Chapter 116 Treasure Hunt
Mo Ming wanted to cry but couldn't.
He had read many novels about tomb raiding, and the dangers involved far exceeded his imagination.
He never dreamed that one day he would appear in an ancient tomb, and that he would enter the tomb chamber in a daze under the pretense of treasure hunting.
"Horn, you old scoundrel, don't let me see you again, *********......"
Mo Ming started cursing at the air.
After venting, I started to weigh things in my mind: should I continue?
Recalling the experiences over this period, the first time I entered the cave was the lair of the Golden Horned Longhorn Beetle. Inside, I dug out a damaged bronze mine, which allowed me to successfully complete the third special upgrade of the shelter.
Not only that, but they also found a wind-stabilizing pearl inside, which provided them with strong protection in the early stages of the storm.
The second cave they entered was a temporary gathering place. Not only did they find a large number of luminous jade stones inside, but they also learned the secrets between Senior Mu Zhan and the Bewitching Demon.
They also acquired 5 clay magic jars, and through the rare metal Xuan Iron Essence inside, they recruited two subordinates with extraordinary potential.
Of course, the most important thing was finding the fragment of the bronze hexagonal seal's outer shell, which accelerated the progress towards meeting the requirements for upgrading to level 5 shelter.
Neither of these two trips down the cave were dangerous, and both yielded quite a lot of rewards.
Looking at the treasure map in his hand, Mo Ming gritted his teeth and thought, "Damn it! If I'm going to raid a tomb, I'm already here. I can't just run away, can I?"
How can we just waste a treasure map that cost tens of thousands of Ancient Spirit Coins?
Having made up his mind, Mo Ming also clarified his goal for this mission.
The guaranteed target is those three boxes of different colors on the platform.
The ultimate goal, needless to say, is to open the golden coffin and even take it away!
The prerequisite for taking it away is that it must first be opened to ensure that the contents are not a threat; otherwise, if it comes back to life after returning to the shelter, the consequences would be unimaginable.
With his target identified, Fangtai was less than 10 meters away, but Mo Ming did not rush over.
With the help of the tomb raiding experience of many masters in various tomb raiding novels, he seemed to be an excellent tomb raider at this moment.
Mo Ming looked down at the ground in front of him. It was made entirely of dark blue-green tiles, and each one looked like it had some kind of mechanism.
He stood there, motionless, his fingers lightly tapping on his thigh, his gaze fixed on the blue brick floor before him. His brow was slightly furrowed, his lips unconsciously pursed, and his mind raced, searching for the best solution.
"Big Bear, go outside and bring in some bigger rocks."
Upon receiving Mo Mingdi's order, Xiong Da immediately ran to the other side of the iron gate, used his immense strength to break off several huge rocks from the wall, and carried them on his shoulder to Mo Mingdi.
Mo Ming's lips curled up slightly as he said to Xiong Da, "Place the rocks one by one on the ground in front of us to pave a path."
Xiong Da nodded slightly, just as he was about to move the rocks, Mo Ming suddenly shouted, "Wait, Xiong Da, you step back to the iron gate first, then push the rocks over with all your might, and be careful to protect yourself."
Mo Ming then retreated back outside the iron gate.
Xiong Da was covered in rock armor. He placed the rocks on the ground and pushed the heavy rocks directly to the square platform with one hand.
Mo Ming stood outside, nervously watching the changes inside.
Huh?
No movement!
"Big Bear, continue!"
Xiong Da repeated his work, pushing the second rock over, which then slammed against the edge of the first rock.
The imagined trap remained untriggered, and the tomb was eerily quiet!
Such a magnificent tomb shouldn't be without any protective measures. Could it be that we were just lucky and didn't encounter any traps?
After Xiong Da finished his repeated work, a stone-paved path led from the entrance to the square platform. However, the tomb remained unusually quiet, without triggering any traps or mechanisms.
If there were traps like crossbow bolts or spikes, Mo Ming might have been able to lower his guard a bit, but instead of allaying his concerns, this made him even more hesitant to go over.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Could it be a time-delay trap?
Mo Ming called Xiong Da out and waited quietly outside the iron gate for about half an hour.
After confirming that there was no movement inside, they began to consider their next course of action.
He took out a thick rope from his spatial ring, tied one end around his waist, and handed the other end to Xiong Da.
"Big Bear, if I yell in a moment, pull the rope hard and bring me back."
Xiong Da nodded.
Mo Ming carefully stepped onto the newly paved stone path, intending to personally go over and put the three treasure chests into his spatial ring.
Actually, Mo Ming initially planned to have Xiong Da go over, tie the rope to the boxes, and then pull them over one by one.
If you rashly grab them one by one with your hands, you are very likely to trigger the mechanism.
Unfortunately, Xiong Da doesn't know how to button his clothes!
There was no other way but for Mo Ming to take matters into his own hands.
Mo Ming walked very nervously for less than ten meters, fearing that a hidden arrow might suddenly fly out from somewhere and kill him.
Upon reaching the platform, Mo Ming did not step onto it. Instead, he extended his hand, pointing the ring at the treasure chest so that the treasure chest could enter the absorption range of the spatial ring.
Then, with a thought, the three treasure chests immediately disappeared from the stone table.
The moment the box disappeared, a rumbling sound rang out, and the three stone tables began to slowly descend.
Seeing this, Mo Ming didn't dare to linger and immediately shouted, "Bear Big, pull the rope!"
Upon hearing this, Xiong Da exerted force with one hand, and Mo Ming felt a tightening around his waist before being sent flying towards the door.
To prevent its owner from falling to the ground, Xiong Da affectionately gave him a hug, and Mo Ming bumped right into Xiong Da's arms.
"what……"
A scream rang in Xiong Da's ears.
The heavy rocks on Xiong Da's body hadn't dissipated, so Mo Ming essentially crashed headfirst into a wall.
No! It's better to just crash into a wall. The heavy rocks on Xiong Da's body are formed by absorbing the power from other rocks and converting it into its own energy. Then, it was condensed using pure earth energy, making it much, much harder than ordinary stones.
Mo Ming covered his head with his hands and shielded his face with his arms. He was still wincing in pain when he got off Xiong Da!
"Luckily, I managed to protect my face, and my handsome appearance was preserved!"
However, the thought of the three extra treasure chests in his spatial ring made Mo Ming's lips curl into a slight smile, despite the pain.
The rumbling in the tomb grew louder and louder, and Mo Ming quickly called for Xiong Da to retreat.
When the sound ended and they looked inside again, the stone table on the platform had completely disappeared, and the golden coffin remained unmoved.
Just as Mo Ming breathed a sigh of relief, something suddenly appeared in the tomb chamber, making his heart leap into his throat again.
"Holy crap! There's another one..."
"Big Bear, run!"
