Chapter 2726 Death at Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum 11
After cultivating for a while, Gao Qingyou realized that the time was almost up.
Gao Qingyou took out her bottled water, took a sip, and then stood up and stretched.
"Everyone, that's about it, get up! Xu Da is back without any problems, we're ready to set off."
Upon hearing Qingyou's voice, everyone sat up one by one.
Only Duan Gang was still snoring, clearly still fast asleep. Qingyou glanced at Zhen Yue, signaling her to wake Duan Gang.
Duan Gang was woken up by Zhen Yue and yawned with an annoyed look on his face, but he didn't say anything. It was agreed that he could only sleep for half the night.
"Alright, clean up the ground, don't leave any traces. Once you're done, we'll leave. It'll take us about an hour to get there; we'll dive in under cover of darkness."
After giving instructions on the cleanup preparations, Tao Jinghong and the group made some quick adjustments and set off towards their destination.
Along the way, nothing unexpected happened. Guided by the moon and stars, the group didn't lose their way. It wasn't that they didn't use compasses, but rather that compasses often caused magnetic field disturbances around tombs, leading tomb raiders to lose their bearings—hence the saying "ghost wall." Of course, tomb raiders wouldn't be troubled by such a thing; before compasses existed, didn't they rely on the moon and stars for navigation?
As the group ventured further, they found the jungle growing increasingly dense, to the point that the stars were almost invisible. Towering trees were everywhere, and unsurprisingly, the compass was also affected. Several times, to avoid losing their way, Xu Da had to climb to the top of a tree trunk to check the direction of the stars.
At first, the group was still somewhat apprehensive and hesitant to move forward quickly, fearing the appearance of tomb guardians ahead. However, after walking for a while, they relaxed their vigilance and hurried on. The longer they lingered, the greater the chance of trouble.
With everyone rushing along, the journey, which was originally expected to take more than two hours, was completed in less than an hour and a half.
"If my deduction is correct, our destination is just ahead. Xu Da, go and check if there's anything unusual."
After Tao Jinghong shouted for everyone to stop, he ordered Xu Da to go and scout ahead. The rest of them remained in place and waited for orders.
Xu Da returned very soon.
There was nothing unusual ahead, but he didn't find any trace of a tomb.
Xu Da was also an old hand with sharp eyes. Although he had focused his main efforts on searching for any suspicious persons, he did not overlook any traces of the tomb.
"The information I received is that there are traces here. Tianjingyi, don't you have a magical little box? Can you sense it?"
After Tao Jinghong finished speaking, she looked at Tianjingyi on the side.
"Yes!"
Tianjing nodded. He held a black box in his hand, walked forward, and silently recited a few incantations.
The dark box flickered briefly.
"It is indeed the direction that Master Tao predicted!"
Tianjingyi put the box away again.
Tao Jinghong immediately ran forward again.
Tao Jinghong found her way outside, and the others vaguely followed her out.
This place is almost identical to the woods along the way; if they hadn't known this was their destination, they would never have stopped here.
"Old Tao, are you sure you haven't miscalculated the position? No, you haven't misplaced it."
