"Buzz-"

A brief, faint sound flowed through the quiet and dark underground palace.

The creepy sound made Zhao Chuyu, who was closely protected by Qi Jinan behind him, subconsciously grab the hem of his clothes, and every nerve in her body was tense.

Those sparkling eyes were filled with vigilance.

Every two meters in the emperor's mausoleum, there are luminous pearls that automatically emit soft light. Even in the underground palace, it is not completely dark.

She used the dim light to carefully observe the movements behind the screen.

What could that be?

The thing hiding behind the screen seemed to be competing with them to see who had more patience. Apart from making a slight friction sound, it did not show its face.

Bodyguards with special skills are never the passive party. Since it has been hiding and cannot come out, they will take the initiative to attack.

The bodyguard captain was quick to react, good at planning, and could communicate silently with other bodyguards using gestures.

He left three bodyguards to be responsible for the safety of the Fifth Master and took the lead.

The four bodyguards following closely behind him had serious expressions and tense facial muscles.

The five of them drew their pistols at the same time and moved closer to the screen step by step.

The other two armed soldiers stood within one meter of Qi Jinan.

The only order they received was to protect the Fifth Master of the Qi family at all costs.

At this critical moment, the thing hiding behind the screen seemed to know that it could no longer be a coward.

Suddenly there was a loud "bang" and the huge screen fell down, revealing the entire object behind it.

The giant centipede, more than one meter long, raised its head with two pointed horns, opened its mouth with two rows of sharp teeth, and stared at the people at the entrance of the underground palace with a fierce look.

Its entire body is shiny black, and is covered with a layer of scales with knife-like patterns. At first glance, it looks a bit like a giant python.

It has a long and thick body with countless legs, crawling on the damp mud.

The friction sound just now was made when it moved back and forth on the ground.

The two long tentacles on its head stood upright, as if they wanted to kill all humans who entered its territory.

The captain of the bodyguards frowned when he saw that it was a giant centipede.

The scene before him refreshed his understanding of centipedes.

Everyone at the scene was on high alert and ready to retreat.

Qi Jinan also took out a pistol and held it between his thumbs in a standard position.

Zhao Chuyu, who was protected firmly behind him, saw the true face of the giant through the gap.

There was a hint of surprise in his pupils. He didn't expect that after the three giant pythons left, there was still such a big centipede left here.

This mausoleum had been closed since it was built until the teachers and students of the archaeology department came in.

What did they eat to stay alive while being imprisoned in tombs for thousands of years?

And it eats so much!

Beyond human imagination.

They made sufficient preparations before entering the tomb this time.

All kinds of snake, insect and ant medicines are fully prepared.

Even though this centipede looks strange, it cannot be denied that it is an arthropod and is also afraid of insecticide powder and realgar wine.

The four bodyguards walking in front, receiving a hint from the bodyguard captain, each took out realgar wine from the backpack behind them and poured it at the only exit of the underground palace.

The pungent smell instantly filled the entire space, making the centipede extremely anxious.

But centipedes are naturally afraid of this type of medicine and dare not move forward. They can only make "hissing" sounds anxiously in place.

This time, everyone who entered the tomb wore masks and was not affected at all.

Just when the centipede couldn't bear it anymore and banged its head against the wall, trying to escape, the bodyguard captain was not afraid of danger. He took out the highly lethal insecticide powder, rushed forward, and sprinkled it on the centipede's head.

The medicine powder floated into the centipede's eyes, and in an instant, a "sizzling" sound was heard in this space.

The centipede rolled madly on the ground, curling up its body.

Qi Jinan's eyes were cold and gloomy, as sharp as a thin blade, staring intently.

The big hand holding the pistol, the knuckles pulling the trigger, is ready to give it a ride.

However, from the tunnel next door connected to this passage, there were sounds of chaotic footsteps and panicked looks.

"Professor Lin, what should we do? It's chasing us."

"This thing is too big!"

"Quick, go this way."

……

The chaotic and mixed words were getting closer and closer.

Without much thought, one can guess that Lin Lei and his friends must have encountered some kind of "tomb-guarding" creature.

Zhao Chuyu also figured out what was going on and looked a little nervous.

The big centipede in front of me hasn't been completely dealt with yet, and another one has appeared. This is not good.

Before she could say anything, she heard the sound of Qi Jinan pulling the trigger.

I only noticed his movements and didn't hear the gunshot.

The next second, the centipede, which was still struggling in pain, twitched twice and then became motionless.

Zhao Chuyu quickly reacted and realized that he was using a silenced gun.

Here, Lin Lei and six others, who had just killed the giant centipede and ran at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, appeared in a passage that could accommodate four people walking side by side.

The three sophomore boys saw Qi Jinan and Zhao Chuyu surrounded by bodyguards, and they ran away while anxiously saying:

"Run, there's a giant scorpion behind us."

"The scorpion's two large pincers are one meter long. Run quickly."

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. If you run a step slower, you'll become its food."

The two soldiers who were accompanying to protect the teachers and students of Nanjing University had heavy expressions and called on those who were still standing in front to leave quickly.

Among them, Professor Lin Lei, who was gentle and elegant in the past, had his hair a little messy due to running.

When the eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses caught sight of Zhao Chuyu, his expression tightened.

He walked forward quickly, ignoring Qi Jinan and only looking at the girl who was blocked by someone behind her, with only a pair of watery eyes showing.

"Chu Yu, follow me out of here."

This is his student, and he has the right to take her out of danger.

Qi Jinan pierced Lin Lei with a sharp look, and there seemed to be a strong flame burning in the depths of his cold eyes, giving off a sense of danger that one would be shattered to pieces if he fell into an abyss a hundred feet deep.

There was also the icy cold air that he brought with him, which continued to flow around him.

The bodyguards standing in four directions suddenly felt a chill on the back of their necks, and their hair stood on end.

The bodyguard captain seemed to have noticed something and immediately stood in front of Lin Lei, not letting him get any closer. "Professor Lin, we will protect Miss Zhao."

Miss Zhao is safest when she is with their Fifth Master.

Lin Lei was protected by only two soldiers and three male students.

No matter how you look at it, it's unreliable.

On their side, ten people were dedicated to protecting Master Wu and Miss Zhao, and they were all equipped with pistols.

It's clear at a glance which side is the safest.

At this moment, the atmosphere is tense.

There is a big scorpion chasing us from behind, so it is not suitable for "chatting".

Zhao Chuyu knew very well that it was because of herself. She pursed her lips, took a step forward, took Qi Jinan's arm, and cast a respectful look at Lin Lei.

"Professor Lin, you guys go first. Jinan is my boyfriend, I believe he won't let me get into danger."
