Chapter 586 Just a little bit of wind and frost
"Whoosh whoosh—"
Bronze arrows don't have eyes.
Shao Wei and Zhang Yunfeng felt terrible seeing Wang Ping fleeing in such a sorry state, and they even hated Hu Jizhou, who had just assured them that Wang Ping would not be in any danger!
"Brother Qin An...why don't you lend a hand to save Wang Ping? I think he's really learned his lesson this time! It wouldn't be worth it if he lost an arm or a leg or his life!" Zhang Yunfeng pleaded desperately.
Shao Wei also chimed in from the side.
"Yes! Brother Qin An... Wang Ping's personality is a bit off! But he's smart! He'll be taking over from Academician Luo Jiewei and contributing to China's infrastructure development!"
Hear this.
Qin An couldn't help but frown.
Shao Wei always talks like this, constantly trying to impose his moral high ground on you and make you feel like a bad person if you don't listen to him.
Qin An hated dealing with people like that.
"It doesn't seem like I was the one who sent Wang Ping to scout ahead for us, right? Wasn't it just that he was being stubborn and competitive? Why is it that when something goes wrong, I'm the one who has to cover for him?" Qin An asked calmly.
Hear the words.
Shao Wei's expression changed. "Brother Qin An! You can't say that..."
Shao Wei wanted to flatter Qin An, using the concepts of kinship and patriotism to morally blackmail him into rescuing Wang Ping, but a sudden scream from ahead interrupted him.
"what--"
A scream was heard from Wang Ping's mouth.
The entire archaeological team looked over!
Wang Ping was lying on his side on the ground in the passageway, his right hand tightly covering his left arm, and there was a bone arrow stuck in his left arm!
The arrowhead of the bone arrow protruded three inches outwards, the shaft was wedged between the ulna and radius bones, and the fletching at the fletching was still trembling slightly.
"Ouch—it hurts so much!"
Wang Ping's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Since he did not run any further and trigger the mechanisms in the passageway, the hidden arrows in the walls on both sides temporarily ceased firing and showed no signs of shooting outwards.
"Hey—Wang Ping! How are you feeling?"
Seeing that the bone arrow had pierced through Wang Ping's arm, Shao Wei was anxious to run over and check on his injury, but he was also afraid that the traps were lying in wait, so Shao Wei could only anxiously pace around in place.
Zhang Yunfeng, on the other hand, was quite brave.
He rushed forward.
Since Wang Ping had already stepped on most of the traps, Zhang Yunfeng rushed to Wang Ping's side without seeing any arrows fall.
Zhang Yunfeng first took out a towel from his backpack, wrapped it into the size of a baby's fist, and then shoved it into Wang Ping's mouth.
Before Wang Ping could react...
Zhang Yunfeng then suddenly pulled out the bone arrow that had been shot into Wang Ping's arm!
"Uuuuuu——"
Wang Ping was in so much pain he wanted to scream!
But with the towel stuffed in his mouth, he couldn't say a word.
All it could do was howl and whimper.
Zhang Yunfeng then skillfully applied the medicine and bandaged the wound.
Once he completes this entire process.
Shao Weicai belatedly walked over to the two of them.
"Wang Ping, how are you feeling?"
"Why aren't you saying anything? Did you get hurt somewhere else?" Shao Wei was sweating profusely, worried that Wang Ping might have other wounds.
at this time.
Zhang Yunfeng pulled the towel out of Wang Ping's mouth, and Wang Ping began to gasp for breath and cry out in pain, making Shao Wei look embarrassed.
Then the rest of the archaeological team came up as well.
They huddled together, looking down at Wang Ping.
They wanted to see what nice things this guy would say after his brush with death, but to their surprise, Wang Ping grinned and said in a pretentious tone, "It's just a little bit of hardship."
The archaeological team members: "........."
[Wait a minute? This guy was just screaming his lungs out! How come he looks so relieved now? He's changing his tune without batting an eye, huh?]
[What the hell? It's just a little bit of hardship. Turns out Wang Ping is a charlatan too, even more annoying!]
What did we, the Gu people, do to you?
I thought this kid would learn his lesson after being shot by an arrow, but it seems he hasn't improved at all. What if he tries to be competitive again next time?
He was lucky this time; if there were a next time, the arrow would probably have pierced his brain, and then it would truly be a case of an arrow entering his brain.
............................
Seeing that there was no trace of remorse on Wang Ping's face.
The members of the archaeological team stopped looking at him.
Qin An didn't even glance at him, and simply led the way forward, saying, "Follow me."
Hear the words.
The others quickly followed Qin An to avoid locations that might trigger the traps. Only Shao Wei and Zhang Yunfeng helped Wang Ping up.
"Are you sure you can handle this? Are there any broken bones or tendons in your hand?"
Wang Ping shook his head and said, "I feel much better. I can move my fingers, so I don't think I was seriously injured."
Done.
Wang Ping paused again and looked at Zhang Yunfeng.
"Thank you, Teacher Zhang."
Zhang Yunfeng waved his hand and sighed, "Sigh, just remember this next time. We're here to assist the archaeological team, there's no need to risk our lives."
After saying this.
Zhang Yunfeng intended to start walking away.
However, he still advised, "I don't know why you hate Brother Qin'an, but Brother Qin'an has never offended you. Your bright future is not here. In the geological survey outside, don't forget the lesson of Qi Min."
Wang Ping's lips moved.
He wanted Xie Wenjing or Wang Yanyan, and didn't want these two women who haunted his dreams to fall in love with Qin An, but Wang Ping couldn't bring himself to say it.
The words come to your lips.
He could only say, somewhat reluctantly, "I understand."
Seeing the unwillingness in Wang Ping's eyes.
Zhang Yunfeng shook his head and sighed, knowing that Wang Ping hadn't taken his words to heart. He decided not to care what trouble Wang Ping might cause next and turned to quickly follow Qin An and the others.
"Let's go too!"
Before leaving, Shao Wei called Wang Ping over.
The group set off again, heading deeper into the passageway.
Since Qin An led the way from then on, the group did not encounter any traps or mechanisms. They thought that the end of the passage would lead to a tomb.
What the archaeological team never expected was...
At the end of the passageway was a circular altar, which was particularly spacious, and the top of the burial chamber was thirty or forty meters above the ground!
A tall stone statue stands to the right of the altar!
The stone statue is holding a giant axe with both hands.
And right in the center of the altar was a bronze coffin!
Such a massive altar is truly astonishing.
