When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

"You must use all possible means to solve this problem within three days! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Qin Zhaolie was so angry that he slapped the armrest of Su Yu: "What a bunch of idiots, idiots, what's the point of keeping you!"

The commander did not dare to look up and said, "Your Highness, the miasma there has been lingering for a long time. This imperial mausoleum has been abandoned for many years, but it has not been completely eliminated. There must be a source inside that is constantly emitting miasma, so..."

Qin Zhaolie squinted at him: "What do you want to say!"

"If we find and block or solve the source, maybe the problem will be solved."

"Then go find it for me! What are you standing here for?"

"The poison gas inside is too strong. Who knows how long people who go in can stay in there. There is a high probability that they will never come back..."

Qin Zhaolie refuted directly: "Asshole, idiot! If you don't know how long you can stay in there, find someone to test and see how long the longest one can stay in there! Go in one by one and you will find it eventually!"

The commander couldn't believe that such inhumane words could be spoken so easily from the mouth of the person in front of him.

Are they trying to find the source of the poison by taking human lives?

"But if too many people are consumed, wouldn't all the troops that the prince has worked so hard to recruit be wasted? The price is a bit too high."

Qin Zhaolie didn't care. What the commander valued was like an ant in his eyes, worthless. "Fool, those who achieve great things don't care about small details. No matter how many people are lost, if they can help me open this tomb, compared with the thousands of soldiers and horses that need to be accommodated, this is nothing!"

The commander was speechless, not knowing how to refute.

Qin Zhaolie said: "If that's the case, let's start now!"

"Now?"

Qin Zhaolie turned around and glanced around casually. He pointed his finger at the team where Qin Yuechuan was and said directly: "It's them. Let them in!"

He raised his voice again:

"Whoever stays in there longer will be rewarded! Whoever can find the source of the poison will be rewarded double! I will never forget your contributions, will I?"

Qin Yuechuan thought: Even at this moment, Qin Zhaolie is still vague and unwilling to give a real reward, only talking about a heavy reward.

He has the final say on what constitutes a big reward and how big a reward is.

"Is there anyone willing to give it a try?"

Seeing no one answering, Qin Zhaolie added: "I know it's not easy for you. If you are willing to go voluntarily, I will reward you with ten ounces of gold."

Qin Yuechuan felt like rolling his eyes. This was a life-threatening mission with no return, but the reward was only ten taels of gold!

I'm afraid I'll have a chance to catch a lifeless one.

It's just ten taels of gold, which is nothing to Qin Yuechuan, but it is a big temptation to others.

Doing such a life-threatening job, if I could earn ten taels of gold and send it back home, even if I died, I could ensure that my family lived a rich life.

Someone in the team bravely stepped forward and said, "I am willing to go!"

Qin Zhaolie was overjoyed and immediately ordered his men to deliver the reward, pretending to be pleased: "This king is waiting for your good news!"

It only took a few breaths for the man to pass through the tunnel and enter the pit, and then he came back crawling and shouting.

Whatever I think in my mind, when I encounter the reality, the instinct for survival still prevails.

His face looked hideous, his lips were black and blue, his eyes and nose were bleeding, and he was spitting out large mouthfuls of black blood. For a long while, he couldn't utter a single word.

He grasped the ground with his five fingers, whimpered, and tried his best to escape.

Qin Zhaolie raised his eyebrows, stroking his jade thumb ring unconsciously, and said calmly: "Since you have accepted the bounty from this king, there is absolutely no reason to give up halfway. Push him back. It can't be a wasted trip. Let's see how long he can struggle in there."

The commander beside Qin Zhaolie looked reluctant, but still followed the order, grabbed the man by the collar, exerted force, and threw him back.

The cries for help disappeared in less than half a quarter of an hour.

Everyone knew that the man was probably dead.

This is not a bounty, it's money for buying your life!

No one in the team dared to say a word.

Qin Zhaolie glanced at them one by one and said impatiently, "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. If I choose them myself, I'm afraid I won't even get these ten taels of gold."

It was still quiet.

"It's you, the tall one!"

The person Qin Zhaolie pointed to was Qin Yuechuan, who was at the end of the team.

Obviously, even now is not the best time to confront Qin Zhaolie head-on. They are already some distance away from the passage they came from, and Qin Yuechuan can only roughly guess where the main entrance is.

Even if we break out from the inside, the chances of success are not very high.

Even if we put aside other things, there are a large number of people here. Even if few of them are stronger than him, thousands or even tens of thousands of people can use the wheel tactics to drain his physical strength.

If it was exposed, then today's trip would be in vain, and the plan he had painstakingly prepared would be wasted, and the internal layout of the imperial mausoleum that he had worked so hard to find out would also be in vain.

In just a moment, Qin Yuechuan did not show much emotion on the surface, but he quickly considered all the possibilities in his mind.

In this case, I can only agree.

Although Qiu Chu had once warned me not to use my internal energy, I was afraid I would suffer tonight.

However, now is a special moment. I can only hold my breath and temporarily use my internal energy to resist. I don't know what the situation is like inside and how long I can resist.

It's just a little painful. If you can hold on, it's the best result and the lightest price.

Qin Zhaolie seemed to be worried that he would escape, so he winked at the people around him, and two guards immediately came up and fell behind Qin Yuechuan not too far away.

Qin Yuechuan just glanced at them sideways, then walked towards the corridor connecting to the poisonous tomb chamber.

The mechanical stone door is deep inside the passage.

Qin Zhaolie's lazy voice floated from behind: "Guard the cave entrance, don't let him regret it halfway like the last one."

At the urging of the person behind him, Qin Yuechuan went in without blinking, held his breath and closed his eyes. Just as he was about to activate his internal strength, he found that he was not as tormented and uncomfortable as he had imagined.

It was just a dry throat and sore eyes, which was much better than the man's violent reaction just now.

What happened? Has the miasma been eliminated?

He lowered his head and observed, the thin green smoke was still lingering around him.

At the entrance of the stone gate, the corpse of the man before had bulging eyes, his mouth and nose were wide open, and blood was flowing from all seven orifices. His appearance was hideous and horrible, and the corpse remained in a crawling position, with one arm still stiffly stretched out towards the cave entrance.

In the last moment before death, he was probably still thinking about trying to escape from this place.

Then why didn't he react at all? He didn't have any poison-repelling items on him...

Poison-proof...

A gentle and smiling voice suddenly sounded in my mind:

"This is the anti-poison scent sachet I made for you... The anti-poison scent beads inside were all made by me..."

Qin Yuechuan subconsciously touched his chest with his hand, muttering in his heart: "Yueyue..."

He took out the sachet that he had carefully stored on the front of his clothes when he changed clothes just now, and put it to his nose and sniffed it carefully. Sure enough, a cool and refreshing feeling swept over his body, and it seemed that even the discomfort just now was not so obvious.

He originally thought it was just an ordinary purse, of no use at all, but the fact that it was made by Yueyue herself was enough for him to cherish it.

However, she never expected that the "little gadget" she mentioned so lightly would actually play such a big role at this moment!

Yes, she is well versed in medicine and good at detoxification, so how could the anti-poison thing she made for him be an ordinary item!

His Yueyue always gave him the best, including this little sachet.

Although she was not by his side, she was with him all the time.

Qin Yuechuan's brows gradually softened. He sniffed the fragrance at the tip of his nose and seemed to see the phantom of Xu Xinyue in front of him.

At this moment, she was supporting her chin with both hands, blinking her watery eyes, sitting obediently at the entrance of the cave, waiting for his return.

His Yueyue is still waiting for her.

Therefore, nothing must happen on this trip, I must return alive and reunite with her!

Qin Yuechuan no longer thought about anything else. He put the purse close to his mouth and nose and looked around. The hole here was no smaller than the other two.

There were only a few pearls and a few small dents on the top of his head, presumably they had been taken away by someone. The light was dimmer than outside. If he had not practiced martial arts and had excellent eyesight, he would have been desperate and lost.

Earth, stones and bricks were piled up here and there in no order.

The work here is visibly more sloppy and crude than the other two.

It’s no wonder. After all, there are only a few people who can reach this level.

He suddenly stepped on something like a stick, and heard a series of crisp "crackling" sounds. Qin Yuechuan lowered his head and made out through the green mist that it was a human hand bone. It was not the usual dry white color, but had turned mossy green due to years of poisonous miasma. He followed the finger bones to look at the entire human skeleton, and then he realized that there was more than one skeleton here!

There are at least dozens of them stacked layer upon layer!

The color of these skeletons are all green, almost blending in with the poisonous fog here. Qin Yuechuan thought, no wonder he didn't notice it immediately when he glanced at it through the green poisonous miasma.

Qin Yuechuan half-knelt down to observe and found that the waists of these skeletons were tied in series with the same rope, which seemed to imply that they died and lived together.

Following the winding path of the rope all the way forward, the color of the poisonous fog became thicker. Qin Yuechuan concentrated his mind highly, pressing the object in his hand tightly against his mouth and nose. The sachet that Yueyue gave him to ward off poison was his only hope of survival at the moment!

It was impossible to turn back. Even if he appeared in front of Qin Zhaolie alive, he would inevitably attract his attention and would have to spend a lot of time explaining.

In this case, it would be better to let him think that he has died in this pit!

Anyway, he would not go in here in person to examine his "corpse".

The end of the rope disappeared between the gap between two stone doors.

This is where the thickest poisonous fog gathers.

The source of the poisonous miasma is probably here.

Qin Yuechuan measured the gap in the door with his hand. It was less than a palm's width, and there seemed to be a breeze blowing across his palm.

If there is wind, it means this place is connected to the outside world! This could be the exit!

Qin Yuechuan was slightly hesitant at the moment. This was the source and also the exit. What was behind the stone gate was unknown.

The poisonous miasma is getting stronger and stronger. I wonder how much Yueyue’s wallet can sustain…

However, no matter what, this was not a place to stay for long. There was no way to retreat. The only option was to give it a try, and that would mean death - no, he would not die, he would never die.

He had promised her, and he would never break his promise in this life!

If she dies, he will die, but as long as she is here, he must live!

Qin Yuechuan cursed in his heart. The strong desire to live made him feel calm in facing the unknown danger. If the enemy comes, we will fight back. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. At worst, he can use both his internal strength and his wallet.

Yueyue has helped him gain such a chance of survival, and coupled with his own persistence, he will not let her down.

Qin Yuechuan searched the surroundings but could not find any mechanism to completely open the stone door. Moreover, most of the tools that had been left here were rusted and too fragile to be reused. He could not find any tool to use as leverage.

He looked at the thickness of the stone door, which was about three inches wide, and raised his head to look at its height. This door was considered small in the imperial mausoleum. He estimated in his heart that this door must weigh at least five hundred kilograms. He wondered if he could shake it a little with his body alone.

He held the purse in his left hand to cover his mouth and nose, and clenched his right hand several times to open and close the finger bones in preparation, and rotated his wrist bones several times, ready to use force to break through the door.

There was a blazing fire in Qin Yuechuan's eyes, full of decisiveness and determination.

The sound of the air being torn apart whizzed past, and he gathered all his strength in his palms, and slammed them heavily on the stone door.

There was a loud bang, deafening.

With countless tiny pieces of stone flying and falling, his fist was like thunder, smashing violently and continuously into the weak spot on the edge of the stone door.

There was too much noise inside, so Qin Zhaolie outside naturally noticed it. He thought that the man had been silent since he went in until now, without even a howl, and he lasted even longer than the previous one. Could he have died instantly?

Just as he was about to throw another person in, a thunderous sound came from deep in the tunnel.

It seemed as if something had suffered a violent collision.

"Is that person dead or not? What happened?!"

He howled a meaningless and stupid sentence in vain. The commander beside him stared at the entrance of the tunnel with his eyes fixed, frowned and replied: "I'm not sure. I guess that person may have accidentally touched some terrible mechanism before he died."

"What an idiot! He can touch the mechanism just by exploring the path. If that person destroys this tomb, I will definitely -"

Vicious and cruel words suddenly froze on his lips, what could he do?

The man was most likely dead. Even if he had triggered the mechanism by mistake, his body was probably buried here. Maybe he had been smashed into meat paste by rocks. What could he do to him?

The strong feeling of powerlessness made Qin Zhaolie even more irritated. He just waved his hand and said, "Send another person in to see what's going on inside!"

"But, Your Majesty——"

Hearing the rebuttal, Qin Zhaolie's brows suddenly turned cold. He tilted his head, and his sinister eyes scanned the commander up and down like a snake and scorpion, and said, "Or, do you want to take a look for me personally?"

"If the entire imperial mausoleum is implicated, can you afford it?!"

The commander felt a chill down his spine, and a chill ran straight up to his head. He immediately bowed his head and clasped his fists: "I dare not! I will send someone in now!"

The roar inside still showed no sign of stopping. Qin Zhaolie roared angrily: "Hurry up! If you are late, I will throw you in too!!"
