Volume 1 Chapter 102: Pit of Stone Warriors

We squatted under the fireproof cloth for almost half an hour. When our legs started to feel numb, Mr. Cao opened a gap and looked outside.

"How about Master Cao, have those will-o'-the-wisps floated away?" I couldn't hold on any longer, so I asked anxiously, subconsciously wanting to stand up and move around.

Master Cao's face was ugly, and his tone was very low: "They haven't left, and all those will-o'-the-wisps have stopped outside, just like they stopped in the middle of the canyon when we came in just now."

After hearing this, the eldest sister also opened a gap to take a look. She remained silent and did not speak, as if she was thinking of something.

And I followed the gap opened by the elder sister and saw the scene outside. The will-o'-the-wisps were floating quietly in the air. Although there was no movement, we did not dare to make any big movements.

I'm afraid that the will-o'-the-wisp that was finally calmed down will be disturbed again.

But the current situation is very embarrassing. We can neither squat here nor move.

"There are planks on the iron ropes in front. You don't have to pass through them like you just did. You just have to find a way to avoid these will-o'-the-wisps." Master Cao said.

I looked at Master Cao in surprise. He was the last one in the team to come to the stone platform. As soon as we came over, we immediately covered the fireproof cloth on our heads. Even if I arrived before him, I didn’t have time to observe the surroundings.

In such an environment, I didn’t expect Master Cao to have memorized the entire environment around us in just ten seconds.

Butterfly nodded and said to us: "In fact, it is not difficult. The reason why these will-o'-the-wisps float is because there are too many of us...these will-o'-the-wisps themselves are very, very light. The white sand is in front of us, so it will definitely pass by here.

But when we arrived, the will-o'-the-wisps were very quiet, which means that if he moves here alone, he will not disturb the will-o'-the-wisps. We can avoid disturbing these will-o'-the-wisps by passing here one by one."

"There are thirty-six stone platforms in total. The average time for each person to pass is at least twenty minutes. There are eight of us. Without any mistakes, it will take three hours. The speed is too slow." The eldest sister frowned.

Sorry, I don't agree with this method.

I really want to refute Sister, although the time is a little slower, at least it is the safest method now.

Even if we don't plan to move forward now, it's no longer possible to go back the way we came.

The iron rope when we came was not like the iron rope ahead, with wooden boards on top. Moreover, the iron rope had been burned by the high temperature of the will-o'-the-wisp. If we go back the same way we came, the skin on our hands would be burned off.

"Boss, it actually won't take that long. Wennan, Wang Chuxiong (one of the guys) and I only spent about eight minutes on average walking the thirty-six stone platforms. It only took us two to survive."

Hours of time...This is the safest method at the moment."

Butterfly vowed to the eldest sister, and I also took the opportunity to persuade the eldest sister to pass by like this and stop trying to think of some quick but very dangerous ways to pass.

The eldest sister's face was uncertain. She seemed to be very sensitive about time. I don't know why she was so anxious. Is it because Baisha was in front of us and she was afraid that Baisha would take away all the things in the end?

But from the bottom of my heart, I feel that the eldest sister and the second brother have different fighting styles. The second brother only cares about money, and the eldest sister does not regard money as that important. So why is she afraid that Baisha will take away the treasure at the destination?

Could it be that she just wants something in it, and Baisha will most likely compete with her?

The more I think about it, the more likely it is.

The eldest sister weighed it for a few minutes and finally chose this seemingly safe method.

As the most skilled among our group, Butterfly took the lead and stepped onto the iron rope in front of us, making a creaking sound when she stepped on the wooden boards of the iron rope.

It makes people feel like the wooden board will break at any time.

Fortunately, she did not disturb any will-o'-the-wisps when she went out alone. They were floating quietly in the air, and their faint blue light illuminated the area very strangely.

Butterfly was really fast. It took her almost five minutes to walk across the entire stone platform.

Next is Wang Chuxiong, followed by the eldest sister, myself, Master Cao, Wen Nan, and the last two guys who don't know their names.

It was not difficult to pass, so it didn’t actually take everyone twenty minutes, and it basically took only ten minutes to reach the end safely.

We stood in the last pavilion, and in the center of the pavilion stood two stone statues of two of the seventy-two Disha.

After arriving here, the will-o'-the-wisps obviously decreased a lot, and I finally could see clearly what was in the concave oval mountain plate on the opposite side.

In fact, it is not a groove, but a very big pit!

Although we can't shine there with a flashlight, through the blue will-o'-the-wisps here, we can vaguely see countless standing figures in the big pit. At a glance, there are at least hundreds or thousands of them.

I was shocked, thinking that the big pit opposite was full of rice dumplings?

"My dear mother, what is that thing over there?" I couldn't help but ask, but as Wennan took out a signal gun and shot it in that direction, I couldn't help but said again: "Fuck...

..”

The dark shadows in the big pit are not rice dumplings, but a group of stone figurines, just like the Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses pit in Xi'an. The scale is no smaller than that of Xi'an. I even doubt that we can't see the big pit from our location.

The overall view, maybe the stone figurines inside are bigger than the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang!

Master Cao said: "If Old Man Chen sees this, he will die of excitement. He will become the archaeologist who discovered the second large stone figurine pit..."

When I mentioned Professor Chen, my mood suddenly sank. I didn't know if he, Gao Zheng and others had been found by the eldest sister's men.

"I didn't expect this tomb owner to be so capable. He could build a pit of stone figurines that is as good as the Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shihuang. Isn't this the ninth wonder of the world?" Wennan couldn't help but sigh.

The signal flare was extinguished not long after, and darkness returned to the large pit ahead.

"Get ready to go there. The tomb should be behind the pit of stone figurines."

Butterfly did not hesitate, followed the elder sister's words, and immediately passed the last iron rope. We also followed closely, but Master Cao suddenly shouted: "Run!"

When I looked back, I was scared out of my mind. I didn't know when all the will-o'-the-wisps behind us had gathered together and were floating towards us.

"It must have been the signal gun fired just now that alerted the will-o'-the-wisp... hurry up, hurry up, those things will burn down and we won't have ashes left!" I yelled and ran away.

After a few of us rushed to the other side, we hid directly behind the boulders. The will-o'-the-wisps stopped where we were standing before and no longer floated toward us.
Chapter completed!
