Chapter 43: Unauthorized Entrants, Death_1
"What kind of joke is this? We’ve come all the way from Yuhang, and you think we’re just going to give up because of one thing you say?"
Before Du Xishan could speak, a man in a suit with a handsome and fair complexion glared at you from behind him.
"A rookie who hasn’t even studied their major for three days, uttering such preposterous statements, laughable."
"They must have read too many tomb-robbing novels, turned a bit silly."
"These days, there are really too many pretentious kids."
As soon as you opened your mouth, the crowd around you began to aim their verbal cannons at you, bombarding you from all sides.
Du Xishan raised his hand, and everyone quieted down; he walked up to you and asked seriously, "Can you give me a reason?"
"Someone has tampered with this ancient tomb. If I’m not mistaken, the grave should roughly consist of five outer coffins and one inner coffin, forming a pentagonal burial," you said as you stretched out your hand to point in the direction of the five surrounding points, turning to Du Xishan. "You should have recognized the species of these five trees by now, right?"
Du Xishan nodded, "These five yin trees are all a thousand years old. Standing here in such an orderly fashion, indeed, it’s quite peculiar."
"But Professor Du, surely we’re not going to be scared off just by a few trees?" The suited Little White Face came over, he was half a head shorter than you, and he didn’t dare come too close, lest his own stature be dwarfed by yours.
