Chapter 209 - Under The Stairwell. The Skull Marking (1/2)

The activated mechanism revealed the path.

Ye Yunting who was just bashing Yun Jian turned silent. She was basically clowning with herself. What a joke.

“Yun Jian, how did you know that the mechanism is here?” Bo Zhan was the first to ask Yun Jian with shock written on his face.

“The soil looks loose. Someone probably activated it before us, so it was not hard to spot it,” Yun Jian explained before sweeping the sand back to cover the mechanism up.

“Since someone’s activated it, why’d they conceal it? And why are you doing the same too?” Ling Tianhao who stood on the side asked in puzzlement.

“Those who came here naturally don’t wish for anyone else to come after them and snatch the treasure in the catacomb away.” Yun Jian cracked a toothy grin before she pursed her lips together and continued carelessly. “Me too.”

She actually did not do that for this reason.

Bo Zhan and Fu Xin who were experts in tomb raiding were also fans of studying various mechanisms of the catacombs.

Although it was Yun Jian’s answer that kept them surprised.

The mechanisms in a catacomb were linked to each other. If the person who went in covered up the mechanism here, there must be a reason behind it. Copying the actions would at least ensure that they would not trigger other dangerous ones.

As for Yun Jian’s smart reply, they could not help doing a double take at her.

This fifteen-year-old young lady whom they assumed to be the weakest link in the group was not a simple character!

“Cough, let’s head down now.” Bo Zhan led the way with his flashlight.

Yun Jian followed and the group continued in their previous manner.

“Boom…”

Oddly, the mechanism behind them closed automatically after Ye Yunting, who was the last one, walked into the downward passage.
