Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 309 The cold breath

"Worried about me? Haha..." Li Fei laughed at himself, "Are you guys laughing at me?"

"No, Li Fei, we are really worried about you!" Zhao Da said, "We know you have a lot of resentment in your heart, but this is not a reason for you to go astray!"

Li Fei was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Chu Tian, ​​"Chu Tian, ​​do you... do you really believe me?"

Chu Tian nodded firmly, "I believe you, I always believe in you!"

Li Fei's eyes were moist, "Thank you, Chu Tian..."

"Li Fei, it's not too late to turn back now." Zhao Da persuaded, "As long as you are willing to turn over a new leaf, we will help you."

Li Fei shook his head. "It's too late... I've gone too far..." He pointed to the depths of the cave. "There... there is a secret passage that leads to the main tomb chamber of the ancient tomb..."

"Main tomb chamber?" Chu Tian and Zhao Da looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts.

"That jade pendant... is the key to the main tomb chamber..." Li Fei said intermittently, "I... I hid the jade pendant..."

His voice became weaker and weaker, and finally he stopped breathing.

"Li Fei!" Chu Tian shouted in grief.

Zhao Da sighed, "Let's go and see what's in the main tomb chamber."

The two walked deep into the cave and followed the secret passage that Li Fei mentioned, and came to a huge stone door.

The stone door is carved with intricate patterns and has a groove in the middle, the shape of which exactly matches the jade pendant.

Chu Tian took out the jade pendant and put it into the groove.

Rumble…

The stone door slowly opened, and a cold breath rushed towards me...

Behind the stone gate was a long and narrow corridor, with flickering torches dotted on the walls on both sides, illuminating the road ahead. A cold wind blew from deep in the corridor, bringing with it a smell of decay that made people shudder.

Chu Tian and Zhao Da walked in carefully. The floor of the corridor was very smooth, as if it had been polished for thousands of years. They walked very slowly, fearing that they would trigger some mechanism.

"This place... is a bit creepy..." Zhao Da said in a low voice.

Chu Tian didn't say anything, but just held the dagger tightly in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

The corridor was very long and it took them about a quarter of an hour to reach the end.

At the end is a spacious tomb chamber with a huge sarcophagus in the center. The sarcophagus is surrounded by various funerary objects, including gold, silver, jewelry, jade, porcelain, and everything else.

"I got it! I really got it this time!" Zhao Da's eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands excitedly.

Chu Tian frowned, he always felt something was wrong. The tomb was too quiet, so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.

"Wait!" Chu Tian grabbed Zhao Da and said, "Don't move!"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Da asked in confusion.

"Look!" Chu Tian pointed at the area around the sarcophagus, "These burial objects...seem...to be fake!"

Zhao Da took a closer look and found that the gold, silver and jewelry had lost their luster and the jade and porcelain looked rough. They were obviously fakes.

"How could this happen?" Zhao Da said disappointedly.

At this moment, a "cracking" sound suddenly came from the top of the tomb.

Chu Tian and Zhao Da looked up and saw the top of the tomb slowly opening, revealing a pitch-black hole.

"Oh no! It's a trap!" Chu Tian shouted and pulled Zhao Da back.

But it was too late. Countless poisonous arrows shot out from the cave entrance, densely packed and covering the sky.

Chu Tian and Zhao Da were unable to dodge and were hit by several arrows, bleeding profusely.

"Ah!" Zhao Da screamed and fell to the ground.

Chu Tian endured the pain and pulled Zhao Da to hide behind the sarcophagus.

"What should we do? Are we...are we going to die here..." Zhao Da said weakly.

Chu Tian didn't say anything. He clenched his teeth, took out a bottle of medicine powder from his arms, and sprinkled it on Zhao Da's wound.

"What is this?" Zhao Da asked.

"Hemostatic medicine." Chu Tian said, "Stop the bleeding first, then we can find a way out."

The poisonous arrows continued to fall, and the sarcophagus had been shot into a sieve and could collapse at any time.

"This is not a solution..." Chu Tian said, "We have to find a way to... block that hole!"

"But...how to block it?" asked Zhao Da.

Chu Tian looked around, and suddenly, his eyes fell on the sarcophagus in the center of the tomb.

"Got it!" Chu Tian said, "Let's push the sarcophagus over!"

"But... the sarcophagus is so heavy..." said Zhao Da.

"Let's fight!" Chu Tian gritted his teeth and used all his strength to push the sarcophagus towards the cave entrance.

Zhao Da also endured the pain and helped Chu Tian push.

The sarcophagus was very heavy and they had a lot of trouble pushing it. Every step they took required tremendous effort.

The poison arrows continued to shoot down, and they were hit by several arrows again, and their clothes were stained with blood.

Finally, they pushed the sarcophagus under the cave entrance.

"Hurry! Push it up!" Chu Tian shouted.

The two men used up their last bit of strength to push the sarcophagus up.

With a "boom", the sarcophagus blocked the entrance of the cave and the poisonous arrows stopped shooting.

Chu Tian and Zhao Da collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

They were all seriously injured and their blood stained the ground red.

"We...we survived..." Zhao Da said weakly.

Chu Tian didn't say anything. He closed his eyes and felt his consciousness gradually blurring out...

At this moment, the door of the tomb suddenly opened and a figure walked in.

"Are you... okay?"

Chu Tian and Zhao Da opened their eyes and were stunned when they saw the person coming.

The person who came was actually... Li Fei!

"You... aren't you dead?" Chu Tian asked in surprise.

Li Fei smiled and said, "I lied to you... I just wanted you to give up..."

"Why...are you doing this?" Zhao Da asked.

"Because... I don't want you to... get the treasure here..." Li Fei said, "The treasure here... is mine..."

"Yours?" Chu Tian sneered, "Do you think... you can get out alive?"

Li Fei's face changed, "What... do you want to do?"

"What?" Chu Tian struggled to stand up, "Of course... to kill you!"

Chu Tian coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the fishy-sweet taste filled his mouth. He tried to support his body, pointing the dagger in his hand at Li Fei, and the tip of the knife trembled slightly. "You... do you think we will still believe your lies?"

Zhao Da also struggled to stand up, holding his still bleeding wound, staring at Li Fei fiercely. "That's right! You despicable villain! You almost killed us!"

Li Fei's face turned pale and he stepped back repeatedly. "No... no... I... I just..."

"Just what? Just want to keep the treasure for yourself?" Chu Tian pressed forward step by step, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Li Fei shook his head in panic, "No... No... I... I just want to... want to protect it..."
