Chapter 276 Quicksand Pit
"Don't think about it, I'll go first!"

As he said this, Taotie was about to take the risk.

Seeing Taotie's action, Tom was quick to grab Taotie's arm and said, "Taotie, don't be impulsive. Now is not the time to show off!"

Taotie turned his head and looked at Tom: "What's wrong?"

Tom pulled Taotie back.

He let Taotie keep a safe distance from the sand pit in front, and then explained: "If this is an ordinary sand pit, it's nothing. What I'm most afraid of is that this is a specially made quicksand pit."

Tom expressed his concerns with a serious expression.

"Quicksand pit?"

Taotie was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed.

"You have been in a tomb-robbing gang before, so you must know better than me how terrifying the quicksand pits in ancient tombs are."

Tom asked, noticing the change in Taotie's expression.

Taotie nodded: "I was impulsive."

"What is a quicksand pit?"

Fang Xiaocao blinked and asked doubtfully.

Hearing Fang Xiaocao's question, Tom looked at Taotie.

Use eye contact to let Brother Taotie explain.

"Quicksand pits are a means of preventing theft in ancient tombs, but the construction and locking of the pits require a huge amount of manpower and material resources, so they only appear occasionally in the tombs of royal nobles of some wealthy dynasties."

"When I was making a living with tomb robbers, I once encountered a quicksand pit in a Tang Dynasty prince's tomb. The old tomb robber who was in charge was kidnapped by a group of underground forces. He was planning to do something bad, so he deliberately did not warn those people."

"At that time, there were more than a dozen people in the group. After seeing the quicksand pit, the old tomb robber knew what it was. He deliberately didn't say anything and pretended to have a sprained foot. He asked me to carry him and deliberately walked behind."

"That group of people were annoyed by our slow pace and thought it was just a simple sand pit. They didn't even wait for us and directly organized people to enter the sand pit."

"As a result, something went wrong."

"At that time, the leader of the group was quite cautious. He was afraid that there was a trap in the sand pit, so he used ropes to string all his people together and crossed the sand pit in a straight line. However, he did not expect that his cleverness would backfire."

"That quicksand pit was very cleverly designed. It was covered with thin wooden boards. If a person of normal weight went through it alone, nothing would happen. But if a group of people went through it together, the board would break. The first few people who passed through were fine, but when the whole team stood on the quicksand pit, the board broke directly. The team of more than a dozen people, starting from the middle, all fell into the quicksand. Only the first and last four people on the shore were not affected."

"Originally, with these four people holding him, maybe they could have rescued him, but the old tomb robber was cunning and was waiting for this moment."

"As soon as the incident happened, the old tomb robber jumped up like an old monkey, stepped on my shoulder, and rushed towards the living tomb robber. He kicked the two people who had not entered the sand pit down, and at the same time, he shot and injured the two people who had already passed by, and broke the rope by the way. After doing all this, the old tomb robber pulled me and ran away."

"More than a dozen people fell into the quicksand pit, all of them were trapped, and no one came out. The two people who were injured by the old tomb robber also died inside the tomb because they were not led by the old tomb robber."

"About half a month later, the old tomb robber set up shop again and brought people to this Tang tomb. When he passed by the quicksand pit, he showed off to us. Then I realized that it was this old scoundrel who had planned it all along."

With spit flying everywhere, Taotie told Fang Xiaocao and the other two about his childhood experience in the quicksand pit.

Taotie’s narration was not very vivid, but it still made Fang Xiaocao stunned and her mouth opened wide.

"Is this quicksand pit so dangerous?"

Fang Xiaocao looked at the sand pit in front of her with suspicion and subconsciously took a few steps back, fearing that she would fall in.

"Then how did the old tomb robber get through the quicksand pit the second time you went there?"

Tom was quick-witted and immediately grasped the useful information in the Taotie story and asked quickly.

Taotie smiled mysteriously: "It flew over!"

"Aha?"

Fang Xiaocao was stunned when he heard Taotie's words.

“Flew over there?”

"How to fly?"

Fang Xiaocao asked stupidly.

"Are all tomb robbers martial arts masters?"

Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself. Tom and Hummingbird, hearing Taotie's answer, also looked at Taotie in amazement.

It was not difficult for the two of them to imagine a group of tomb robbers flying over a quicksand pit.

This……

Not scientific!

I've been in the underground world for so long.

I have also seen so-called masters of Qinggong, but they are only agile, fast, able to jump high and far, which has nothing to do with flying. Moreover, it is very difficult to practice Qinggong. It is impossible for tomb robbers to be masters of Qinggong, right?

Seeing Fang Xiaocao and the other two staring at him blankly, Taotie laughed and said, "It really did fly over, but it didn't fly very high."

Fang Xiaocao recovered from her initial shock, rolled her eyes at Taotie, and said unhappily, "Hurry up and tell me, don't keep us in suspense!"

As he spoke, Fang Xiaocao clenched his fist and waved it at Taotie as a threat.

It seems to be saying: Should I say it or not?

If you don’t tell me, I’ll beat you up!
"Oops~"

"What are you doing~"

"Don't be so anxious~"

Taotie showed the unique expression of a macho man acting coquettishly.

Fang Xiaocao shuddered.

Even though Fang Xiaocao had seen Taotie's macho expression acting like a spoiled child many times, she still couldn't stand it!

Every time I watch it, I get a chill.

Goosebumps fell all over the place.

"Please, stop being a demon."

"I really can't stand your macho, spoiled expression."

Fang Xiaocao bowed to Taotie.

"Hehe~"

Taotie laughed contemptuously.

"When I say flying over, I don't mean flying over on the ground like you think. I mean flying over with tools."

Seeing that Fang Xiaocao was looking at him with increasingly unfriendly eyes, Taotie stopped keeping him in suspense and told the truth.

"tool?"

"What tool?"

"Can't you finish it in one breath?"

Fang Xiaocao glared at Taotie and said viciously.

"Flying claw!"

"We used the flying claw to get there!"

Looking at Fang Xiaocao's malicious expression, Taotie shuddered and quickly spoke.

"I see!"

Fang Xiaocao showed an expression of sudden realization.

Tom and Hummingbird on the side showed the same expression as Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao and the other two were familiar with the flying claw and knew what it was used for.

The flying claw was an indispensable theft tool for thieves in the old days.

To climb over high walls and sneak into the mansions of the rich, thieves rely on flying claws as their helper. Flying claws were also used in ancient times as a catching tool to catch bandits and bad guys on horseback. They would just throw them out and hook their shoulders and catch them instantly.
