Chapter 246 Sure enough, the end of tomb robbing is metaphysics
He opened the two iron boxes and handed two candles to Meng Ziyi.
"You stay here first, I'm going out to check the situation. If there is any danger, call me." Ye Bai instructed.
Meng Ziyi nodded.
Ye Bai took the iron rod and rushed out of the cave.
Outside the cave, the wind was howling, blowing the leaves around.
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi were shivering in the cave.
The two girls' faces were as pale as paper.
Outside the cave, there were two corpses, which had already frozen stiff.
"These two corpses are trapped here." Ye Bai sighed.
The two corpses had been severely eroded by wind.
"They must be tomb robbers," Ye Bai said. "The ancient tomb is full of traps. They couldn't get close to the tomb chamber, so they could only wander around the entrance. They ended up entering this cave by mistake."
Yang Mi nodded.
Ye Bai took out a flashlight from his pocket and illuminated the surroundings.
This cave is not big.
He walked all over the cave and didn't see any other caves or secret compartments.
"This is a solitary grave." Meng Ziyi murmured, "Could it be that the tomb owner really led us here?"
Ye Bai pondered.
"Are you sure this is a tomb?" Meng Ziyi asked again.
"This is the largest tomb chamber. There is a very strong yin energy in the tomb chamber."
Ye Bai said: "I think it's a tomb."
Yang Mi nodded.
She also agreed with Ye Bai's judgment.
She believed what Ye Bai said.
The three of them discussed for a while, and Meng Ziyi said, "Let's go back. It's so late, and we have to travel tomorrow, so don't delay our work."
"it is good."
The two were ready to go back.
Suddenly, a strange noise came from outside the cave.
The sound was like some animal running.
"It's a wolf." Ye Bai said.
Wolves are extremely dangerous creatures. Ye Bai has fought with them before and knows how cruel and bloody they are.
Now, they actually broke in!
Yang Mi was shocked.
Ye Bai picked up the iron rod and stared outside vigilantly.
"Awooo——" The howling of the wolves was getting closer and closer.
They ran wildly in the mountains and forests, making deafening roars.
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi were so frightened that their legs went weak.
"Where are they?" Meng Ziyi asked with trembling lips.
"Outside the forest." Ye Bai pointed to a spot. "Look at this rock wall. They must have come in from that side, leaving claw marks along the way."
"Oh."
"By now, they should have already pounced on the iron cage." Ye Bai said.
There were food and water in the cage, but the wolves were starving and would definitely attack the food and water.
"Ouch——"
The howling of wild beasts outside became clearer and clearer.
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi were so frightened that they could hardly stand.
"Don't panic, both of you." Ye Bai reassured them, "These wolves are organized and disciplined. After they've attacked the food and water, they'll retreat. We don't need to worry."
"Oh."
The two gradually calmed down.
They huddled together, curled up into a ball.
The howling outside was getting closer.
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi even smelled a faint fishy odor.
They couldn't help but get goose bumps all over their bodies.
Ye Bai held his breath and listened carefully to the movements of the wolves.
"Bang bang bang!"
The wolves finally set foot on the muddy ground next to the iron cage.
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi were so scared that they screamed uncontrollably.
However, the wolves did not rush to pounce.
They stopped five meters away from the iron cage and kept screaming.
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi opened their eyes wide and saw a scene that they would never forget.
A crack appeared next to the iron cage. The crack was not very thick, about half a foot.
Two claws stretched out from the crack.
The claws are slender and clean, as white as jade, and completely cold.
This is the tiger's claw!
"Squeak--" The sharp and piercing cry pierced the night sky, giving people a splitting headache.
Those two sharp claws suddenly grabbed the iron cage.
The iron cage made a creaking sound, as if it was about to break.
The Wolf King is coming!
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi were filled with fear.
"what!"
"Help--"
Both girls cried and were at a loss.
Then, Yang Mi saw a scene that left her dumbfounded.
A huge and majestic gray-haired black panther jumped into the iron cage through the crack.
Its claws firmly gripped the iron cage, and the other claw slapped the ground hard.
The ground immediately sank several inches.
The iron cage was pressed back by it.
"Crack!" The crack expanded again and the iron pillar deformed.
It bit the other end of the chain and pulled the cage out of the crack.
Then, it pulled hard and actually broke the chain.
Before the chain broke, a piece of black wooden stake was exposed.
"Squeak--" It released the iron cage.
That's the coffin lid!
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi widened their eyes in surprise.
"This……"
"Whose coffin is this?"
"Why is there a leopard helping?"
Ye Bai glanced at Meng Ziyi and said with a smile: "How do you know everything?"
"Because I like to study antiques." Meng Ziyi said.
Ye Bai smiled.
The iron door was already open, and a corner of the wooden board inside was torn off, revealing the coffin lid.
A chill hits my nose.
Inside the coffin lay a coffin and a bronze box.
Ye Bai, Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi looked at each other and were all stunned.
Ye Bai squatted down.
The torn piece of wooden board revealed a gap.
Ye Bai brushed away the wood chips.
Lying inside was a skeleton.
The skin on the dry bones is very well preserved.
Ye Bai gently stroked the dry bones, feeling the texture of the skin.
"It's very hard, almost as hard as steel." Ye Bai whispered, "It's made of stone."
After saying that, he opened the coffin lid and looked inside.
The inside of the coffin was filled with stones.
Layer upon layer, densely packed, it looks like it weighs hundreds of pounds.
The texture of the stones is exquisite and their arrangement is like a work of art, magnificent and stunning.
"These stones can be sold for money!" Yang Mi said.
Meng Ziyi also agreed: "These are high-quality raw stones. They are priceless."
Ye Bai nodded.
Yang Mi became excited: "The raw stones in this world are quite rare and are considered rare treasures!
We were so lucky to have found a stone house in this godforsaken place."
Ye Bai shook his head.
"No, there are more than just stones buried here." Ye Bai said, "There are also human beings buried here."
"Ok?"
"These stones are for the dead." Ye Bai said, "Two ancient military officers, a nobleman, and an emperor are buried here."
"How do you know?" Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi were both stunned.
Ye Bai smiled: "Guess."
"That's impossible!" Yang Mi said, "If someone was buried there, there wouldn't be no trace at all."
"Let's go out first." Ye Bai said, "We'll talk after we get out."
The three of them climbed out.
This ancient tomb is indeed not simple.
This experience also stunned the audience in the live broadcast room.
[My Neighbor Totoro's Friends]: "Whose tomb is this? Two officers and a nobleman are buried here... There's an old woman buried in my family's ancestral tomb. I wonder if I can exchange her for money?"
[The stars in the sky are shining brightly]: "Do you dare to change it? If you do, your mother will kill you!"
