With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.
Chapter 523 Finding the Treasure
Nangong Wu shook her head upon hearing this, "You're wrong. If these people block the small opening, it will only make people more suspicious."
Imagine if I didn't have detection equipment and night vision binoculars that allowed me to see the other side of the rock wall, I would never have known that the treasure was hidden here.
Those who dare to venture in to search for treasure are almost all seasoned veterans. If the person hiding the treasure seals up the small opening, someone will notice something amiss—it's deliberate! They'll wonder why anyone would block up that small opening in the first place, and they'll connect it to the treasure.
"Your analysis is correct; I was too shallow," Adeline said with shame.
"Whether this is the entrance or not, let's find the treasure first." Bei Chenyan took a step and walked to the left.
Nangong Wu walked around, looking at the instruments as she went.
Two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters...
Bei Chenyan, who was walking ahead, stopped again.
Nangong Wu looked up and saw that they had reached the end again, with two stone doors blocking their way.
"It seems there's treasure behind this stone door," Adeline said, getting a little excited.
"We finally found it. After obtaining the treasure inside and killing Ling Yangzi and Bei Chenzhan, this trip was worthwhile." Nangong Wu put the instrument into her spatial storage.
"Shall we look for the mechanism to open the door first? If we can't find it, we'll have to blow it up with explosives," Nangong Wu said.
The three of them began searching around the stone gate.
After searching for a while, I found nothing.
Bei Chenyan placed his palms on the two stone doors and exerted his strength, but they remained unmoved.
Inside the space, Aiqi and Erin scanned the two stone doors with their eyes.
"Master, this stone door is made of granite, which is extremely hard and over a foot thick. It will be difficult for you to open it."
"Let's try again," Adeline said, coming up to help.
Together with Bei Chenyan, he placed his palms on the stone door and exerted force again, but it remained unmoved.
"It seems there's a doorstop behind the stone gate," Nangong Wu said.
Even if the stone door is more than a foot thick, with Bei Chenyan and Adelin's profound skills, even if they cannot break through the stone door, they will not be completely unmoved.
The top stone is usually an anti-theft mechanism for imperial tombs. The principle is a pre-set device where a groove is carved into the ground, the top stone is placed in the groove, and the upper end leans against the protruding stone sill on the inside of the half-open stone door.
A person outside the door slowly pulls the half-closed stone door. As the stone door rotates, the tilted door stone slides under the force of gravity and gradually tilts.
When the stone gate is fully closed, the upper part of the top stone also gets stuck inside the stone gate, and the lower part is embedded in the groove in the ground, forming a triangular support that holds the stone gate in place.
Upon hearing this, Bei Chenyan's expression also darkened.
After the imperial tomb was burial, the stone door was also secured with a door-mounting stone. If the door had been secured with a door-mounting stone, it would have been almost impossible for them to open it.
If they were to force the cave open with another bomb, it would collapse, and they would have to move the rocks again, which would take another hour.
The commotion they've caused here must have attracted treasure hunters, and they'll surely be trapped in this cave.
Although they are not afraid of those people, things will become very passive.
"Wuwu, what do you think? If all else fails, we can use explosives to blow it up again."
"No need for bombs." Nangong Wu waved her hand at him. "Don't forget, I'm a master of Qimen Dunjia. I can break any trap."
"You actually managed to break it?"
Bei Chenyan and Adeline were both taken aback when they heard this.
"There's no point in saying more. Just wait and see." Nangong Wu took out a large diamond chainsaw from her spatial storage and put on a mask.
"Is this a saw blade? You want to saw through this stone door?" Bei Chenyan asked in surprise.
The rocks here are incredibly hard; ordinary saw blades simply cannot cut through them.
"You could say that," Nangong Wu nodded slightly, turned on the chainsaw, and it immediately emitted a "buzzing" sound as the shaft spun.
She placed the saw blade into the crack between the two stone doors, and pebbles immediately flew everywhere, making a rather harsh sound.
"You two step back a bit," Nangong Wu said to the two men behind her.
Adeline took a few steps back.
"Wuwu, let me do these chores!" Bei Chenyan said to her.
"You haven't used it before, so it won't work." Nangong Wu disagreed.
Seeing that he couldn't help, Bei Chenyan had no choice but to step back.
About 15 minutes later, Nangong Wu sawed a 2-3 cm gap in the middle of the two stone doors and put the chainsaw into her space.
Then another iron hook appeared, its front end bent into a half-mouth shape, and it was inserted into the gap in the middle of the stone door, hooking onto the top of the door stone.
"You can come and help now."
Bei Chenyan and Adeline immediately stepped forward.
"What do you want us to do?"
"Work together to move the door sill into place..." Nangong Wu instructed them as she worked.
After another fifteen minutes, with the combined efforts of the three, the top stone behind the stone gate was finally straightened from its tilted state to a vertical position, freeing it from the obstruction of the threshold.
"Princess, your skills are good enough to rob imperial tombs," Adeline joked with her.
Nangong Wu laughed when she heard this, "Great! When I run out of money one day, I'll knock on the door of that imperial tomb and borrow some silver from the emperor lying in there."
"I won't let you go without money," Bei Chenyan said to her seriously.
"Once we collect the treasures inside, we may never be poor again." Nangong Wu collected everything.
"Come on! Let's push open these two doors to wealth together."
The three of them worked together and slowly pushed open the stone door.
They pushed open a stone door, and a stench of decay hit them.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound shot towards them.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
"Be careful..." Bei Chenyan pulled Nangong Wu aside, and Adelin also moved to the other side.
A hail of arrows was fired.
"There were indeed traps inside."
After the hidden arrows were fired, Nangong Wu walked in, holding a shield in one hand and a flashlight in the other.
"I'll go in and take a look first. You can come in later."
Shining a flashlight inside, you can see that it still looks like a cave, but there aren't as many scattered rocks.
She walked slowly inside, wary of her surroundings.
Bei Chenyan was worried about her, so he said to Adeline, "Let's go in too."
There was treasure inside, so he had to be careful.
Human nature is unpredictable. When they see gold and silver treasures scattered all over the ground, there is no guarantee that Adeline will not suddenly harbor ill intentions towards them.
Ahead, Nangong Wu listened intently to all directions and walked about thirty meters in before the view suddenly opened up.
It's still the same cave as before, except that the space inside is much larger, with boxes placed on the ground.
"Adeline, go open that box and take a look." She pointed to the box placed at the front.
