I received a text message from the future. Is it reasonable for me to earn tens of billions?

Chapter 281 Tom's self-rescue!
Tom took a deep breath, his eyes became determined, and he said, "No matter what, let's take a gamble. The longer it takes, the more I lose my strength. Taotie, you and Hummingbird, take the princess away and find a safe place to wait for me."

"If I die, you must protect Her Royal Highness the Princess and bring her out of the ancient tomb safely."

Taotie nodded: "Don't worry, I will!"

"Tom..."

Fang Xiaocao looked at Tom and was about to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Tom gave Taotie a look. Taotie understood, nodded, and walked to Fang Xiaocao.

next second!
Taotie hugged Fang Xiaocao fiercely, carried her on his shoulders, and strode forward along the tomb passage.

Seeing this scene, the hummingbird immediately followed.

"Yeah~"

"Taotie, let me go..."

Being carried on the shoulders of Taotie, Fang Xiaocao felt ashamed and angry and let out a series of exclamations.

"Princess, please bear with it."

Taotie ignored Fang Xiaocao's struggle.

After struggling for a while, he saw that Taotie was unmoved.

Just give up struggling.

He obediently let Taotie carry him away.

Watching Taotie carrying Fang Xiaocao away.

Tom took a deep breath, took out the flying claw launcher that Taotie had just stuffed into his hands, and looked up at the beams supporting the tomb passage.

Life or death is entirely up to God.

Tom's backpack was still taken away by the hummingbird.

If he died here.

Then he won't be able to use the equipment in his backpack.

It would be better to let Fang Xiaocao and the others take it away, so as to give them an extra guarantee to leave the ancient tomb safely.

Tom took another deep breath.

He calmed himself down and pressed the talon launcher.

There was a soft "whoosh" sound.

The flying claw was ejected from the launcher.

With a "clang" sound, sparks flew everywhere.

The flying claws firmly grasped the beam above the head.

With a "click", the flying claw was locked.

Tom didn't dare pull the rope connecting the grappling hook.

Tom was afraid that the beam above his head was, just as Taotie had said, tampered with.

Once it receives the falling force from below, it will collapse instantly. If the beam collapses, not only will he die, but Fang Xiaocao and the other two who have not yet reached a safe place will also be killed by the activated mechanism.

Tom was waiting, waiting for Taotie and the others to reach a safe enough place and give him a signal.

That's when he should take action.

It's also the time for him to gamble his life!
Taotie carried Fang Xiaocao and walked for ten meters before he began to slow down and his steps became cautious: "Hummingbird, from now on, you walk on the tiles I stepped on, don't walk around randomly."

Hummingbird nodded: "Okay!"

The hummingbird responded, its eyes fixed on Taotie's footsteps, following Taotie's instructions without missing a step, and walking on the tiles that Taotie had stepped on.

Ten meters is still far enough.

The average pit is only this big at most.

If it is bigger, the construction will be too difficult.

In ancient times, the amount of manpower and material resources required just to dig such a large pit was enormous.

Generally, this kind of pit is no more than five meters long.

Ten meters is the longest pit the old tomb robber has ever seen.

In fact, Taotie didn’t think that the trap in this ancient tomb would be so big.

But for Fang Xiaocao's safety, Taotie didn't dare to take any risks and still followed the biggest record.

Even at ten meters, Taotie felt unsafe.

I decided to carry Fang Xiaocao and walk a little further with the hummingbird to ensure a safe distance.

Taotie carried Fang Xiaocao and walked another ten meters.

A full twenty meters.

Not to mention a general's tomb.

Even if it was the imperial mausoleum of a powerful dynasty, it would not be possible to undertake such a huge project just for a single institution.

It's not worth it and there's no need.

Not to mention twenty meters.

Ten meters is enough to be insane.

With this kind of mechanism, five meters is enough to kill someone. How far can an ordinary person jump in a standing long jump?
The world record for standing long jump is around three meters.

Standing long jump triple jump, ten meters or so.

That was a full-strength jump by a top athlete.

A top killer like Tom is only at this level.

It won’t be too far, no more than one meter.

But don’t forget!
There was a trigger mechanism under Tom's feet.

If Tom jumps with all his strength.

He exerted force with his legs and pressed the mechanism at that moment.

The ground beneath Tom's feet will begin to collapse.

At that moment, Tom had no leverage.

Five meter jump?
He didn't fall directly, even though he reacted quickly.

So, five meters doesn't seem far.

But for top killers, it is also a gap.

Five meters is the distance to the gate of hell.

Isn’t ten meters insane?
Twenty meters...

Not only is the project huge, but it is also costly and labor-intensive.

Even a tyrant king would not do such a thing. He would do this in his own tomb for the sake of a single mechanism.

Even a tyrant is like this...

What's more, he is a general?

Without Fang Xiaocao, Taotie can only walk ten meters at most.

One meter more is disrespectful to the tyrant.

Taotie put down the grass and said, "Princess, don't move. There may be a trap nearby."

After hearing what Taotie said, Fang Xiaocao, who originally wanted to move his hands and feet, immediately froze in place and dared not move.

"Hummingbird, signal Tom."

Taotie said to the hummingbird.

"it is good!"

Hummingbird nodded and responded.

Hummingbird pulled out his gun and fired towards the depths of the tomb ahead.

There was a "bang" gunshot.

Fang Xiaocao's ears were buzzing from the shock.

In wide areas, the sound of gunfire was very loud.

Not to mention in such a small space.

After firing one shot, the hummingbird put away its gun.

Three people, three pairs of eyes, all pricked up their ears, waiting for Tom to start moving, the sound of the ground collapsing.

Taotie and the others can't see Tom here.

Because this tomb passage seems to be straight.

In fact, it is a visual illusion. When designing the tomb passage, the designer secretly made some adjustments, causing people walking in the tomb passage to take a detour unknowingly.

the other side!
I heard a loud gunshot coming from the front.

Tom took a deep breath and let it out hard.

Tom grabbed the rope of the flying claw, gritted his teeth, and pulled it hard.

The beam did not collapse!

Tom was delighted!
The first critical point was safely passed.

"Hahaha……"

"A good start, a good sign!"

Tom's face lit up and he began to laugh.

Tom had been standing in an awkward posture and felt his legs starting to ache.

If he stayed any longer, he would not be able to hold on any longer.

Tom sprang into action.

Tom quickly passed the grappling rope through the buckle of his tactical belt, locked the buckle, and pressed the button on the grappling launcher to tighten the rope.

As the flying claw rope was stretched straight, Tom took a few deep breaths and adjusted his mentality.

next second!
Grab the flying claw rope and lift your feet off the ground.

With a "crack", the floor tile that Tom stepped on suddenly rebounded...
