It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

of course!

Alternatively, one could look at it from the other side: the person who wrote these words was one of the treasure hunters.

Suppose the six treasure hunters possess formidable martial arts skills or firearms, and after unearthing the treasure, they renege on their promise and kill all the villagers.

Then the six treasure hunters started fighting amongst themselves.

However, neither of these situations can be confirmed at present unless a party involved is found.

But there is still one major question: is this place deep in the mountains?

No matter which direction you go, it's at least 50 kilometers to reach the village or town, and there isn't a single wide road in these mountains. How was the treasure transported out?

Those who went to scout did not find any obvious road.

Could it be that there is no treasure at all?

No, he shook his head. If there was no treasure, then what were the wheels in this passage for?

"Captain, shouldn't we continue exploring further inside?"

A team member suddenly spoke up, bringing Zhao Tao back to his senses. He had almost forgotten that there were other passages leading to other places.

The flashlight illuminated the passage leading deeper into the building, and the group stepped inside.

This passage was longer than the one we came in through. After walking for about eight minutes, we arrived at a large hall.

Yes, it is the main hall, a main hall built with countless huge stones.

The police officers, holding flashlights, stared wide-eyed in disbelief. There was such a large palace underground.

Zhao Tao's face was so dark it was unbearable to look at.

What was initially thought to be a treasure trove left by the ancestors of those six people turned out to be a tomb raiding expedition.

"Don't just stand there, check everything around."

His stern, cold voice pulled everyone back from their astonishment, and they began to examine the scene carefully.

After everyone examined the evidence, they obtained some basic information.

The connection between this tomb chamber and the passageway was blown open by a bomb.

The person who built the tomb was likely from the Wei-Jin period.

This is the main burial chamber, but no one is buried here.

There were traces of things being stored in the three side rooms next door.

"Li Jindang, take the two men down the mountain immediately and report what happened here."

Zhao Tao immediately gave the order.

"yes!"

"Zhao Wenjun, you and Dr. Liu stay here and keep watch."

"Wang Weidong, come with me to find the other person."

As soon as the orders were given, everyone immediately headed out of the cave.

"Woof woof..." The dog suddenly ran back to the passage it came from, barking wildly as it ran.

Everyone immediately realized something was wrong and quickly ran outside.

But no one expected that a sudden loud noise would cause the cave entrance to collapse.

Looking at the buried hole, Zhao Tao's face was so black it looked like ink could be squeezed out.

"There are people outside; we've been set up."

"There's no food here. We need to dig our way out quickly, or we'll all die here."

Everyone knows this principle: if you have tools, use them to dig.

If you don't have any tools, just use your hands to plan.

It was all soil, so it wasn't too difficult to dig, but as they were digging, they heard another loud noise.

The ground was shaking.

You can't see what happened, but you can guess what happened just from the vibration.

"The mountain collapsed."

"The outside entrance is likely completely blocked."

This realization sank everyone's hearts; there was a 90% chance they would be trapped and die here.

"What should we do?" The person speaking asked, their voice trembling.

"What can we do? We can only hope that Jianguo and the others will find us."

"Jianguo and his team" refers to the two small teams of eight people searching for and who went missing.

Zhao Tao wasn't optimistic about this. Someone had secretly trapped them here, and he guessed that something had happened to all eight of them.

It's better to rely on the soldiers (dogs) who run away.

"We haven't seen the situation outside, but maybe it's not that bad. At least we'll dig to the entrance first."

Everyone thought it made sense; perhaps the area outside the cave entrance wasn't buried at all.

Just as Zhao Tao had suspected, eight people from the other two teams had run into trouble.

They were all captured and tied up together.

The four who first went west to scout discovered a natural cave with water.

He went in to investigate, but unexpectedly, he fainted as soon as he entered.

The second group of people who went to search also saw the very conspicuous cave, but they fainted within a minute of entering it.

When they woke up, they found that they had all been tied up.

Liang Weimin asked, "Jianguo, who arrested us?"

"I don't know. When we woke up, we found ourselves tied up, our belongings had been taken away, and we couldn't use our strength."

"Not long after, we saw a person wearing a hood dragging an unconscious person along."

"The unconscious man being dragged along is Zheng Hongjun."

"I asked who that person was and what they wanted, but I didn't get a response."

"He left Zheng Hongjun behind and went out again, but not long after, he dragged someone back with him. This time, the person he dragged was Zhao Yong."

"After that, the hooded man dragged back two more people, you and Sun Shengnian."

Liang Weimin frowned. "Where is that person now?"

Wu Jianguo shook his head. "Who knows? Anyway, after we dragged you in, we left."

The hooded man being questioned by the group, Zhang Quan, was currently being chased by the dog-like soldiers.

"Woof woof..."

Zhang Quan ran across the barren, rocky mountain, glancing back as he ran. Seeing the dog about to catch up, he frantically rummaged through his pockets.

He pulled out a gun, fired a shot but missed, and seeing the dog chasing closely, he pulled out a piece of jerky from his pocket and threw it behind him.

The soldier was a specially trained, disciplined dog. It was never to eat anything given to it by people of unknown origin; that was its first lesson.

Without even glancing at the tiny piece of jerky that was barely visible, the dog pounced, knocking Zhang Quan to the ground and biting his hand. The gun slipped from Zhang Quan's grasp and was kicked away by the dog.

Zhang Quan wasn't very tall; he was quite thin.

The soldier's mouth was aimed at his neck, so Zhang Quan had no choice but to reach out and strangle it.

The soldier twisted his neck and bit Zhang Quan's arm. Zhang Quan felt the pain and loosened his grip on the soldier's neck.

The soldier seized the opportunity and bit his face. Zhang Quan cried out in pain and punched the soldier's head repeatedly.

Even though the soldier was in pain, he didn't let go; he held on tightly and wouldn't let go.

Zhang Quan hit the soldier on the head with one hand, and with the other hand he groped around on the ground, finally touching a sharp stone.

He picked up the sharp stone and stabbed it into the soldier's eye.

The soldier's pupils contracted slightly; it sensed danger, but it didn't back down.

His eyes were filled with determination; he absolutely could not let this bad guy go.

Just as he was about to succeed, a smug look flashed across Zhang Quan's eyes.

"Sizzle..."

With a loud bang, his smug expression froze, and his body twitched a few times.

Before losing consciousness, his pupils reflected a darkened hand.

After Dog Soldier lost consciousness, he stopped talking, his eyes full of confusion, not understanding why the man had suddenly turned black and lost consciousness.

Suddenly, the guard that had just been relaxed was immediately raised again, and it assumed an attack stance as it looked at the tiny person walking in this direction.
