Chapter 2484: Miser
Although Huang Hao was uneducated, he was not a fool. He saw that after he took a few steps back, the vibration of the sarcophagus weakened, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Could it be that the owner of the tomb is targeting him.
"Give your bag to Wang Jinpeng." Lin Ran said. Now that the two of them were standing at the same position, they could hand the bag over directly.
Lin Ran did another experiment and asked Wang Jinpeng to walk forward with the bag. Sure enough, the sarcophagus began to shake violently again.
The problem is not with Huang Hao, but with the jewelry that Huang Hao wants to take away.
After Lin Ran told others this speculation, Huang Hao had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Isn't the tomb owner too stingy? He won't let us take anything away?"
"Now is not the time to think about these things." Liu Jingfeng took the backpack from Huang Hao and threw the jewelry he just took out on the ground.
Lin Ran picked up the jewelry on the ground and threw it back into the bronze tripod.
At this moment, the sarcophagus that had been shaking before finally became completely quiet.
"I finally understand, the tomb owner is a miser." Huang Hao couldn't help cursing.
Others covered their mouths and snickered. They were lucky to be able to leave the tomb without angering the tomb owner.
Finally, the sarcophagus slowly stabilized and stopped shaking.
"How can people be so stingy?" Huang Hao couldn't hold back his anger when he saw the coffin that was completely quiet.
When Wang Jinpeng saw his expression, he was very frightened just now, but now that he was fine, he began to curse.
Wang Jinpeng was quite interested in this coffin and asked, "Should we open it and take a look?"
"What are you looking at?" Liu Jingfeng rolled his eyes at him. The coffin was heaving up and down just now. There must be something inside. He even opened it deliberately. Did he think he didn't die quickly enough?
He could feel just now that if the coffin lid was opened, something terrible would definitely appear inside.
It can be said that if Lin Ran hadn't discovered it in time, they would have been in danger now.
It is extremely rare to be safe and sound now. I still want to open the coffin. I really don’t know what Wang Jinpeng’s brain is like.
Lin Ran glanced at the time, it was already past 12 o'clock.
"We'd better leave quickly and don't touch the things inside for now."
The other people also stopped joking and carefully walked around the sarcophagus.
This time nothing was taken away, and the sarcophagus seemed very quiet.
When Lin Ran finally passed the sarcophagus, he glanced at the airtight coffin.
He was also very interested in the things inside, but he knew that with their current level, they might not be able to deal with this guy.
I just hope that he doesn't have any outrageous abilities, otherwise Song Wen and the others will not have any bad thoughts when they pass by and take the coffin back to study.
People in the Special Operations Bureau must be very interested in unknown abilities. There are too many secrets in this ancient tomb.
Unfortunately, their abilities are limited and they decided to leave first.
What just happened left everyone still frightened, but with Lin Ran here, they felt more at ease.
The passage at the back is quite spacious, but everyone still maintains a formation of one behind the other, walking in the passage.
This is a corridor with neat stone slabs on the ground.
You can feel that the corridor is tilting downwards. On both sides of the corridor, there are also some strange words carved on it.
But although there are many words, they are indeed arranged according to certain rules.
Lin Ran felt that he just repeated one sentence back and forth and wrote down the general diagram. He didn't study it too much.
Everyone walked in the corridor and tried to avoid touching the wall.
They were very careful with every step they took, not sure if they would encounter danger.
Lin Ran unknowingly came to the front of the team, using the miner's lamp on his forehead to check whether there were any raised slates or gaps on the ground.
Only after he confirms that there is no danger will he move forward.
After walking a few steps, Wang Jinpeng suddenly asked: "Do you feel a little uncomfortable?"
If he had asked this question for no reason at ordinary times, Huang Hao would have responded, thinking that he was too sensitive.
But this time, Huang Hao did not deny him, but said seriously: "I just wanted to say this, and I also feel a little uncomfortable."
Other people also expressed their feelings. Their uncomfortable feeling mainly came from their chest, which seemed to be particularly dull.
"Altitude sickness?" This was the first thing Lin Ran thought of, because he also felt a little short of breath, as if he was coughing too much and his lungs couldn't breathe.
"Try to take deep breaths and adjust your heartbeat rate." Lin Ran said.
They didn't have any medicine for altitude sickness when they came to explore, so now they had to rely on their bodies to get through it.
It was the first time that Lin Ran came to explore this kind of ancient tomb, and he didn't consider this situation.
The others nodded and followed suit.
It had been about half an hour since they entered the corridor, and it was almost time to reach the end.
Just when this thought came to his mind, he saw a dark round hole within the sight of the miner's lamp.
At first glance, it looks like something suddenly exploded in the middle of the tomb passage, digging a robbery hole.
Lin Ran quickened his pace and came to the entrance of the cave.
Looking at the hole in front of me, it is oval-shaped. It is not an irregular shape caused by explosives, but has traces of manual excavation.
The edges are smoother to prevent injuries when crawling through the hole.
Lin Ran felt a little strange when he saw that the walls of the tomb passage were damaged like this.
He checked the hole and found it was new. It should not have been long since it was dug out.
Have any tomb robbers been here?
Liu Jingfeng and Wang Jinpeng also gathered around. Wang Jinpeng just glanced at the cave and said with a smile: "It turns out that a colleague has already arrived."
"Who is going with him?" Liu Jingfeng said, "We will not do such destructive things."
"Yes, yes." Wang Jinpeng returned quickly, then squatted down and picked up a stone brick that fell on the ground. "It looks like it was opened not long ago."
Lin Ran nodded. After being a native master for so many years, Wang Jinpeng was considered enlightened and could judge the time when a stone was knocked down through the weathering marks on its surface.
Although for archaeologists, the environment inside the corridor has been destroyed, which will have a certain impact on future research.
But it's a good thing for them now.
First of all, there were no corpses or traces of anyone walking in the tomb behind them. When they came, they could still see thick dust on the ground.
This also means that the tomb robber who dug this hole should be moving forward.
