first and then make other plans.

The passage was pitch black, with only the light of the flashlight moving back and forth on the ground or walls.

Zhang Qiling stood quietly in front, staring sharply in a certain direction in the darkness.

Suddenly, he turned around and said to Fatty Wang behind him: "There is an entrance ahead."

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang immediately frowned and complained.

"Brother, why didn't you tell us earlier? We wasted so much time!"

Zhang Qiling smiled slightly and explained: "I just remembered it just now."

After saying that, he walked to a huge tripod and reached out to gently turn it.

As the cauldron slowly moved, a hidden entrance gradually revealed itself.

Qi Yu and Zhang Qiling looked at each other, then walked in cautiously through the entrance.

Seeing this, Fatty Wang followed.

At the same time, Wu Xie and others were standing in another place.

They had just put down a dead body, and after a closer look, they saw that the man had not been dead for long. Judging from his clothes, he was a mercenary. This made Wu Xie think of the person that Jude Kao had found.

Wu Xie pondered for a moment and speculated.

"It seems that we have already gone deep into the cemetery. But strangely, apart from the bronze tree, there is no other special discovery. Perhaps the tomb owner placed his coffin on the tree?"

Thinking of this, Wu Xie decided to climb up the tree to find out what was going on.

Lao Yang took out two pairs of gloves and handed them to Wu Xie and Pan Zi, reminding them to wear them properly.

When they were halfway up, Lao Yang reminded Wu Xie to be careful not to let his exposed skin touch the tree trunk.

Finally, they successfully reached the tree canopy and lowered a rope to pull Master Liang up.
