"Boss, I'll do it."

Seeing that Jiang Xiaochuan wanted to push open the door himself, Balong stepped forward and volunteered.

Jiang Xiaochuan shook his head slightly, his hands firmly placed on the door. The coldness and rough texture from his fingertips made him alert.

"Back off."

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xiaochuan gathered all his strength in his hands and pushed hard.

The door hinge made a harsh and long creaking sound.

It was much easier than expected. The door slowly opened, revealing a deep gap.

As the gap gradually widened, a rotten and smelly smell surged in like a tide.

"Flutter flutter"

A dense sound suddenly rang out.

Through the crack in the door, countless bats flapped their wings and rushed out impatiently.

It was like a black storm that instantly blocked out all the light.

Baron was startled by the sudden swarm of bats.

He flipped his hands and the wind from his palms whistled. In the blink of an eye, flocks of bats fell down, but were quickly replaced by new bats.

It took a full two minutes for the bat storm to gradually subside.

Jiang Xiaochuan pushed the door open completely with all his strength and stepped into the palace.

A huge statue stands in the center of the palace.

The statue seems to be made of a rare stone, but years of erosion have also left deep marks on its surface.

Its face becomes blurred and only its majestic posture can be vaguely recognized.

Around the statue, there are four smaller stone statues kneeling, facing the statue with different postures, revealing a kind of piety and awe.

All around, there were piles of various jewels and gold items, glittering and dazzling.

Even the most discerning collector will be impressed.

But at this moment, everyone's eyes were invariably attracted by the murals on the stone wall, and no one cared about the gold, silver and jewelry under their feet.

The murals are colorful, like an ancient totem.

On it, a huge black insect is clearly visible, with a sinuous body and lifelike scales, as if it could jump out of the mural at any time.

It is surrounded by intricate vines and indecipherable mysterious symbols.

Various poisonous insects and snakes can be vaguely seen among the vines...

As soon as Baron's eyes fell on the totem, his pupils contracted instantly.

As a street stalker in southern Xinjiang, he was very familiar with this totem.

"'Soul-eating insect!"

Baron blurted out, his voice filled with a hint of irrepressible excitement, "Could it be that the owner of this tomb is from Southern Xinjiang?"

The Soul-Eating Gu Totem is an extremely rare and powerful Gu insect.

It represents the ultimate control over soul and life.

It is the supreme symbol in witchcraft.

Southern Xinjiang?

Jiang Xiaochuan was quite shocked, and then quickly calmed down. There was little point in figuring out these things now.

"Mr. Shen, what do you think?"

Looking at Shen Qiu, Jiang Xiaochuan suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Shen Qiu's face turned serious, his eyes moving back and forth between the murals and the statues.

After a moment, he slowly said: "If I'm not mistaken, this is the core area of ​​the ancient tomb. What we are looking for is most likely here."

"At this?"

As Barong spoke, he looked around and found that apart from the stone statues and gold and silver treasures, there was no trace of any coffin.

Puzzled, "But there's not even a coffin here?"

"Who says that the jade must be placed in the coffin?"

Shen Qiu sneered: "The layout of ancient tombs is often full of mysteries and ingenuity. The precious jade may be hidden in any place we can't imagine."

"Look at these statues."

Shen Qiu raised his voice a few degrees, attracting everyone's attention, "They may look ordinary, but they may contain mechanisms or clues leading to the location of the precious jade."

"fart!"

Jiang Xiaochuan was secretly complaining in his heart.

At the same time, important information was also obtained. Shen Qiu took great pains to lure them here, just to use these stone statues as obstacles.

If he is not allowed to achieve his goal, I am afraid this old fox will continue to lead them around in circles in this ancient tomb.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaochuan decided to go with the flow:

"Mr. Shen's insights are indeed unique. In this case, please go forward and explore a bit. Maybe you can find some important clues."

Shen Qiu was delighted when he heard this, but he looked reluctant on the surface.

Under the expectant gazes of several people, he walked towards the stone statue.
