Chapter 1272 - 1271: A Fortunate Mistake

Chapter 1272: Chapter 1271: A Fortunate Mistake

Xia Xi was momentarily astonished and said, "This is like a fortunate mistake..."

Initially, Xia Xi didn’t know what was in the Ancient Tomb. She merely had a hunch that there was treasure inside, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be Gu Tong and their mission ’Seize the Honor’.

Indeed!

Wasn’t it just sheer luck?

Gu Tong pursed her lips, mixing caution with respect, she clasped her hands together and then gently took down the statue. Her movements were slow, fearing to damage the statue even slightly.

One must know that this is a national treasure-level artifact, so they have to be extra cautious.

Xia Xi opened her bag and took out a square box which she originally prepared to store the treasure.

Now it seems, the size of the box is similar to the statue, making it a rather suitable container.

Gu Tong placed it in the box, her heart feeling somewhat settled, she said, "Alright, get ready..."

’Click--’

Gu Tong hadn’t finished her sentence.

The spot where the statue had been began to stir.

The black wooden board retreated, and a piece protruded from the gap.

An antique sandalwood box emerged in their sight.

Xia Xi couldn’t help but complain, "Damn, it really is full of traps..."

Gu Tong glanced at the box and said calmly, "Let’s take it first and study it later."

They didn’t have much time and couldn’t afford further delay.

"Okay!" Xia Xi didn’t hesitate, put on white gloves, and quickly stored the box in her backpack.

All the items were securely packed!

The mission was completed!

However...

They didn’t have much time to celebrate.

Because, simultaneously...

The Ancient Tomb began to tremble slightly.

...

Han Shang raised an eyebrow, a hint of menace in his purple eyes, and said, "What’s going on?"

Gulas hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Reporting to little BOOS, this is likely related to the treasures they’ve removed, the Ancient Tomb might self-destruct!"

Self-destruct...

The mention of these two words caused everyone’s hearts to jolt.

One must understand, they were currently deep inside the tomb; if the tomb self-destructs, they would surely face certain death.

"Everyone evacuate!" Han Shang ordered outright, his command at this moment was absolutely accurate, a decision befitting an outstanding King.

Sicuro Mafia received the order and said, "Yes!"

No one hesitated; they sprang into action immediately; amid the chaos, they remained orderly, escorting Han Shang tightly as they began to evacuate.

...

Han Shang shouted to Gu Tong, expressing his stance, "Follow us closely!"

Gu Tong responded with "Hmm," she did not oppose.

She understood too, the situation in the Ancient Tomb was dangerous, it was definitely not a time for tantrums.

Everyone shared the same belief, they simultaneously rushed towards the exit.

’Click--’

The Ancient Tomb not only began to shake, but rocks started falling.

This situation further confirmed their suspicions, the tomb was set to self-destruct.

Without a doubt, the final stage should be on a countdown timer.

Upon activating the Yin Yang Formation, the timer begins ticking.

The final treasure includes jewels, Gold, silver, and various other artifacts.

If they linger for the other riches, they will lose the Scepter and the precious statue.

But if they choose the latter, they must give up wealth!

The old man’s renovation of the Ancient Tomb is distinct, it also includes his control over human nature.
