However, since everyone had already reached this point, and so many people had been lost along the way, they naturally didn't want to give up.
"Open it."
Nakamura Komachi said coldly, his eyes showing a bit of excitent. Anyway, he was not far from death; even if he really died here, it wouldn't matter.
But if he managed to survive by chance and obtain that divine item, everything would be worth it.
Ueno Matsutake nodded, his gaze falling on a chanism nearby.
"Boom....."
As the chanism was triggered, a rumbling sound followed, and the giant Stone Gate in front of them shook off countless dust, slowly rising.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...."
But just as the stone gate began to rise, a series of piercing sounds echoed, and countless cold lights burst out from within the gate, sweeping toward the group,
"Mr. Nakamura, watch out!"
Kawai Matsutake's heart skipped a beat, his Shuriken flying out to block several of the cold lights ahead.
Kurokawa Motoishi and Ozawa Ria also struck out, especially Kurokawa Kiseki, who surprisingly took out a folding shield from behind, directly blocking in front.
"Bang, bang, bang....."
Cold lights crossed paths, striking the shield with thunderous sounds, and dazzling sparks erupted upon impact, but fortunately, these cold lights were blocked.
After more than ten seconds, the attacks from behind the stone gate finally subsided, allowing Kawai Matsutake and the others to breathe a slight sigh of relief.
"There were so many arrows."
Looking at the hundreds of arrows blocked by the shield and scattered on the ground, Kawai Matsutake couldn't help but swallow. Had they been prepared, they would surely have been riddled under those arrows.
After all, they were standing on a platform only three ters wide with no place to hide around.
"This shield is practically ruined."
Kurokawa Kiseki looked at the shield in his hand with a secret shock. This shield was crafted using top-notch technology, with a cost of several million yuan. Never mind bullets; it could even resist ordinary bombs.
But under these arrows, although the shield hadn't completely shattered, it still had many cracks, with so arrows directly embedded in it.
"No wonder it's left by Zhuge Liang. Even after a thousand years, the trap's power is so terrifying."
"However, the more he tries to obstruct us, the more it shows that what we want is inside."
Nakamura Komachi wasn't injured as Kurokawa Motoishi shielded him.
Looking at the dark entrance ahead, Nakamura Komachi did not feel fear; instead, he was more eager. He had a hunch that what he wanted was inside.
"Let's go, be careful on the way. Ozawa, release your remote-controlled car to scout the path ahead."
Kawai Matsutake looked at Ozawa Ria and said.
Although the previous remote-controlled cars were all damaged, one had only been pierced by ground spikes.
They retrieved this remote-controlled car later and repaired it to be barely usable.
Ozawa Ria nodded, took out the only remote-controlled car. After connecting it to the computer, the car headed into the cave.
"Xia Liang, we will et again, and I'll make sure you beg for death!"
Kawai Matsutake also looked across at Xia Liang, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Swish..."
With those words, Kawai Matsutake imdiately cut the ropes of the wooden bridge. Though he was sure that dangers lurked on the wooden bridge, he also feared he might be overthinking it.
If Xia Liang truly relied on this bridge to get across, they would be in trouble later; there was no need to take the risk.
"Kawai Matsutake, you can't escape Dragon Country. If you stop now, you might still have a chance."
Xia Liang raised an eyebrow, surprised at how cautious the opponent was. He indeed considered using the wooden bridge to cross, but now that the bridge was severed, he could only find another way.
"Is that so? Then let's wait and see..."
Kawai Matsutake sneered, then proceeded with Nakamura Komachi and the others inside, disappearing from Xia Liang's sight.
"If those guys leave with the treasure inside, Dragon Country will suffer greatly."
Xia Liang sighed, having mostly confird that there were many exits within this tomb. If a tomb were sealed for years, even without toxic gases, the oxygen levels would be low.
Previously, he thought the entrance had been open for years, allowing toxic gases to disperse.
But the place Kawai Matsutake and others entered was sealed by the stone gate, yet no toxic gases appeared, suggesting there were other exits behind the gate that had always been open.
If he didn't follow now, once these folks found what they were seeking and escaped through other exits into Qinling, it would be even harder to find them later.
Alright, I'll fly over and deal with them.
Just as he was about to take action, hurried footsteps approached from behind.
"Hmm? Soone else?"
Xia Liang was puzzled and quickly hid behind a stone stele. Could there be more enemies lurking?
Soon, the footsteps grew closer, and fully ard figures appeared in the distance.
"Here they co."
Xia Liang ca out from behind the stone stele and imdiately all the gun barrels pointed at him.
"Gunpowder, long ti no see."
Facing the gun barrels, Xia Liang seed unfazed, his gaze falling on one of the n.
"Guardians?"
Gunpowder saw Xia Liang, his eyes brightening, and he waved, prompting the others to lower their weapons.
"Guardian, I thought you had forgotten ."
Approaching Xia Liang, Gunpowder grinned.
"Alright, let's cut the chatter. Those guys went ahead; this is Zhuge Liang's tomb, and there should be other exits inside. We must follow quickly."
Hearing Xia Liang talk business, Gunpowder put away his smile and looked serious.
"Is this really Zhuge Liang's tomb?"
Gunpowder looked at Xia Liang, surprised.
Upon hearing Xia Liang's words, Gunpowder was sowhat shocked. Despite having suspicions during their journey, especially after seeing the inscription na on the stone stele, they weren't completely sure.
"We can't be entirely certain yet. These folks sohow obtained a map to treasure hunt here. If I'm guessing right, they might be looking for the Seven-Star Lamp."
Xia Liang chuckled.
"The Seven-Star Lamp? They're trying to extend life? What a joke; they still believe such tales?"
Gunpowder sneered, looking unconvinced.
"Regardless of its truth, we need to stop them. Moreover, there should be other passages inside. To prevent their escape, you must contact those above and completely seal the surroundings."
