The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Even Wu Xie had a strange feeling that the two rocks above his head would suddenly fall down and trap them all there.

Suddenly Fang Yun stopped. Wu Xie, who was still lost in thought, didn't notice and bumped into Fang Yun.

Wu Xie quickly shook his head and looked ahead.

Old Yang, standing beside him, was pale and his lips were trembling, as if he had seen something terrifying.

"I...I think I saw a human hand."

Wu Xie looked up but didn't see the messy hand that Lao Yang had mentioned, and thought that Lao Yang was just trying to scare him.

When Wu Xie saw that Fang Yun's gaze seemed to be fixed on a certain spot, he followed Fang Yun's gaze and was startled, almost biting his tongue.

It turns out the mountain road ahead was blocked, and if you wanted to get through, you would have to climb up from there.

Upon closer inspection, the thing blocking the mountain road was actually an enormous human hand.

"The Qinling Mountains are indeed incredibly mysterious. It's amazing that there are such lifelike human hands carved here."

Fang Yun couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing Fang Yun say this, Wu Xie finally came to his senses and carefully examined the people blocking the mountain path.

Upon closer inspection, the color of the person's hands was almost indistinguishable.

And this color is the color of the rock.

I was just startled; for a moment, I thought it was a giant human hand.

However, the carving technique is truly superb. The first impression this statue gives is that it's like the lifelike wax figure next to you in a wax museum, as if a real person were standing right next to you.

The hand seemed to have been pressed down along with the rubble above. Wu Xie looked up, but found that he couldn't see any useful information from below.

"It seems we can't go any further. Now we need to climb up. I'll lead the way, and you guys follow behind me. Don't fall behind. If you encounter any problems, shout for help. Never act alone. There are hidden dangers in the Qinling Mountains."

Fang Yun said calmly, but his gaze was fixed on the statue.

Chapter 309 Ancient Mine in Jishui!

Wu Xie followed behind the group with a sense of curiosity.

Wu Xie originally thought that something that could be carved so realistically must be something like a Buddha statue.

Then, due to years of neglect in these deep mountains and forests, it naturally collapsed, resulting in this situation.

When Wu Xie got up there, he realized that the situation was not as he had imagined.

This is actually a human figure carved into the mountainside.

The sculpture was carved directly onto the mountainside, but the statue was blasted open from the middle, leaving only a hand and one shoulder.

It's barely identifiable as a statue.

Based on this remaining information, Wu Xie couldn't determine what the carving actually depicted.

However, judging from the remaining parts of the statue, these remaining parts are basically sculpted to restore human proportions.

The carving is so lifelike that it's safe to assume it's not a Buddha statue or anything like that.

After all, those things would be exaggerated when they were carved, and wouldn't be so realistic.

What exactly is being carved and what its purpose is remains unknown.

Fang Yun stood at the collapsed entrance of the hole, which was just big enough for one person to pass through.

Wu Xie quickly stepped forward, took out his flashlight to illuminate the cave, and was able to determine that the cave was very deep.

In other words, this mountain may be hollow.

According to Wu Xie's judgment, there is probably an ancient tomb in this mountain.

Wu Xie admired the person who built the ancient tomb here immensely; they must be an extremely skilled individual.

Who would have thought there would be an ancient tomb in these mountains?

However, the person who could topple this tomb is truly exceptional.

Even if someone spends a year or two wandering around this narrow strip of sky, they might not be able to see through its mysteries.

“We can’t be sure what’s inside this cave right now, but there’s no way out. Let’s go down and explore. Judging from the way it was bombed, someone must have been inside. Since someone has been inside, it shouldn’t be too dangerous. Old Yang, you go down first.”

Fang Yun said calmly.

Of the three, only Lao Yang was relatively thin, Fang Yun had a normal build, and Wu Xie was slightly chubby.

Therefore, Fang Yun wanted Lao Yang to go down and check the situation first, so that if anything unexpected happened, Lao Yang could be pulled out in time.

Without saying a word, Lao Yang crawled into the cave, but the entrance was set very high.

Old Yang tried to stick his feet down but couldn't reach the bottom, so he could only lie on the wall and keep moving down.

Wu Xie quickly handed the flashlight to Lao Yang, who held it in his mouth and walked down step by step.

All that could be heard was the sound of water splashing.

"There's actually standing water in here."

Old Yang said in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie quickly peered inside and saw that the cave contained a roughly arched structure.

It was all stagnant water inside, and it looked like the water level was quite high.

According to what Lao Yang had told Wu Xie before, they hadn't discovered these things at all when they came last time.

In other words, the hole must have been blown open within the last three years.

However, judging from the amount of stagnant water in the cave, it's impossible for so much stagnant water to have accumulated there over three years.

Wu Xie's mind was filled with doubt once again.

Seeing this, Wu Xie quickly took out two waterproof bags from his backpack and put the backpack inside.

He tossed one to Old Yang and carried the other on his back.

Fang Yun briefly explored the situation inside the cave before going down with them.

When Wu Xie came down, he touched the water below and felt that it was icy cold.

Indeed, sunlight rarely shines into this cave.

If this water is left in this cave for a year or two, it will naturally become extremely cold, just like water frozen in a refrigerator.

Although there was water in the cave, the ground underfoot was relatively flat and there were no potholes.

Wu Xie hadn't expected there would be underwater operations this time, and he hadn't brought much equipment with him.

We had no choice but to wade through the water and head into the cave.

Wu Xie and Lao Yang were carrying flashlights, and Fang Yun was following behind them.

Before long, everyone saw a low stone door opening on one side of the stone wall.

Wu Xie could tell at a glance that the hole was definitely not dug by tomb raiders.

There was no decoration above the hole, and at first glance it looked like a tomb raider's hole.

However, it is still possible to see that there is a fundamental difference between it and a tomb robbery hole.

"We just came down to take a look around. Whether you want to go in or not is up to you. You can decide for yourselves."

Fang Yun said calmly.

"In my opinion, we've already come this far, so going a little further shouldn't be a problem. How about this, I'll go in first and check it out. If there's no danger, then I'll call everyone in."

Old Yang quickly replied.

Old Yang is now so hungry he'll take any opportunity to look at anything that resembles an ancient tomb.

After all, he had a lot of money to raise, so he wanted to grab as many treasures as possible.

...... .... .......

Wu Xie had no choice but to listen to what Lao Yang said.

If Wu Xie had come alone and seen this scene, he would have definitely turned back the way he came and wouldn't have explored any further inside.

And so Fang Yun and Wu Xie followed Old Yang into the low stone gate, where there was indeed a passage.

However, the surrounding area was just randomly dug, which Wu Xie could tell by shining a flashlight on it.

There was absolutely no trace of a tomb raider's tunnel being built.

Suddenly, a 90-degree turn appeared directly in front of us.

Fang Yun frowned slightly, took a few steps and pushed Old Yang aside before walking over.

Shining a flashlight on it, you can't see what's inside or how deep it is.

"Wu Xie, you try to guess what kind of place this is. You've been following me for so long, there are some things you have to try out yourself. Just talking about it on paper is useless."

Fang Yun said calmly.

"Based on my current assessment, this could be an air-raid shelter, but another possibility is that it's a mine. If we go further in and see a deep well, then it must be a mine. However, going further in isn't a very good decision right now."

Wu Xie quickly said,
