Chapter 2481: Anti-theft layer

Although Wang Jinpeng and the others were a little worried about the unknown things underground, they worked hard as hard as they could.

It didn't take long before they dug into hard ground.

It's a brick roof!

After Wang Jinpeng dug to the top of the brick, he immediately stopped digging.

Lin Ran and Liu Jingfeng were both stunned.

There is a brick roof, could it be...

underground palace?

I originally thought that I would dig out an entrance at most, but I didn't expect to dig up the brick roof.

This means that there is most likely an underground palace below.

But there is another possibility, that is, there is a trap set up below.

After clearing away all the dust on the side, they were not in a hurry to dig out the brick wall.

Lin Ran squatted down and gently touched it with his fingers.

He originally wanted to dig holes to determine where the bricks were weakest, and start digging from that place. This would save effort and maintain the integrity of the ancient tomb as much as possible.

But what surprised him was when he pressed them all and found that they were all the same thickness.

"It's a little strange." Lin Ran frowned. He couldn't tell which part of the tomb was weakest. In this case, he could only try his luck and open it from the back.

Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning were already familiar with the work. They picked up shovels and shovels and started digging.

After a while, I dug down about eight meters, and the soil next to it had piled up into a wall.

Lin Ran checked the soil and suddenly felt something was wrong. He shouted to the two people still below: "Wait a minute!"

The two people who had just started working felt a little sore in their arms, so they stopped and looked up at Lin Ran, wondering what had happened.

Lin Ran also jumped down and touched the bricks on the ground with his hand.

Good guy, it turns out to be the structure of a Song Dynasty tomb.

Fortunately, the approximate age of the soil can be seen through the soil outside.

This kind of ancient tomb is equipped with an anti-theft layer. If you press the brick directly during excavation, the trap will be triggered. As for the trap, it varies from person to person, but in short, they are all things that can kill people.

Lin Ran carefully lifted a brick up and placed it on the ground aside.

"When you are digging, remember to pull the bricks out and don't knock them down directly," Lin Ran said.

Wang Jinpeng touched his head: "Why do you do this?"

"There is a mechanism here." Lin Ran said.

"Mechanism? Can't you just crack it?" Wang Jinpeng felt that digging in this way was too time-consuming. Although they were in a relatively safe environment now, when they thought that the woods next to them were full of dead bodies, they would be very worried when they arrived. At night, they didn't have the guts to spend the night here.

If you want to enter the ancient tomb as soon as possible, if you use Lin Ran's method, you don't know how long it will take to dig.

Xu Ning on the side nodded, taking Lin Ran's reminder to heart.

Lin Ran could only explain: "The mechanism down here is not easy to crack. I can't even tell what kind of trap it is?"

Lu Yingjie's notes recorded a large number of anti-theft traps. The reason why they were called this name is because the anti-theft effect is very good. Once the anti-theft traps are touched, the tomb robber will definitely die.

The original purpose of this anti-theft layer design was to prevent tomb thieves who used brute force to crack ancient tombs.

As soon as Lin Ran finished speaking, Wang Jinpeng couldn't help but wipe his sweat.

"This is too complicated."

"Do as I tell you."

"Some bricks are difficult to pull out. You need to use a knife to cut off the adhesive on the side before taking them out. Although the steps are very troublesome, please follow them."

"Okay." Wang Jinpeng's complaint just now was just a joke. Lin Ran had already told them to do this, so he would naturally follow Lin Ran's instructions.

Although I don’t know what the trap inside is, but it’s called that, it probably won’t give the tomb robbers a chance to survive.

Wang Jinpeng and the two continued to be busy below, while Lin Ran climbed up on the soil steps next to it. There was not much space below, and it was impossible to increase the weight above.

Just leave the digging crew behind.

Wang Jinpeng and the others carefully removed the bricks one by one. After all the bricks were removed, they discovered that behind the wall, there was a white wall that looked transparent, but could not be completely seen. behind

"What is this?" Wang Jinpeng was also bold and scribbled on it with his finger.

With the smooth feel and sticky feeling, the word "candle" immediately appeared in Wang Jinpeng's mind.

Lin Ran jumped down again and touched it.

"It's paraffin," Lin Ran said.

This kind of thing is good for sealing, but it is not strong enough and can be opened with a shovel.

Wang Jinpeng glanced at Lin Ran and asked if he wanted to start construction immediately.

Lin Ran raised his hand and told him not to worry.

The upper white part is really nothing special, but in the lower part, you can see a faint dark red liquid.

Lin Ran couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Fortunately, Wang Jinpeng was a lot more cautious now. If he had knocked down the shovel like he did at the beginning, they would be drowned by the dark red liquid flowing out.

As for the dark red liquid, it doesn't matter whether it is venom or corrosive liquid. If you are submerged, you will definitely die.

Lin Ran told the two of them about this. Wang Jinpeng couldn't help but feel a chill on his neck and cursed: "Damn, isn't this tomb owner too insidious? He even used such despicable methods."

Naturally, he was just complaining. After all, what they did was exactly what the tomb owner didn't want to happen. They invaded the tomb owner's territory first, and then the tomb owner set up a fatal trap.

It's just that the trap was set too far forward. Before entering the ancient tomb, a fatal trap was already set. The danger in the ancient tomb was clearly visible.

It turns out that this is the anti-theft layer designed for this ancient tomb.

There is an anti-theft interlayer behind the brick wall. If they break it forcibly, the paraffin layer will be destroyed, and all the liquid inside will spread out, drowning all the people digging here.

Liu Jingfeng had been watching from above. He admired Lin Ran for being more professional than a native like himself.

Just by looking at the excavated soil, you can tell that there is an interlayer behind the brick wall.

He has encountered this kind of mechanism before. It is often designed to be very hidden. Few tomb robbers can detect it in advance. The things about the mezzanine recorded in books are all written with the blood of ancestors. Lessons learned.

Just by looking at the dirt, Lin Ran could tell that there was a mechanism behind it, and he was really capable.

If it weren't for Lin Ran, Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning, the two people responsible for the excavation work, would definitely have died here.
