PFC Chapter 398: Human Compost Humus
Chapter 398: Human Compost Humus
Qin An's voice sounded particularly steady in the dust!
Gu Yang gritted his teeth and stopped hesitating.
He took the backpack off his back and threw it through the gap opened by the chain flaps, and then jumped down from the gap.
Hawkeye followed closely behind.
Before leaving, he did not forget to say to Qin An: "Brother Qin An... be careful!"
Qin An nodded.
Only after all the members of the archaeological team jumped through the gap opened by the series of flaps did Qin An walk to the bronze coffin and the stone coffin. He grabbed the bronze coffin with his left hand and the stone coffin with his right hand.
After overlapping the two coffins, one large and one small.
Raise it above your head and walk towards the location of the chain flip board.
If the netizens in the live broadcast room saw this scene, they would probably exclaim that spiritual energy has been revived!
however.
The quicksand in the tomb has already reached above my calves!
Qin An felt like he was walking in a swamp with every step he took, and the beam of light from the military flashlight above his head carved a path in the turbid air.
I finally reached the chain flip board.
But they found that it was full of quicksand. If they hurriedly covered it with two coffins, the quicksand would most likely flow in through the gap under the coffins.
After thinking for a moment.
Qin An decided to put down the two coffins first to clean up the quicksand above the chain flaps, and then put the two coffins back on.
"Swish—"
Quicksand poured into the tomb like a flood that broke through a dam.
The archaeological team members below the chain of flaps were extremely anxious when they saw that Qin An had not come down yet. They were afraid that Qin An would not make it in time. What if he was so busy putting the bronze coffin on the chain of flaps that he had no time to jump down?
When Qin An finally cleaned up the quicksand on and around the chain flip board.
A big hole suddenly appeared in the center of the ceiling!
A large amount of yellow sand poured into the tomb chamber through the big hole, making a "rustling" sound, and the chain of flip panels was filled with quicksand again.
"Grass!"
Now Qin An is really helpless!
"Brother Qin An! Come down quickly!"
When the archaeological team members below the chain of flip boards saw that the gaps above were filled, they immediately shouted anxiously for Qin An to come down.
Without any choice.
Qin An had no choice but to lift the two coffins above his head again and walk onto the chain of flip boards. The strong gravity disrupted the balance of the chain of flip boards.
"Gah-"
The chain of flip boards collapsed downward and Qin An fell down with him.
The two coffins that Qin An lifted above his head were left on the ground, covering the gaps between the flaps, because their area was much larger than the gaps between the flaps.
But this is only temporary.
Because Qin An didn't clear all the quicksand near the chain of flaps after all...the quicksand would flow into the bottom of the bronze coffin and then fall into the chain of flaps.
It is estimated that in less than half an hour the quicksand will flow under the chain flip boards.
"Bam—"
Qin An landed steadily on the ground below the chain flip board.
Then I felt a soft touch under my feet, which was different from the trap filled with sharp knives and weapons I had imagined.
Qin An was stunned for a moment!
He lowered his head and shone the flashlight, only to see that the bottom of the pit was covered with a thick layer of humus soil with some broken bones scattered on it. Now Qin An finally understood why Yang Lele was okay.
"Brother Qin An! Are you okay?" The archaeological team quickly surrounded him.
"I'm fine!" Qin An took off his shoes and socks and shook out the sand while using a military flashlight to check the situation under the pit.
The situation below the pit was much better than Qin An had imagined!
This is a tomb with nothing in it. The bottom of the tomb is full of soft humus soil. The humus soil feels soft when you step on it. Apart from that, there is really nothing else.
After shaking out the yellow sand in my shoes and socks.
Qin An put his shoes back on and muttered, "This shouldn't be the case... There's actually soft humus soil underneath the chain-flips? What on earth is the Queen of Subi planning?"
Qin An couldn't understand!
If the Queen of Subi had placed sharp knives under this series of flip boards, Yang Lele might have died, but why was it the soft soil?
Liu Guoqing saw Qin An's confusion.
He said, "Brother Qin An... this humus soil is extraordinary! It's made from composted human corpses. Do you see those broken bones in the soil?"
Hear the words.
Qin An looked down.
Qin An found that there were indeed some white fragments on the ground. He picked up a piece and looked at it carefully in his hand, and found that it was indeed human bone fragments.
"Professor Liu...was it common for ancient Western Region emperors to bury slaves with their dead? So this land beneath our feet is actually a burial pit?"
Facing Qin An's problem.
Liu Guoqing nodded solemnly, "Yes! Comrade Yang Lele most likely didn't step on the chain-flip mechanism, but instead accidentally entered the burial pit of the Subi Kingdom."
"The good news is that reaching the pit means we're not far from the main tomb chamber! But the bad news is that we're trapped in the pit and can't get to the main tomb chamber at all."
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone in the archaeological team fell silent.
There are tons of yellow sand above their heads, and they are buried in the burial pits. Once the oxygen in the pits is used up, they will suffocate to death!
The Queen of Subi is really good at scheming!
As long as they enter the tomb chamber of the female general, the yellow sand mechanism above their heads will be activated. In order to survive, the tomb robbers have to take the initiative to enter the burial pit.
Buried with the Queen of Subi!
One move after another, a deadly move at every step!
After hearing Liu Guoqing's words, netizens in the live broadcast room panicked.
[Oh shit! This means the archaeological team is now trapped in the burial pit and can't get out! There's no way to get into the main tomb chamber?]
[Dead end... This is simply a dead end! ]
"How about we contact the Niya County military? Have them quickly dispatch Luoyang shovels to rescue the archaeological team?"
[Uh...how can we contact the military?]
"That's right! Even if the military sent a rescue team now, it would be too late! This burial pit is roughly the size of a basketball court and about four or five meters high! They'd probably suffocate to death before rescuers could even arrive!"
[Wuwuwu... My little brother Qin An! Jiang Liuli! Little mute! I can't bear to leave you!]
[Alas! Brother Qin An was just one step behind! But this is the tomb that the Queen of Subi Kingdom built for three hundred years. It's not unfair to lose!]
The live broadcast room was filled with grief.
..........
In the burial pit.
Everyone in the archaeological team fell silent for a moment.
No one has reacted yet... We were just feeling happy for Yang Lele for finding a way out, but we didn't expect that the way out would turn into a dead end!
When the archaeological team thought that they would turn into nutrients in the soil and become part of the humus after their death, they felt depressed.
