Chapter 116 Let me eat them all!
Si Jingnian, who had known Shen Qingyao for a long time, had never seen her like this before, nor had he ever heard her swear like this.
At this moment, Shen Qingyao was like an enraged lioness, exuding a chilling aura.
Si Jingnian keenly noticed the gaze Shen Qingyao cast at him, a gaze that was like a sharp sword piercing straight into him.
He was startled and hurriedly shook his head, as if afraid that he might inadvertently anger the furious woman in front of him and be subjected to a barrage of insults.
"What are you all watching? Hurry up and find a way to leave this place. Do you all intend to become its meal here?"
Shen Qingyao glared angrily and shouted at the crowd who seemed to be watching a show.
Her voice echoed in the empty tomb chamber, carrying a hint of anger and anxiety.
Although her tone was somewhat aggressive, no one present dared to utter a word at this critical juncture. They all lowered their heads and frantically began searching for any possible mechanisms.
Meanwhile, Shen Qingyao was not idle. She quickly reached a tacit understanding with Ruan Hongshuang beside her, and the two of them acted together.
They first approached the huge stone coffin cautiously, then layer upon layer of the talismans in their hands tightly adhered to the stone coffin, and concentrated on drawing new talismans.
However, whenever the talisman was affixed to the stone coffin, it would instantly burst into dazzling sparks, as if the stone coffin possessed some powerful force that resisted the talisman's attack.
As time went by, the magical power contained in the talisman was gradually exhausted. The talisman, which was originally shining brightly, gradually became dim and eventually fell to the ground like pieces of useless waste paper.
Gradually, the suppressive effect of the talisman on the stone coffin weakened, and the effective time it could maintain became shorter and shorter.
Later on, it became almost completely ineffective, unable to have any effect on the stone coffin at all.
At the critical moment, Si Jingnian, with his keen insight and extraordinary wisdom, finally discovered the hidden mechanism.
Without hesitation, he reached out and pressed the seemingly inconspicuous button. With a soft "click," a hidden door slowly opened, revealing a dark passage before them—their only hope for escape.
Upon seeing this, everyone surged toward the secret passage like a tide, their hearts filled with joy and relief at surviving such a calamity.
However, before they had fully entered the secret passage, a deafening roar came from behind them.
The entire tomb chamber shook violently, and even the heavy stone door trembled a few times.
Upon closer listening, the sound was like a heavy object striking, as if the coffin lid had slammed hard against the stone door.
This sudden turn of events made everyone's hearts leap into their throats. No one knew what terrifying thing was hidden in the coffin, let alone dared to imagine the horrific consequences if it broke through the stone gate and caught up with them.
So, without the slightest delay, they ran as fast as they could, eager to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
After a thrilling escape, the group was finally out of danger for the time being.
But they still dared not let their guard down and continued to move forward without stopping.
After an unknown amount of time, an enormous stone gate suddenly appeared before them.
The stone gate soared into the clouds, its height astonishing; in comparison, humans were as insignificant as tiny ants.
The stone gate is carved with exquisite, intricate, and magnificent patterns that are so lifelike that they seem to tell ancient stories that are unknown to most people.
On either side of the stone gate stands a majestic stone lion.
They stood tall and proud, baring their teeth and staring menacingly at everyone who approached, radiating a chilling aura of power.
Faced with such a shocking sight, everyone was stunned, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg.
They stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, their faces filled with disbelief, as if they had never witnessed such a magnificent sight before.
For a moment, gasps of amazement rose and fell, never ceasing.
Secretary Chen held the magnifying glass tightly in his hand, as if it were a key that could unlock the door to a mysterious treasure.
His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, scrutinizing every detail before him.
He would sometimes lean closer to observe, and sometimes step back slightly, occasionally letting out excited exclamations.
"My goodness, this is truly a masterpiece! Look at the exquisite and meticulous carving technique, it's simply breathtaking! And these two majestic stone lions, they seem to come to life at any moment, so lifelike! I'm certain that this must be the main burial chamber we've been searching for!"
However, at this moment, everyone present was already shocked by the scene before them. Apart from Shen Qingyao, Si Jingnian, and Ruan Hongshuang, who remained relatively calm, everyone else was in a state of extreme excitement.
Their eyes gleamed with greed and desire, and they paid no heed to what Secretary Chen was saying.
Even without Shen Qingyao and the others giving any instructions, these people pounced on their prey like hungry wolves, eagerly searching around for the mechanism to open the tomb door.
"Haha, the treasures must all be hidden in this main burial chamber! We're going to strike it rich this time!"
Someone shouted loudly, their voice trembling with excitement.
"That's right! We've faced countless life-or-death situations along the way, and countless people have perished. Now that we've finally arrived at the main tomb chamber, we're determined to take all the gold and silver treasures out of here!"
The other person's words revealed an almost insane obsession.
"Even if we only take out one of these treasures, it will be enough for us to live a life of luxury and enjoy all the riches and honors we could ever have!"
Another person chimed in, their face beaming with uncontrollable elation.
For a moment, the entire space was filled with the noisy shouts of people, each voice filled with madness and excitement, as if they could already see mountains of wealth right in front of them and within reach.
Shen Qingyao frowned, feeling a vague unease in her heart.
"Ayao, what's wrong?"
Si Jingnian noticed that Shen Qingyao's mood was off and thought that there was some danger again, so he became more vigilant.
"I don't know, I just feel a little uneasy."
Shen Qingyao shook her head with a furrowed brow, but the next moment all her attention was drawn to Long Jiaojiao.
"Mother, those humans are so greedy, they're so delicious. Why don't you let me eat them all?"
As Long Jiaojiao spoke, he licked his lips, looking extremely hungry.
Shen Qingyao and Si Jingnian smiled helplessly upon hearing this, with Shen Qingyao rolling her eyes in exasperation.
What did you just promise me?
