Chapter 466: 465. White Bones

Tang Shu remained silent, deciding not to comment.

Is that thing useful? It’s not even as good as a single gemstone.

As someone from ancient times, he completely didn’t understand the sentiments and the surprise in the eyes of Su Xiaochi and the others.

Zheng Anhe followed the steps of the few people, his gaze lingering for a moment on the green raw gemstones and the multicolored gemstones, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

"Is this the real burial site?"

Compared to this, what was above was just child’s play.

Tang Shu nodded slightly, responding to his question, seeing that his eyes contained nothing but confusion and shock without any mixture of other emotions, Tang Shu had an idea about his background.

His agility to dodge the arrow from Su Xiaochi was quite impressive, seeing that he wasn’t overly excited by the gemstones showed that his state of mind was not that of an ordinary person, and as for his clothes that Tang Shu observed with his not-so-fashionable eye, they were all brand names, which was enough proof that this Senior Zheng was at least from a wealthy second-generation family.

On this side, Zheng Anhe, having received a definite reply, was still a bit unable to wrap his head around it, feeling completely dazed.

"So, the four days of archaeological work we did was completely off the mark?"

It turned out they’d been struggling in vain for several days, all for loneliness!

Upon hearing this, Tang Shu’s forehead sprouted a few black lines, "Senior Zheng, you might as well repeat that in front of Director Yang."

Zheng Anhe strongly expressed his refusal.

He wasn’t stupid, if Director Yang knew there was a Main Tomb Chamber below, he’d be overjoyed to death.

A male team member responsible for protecting Zheng Anhe looked at him for a long time, then drew out a dagger from his waist, "Handsome guy, I see you’ve got some skills. Use this for self-defense."

"Thank you."

In the current situation, it was either you die or I live, and Zheng Anhe didn’t have any handy weapons at all, so naturally, he accepted.

As the group continued deeper, the temperature grew colder, and the dripping water became more dense, with milkstone columns one after another, visible everywhere.

Before long, they heard exclamations coming from up ahead.

The group reduced their pace and concealed themselves, only to find the Tomb Raiding Gang gathered around a squarish natural milkstone, their expressions one of astonishment.

Su Xiaochi observed with binoculars for a while and then blurted out the words "Holy shit."

"What’s wrong?"

"There’s a white skeleton on the stone; that must be the tribal chief you mentioned, surrounded by seven or eight pigeon egg-sized red gemstones, which must be of considerable value."

Red gemstones, and thousands of years old at that, any single one of them could fetch a sky-high price, no wonder everyone was shocked.

Upon hearing that, Tang Shu looked towards that dazzling red and while he could only make out a rough outline from the distance, he felt...

"I have a bad feeling about this."

"What?"

As soon as he finished talking, one of the Tomb Raiders had already impatiently reached for one of the gemstones, and the moment he picked it up, the milkstone used to place the body instantly shot out a wooden spike, piercing right through the palm of his hand.

"Ahh——"

A blood-curdling scream echoed to the sky, followed by a clicking sound from the walls, as recessed hollows appeared, and the next second, countless arrow feathers shot out.

"Take cover!"

At this moment, not only were the traps in the Main Tomb Chamber triggered, but the entire underground tomb began to activate, causing a clicking noise even in the area where Su Xiaochi and the others were.

"Swoosh, swoosh——"

Grunts, howls of pain, and the sound of arrow feathers colliding with the walls continued without interruption, everyone busily trying to dodge the Hidden Weapons shooting towards them at any moment.
