"Isn't it too far?" Song Wei asked with some hesitation.

The straight-line distance between here and the entrance where she first entered the tomb was more than two hundred meters, and although experts speculated that the scale of this tomb was large, Song Wei was not sure whether it was still the scope of the tomb under their feet.

After all, everything is just speculation of experts, and their expedition was forced to stop just beginning, and no one knows how large the scope of the tombs is and how they are distributed.

Compared with Song Wei's uncertainty, Xia Ruofei is somewhat sure.

Because in this location, the heat of the induction jade leaf is still very high, which means that the boundary stone is nearby, then there is no doubt that this place must still be the scope of that tomb.

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "My intuition tells me that there should be a harvest here!"

Song Wei had a speechless expression: "It's intuition again......"

"My instincts are quite accurate sometimes!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

This location is a depression, and it is far away from the patrolling security guards, so the two of them are much more relaxed than just now.

"Then did your intuition tell you how to proceed?" Song Wei asked with a smile.

Xia Ruofei stood up with a mysterious face, walked a few steps around here, then stomped with his foot, and said, "Just dig in from here!"

Song Wei was dumbfounded: "It's that simple?"

Xia Ruofei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Otherwise, since it's all luck, it's better to trust my instincts once!"

Song Wei was stunned for a long time, then said with a wry smile: "Okay!"

She is an archaeology major, and she has no clue in the face of this situation where there are almost no clues, since Xia Ruofei trusts his intuition so much, it is better to believe him once, otherwise you can't wander around this wilderness in the middle of the night!

The two unloaded the backpacks on their bodies and put them aside, and Song Wei took out the Luoyang shovel from her bag and skillfully assembled them together.

Xia Ruofei stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Leave this kind of physical work to me!"

Song Wei was not polite, and directly handed over the Luoyang shovel to Xia Ruofei.

In fact, this Luoyang shovel has two shovel heads, and now this small shovel head is mainly used for caving, taking the soil below, and judging whether there is a tomb below through the soil quality.

Xia Ruofei excavated without saying a word, Song Wei watched from the side, smiled and said, "The action is quite professional, you shouldn't have been to rob the tomb before, right?"

"Yes, and he has stolen the royal tomb!" Xia Ruofei said without raising his head.

"Bragging!" Song Wei said with a chuckle.

After a while, Xia Ruofei took some soil, Song Wei took the flashlight and turned it on to look at it seriously, and said with a surprised face: "It's really possible that there is a tomb down there!"

After speaking, Song Wei pointed to a piece of soil that Xia Ruofei took up and said: "Look, this is an obvious feature of Sanhe soil, and from the color and luster, it is still mixed with glutinous rice soup, and the specifications of this tomb are very high!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Do you trust my instincts now?"

Song Wei giggled and said, "The blind cat has touched the dead mouse! And if we rush to dig down from here, in case the tomb collapses, it will be dangerous, and it will really kill people!"

Tomb robbing is actually a high-risk industry with heavy physical strength, and it is common for people to accidentally die in the grave.

In the archaeological excavations that Song Wei has participated in, several times she has seen lying dead bones in the tomb, which are basically the bones of tomb robbers, who either died in it due to lack of oxygen or other unknown dangers, and may even be killed by their accomplices because of the uneven distribution of the spoils.

Xia Ruofei said: "Let's be careful, this tomb is so large, if there is no accident below, it should be a complete underground palace, and it will not collapse so easily." ”

Song Wei nodded, she also agreed with Xia Ruofei's point of view, so she said, "That...... Let's just try to dig down?"

"Of course!" Xia Ruofei said.

They have already come to this point, and the sensing jade leaves emit a scorching aura all the time, no matter whether there is danger below, Xia Ruofei will definitely continue.

Song Wei didn't say anything, and directly took out another larger shovel head and replaced it, and then silently handed it to Xia Ruofei.

This shovel head is specially used to dig holes, and it is much better than ordinary shovels.

Of course, with the development of technology, many tomb robbers now use technological equipment, such as single-person knapsack drilling machines, etc., which is more efficient.

Xia Ruofei took the Luoyang shovel and began to dig at the location where he had just drilled the hole.

He has a lot of strength, and his physical strength is also very good, and he has also trained the excavation of individual bunkers when he was in the army before, and there is no problem with his skills, so his speed is naturally very fast.

After a while, a round hole about 70 centimeters in diameter appeared.

Xia Ruofei kept digging deeper, while Song Wei gave him a flashlight on the side, and the division of labor between the two was very clear.

After digging down about two meters, Xia Ruofei was already in the cave, and Song Wei was almost lying at the entrance of the cave, reaching out to illuminate Xia Ruofei.

This hole is not completely vertical, but digs straight down first, and begins to dig diagonally down to a depth of about half a meter, so in fact, Song Wei's flashlight does not play a big role.

But she doesn't think it's good to be idle, and she always wants to do something.

At this moment, Song Wei heard a "ding" sound from below, which was obviously different from the sound of digging just now, and she hurriedly asked, "Ruofei, what's wrong?"

Xia Ruofei said below: "Song Wei, you hand me the flashlight!"

Because Xia Ruofei had already gone deeper, the voice came out a little muffled, but Song Wei was still quite clear, she quickly took out a rope from her bag and tied the flashlight, and then went down.

After a while, Xia Ruofei retreated back along the entrance of the cave, he sat down at the entrance of the cave with both hands, and said to Song Wei: "I should have dug up the tomb bricks! ”

After speaking, Xia Ruofei rummaged in the mountaineering bag next to him, took out a bag of tools and put it in his pocket, which contained small crowbars, shovels, etc., all prepared for the limited space underneath.

He thought about it, took out a roll of plastic sheeting from his bag, stuffed it into his pocket, and said, "I'm going down!"

Song Wei felt nervous for no reason, and she grabbed Xia Ruofei's arm.

Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Weiqiao's face was hot, and she said, "It's nothing...... You...... Be careful!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'm not a reckless person, once something is wrong, I will withdraw immediately! That's right......"

Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei remembered something, he took out a black bag from his mountaineering bag and handed it to Song Wei, saying, "I'll pull the rope in a while, and you will go down the pipe inside!"

For the sake of safety, when Xia Ruofei was working underneath, he had a rope tied around his waist, and in case of any accident, Song Wei could still drag him up.

Of course, whether the delicate Miss Song can drag Xia Ruofei or not, then two things to say.

Song Wei opened it and looked at it, revealing a look of surprise: "Snake tube endoscope!

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Isn't this prepared! Safety first!"

Song Wei was also a lot relieved when she saw this, nodded and said, "Then you go down! I'll wait for your signal!"

The industrial-grade snake tube endoscope allows people to see the situation inside directly without going down to the tomb in person, which is equivalent to a second pair of eyes, which can avoid some unknown risks to a large extent.

Xia Ruofei grinned at Song Wei and went into the hole again.

He quickly came to the place he had just excavated, where the earth had been cleared by him, and in front of him were slightly curved tomb bricks.

The bricks are tightly seamed together, and the construction process is quite clever.

Xia Ruofei took out the military dagger directly from the Lingtu space, inserted it into the tiny gap forcefully, and then carefully prying.

Gradually, the tomb bricks began to loosen.

As the gap increased, Xia Ruofei changed into a small crowbar and pried open a whole piece of tomb bricks.

After taking out one piece, the rest was easy, and soon all the tomb bricks in front of him were pried off.

However, what surprised Xia Ruofei was that the bottom of the tomb bricks was not a hollow tomb, but still a tamped triple soil.

This burial chamber should have been tamped with triple clay from top to bottom, and there was a layer of tomb bricks in the middle, similar to sandwich biscuits.

Xia Ruofei didn't know what to pay attention to in such a design, but he didn't want to delve into it so much, since it was still Sanhe soil, he would continue to dig down.

After digging more than forty centimeters, Xia Ruofei finally felt a lightness in his hand, and he suddenly showed a hint of joy, he knew that he should have dug through.

However, thinking that the tomb might be filled with that cold unknown toxin, Xia Ruofei's expression was also slightly condensed, and he immediately took out the plastic sheet that had been prepared from his body, plugged the small hole he had just dug up, and then pulled the rope around his waist.

Song Wei on top had been waiting for a long time, and when she felt the shaking of the rope, she hurriedly lowered the snake tube endoscope.

Xia Ruofei put the endoscope into the tomb along the small hole, and then crawled out along the hole.

"How's it going?" Song Wei asked.

"It's been dug through!" Xia Ruofei said, "Let's take a look at the following situation first, and then decide whether to go in or not!"

"Hmm!" Song Wei nodded heavily.

Xia Ruofei took out the laptop from his bag, as well as the control end of the endoscope, and skillfully connected it.

The snake tube borescope is battery-powered, and soon the bottom image appears on the laptop screen.

Song Wei naturally came over to watch it with great anticipation.

The infrared camera captures no color, but you can still see the tomb underneath more clearly.

The place that was dug just now seemed to be a passage, about two meters high, and there were two rows of sculptures standing on both sides of the long corridor, which looked a little eerie.

Xia Ruofei controlled the snake tube endoscope to shoot at both ends of the passage, and did not see any danger, although it felt gloomy, but it was very quiet.

So he called up another interface on the computer - a sensor was integrated at the top of the snake tube endoscope, which could detect the air inside the tomb.

The data shows that everything is normal, except for the low oxygen content, there is no harmful gas content exceeding the standard,

Song Wei and Xia Ruofei glanced at each other and asked, "Do you want to go down?"

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Down! But ......"

"If you go down, I'll go down!" Song Wei didn't wait for Xia Ruofei to finish speaking, and said first.

Xia Ruofei said helplessly: "Okay, I'll do some finishing things, and then let's go down together!"

Xia Ruofei flew down to the cave, first put the snake tube endoscope up, and then expanded the hole to ensure that people could pass through, and then he retreated outside, while trimming the entire thief hole, until he exited the cave.

Then, Xia Ruofei carefully transported the excavated soil to a small pond not far away to discard, and tried to dispose of all the traces at the entrance of the cave.

Then he broke some more branches, and prepared to go down and cover the hole.

It was originally a depression, surrounded by dense forests and inaccessible people, and there was a small dirt bag next to the hole, which was covered by tree branches, so it was difficult to find that a hole had been dug out of the place even if someone passed by.

Song Wei watched Xia Ruofei do things, and couldn't help but smile and said, "If I didn't know your resume, I would really doubt whether you are a professional tomb robber!"

Xia Ruofei shrugged his shoulders and said, "At our level, everything we do is professional!"

Song Wei chuckled and said, "Great expert, shouldn't we go down?"

Xia Ruofei said seriously: "There is one last thing!"

With that, he took out the rope from his bag, tied it to a tree not far away, and after testing its sturdiness, he slipped it into the hole.

Of course, he also used weeds and branches to cover the part of the rope on the ground.

"This is our life rope!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I will have to rely on it to get out when the time comes!"

"Let's go!" Song Wei was a little impatient.

"Don't worry!" Xia Ruofei said, "Put on the equipment!"

After speaking, Xia Ruofei took out two sets of protective clothing from the treasure chest-like bag, although it was not the most professional kind, but it could avoid exposing the skin to the air, plus the gas mask equipped, it should be able to avoid most of the dangers.

As for whether the gas mask could filter the unknown toxin, Xia Ruofei was not too worried, with him, that kind of toxin didn't want to get close to them at all.

This protective suit and gas mask are also to a large extent to make Song Wei more at ease.

Song Wei also secretly admired Xia Ruofei's carefulness.

The two quickly changed into protective suits and put on gas masks.

Xia Ruofei threw the mountaineering bag into the cave first, and then said to Song Wei: "I'll go first, you follow me, remember to cover the hole with branches!"

"Got it!" Song Wei said calmly.

Xia Ruofei got into the cave, and after a while, Song Wei heard Xia Ruofei's voice from the headset: "Song Wei, come down!"

Because they were wearing gas masks, the two were also equipped with intercom equipment for the convenience of communication.

So Song Wei also went into the hole, half of her body was exposed, and while slowly going down, she used the branches collected by Xia Ruofei to cover the entrance of the cave.

Following the hole dug by Xia Ruofei, Song Wei soon came to the bottom, and her feet had already touched Xia Ruofei's shoulder.

So Xia Ruofei said: "You hold on to the rope, I'll go in first, just follow down, don't worry, I'll catch you below!"

"Hmm!" Song Wei clutched the rope tightly.

Then, she felt Xia Ruofei below move, and then there was a bang in her ears, it should be Xia Ruofei jumping in.

Song Wei didn't hesitate, she continued to go down the rope, and fell directly under the action of gravity after stepping on the air.

She didn't panic at all, because she knew that Xia Ruofei would definitely protect her below.

Sure enough, the next moment she was tightly hugged by a pair of strong hands, and then gently landed on the ground.
