Chapter 1415: Cooperate with us
There are only eight people on Lin Ran's side, but the four of them are the absolute core of the team.
In fact, when he came in just now, Shiro was a little surprised to see Lin Ran and the others here.
These guys actually said that they broke in accidentally, and he didn't believe anything they said.
But looking at them, they did look a little embarrassed.
Especially Lin Ran's performance just now was so professional that he even deceived him.
If not for the fact that before leaving, the consultant next to him saw the flashlight and food in the bag and told Shiro that the food in it was actually compressed food.
Ordinary people often come to ancient tombs, and they may prepare some canned fruits and other items, thinking that they can be used to supplement nutrition.
Only professionals know that puffed food is the best guarantee.
"How did you get here?" Shiro said with a smile, and then his men used guns to force them back to where they were.
Lin Ran said weakly: "We came in from the hole in the mountain, that's the direction."
He pointed to the passage he had just walked through.
One person from the treasure hunting party took a strong light and walked to the end of the passage, shining a light inside.
Then he replied: "It's very deep in here."
"Really?" Shiro felt confused, but thought that it was possible that other people had dug the hole to break in.
If they knew this shortcut, they wouldn't have to work so hard all the way.
After thinking about it this way, he also figured it out.
Lin Ran and the others were probably lucky enough to take a road without too many traps and monsters to reach here safely.
In comparison, the road they took was too dangerous.
Especially those green-faced and fanged monsters. If they hadn't had firearms, it would have been impossible for them to arrive here safely.
"Have you ever seen that kind of..." Shiro thought for a long time, not knowing how to describe it in Chinese.
Eventually it fell to the translator next to him.
This translator seems to be both an engineer and a translator, so he should have some weight in the team.
He was the one who asked Lin Ran and others to leave just now, but in front of Shiro, he was just a wage earner after all.
"Have you encountered any rice dumplings?" said the translator.
Speaking of Zongzi, Lin Ran and the others didn't react. The monsters they encountered were completely different from Zongzi.
However, the other four people had different ideas.
What they encountered was authentic rice dumplings.
Seeing the reactions of others, Shiro also realized that they also encountered monsters.
But these guys are really lucky. They can survive until now just by relying on these knives.
Unfortunately, luck has come to an end.
"Gentlemen, to tell you the truth, there are too many traps on the way there. It is safer for you to explore with us. Don't worry, we will take you out soon."
Shiro's words sounded sincere, but everyone present was an old Jianghu.
Except for the four people who just took a chance on his words, everyone else knew very well that they couldn't believe a word of what the neon tomb robber said.
Even so, you still have to put on a show.
"They must have kept us here to be used as bait when the time comes." Lin Ran winked at Guan Yun.
In fact, I don't know how they can be so good, taking people like them who they don't know to explore the ancient tomb together.
Not shooting them on the spot would have given them enough face.
There was no room for refusal now. Lin Ran still pretended to be afraid and said: "Taijun, you don't have to be like this, right?"
"Taijun? Yosi." Shiro obviously liked this title.
Because in their country, this should be a relatively high position.
"You are lucky, because we will take you to find the main tomb and then take you away safely." Shiro smiled, then waved his hand and asked his men to put away their guns.
Don't think that he really means well. As long as he wants, these loaded guns can penetrate their heads at any time.
Lin Ran and the others pretended to be unhappy and prepared to approach Shiro.
If Shiro can be captured as a hostage, maybe he can really leave safely.
However, Shiro is not a fool.
He asked his men to stand in front of him and said: "Don't worry, you guys, stand in the middle of our team. Don't worry, these weapons will only be used to deal with monsters."
If Lin Ran and the others believed what he said, there would be a ghost.
Even the four leaders, who were simple-minded, looked distrustful.
But there was no other option but to stand in the middle of the line.
Shiro temporarily finished dealing with the trespassers, and his eyes fell on the bronze tripod in front of him.
"Liu Mao, go and take a look." Shiro said to the translator.
"Yes." Liu Mao immediately stepped forward and examined the patterns on the tripod.
"It's a sacrificial cauldron from the Warring States Period."
Liu Mao checked it and told Shiro the conclusion.
Lin Ran couldn't help but be shocked by these words.
What is this guy's background? He actually saw that it was Zhao Guo's writing.
"Sacrificial tripod?" Shiro's Chinese language is obviously only suitable for daily communication, and he does not understand the traditional Chinese culture. "Is it possible that the body of the tomb owner is buried in it?"
"No." Liu Mao said patiently, "Sacrifice was used to place sacrifices in ancient times."
"You Chinese people are really interesting. Why are there such strange tripods in ancient tombs?" Shiro also came to the bronze tripod. He had no ability to appreciate it, but he liked the tripod in front of him very much.
Even if this is not his main goal, if he can bring it back to the president, he will definitely promote himself.
"In Chinese culture, tripods are used for eating." Liu Mao pushed up his glasses and said, "Since the Warring States Period, people have used tripods for eating, drinking, and offering sacrifices. This kind of big tripod was only used in ancient times. It appears in the tomb because when people were buried in the past, they had to give them a large jar of food to prevent them from starving."
Liu Mao originally wanted to talk about some cultural knowledge, but he was a little disgusted with Shiro, so he spoke in straightforward terms.
But these words seem to be crude but not crude. Liu Mao is indeed a man of culture.
The people in the treasure hunting party were also very courageous. They climbed into the cauldron without any hesitation.
"There's nothing inside." The person inside the cauldron replied.
"Nothing. How is it possible?" Liu Mao showed an expression of disbelief.
The bronze tripod is used by dead people to eat.
Especially for this kind of large tomb, the bronze cauldron must be filled with cattle, sheep, vegetables and other food. Even after 2000 years, there will still be some ash left. How could there be nothing?
Could it be that he was really eaten?
Or... it was emptied out and the bronze tripod was being taken away.
He looked at Lin Ran doubtfully: "Have you touched anything inside?"
