Wiping his Tang sword, Hobert also went over to take a look. Sure enough, the figure in the depths of the grass was still there, but he didn't come out of the painting again.
Hobert took the painting down, facing the picture towards the wall: "The effect of this sealed item is still there. I need to go back and study it carefully to understand its ability."
Now this painting will not bring danger to everyone for the time being.
So everyone's eyes turned to the next section of the tomb passage.
The next section of the tomb passage became much wider, and the length was only about five or six meters. At the end of the tomb passage were two tomb doors.
In the middle of the tomb passage, there were two stone statues. The stone statues looked like ancient knights, wearing armor and holding severely rusted weapons.
In front of the stone statues lay three skeletons. They seemed to have been cut in half directly, or split into two pieces. They looked very messy. It was only through the number of Beyonder characteristics that it was known that they were three skeletons.
Hobert held the Tang sword to clear the way. When he was about half a meter away from the stone statue, the eyes of the stone statue suddenly turned scarlet. They waved two rusty weapons and slashed at Hobert.
Hobert raised his sword to block one of the rusty weapons. He stepped forward and kicked one of the stone statues down.
Austin in the back also pulled out a sword made of refined iron and blocked the attack of the other stone statue.
After Hobert kicked down the stone statue, he continued to move forward, stomping on the head of the stone statue. The two red eyeballs rolled out a long way, and the stone statue completely lost its life.
He then swung his sword and chopped off the head of the other stone statue, and that stone statue also remained motionless.
Hobert's clean and neat offensive made the two team members behind him cast admiring glances.
Then their attention focused on the three skeletons. As long as they entered a certain range, the stone statues would attack the people in the tomb passage. It was conceivable that if they had come in blindfolded, they would definitely be easily killed by the stone statues.
Austin put away his sword, took out the wooden box again, and collected the Beyonder characteristics on the ground and two pairs of red eyes.
So far, they have harvested five Beyonder characteristics, one sealed item, and two pairs of mystical materials. It can be said that this exploration has made a lot of money.
The group walked past the stone statues and came to the tomb door.
Hobert asked Austin: "What are you going to do next?"
"Of course, push open or pull open the tomb door." The strength shown by Hobert made Austin's tone a lot more polite.
He had already decided that in addition to Hobert's choice, he would also give Hobert a trophy, after all, Hobert played a huge role in the exploration process.
"If that's the case, you can't push or pull." Hobert raised the Tang sword and pierced it into the tomb door.
The tomb door was made of bluestone, but under Hobert's sharp Tang sword, it was like tofu, no, there is no tofu in the North and South continents, it was as fragile as fresh cheese.
Hobert relied on his brute force to cut an irregular hole in the tomb door that could accommodate one person.
With a gentle push forward, the cut stone slab was pushed inside. Austin raised the torch and looked in. Inside was a spacious tomb chamber, with a stone coffin on the inner side of the tomb chamber, and a row of burial objects on each side.
In addition, there was also a rusty armor hanging on the wall, and a piece of animal skin that could not be seen what kind of animal it was.
Was the tomb owner a military general during his lifetime? The armor was a personal item, and the animal skin was the fur of his favorite prey?
After waiting for a while, it seemed that there was no danger inside. Austin was the first to enter, holding his sword in both hands, vigilantly looking at the tomb chamber.
After a few seconds, he asked Lena: "Are there any wraiths?"
Lena said: "No."
Only then did everyone enter the main tomb chamber one by one. Hobert took out candles from his pocket and asked, "Where is the southeast corner?"
Several people looked at each other, obviously losing their sense of direction in the winding tomb passage just now.
Hobert was helpless, so he randomly found a corner that was not in the way and lit the candle, which was a little psychological comfort to himself.
Austin and his two subordinates first looked back at the tomb door. There was a bolt on the lower part inside the tomb door, which looked like there was a mechanism.
Then Austin asked a subordinate to guard the door, and he took another subordinate to check the burial objects.
Hobert was not in a hurry to step forward, but intentionally or unintentionally stared at Lena.
The harvest in the tomb chamber was not small, there were some gold and silver utensils and gems, and a necklace. Everyone's spirituality could feel that this necklace was a magical item, but its specific ability was not clear.
The boxes containing the items were also antiques, which could be sold for a good price.
Then, everyone turned their attention to the stone coffin.
There was also a wooden box on the stone coffin, which was not locked. Austin opened it and saw a yellowed parchment paper in the wooden box, with the following written in Hermes language: Open my stone coffin, disturb my sleep, you will be cursed, take the other burial objects and leave, this is the final warning.
Several people looked at each other. In this Beyonder world, curses are real. It's just that they didn't know if the curse would have expired after thousands of years?
In the end, Austin said: "We're already here, how can we not see what's in the stone coffin?"
So everyone moved the burial objects that had been obtained to the side, and Austin and two subordinates took crowbars to open the coffin.
After a lot of effort, the coffin was finally pried open.
Hobert also came over to help, and everyone successfully pushed the stone coffin.
The things like the imagined gale blowing through, and the vicious curse echoing in the tomb chamber did not happen.
Thump~
The coffin lid fell to the ground, revealing the scene inside.
To everyone's surprise, there was only a corpse and a thick, dusty book in the coffin.
The tomb owner's Beyonder characteristics were not here. He must have died of natural causes and was not buried with him at all.
Austin muttered: "Bad luck!"
At the risk of being cursed by the tomb owner, there was nothing of value inside.
At this time, Hobert suddenly noticed that when cleaning up the burial objects just now, it was Austin and a mercenary subordinate, but when opening the coffin, it became Austin and two mercenary subordinates?
Looking at the direction of the tomb door again, the mercenary guarding the door was still there!
A mercenary was created out of thin air!
However, the light in the tomb chamber was dim, and it was not clear what the mercenary guarding the door looked like.
Hobert clenched his cane, ready to leave the tomb chamber at any time.
At this time, Austin also found that there were two subordinates around him. He took the dusty book out of the stone coffin and said: "Pete, I asked you to guard the door, so just guard the door obediently, go back!"
The young man called Pete seemed not to have heard Austin's words, and showed a strange smile.
At the same time, in the direction of the tomb door, the mercenary guarding the door asked: "Boss, did you call me just now?"
Everyone's movements stopped, and the temperature in the tomb chamber reached freezing point in an instant.
