Chapter 556 Hidden Pit
"No...I can't leave!"
Wang Ping's teeth were chattering from the cold.
But he remained unusually stubborn, saying, "I am the last disciple of Luo Jiewei, the top professor in China's geological surveying! The geological structure beneath Changbai Mountain is extremely complex... Without me, something terrible could happen!"
[Hiss... I admit I was a bit judging by appearances before! I never imagined that Wang Ping, despite not being good-looking, would be so responsible!]
[Exactly...we're practically frozen to death! And you're still thinking about the geological structure of Changbai Mountain? No wonder you're Luo Jiewei's carefully chosen last disciple!]
That's true! But health is the most important thing, isn't it? And who is Luo Jiewei anyway?
[You don't know Luo Jiewei? He's one of China's top geological surveying experts! Top-tier projects like National Highway 318 and the Sanxia Dam were first planned and surveyed by him.]
Wow! That's amazing! Wang Ping, as his last disciple, must be incredibly talented too! I think this archaeological expedition to the Chi You tomb will definitely include Wang Ping.
[Me too]
...........
In the cave.
Everyone around him thought Wang Ping was a beast in human form!
I can't believe he's still thinking about excavating Chi You's tomb even when he's in such a miserable state! But Qin An wasn't fooled by his pitiful act; instead, he squatted down and asked:
"Are you Professor Luo Jiewei's last disciple?"
Hear this.
Wang Ping felt somewhat guilty.
But she still proudly raised her head and said, "That...that's for sure! Teacher Luo told me himself that I am the last student he will ever take on!"
"Really?" Qin An looked at him with a skeptical expression.
"You previously said that the bottom of this hot spring pool was solid... but Xie Wenjing and Wang Yanyan's survey found that it was hollow. How do you explain that?"
this time.
Wang Ping was completely panicked!
His cerebellum was working at lightning speed.
Finally, having come up with a response, Wang Ping feigned surprise and said, "How could it be hollow? When I used that equipment to survey it, I found that the bottom is definitely solid!"
While talking.
Wang Ping looked at Xie Wenjing and Wang Yanyan for confirmation.
The two women nodded and said, "We've determined that it's hollow."
"How is that possible?" Wang Ping exclaimed, his mouth agape in exaggerated disbelief. "Then the equipment must be malfunctioning!"
Qin An stood up and glanced back at the equipment that had sunk to the bottom of the pool. The equipment had been damaged by water, so now there was no way to prove anything, and Wang Ping could make up whatever he wanted.
However, the possibility that the equipment may have actually malfunctioned cannot be ruled out.
After all, so far...
Qin An has not yet found a reason why Wang Ping lied.
At this time.
Professor Shao Wei, who was standing to the side, quickly opened his thermos and handed it to Wang Ping. He advised, "Brother Qin An... take a break before you ask him questions! Let Wang Ping drink some hot water to warm himself up first. What a good kid! Even at this time, he is still thinking about our archaeological work. We can't interrogate him like a suspect."
Shao Wei is getting old.
The feeling of "the rabbit mourns the fox's death" is inescapable.
In his view, he, Zhang Yunfeng, Wang Ping, Xie Wenjing, and Wang Yanyan were all newcomers and not familiar with Qin An.
If we encounter danger.
Qin An would definitely save his acquaintances first.
Therefore, it's just right for them to form their own faction and stick together for warmth!
Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said, "Yes! Brother Qin An... equipment malfunctions are common, so don't blame Wang Ping, this good kid."
Hearing what the two old folks said...
But Qin An was so angry he laughed.
“I asked Wang Ping, ‘If Wang Ping himself doesn’t mind, why are you jumping on him? Besides, Wang Ping is young and in great health. What’s a little cold to him?’ You agree, Wang Ping.”
They felt Qin An's imposing presence.
Wang Ping could only nod blankly and say, "Yes...yes! I don't mind."
"As long as you don't mind."
After saying this.
Qin An then led the way into the depths of the cave. Jiang Liuli, Gu Wuyan, and the others behind him quickly followed. Even Xie Wenjing and Wang Yanyan followed after hesitating for a few seconds.
"This...this! Wang Ping, you child, we're here to support you, why are you backing down? Does Qin An dare to eat you?" Shao Wei said, exasperated.
Luo Jiewei and Shao Wei were old acquaintances.
Wang Ping could be considered half of his student.
Therefore, it is perfectly justifiable to teach them a lesson.
Hearing Shao Wei's reprimand.
Wang Ping looked embarrassed. He was indeed afraid that Qin An would beat him up, but he did so in order to save face.
He still forced himself to say, "Teacher Shao, Teacher Zhang, I just feel it's not good to have a conflict with Brother Qin An before we even go down into the tomb. We still have to deal with traps and zombies! We can't afford any internal conflicts."
Hear this.
Shao Wei and Zhang Yunfeng's expressions finally improved.
Simultaneously.
They couldn't help but think to themselves, "Our own student is so well-mannered! Qin An might know a few fighting skills, after all, he didn't even graduate from high school."
.............
As the group walked deeper into the cave, they discovered a bronze door.
This bronze door is different from other bronze doors.
It fits perfectly with the stone walls on both sides, as if it were carved out of the stone walls, completely integrated into one.
Qin An stepped forward and began to explore.
According to the description of the Wu Clan waist token, this bronze door can only be opened with the Wu Clan waist token. Qin An thought he should see if there was a groove suitable for the Wu Clan waist token.
After fiddling around on it for a few minutes...
He actually found a groove at the bottom of the bronze door that resembled the waist tag of the Wu tribe.
"Be careful, everyone."
After giving some instructions to the archaeological team, Qin An placed the Wu Clan waist token into the groove.
Then there was a snapping sound.
The witch's waist tag, with its groove, began to rotate.
See this.
Hawkeye asked, somewhat puzzled, "Huh? The door isn't open either?"
But he just finished speaking.
The ground beneath the feet of the archaeological team suddenly opened up with a loud rumble!
Nima!
That bronze door was just an illusion.
The real door is right under your feet!
"boom--"
There was another loud noise.
The ground that had been opened was raised back up and restored to its original state, but the archaeological team members who had been standing on the ground were gone.
The sudden freefall caught everyone off guard!
But Qin An had previously warned them to be careful.
Therefore, when it falls into the air...
Gu Yang and Eagle Eye then embraced Shao Wei and Zhang Yunfeng, who were closest to them, trying to use their bodies and backpacks to reduce the injury from the fall.
Qin An, on the other hand, considered that Jiang Liuli and the other three women all had the ability to take internal pills and land smoothly.
Therefore, he embraced Xie Wenjing and Wang Yanyan, who were closest to him.
This way.
Only Wang Ping stood there dumbfounded and fell straight to the ground.
