“Tomb Robber!”

Old Yao and Qin Sisi’s eyebrows tightened.

Immediately, they also noticed that in this vast circular area, a stream of air was seeping in from a certain direction, bringing with it the freshness of the outside world as well as the humidity of rainy weather.

The muddy shoe prints on the ground varied in size and were disorderly, heading in a southern direction.

Lin Chuan crouched down, pinched the mud stains between his thumb and forefinger, gently crushed them, and the moist earth smeared on his fingertips: “They are also inside the tomb.”

“They are also here?”

Qin Sisi immediately became tense, and her voice dropped a few notches.

“Yes.”

Lin Chuan nodded, “This ancient tomb is relatively dry, but only a thin layer on the surface of the mud stains is dry, the inside is all wet, and it is earth from the rammed soil layer, it should have been brought down from a tomb-robbing tunnel.”

Old Yao swallowed and paused, “Doesn’t that mean, they might have run into Xunfeng?”

Tomb-robbing and archaeology are inherently at odds with each other.

Even if two tomb-robbing teams encounter each other, a bloody conflict can erupt if they can’t come to an agreement, and tomb robbers within the same team are also full of deceit toward each other.

Not to mention a collision between tomb raiders and archaeologists.

“That’s a possibility.” Lin Chuan said solemnly, “Our primary task now is to rescue people, avoid conflict with tomb robbers as much as possible, and find Zhong Xunfeng and the others first.”

“Okay!”

Qin Sisi and Old Yao, now both following Lin Chuan’s instructions, nodded.

But, things did not go as they wished.

Lin Chuan checked the direction and followed the footprints southward into the tomb passage. After turning a few corners, he keenly smelled a whiff of blood in the cold and stagnant air.

A collision had indeed happened!

Qin Sisi and Old Yao held their breath, their hearts rising in apprehension.

Lin Chuan didn’t speak and continued forward, where he saw someone in a gray uniform unconscious on the ground at no great distance ahead.

“It’s one of our people.”

Old Yao said in a low voice, hurriedly walking over to check his injuries.

“You’re not suited to move forward anymore.” At this time, Lin Chuan frowned and said.

There were three people in Zhong Xunfeng’s group.

Now, only one person was seen unconscious here, Zhong Xunfeng and the other person were nowhere to be seen, which suggested that they were already in fierce confrontation with the tomb robbers, unable to take care of their companion.

“We haven’t found Xunfeng yet.” Old Yao looked up at Lin Chuan.

“I’ll go look for them. On the other side, there should be a professional tomb-robbing gang; you won’t be able to handle them.” Lin Chuan’s brows furrowed slightly.

He thought to himself, acting alone would be more advantageous for the fight.

The unconscious member of the archaeological team also needed someone to take care of him, and they had to be wary in case the tomb robbers came back and found him, possibly to finish him off.

“It’s too dangerous for you alone!”

Qin Sisi frowned and immediately retorted, “They are a professional tomb-robbing gang; you can’t deal with them alone. I don’t want you to get hurt.”
