Chapter 563 Dragon-Locking Chains
Just as the archaeological team was marching in a grand procession into the passage to the east... the academicians of geological surveying who were watching the live broadcast outside couldn't sit still any longer.
What?
Is the area beneath the Changbai Mountain range hollow?
An elderly academician, furious, exclaimed, "Nonsense! The water in Changbai Tianchi is the remains of a dragon transformed into a sea eye, drawing water from the Bohai Sea? Isn't this blatant disregard for science?"
at this time.
His doctoral assistant muttered under his breath, "How do you explain that waterfall flowing backwards? It can't be a fountain formed by groundwater, can it?"
"Um?!"
The old academician turned around and glared at his assistant!
The assistant was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth and lowered his head.
But the old academician didn't say anything more... because he couldn't explain how that waterfall flowing upstream was formed either.
After thinking for a moment.
A group of senior academicians decided to personally visit the Changbai Mountain range.
..........
Let's get back to the tomb.
Qin Anzheng, Jiang Liuli, and Gu Wuyan led the way at the very front of the archaeological team, with the rest of the team in the middle and Gu Yang and Eagle Eye bringing up the rear.
This passage to the east is very strange!
It is made up of thick blocks of basalt.
No three-in-one soil was used for bonding in the middle!
Qin An simply pushed gently... and the basalt in front of him receded like an unlaid brick, but as soon as Qin An withdrew his hand...
That basalt rock will bounce back to its original position!
"What's the principle?"
Zhang Sitian looked at the basalt rock that could shrink and contract freely and said.
If nothing unexpected happens.
All the basalt here looks like this!
It can return to its original position on its own.
Even Qin An shook his head, finding it very puzzling.
"How about... we head forward first? What if this passageway collapses?" Wang Ping unusually suggested.
The others also thought it made a lot of sense.
So they ignored these basalt formations that contracted back and forth!
They walked another seventy or eighty meters forward.
The archaeological team finally spotted a slightly brighter exit... There was a faint yellow light there, and the exit widened, leading to a large open space.
The exit is in sight.
The archaeological team members relaxed their tense nerves.
After all, no one knows when this unfinished basalt passageway will collapse!
But at this moment.
Because Qin An had previously moved a piece of basalt.
This caused it to bounce back and forth.
They were almost out of the tunnel... Wang Ping wanted to give it a try too!
So he quietly placed his hand on a piece of basalt, preparing to exert force!
But then a snapping sound was heard.
The spot in the middle of the basalt rock where Wang Ping had pressed down had actually dented!
What the hell is going on?
Hawkeye, who was looking at the ceiling, came to his senses and looked toward the source of the sound. Although Wang Ping withdrew his hand in time, Hawkeye still caught him red-handed.
"You little bastard! You're itching for a fight, aren't you?"
Hawkeye immediately started cursing.
"I..." Wang Ping said, his face flushed red, "I didn't press it on purpose! Besides, Brother Qin An pushed a piece of basalt before, didn't he? I just wanted to try it out!"
Hawkeye roared, "You dare to talk back, you bastard?"
The two were about to have an argument.
Suddenly, a series of muffled creaking sounds came from the surrounding passageways!
"Run!"
Qin An stepped aside to let the people behind him run forward quickly.
There was no time for the crowd to argue about who was right and who was wrong. They just assumed that the unfinished basalt passageway was about to collapse, so they ran forward with all their might!
"Da da da da da-"
Accompanied by the dense and hurried footsteps of the archaeological team.
The passageways around us were visibly narrowing!
The space available for people to run around is getting narrower and narrower...
"Hurry up, those in front!!"
Gu Yang and Eagle Eye urged them on from behind.
However, Professors Zhang Yunfeng and Shao Wei, who specialize in ancient history, were simply unable to keep up, and even with all their strength, they could not run very fast.
In desperation!
Gu Yang and Eagle Eye had no choice but to speed up and rush forward!
One person grabbed an old professor and ran forward at top speed!
After all, they had previously completed a 2000-meter run with a 40-kilogram load when doing triathlon events! Now they only need to hold onto two 100-pound old men and run forward for a few dozen meters.
Compared to that, it's already quite easy!
"Giggle-"
The basalt passageways surrounding them were getting tighter and tighter!
The archaeological team had already reached the exit, and Jiang Liuli, Gu Wuyan, Yang Lele, and others filed out.
Because Qin An had previously made the move to leave himself at the back.
Now only he and Wang Ping are left in the passageway!
However, the basalt passageway had shrunk to a hole only half a person's height... Wang Ping and Qin An could only squat down to walk towards the exit.
Not only that!
Wang Ping even pretended to have difficulty walking and deliberately slowed down his pace.
He wanted to crush Qin An behind him into a pulp by the shrinking basalt tunnel!
Unfortunately, Qin An had already been on guard against him.
Just when the two were 3 meters away from the exit.
Qin An raised his right foot and kicked Wang Ping hard in the butt. The powerful impact sent Wang Ping sprawling face-first into the mud. Although he rolled out of the basalt tunnel, he broke two of his front teeth.
He was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground!
"Ahhhh-"
Qin An then leaped out of the gradually narrowing hole like a carp leaping over a dragon gate.
"Giggle... Bang!"
The basalt tunnel is completely sealed off!
Until then.
The archaeological team then noticed that what was controlling the basalt tunnel and causing it to compress was... actually an iron chain as thick as an adult's calf.
This iron chain is wrapped around the outside of the basalt passageway in circles!
The mechanism is activated!
The weight attached to the end of the chain will fall.
Gravity pulls the chain to retract!
The iron chain then applied pressure to the unfinished basalt blocks.
Ultimately, this achieves the effect of narrowing the passageway!
The entire organization was completed in one go.
It's an absolutely astonishing masterpiece!
Even Qin An couldn't help but exclaim, "What a majestic dragon-locking chain! It would be even better if it didn't have that annoying howling sound."
"Ahhh-"
Wang Ping covered his bleeding mouth and rolled on the ground uncontrollably!
Professors Zhang Yunfeng and Shao Wei, standing to the side, tried their best but couldn't catch it.
In desperation!
They could only try to persuade Qin An with earnest words, like parents standing up for their own child:
“Brother Qin An…please be gentle next time! We know how strong you are. Wang Ping was just a little slow! You didn’t have to kick him so hard, did you? Look, he even broke two of his front teeth.”
