Hundreds of individuals participated in the excavation. With the guidance of

Luo Feng, they made impressive progress by midday. When noon arrived, Luo Feng and his crew started their meal break. Upon finishing, they promptly resumed the excavation.

By the afternoon, around three o’clock, they had reached approximately five meters in depth. Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed from Luo Feng’s pickaxe. He was not surprised, but the archaeologists were somewhat taken aback, all their eyes gravitating toward the source of the sound. They discovered a large bluestone.

“Old Luo, could we have misaligned our position?” asked Master Gu, his tone tinged with worry. “Could the tomb be much larger than anticipated?”

This made Luo Feng consider the possibility. Was there a connection between the periphery and the interior? “Continue digging here,” he directed. They had no choice but to adjust their direction and carry on.

They continued their work until past ten in the evening. In the blink of an eye, five days passed. Compared to the massive undertaking, Luo Feng’s efficiency was commendable. The former assassin had successfully reached directly beneath the ancient tomb. From this point of entry, the quicksand could not fill the entire tomb chamber.

At present, they were about ten meters underground.

“Goodness, this ancient tomb is truly hard to enter. We have to pierce through from the bottom,” one of them sighed.

“I know, right? Almost a week and we have only gotten this far.”

Luo Feng interjected, “Don’t overthink it. There are not many valuable things in there, just worth several billion.”

This was the estimate provided by the system. What treasures could there be? The quicksand was just a deterrent for tomb raiders, not a protection for the artifacts. For a man like Sima Yi, he was not interested in treasures. All he desired was to rest undisturbed.

“It’s compacted soil! It’s compacted soil! We’ve finally reached it!” someone yelled after a few more hours of excavation.

“Compacted soil means we’re nearing success! Old Luo, keep going!”

“Hurry up, break through! I want to see Sima Yi’s remains, I want to flog his corpse to avenge Liang!”

Simply put, once the bottom of the tomb was located and they dug upward, seeing compacted soil — distinct from natural soil — meant that they had reached the tomb. Compacted soil was man-made. Discovering it meant they had found the ancient tomb.

Compacted soil was much harder than ordinary soil, making the excavation strenuous. They couldn’t use any heavy machinery, considering they were operating beneath the tomb. If they were not careful, the entire tomb could collapse. So, apart from Luo Feng’s guidance, there were several engineers in the team as well.

“It’s floor tiles! We’ve hit the floor tiles!” Luo Feng announced, hearing a distinct sound.

After compacted soil, they were bound to hit the floor tiles of the main tomb chamber. There was no doubt about it. After days of digging, they had finally found it.

Sima Yi might have used quicksand to seal the tomb, but they had precise positioning of the main tomb chamber and managed to create a tunnel. Sima Yi probably wouldn’t have expected that Luo Feng would enter from beneath the tomb.

Based on the capabilities of the ancients, it was possible to locate the tomb precisely, but it would require a significant amount of manpower and resources. Unless you were a wealthy prince. But at that level, who would covet some burial objects?

In modern times, entering from below, although considered a big project, was not an epic task. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been completed in just a few days by hundreds of workers.

“Little Luo, have we found it?”

Master Gu, whom upon hearing the news, had also put on a safety helmet and come to the excavated tunnel. However, the tunnel was reinforced with steel plates to prevent collapse.

“Yes, we found it!” Luo Feng nodded.

“Fantastic, absolutely fantastic. We’ve entered Sima Yi’s tomb!” Master Gu was somewhat exhilarated.

He had imagined that even if they found the right location, it would take them at least two weeks. He hadn’t expected that in just five to six days, they would have completely cracked it.

“I’m going up first!”

Having found the exact location of the upper tomb, Luo Feng was eager to explore.

Incorrect, it should be “going up the tomb.”

Donning his gas mask and attaching an oxygen cylinder, Luo Feng was hoisted upwards. He switched on his headlamp and shone it inside the tomb. Unexpectedly, a human face appeared in front of Luo Feng, barely half a meter away, giving him quite a fright.

“Damn it, what is that?” he exclaimed, his heart pounding.

“I’m scared to death!”

“I was so scared, my heart can’t take this, you guys from the show will have to compensate me!”

“Where’s my medication?”

“Dalang, it’s time to take your medication!”

The viewers and Luo Feng had a similar reaction, all of them startled as if they were watching a horror movie. They were only separated by a screen.

But Luo Feng had seen the face in person.

“Phew!” Luo Feng took a deep breath, cursing Sima Yi and his ancestors in his mind.

What was the point of putting a face there to scare people? Was he out of his mind?

He was initially worried about encountering dangerous traps in the tomb, but now instead of traps, he saw a corpse standing right there.

After calming his nerves, Luo Feng retreated half a meter and shone his headlamp again. Upon seeing the thing clearly, a look of surprise crossed his face..
