Free Web NovelChapter 1153: Chapter 1152: Entering the Ancient Tomb
The stone thrown by Lin Fan had been gone a long time, yet there was no echo at all, which gives an idea of just how deep this cave opening below is!
"Boss, what should we do?" Nie Lei asked.
"Now that the cave entrance has appeared, we can’t waste time any longer, we must go down quickly!" Lin Fan said.
"I’ll go down with you!" Miao Qiaomei said.
"What about your village if you leave?" Lin Fan asked.
"No problem! This is our Miao Race’s territory, outsiders can’t just come in easily! Moreover, if there’s truly an ancient tomb below, then this tomb is built beneath us Miao Race, it’s a secret we guard, there will definitely be times you need my help!" Miao Qiaomei explained.
Lin Fan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright! Then come down with me, but if there’s danger, return the way you came immediately, don’t follow us into peril!"
"Don’t worry, I’m aware!" Miao Qiaomei said.
Immediately, Lin Fan instructed Nie Lei, "Start working!"
Understanding Lin Fan’s intention, Nie Lei quickly set down his backpack and opened it, taking out tough ropes from inside!
Nie Lei and others fastened the ropes to a sturdy object, while the other ends were hooked onto themselves!
Meanwhile, Nalan Qiankun took out a few night vision goggles, which could see relatively clearly in the dark!
Fully equipped, Lin Fan hesitated no longer, telling Nie Lei and others, "After going down, everyone gather together, don’t spread out!"
"Got it!"
Nie Lei and the others nodded heavily!
Then, the group hesitated no more, slowly leaping down into the cave!
Below was so pitch-black, unable to see one’s hand in front, giving the sensation of entering hell!
Fortunately, Lin Fan and the others had night vision goggles, enabling them to make out some things!
"Is everyone down?" Lin Fan asked loudly.
"Everyone’s in place!" Nie Lei reported!
"Descend immediately!" Lin Fan shouted, taking the lead to descend below!
Initially, Lin Fan and others felt a bit cold, but as they descended further, it became colder, like arriving at a glacier, their bodies couldn’t help but shiver!
Moreover, the deeper they went, the darker it got, so much that even night vision goggles weren’t much help!
"Switch on flashlights!" Lin Fan hastily ordered, promptly switching his flashlight on first!
The others didn’t dare hesitate, quickly doing likewise!
With several flashlight beams converging, they barely brightened the area within five meters ahead!
After descending a dozen meters more, they saw dense fog appear!
"There’s thick fog below, everyone be careful, don’t spread out, if any danger arises, scream and retreat!" Lin Fan cautioned everyone!
"Understood!"
The group shouted in response!
Then, Lin Fan took the lead, plunging into the smoke!
Entering inside gave a feeling of being wrapped in smog, the flashlight beam couldn’t reach far, making surrounding objects hard to discern!
Lin Fan felt his heart in his throat, not daring to be careless, holding a flashlight in one hand and a gun at his waist in the other, ready to shoot if danger appeared!
He didn’t know how vast the smoke was, nor how many meters he had descended!
With time passing minute by minute, Lin Fan eventually found the objects ahead becoming visible in their blur, realizing he had exited the smoke!
Shoo, shoo, shoo~
Here, piercing wind sounds rang constantly, Lin Fan felt himself swaying with the furious wind, the cold was biting, and sharp, leaving painful burning on the face!
Lin Fan dared not be careless, quickly turning and shouting, "Is everyone here? Call your number!"
"Number one!" Nie Lei shouted!
"Number two!" Nalan Qiankun shouted!
"Number three..." Shunzi shouted!
"Number four..."
"Number five..."
Miao Qiaomei’s voice chimed in too!
Knowing everyone was safe, Lin Fan was relieved, thinking to himself, "It’s been almost two hours since entering the cave, around here the wind appears, indicating we’re probably close to the bottom!"
"Everyone be careful and continue descending!"
After Lin Fan shouted, he again took the lead!
They seemed to cut through the sharp cold wind like riding wind and waves, after about another hour!
Lin Fan felt the wind stopping, and it wasn’t as cold as before here, though not very warm, it was bearable, almost like a different world compared to before!
"We’re probably very close to the bottom now!"
Lin Fan said excitedly, increasing his descent speed!
Soon, Lin Fan felt his feet touch a solid surface!
Wary, Lin Fan stepped hard on it, bouncing up with force, fearing any danger below!
However, he cautiously waited for a moment, finding no danger, finally putting his feet firmly on the spot!
Then, Lin Fan stood the flashlight up, and using night vision goggles, discovered the ground beneath him was a black-brown rocky surface, surrounded by high stone walls, with a deep tunnel straight ahead!
"Boss, have we reached the bottom?" Nie Lei asked uncertainly.
"If I’m not mistaken, it’s so!" Lin Fan replied.
"Damn! Is this the ancient tomb? I’ve read many tomb-raiding novels, but first time entering a tomb, spirits and gods, please no demons and ghosts!" Nie Lei prayed like a sorcerer!
Lin Fan was cautious, yet excited, firstly, approaching the strongest secrets left by the Supreme Ancestor, secondly, the first time entering an ancient tomb!
"Boss, look over here, this thing seems like a mechanism!" Then, Nalan Qiankun’s voice was heard!
"Don’t act rashly!"
Lin Fan urgently cautioned, quickly walking to Nalan Qiankun’s side!
Raising his flashlight, indeed, he saw a protruding stone on a high stone wall, shaped like mechanisms depicted in ancient tomb films!
