Chapter 2133: There is a cave behind the wall
But there are no footprints or anything like that on the ground.
Where did all this snow come from?
He shined a flashlight on it, thinking it was dripping from above the mine.
But no, if you think about it carefully, there is no blood in the top steel bar, only the part buried underground.
"There is something." After Wang Jinpeng shoveled away the soil, he felt as hard as the rock he had hit last time.
He was about to use a shovel to violently mine, but Lin Ran stopped him directly.
"Don't be impulsive, let go of the picture next to it first." Lin Ran guessed correctly, there is something underneath.
Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning started working at the same time. Huang Lei originally wanted to come up to help, but was rejected by them as being in the way.
"You'd better protect the safety of the two experts." Wang Jinpeng joked.
While the excavation was going on, Professor Liu had doubts.
"Lin Ran, did you discover something?"
Lin Ran nodded. He speculated that there was an ancient tomb under the mine.
"How did you know?" Professor Liu waited curiously for Lin Ran's answer.
"Intuition." Lin Ran couldn't explain. He just felt that there were so many steel bars scattered in this room, and there were blood stains on the ground.
Someone must have been working on it here, but some accidents happened and they couldn't succeed.
While they were chatting, Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning had already dug out the outlines next to them.
In front of them, a white brick wall appeared.
They were all overjoyed.
"Is this where the invaders hide their treasure?"
With that said, Wang Jinpeng was ready to knock down the bricks with a shovel.
"Don't worry yet." Lin Ran shouted at this time.
He first came to the stone wall and observed the stones above.
Although the specific age cannot be determined, the rough craftsmanship obviously has a certain age.
Professor Liu also looked at the brick wall in front of him in surprise and couldn't help but stroke it with his hands.
This is the secret of Yamato Mountain that he wants to find.
"Let's dig it up now!" Professor Liu said excitedly.
"Don't." Lin Ran probably had something in mind.
"Why?" Professor Liu and Huang Lei asked in unison. They thought Lin Ran wanted to take command in his hands.
At this time, Lin Ran had a rough idea of why there were blood stains here, but there was no body in sight.
"It's a trap."
Lin Ran whispered.
"Jin Peng, give me the shovel. Professor Liu, Huang Lei, please step back a little."
Although they didn't understand Lin Ran's intention, they still did it.
Lin Ran signaled Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning to also move back and leave the range of the brick wall.
Then he inserted the shovel directly into the gap between the two bricks.
Immediately, a brick was pried like a lever.
With a strong force, the brick was pulled out with a "bang", and at the same time, he jumped to the side with a lunge.
From the cracks in the bricks, red liquid suddenly spurted out.
When it touched those steel pipes, a stream of gas emerged directly from the steel pipes.
Everyone looked at it with fear.
Lin Ran guessed correctly.
The archaeological team must have been here, and they discovered this wall.
But they overlooked one thing.
Ancient tombs, especially those with underground palaces, were held by dignitaries and were particularly concerned about preventing theft.
He had seen it on TV before. The bricks outside were just bait, and the real trap was actually between the two walls.
If the bricks are opened, the highly corrosive liquid inside will spray out.
Melt everything it comes into contact with.
Looking at the mess on the ground and in front of the stone wall, several people couldn't help but feel scared.
If Lin Ran hadn't tore through the trap, they would probably be dead now.
"There's more inside." Lin Ran actually just pried open the top bricks, and there was still a small part underneath.
They can't get inside until the corrosive liquid inside is completely cleaned.
"Then what should we do?"
Wang Jinpeng saw that the corrosive liquid had gradually seeped into the ground and stepped on it carefully.
As a result, I can feel the warmth through my shoes.
He lifted up his shoes and saw that there were burnt marks on the soles.
He was so frightened that he immediately withdrew from the area covered by the corrosive liquid.
"Let's wait a moment." Lin Ran said.
In the mine, although the air is not circulating, the temperature is still relatively low.
After a while, the surface cooled.
Lin Ran repeated the same trick again and pulled out the bottom brick.
Only then did he notice that the walls inside had turned deep red.
It is estimated that it has been soaked in corrosive liquid and an oxidation reaction occurred.
They waited quietly next to it until there was no more liquid flowing out of the bricks and until the ground temperature completely cooled down.
After receiving Lin Ran's confirmation, they arrived at the entrance of the cave.
Lin Ran looked at the wall inside, and it turned out to be a tomb.
He had seen this trap in Lu Yingjie's notes.
"Okay, now remove all these bricks, be careful not to touch the back of the bricks." Lin Ran said to Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning.
They both immediately started moving.
Professor Liu and Huang Lei were not good at manual labor, so they could only supervise with Lin Ran.
"Do you usually go to the grave like this?" Huang Lei asked incredulously.
"Yeah, is there a problem?" Lin Ran was thinking about what trap might be behind, and when he heard Huang Lei's question, he replied casually.
"Well, when we went to archeology in the past, we usually had to bring thirty or forty people, as well as equipment." Huang Lei looked at the work efficiency of Wang Jinpeng and his two men, and secretly admired them.
"There are advantages to having more people, but the situation in the ancient tomb is complicated, and having fewer people is conducive to changing strategies."
Professor Liu and Huang Lei looked at each other. After working in the archaeological team for so long, they still felt that they were not as professional as Tufuzi.
There were only two of them, but the work was progressing very quickly.
Two hours later, they had almost finished unloading the bricks.
Of course, they are not as careful and meticulous as the archaeological team, and they have to cut the bricks and take them back for study.
They can only try to keep the structure intact and knock out the gaps without doing it deliberately.
Now that the door is open, they stop talking nonsense.
Wang Jinpeng walked directly to the front of the team with a searchlight, and Lin Ran motioned for him to follow behind to provide him with light.
I don’t know what traps there are yet.
After the formation was determined, they walked into the cave without talking.
To be honest, discovering a tomb in a mine is indeed a very magical thing.
As soon as they entered the cave, they saw many standing stone slabs.
At first glance, it looks like a mass grave with tombstones everywhere.
Lin Ran walked to one of the stone slabs and looked at it, which had ancient characters engraved on it.
