Chapter 1346 - 1346 They Run Away Because of My Handsome Appearance!

“Hehe…”

Liu Qing and the expedition team members from the provincial institute of archaeology looked greatly shocked. Seeing this, several female students couldn’t help sniggering quietly.

Compared to the girls who were so reserved, the male students laughed out loud.

This was a massive slap in the face.

As soon as Liu Qing finished speaking, the mysterious master demonstrated his tremendous strength on the spot. Liu Qing felt greatly humiliated by his action.

It was indeed such an embarrassment.

“What did I tell you? Isn’t he amazing?”

Lu Jinzhou said to the leader of the archaeological team.

“Okay, I agree. Let’s take him to the site of the tomb.”

The archaeological captain said without hesitation.

That kind of shocked feeling was beyond description.

“Okay.”

Lu Jinzhou laughed and said, “It’s getting late. Let’s go.”

The archaeological members were roused from their dazed states and walked to the tomb after the captain.

Many students followed them.

In the crowd, Liu Qing from the provincial martial arts team had his eyes trained on Fang Qiu. He did not hide his admiration for Fang Qiu’s strength. He even moved purposefully through the crowd to approach Fang Qiu. It seemed he wanted to talk to him.

But as soon as he got closer…

Fang Qiu walked quickly to the front.

After a while…

Led by Lu Jinzhou and the archaeological captain, the group crossed two mountains and reached a gap between the mountains.

They said this place was a mountain gap, but it looked more spacious than a gap. However, it was a little narrow to be called a valley.

As soon as they arrived at the site…

Fang Qiu saw the temporary tent on the open ground set up by the provincial archaeological research team. There were computers and several unknown devices inside the tent. Five meters away from it was a shattered cave entrance that was the height of a person.

“That’s the great tomb.”

Lu Jinzhou pointed to the cave entrance and said, “That place was originally a small hillside. We came here yesterday, looked around, but found nothing. When the students and I walked past that hillside, it suddenly collapsed and revealed a layer of slabs. When I saw that, I knew we found the big tomb.”

As he spoke…

They arrived at the tomb gate.

Like in the TV series, the tomb’s entrance was above the ground. The gate was made up of two slabs, just like the entrance to the basement.

A large pile of red soil and several pieces of gravel were scattered around the great tomb’s entrance.

This place must have just been cleaned up.

Since the gate was opened, Fang Qiu could see a black wire-like object stretching into the tomb.

“How is it? How’s the air quality inside?”

The voice of the archaeological captain came to his ears.

“Things are quite normal.”

A reply came from the tent. “You can go down now.”

“Alright. Everyone, get your equipment ready. Let’s prepare to enter the tomb.”

The archaeological captain came over with a headlamp.

“Here you are.”

Lu Jinzhou also put on a headlamp. Then he took a small high-performance flashlight from his bag and handed it to Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu accepted it.

“Everyone, stay close. Don’t touch anything inside. Just take a look.”

The archaeological captain cautioned everyone and took the lead to jump down.

It was only three to four meters high from the entrance to the ground. Thus, they did not need ropes.

Lu Jinzhou jumped into the entrance.

Fang Qiu also jumped into the cave.

After all of them went down…

The archaeological members walked to the front to clear the way.

Fang Qiu also stayed at the front and walked with Lu Jinzhou. He followed closely behind the members of the provincial archaeological team. On the way, he observed the passage.

This square passage was quite bleak and it gave off an uneasy vibe.

However…

Except for the coldness, there was nothing special about it.

Just like that…

Everyone used their flashlights to illuminate their surroundings and walked into the tomb.

“Stop.”

...

Before they had walked some distance inside, Fang Qiu suddenly stopped and said, “There’s something ahead!”

As soon as he said that…

Everyone stopped in their tracks at the same time, shocked by Fang Qiu’s shout.

“Could… could there be zombies?”

A student asked nervously.

“Zombies? You must have watched too many episodes of the Time Raiders, right?”

Another student scoffed.

“In Time Raiders, I saw experts venture into a vast underground world to explore its hidden mysteries. But in Time Raiders, there’s no one as powerful as him.”

Shocked, the student pointed to Fang Qiu and said, “Since such a mighty master is here with us, there must be terrifying zombies in this tomb.”

Everyone heard that.

That was indeed the case.

...

It was possible – a few zombies might come running out of the tomb. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

With this in mind…

Everyone’s hearts raced uncontrollably. They couldn’t help but feel scared.

When Fang Qiu heard their discussion…

He couldn’t help shaking his head with a wry smile.

“These university students have plenty of imagination.”

Up ahead…

The archaeological members burst out laughing. How could there be zombies? As a professional archaeological team, they had visited a lot of giant tombs. Although most of the graves they entered had been dug open, they had never heard of horrifying zombies present in those large tombs.

As they laughed in their hearts…

These archaeological members looked suspiciously at Fang Qiu as if expecting an answer.

“No zombies.”

Fang Qiu replied, “But there are many centipedes. They seem to be poisonous.”

After that…

The faces of the college students immediately changed.

Even the archaeological members frowned.

They had never seen a walking corpse, but centipedes were not new to them.

“How did you know?”

Liu Qing saw the chance and immediately came up. He looked at Fang Qiu and asked, “It’s so dark inside. How did you know there were centipedes in there?”

“See?”

Fang Qiu didn’t bother to talk to him and shone his flashlight toward the front.

The bright beam of the flashlight flashed across the area.

As the flashlight swept around the area, it lit up the surroundings.

Everyone saw many centipedes on both sides of the passage. They all looked large and strong. The scene made their flesh creep.

Those college students with trypophobia were the most frightened. These palm-sized centipedes crawled and covered the walls and ground. When these students spotted their close and numerous long legs, they couldn’t help shivering with fear, and their faces instantly turned ghastly pale.

“They are so big.”

“How could there be such large centipedes? I’m scared!”

Everyone panicked.

“What should we do now?”

Lu Jinzhou quickly discussed with the experts of the archaeological research team and said, “How about we retreat first? If these big creatures are poisonous, it will be a problem if they hurt any of us.”

“Go out and observe the situation first?”

The archaeological captain gave a wry laugh and said, “It’s even better if we wait for our engineering team. They can open the tomb from the top of the mountain.”

“It’s hard to travel up the mountain road. It will take at least a week for the engineering team to come here. We should go back first and get a bug-killing expert to the tomb. Along the way, we can exterminate all the bugs to prevent them from harming anyone. Anyway, even when the engineering team arrives, they need to find a way to get rid of the bugs first.”

Lu Jinzhou suggested.

“Well…”

The archaeological captain looked hesitant — he had no idea what to do.

But right at this moment…

“Eh?”

Lu Jinzhou turned his eyes and saw Fang Qiu walking in.

“Master! Master!”

Lu Jinzhou hurriedly cried out, trying to stop Fang Qiu.

Of course…

It was not because he was afraid that Fang Qiu might get hurt. How could this incredibly powerful master fear these insects? Lu Jinzhou was worried that Fang Qiu might damage the things in the tomb when he stepped inside directly like that.

When Lu Jinzhou shouted, everyone immediately aimed their flashlights at Fang Qiu.

There…

Under the beams of their flashlights…

An amazing scene appeared in front of everyone.

They saw that…

Wherever Fang Qiu went, groups of centipedes with numerous long legs fled from him as if they feared him.

At this time…

“Kylin Zhang.”

Suddenly, a student shouted, “Do you know the poker-faced Kylin Zhang, the character shrouded in mystery in Time Raiders? His blood can scare away poisonous insects and zombies!”

Before them…

When he heard this, Fang Qiu halted helplessly. Then he turned around and joked with these students, “Why don’t you say they fled when they saw my handsome face?”

“With the bugs’ particular taste, they would also run away when they see my stylish appearance.”

A student immediately replied confidently.

Their funny remarks lightened the atmosphere. Everyone looked less alarmed.

“Follow me. I’ll take you in.”

Fang Qiu said to everyone.

All the others heard what he said.

Lu Jinzhou hurriedly discussed it with the leaders of the provincial archaeological research team. Finally, they decided to go in after Fang Qiu. After all, Fang Qiu possessed great and impressive power. It should be safe to go in with him.

Soon after…

Lu Jinzhou arranged for the students with trypophobia to stay in the middle. He asked the other students to surround them, so as to provide a sense of security.

When everyone got ready, they went deeper into the tomb after Fang Qiu.

Traipsing after Fang Qiu, they saw the scene they had expected. As soon as Fang Qiu approached, those centipedes retreated and scattered in all directions.

Moreover…

After these centipedes dispersed…

They all stayed hidden and never showed up again, as if they had seen something extremely horrifying.

Everyone felt a huge sense of relief.

They walked for a long time.

“Hey, look, there are patterns.”

At this moment, an archaeologist suddenly stopped and shone his flashlight at the rock wall on one side of the passage.

Everyone turned around to look at it.

Indeed, there were some patterns on the walls of the passageway of the tomb.

The experts immediately went up to examine them.

After they observed these patterns for a while…

The archaeological captain abruptly turned his head and announced with great excitement, “According to these patterns on the rock wall, this place could very likely be an ancient tomb of the Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!”

When Fang Qiu heard this…

His heart skipped a beat. He immediately wondered if there were any ancient cultivation methods in this Chu State tomb.

After all, the Warring States Period was different from other times.

During this period, experts abounded everywhere. Every soldier practiced martial arts. Experts could be seen all over the world in that era. Ancient cultivation methods of that period might have been kept in such a large tomb.

It would be great if it were true.

“Great. That’s great.”

The few archaeologists in this archaeological research team were all excited.

“If the tomb had been well protected, there might even be ancient books that tell the actual history. If we can find one or two such books, our trip will be of great value!”
