"That's what I think." Lin Ran replied word for word.

No one said anything else, and the group strode forward.

Finally, we arrived at the city gate and looked at the dark palace.

The ancient tomb was already extremely silent, but now it was even more profound.

The only difference from before was that the two corpses had disappeared.

Lin Ran quickly scanned the surrounding environment. The interior of the palace was extremely empty and open, but it was a little different from what he had thought before. After entering the interior, he found that the palace looked magnificent outside.

However, the interior looks a bit quaint and simple, and there is an ancient atmosphere in the air.

The interior walls make people feel as if they have traveled through hundreds of years of history.

Lin Ran suddenly felt a little uneasy.

But after consideration, he decided to explore the palace to see if he could find more clues.

"Be safe." After a brief reminder, they began to slowly explore inside the palace.

Although it is quite empty, there are many rooms.

Whenever he found a room, Xu Ning walked at the front, and others only entered after confirming that there was no danger.

Nothing special has been found so far.

Lin Ran would observe carefully every room he entered.

There was nothing in most of the rooms, just a few boxes, most of which were opened and empty.

Lin Ran did not allow anyone to touch it. The previous tomb robbers would die, most likely infected by the virus in the box.

Time passed very quickly, probably more than an hour later. They had checked the entire palace, but did not find any useful clues.

Not even a monster was seen.

Did you guess wrong?

After returning to the hall, Lin Ran originally planned to ask everyone to leave. This was not so much a palace as a courtyard with a palace structure.

Sure enough, there is another door. It can be judged from the indentation in the grass that the tomb robbers came in from the other side.

When he was about to leave, Lin Ran found a secret door hidden in the corner in the hall.

Secret doors are similar to walls, but have some mysterious symbols on the surface.

After observing it for a while, I couldn’t understand it at all.

However, although he did not understand the symbols above, the secret door was active, and Lin Ran easily opened the secret door.

Behind the secret door, I found a secret passage inside. The secret passage extends underground. I don't know where it leads to the underground.

Lin Ran and his group cautiously entered the secret passage.

The light in the dark passage was dim, and there was a damp and rotten smell in the air, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

They walked slowly in the darkness. Fortunately, they did not encounter any danger along the way.

But in the dark, time slows down.

"What exactly is going on here?" Wang Jinpeng couldn't understand.

The box in the palace was completely opened, as if it had been emptied, and nothing was seen inside.

The palace in front of us can simply be described as "a family with four walls".

Lin Ran was actually a little confused. Could it be that the tomb robbers had already moved everything here?

What made him even more confused was that there seemed to be nothing else in the palace except the box.

Not even a coffin was seen, only four walls.

There is no other way except this secret passage.

"Let's go down there and take a look first. We can always find a way out." Lin Ran replied.

The group of them kept walking down, and their footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

Before long, they reached the bottom.

Now he is in another room on the lower floor. It looks like an underground prison, but the design is more magnificent.

In addition to the bluestone brick walls, there are also a large number of stone pillars, one after another, as if supporting the ground floor space.

All the stone pillars are painted with red paint, and it is unknown what material the red paint is made of, and it still maintains a brand-new appearance.

Following the road all the way to the end, they stopped.

There is a wall at the end of the room. At a glance, this wall is about 3 meters high and has blocked their way.

Lin Ran stopped and squatted by the wall to observe.

I saw a circle of broken traces under the wall made of bluestone bricks.

It looked like there were heavy things placed here, but they were carried away.

Lin Ran was observing other places, but there was nothing special about them.

"Strange, is this the end?" Lin Ran was puzzled.

Thinking back to being in the palace just now, there was no other way to go.

They are now trapped in the palace.

The other people were not idle either, looking for mechanisms on the surrounding walls. They also felt that there should be a place where they could leave, rather than just a secret room.

But after looking around with a flashlight, I couldn't find anywhere to go.

"It's really weird." Lin Ran stood there and touched his chin with his hand.

Could it be that there was something here originally? Although I don't know what it is, it can be seen that it has a certain volume and a large mass, and it can leave some marks on the ground.

The tomb robbers didn't even move the boxes in the palace, but they moved the things here.

Perhaps, there was an object made of gold or other precious materials originally placed here, and it was taken away by them because it was particularly valuable.

Could it be... a coffin?

If the coffin was made of gold, it would really be possible for them to carry it away.

From this point of view, the team that brought Professor Li in should be a very large team of tomb robbers, and they had prepared the corresponding equipment to take away everything inside.

According to this line of thinking, they should not be attacked by the monsters in the ancient tombs, because they have weapons and there are many people, so they will not be wiped out by such monsters.

Moreover, the previous two corpses were all covered with gold and silver jewelry. They probably wanted to hide them privately, but were discovered by the team, so they were killed and silenced.

This speculation was more likely, but Lin Ran immediately denied this idea.

If a member of the team kills someone, their gold and silver jewelry should be taken away together, and the things should not be left where they are.

"Look at the indentations here, it's obvious that something heavy was placed there before, but now it's gone." Lin Ran looked at the corner and said.

"A very heavy item? Did the tomb robbery team put it away?" Liu Jingfeng asked.

Lin Ran couldn't make a conclusion, but now he could only think in this direction.

It just so happens that everyone can take a rest during this time.

They took out the food left by Captain Chen from their backpack. They had been in the ancient tomb for ten hours, and the feeling of hunger and exhaustion had begun to spread.
