Chapter 274: Oil in the Lamp

Tom never stops until he makes a shocking statement.

It was not just the Taotie who was stunned!

Fang Xiaocao and Hummingbird, who were standing by, were so shocked that they froze on the spot.

"Third brother?"

"Third sister-in-law?"

“White elephants and Komodo dragons?”

Hummingbird blinked and asked in confusion.

Fang Xiaocao: “!!!”

"Have hummingbirds also learned bad things?"

Fang Xiaocao muttered.

Fang Xiaocao said this person had learned bad things, that person had learned bad things, but she never reflected on herself and wondered why she understood everything so quickly...

"Yup!"

"Before, the third brother was the one I admired the most!"

“Now, we have to add a Taotie!”

Tom said matter-of-factly.

After hearing what Tom said, Taotie felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

"Cough cough!"

"Let's hurry up and get into the general's tomb!"

Seeing that Taotie's eyes were turning red and he was on the verge of going berserk, Fang Xiaocao quickly changed the subject.

If you continue to dwell on this topic, things may get into trouble.

If Taotie and Tom start fighting, she and Hummingbird won't be able to stop these two guys.

Hearing Fang Xiaocao's words, Tom looked at the candle behind the stone door. The candle was burning vigorously, and the flame was jumping as if it was dancing happily.

"Ok!"

"You can go in!"

Tom nodded in agreement.

"Taotie!"

Seeing that Taotie was still on the verge of going berserk, Fang Xiaocao called out to Taotie.

After hearing Fang Xiaocao's voice, Taotie's severe scarletness faded a little and he regained his clarity.

Taotie looked at Fang Xiaocao: "Your Highness, do you have any instructions?"

Fang Xiaocao could hear a hint of suppressed anger in Taotie's tone.

"You protect me closely!"

"Let Tom lead the way!"

"May I?"

Fang Xiaocao said with a smile.

Taotie is now obviously angry.

Not suitable for road-clearing work.

Anger affects a person's thinking and judgment.

Taotie is originally a ferocious beast, and is also affected by anger.

Who knows if he'll step on some kind of mechanism to play with.

Taotie nodded: "No problem!"

"That's good!"

Fang Xiaocao breathed a sigh of relief when Taotie didn't insist on exploring the way.

"Tom, it's up to you!"

Fang Xiaocao said to Tom.

"Ok!"

"No problem, I'll explore the way!"

Tom smiled and nodded.

"Hummingbird, you take the lead."

"If Tom gets in trouble, you come to back him up."

Fang Xiaocao assigned another task to the hummingbird.

"Okay, Your Highness Princess!"

Hummingbird nodded in response.

"set off!"

Fang Xiaocao waved her hand and shouted loudly.

Tom took the lead, squeezed through the crack in the stone door, picked up the candle on the ground, extinguished it, put it back into his backpack, and began his work as a pathfinder.

Fang Xiaocao and the other two also filed in through the crack in the door and entered the second stone door of the general's tomb.

What comes into view is still a tomb passage.

What is different from the previous tomb passage is that there are pairs of lamps on the two-layer stone walls of this tomb passage.

Fang Xiaocao took a closer look. The lamp was made entirely of metal. Judging from the green rust on it, it should have been made of bronze.

Fang Xiaocao stood on tiptoe and peeked into the lamp. She was surprised to find that there was a thin layer of transparent and sticky lamp oil in the lamp. "Huh?"

"There's still oil in the lamp!"

Fang Xiaocao couldn't help but exclaimed.

Hearing Fang Xiaocao's cry, Tom and the other two also looked over. Their attention was focused on being alert for possible mechanisms or hidden weapons in the tomb passage.

I didn't even pay attention to the lights on both sides.

Looking at the almost transparent lamp oil in the lamp.

Fang Xiaocao was very surprised.

I took out a match and wanted to light it to try.

"Princess, don't!"

Tom was shocked when he saw Fang Xiaocao's actions.

He quickly spoke up to stop Fang Xiaocao's actions.

The hummingbird next to her is closest to Fang Xiaocao.

With quick eyes and hands, he grabbed Fang Xiaocao.

He knocked the match out of Fang Xiaocao's hand.

Fang Xiaocao was confused and didn't know what was going on.

He looked at Tom with some doubt.

"what happened?"

"Is it the lamp oil that bites people?"

Fang Xiaocao blinked and asked in confusion.

"more or less!"

Tom breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Fang Xiaocao's silly action was stopped by the hummingbird.

"Your Highness, you must not touch anything in this ancient tomb, especially these decorations."

Tom walked over quickly and spoke.

"why?"

Fang Xiaocao asked curiously.

Fang Xiaocao thought that it was just a lamp.

What danger could there be?

She was just curious about why the oil in the lamp had not dried up after thousands of years.

Moreover, this lamp oil is actually transparent.

Were there such advanced refining techniques in ancient times?

What kind of oil is this?

It smells like a fishy smell.

Looking at Fang Xiaocao's eyes, Tom shook his head helplessly and explained, "Your Highness, during the construction of the ancient tomb, if there are hidden devices installed, they often choose decorations and floor tiles as the starting switches. For example, these lamps may have some mechanisms behind them. And these lamp oils, when setting up anti-tomb robbery mechanisms, they often mix poison gas or hallucinogenic drugs into the lamp oil."

"If a tomb robber enters the tomb and lights these lamps, it is very likely that poison gas or hallucinogenic drugs will be released, or some mechanism may be triggered."

After listening to Tom's explanation, Fang Xiaocao's face changed and she quickly took a few steps back, away from the lamp.

"It's so dangerous!"

"It almost killed everyone!"

Fang Xiaocao said with lingering fear.

"Your Highness, please don't run around by yourself. Be sure to pay attention to the floor I stepped on to avoid stepping on the hidden traps in the floor."

Tom continued to instruct.

Fang Xiaocao nodded: "Yes!"

"Don't worry, I understand."

"But what is this lamp oil made of?"

"Why hasn't it dried up after so long?"

“And it’s almost transparent, which is really amazing.”

Fang Xiaocao asked the question that she had always been curious about.

"This one……"

Hearing Fang Xiaocao's question, Tom's expression froze and he said awkwardly: "I don't know either..."

Fang Xiaocao was a little disappointed that her curiosity was not satisfied: "Okay..."

Taotie on the side laughed, "Hehe", and said proudly: "I know this!"

"you know?"

Fang Xiaocao was stunned and asked.

Tom also looked at Taotie curiously.

They never expected that Taotie would know this. Taotie, this stupid guy, doesn't look like a top student at all, but a complete poor student. How could he know what this is?

"Haha~"

Looking at Fang Xiaocao and Tom, who were both confused and looked like they didn't believe him, Taotie chuckled and said, "Don't look down on me, okay? Can't I know something?"

Fang Xiaocao blinked and thought so too.

You can't look at Taotie with tinted glasses.

Taotie is just a tiger, not stupid.
