Chapter 610 Small Footprints

Chen Ziyan didn't know why the mechanism appeared above his head, but he no longer had time to figure it out. The most important thing for them now was to leave here.

So the next second he used the force to swam up and pressed down hard on the dented tomb brick.

As the tomb brick was pushed in, there was a sound of a mechanism turning, and a pitch-black hole suddenly appeared on the ground under the feet of Chen Ziyan and the others.

Before anyone could react, a large amount of bubbles gushed out of the hole, followed by an irresistible suction force that sucked everyone around in.

Even Chen Ziyan, who was in the tomb passage, was no exception. Although he resisted a little due to the intensity of the situation, he was eventually sucked into the vortex.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that he did not resist. If Chen Ziyan had really tried his best to resist, a whirlpool of this magnitude might not have been able to do anything to him.

After entering the vortex below, Chen Ziyan felt like he had entered a washing machine. He could only curl up his body as much as possible to avoid unnecessary collisions during the rotation.

It may be a few minutes, or it may be more than ten minutes. Chen Zi, feeling the water around him return to calm, stretched out his body.

With the help of the overhead light, he quickly saw the surrounding situation.

They should be in a relatively closed space now. The others are next to him. Some of them have fainted due to the continuous height choices, but some are still barely awake, but in very bad condition.

I looked at the wall next to it and it should be made of high-quality white marble.

Combining the information in his mind, Chen Ziyan quickly got the answer. They successfully entered the underwater tomb, and this should be the spring in the ear chamber.

Thinking this way, he used the force to move upwards and soon reached the surface of the water. After sticking his head out of the water and feeling the change in temperature, Chen Ziyan was completely sure of his guess.

They did arrive inside the underwater tomb.

Without rushing to explore this ear chamber, Chen Ziyan, together with the equally sober Huahu, began to move the guys in the water to the shore.

It’s okay for those who are awake, but if those who are knocked unconscious by the vortex are not taken care of, accidents are likely to happen.

After getting everyone out of the water, Chen Ziyan asked the few people who were conscious to look after the others, while he himself began to observe this ear chamber.

This attic is a standard rectangular structure. Apart from the fifty star map painted on the top of the pagoda, there is no other decoration, making it look very simple and unpretentious.

There should have been some murals on the walls of the tomb, but due to severe corrosion from water vapor, the content can no longer be seen clearly and only a bunch of blurry colorful marks can be seen.

But when he saw the funerary objects in the corner of the tomb, Chen Ziyan instantly dispelled his previous evaluation. With these things placed here, this tomb was definitely not simple at all.

There were more than a hundred funerary porcelains in the corner, including several priceless blue and white jars. The overall value of this batch of porcelains can be imagined.

However, what Chen Ziyan cared about most was not these valuable burial objects, but the chaotic footprints on the ground.

Because there is a lot of dust on the ground, the footprints are particularly conspicuous, and that is why some details are hard to ignore.

For example... the extremely glaring small footprint that appeared in front of Chen Ziyan at this moment.

The footprints were small and looked like they belonged to a child who was no older than three years old.

White-haired drought demon!

Chen Ziyan, who had most of the information about the underwater tomb, found the corresponding existence at the first time.

But what puzzled him was that Wu Sansheng and the others had not been here yet. How could this little drought demon, which should have been locked in the coffin, run out early?
Wait! It's not impossible!
If someone has come in before, they will most likely release the white-haired drought demon trapped in the coffin.

As for who it was, Chen Ziyan thought of the large blue and white porcelain jar found on the island.

If he guessed correctly, the large blue and white jar was taken out from this side chamber.

"Master Chen!"

At this time, several guys who had recovered came over.

"Look at these footprints, what do you think?" Chen Ziyan gestured for them to look at the small footprints in front of them.

"These footprints..." When they saw the footprints on the ground, they were all shocked.

After all, this is a tomb, an ancient tomb that has been silent for hundreds of years. The sudden appearance of a child's footprints is hard not to be surprised.

But they could see that these footprints were definitely left in recent years, otherwise they would have been covered by dust long ago.

One of them seemed to have thought of something, and said uncertainly: "There used to be a big boss on the road, nicknamed Guotangfeng. It is said that he was born with supernatural bones and can shrink to the size of a three-year-old child..."

Although he didn't finish his words, Chen Ziyan already understood what he meant. He wanted to know whether there was someone who was also proficient in bone shrinking technique and had been here before.

But before Chen Ziyan could say anything, someone nearby refuted him, "A special case like a draught may not occur once in many years. How could it happen here by chance? Besides, if you look closely at the footprints, they are clearly the feet of a child. No matter how small an adult's feet are, they will not leave such footprints."

Chen Ziyan saw that the groundwork had been laid, so he took the initiative to say, "Look at what's on the footprints."

The guy who had spoken earlier lowered his head and looked carefully. He soon found a layer of wax on the footprints. He took out a knife and scraped it gently. He put it to his nose and smelled it. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is corpse wax!"

Hearing his call, the other guys hurried forward, and after confirming, their faces became serious.

As underground workers, they were very familiar with corpse wax and knew exactly what its appearance represented.

Combined with the footprints on the ground, doesn’t it mean that there is a small dumpling hidden here?

At this time they also realized that Chen Ziyan had probably discovered something long ago, so they all looked at him.

"I'm not sure, but there is definitely something." Chen Ziyan did not give a definite answer.

The reason why he didn't remind others explicitly was that he didn't want others to know that he knew too much about this tomb.

"This place is so weird!" someone exclaimed.

It's not like they haven't been to strange tombs before, but it's rare for them to encounter such a thing as this one right after entering an ancient tomb.

"Check the tomb chamber, and we'll talk about the rest after everyone has rested." Chen Ziyan said softly.

He took the initiative to give them clues about the white-haired drought demon in order to make these people more vigilant and not be fooled by those porcelains.

Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to continue.

As for other things, it’s not too late to talk about them after we leave here.
