Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Chapter 44: Don’t just watch the fun, leave quickly, you will be dead if you are discovered!

When Zhang Haike and the others saw that Zhang Qiling agreed, they all smiled brightly.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Zhang Haike and his three companions happily followed Zhang Hanyan and Zhang Qiling into the room she had just mentioned.

The door that had been sealed for many years was opened again, and the smell of dust made everyone cover their noses.

"There's so much dust in this room. It looks like no one has been here for years. The spider webs in here are almost covering the whole room."

As Zhang Haike spoke, he picked up a small stick and swept away the spider web blocking his way.

"Han Yan, where is the treasure you mentioned? Why can't we see it?"

"Yes, this room is empty. You can see everything at a glance. There are no treasures at all."

Zhang Hanyan glanced at them speechlessly and walked to a lamp post beside the bed. The lamp post had an ancient and unique shape, with a four-clawed flying dragon wrapped around it.

Under the gaze of everyone, she held the faucet and pressed it hard. With a dull sound of the mechanism opening, the footrest beside the bed slowly dropped down, and a golden nanmu wooden box slowly rose up.

She walked forward and opened the wooden box with a snap, revealing a box of bronze artifacts inside.

"you......"

"Wow!!!"

Before Zhang Hanyan could finish her words, she was frightened by Zhang Haike and his four men who pounced on her. She immediately fled from the box and stood far away.

Zhang Haike picked up a bronze round tripod on the top layer of the box and carefully stroked the delicate patterns on it.

"This bronze ware from the Shang Dynasty is so intact, it's a priceless treasure! If I take this back, not only will I pass the exam, I'll also be rated as an excellent student!"

The four of them rummaged through a box of bronze artifacts, and after looking at them, they didn't know which one to take.

"Hurry up, everyone take one and go. If you don't go back, you will miss the New Year!"

Zhang Hanyan's impatient urging sped up the selection process of Zhang Haike and others.

In a short while, the few of them had chosen what they wanted and walked contentedly towards the two people who were waiting for them at the door.

"Let's go! Now that I have this thing, I can't wait to go home and show it off!"

Zhang Qiling glanced at the bronze tripod in Zhang Haike's hand casually, then turned and left with an expressionless face.

The moment everyone turned around and left, the wooden box filled with bronze artifacts in the room disappeared instantly, and the sinking footrest did not rise for a long time, leaving a dark rectangular hole.

The group came to the mud pool. Zhang Haike and his friends looked at the bubbling mud pool, and the wriggling leeches kept flashing in their minds.

"We just got the leeches out of our bodies. If we jump back in now, will they get inside our bodies again?"

"Yes, yes, that bug is really disgusting. Can we find another way to leave here?"

"No!" Zhang Hanyan shook her head. "As long as there is a road leading to the outside, there is a mud pool like this. No matter which direction we leave from, we will face it."

Zhang Haike picked up the equipment on the ground and put it on without saying a word.

The other three were all confused by his actions and didn't know whether to wear these worn-out diving equipment with him.

"We weren't afraid just now when Han Yan and the others were not around us, so why should we be afraid now? At worst, we can just bleed again after we get out! Stop being so fussy, put on your clothes and go!"

Zhang Hanyan quickly grabbed Zhang Haike, who was half fallen over, and pulled him back effortlessly.

"Why are you panicking? There is a way to save you from suffering again!"

Zhang Qiling naturally knew what method she was talking about. Before he could open his mouth to stop her, he was knocked unconscious by her chopping with a knife.

"Han Yan, why did you knock him out?"

Zhang Haike helped support Zhang Qiling, not understanding why she did this.

Could it be... that he wanted to use the knife to make Zhang Qiling bleed? Knocked him out to prevent him from struggling?

While Zhang Haike was daydreaming, Zhang Hanyan had already asked the other three people to put on their equipment and took out hemp ropes and tied them around their waists.

"Zhang Haike, tie the rope around the young man's waist and your own waist, tie it tightly."

"Oh well."

Zhang Haike tied the rope quickly and was about to ask her what to do next when he saw her pull out a dagger and cut her palm.

In an instant, blood gushed out, dripping drop by drop onto the white stone slab, like bright red flowers blooming.

"Han Yan! Why did you cut your hand?"

Zhang Hanyan quickly smeared the flowing blood on the bodies of the four of them. After making sure that nothing was missed, he took out gauze and bandaged the wounds.

"Let's go out first. The effect of the blood only lasts for a limited time. We have to get out of the mud pool before it loses its effect."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the end of the hemp rope and helped Zhang Qiling, who had been knocked unconscious by her, to jump into the mud pool.

As she and Zhang Qiling fell, Zhang Haike and others who were tied with hemp ropes were dragged into the mud pool.

Under the leadership of Zhang Hanyan, everyone climbed out of the mud pond safely, climbed up the tunnel, and followed the same path they came from, all walking out of the ancient city of Sizhou without a single one left behind.

When they climbed out of the tunnel, they saw a lot of people gathered in the distance. They were gathered together and seemed to be discussing something, but they were too far away to hear clearly.

"Don't just watch the fun, leave quickly, you'll be dead if you're discovered!"

At Zhang Hanyan's urging, the five people carried the unconscious Zhang Qiling across the ridge of the field and into the depths of the dense forest next to it.

"Hoo...Hoo...Hoo...Hoo...Hanyan, stop and rest for a while. We have walked far enough and we won't be discovered by them."

Zhang Haike gently placed Zhang Qiling on the soft pile of grass and sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

Zhang Hanyan looked at the other three people, all of whom looked exhausted.

"Are you so lax in your training on weekdays? Such a short distance makes you so tired?"

She walked over to sit next to Zhang Qiling, and while helping him to finish, she secretly transferred spiritual energy to him so that he could wake up quickly.

Zhang Haike and the other three looked at Zhang Hanyan, who was neither blushing nor out of breath and was still in the mood to tease them. They couldn't tell at all that it was she who had just lost so much blood.

"Han Yan, how come you look so skinny and small, but have such great stamina? How do you train normally? You two look so strong."

"We don't train much, we just practice casually on our own. On weekdays, the master just watches us from the side and occasionally gives us some guidance."

After hearing what she said, Zhang Haike and the other three people suddenly felt like they were having a heart attack and felt an indescribable discomfort.
