"This coffin is preliminarily estimated to be over two thousand years old."
"It's a miracle it has been preserved so intact."
Professor Li looked at the outer shell of the coffin and couldn't help but sigh.
"Teacher Li, there are some mysterious runes on this coffin. I guess it must be the burial place of a king or general from a certain period."
Xiao Guang chimed in from the side.
Watching the three of them engrossed in their research, Zhang Tian stood aside with his men.
"Boss, I really didn't expect to run into them here."
"Should we take them with us?"
Pang Zi whispered, asking.
Zhang Tian looked around, then at the expert team.
"Let's ask them. If they insist on going, we'll give them something. After all, they are all from Beili."
"However, if possible, we should try to persuade them to turn back. We don't even know how dangerous it is ahead."
Zhang Tian said softly.
He glanced at the expert team around him.
If possible, Zhang Tian wanted them to turn back.
After all, it was a bit dangerous ahead, and ordinary people certainly couldn't endure it.
"Mmm, looking at them like this, the chances of them going back are slim."
Pang Zi nodded, then looked at Professor Li and the others.
After all, they had come here through great hardship; how could they easily turn back?
At the scene.
[Good heavens, how did this expert team end up here?]
[Awesome, even for Zhang Tian and them, reaching this place is quite difficult. How did they manage it?]
[I truly admire these experts; they are fearless indeed. Aren't they afraid of the poisonous insects in the Worm Valley?]
[It seems the expert team has already lost some people. Alas, what a pity.]
Many people on the scene were discussing.
Outside the trial room, Professor Li's grandson, who was now Professor Li, looked on with admiration.
"As expected of Grandpa, unafraid of difficulties, forging ahead. This is what we need to learn."
Professor Li spoke, a look of admiration on his face.
"I never thought Academician Li would actually go to the Worm Valley. I wonder what happened to them afterward."
A middle-aged man beside him said, his face full of anticipation.
"According to Grandpa's diary, they explored the legendary Tomb of the Sacrificing King with several mysterious individuals."
"That was Grandpa's first eye-opening experience, the first time he saw the diversity of the world."
Professor Li said, suddenly a little excited.
He wanted to see what his grandfather had experienced.
Several experts turned their gaze to the screen, wanting to see what Dean Li had gone through before.
As the scene unfolded,
Professor Li and the others had finished studying the coffin.
They packed their backpacks and put the golden mask and scepter into them.
"These two items have strong historical value, and we need to take them back for research."
"Moreover, I suspect these two things are related to a king who disappeared back then."
Professor Li said, looking at Zhang Tian as if asking something.
Zhang Tian nodded.
"You can take them. I happen to have something to tell you."
Zhang Tian said, looking at Professor Li and the others.
Professor Li looked at Zhang Tian, a hint of confusion on his face.
"Please speak."
Professor Li said.
"It's like this, you are looking for the legendary tomb, right? But it's very dangerous ahead, with a high probability of death, so I suggest you stop here and don't go any further."
Zhang Tian said, his eyes showing concern.
Professor Li and Xiao Guang exchanged glances.
They shook their heads almost decisively.
"We had fifteen people this time, but seven or eight died. If we retreat now, I will feel very guilty."
"We must take responsibility for their lives."
Xiao Guang said from the side.
Zhang Tian frowned slightly.
He hadn't expected the expert team to have suffered such heavy losses to come here.
"But while you are responsible for their lives, no one is responsible for yours."
Zhang Tian still wanted to try persuading them.
"Then what about you? Knowing it's dangerous ahead, you still insist on moving forward. What are you doing it for?"
Professor Li's hoarse voice came.
Zhang Tian looked at the stubborn old man before him.
"There is something we need inside, which is why we are going. Since you are unwilling to turn back, then there is nothing we can do."
"I can provide you with some assistance here. I hope you will take care of yourselves."
Zhang Tian said, taking out several talismans.
If Professor Li knew when to retreat, that would be good. If not, Zhang Tian couldn't do anything.
"What is this?"
"Take them. They can save your lives in critical moments."
Zhang Tian didn't explain further.
Professor Li glanced at the people around him and finally accepted Zhang Tian's offerings.
"Um, could you give us some food?"
Xiao Guang said sheepishly.
After all, they hadn't eaten for a long time, and it would be better if they had food.
"Professor Li, I have some here."
Shirley Yang quickly spoke up and handed over her backpack.
Looking at the backpack full of food, Professor Li didn't know what to say.
"Thank you."
Professor Li finally said.
"It's nothing. Then, Professor Li, we'll be going now. We wish you good luck."
Shirley Yang said.
She could see that Zhang Tian didn't want to take Professor Li and the others with them.
And rightly so. If she were in their shoes, Shirley Yang wouldn't want to take them either.
After all, they were ordinary people, and it was already very kind of them to persuade them to turn back after they had rashly come to such a place.
"Mmm, we wish you good luck."
Professor Li nodded.
Zhang Tian also nodded and looked up.
"There are some supplies up there, you can take them. They might be useful to you."
Zhang Tian said, with a wave of his hand, he led Hu Bayi and the others away from the spot.
"Boss, aren't we taking them?"
Pang Zi asked from the side.
"No. I hope they will know when to retreat. Perhaps if they encounter danger, they will leave on their own."
Zhang Tian shook his head.
If Professor Li and the others were lucky enough to leave on their own, that would be the best outcome.
If they were truly unlucky, Zhang Tian couldn't do anything.
Pang Zi nodded.
"It would be a burden to take them along. However, it's a miracle they even made it here."
Pang Zi sighed.
Meanwhile, after watching Zhang Tian and his group leave, Professor Li and the other two felt a sense of melancholy.
"Alas, they didn't take us with them."
Xiao Guang lamented.
"It's good enough that they gave us some help. Don't rely on others. Here, we can only rely on ourselves."
Professor Li said.
He saw things very clearly.
In a place like this, surviving was already a great achievement, so how could they help others?
Not to mention that Shirley Yang had given them food, which was already a tremendous favor.
If it were him, Professor Li was sure he wouldn't have given it all to others.
"I heard there are some supplies upstairs. Xiao Guang, please."
Professor Li said, and Xiao Guang nodded, starting to climb the tree.
At this moment, Zhang Tian and his group had already quickened their pace, hoping to cross the forest as quickly as possible.
