Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

When the three of them arrived at the entrance, they found out that there were no steps after it. Only a narrow passage that extended diagonally was available to walk through. It was inclined upwards, and only one person at a time could pass through.

"Sir, please lead the way," Zachary requested Andrew.

"What? Why me?" Andrew protested.

"Because if there are some powerful gears in this passage, your body is more suitable to be used as a shield," Zachary reasoned out.

Andrew glared at him. However, he knew that Zachary's suggestion made sense—the tomb was indeed dangerous.

A gust of cold wind whipped behind Zachary's ear. He turned around to see who attacked him—it turned out that two terracotta warriors were rushing towards him. There was an obviously strong killing intent wafting from them.

Zachary was quick to think on his feet. Without missing a single beat, he released Jules' power. An astonishing flame rushed out of his body, turning into two streams of fire and burning the two terracotta warriors to ashes.

However, before they knew it, the three of them were absolutely surrounded by hundreds of powerful terracotta warriors. They were in a pinch!
