Chapter 655 Yin Soldier
"Hehe... Sister Sitian! Can we make up?"
Yang Lele quickly helped Zhang Sitian up from the ground... Zhang Sitian originally wanted to give Yang Lele a flick on the forehead and say a few words to her so that she would watch her step when she walks in the future.
But when she saw Yang Lele close her eyes and shrink her neck in fear, Zhang Sitian gently lowered her raised right hand.
"Never mind! You didn't do it on purpose."
Hear this.
Yang Lele opened her eyes in disbelief.
"Huh? Sister Sitian! You're not hitting me this time?"
Zhang Sitian let out a muffled groan.
"Huh? What? You think I've turned you into a masochist? Since you're so eager to get beaten up, I'll grant your wish!"
Done.
Zhang Sitian pretended to raise her right hand to hit Yang Lele.
Yang Lele quickly ran away and hid behind Jiang Liuli.
Just as the two were playing and joking around.
Suddenly, the sound of drums beating and cheering came from behind them.
"Thump thump thump—thump thump thump thump—"
Then came the sound of a horn being blown!
"woo woo woo woo--"
The sudden commotion startled the entire archaeological team!
Zhang Yunfeng and Shao Wei quickly shrank to Qin An's side, and the rest of the people also gathered around Qin An. Only Gu Yang, Eagle Eye, and Hu Jizhou spontaneously stood on the outermost edge of the crowd.
They stood with their backs to the archaeological team, their eyes fixed intently on their surroundings.
"Boom boom boom——"
The sounds of drums and horns all around continued unabated... and instead grew louder and louder as time slowly passed, sounding as if soldiers were being commanded to launch an attack.
Wang Yanyan was so frightened that she trembled all over:
"Professor Zhang! Professor Shao! What's going on? Could it be that beating drums and blowing horns was common during battles in ancient times?"
Hear this.
Zhang Yunfeng nodded and said, "The Chi You tribe in ancient times was known for its bravery and fierceness! Don't think that products from ancient times are backward... Long before the Battle of Zhuolu, Chi You had already invented the bronze halberd, a powerful weapon."
Chi You also invented the drums and horns needed for battle long ago. It could be said that Chi You was born to fight to the death!
Zhang Yunfeng's words also indirectly explain why Chi You's nickname is "Master of War".
Qin An also asked, "So the sound of drums and horns now is the signal for the soldiers to launch a fierce attack?"
Hear this.
Shao Weiqiang replied, "No... this is not a signal to launch an attack! We have studied ancient vocal music! This sound should be a signal to wake up sleeping soldiers for assembly and drills."
practice?
Soldier?
The members of the archaeological team were completely confused.
There wasn't even a mosquito on this empty, muddy ground!
Where did these soldiers come from?
Surely an army can't just magically appear out of thin air like Guang Chengzi did with his beans, right?
Having no clue whatsoever, the archaeological team decided to wait and see!
After all, they didn't even know where the drumming and horn sounds were coming from...
Of course, it could also be related to the structure of this open space!
This open space is quite large!
Moreover, it is surrounded by a ring of hard rock walls.
Therefore, all that is needed is to place a drum and a horn mechanism in one corner of the open space, and the sound they produce will instantly travel to every corner of the open space.
Therefore, even Qin An couldn't tell where the sound had originally come from!
After a while.
Just when the archaeological team thought the sound of drums and horns would gradually fade away... unexpectedly, the sound became even louder!
Zhang Yunfeng and Shao Wei's expressions turned somewhat strange.
They exchanged a knowing glance first!
Their faces then turned deathly pale.
"This is bad... This time, the drumming and horn blasts are signaling an attack! And it's a decisive battle!"
Zhang Yunfeng looked around anxiously.
They looked as if they were afraid an army would suddenly appear out of nowhere at the edge of the open space!
Xie Wenjing looked somewhat confused: "Attack? Who's attacking us? There's not even a fly here except for us, is there?"
It's not just her.
The rest of the archaeological team thought the same thing!
They all thought Shao Wei and Zhang Yunfeng were making a fuss over nothing; it was just a gong and horn device used to scare away tomb raiders.
But soon the members of the archaeological team changed their minds.
Suddenly, a deafening battle cry erupted from the empty, pitch-black muddy ground!
The sound was like the shouts of a thousand-strong army of cold weapons during a head-on battle.
But something about the sound was off.
Unlike the familiar "Kill!", it was a harsh, piercing shout.
heard this movement.
The members of the archaeological team all turned to look around.
However, the area illuminated by the bright white light of the flashlight remained empty, with nothing else appearing.
"Professor Zhang! This shouting and killing sounds a bit strange. Can you translate it into plain language?" Hu Jizhou asked Zhang Yunfeng, turning his head while holding up his Vajra umbrella.
At this moment, Zhang Yunfeng's face had turned deathly pale.
"The shouts of battle should mean: Kill these invaders and defend the main tomb to the death."
Until the shouts of battle grew closer and closer.
Qin An's sense of killing intent also began to pulsate more frequently!
"Could those battle cries be coming from the mouths of ghost soldiers?"
A bold idea popped into Qin An's mind.
He began asking the system questions.
"Damn system! Do you have any items that allow people to see ghost soldiers?"
[Some of you have it! The "Shadow Aura" is for you! You can get it for just 2000 Science Popularization Points!]
Qin An had a premonition that he and his companions had indeed encountered ghost soldiers!
When the ghost soldiers encounter living people in the passageway, they often kill them on the spot... Those who are killed usually die silently.
Therefore, it's a great deal to see the ghost soldiers by spending only 2000 science popularization points.
However, just to be on the safe side...
Qin An still clicked on the introduction of the Yin-Seeing Aura.
[Aura of the Visible Ghosts: Automatically activated upon purchase. During use, anyone within 30 meters of the host will be able to see ghostly soldiers or other eerie creatures! The effect lasts for 10 minutes, after which the aura will completely disappear.]
After confirming it is correct.
Qin An clicked "Buy" directly!
The Yin Aura was immediately put into use!
All of a sudden.
Qin An and the rest of the archaeological team saw the ghostly soldiers rushing towards them... These ghostly soldiers were wearing armor, but only the breastplates; the rest of their bodies were still covered in silk robes.
Most of them were holding bronze halberds!
The men who came on so aggressively had angry expressions on their faces, as if they wanted to devour someone!
