Chapter 345 Reinforcing the Mechanism
Grey Wolf could understand everyone's reaction, because this was the best-preserved treasure vault he had ever visited.
It would have been even more perfect if the snake hadn't accidentally opened the main mechanism.
"Uncle Miao, hurry up and catch up!" Yun Dan took a few steps and noticed that Old Miao was still standing at the gate in a daze, so she called out.
"Oh! Here it comes!"
Old Miao, who was in a daze, suddenly woke up as if from a dream.
He roughly wiped his face with his large, rough hands. Ever since he encountered that snake, he hadn't been in the right frame of mind and had been constantly distracted.
My mind was filled with the stories my grandfather had told me. It turned out there was no curse in the village at all; it was all the snake's doing.
As for the treasures in front of them, it's not that they aren't envious, but rather that they dare not even dream of them.
It should be noted that these people are not tomb raiders; bringing them in would allow us to share the loot.
Even after leaving the treasure vault, the experts were still discussing the murals.
It turns out that the first half of the underground palace's stone chambers was emptied by the Di family.
The reason the treasure vault wasn't touched was because the Di family encountered a python attack, but it wasn't the giant python from Nantuo that everyone had encountered before.
The Di family, consisting of over a hundred members, was tragically wiped out because they died fighting off a swarm of pythons.
After the pythons died, only a dozen or so members of the Di family remained. They later returned to their ancestral home, but before they could even move the treasure from the vault, they all died mysteriously.
Emperor Tianhuang speculated that their deaths might be related to the poisonous miasma that Guanxia Mountain had not evaporated back then.
The giant python from Nantuo was brought by Lady Di.
The murals indicate that there is a wide secret passage in the underground palace leading to the Wanshan Forest.
The giant pythons must usually live in that secret passage.
Once we get back, we need to send people to transport these snakes back to Nantuo Ridge and protect them even more!
"No, the mechanism connected to the turntable is too heavy. Let's use a lever!"
Mu Yunfei and Long Yuan tried to work together with the stone slab and realized that it was completely impossible to do it by human effort.
After another flurry of activity, the turntable was finally restored to its original position. It was unclear how the mechanism connected to it was set up, but the impact sound actually disappeared the moment the turntable was restored.
While others couldn't see it, the tiny crater in the space was clearly visible through divine sense.
In the wide tunnel behind the rocky mountain, five giant pythons were being driven to flee frantically by an unknown gas spewing from pipes in the wall.
Until they disappeared from her sight.
What a long tunnel!
Now that the host is safe, she no longer needs to pay attention to him. Before focusing on her work, she didn't forget to glance at the shop panel.
Mu Yunfei gave the host a lot of points on this trip, and Longyuan's value also increased by five points.
The host has accumulated a million points.
Unfortunately, none of them unlocked anything useful.
Either the grid is empty, or it contains mundane items that can be bought with money.
Things that can be bought with money are not worth spending points on.
After waiting for ten minutes and confirming that no more sounds could be heard, the people in the center of the square all turned their attention to the gray wolf and the dwarf fox.
Some admired, some revered, and some felt ashamed.
Without exception, they all eventually turned into gratitude.
"Young man, thank you so much. If you hadn't found this mechanism in time, we definitely wouldn't have been able to find this place within two hours."
"Yes, this underground palace is like a maze. There are more than ten doors on the second floor of the treasure vault. If we had to go in and search through them one by one, we don't know how much time we would have wasted!"
"Grey wolf and dwarf fox, right? Thank you for saving everyone's lives."
One by one, the experts went over to shake hands with Gray Wolf and his men, and the bodyguards stood ramrod straight and saluted them.
The gray wolf didn't seem to care much about this, calmly replying to each question, "Of course!"
"If you really want to thank someone, thank Miss Mu and Miss Yun. It's because they didn't look down on us."
"This has given us the opportunity to cooperate with you all." The dwarf fox didn't forget to take credit for his big customer.
He was also very grateful to Miss Mu for helping them realize this dream that had been passed down through generations of their sect.
Without Miss Mu, he thought they would never find Madam Di's treasure.
Because that master's handbook was accidentally burned last year by a mischievous junior brother.
So far, only Grey Wolf remembers the contents, and Grey Wolf has seen pictures of Guan Xiashan online, but has never thought of it.
He only realized it when he arrived at the scene, but no one had ever thought of coming to Guanxia Mountain for tourism.
The treasure map encompassed countless famous mountains and rivers in the north, south, west, and east, but even if you searched them one by one, you couldn't find Guanxia Mountain.
Who would have thought that Tao Bing would mark the location of the treasure on the other side of Tianchi Mountain?
I just heard Miss Mu say that the treasure map was a formation, and they were able to find it accurately by deciphering the secrets of the formation.
If they had known that Madam Di's treasure would eventually belong to the country, they should have handed it over long ago, so that they could have won favor with the court.
Oh! What a pity!
"I knew I hadn't misjudged you!" Di Tianhuang was the last to go over and shake hands with Gray Wolf. When Black Hawk told him that Gray Wolf had gone to find the mechanism, he knew that the other party would definitely bring another surprise.
"Are you interested in joining my ranks?"
"Huh? We...we just like to go treasure hunting around when we have nothing to do. We don't need to join the organization." The dwarf fox knew that Gray Wolf was rather quiet and not good at socializing, so he quickly helped to refuse.
Emperor Tianhuang, however, was unwilling to give up such talent: "No problem, I will not restrict you. Whatever treasure sites you find in the future, I will give you 30%."
"I will also give you an extra reward if you encounter areas that cannot be dug."
Only 30% was promised. The dwarf fox and the brown lion exchanged a glance, clearly not very willing.
After considering it carefully, the gray wolf nodded: "In that case, I will be grateful for Your Highness's continued care in the future!"
Everyone has now appeared in front of this group of people.
No matter what, the Crown Prince will verify their identities, so it's better to just follow him directly.
If he could really give them 30% of everything, then he would now have several large treasure troves that require a lot of manpower to excavate.
There were too many dangers inside, and after going there once, they never dared to set foot there again, especially the tomb of the Hun king in the desert where they had encountered a swarm of snakes.
There's also an underwater tomb they're about to visit, consider it a pledge of loyalty, and they'll bring the imperial court along.
Since the gray wolf agreed, what could the dwarf fox say? This whole thing is a mess; they're used to being free and unrestrained, and before they knew it, they were eating government food!
Thinking about it carefully, it's actually not bad.
Haha! From now on, their team belongs to His Highness the Crown Prince. Won't their peers be green with envy if word gets out?
Unbeknownst to anyone, there exists an underground ghost market in the capital city accessible only to people like them, a place teeming with treasure-hunting groups.
