Chapter 1147: Chapter 1146: Location of the Ancient Tomb Entrance

"Boom boom boom~"

As Lin Fan stomped hard with his feet, the muffled sound echoed like pounding drums! freёwebnoѵel.com

In just a few moments, Lin Fan had already stomped dozens of times!

And just then, Lin Fan suddenly noticed a slight change in the sound from his stomping!

The sound was no longer dull; instead, it had a crispness to it!

With Lin Fan’s eyes, it seemed that only if there was emptiness below could such a sound echo!

"Could the entrance to the ancient tomb be right under this high platform?" Lin Fan’s face showed a hint of excitement!

"Boss, did you find something?" Nie Lei, upon seeing the excitement on Lin Fan’s face, hurriedly asked.

"If I’m not mistaken, the space beneath this platform should be hollow!" Lin Fan said.

"What? Hollow?"

Nie Lei well understood the meaning behind Lin Fan’s words and hurriedly said, "Does this mean the entrance to the ancient tomb is beneath here? We should get people to start digging immediately!"

"Don’t rush! This sculpture is the deity of the Miao People. If we start digging here, they’ll definitely try to stop us. Let me think of a way first!" Lin Fan said!

Nie Lei nodded, his face also filled with excitement!

Immediately, Lin Fan walked up to Miao Qiaomei and asked, "When was this high platform built?"

"It’s been a long time. This statue has always stood here, and the high platform is said to have existed since the statue was erected!" Miao Qiaomei said.

"So, all these years, nothing unusual has happened to this platform?" Lin Fan continued to ask.

Miao Qiaomei carefully recalled and then shook her head, saying, "It’s never happened. Lin Fan, what exactly are you trying to find?"

"Let me tell you this: under your Miao Race is hidden a massive ancient tomb, possibly the huge secret your ancestors have guarded!" Lin Fan said.

"What?" Miao Qiaomei was filled with shock upon hearing Lin Fan’s words!

Initially, she thought it was just a legend. After all, throughout the years, there had been no signs or anomalies suggesting anything like an ancient tomb beneath the Miao Race.

So, upon hearing Lin Fan’s words suddenly, how could Miao Qiaomei not be surprised!

She hurriedly asked, "Where is the entrance to this ancient tomb?"

"Right under this high platform, but I still don’t know the exact location of the entrance!" Lin Fan said.

"Under the high platform!"

Miao Qiaomei stared at the ground beneath her feet, looking hesitant!

"To find out if there’s really an ancient tomb under this platform, can’t we just dig?" Nie Lei suddenly interjected.

Miao Qiaomei immediately refused, "It’s impossible! This is where we worship our Miao deity. Digging here would be a disrespect to the deity, and I can’t decide alone. We need the consent of the entire Miao People!"

"Then let’s ask them quickly!" Nie Lei said anxiously.

"Many people are already resting, and we can only ask during tomorrow’s ritual!" Miao Qiaomei said.

"Don’t rush, take your time asking!"

Lin Fan nodded!

Now that the ancient tomb’s mystery had been found, Lin Fan didn’t need to hurry. The tomb was here and wouldn’t disappear. Next, he needed to figure out how to open the entrance to the ancient tomb!

After that, everyone returned to the village. Miao Qiaomei found a guest room for Lin Fan and his companions. It wasn’t as luxurious as in big cities, but it was relatively clean and without any clutter!

Miao Qiaomei took out a bundle wrapped in yellow paper from her chest, gave it to Lin Fan and the others, and said, "This is insect repellent powder. Sprinkle it around the bed and room entrance before sleeping to keep snakes and other creatures away!"

"Thanks!" Lin Fan took it and apologized.

"You’re welcome. You all rest first; I’ll go check on something!" Miao Qiaomei said.

"Wait!" Lin Fan’s voice suddenly came from behind!

Miao Qiaomei looked at Lin Fan curiously and asked, "Do you need anything else?"

"I want to visit the construction site." Lin Fan said.

After all, the buildings constructed for the Miao Race were Lin Fan’s work, so it was natural for him to visit them.

Miao Qiaomei readily agreed, "Sure, no problem!"

After Lin Fan set down his backpack, he gave Nie Lei and the others a few words of caution, telling them not to act impulsively, and then headed out of the room with Miao Qiaomei towards the village!

The buildings weren’t located inside the village as the village was small, but instead outside the village, down the slope where suitable land had been cleared for construction!

At this moment, one building was completed. Though not as stylish as others in the metropolitan areas nor as tall as the skyscrapers, these two towering buildings suddenly standing in the middle of nowhere brought great joy!

Another building was also under tense and rapid construction!

"Either you pay up, or I’ll beat you to death!"

Lin Fan and Miao Qiaomei had just arrived at the construction site when a loud shout rang in their ears!

"What’s going on?"

Lin Fan and Miao Qiaomei exchanged a glance, each seeing confusion in the other’s eyes!

Lin Fan quickly picked up his pace towards the construction site!

They saw dozens of workers who had stopped their tasks, gathering together, some holding shovels, others holding hammers!

No one was empty-handed!’

But in front of these people were a series of snakes, crazily flicking their tongues, ready to attack!

Behind the snakes was a dark-skinned young man, squatting on the ground, in front of whom lay a middle-aged man with closed eyes and a pale face, motionless like a corpse! ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

The site foreman, trembling, said, "We... we never touched your father. He just suddenly fainted when he walked here, and... this is the third time your father has fainted here. Each time you demand money... This... this is extortion!"

"I don’t care if it’s extortion or not. My father was knocked down by you and fainted, so I’m not concerned. Either you pay up, or I let these venomous snakes bite you all to death!" The dark-skinned young man said fiercely.

Seeing these venomous snakes flicking their tongues, the workers were all trembling!

If not for the high wages, who would want to come to such a remote place!

The foreman asked, "How much do you want?"

"Not much! Ten thousand will do!" The dark-skinned young man said greedily with a smile!
