With a whistle, Jin Yunu and the long-faced Arhat Cat jumped into the hole first.

He then scooped up Yin Xinyue and shoved her directly into the hole!

Everything happened too suddenly and too fast.

Before Yin Xinyue could react, she found herself in a cold and dark environment, with only two pairs of cat eyes emitting golden and blue light beside her, and nothing else in sight.

Yin Xinyue shouted in fear and anger, "Li Xiaohu, you bastard!"

Li Xiaohu ignored her, picked up a branch from the ground, and then climbed over the hole.

"Pfft!"

But unexpectedly, he fell onto a soft body.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Yin Xinyue's scream suddenly came from below, and at the same time, a strong force pushed Li Xiaohu away.

"Li Xiaohu, I'll kill you!"

Yin Xinyue raised her fists, but she couldn't see Li Xiaohu at all.

"call!"

in the dark.

A small flame suddenly lit up, illuminating the lower half of Li Xiaohu's face.

Yin Xinyue was startled by the suddenness of the attack, and her heart skipped a beat. Her previous anger vanished instantly, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

By the dim light of the tinderbox.

Li Xiaohu tore a piece of cloth from his jacket, tied it to a tree branch, and then took out a small bottle filled with gasoline from his pocket and poured it onto the cloth.

Then, by lighting it with a tinderbox, a simple torch is made.

The bright light of the torches dispelled most of the darkness.

This allows the two people to see each other's appearance clearly, as well as the two cats beside them.

"Stand still."

Li Xiaohu told Yin Xinyue to stay where she was, then turned and walked into the darkness with the torch in his hand.

"Hey......"

Once again plunged into darkness, Yin Xinyue became nervous and at a loss.

"Meow."

Suddenly, Jin Yunu's cat meowed at her feet, and this time it inexplicably made her feel much more at ease.

"Smash!" "Smash!" "Smash!"

Suddenly, bright lights appeared in the darkness.

Li Xiaohu was standing in front of a wall, reaching out to light an ever-burning lamp on it with a torch.

Yin Xinyue hurried over to Li Xiaohu's side and quietly asked, "Where are we?"

Li Xiaohu held up the torch and looked around.

The four walls are not far apart, and several murals and reliefs can be vaguely seen on them.

The murals and reliefs on the wall vividly depict the life and deeds of a general wearing armor and a golden crown.

Yin Xinyue glanced at a picture and suddenly met the eyes of the "general" in it, who was frowning and glaring angrily.

The figures in the mural trembled under the flickering firelight, as if they had come alive, which was especially eerie in this dark and cold environment.

She was startled and quickly grabbed Li Xiaohu's arm beside her!

Li Xiaohu glanced at Yin Xinyue indifferently, then turned back to continue observing the tomb environment.

Scattered weapons and armor, as well as some pottery, ironware, bronzeware and other burial objects, were laid on the floor of the tomb.

He then said with some relief, "It seems we're very lucky; we've broken right into the main burial chamber."

"The main burial chamber?" Yin Xinyue asked, somewhat puzzled. "Shouldn't there be the coffin of the tomb's occupant there?"

Although Yin Xinyue had never robbed a tomb, she knew some basic knowledge about tombs.

Since it is the main burial chamber, there must be a coffin inside.

But in the tomb they are in now, there is no coffin in sight!

"But why don't I see a coffin?"

Chapter Twelve - I didn't expect you to have such good taste? (Seeking flowers and reviews~)

Li Xiaohu remembered that the coffin in the Jin general's tomb was hidden underground and would only appear after a mechanism was triggered.

He then replied, "It must be hidden somewhere."

"Stay put, I'll go find the mechanism."

But before Li Xiaohu could take two steps, Yin Xinyue caught up, saying in a somewhat frightened tone,

"I will go with you."

Li Xiaohu did not refuse, but only reminded him, "Don't move around too much later."

"Mmm." Yin Xinyue nodded, unusually so, becoming very obedient.

The two arrived at a tomb wall.

There is a heavy stone door above, which should be the tomb entrance.

Li Xiaohu reached out and groped at the tomb door.

suddenly!

A crisp "tap-tap!" sound rang out beside me!

Look back.

Yin Xinyue also looked at herself with a completely bewildered expression.

"what happened?"

"call out!"

Li Xiaohu suddenly caught a glimpse of a silver light flashing behind Yin Xinyue out of the corner of his eye!

"Get down!"

With a loud shout, he pounced forward and tackled Yin Xinyue to the ground!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Countless arrows shot out from the tomb walls, heading straight for the two!

Luckily, Li Xiaohu tackled Yin Xinyue, but he was still hurt by the gusts of wind coming from behind!

Looking at Li Xiaohu lying on top of her, Yin Xinyue, for the first time, did not feel embarrassed or annoyed, but asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Because this time she knew that Li Xiaohu was trying to save her.

If it weren't for him.

I'm afraid I'll be riddled with bullets by now.

"I'm fine." Li Xiaohu got up, looking annoyed, and scolded, "Didn't I tell you not to move around? What did you move this time?"

"It's fine if you're courting death, but don't kill me!"

Upon hearing this, Yin Xinyue immediately frowned, and the gratitude she had just felt vanished instantly!

It seems that he saved me just now only because I was still of use to him, and not because he had any kindness in his heart!

He's a complete scoundrel at heart! A bastard!

"You!..." Yin Xinyue wanted to retort, but after thinking about it, she decided to let him off this time. In the end, she changed her words and said, "Say what you want, but I really didn't do anything reckless this time!"

Li Xiaohu saw that Yin Xinyue's expression was sincere and she didn't seem to be lying to him.

He picked up the torch and shone it around.

They discovered that there was a sunken floor tile where Yin Xinyue had been standing.

Even she herself could fall into such a trap, so it's really no wonder she was caught.

Li Xiaohu sighed, glanced at the arrows lying on the ground, and noticed that the arrowheads were still gleaming with silver light. He then warned, "Be careful of these arrows; the arrowheads are coated with deadly poison."

Yin Xinyue glanced in that direction and involuntarily took a few steps back.

However, she didn't notice that her actions brought her even closer to Li Xiaohu.

Li Xiaohu turned to look at the tomb entrance and continued to carefully explore it.

Not long after.
