After taking this step, Hu Yiyi just stood there, even with his other foot still hanging in the air behind him, motionless, waiting for the piercing alarm to sound.
As soon as the alarm went off, Hu Yiyi would imdiately turn around, drop his foot, and escape backward.
However, Hu Yiyi stood on one foot for a long ti, but he didn't hear the alarm at all.
At this mont, he heard Wang Yan behind him say, "Why did you stop?"
Feeling embarrassed, Hu Yiyi put his foot down, scratched his head, and said, "Oh, I'm just observing the terrain."
Saying that, he awkwardly retracted his other foot and continued forward.
As he walked forward, Hu Yiyi was puzzled: Could it be that the infrared is broken? Why didn't the alarm sound? These workers are really negligent, the country pays you, and you neglect your duty like this? Fortunately, there's another infrared detector a mile ahead.
Thinking of this, Hu Yiyi imdiately quickened his pace, and a few minutes later, he arrived at the second infrared detector.
This ti, Hu Yiyi didn't hesitate at all and stepped onto it.
But, to Hu Yiyi's great surprise, the alarm still didn't go off.
"No way? Could the second infrared also be broken? It's really unreasonable."
Hu Yiyi sluggishly continued forward, and the subsequent three infrared detectors didn't sound at all.
So the eight people made their way unobstructed to the edge of the Qin Mausoleum.
Looking at the tall wall of the Qin Mausoleum in front of him, Hu Yiyi was almost dumbfounded.
"When I really wanted to rob a tomb, every alarm worked fine. Why are all the detectors broken today?"
With no other choice, Hu Yiyi imdiately walked forward and deliberately sought out places where personnel patrolled.
But today was like seeing a ghost, everywhere Hu Yiyi went, either the patrol personnel were absent or standing there asleep.
If it weren't for Hu Wei giving him a watchful eye from the side, Hu Yiyi would have been tempted to wake those patrol personnel up.
The journey was surprisingly smooth, and eight people stood on a hill beside the Qin Mausoleum.
At this point, Hu Yiyi couldn't continue any further; if he went any further, they would almost walk out from the other side of the Qin Mausoleum.
Having entered the heart of the Qin Mausoleum so smoothly, Hu Yiyi's mood also changed.
Could this year be my lucky day, having obtained the Wind-Still Banner and about to succeed in robbing the Qin Mausoleum? Could it be that heaven is about to grant the title of the world's number one tomb robber?
Thinking of this, Hu Yiyi's confidence skyrocketed, and he stood there, visibly pleased with himself, saying, "Alright, today I'll show you all my world-leading tomb robbing skills."
Saying that, he glanced around and muttered to himself: The fire dragon must not create water barriers, the wood array helps the fire dragon flourish; the wood dragon must not create tal barriers, the water array helps the wood dragon rejoice; Yin and Yang, these two words hold great importance...
As he walked, Hu Yiyi asured his steps.
A quarter of an hour later, Hu Yiyi set both feet firmly, raised a hand, took out an Array Flag, planted it on the ground, and shouted, "Wind-Still Banner, aid !"
With that sentence, the Wind-Still Banner indeed fluttered in the wind, and the tip of the flag pointed southeast.
Hu Yiyi looked southeast and said, "Dig the tunnel here."
Seeing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but nod.
Although he didn't understand tomb robbing, ancient tombs emphasized Yin and Yang harmony and auspicious landforms, which Wang Yan had also read about in ancient books.
Moreover, the flag's rise just now, although crude, was part of the array technique.
The tip of the flag pointed in a direction, likely attracted by the Grand Array underground.
Hu Yiyi instructed two disciples to take out the Luoyang Shovel and start digging while he stood aside, watching Wang Yan with satisfaction, saying, "What do you think? In my hands, this Wind-Still Banner is an Exotic Treasure; in yours, it's just a toy."
Wang Yan didn't reveal it, only smiled lightly.
Seeing this, Hu Yiyi assud Wang Yan was intimidated by his skills and beca even more smug.
The Luoyang Shovel dug deeper and deeper, and before long, it dug a hole deeper than a person.
Hu Wei watched anxiously from the side, saying, "I don't know when you'll finish digging at this pace, I'll go help him."
Wang Yan nodded and said, "Don't reveal your cultivation."
Hu Wei nodded, walked to the edge of the deep hole, pretended to look down, and clicked his tongue, saying, "You guys haven't broken through yet? You're so clumsy."
As he spoke, Hu Wei gently touched the ground with the tip of his toe.
Though just a touch, the force penetrated several zhangs underground.
Hu Yiyi's two disciples, sweating profusely from digging, heard Hu Wei's sarcastic comnt from the side and angrily replied, "Do you think digging a tunnel is that easy?"
As they spoke, they applied a bit more force to the shovel, not expecting that with a "puff" sound, the entire ground collapsed, and the two of them slid down directly.
"Thud, thud" sounds, echoed from underground.
Hu Yiyi was startled, quickly crouched by the hole, and shouted downwards, "What's happening?"
After a mont of silence below, two excited voices imdiately replied, "Master, we've broken through."
Hu Yiyi was delighted, imdiately stood up, and said, "See, even my disciples are this strong."
Saying that, Hu Yiyi went straight into the tunnel.
Wang Yan and his group smiled faintly and also quickly entered the tunnel.
Sliding a few zhangs down, everyone landed on their feet.
As expected, they found themselves in a small burial chamber, with walls made of blue stone, but the room was empty.
At this ti, Hu Yiyi and the three others were lying on the stone wall, excitedly shouting, "It's indeed Qin era craftsmanship!"
"Look, this is a Qin Brick, it's a Qin Brick."
...
However, Wang Yan raised an eyebrow because he had already sensed the presence of his Fire-Eating Ant.
This ant that the Zhu Xianwei who escaped back then was inside the Qin Mausoleum.
Wang Yan was overjoyed and signaled Hu Wei and others, and the five of them imdiately walked toward the exit of the chamber.
Hu Yiyi quickly jumped up to stop them, exclaiming, "You mustn't wander, this isn't a place for random exploration."
At this mont, one of Hu Yiyi's disciples was hitting a Qin Brick with the Luoyang Shovel, laughing, "Even this brick can fetch a lot of money."
Seeing this, Wang Yan hurriedly said, "Don't touch that brick."
But by the ti Wang Yan issued the warning, it was already too late.
The Qin Brick had been struck down and was already in that disciple's hand.
Hu Yiyi casually remarked, "Haha, don't worry, knocking down a brick doesn't count as stealing cultural relics."
As his voice fell, the entire burial chamber suddenly shook, and on all four walls of the chamber, a series of arrows erged, aid at everyone.
