This second starvation hole is even more extreme than the first one.

In the innermost dead room, there are many stones with sharp edges piled up. If they fall, you may die directly.

After listening to Little Braid's report, Brother Lei couldn't help but swear again: "Damn, two of the three stone gates are traps. These guys are so bad."

I said that we are here to rob and dig up people's graves, and from this point of view we are the worst.

"By the way, there are no people in these two starving holes, not even the corpses." At this time, Xiao Ye suddenly asked Xiao Zhuzi such a question.

The pigtail shook his head: "It's empty, there's nothing."

Jian Zui must have known Xiao Ye's intention. He also said with a smile: "What are you thinking? We are the first wave to come in. We blew up the door. No one else will get in first."

Brother Lei seemed to have found an opportunity, and immediately pulled Sister Yuan and said, "Look, you still say that I am stupid, so Xiaoye is also stupid."

The pigtail immediately glared at Brother Lei: "Xiaoye is much smarter than you, shut up!"

I glanced at Xiaoye at this time, and seemed to have guessed her intention.

Maybe she is looking for someone?

This person should be very important to her, and he is also a tomb robber, right?

I really wanted to ask Xiaoye, but I knew that they wouldn't tell me if I asked, so I had to give up.

Since there was nothing to gain from the two stone gates, we had no choice but to return to the big stone chamber again and arrived at the only remaining stone gate.

This stone door is the same as the one just now. It is also supported by tap stones at the back. After using the nail key to pull down the top door stone, I was about to push the door open when Sister Yuan suddenly grabbed me.

"Wait, don't push it in a hurry. There were traps in the previous two doors. This is the last door left. This door may lead to the main tomb chamber and is the most important door. I think the mechanism behind it I'm afraid there will be more and it will be more terrifying, so you have to be careful."

I thought what Sister Siyuan said made sense, and then I left Zhao Hu and I to push the door open and let everyone else hide, preferably behind the stone pillar next to it.

After everyone hid, Zhao Hu and I pushed open the stone door. Fortunately, we didn't encounter any traps.

There is also a corridor behind this door, and it is very long. You can’t even see the end of it when you shine it with a flashlight. Since the floor of the corridor is also paved with stone tiles, and there are many niches on the stone walls on both sides, I think there must be some mechanism in this corridor. Less, so vigilance is stronger.

I asked the others to wait here first, and Zhao Hu and I entered the corridor. As we walked, we checked the floor tiles and niches to see if there were any traps.

After making sure there was no problem, let others follow.

After walking for almost a hundred meters, a downward staircase appeared in this corridor. After walking for a while, the space in front of me suddenly became larger, and a very exquisitely carved stone door appeared.

The two stone doors are engraved with majestic door gods, one holding a spear and the other holding a giant ax. Under the ground on both sides of the door, there are two brave tomb beasts, which are even more lifelike and domineering.

"Haha, behind this door is probably the main tomb chamber. I can already smell the gold and silver treasures!" Zhao Hu rubbed his hands a little excitedly at this time, and then reminded others, especially Brother Lei and Jianzui: "When you go in and see the treasure later, don't grab it and move it around. Don't break it. Anyway, we divide it according to a fixed share. It's useless if you grab it."

"As long as the people named Lei don't rob, we definitely won't," Jianzui said.

Brother Lei glanced at him very dissatisfied: "You tell me, why the hell do you always involve me, do you really think I have no temper?"

I asked them to be quiet, then walked to the door and looked.

To my surprise, the door was actually open and moved with a slight push.

This only made me more careful. I once again reminded everyone to be more vigilant, and then pushed the door completely open.

The scene that appeared in front of me particularly shocked me.

Wherever the flashlight shined, there were densely packed ancient soldiers wearing armor. At first glance, we were all startled. Xiaoye and Sister Yuan even screamed.

But upon closer inspection I felt a little relieved.

These soldiers are all dead, and there are bones inside their armor.

Some of them were standing, some were lying down, and some were piled together scatteredly, like a pile of debris.

As for why some of them were standing, this was because there were many iron rings embedded on the top of the room, and a section of rope hung under each iron ring. The ends of the rope were tied around the necks of these soldiers to prevent them from falling to the ground.

As for those who were already lying down or who fell awkwardly, it may be that the rope broke over time, causing them to fall.

"Are these soldiers real people? I mean, were they all real people standing here wearing armor back then?" Xiao Braid asked.

I said judging from the bones, it should be a real person.

"Then they were all used to be buried, right? They were not buried voluntarily, right?"

I said it was definitely not voluntary. They were probably put in armor after being killed and put here.

It is precisely because the dead people cannot stand on their own that they need to tie their necks with ropes to make them stand here neatly.

Zhao Hu scolded: "Damn, it looks like there are at least a thousand people, right? This prince's death was so worth it, so many people were buried with him? But isn't it usually the case that royal families are buried with a bunch of women? How come there are so many soldiers?"

Jianzui said: "For the sake of power, I must be thinking of continuing to be a prince in the underworld after death. I definitely can't do it without soldiers."

"On this point, Qin Shihuang did a good job. The terracotta warriors and horses are all fakes and not real people. They are all real people. It's too cruel."

As we were talking, a crashing sound suddenly came from not far away, which startled us again.

Fortunately, only some ropes were broken, and the standing bones fell to the ground.

"Where is the main tomb, and where is the chariot and horse room where the funerary objects are placed?" Zhao Hu asked while standing on tiptoe and shining a flashlight behind him. I also took a look. It seemed that besides these soldiers, there were no Didn't see anything else.

I said I didn't know, I had to go in and have a look, after all, these soldiers were blocking my view too much.

Maybe the scene inside is a bit too scary. When we were about to go in, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and we were all a little nervous.

In the end, Zhao Hu and I took the lead and went in first, followed closely by the others.

But Xiaoye stayed at the door. She had a mysophobia and thought the bones inside were too disgusting.

Little Pigtail didn't trust her, so he stayed at the door with her.

As we walked deeper, from time to time the rope would break and soldiers would fall to the ground, making a clattering sound.

Occasionally, I would step on bones or armor without paying attention. The feeling was really indescribable.

Sharp Mouth also asked me if these things would come to life, and I told him to keep his mouth shut.

At the same time, I was thinking:

Although these things have been dead for many years, it is logically impossible for them to come back to life.

But evil things like giant rats have happened, what else can't happen?

What makes me a little nervous is that I feel that my body is getting colder now. It must be because the evil spirit here is too strong.

Finally, after walking less than twenty meters, Sister Yuan couldn't stand it anymore.
