Chapter 411: 411
Chapter 411 It Isn’t A Grave?
“I smell the stench of a corpse . Let’s go there and have a look,” Gu Ning said .
“What? A corpse?” Hearing that, they were all surprised that someone had died here, but they had seen bodies a lot of times before, so none of them were scared .
After that, Li Maosong and his friends followed Gu Ning walking over .
When they stood in front of the body and saw its face, Li Maosong, and his friends were astonished . “Zhao Laoer!”
“Why did Zhao Laoer die here?”
“Is there really an ancient grave around here? Was he killed by his partners?”
Zhao Laoer was a gravedigger too, and he must have come here for the ancient grave after he had heard the news .
“Let’s search around his body,” Gu Ning said . Although she had already found the black hole, she couldn’t tell them right away in case it would arouse their suspicion .
Hearing that, they immediately started to search around, while Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to see what was inside the black hole .
The black hole was three meters ahead of the body, and there was a big rock blocking its entrance . Normally people wouldn’t know that there was something unusual about it .
The black hole was over a dozen meters deep, and it almost reached the bottom of the temple . At the end of it, there was a chamber which was five square-meters big, but it was empty .
Maybe other gravediggers had already taken all the stuff inside, so there was nothing left in it . However, no other tunnels were extending from the chamber . Was it just a normal grave? However, if it was a normal grave, there should be a coffin! Gravediggers wouldn’t steal a coffin .
Gu Ning looked deeper with her Jade Eyes and saw that something was wrong with the chamber . There was another chamber next to the wall of this chamber . And the wall was only a meter thick .
Although the second chamber was also empty, Gu Ning saw that a grave tunnel extended from it . It seemed that the first chamber was just a cover, and the gravediggers who had come here before them hadn’t known that there was more just next to the wall .
While nobody was looking, Gu Ning secretly moved the rock away and a third of the hole showed . “Oh, look! Here is a hole!” Gu Ning said like she just found it .
Li Maosong and his friends ran over at once and moved the rock together before he used his flashlight to look inside .
“This is a grave hole,” Li Maosong said .
“Let me get in first, and you can follow behind me,” Gu Ning said, then climbed into the hole . Everyone agreed . Gu Ning led the team so that she could protect them if anything bad happened . Gu Ning had promised to do so after all . When they climbed into the hole, Gu Ning told the last person to move the rock back to cover the hole to prevent others from finding it .
The hole was straight and was only a meter tall, so they had to squat when they were inside .
Gu Ning took out her night-luminescent pearl, and the black hole was lit up at once . Li Maosong’s and his friends’ flashlights became useless then .
Seeing Gu Ning’s night-luminescent pearl, Li Maosong and his friends were impressed again . However, they had no intention to steal it .
No person was 100% good or bad . It was illegal that they dug ancient graves, and it showed that they weren’t good people, but they wouldn’t murder others and knew how to be grateful . In that case, they were good people to some extent .
It all went well as they walked to the chamber, but there was no tunnel ahead .
“Well . ”
“There is no tunnel?”
“Isn’t this a grave?” Li Maosong and his friends were quite disappointed .
Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes and saw nothing dangerous in the second chamber behind the wall, so she asked Li Maosong and his friends, “Do you trust me? I have an idea . ”
They were struck dumb for a second, but they all knew that Gu Ning was talking about this grave . No matter what Gu Ning was going to do, they would follow her .
“Miss Gu, I’m willing to follow your lead no matter what you’re going to do next,” Li Maosong said . They now all regarded Gu Ning as their leader, and they would follow her lead, even if it was risky .
“Me too!” The other three men echoed .
“Very well . ” Gu Ning was satisfied . She then pointed at the wall before them . “Dig through that wall . ”
“No problem . ” They didn’t ask why, but took out tools and started to dig without delay . The four men were divided into two shifts to dig through the wall .
At the same time, Leng Shaoting called Gu Ning when he was free, but no one answered .
Leng Shaoting thought that Gu Ning must have gone to find the ancient grave, and he was worried . However, all he could do was wait until Gu Ning called him back .
Half an hour later, the one-meter thick wall was dug through . Li Maosong and his friends were very surprised when they discovered the second chamber . They couldn’t believe that Gu Ning was just lucky, but they knew that it wasn’t appropriate for them to ask further . If Gu Ning said that she only relied on her luck or instinct, then so be it .
However, the hole was too small for a person to get through, so Li Maosong and Zhao Jiangquan kept digging till the hole was big enough .
Another half an hour later, the hole was big enough for a person to crawl through .
There was no need to make a large hole, as long as it was big enough for them to get through .
This time, Gu Ning still moved in the front .
A short while later, they arrived at the second chamber . It was cold and damp inside because it had been closed for a long time, but there was no rotten smell in it like the last ancient grave .
The second chamber was empty, but there were grave tunnels at both sides . There would be the front door and the third chamber at the ends of the two grave tunnels .
“Let’s see which one is connected to the chamber,” Li Maosong said, and moved to the right grave tunnel, while Sun Chao moved to the left one .
Gu Ning, instead, directly used her Jade Eyes, and saw that the front door was on the left side, while the third chamber was on the right side . Nevertheless, she wouldn’t say it of course .
This grave consisted of three chambers, and people had to move through the second chamber to the third one .
“Let’s go to the right one!” Gu Ning said .
After a few minutes, they arrived at a rock door . “Let’s open it!”
“Sure,” Li Maosong said and went to push the rock door . Unfortunately, it was too heavy .
“Let me do it . ” Gu Ning walked forward, and Li Maosong stepped aside .
Gu Ning pushed the door with her normal strength but failed . Thus, she used her power and improved her strength .
