While Zhou Sheng listened to Hu Bayi's words, he was thinking deeply. The Mai family is the most mixed group in the tomb robbing world, with people from all walks of life mixed in.
You can even buy an identity by just paying a little money.
They are inherited from Patriarch Mai. There are very few inheritances within the sect, but they are indeed a branch of the tomb robbing world.
"I didn't expect that people from Mai Yi's group would also come. It seems that there are more people to deal with." Zhou Sheng said to himself, his expression becoming more solemn.
"I guessed your identity from the moment I saw you on the plane. I thought you were also invited by Mr. Qiu, but I didn't want you to come in by yourself."
"You, Mai, are not as capable as I am to touch Colonel Jin. If you act alone, you will die miserably. If you cooperate with us, we will leave you some soup."
"Otherwise, Mr. Qiu's men are all carrying guns and ammunition, and if they encounter them, you will definitely die!" Hu Bayi continued.
Use soft grinding and hard soaking methods to deceive the stone pillar.
After listening to Hu Bayi's words, Zhou Sheng, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly felt speechless.
"Who did he think was me?"
Zhou Sheng opened the peephole and took a look, and found Hu Bayi slowly approaching with a crossbow in hand.
In front of Hu Bayi, there is only one stone pillar.
Zhou Sheng:……
"It seems that he hasn't slept for a long time, is confused, and has hallucinations."
Zhou Sheng probably understood and guessed that Hu Bayi was hallucinating.
Zhou Sheng ignored him, left through the secret passage of the tomb guardian, went to the other side of the tomb passage, exchanged some points for firecrackers, then lit them and threw them out.
"Pa bang bang..."
The sound of firecrackers went off loudly again, but this time only Hu Bayi could hear it.
When Hu Ba heard a loud noise from the other side, he woke up instantly and saw clearly that there was only a stone pillar in front of him, not a person.
"Hallucination?"
After Hu Bayi finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the explosion.
After Zhou Sheng threw the firecrackers, he hid in the secret passage and did not leave.
After waiting for a moment, he saw Hu Bayi rushing out, holding a crossbow and shooting randomly.
"Why is Hu Bayi alone?" Zhou Sheng was a little confused.
After Hu Bayi shot a crossbow arrow, he turned on the flashlight and looked around.
There was no one around. Where did the explosion come from?
"I know you haven't gone far, and you can hear what I said."
Hu Bayi looked around and saw no movement, so he continued: "Tomb robbing, win-win cooperation, how long do you think you can stop us?"
"Mr. Qiu is equipped with a lot of weapons this time. When you show up, you will die!" After Hu Bayi finished speaking, he returned to the tomb passage to guard.
As long as they guard the tomb passage, they can sleep peacefully and peacefully.
When Zhou Sheng was in the secret passage, he could probably guess that the tomb robbers all wore earplugs, and no matter how much noise he made, he could not wake them up.
"The sound doesn't work, what about the water and fire?"
Zhou Sheng looked at the flowing water and fireballs in the storage ring.
One point for ten liters of water, one point for one fireball.
The tomb passage is narrow and airtight, and water flowing in will not be absorbed by the gaps.
Zhou Sheng directly spent two points to buy twenty liters of water.
Then he found a place and poured the water in.
In the tomb passage, water gradually poured in, and Hu Bayi, who was standing guard, noticed it immediately.
"Water? Ha!"
Hu Bayi took out some sandbags and bottles from his backpack and blocked both sides of the tomb passage.
The short old man got up from the ground, holding a black stick in his left hand, and went out to look for someone.
Zhou Sheng hid in the secret passage and looked at the old man who came out, his eyes slightly narrowed and he looked straight at him.
His intuition told him that the old man was very powerful and the aura exuding from him was very strong.
The old man seemed to notice someone looking at him, holding the top of the black stick with his right hand and the middle of the black stick with his left hand.
Zhou Sheng immediately lurked and looked away, no longer observing the short old man.
The short old man walked around in a circle, then closed his eyes and stood there to feel his surroundings.
Once someone peeks at him, he can react immediately.
And he was less than two meters away from Zhou Sheng. Under the wall behind him was the secret passage.
Zhou Sheng squatted on the ground, neither looking up nor leaving.
He knew that the old man was not far outside, and if he made any noise while walking, the other party would hear him, no matter how slight it was.
His perception ability is very strong!
This is a tough fight, I have to pay attention, it is best to find a way to kill him... Zhou Sheng thought to himself, and slowly spent time with the old man.
Both Zhou Sheng and the old man's breathing was weak and prolonged, both waiting for the other to leave first.
The old man could sense that the person spying on him was nearby, but he couldn't tell where he was. He could only wait for the other person to move first and make a small sound, and then kill him with his sword.
One of them stood and the other squatted, keeping their posture unchanged, both of them were very patient.
"No, if time delays, the tomb robber will have a good sleep and replenish his energy." Zhou Sheng said secretly, if time delays, it will be very detrimental to him.
As for the old man, he didn't know if there was anyone in the secret, but he wouldn't leave. He would just stand here and watch, and go wherever there was a sound.
"Tick tock, tick tock..."
More than ten minutes later, the sound of dripping water came from the entrance to the tomb passage.
The short old man bowed and ran over, making a sword-drawing gesture, very fast.
Zhou Sheng took this opportunity to leave quickly and ran to the other side of the tomb passage.
When the short old man ran to the door of the tomb, he saw the dripping stone pillars and no one was here.
He turned back suddenly, looked at the place where he once stood, and glanced up and down.
"Is there really no one, or did he run away?" the short old man whispered, walked into the tomb passage, sat cross-legged next to Mr. Qiu, closed his eyes and waited quietly.
"Buzz..."
A ball of fire suddenly appeared on the other side of the tomb passage, attacking with a burning sensation.
The short old man opened his eyes in an instant, walked over in a few steps, pulled out his samurai sword and cut the fireball open.
Behind the fireball, there was another section of fireball, but it was still cut and blocked by the short old man.
Although the fireball cut by him stopped rolling, it was still burning.
The short old man used his gangster power to knock out all the cut fireballs, and then the intense burning sensation dissipated.
"In front of me, any attack is useless." The short old man said gloomily.
He is a strong person who has acquired the Dzogchen Perfection. Unless an innate master comes, he is the strongest among the ancient tombs.
And Zhou Sheng, who had taken the Nine Transformations Golden Pill, only had perfect strength the day after tomorrow.
The short old man raised his burning gaze and glanced outside the passage, but still found nothing. The fireball appeared very suddenly.
When he saw no one was around, he sat down directly, closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the flames burning.
Zhou Sheng, who was hiding in the secret passage, had an increasingly cold look in his eyes.
Judging from the old man's actions this time, Zhou Sheng basically concluded that he was no ordinary person.
He is the oldest, but among these tomb robbers, the old man's strength is definitely the top one.
"He... seems to be Mr. Qiu's bodyguard." Zhou Sheng whispered.
"Who is Mr. Qiu? Even if he can buy firearms, he actually found a master to be his personal bodyguard."
Zhou Sheng became more and more curious about Mr. Qiu's identity.
"But... it's not over yet. Even if you give up your points, I won't let you sleep well!" Zhou Sheng said solemnly.
