Almost without thinking, Chen Jie quickly opened the backpack she had been carrying with her and took out the bandage. As she gently bandaged Su Yun’s wound, she said gently, “That’s all I can do for now. You have to clean your wound as soon as possible. Otherwise, once you get infected, you’ll be in big trouble.”
Looking at his bandaged arm, Su Yun nodded gently. He had not interacted much with Chen Jie. Strictly speaking, Chen Jie was still Su Yun’s teacher. After all, Chen Jie was an archeology professor at Hibiscus City University where Su Yun was.
Although there was a difference of seven or eight years in age, the two of them had never interacted with each other. In addition, they were teachers and students. Therefore, at this moment, the two of them seemed to be a little distant.
“Su Yun, thank you.” At that moment, Chen Jie looked up at Su Yun, her tone still very mature and reserved. Although Su Yun could tell that there was still a hint of unease in his voice, it was already very rare for Chen Jie to be strong in a desperate situation. The reason why Chen Jie thanked Su Yun was because she knew that if Su Yun had not risked his life to stand in front of her, she would not have been as simple as a scratch. “I should have been the one taking care of and protecting the students, but I implicated you.”
“You’re welcome. It’s my duty.” Su Yun shook his head with a smile. Although this smile was a little forced, Chen Jie could understand that Su Yun just did not want her to take it to heart.
Soon, Su Yun held the lampstand and observed his surroundings with the help of the weak fire. They had no idea how long they had been trapped. In this dark underground, time had completely lost its effect.
Chen Jie habitually raised her wrist to look at her watch. However, under the effect of the chaotic magnetic field in the tomb, the hand of the watch kept spinning and completely lost its effect.
This made Chen Jie sigh helplessly. “We’re trapped. I wonder how Professor Sun and the others are doing.”
“Professor Sun and the others will definitely be fine.”
Su Yun’s voice came from not far away. He was stabbing the wooden saber under a rock, using the principle of leverage to pry it open.
Upon seeing this scene, Chen Jie quickly stopped Su Yun. “That should be the main point. If it’s 40 centimeters to the left, it should be able to make that stone fall sideways.”
Chen Jie’s words entered Su Yun’s ears and quickly made his eyes light up. “This way, we only need to stand in the other direction ot the stone falling to the side and can get out through the crack before the fixed support collapses!”
Chen Jie immediately nodded. Although she was also very flustered and even afraid, she also knew very well that these emotions could not help them resolve the trouble in front of them. Moreover, as a teacher, she had to calm down and take on the responsibility of a teacher. Fortunately, her knowledge could still be useful at this time. This was the only thing that Chen Jie was gratified about.
BOOM!
Soon, Su Yun followed Chen Jie’s instructions and successfully pried open a crack. The originally stable triangular support was destroyed, and a small collapse appeared in the tomb again.
Thankfully, Su Yun reacted quickly. He grabbed Chen Jie’s smooth and delicate hand and pulled her out of the gap. Another loud bang sounded out. At this moment, there was no longer a place for the two of them to hide in the ruins.
If there was a second collapse here, the two of them would have no chance of survival. After this loud bang, Chen Jie panted heavily. Clearly, she had suffered a lot of shock.
“Miss Chen, don’t worry. I’ll do my best to ensure your safety.”
Su Yun’s firm and steady voice sounded in her ears, causing Chen Jie to subconsciously look at Su Yun. Su Yun was observing his surroundings under the light of the fire. At that moment, Chen Jie could see Su Yun’s clear profile.
It was also because of this that Chen Jie realized that Su Yun was still holding her hand tightly. Although she knew that Su Yun’s actions were an instinctive reaction in an emergency, she still felt that it was a little subtle.
“Miss Chen, because of the collapse, there seems to be a tomb path that I’ve never seen before. I wonder where it leads to.’
Su Yun was clearly a little careless and did not care about this at all. He released her hand and pointed at the entrance of the tomb that had been exposed because the tomb wall had collapsed.
Only then did Chen Jie realize that she had been distracted. She quickly adjusted her state as if nothing had happened and laboriously arrived at the entrance of the tomb with Su Yun. Soon, Chen Jie squatted at the entrance of the tomb and carefully checked. Then, she thought for a moment and said, “If I’m not wrong, this should be the passageway used to transport construction materials. At that time, there were no tools to speak of. The concept of weapons also came from Chi You.
“This passageway was already considered a very smart method. Although I did not know where the tomb led, it should be outside the tomb. Otherwise, construction materials could not be transported. They set up an entrance outside and dug out a sliding passageway. As for the rest, they only need to arrange for people to be at both ends to achieve the most efficient transportation.”
Chen Jie quickly relied on her professional knowledge to conduct a professional analysis of this tomb. This discovery quickly gave Su Yun hope. “Although I don’t know where this leads to, it’s at least better than staying in this sealed tomb..”
