Chapter 961 Explosion and Collapse
Chapter 961 Explosion and Collapse
Jiang Jiyun bent down to pick up the gold bar, but when she heard Xiao Tian say that it was full of books, her interest vanished instantly.
She took Xiao Cui off her neck, then gently stroked Xiao Cui's head and whispered, "Xiao Cui, tell Mommy, where did you get this from?"
When Jiang Wenming heard his niece say that she was the mother of a snake, his face immediately turned dark.
Xiao Cui blinked her round eyes, looking at the gold bar in her master's hand, and seemed to understand what her master meant.
It nimbly climbed off its owner and then quickly crawled in another direction.
Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming hurriedly followed behind Xiao Cui, jogging all the way as they entered the passage above.
Xiao Tian and Sun Jiaguo stayed where they were and collected all the books there.
When they came out after they finished packing, they found that Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming had already disappeared.
"Uncle!" Xiao Tian called out anxiously.
"Xiaoyun!" Sun Jiaguo shouted loudly.
Upon hearing the shout, Jiang Wenming, who was on lookout duty, responded, "Here I am."
The two finally discovered another passage above.
They exchanged a glance and then climbed up the steps to find Jiang Jiyun and Jiang Wenming.
At this moment, Jiang Jiyun was like a little hamster that had fallen into a granary, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She was surrounded by piles of gold bars and gold ingots, which overwhelmed her.
Jiang Jiyun quickly gathered up the treasures, completely immersed in the joy that wealth brought him.
Jiang Wenming stood guard at the entrance to the tomb chamber, vigilantly observing the surrounding movements.
Suddenly, Jiang Wenming seemed to smell a faint scent of smoke.
He looked warily into the quiet passageway ahead, carefully observing whether there was a fire somewhere.
Sure enough, smoke was drifting out from the crack in the door of a tomb chamber not far away.
Just then, Xiao Tian and his group came into Jiang Wenming's view.
Jiang Wenming quickly gestured with his hand towards the smoking area in their direction.
Xiao Tian and the others understood immediately and walked towards the source of the smoke.
However, just as they approached the tomb chamber, a powerful explosion suddenly erupted!
A deafening roar followed, shaking the entire tomb chamber with the force of the explosion.
The blast wave surged towards Oda and his two companions with overwhelming force.
Caught off guard, Oda and his companions were instantly blasted away by the powerful gust of air.
Their bodies traced an arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Jiang Jiyun had just finished tidying up the items in the tomb chamber and was preparing to check other tomb chambers to see if there were any more.
Suddenly, she heard the explosion, and the entire underground area began to shake violently.
Jiang Jiyun realized that the situation was bad, so she immediately turned around and ran out.
When she ran outside, she immediately saw her uncle and the others lying on the ground in a disheveled state.
Xiao Tian struggled to sit up, took out a special medicine, and quickly swallowed it.
Jiang Wenming and Sun Jiaguo, being closer to the source of the explosion, were knocked unconscious by the shockwave.
Jiang Jiyun hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the two people back. After briefly checking their bodies and finding that there was a collapse, he sent them into his own space.
Then, she and Oda continued running desperately forward, trying to escape this dangerous place.
The loud noise was like a thunderclap, instantly waking the Onmyoji from their illusion.
Their eyes snapped open, and they looked around warily. When they realized that the person who should have been subdued had disappeared from sight, an ominous premonition surged in their hearts.
Upon hearing the sounds coming from above, they immediately realized they had fallen into the enemy's trap.
Seeing that the exit had been destroyed, the remaining Japanese soldiers chose to detonate the explosives on their bodies.
Knowing they couldn't catch their target, they decided to bury them all here, ensuring no one left alive.
With an even more violent explosion, the entire tomb chamber shook violently.
The tomb chambers behind Jiang Jiyun and the others began to collapse one by one under the impact of the explosion.
Bricks and soil poured down like raindrops, creating a cloud of dust.
As he ran, Xiao Tian reached out and scooped up Jiang Jiyun, holding her tightly under his arm like a chick, then took long strides and ran forward as fast as he could.
He had only one thought in his mind: to escape this place that was about to be buried as soon as possible. The closer they were to the exit, the greater their chance of being dug out.
Although Jiang Jiyun was held tightly by Xiaotian, her gaze did not relax in the slightest.
She stared intently at the constantly collapsing cave around her, carefully observing every possible danger.
If she detects any signs of danger, she will not hesitate to take Oda into the space to ensure their safety.
As Xiaotian ran, he constantly dodged left and right, skillfully avoiding the stones and pebbles falling from above.
They ran wildly and finally reached a huge grandstand.
The stands are enormous, with rows and rows of seats surrounding them.
Xiao Tian stopped and didn't know where to run. Jiang Jiyun quickly scanned her surroundings. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she noticed a staircase leading to the upper level not far ahead.
She was overjoyed and quickly turned to tell Xiaotian about her discovery.
Xiao Tian suddenly turned around, flipped Jiang Jiyun over, and threw her onto his back like a sack of potatoes.
Jiang Jiyun felt a blur before her eyes, and her body was already firmly on Xiao Tian's back.
Before she could even react in surprise, she quickly grabbed Xiaotian's neck tightly to keep from falling.
Carrying Jiang Jiyun on his back, Xiao Tian rushed towards the stairs like a cheetah.
Just as they reached the steps and were about to step up, Jiang Jiyun suddenly turned around as if she sensed something.
The once sturdy stands and rows of tables and chairs collapsed in an instant, as if their supports had been removed, and disappeared from her sight.
Xiao Tian's heart was pounding, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He gripped the wall tightly, using all his strength to steady himself, and ran upwards step by step with great difficulty.
However, just as he was about to reach safety, there was a loud "boom" and the stairs suddenly collapsed!
Xiao Tian suddenly leaped towards the protrusion on the stone wall.
He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to grab the protruding rock.
At this moment, he was suspended in mid-air, maintaining his balance only with that little bit of support.
Jiang Jiyun held Xiaotian tightly, not daring to relax for a moment, and she was also trying her best to think of a solution.
Despite the dire situation, Xiaotian did not give up. He took a deep breath, regulated his breathing, and then continued to climb upwards with his other hand.
