Chapter 420: Stop Pretending and Show Your Cards. I’m Su Yun! (4)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Yun knew very well that guarding this passageway and extending the war would only be more disadvantageous to him. If a large number of reinforcements rushed over, not to mention this passageway, even the entire ancient tomb might fall in a short period of time.
If the archeological team could take away the valuable things in the tomb before that, even if these mercenaries entered the remaining empty tomb, they would not suffer any losses. He could retreat calmly and mediate the battle.
“Macheteman, why are you helping us?” Feng Shaoyu asked the question that they were all puzzled about on behalf of everyone. Unfortunately, there was no response to this question.
“Report, that signal is disconnected.”
The technician’s voice came, making Feng Shaoyu a little disappointed. However, he also knew that the Macheteman was now on the battlefield and surrounded by danger. It was already not easy for him to send him news. He did not have time to talk at all.
However, this was a very difficult choice. Should he trust an unfamiliar foreign assassin and let the archeological team take the risk? Even though Feng Shaoyu did not say this worry, Xu Kui and Chen Ye seemed to understand very quickly.
“I think this Macheteman can be trusted. Otherwise, there’s no need for him to take such a huge risk and guard the entrance alone. It had to be known that the reason why the mercenaries had yet to enter the ancient tomb was because of the existence of the Macheteman. Based on this, he shouldn’t be an enemy.”
Chen Ye rationally voiced his judgment. Xu Kui nodded in agreement. “That’s right. If he had ulterior motives, he wouldn’t have to do this. There were still nearly 70 mercenaries surrounding the entire tomb entrance. The pressure that Macheteman had to bear to guard the tomb alone could be imagined. He was probably a friend Su Yun had found. Otherwise, why would he take such a risk? I think we can do as he says. However, I have to personally lead the team and follow the archeological team to protect them.”
“No need!” Professor Sun firmly rejected Xu Kui’s suggestion. “It’s useless even if you go in. According to our analysis of the soil in this area, once we encountered mercenaries in the tomb passage and counterattacked, the tomb passage would definitely collapse on a large scale because it could not withstand such an impact.
“Moreover, you don’t have any archeological experience. There are still some hidden mechanisms in the ancient tomb. Once triggered, it would only cause more meaningless casualties. If there were too many people, it would be counterproductive in the ancient tomb.
“The most important thing for us now is to end the battle quickly. We can enter the main tomb in the time that the Macheteman has bought and take away Chi You’s corpse. The rest of the cultural relics can be discussed later.
“Therefore, no one should be rash. This matter was decided. The archeological team will continue to move. Su Yun had already helped us clear most of the mechanisms. This time, we could enter the main tomb in the shortest time possible. As soon as the news of the Macheteman arrived, we would race against time and immediately begin to take action. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine.”
Although Xu Kui and Feng Shaoyu still wanted to say something, they knew that Professor Sun was right. How could they not know how great the risk they had to bear in this tomb? However, they still resolutely and without hesitation. It was enough to show their responsibility.
Time was tight. Professor Sun and the others did not hesitate at all and immediately began to organize their equipment. Even Chen Jie, who was a woman, had a determined expression on her face. She had never said the word ‘afraid’.
On the other hand, Master Gu’s ideology was clearly much worse. Although he was also constantly packing his equipment, he kept muttering. “Will it work?
It’s too dangerous. I must have been out of my mind to choose to come here. Can’t I just stay at home? Why did I have to come here to die…” While feeling indignant, Master Gu carried his backpack firmly.
“Old Gu, things have already exceeded our initial expectations. If you give up now, no one will say anything.”
Before leaving, Professor Sun specially said this to Master Gu. Under such pressing emotions, they would rather have one less person than someone whose mentality was shaken.

However, to Professor Sun and the others’ surprise, after Master Gu heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, “That won’t do. I, Old Gu, am in this industry. At the very least, I’m a famous person. Although I prefer to be alone most of the time, won’t I be a deserter if I don’t go at this juncture? I, Old Gu, like to take advantage of small things, and I don’t have any great ambitions, however, the treasure of Huaxia belonged to Huaxia!
“Especially the ancestor’s corpse. How could I let a foreigner take it away?
Could it be that I had to pay respects to the foreigner when I went to the grave in the future? When Pig Head Rong and the others looked for me, I didn’t help them at all. I was just feigning civility. I dared to pat my chest and say this. Master Gu still has a bottom line.” As he spoke, Master Gu carried his backpack and walked out. “Alright, let’s go quickly. If I’m still alive this time, it’s better to introduce more business to me.”
Looking at Master Gu’s figure, Professor Sun and the others looked at each other and smiled helplessly. “I knew it. I didn’t misjudge him.” After saying this, Professor Sun led the others out again.
