TRSFTATTYA Chapter 56

“Footprints?”

Everyone hurried over to inspect.

On the floor of the ancient tomb were a series of footprints, all wet, left by feet stepping on the dust. They looked very fresh.

Chen Wenjin frowned, “Could these have been left by Xie Bin last night?”

The crowd felt a bit confused after hearing this.

Wu Sansheng examined them again and discovered a yellowish, waxy substance on the footprints. He scraped some off with his knife, smelled it, and exclaimed in surprise, “This is adipocere…!”

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

How could there be a string of footprints with adipocere here?

Finding this kind of strange thing in the ancient tomb made everyone feel uneasy.

At this moment, Zhang Qiling frowned slightly and said, “Adipocere is usually found on corpses immersed in water or buried in water-rich, moist soil. The so-called wax is the congealed fat and minerals from the body.”

“But there are no corpses here, could it be…”

Zhang Qiling didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

It was corpse reanimation!

The group followed the footprints all the way and found that they extended to the corner of the tomb chamber, where there was a row of blue-and-white cloud-dragon porcelain jars.

Seeing this, everyone’s expressions turned grim.

Wu Sansheng swallowed his saliva, “People say it’s easier to deal with the God of Death than with petty devils. Could there be an underage *zongzi* here?”

“Zongzi?”

The archaeology team members were all stunned.

Some of them didn’t understand the slang and couldn’t help but ask, “What *zongzi*?”

Wu Sansheng didn’t bother to pay attention to them.

Just then.

“Clang, clang, clang…”

One of the blue-and-white cloud-dragon porcelain jars suddenly shook on its own.

“Speak of the devil!”

Wu Sansheng smacked his own mouth and then said softly, “That little *zongzi* must be hiding behind there.”

Everyone held their breath, remaining vigilant at all times.

The group looked at the porcelain jars, and their hearts sank. It was indeed possible.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Qi Yu continued, “I heard the sound coming from the direction of the jar just now, it seemed to be coming from inside the jar. I thought a *zongzi* isn’t a rat, how could it climb into the jar on its own, I thought I misheard, I’m just mentioning it…”

Before he could finish speaking.

The blue-and-white cloud-dragon porcelain jar suddenly tipped over with a crash.

Everyone was startled.

Could Qi Yu have really guessed right?!

“Ah—!”

However, the jar rolled a few times on the floor, then changed direction and rolled towards the passageway of the tomb chamber, finally stopping with a “clang” against the entrance of the passageway.

Li Sidi lowered his voice and said, “Comrades, this jar is really a bit strange. Why don’t we strike first and give it a few shots?”

Jin Wantang quickly stopped him, “Don’t! Such a complete blue-and-white porcelain jar from the Yuan and Ming dynasties, every one broken is one less in this world!”

As they were talking, they noticed that the blue-and-white porcelain jar made another “glug” sound and rolled into the dark passageway.

Wu Sansheng wanted to give chase, and the others were about to follow.

“Wait.”

Su Ze and Zhang Qiling spoke almost simultaneously.

Zhang Qiling glanced at Su Ze, nodded, and then threw his bag over.

Instantly.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…”

Countless arrows suddenly shot out from both sides of the passageway, like a rainstorm.

The bag that Zhang Qiling had thrown was instantly turned into a hedgehog!

Hiss!

Everyone gasped, then felt a wave of fear.

Jin Wantang patted his chest, “It’s a good thing Ze-ye was here, otherwise we would have all been shot into hedgehogs!”

Everyone was dumbfounded. There was an arrow trap at the entrance of the passageway!

However, they had just searched all around and there were no other exits. The only way to get deeper into the ancient tomb was through this passageway.

In other words, the way forward was blocked. If they didn’t break the trap, they would either have to return the way they came or be trapped here to die.

Feeling that this wasn’t a solution, everyone had no choice but to gather together and discuss a plan.

Jin Wantang didn’t care about so much and went off on his own to fiddle with the remaining blue-and-white cloud-dragon porcelain jars.

However, these things were too big, several heads taller than Jin Wantang. He couldn’t move them, and he couldn’t roll them either. He could only sigh in frustration.

At this time, everyone had also discussed a general plan.

“The second is to rely on our own abilities to pass through one by one.”

Several people present didn’t want to reveal their skills, so the atmosphere fell silent.

After a while, a voice rang out:

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and they were all a little surprised. The first one to stand up was actually Wu Sansheng.

“Old Wu, but…”

Chen Wenjin was a little worried and was about to speak when Wu Sansheng interrupted her.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!”

Wu Sansheng being so eager was not a good thing.

Su Ze observed silently. He knew that Wu Sansheng must have ulterior motives. He wasn’t doing this for the archaeology team, but wanted to take advantage of the arrow trap to break away from the team and complete his own secret plan.

In Wu Xie’s notes, it was recorded that Wu Sansheng almost defeated the entire archaeology team one by one. In the end, the entire archaeology team either died or were injured, and those who became Prohibition Ladies became Prohibition Ladies.

Although his purpose in doing so was to deal with the so-called “it”, and it was also for the future of the Nine Gates, doing so was too selfish.

However, Su Ze wasn’t in a hurry, waiting for Wu Sansheng to rush into the passageway entrance.

After Wu Sansheng finished speaking, he didn’t hesitate and directly drew out a handy knife. With a leap, he jumped into the arrow trap.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…”

In an instant, countless arrows shot out from all directions, like a torrential rainstorm, shooting towards Wu Sansheng…
