Chapter 457: 456. This habit must be changed!

But for outsiders like Su Xiaochi, it was dry and uninteresting, sheer torture.

So, aside from maintaining the necessary vigilance, Su Xiaochi cultivated her second interest.

——Eating.

This heart-to-heart conversation between besties ended with someone being unceremoniously thrown out of the tent by Tang Shu.

***

It was the fourth day of the archaeological team entering the tomb.

The Tibetan Area is quite cold in the mornings and evenings, so a down jacket coat is necessary. Hence, when everyone crawled out of their tents early in the morning, most were dressed like bears.

Yan Jiajia and a few other girls who loved beauty had even gotten up early to touch up their facial features.

With three days of round-the-clock effort, the secrets of the ancient tomb were gradually unfolding before the archaeological team.

Tang Shu had been translating the stone tablet text every day, which led to everyone now having some understanding of this matriarchal society.

"Today’s the last day, right? The archaeological work is about to draw to a close."

"Can’t believe it’s ending so soon, the tomb itself isn’t that big."

"Luckily it’s an early ancient period burial site. If it had been a royal tomb, even a month might not have been enough."

"Yeah, thank goodness the area is small. We’ve almost used up all the oxygen equipment we prepared, and I feel like I’m almost used to the high altitude here."

For most of the students, it was their first time in the Tibetan Area, so it was normal to have adverse reactions to the high altitude.

Over these past days, everyone had properly reduced their range of activity. They refrained from vigorous exercise as much as possible and occasionally used oxygen bottles, which ensured that the work could proceed smoothly.

Seeing victory in sight, everyone was very happy.

However, Tang Shu and Su Xiaochi, still inside the tent, looked grave, staring at a section of video on the phone screen that gave off a chilling air.

It was a video full of the scent of blood.

Just yesterday, a nearby village discovered several mutilated corpses, and a few familiar figures were also found near the village.

"Are you sure they’re the ones who did it?"

"Positive, who else could it be if not those bastards?"

Su Xiaochi, unlike her usual carefree demeanor, had a cold look in her eyes, her fingers turning white from gripping too hard.

"Wen Nuan said they’re very likely to make their move today. I’ll be with the others at the entrance of the tomb, you be careful too."

"Got it."

Tang Shu packed up her gear for entering the tomb, while also clipping various small devices onto her body. She hesitated for a moment as she stood up.

"You know how to use hidden weapons, right?"

"...I do?"

"Keep this with you."

The next second, Su Xiaochi found herself looking at a small cloth bag that had appeared before her, from which something seemed to peek out, emitting a faint glow.

"What’s this?"

"Silver needles, they’re coated with anesthetic."

"Ordinary anesthetics won’t work on those people."

"I know," Tang Shu continued to pack her gear, "I mixed the drug."

Su Xiaochi caught on instantly, "Got it."

Anesthetic prepared by Sister Tang could probably knock out an elephant; she had nothing to worry about!

"Hey hey hey... what are you doing?!"

Just a second ago, she was internally praising Sister Tang, and the next second, she was thrown out again.

The action was remarkably practiced.

Tang Shu couldn’t be bothered to speak with her and left her behind, catching up with the strides of the others.

Su Xiaochi sat on the grass, angrily plucking a blade and sticking it in her mouth.

"This habit... has to change!"

Despite being a high-valued cute creature, her actions were so crude; she better be careful or Jing Yu won’t want her!
