Chapter 460: 459. Main Tomb Chamber

"Damn, this stingy guy! Sister Tang, I’ll take care of him for you later!"

Su Xiaochi seemed quite eager to try.

Tang Shu didn’t respond to her. Although the kick had been forceful, it hadn’t even caused a superficial wound, but... she would remember that kick.

The Crescent-Shaped Hollowed Jade Pendant was tossed in the air several times by the other party before being pressed into a depression in the center of the Main Tomb Chamber, immediately followed by a thundering sound from within.

"Crap, there really is another ancient tomb?!"

There’s a difference between analysis and seeing with one’s own eyes. Su Xiaochi, staring at the scene through the screen, was dumbfounded, and her respect for Tang Shu grew immensely.

"Sister Tang, your guess was spot on. The entrance is indeed inside the tribal leader’s coffin."

"..."

Tang Shu still remained silent.

The leader of the tomb raiders, upon seeing a staircase leading underground, didn’t descend himself but cautiously stepped back a few paces.

"Scout ahead."

"Yes!"

Soon after, voices came from below, and one by one, they all made their way down the stone stairs to the second ancient tomb.

Tang Shu opened her eyes and moved her limbs, then stood up from the ground.

"Get in here."

"Ouch~ Sister Tang, can’t you be a bit gentler?"

"I learned from you."

"... Alright then."

As the voice in the headset faded, Su Xiaochi, holding a gun, appeared in the ancient tomb, followed by six or seven men.

Tang Shu glanced over them and noticed that several were already part of the archaeological team, with two new faces as well.

"These people... are they all knocked out?"

Su Xiaochi stood in front of the archaeological team, checking on each one.

"Knocked out, don’t worry, it’s just a simple sleeping drug. They’ll wake up in a Shichen."

"A Shichen? Sister Tang, not only do you act like an ancient person, but you also talk like one."

Su Xiaochi knew that Tang Shu had lived in the mountains before high school, so she habitually accepted her unusual behavior with understanding.

"Just leave them knocked out like this?"

"I have the antidote here. Just take one pill later."

The reason Tang Shu hadn’t administered the antidote to everyone earlier was that if the two groups had encountered each other, conflict was likely, and the band of tomb raiders was particularly vicious, which could have led to injuries or fatalities.

Better to feign weakness by actually being drugged; those guys were so preoccupied with the thought of treasure that they wouldn’t bother with a bunch of unarmed professors and students.

Su Xiaochi nodded, "Okay then, let’s follow them first."

Tang Shu pointed to the weapon in her hand, "Since when did you have equipment?"

"When you sent me the message. Those guys are pretty slick, digging a tunnel all the way here from two miles away; our guarding of the two exits was for nothing."

Su Xiaochi slung the weapon behind her back and led the way down the tomb.

Indeed, there was a natural wooden coffin in the Main Tomb Chamber, and inside the coffin was a skeleton, which the archaeological team thought was Ah Jia, but it wasn’t; it was a decoy to mislead them.

As everyone descended the stairs for about four to five meters, they finally reached the real tomb chamber, which was more than twice as spacious as the one above.

"My God, it’s this wide?!"

"Could there actually be treasure?"

"Not sure, but now’s not the time to study that; everyone be careful."

The entire ancient tomb was built of heavy stones, damp and emitting an endless chill. Tang Shu followed closely behind Su Xiaochi, moving forward, and it didn’t take long to catch up with the group of tomb raiders.
