Suddenly, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, and the archaeologists instantly felt the fear of the ancient battlefield, as if they were in the tragic charge of thousands of troops. Behind every victory were mountains of corpses.

This rain of arrows traveled through two thousand years of time, as if it came directly from an ancient battlefield, and now it fell on their fragile bodies.

In this sudden fear, the team members forgot to struggle for a moment.

The speed of retreat was far slower than the speed of the rain of arrows. In a few breaths, life and death hung by a thread.

However, at this critical moment, a figure flashed by like lightning, so fast that the archaeologists could hardly catch it.

When they came to their senses, Han Feng had already stepped forward, stood in front of everyone, opened the diamond umbrella, and shouted: "What are you standing there for? Back off!"

Professor Zhu and others finally woke up from their dream and quickly retreated.

The arrows hit the Vajra Umbrella one after another, making a "ding-dong" sound, and then fell weakly to the ground.

But the huge impact force and the continuous arrows made Han Feng's mouth hurt, and he was constantly beaten back.

Even so, he still protected all the archaeologists behind him by himself.

At this time, Bai Hua took a few steps forward, and his eyes met with Han Feng's, and they instantly understood each other.

He jumped up, stepped on Han Feng's Vajra Umbrella, and with the help of Han Feng's strength, pounced on the rain of arrows like a tiger.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, Bai Hua faced the rain of arrows in the air. Professor Zhu and others looked at this scene in amazement, their hearts filled with disbelief.

They once wondered where the strange beast roar came from, but now they wondered if it was also caused by the white birch.

The copper coin bracelet on Ajing's wrist trembled violently again. She held the bracelet tightly with one hand and looked at Bai Hua who leaped into the air with disbelief.

He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, had a slender figure, a cold face, and bangs covering his eyes, but it couldn't hide his fierceness.

The black gold ancient sword in his hand was swung up, like a black barrier, and no arrows could get close to his body.

Taking advantage of this inertia, Bai Hua rushed straight towards the city wall under the rain of arrows, the red light on his body as dazzling as flames.

As his figure disappeared over the city wall, bursts of noise were heard.

Several mechanical crossbows and wooden dummies that were cut in half fell from the city wall and into the moat.

Obviously, the soldiers standing on the city wall before were just wooden men made of mechanical devices.

"This... is such an amazing skill!"

Professor Zhu and others were stunned. They simply couldn't believe their eyes.

Such a high city wall was climbed so easily with the combined efforts of two people?

Moreover, Bai Hua's kung fu is so amazing that even arrows can't hurt him at all, just like an ancient general standing on the city wall with a sword in hand!

At the same time, the rain of arrows stopped.

Han Feng slowly straightened up, put the Vajra Umbrella aside, and flexed his wrists.

The dense array of arrows all around was shocking, and the black poison laced on the arrowheads was even more chilling.

However, Han Feng's face remained calm, as if he was used to this kind of experience.

But the archaeologists behind him were extremely shocked.

If Han Feng hadn't come to the rescue, they would probably have died on the spot!

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Bai Hua appeared on the city wall.

He destroyed all the mechanisms and demonstrated his strong fighting ability.

Zhu Qingyang smiled helplessly: "Bloodline warriors have such strong bodies. Fortunately, he is our friend. Otherwise, it would be a real headache!"

Then, Bai Hua swung the black gold ancient sword and chopped it hard on the black iron chain.

The black gold ancient sword cut through iron like mud and cut the chain in an instant.

The suspended suspension bridge slowly fell down, and with a loud bang, it was re-erected on the moat.

Bai Hua jumped down without hesitation, and such a height did not cause any harm to him at all.

Everyone in the archaeological team was completely convinced of his abilities.

At this moment, silence enveloped everyone.

The minds of Professor Zhu and others were blank, even Zhang Xiaoxian was the same.

Although she knew that the 788 Exploration Team was capable, she had never imagined that their abilities were so extraordinary.

The leaps and leaps back and forth were even more outrageous than those in movies and TV dramas!

Bai Hua slowly retracted the black gold ancient sword and seemed to have discovered something serious while standing on the suspension bridge.

He came to Han Feng and said, "There are traces of burning on the suspension bridge, and there are traces of old dragging by the moat..."

Hearing this, Han Feng frowned: "Has anyone entered the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum before us?"

Just as Han Feng finished speaking, Xu Hao came to Bai Hua with a surprised expression and looked him up and down.

Then he stretched out a hand and pressed gently on Bai Hua's body, as if he doubted whether he was a mortal.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Zhu Qingyang shouted immediately.

Xu Hao just came back to his senses and looked at Bai Hua with admiration: "Brother, how did you do it?"

This question also raised the doubts in the minds of other archaeologists.

In response, Bai Hua just looked at Xu Hao calmly without answering.

Professor Zhu looked at Bai Hua and the others with a bit of awe in his eyes.

The power they demonstrated was beyond imagination.

"Thank you very much, comrade!" Professor Zhu expressed his sincere gratitude.

When the other members heard his voice, they came to their senses and suddenly felt as if they had survived a disaster.

"Thank you so much!"

"Yes, if you two hadn't helped us, we would have been dead this time."

"I am grateful for your kindness. If you can be of any use to me in the future, please let me know."

"Thank you, you are worthy of being military comrades!"

Everyone expressed their gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.

This team was ordered by their superiors to rescue themselves, and now they have saved themselves again, which inevitably moved the members of the archaeological team.

"Let's not talk about this for now..." Han Feng turned around and looked at Professor Zhu, "Professor, do you know who has ever stepped into the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum?"

Professor Zhu frowned upon hearing this, and hesitated to say...

"Logically speaking, the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang should have remained unexcavated for two thousand years.

However, there are some sporadic records in unofficial history. For example, "Han Shu" once recorded that after Xiang Yu entered the Pass, he extensively destroyed the ground buildings of the imperial mausoleum.

In addition, there is a claim that Huang Chao robbed the Qin Mausoleum, but it is only a suspicion and has not been confirmed.

Warlord Fu Wen was also mentioned to be related to Qin Ling...

But these are just rumors and have not been accepted by the academic community.

It is generally believed that the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum has never been discovered, and that historical records only record the excavation of the tombs of other Qin Dynasty kings, which could never be the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang!

But now these signs...are indeed somewhat puzzling.”

Han Feng pondered for a moment and nodded:

“It seems that someone may have entered the Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum, but it seems that no one has broken through the wall.

This can explain why there are traces of fire on the suspension bridge.

But what about the drag marks along the moat?"

As if in response to Han Feng's doubts, Zhu Qingyang suddenly pointed at the moat and shouted:

"Look, something is coming out!"

Everyone immediately looked in the direction Zhu Qingyang pointed, and saw ripples in the moat.

Immediately afterwards, several red-scaled flat-headed snakes crawled out of the moat, spitting out their tongues at the crowd.

These snakes are quite strange, with the bodies of pythons and the fangs of venomous snakes. Even Professor Zhu and others could not recognize what species they were.

But at this moment, Zhu Qingyang took a breath of cold air:

"Oops...we are in big trouble!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yingying asked curiously:

"Do you know this kind of snake?"

Zhu Qingyang nodded bitterly:

“Yes, this is the Red Fire Scale Python, a poisonous creature that has long been extinct.

They have the size and strength of a python, but with venom that can kill prey many times their size in seconds.

It gets its name from its fiery red scales and is extremely dangerous.

Moreover, this type of snake is different from other snakes. They have their own class system and always appear in groups.

Even though these guys are small now, adult red fire scale pythons are much bigger than this!"

Hearing this, Han Feng immediately said:

"Now I understand where the drag marks by the moat came from."

As he was speaking, more and more red fire-scaled pythons crawled out of the moat, densely packed together and extremely terrifying.

Ah Jing frowned and said in disbelief:

"How is this possible? Even if it was a snake that was put in at the time, how could it still be alive after two thousand years?"

Zhu Qingyang said solemnly:

"This means there must be a place under the moat that leads to the outer tomb chamber. The red fire-scaled python has a very strong survival ability, and rotten meat is their best food.

In addition, although the red fire-scale pythons appear in groups, they may also bite and eat each other.

More importantly, this snake is hermaphroditic and has a strong reproductive capacity!"

Hearing this, Wen Wenbin was a little puzzled:

"If this snake is so powerful and has such strong reproductive capacity, why is it gone now? And I've never heard of it before?"

Zhu Qingyang said with a complicated expression:

“I always thought it was just a legend, but I didn’t expect to encounter it here.

There is a legend about this snake a long time ago, that is, the elixir made from its gallbladder can make people immortal! "

At this point, several people immediately understood.

Isn’t immortality what the great emperor Qin Shihuang was most obsessed with?

How could he miss this opportunity?

He sealed the few remaining red fire-scale pythons in the underground palace forever, so this kind of snake died out quietly...

No one expected that they were already in danger before they actually stepped into the imperial mausoleum.

Qin Shihuang went to great lengths to protect his imperial mausoleum.

As one can imagine, the burial objects in the outermost layer of the imperial mausoleum basically became food for these red fire-scaled pythons.

Coupled with the characteristics of the Red Fire Scale Python, it naturally became a line of defense here.

At this time, the moat was densely packed with red fire-scale pythons, which were spitting out their tongues and approaching with a fierce look in their eyes.

Seeing this, the archaeologists hurriedly picked up their pickaxes as a precaution.

Xu Hao simply hid behind. In his powerless state, not causing more trouble was the biggest help he could offer.

Ajing tied her hair up again and pulled out the machete that had been tied to her leg as a weapon.

Zhang Xiaoxian also held a stick in her hand, with a vigilant look on her face.

For a moment, everyone was on alert and kept retreating.

"Hiss..."

The leading red fire-scaled python suddenly straightened up and made a strange sound. Then, as if they had received an order, groups of red fire-scaled pythons quickly crawled out.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Han Feng reminded loudly and took the lead in the battle.

The Vajra Umbrella is extremely sharp, and wherever it passes, there are snake corpses.

But the snakes were extremely fast and there were so many of them that Han Feng didn't dare to relax at all.

Bai Hua's black gold ancient sword is even more domineering. Every strike of the sword will take away the lives of several snakes.

Wen Wenbin held the dagger in both hands, and a red fire-scaled python leaped up, opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Wen Wenbin.

Fortunately, Wen Wenbin reacted quickly enough and blocked the snake's mouth with a dagger while stabbing into the snake's head at the same time.

Zhu Qingyang did not participate in the battle. He was busy searching for something in the treasure chest.

Not to mention Zhu Yingying, who was holding the Xuanji ruler in her right hand and had already drawn her pistol in her left hand.

"Bang bang bang..."

With every bullet fired, a red fire-scaled python would fall to the ground.

Compared with the calmness of the 788 Exploration Team, the situation on the archaeological team's side seemed much more difficult.

Although the team members have received some training, the psychological fear is the most difficult to overcome when facing such a scene.

The most outstanding performance was by Ajing. The machete in her hand was very quick and neat, which relieved a lot of pressure for other members of the archaeological team.

However, more and more red fire-scaled pythons crawled out of the moat at an extremely fast speed, and no one dared to underestimate them.

If you get bitten, your life is basically over.

At this moment, Zhu Qingyang's voice came:

"Listen to my command. If I say run, run into the ancient city immediately. If you run slowly, you will be fed to the snakes!"

As he spoke, Zhu Qingyang took out several small porcelain bottles with special shapes from the treasure chest.

There are talismans on each porcelain bottle.

Han Feng cut off the snake's head and asked contemptuously:

"Could it be shit, piss or fart again? The little fox demon would be so mad if he saw it!"

However, Zhu Qingyang did not answer, but waited for the right moment and threw a small porcelain bottle in front of everyone.

The archaeological team only paid attention to the small porcelain bottle, and did not notice that Zhu Qingyang was chanting a spell at the same time:

"break!"

As soon as the words came out, the small porcelain bottle suddenly exploded, and the orange-red powder inside immediately exploded among the snakes.

A foul smell suddenly came, and Han Feng immediately understood:

“It’s realgar powder!”

Zhu Qingyang said proudly:

"Wrong, this is high-strength, high-purity realgar powder."

Just as the realgar powder exploded and fell, the red fire-scaled pythons all avoided it, leaving a path in the middle.

Zhu Qingyang then threw the porcelain bottle in his hand again and shouted:

"Cover your mouth and nose and run!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Bursts of explosions were heard, and the sky was almost filled with orange-red realgar powder.

At this time, the others didn't care about anything else. They covered their mouths and noses and ran forward.

The red fire-scaled pythons hated the realgar powder and avoided it. Taking advantage of this gap, everyone crossed the suspension bridge and finally arrived at the city gate.

With the red fire-scaled pythons approaching behind him, Professor Zhu immediately ordered the members of the archaeological team to work together to push open the city gate which had no mechanisms set up.
