As soon as Chen Wenjin entered, she heard the sound of the stone platform collapsing. Chen Wenjin turned around and saw a broken piece of the stone platform falling in the middle of the stone platform.

The bead in the center of the stone platform fell down, rolled twice, and disappeared into the corridor.

Chen Ze and Chen Wenjin looked at each other and both had an inexplicable feeling, as if the bead was a living thing.

Chen Ze picked up the stone platform on the ground and covered the secret door again.

Only after doing all this did Chen Ze and Chen Wenjin breathe a sigh of relief.

"Did you see anything just now?" Chen Ze asked.

Chen Wenjin shook her head, "No, but I have a feeling that this mausoleum is not simple."

"How do you know this place is not simple?" Chen Ze asked puzzledly. This mausoleum is located in the palace of the Kingdom of Chen. It should not be complicated.

"Let's go back first." Chen Wenjin did not answer Chen Ze.

"Okay, let's go out first." Chen Ze did not force it. After all, there were many valuable things in here, such as the ring.

Chen Ze threw the ring into the storage ring. After all, this kind of thing is not suitable to be placed outside.

After returning outside, Chen Ze discovered that the tunnel was gone. Not only that, even the coffin board was gone. Chen Ze glanced at Chen Jianjun lying in the pit, then looked at the tombstone in his backpack, and immediately understood who did it.

"Where is the tunnel you mentioned?" Chen Ze asked.

"No, you just lost the ring, and I ran back because I was afraid there might be danger in the tunnel. Let's go quickly." Chen Wenjin urged Chen Ze to leave.

Chen Ze nodded and walked back with Chen Wenjin.

The return journey was much slower. It took the two men nearly ten minutes to pass through the corridor. A stone wall appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

However, on the other side of the stone wall is a narrow path, and at the end of the path there is a cave.

"You go in and investigate the situation first. Be careful and call me if you find anything." Chen Ze instructed Chen Wenjin.

"Okay, you should be careful too and don't run around." After giving the instructions, Chen Wenjin turned around and climbed into the stone wall.

Chen Ze squatted down, opened his backpack and checked it to make sure no treasure was missed.

After checking, Chen Ze also began to grope inside the stone wall.

"Sha, sha, sha..." The sound of Chen Ze's light footsteps was heard.

Chen Ze observed his surroundings vigilantly.

Chen Ze found that the surroundings were empty and there was nothing unusual.

Just as Chen Ze was about to leave, a snake suddenly jumped out from under his feet!
Chen Ze immediately rolled over to avoid the snake's sneak attack.

Although the snake was just an ordinary python and not a venomous snake, the bite could be fatal.

"Plop..." A drop of red liquid fell on the ground.

"Snake blood?" Chen Ze picked up a dagger, cut his wrist, and then smeared the blood on the snake's tail.

"Hiss...hiss...hiss..." The snake that was about to escape was attracted by the smell of Chen Ze's blood. Not only did it not leave, but it stayed, opened its mouth and spit out its tongue to Chen Ze.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" As the tongue gushed out, the snake suddenly fell down, shaking its head as if it was drunk.

"Bang!" The snake's head fell beside Chen Ze.

Chen Ze bent down and took a look at the snake's head. He found a hole on the snake's head. It was obvious that the snake's head had just been pierced by a dagger.

"So that's how it is!" Chen Ze suddenly realized.

At this time, Chen Wenjin has returned...

When Chen Wenjin came back, she found that Chen Ze had actually caught a snake, a big black python. Chen Wenjin couldn't help but ask Chen Ze worriedly: "Are you crazy? You caught such a big snake." "Shh~ keep your voice down." Chen Ze quickly covered Chen Wenjin's mouth, signaling Chen Wenjin to keep his voice down.

When Chen Wenjin saw Chen Ze’s serious expression, she also became serious because the expression on Chen Ze’s face was too solemn.

Chen Ze carefully moved the snake to the side.

I just saw the snake crawling out of the crack at the bottom of the stone table." Chen Ze explained.

Chen Wenjin stared at Chen Ze in surprise, "Is there a mechanism here?"

Chen Ze nodded. "Yes, the bead just fell to the ground, and the snake chased it and died. So I guessed which hole the snake went in from. I just found this hole, and the snake followed it in. I guess there may be secret doors in other corners of this stone room, but I haven't found them yet."

"Then what should we do? It will be troublesome if we encounter danger again." Chen Wenjin suggested.

"No, I have to go in and take a look at the snake's body to see if I can find anything." Chen Ze said firmly, because the snake's body was so strange that if he didn't figure out the cause of its death, Chen Ze would not be able to sleep or eat.

Chen Wenjin also agreed: "Okay! Then I'll wait for you outside."

"Yeah!" Chen Ze nodded, then reached his hand into the crevice.

"Hiss~Hiss~Hiss~" As soon as Chen Ze put his hand in, a snake's sound was heard.

Chen Ze quickly retracted his hand because he felt countless snakes swimming towards him, and Chen Ze eagerly pulled out the dagger.

"Fuck!" Chen Ze couldn't help but curse as soon as he pulled out the dagger.

I saw that the soil in the cracks of the rocks had been stained red with blood, and even red sticky liquid was flowing out in some places.

"This is snake gall!" Chen Wenjin blurted out when she saw Chen Ze's right hand holding the dagger was covered in blood.

Chen Ze nodded. "It seems so. This blood belongs to it. It's obvious that it was killed in this way."

Chen Ze carefully examined the snake's body. There were three knife marks on the snake's abdomen, all of which were penetrating. It was very likely that the snake was killed in one blow.

Chen Ze thrust the dagger into the ground.

"Dong~" The tip of the dagger pierced into the floor tile, and the entire dagger sank an inch into the ground.

Chen Wenjin looked at the scene in front of her in surprise.

Chen Ze pulled out the dagger, which was still stained with blood.

Chen Ze scratched the floor tiles twice with the dagger, and a thick layer of gravel was scraped off by Chen Ze.

Chen Ze dug out a piece of jade the size of a football.

Chen Wenjin came over to take a look: "This is...blood jadeite!"

Chen Wenjin knew this thing. Her family ran an antique shop. Although she was not a top antique dealer, she had seen the world. Such a large piece of blood jadeite was of extraordinary value.

Chen Ze was also very excited when he saw the blood jadeite in front of him. This was really like a pillow given to you when you were sleepy.

"We're rich!" Chen Zele said happily.

"What's going on? Why is there a fishy smell?" Chen Wenjin frowned.

"Uh, maybe it's blood." Chen Ze also smelled the fishy smell.

"Forget it, let's go out first. It's uncomfortable staying in here." Chen Wenjin doesn't like this gloomy and damp environment, especially the moss everywhere. It feels soft and slippery when you step on it, which always makes Chen Wenjin feel chilly.

"Okay!" Chen Ze didn't want to stay here either. He hadn't been back for so long, and God knew what was happening to Lin Siyuan and his group.

Chen Ze and Chen Wenjin returned to the cave along the passage they came from. This time, neither of them dared to walk too far, so they rested at the corner of the passage.

Chen Wenjin took out a flashlight and shone it around, looking for a way out. (End of this chapter)
