Chapter 93

After a day of rest, everyone packed up their things and prepared to enter the tomb on the second day after they arrived on Earth.

Although it was called an ancient tomb, because the tomb was built underground, everyone could only see the entrance of a thick stone door and nothing else.

This stone door was the same as the pictures they had seen on the spaceship. It was ancient and mysterious. Most people in the galaxy did not recognize the carvings on it, including the ancient culture professor, Nangong Xuan.

However, Gu Bai recognized each and every one of them. After so many missions, he had learned more and more things. Other than the dragon totem at the top of the carvings, the rest of the carvings were all kinds of legendary evil monsters that represented darkness.

The words "Death to Trespassers" on the door seemed to carry endless deterrence. The moment the door was opened, a bone-piercing chill spread out from inside.

Especially in front of the dark and endless tunnel, there was a ferocious stone statue of Tao Tie placed in the middle. It seemed to be a warning and deterrence. In the darkness, it gave people a sense of fear for no reason.

No one said anything, but they all shivered unconsciously. The ancient ancestors of Earth were too great. The sense of deterrence from the lifelike stone statue was not something any machine could carve.

"Everyone, don't worry. The ancient people are very superstitious. This is just a method they use to deter tomb robbers. Even if there are traps in the tomb, they are just some mercury poisoned arrows. With our current technology, we can deal with them. After all, the ancient people were more backward than the ancient people of Earth …"

When everyone held their breath, Nangong Xuan walked out and explained to everyone confidently.

Hearing her words, everyone's inexplicable fear dissipated. No one in the galaxy had a deeper understanding of ancient Earth culture than Miss Nangong. In short, what she said was right.

And what she said was not wrong. With the advanced technology of the galaxy, there was no need to be afraid of the crude traps of the ancient people.

The leader nodded and smiled. "Miss Nangong is right. With our current technology, there is no need to worry about ancient Earth's traps. Now, let's go in …"

"Wait." At this moment, Gu Bai spoke again.

"What's wrong with you again?"

Obviously, everyone was very impatient with him. What did this kid want again?

"Look, there are words here …"

Gu Bai did not care about the crowd's attitude. His calm and playful expression disappeared. He passed through the crowd and walked to the front of the Taotie statue that was guarding the entrance.

His heart was heavy like never before. His eyes gazed at the chest of the Tao Tie statue. There was a row of characters on it, which was different from the Demon Clan's carvings on the stone door. This time, it was a very ordinary ancient language of the Earth. It was indeed the golden language of the Western Zhou Dynasty more than three thousand years ago.

In other words, this ancient tomb was indeed built more than three thousand years ago. However, from the testing equipment and on-site estimation, it was impossible to tell when this ancient tomb was built. It was contradictory.

Gu Bai's heart tightened. He had a hunch that this ancient tomb was not as simple as it seemed. The True Dragon of the righteous royal family, the Taotie ghost face relief that represented the evil forces of darkness, and the powerful energy protection. What kind of secret was hidden in this tomb?

At this time, the others also saw the words and walked over. Nangong Xuan walked at the front. She was the 'best' ancient language research professor in the Galaxy. Naturally, everyone let her take the lead.

However, with Nangong Xuan's limited knowledge of traditional Chinese characters, she wouldn't be able to translate it even if she knew that it was an ancient language. She could only pretend that it was too ancient and shake her head.

Even a transmigrator like her, who came from Earth, could not recognize it, let alone the other people in the Galaxy. They could not help but exclaim, "Our ancestor is too mysterious!" Then, they prepared to copy it and study it.

Gu Bai did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"There's no need to study it. These words are very simple. It's another warning. It means that those who want to enter the tomb should place their palms here to test it. Only after obtaining the tomb's owner's approval can they enter. Otherwise, only death awaits …"

The tomb's owner had probably expected that someone would enter and had made preparations beforehand. He reminded the intruder again and again out of kindness.

"Hmph, what nonsense are you talking about again?

How could you know something that even Miss Nangong could not translate? "

Everyone snorted. No one believed him at all.

"That's right. This love-struck fool has no self-awareness at all!" Everyone on the Galaxy Web agreed.

"Won't you know if I'm talking nonsense when you see it?

Look, there's a palm-shaped groove here. That's where the test will take place … "

Gu Bai could not be bothered to argue about the delay in entering the tomb. He gestured for everyone to look at the base of the stone sculpture. There was a palm-shaped groove. Based on the words, it was not difficult to guess that this was where the test would take place.

As he spoke, he placed his hand on the groove. After a few seconds, a red light shot out from the groove and entered between his eyebrows, leaving a red mark.

"This, this …"

Everyone widened their eyes in disdain. Due to the live broadcast, the people on the Galaxy Web also stared at the red mark on Gu Bai's forehead with wide eyes. This was unbelievable!

Even if they did not believe it, they could not deny the existence of such an unscientific thing.

"Everyone, come and try …"

While everyone was still in a daze, Han Lijun spoke up and was the first to take the test. When he was not facing Gu Bai, his cold and strict general persona was perfect.

With him taking the lead, the others followed suit even if they were hesitant. However, they soon realized that no one else had a red mark like Gu Bai.

Was he an exception, or did the owner of the tomb only allow him to enter?

This thought involuntarily appeared in everyone's minds. Even Gu Bai himself began to speculate.

"Everyone, don't be scared. This must be the owner of the tomb deliberately mystifying things to prevent tomb robbers. There's so many of us, there's no need to worry …"

After a few seconds of silence, Nangong Xuan spoke up again.

"Yes, Miss Nangong is right. Let's go in quickly …"

Everyone nodded in agreement. The discovery of the tomb was too important. They would never back down because of such a small threat. Nangong Xuan's words gave everyone some confidence.

Gu Bai naturally knew that he would not be able to persuade them. He was not a soft-hearted person. Since they did not listen to him, he would not risk his life to stop them.

However, they had Han Lijun with them. Before the man returned to the galaxy, he was no different from an ordinary person. He did not have much power.

After some thought, Gu Bai took out a handful of defensive jades that he had made in advance from his storage bag.

"I know that you won't believe anything I say, but don't blame me for not warning you. This tomb is more dangerous than you think. I have some defensive jades here. Take them if you want …"

After he finished speaking, he handed the jades to the soldiers beside him.

Although no one believed him, they did not reject him because of the strange situation in the tomb and the fact that it would not be a problem to hang something around their necks.

Only an arrogant-looking young man didn't want it. He even snorted disdainfully, "Nonsense!"

Gu Bai ignored him and did not answer. Instead, he took out a different piece of jade and hung it around Han Lijun's neck.

"Eh, why is the general's different from ours …" Someone took the jade and looked at it curiously.

"Nonsense, he's my man!"

Gu Bai rolled his eyes with a disdainful expression, instantly breaking the serious atmosphere. Everyone was speechless and shut their mouths. This arrogant look was really asking for a beating!

However, the arrogant general enjoyed it very much. He nodded again and said, "Yes, my baby is right …"

"…"

Everyone was speechless. F * ck, I've had enough of these two naïve idiots!

Everything was ready. No one wasted any more time. Nangong Xuan, the director, Han Lijun, and Gu Bai led the way in.

The passageway of the tomb was very narrow. It could only accommodate one person. Everyone followed in a line. Because it was filmed by artificial intelligence, there were only ten archaeologists, ten soldiers, and the extra Gu Bai.

When everyone walked into the tomb, they could clearly feel that the temperature around them had dropped. It was very cold. Fortunately, the clothes of the people in the galaxy could adjust the temperature, so they did not feel uncomfortable. They just felt an inexplicable sense of fear.

"Bang!"

When the last person entered the tomb, the tomb door suddenly closed automatically for some reason, giving everyone a shock.

Gu Bai's heart sank. He could acutely feel that the surroundings were covered by a force similar to a barrier. The others did not feel anything and were focused on the things inside the tomb.

Nangong Xuan once again explained to everyone in a profound manner, "Don't be afraid, it's just a mechanism …" She instantly comforted everyone and made them look at her with admiration.

Because no one knew what a mechanism was, they had never heard of it before.

"Miss Nangong is really amazing. She even knows about mechanisms …"

Everyone sighed in admiration and then continued to move forward without paying much attention to it.

The commander outside was also shocked. He went forward to pry open the tomb door again, but found that the tomb that could be opened before seemed to be connected to the entire underground. No matter how hard he tried, it could not be opened. Also, the communication device was malfunctioning. He could not contact the people inside!

"Quickly contact the Emperor of the Capital Planet for instructions …"

The commander did not dare to act rashly and quickly ordered someone to contact the higher-ups for instructions.

When the King received the news, he ordered that the tomb door be opened as soon as possible. However, it was useless. The detection device sounded the alarm. The entire tomb was wrapped in a powerful energy and sealed. It was so strong that even a space bomb would be useless.

At this moment, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation. The King did not dare to say anything, and the livestream could not be turned off for the time being. This was because the only way to turn off the recording device was through the artificial intelligence system.

Therefore, they could only continue to think of a solution while accompanying the citizens who did not know the situation to watch the livestream. Now, they could only observe the situation from the images captured by the artificial intelligence system.

The galactic netizens did not know the situation for the time being. They were still watching the ancient and mysterious building totems in the tomb with great interest. They were amazed by the greatness of their ancestors …
