The fat man, who was usually full of witty remarks, was speechless upon hearing this.

Professor Chen, with the air of an intellectual exploring academic matters, boldly stated his hypothesis: "Compared to the past, we are scientific, but in many areas, we may be superstitious about the future. Therefore, we should not reject any inferences about things. Interpreting from multiple perspectives and expanding new ideas is always the right thing to do!"

"Comrade Xiao Su, what do you think of the Queen of Jingjue's eyes?"

Professor Chen looked at Su Mo with anticipation, hoping that this young man whom he had high hopes for could give him some different and unique insights.

"perhaps…"

Su Mo pondered for a moment, then said, "Perhaps those people didn't disappear, but rather went to another dimension..."

A glint of light flashed in Professor Chen's eyes. He stopped and gestured for Su Mo to continue.

Su Mo didn't keep them in suspense and continued, "The nine-story demon tower in the Kunlun Glacier is a product of the ancient Demon Kingdom. As far as I know, the Demon Kingdom has a legend of the Eye of the Serpent God, and the Queen of Jingjue has a close connection with the Demon Kingdom. Therefore, I speculate that the reason why the Queen of Jingjue was able to make people disappear is that she used the Eye of the Serpent God to send people to the imaginary space!"

Professor Chen nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense, Comrade Su. It's rare to see someone think like that. Archaeology needs this kind of thinking!"

After saying that, Professor Chen looked at Xiao Chu, Xiao Sa and the others, and thought to himself, "My students are all learning the most professional knowledge, so why can't they compare to Su Mo?"

It would have been better if he hadn't thought about the problem. But the more he thought about it, the angrier Professor Chen became. He snorted at the young people and turned to walk back upstairs.

"..."

Xiao Sa and Xiao Chu scratched their heads. They hadn't said anything, so why did the professor's eyes look angry just now?

I don't understand!

not understand!

The two young men looked puzzled.

The academic discussion temporarily ended, and the team continued their ascent.

The stone pillars around the room were carved with mythical beasts and birds. Everyone was eager to leave the underground palace as soon as possible, so they only glanced at them briefly and didn't pay much attention.

When encountering mountains, we'll build roads; when encountering rivers, we'll build bridges!

During this time, the group overcame a few minor difficulties and finally reached the end of the stone steps after half an hour—in front of a bronze door.

"It's truly admirable that humans have created such an ancient bronze gate over thousands of years!"

Professor Chen looked astonished, but as he spoke, his smile gradually froze, and his brows furrowed deeply. "This door is probably not something that can be opened by human power. We need the key to this door!"

Su Mo stepped forward, examined it carefully, and couldn't help but chuckle. "Our ancestors in the Central Plains were already adept at using these ingenious and ingenious mechanisms thousands of years ago!"

"Look at me!"

Su Mo extended his palm and used the special skill of the Tomb Raider General - Tomb Raider Double Finger.

"Crack!"

After a crisp sound, a thin crack appeared in the bronze door. Su Mo withdrew his hand and pushed the door with all his might, but it was difficult.

Good guy!

Despite possessing innate superhuman strength, he couldn't push open this ancient door.

Su Mo refused to believe it and pushed the door again with all her might, but the result was the same.

Come on, come on!

Su Mo stopped insisting and turned to the archaeological team, saying, "Gentlemen, let's push open this door together!"

Everyone stepped forward and tried to push the door together, but even with the combined strength of more than a dozen adults, including Su Mo, they could only pry open a narrow passage through the ancient bronze door, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

Seeing this, Su Mo sighed helplessly, "Let's leave it at that, everyone, step in sideways!"

"Row!"

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Su Mo's suggestion.

Su Mo peeked behind the bronze gate, revealing a dark corridor that resembled a tomb passage.

"go!"

Seeing that there was no danger, Su Mo squeezed in sideways.

Without much hesitation, the group followed closely behind Su Mo.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Shirley Yang suddenly said, "Could we already be in the tomb passage of the Queen of Jingjue's Tomb?"

Su Mo thought for a moment and said, "That's actually possible. The tomb passages in the Central Plains aren't that long!"

"Why not just investigate?"

Old Hu quickly put away his gun, took out a glow stick from his bag, and threw it forward.

"Oh!"

The glow sticks landed in the tomb passage several dozen meters ahead.

It was only then that everyone realized that they had already left the tomb passage area and were facing a ten-meter-long broken bridge.

Seeing this, Shirley Yang said again, "It looks like there's no way out; we've reached the end!"

Su Mo and Lao Hu arrived at the end of the broken bridge. Su Mo held up a flashlight, while Lao Hu took out another glow stick and threw it down. "Ding ding!"

The sound of the sparkler hitting the ground was very strange, so everyone walked forward and looked down.

Looking down, Su Mo clearly saw from the red light that the sparkler had fallen directly onto a pile of gold coins.

Everyone stared wide-eyed in shock at the sight of the piles of gold and silver treasures below.

It was as if there was a lake filled with gold and silver jewels below, its dazzling brilliance deeply stimulating everyone's eyes.

【Ding! 】

Just as Su Mo was lost in thought, the long-absent system voice sounded: [Congratulations, host, for triggering a god-level choice!]

[Option 1: Return the lost property without taking a single penny; reward: a golden dagger...]

[Option Two: Take away only a few gold coins as a token reward, but receive a golden black donkey hoof.]

[Option 3: Take as much as you can, fill your system space with the gold and silver treasures below, and you'll be rewarded with a Golden Tomb Raider Compass!]

Hearing the system's voice, Su Mo sneered, "Heh, who do you think you are?"

"A normal person would choose the third option, right? Is it really necessary to list the first and second options?"

"I've already robbed tombs, and I'm still expected to uphold the fine tradition of returning lost property?"

Chapter Thirty-Three: Overflowing with Polonium

As the saying goes, wealth is a powerful motivator. Seeing this glittering "sea of ​​gold," everyone couldn't help but swallow hard.

"They've made it big..."

The fat man trembled with excitement. "I'm really rich now! From now on, if anyone dares to say that I'm poor, I'll fight them!"

"..."

Professor Chen calmed the restlessness in his heart. As the oldest scholar in the archaeological team, he felt it was necessary to remind everyone at this moment, "These are the burial objects of the Queen of Jingjue. The Queen of Jingjue's tomb is right here. Comrades, today, a world-class mystery will be solved by us!"

Upon hearing Professor Chen's words, the greed in the eyes of the young members of the archaeological team gradually diminished.

"Hey... I'm telling you!"

The fat man said, "Brothers, stop standing there! Hurry up and go down to get the treasure!"

As he spoke, the fat man turned his gaze to Su Mo, his eyes flickering as if asking, "When do we make our move?"

Even Shirley Yang looked over at Su Mo.

Su Mo pondered for a moment and said, "There's no way out, we have no choice but to go down..."

"Good good..."

The fat man was thrilled. "Let's go down and see! There must be other information down there!"

As he spoke, the fat man took out several ropes from his backpack and prepared to go down himself.

Looking at the impatient fat man, Lao Hu was speechless. The fat man had the words "seeking wealth" engraved on his forehead. Did he really think others couldn't see it? Couldn't he be a little more discreet?

"rub!"

Before the fat man could tie the rope, Su Mo leaped down and immediately disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Splash!"

The moment Su Mo landed, countless gold coins were stirred up, producing a crisp and sharp sound.

The fat man had just taken the rope in his hand when Su Mo disappeared in front of him. After a moment of stunned silence, he exclaimed, "Wow, that's so high! He actually jumped right down. He's superhuman!"

Indeed, he is not human!

Looking at Su Mo's agile skills, Shirley Yang felt for the first time that the fat man had hit the nail on the head!

"Fatty..."

Old Hu was worried that Fatty might cause some trouble, so he specifically instructed him, "You're in charge of covering our retreat..."

As a childhood friend, Lao Hu knew Fatty all too well. Given Fatty's greedy nature, Lao Hu would never believe that he wouldn't take the opportunity to grab a handful of gold coins.

So, Lao Hu came up with a plan—to have Fatty follow behind everyone, so that no one would notice him stealing the treasure.

"........."

Fatty didn't share Lao Hu's mindset. When he heard Lao Hu ask him to cover the rear, he immediately panicked and hurriedly pulled Lao Hu away, saying, "No, are you kidding me? Why am I covering the rear again?"

"Also, Lao Hu, stop telling me I'll die out. My family has only one son for three generations, and I'm the only one in the Wang family. Aren't you cursing me?"

The fat man looked at Old Hu with a resentful expression, as if to say, "Master Hu, there are mountains of gold and silver right ahead, and you still make me cover the rear. Are you even my brother anymore!"

"........."

What nonsense is this?

Old Hu was in a real bind. He had already covered for this guy so thoroughly, yet this idiot still didn't understand.

.........

silver!

Golden agate stone!

After landing, Su Mo's heart pounded wildly.
