C89 (2/2)

The steps were clear and dark, like a big mouth that was about to swallow up a person, swallowing up the figure of Fang Zhushu.

Ding ding ding!

A crisp sound rang out.

Fang Zishu looked around, but he did not see where this clear and crisp tinkling came from. The moment the powerful flashlight was activated, all the fog in the surroundings was expelled.

Fang Zishu frowned, feeling that the breathing between his mouth and nose wasn't very smooth.

He hadn't felt this sensation for a long time.

He remembered that the last time this kind of situation had occurred was because of the lack of oxygen in Qing Zang's body.

Thinking up to here, he took out a blood-red candle from his backpack, lit it up with a lighter, and placed it near the vent.

The candle flame flickered, burning with extreme difficulty.

”Why is there not enough oxygen here?” Fang Zishu was curious.

Generally speaking, whether it was the tomb or those closed off tunnels, as long as they were located at the air vent, then the air circulation and oxygen content in the space would not be insufficient.

Previously, when he had entered this space, Fang Zishu had clearly felt that the circulation of air in it was extremely fast. Logically speaking, under such circumstances, there was no lack of yang energy in this space.

However, the candle the recipe was placed in proved that there was not enough oxygen in this space. Based on the traces left behind by the candle's burning, he could roughly determine that the oxygen content in this space was only half of what it was in the outside world, or even a third of what it was in the outside world.

”Brother Fang, why did you light a candle in the tomb?”

Qi Sanpang, who arrived later, also had a strange expression on his face when he saw the burning candle at the corner of the wall.

Although the military officer said that the sound of chickens chirping could not be heard, it meant that after entering the tomb, one had to light a red candle at the southeast corner of the tomb chamber.

If the red candle is not extinguished, does it mean that the tomb entered by the inverter is ownerless?

If the candle was extinguished, it meant that the owner of the tomb did not welcome strangers into the tomb. In such a situation, the field officer should immediately put down everything in his hand and return the same way he came from, in order to avoid disaster.

However, what Qi Sanpang did not understand was that the location where the military officer had placed the red candle was in the southeast corner of the tomb. However, the red candle that Fang Zhoushu had lit was not in the southeast corner, nor was it in the other three corners.

This action puzzled Qi Sanpang!

Seeming to have noticed the confusion in Qi Sanpang's eyes, Fang Zishu immediately explained, ”The reason why I don't put the candle in the southeast corner is because I don't want to ask whether this tomb has an owner or not.”

After pausing for a moment, Zi Shu continued, ”In my opinion, even the owner and the owner of the tomb have nothing to do with inverters. It is fortunate that they had to linger around for many days before being able to enter the tomb, could it be that they took the initiative to return just because the heroic spirit of the tomb master has yet to dissipate? Or could it be that after seeing the candle in the southeast corner go out, all of his preparations would be for naught?

”Then why are you igniting this candle at the mouth of the wind?” Qi Sanpang asked.

Fang Zishu smiled, ”I just thought it was strange, I felt a cool breeze on the stairs before I entered, which meant that the air flow in the space I entered was very fast, but the candle I lit told me that there was not enough oxygen in this space!”

”This tomb doesn't have enough oxygen?”

Qi Sanpang's eyes widened, he also felt that this was a little strange.

It was strange to the point that it went against common sense.

”It doesn't matter if we don't have enough oxygen. We've already prepared a convenient oxygen tank before we entered the tomb anyway!” As Fang Zishu spoke, his figure had already disappeared into the darkness, leaving Qi Sanpang by himself at the entrance of the stairs …
