88: Strange terracotta figurines in the tomb

To say these people had nothing else, their faces certainly changed fast; they truly lived up to being called the pillars of the entertainment industry—their acting skills were indeed impressive.

Wu Jing took a deep breath and then looked at everyone.

"Since no one has any objections, let's go in."

As Wu Jing spoke, he looked at Ye Bai beside him and made a gesture to step aside.

Yang Mi, Reba, and Bai Lu were all waiting for Ye Bai to go first. In their hearts, Ye Bai was the one who gave them the greatest sense of security; wherever he was, it was safe.

They had even subconsciously begun to view Ye Bai as their leader.

Ye Bai didn't waste any words and started walking forward.

Wu Jing, Yang Mi, and Reba followed closely behind, while Cai Xukun, Hua Chenyu, Zhang Dada, and Huang Zitao followed immediately after them, with the Cameraman bringing up the rear.

They traversed the Passage for twenty minutes only to find a fork in the road, with two Stone Doors blocking their path.

The edges of these two doors were covered in crimson soil, identical in color to the walls they had seen before entering the Passage, and it carried a slight stench.

It was certain that these walls were built from a mixture of cinnabar and glutinous rice.

But now, they had no time to worry about the smell in the air; instead, they were faced with two doors that left them in a dilemma.

Wu Jing, Yang Mi, and the others looked at the two doors, unable to decide for a moment.

"Ye Bai, which door should we take?"

Wu Jing looked back and forth; they both looked the same, and he didn't know which to choose.

Ye Bai was silent for a moment before finally choosing the door on the right.

The others didn't ask questions; they followed wherever he went.

Ye Bai pushed the door open, and a stale odor that had been trapped inside for a long time rushed out at them.

Wu Jing and Yang Mi were standing right behind Ye Bai, and the smell made them cough involuntarily.

Ye Bai was the first to enter, with the others following closely behind as their lighting equipment illuminated the entire space.

They discovered it was a very large side chamber. The walls were built with adobe bricks, and many small terracotta figurines were placed along the base of the walls.

These terracotta figurines were packed densely together and arranged very neatly, just like soldiers in a military formation. The distance between each figurine was equal and very precise.

The facial features of these figurines were solemn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and their gazes were fixed intently on the entrance.

When Yang Mi and the others saw these terracotta figurines, their eyes immediately lit up.

"Are these figurines fired from local ceramics? They look so cute!"

Reba's eyes sparkled at the sight of them, and she really wanted to go over and pick one up to play with.

Before she could act, Ye Bai turned around and shook his head at her.

Seeing Ye Bai shake his head, Reba stopped in her tracks.

Seeing Ye Bai's refusal, neither Wu Jing nor Zhang Dada made a move; they just stared at the small terracotta figurines.

In the Live Stream Room—

[Holy crap! Such a big side chamber just for these things? That's a bit much.]

[What's the situation? What use do these terracotta figurines have? They even gave them their own side chamber?]

[These figurines must be quite old, right? If they were taken out, they'd definitely be worth a lot. I didn't expect the Yelang Kingdom's kiln technology to be so advanced; these little figurines look really good!]

[They are nice, but for some reason, I feel like these figurines are staring at the camera, as if they're looking at me. It feels creepy.]

[I have the same feeling. It's as if these things have souls and are treating us as imaginary enemies.]

The viewers were currently discussing the terracotta figurines before them.

Meanwhile, inside the Archaeology Academy.

All the professors were staring at the small terracotta figurines in dumbfounded amazement.

It wasn't that they hadn't seen ancient ceramic art before, but it was truly rare—almost unheard of—to see terracotta figurines preserved so perfectly.

"My god! These are ancient works of art, terracotta figurines nurtured over a thousand years."

"Indeed! We've seen many terracotta figurines before, but most were damaged."

"To see so many complete figurines now is truly a rare sight."

The other professors were all incredibly excited the moment they saw these figurines.

These were definitely ancient artifacts, relics from a thousand years ago, serving as historical proof.

At that moment—

One of the professors couldn't wait to see the figurines up close; ancient kiln technology was something most worthy of study.

After all, it likely represented a civilization... so he sent a bullet comment in the Live Stream Room.

[Everyone, I am a professor from the Archaeology Academy. Could you pick up a figurine for us to see? We want to observe it up close.]

The message from the Archaeology Academy was immediately pinned. Seeing the comment from the academy, the viewers in the Live Stream Room began to copy and paste it.

They were worried the Cameraman wouldn't see the situation in the Live Stream Room.

The Cameraman saw the screen being flooded with the message and relayed the Archaeology Academy's words.

However... those celebrities had no intention of moving at all.

Zhang Dada, Cai Xukun, and the others looked at each other in silence; no one dared to move.

It wasn't for any other reason than Ye Bai's earlier action, which had made them suspicious.

Earlier, when Reba wanted to go over and pick one up to examine it, she was stopped by Ye Bai. Although he hadn't spoken, it was clear these things were not ordinary.

This was experience gained from bloody lessons; they couldn't afford to be foolish and act rashly again.

Reba, Yang Mi, and Bai Lu also had no intention of acting; they instinctively looked at Ye Bai beside them.

Seeing that Ye Bai had no intention of relenting, they didn't dare move recklessly.

Seeing that no one intended to act, the Cameraman felt a bit awkward.

The atmosphere was a bit tense.

"There is something wrong with these terracotta figurines; do not go near them."

Just as the tension reached a breaking point, Ye Bai spoke up first to break the atmosphere.

"Aren't these just terracotta figurines? What could be wrong with them?"

Wu Jing was also curious. Although he believed Ye Bai's words, he just didn't understand what danger a terracotta figurine could pose.

Ye Bai didn't say anything, only slightly shaking his head.

In the Live Stream Room—

[terracotta figurines are dangerous too? Then definitely don't go near them!]

[Yeah, yeah! You absolutely can't go! Although Ye Bai didn't explain, almost everything he's said along the way has been right; it's better not to get close.]

[Right, right, right. To those archaeology professors, how about we just not look? What if our Dada gets hurt?]

[Yeah! Yeah! It's better to listen to Little Brother Ye Bai, right?]

The viewers in the Live Stream Room all tried to persuade the professors from the Archaeology Academy.

The professors at the Archaeology Academy, however, felt this was quite unreasonable.

"It's just a terracotta figurine, isn't it? What could possibly be the problem?"

"Indeed! Isn't Ye Bai being a bit too cautious?"

"Being careful is good, but this is excessive."

The other professors were somewhat annoyed; to them, this was just a simple task.
