The small drone just flew around the corner. Under the control of the pilot, the drone released another lighting stick.

Coupled with the powerful beam of the searchlight, the situation in the next section of the corridor was immediately displayed on the surveillance screen.

Compared with the first half of the corridor, the next section of the corridor becomes wider, reaching a width of about one meter, which is enough to pass a carriage.

The slope has also become gentler, only about 30 degrees.

This section of the corridor was also covered with dust and moss, and the ground looked quite slippery.

The difference is that there are many fist-sized round holes on the walls on both sides of this corridor.

These round holes are irregularly distributed and densely packed, like a hornet's nest, which is creepy to look at.

Without even thinking about it, those round holes were obviously deadly traps.

It is not known whether the items arranged inside are flintlock muskets, javelins or crossbows.

Not only on the walls on both sides, but also on the vault above the corridor, some round holes can be seen occasionally.

Obviously, it was some mechanism trap that attacked from the top down.

And this is just a trap that can be seen visually.

In those dark corners that cannot be seen, God knows how many deadly traps there are.

For example, on those slippery steps, on both sides of the walls and behind the vaults, etc.

This is a corridor that extends straight down without any turns in the middle.

With the help of searchlight light, everyone can see.

At the end of this arched corridor is a heavy stone door.

Behind the stone door is the underground secret room previously detected with ground-penetrating radar.

As for what secrets or treasures are hidden in the underground chamber, it is currently unknown.

Only by opening the stone door can we know the situation inside the secret room.

Looking at the pictures on the big screen TV, everyone took a breath and felt terrified.

"Oh my God! There are indeed traps in this underground tunnel, and there are so many of them. It's really amazing!"

"Wow! This is no underground secret room. It is simply an underground fortress. The British colonists obviously put a lot of thought into it."

"In the early 18th century, this was a military training ground. It was probably the British army that built this place, so no one knew about it."

Everyone was talking about it, and everyone was extremely excited.

In particular, several professors from the School of History at Yale University were even more elated.

For them, this is definitely an unexpected surprise

Even if there is nothing in the underground secret room, just this underground building is enough for them to study for a while and publish a series of articles!

Several professors from Harvard University who were also present had bitter mouths and their eyes were red with envy!

Some media reporters gathered outside the cemetery, separated by the cordon, and used telephoto lenses to observe the situation here.

Through the telephoto lens, they also saw some content, and there was a commotion at the scene.

"Wow! Sean and the guys discovered an underground space. It looks like a dark tunnel that slopes downward."

"There is no doubt that there is a treasure hidden deep underground in that tomb. Sean is so lucky!"

While exclaiming, these guys sent out the pictures they took.

As soon as these live scenes were released, they immediately caused a huge sensation in the outside world and attracted countless attention.

In particular, many scholars who study American history are all excited and envious of it.

Experts and scholars in Boston and even surrounding areas walked out of their homes and drove straight to the Boston Common.

Of course, there are countless greedy eyes, staring closely at the situation here.

Some guys even jumped into action and headed to the Boston Common.

Central cemetery scene.

Xiao Ran looked at the picture returned by the small drone, pondered for a moment, and then said to the pilot next to him:

"Haipeng, don't release the fluorescent lighting rod yet, you fly the second half of the corridor."

"Look at the round holes on the left and right walls and see what weapons are arranged in those round holes."

"Then fly to the end of the corridor, check the condition of the stone gate, and then discuss the next step."

"Understood, look at me"

Haipeng nodded in response and took action immediately.

This guy is also a Chinese student who graduated from UCLA and has a good relationship with Xiao Ran.

When I graduated before, I saw that I couldn't return to my country smoothly, so I came to work for Xiao Ran.

Because he was so good with drones, he became a drone pilot.

Of course, he only served as a pilot during exploration operations.

There are also several pilots in Xiao Ran's security team, and they all have different divisions of labor.

Under Haipeng's control, the small drone immediately flew into the second half of the corridor and continued its exploration.

In a moment, the small drone flew to a round hole in the wall on the right.

As the searchlight shines in, the situation in the round hole is immediately revealed.

What appeared on the surveillance screen was a rusty javelin head.

The tip of this javelin is extremely sharp, and coupled with the thick rust, it undoubtedly greatly increases the lethality.

"hiss!"

There was a gasp of air from the scene, and everyone was startled.

Everyone can see very clearly that the power of this javelin is amazing.

If it were shot on a person, it would be penetrated instantly.

The rust on it will cause further magical damage to the injured.

Before the exclamation could end, Xiao Ran's voice came out again.

"Haipeng, check the conditions on the other round holes and steps. The trigger points of these traps should be on those slippery steps."

"OK"

Haipeng nodded in response.

Immediately afterwards, the small drone flew towards another round hole in the opposite wall.

as expected!

In the round hole on the opposite wall, there is also a deadly javelin.

Subsequently, the small drone lowered its flight height, adjusted the angle of the searchlight and high-definition camera, and took pictures of the steps below.

There was a layer of dust and moss attached to the steps below, making it unclear what was going on on the steps.

But I know it even if I think about it with my heels.

The most likely trigger point for the fatal trap in this section of the corridor is the steps below.

Next, the small drone flew to the vault above to check the situation in a round hole on the vault.

In that round hole, there is also a sharp javelin, pointing directly at the steps below.

If someone enters this passage and accidentally triggers the mechanism on the steps.

What he will face next is a three-sided attack from the left, right and overhead.

In this case, the intruder would have no time to react, and he would be stunned and nailed to the steps in an instant.

Seeing such a deadly trap, everyone felt a chill rising from the soles of their feet and going straight to their foreheads.

At this time, the small drone in the corridor adjusted its attitude again and continued to fly downward along the corridor.

During the flight, this small drone kept exploring the situation in the corridor.

The round holes in the vault and the side walls, as well as the steps below, are all within the scope of exploration.

In those round holes, everyone saw many deadly javelins, as well as a large number of crossbow arrows and so on.

Since the muskets during the Revolutionary War were flintlock types, the gunpowder was very susceptible to moisture, making it impossible to fire smoothly.

Perhaps because of this, no musket muzzles were found in those traps.

But on the steps below, nothing unusual was found.

There was a layer of dust and moss on all the steps, making it difficult to see the real situation.

But everyone watching the surveillance footage understood.

These seemingly normal steps are the most dangerous places and the most deadly!

People entering the corridor have no way of distinguishing where these steps are safe and where they are deadly traps.

If you don't know how to pass this corridor, anyone who enters this corridor will definitely die!

As long as one is not careful, it will be the tragic ending of being shot into a hornet's nest.

Of course, Xiao Ran was not included in this list.

For him, there was no problem at all in safely passing through this secret passage.

In the blink of an eye, the small drone had flown to the end of the corridor and in front of the thick stone door.

The moment the small drone flew close to the stone door, everyone saw it.

In the center of that stone door, there is a huge St. George's flag engraved on it, which is quite eye-catching.

Covered by dust and moss, coupled with years of wear and tear, and the oxidation that occurred when the secret passage was just opened.

Most of the color of this St. George flag has faded and is somewhat blackened, but you can still see the outline of the red cross on the white background.

In addition to the St. George flag, there are statues of knights holding swords on both sides of the stone door.

Then there are some scattered round holes, as well as two niches for placing lamps, etc.

Beyond that, there is nothing else.

Seeing this scene, the crowd gathered in front of the big-screen TV immediately burst into excited cheers.

"Look! There is a St. George's flag on the stone gate. There is no doubt that this underground building was indeed made by British colonists."

"There is no doubt that the discovery of this underground structure will definitely cause a sensation across the country. There are not many such historical sites in the country."

"Oh my God! The specifications of this underground secret room are so high. It's hard to imagine what secrets or treasures are hidden in it."

Just as everyone was cheering, Xiao Ran issued another order.

"Haipeng, release a lighting stick to illuminate this place, and test whether the traps here are still sensitive."

"Be careful when releasing the lighting stick. When the fluorescent stick falls, immediately pull the small drone back to a safe place."

After hearing the instruction, Haipeng immediately nodded excitedly and said:

"Come on! Watch my performance!"

With that said, he took action.

A lighting stick fell quietly and hit the ground in front of the stone door.

As soon as the glow stick was released, the small drone immediately retreated and flew back a meter or two quickly.

While the small drone was still retreating, the fluorescent stick that was folded and lit hit the ground lightly.

The next moment, a sudden change occurred.
