“When I came over just now, I heard you say that you were trapped by this thing, right?”

Zhou Xiaoxiao still found Su Yun’s appearance unbelievable. In her impression, Su Yun should still be in his hometown in Fan City. Why did she meet him in the ancient tomb in the blink of an eye?

Most importantly, Zhou Xiaoxiao realized that Su Yun was not as enthusiastic as when he was pursuing her on WeChat. In response to her question, Su Yun only smiled slightly. His gaze did not linger on her for a moment.

Was he playing hard to get? Or was there some other reason? For some reason, Zhou Xiaoxiao actually felt a little complicated and even a little disappointed.

However, Su Yun’s following words made everyone perk up.

“I heard everything you said just now. Perhaps I have a way to help you open the stone wall.”

Although they were still puzzled by his appearance, everyone was attracted by Su Yun’s words.

“My young friend Su Yun, are you sure?”

Under their gazes, Su Yun did not feel guilty. He looked at Professor Sun and said, “Do you suspect that the mechanism of this stone door is at the top of the tomb path? Perhaps I can help you test if it’s feasible.”

These words immediately made Professor Sun and the others very excited. They were the last people in this team who wanted to return empty-handed.

To Professor Sun, Professor Cai, and even Chen Jie, the attraction of the Chi You’s Tomb to them was something that ordinary people could not understand. Therefore, when someone claimed to be able to resolve the trouble in front of them in this predicament, even though this was unbelievable, they were still excited.

“My young friend Su Yun, please give it a try.”

Su Yun nodded gently before looking up. He thought for a moment and slowly said, “Tell me about your guesses. Where do you think the mechanism is?”

Chen Jie looked at Su Yun curiously. Although she did not say anything, her eyes were filled with curiosity. She was very curious about this student from her school.

Professor Sun quickly pulled Professor Cai to Su Yun and said excitedly, “Young friend Su Yun, I discussed it with Professor Cai and Professor Chen previously. We suspect that the source of the mechanism is most likely those lampstands that fell overhead. It’s just that we can’t try anything at all, so there’s only one hypothesis at the moment.

“Perhaps there was still lamp oil in this lampstand that had been preserved in this special environment. If there’s a way to ignite the lamp oil, we might be able to find the trigger mechanism.”

As Su Yun listened to Professor Sun, he looked up at the lampstand above him. There were a total of seven lampstands, and they were specially arranged in seven stars. In the entire tomb, only the seven lamp stands above the stone wall were there. Thus, Professor Sun and the others concluded that there was some connection between the lamp stands and the mechanism.

After all, if it was just for simple lighting, there should be lamps everywhere along the way. It was not because seven lamps had suddenly appeared in front of the stone wall mechanism. After roughly understanding Professor Sun and the others’ guesses, Su Yun nodded gently. Then, he looked at them and said, “In that case, I have an idea. However, it’s best if one of you carries white phosphorus powder with you.”

Upon hearing Su Yun’s words, they were first stunned. After Chen Jie adjusted her glasses, she took out a small bottle from her bag and looked at Su Yun. “You want to light the lamp oil through the flammable characteristic of white phosphorus? But as you can see, this tomb path is at least ten meters tall. At this distance, even if there’s white phosphorus, where can we find a carrier that can allow the two to come into contact?”

Su Yun did not say a word when he heard that. He only took out seven ordinary poker cards from his pocket. When she saw the poker cards in Su Yun’s hand, Zhou Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in surprise. Master Gu’s expression turned a little strange.

He could not put his finger on it, but Master Gu felt that he had seen this person called Su Yun in his memory. Especially in the dark environment of the tomb, Su Yun suddenly took out a few poker cards. It seemed to have triggered a memory that Master Gu did not want to be recalled.

“Su Yun, do you want to use throwing cards?” Only Zhou Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up when she saw Su Yun take out the poker cards.

“Yes.” Su Yun replied with a smile without much of a response, making Zhou Xiaoxiao inexplicably disappointed. Then, she saw him take the bottle of white phosphorus powder from Chen Jie.

Due to the humidity of the air in the catacombs, the burning point of white phosphorus is significantly lower than in dry air.

Under everyone’s gaze, Su Yun smeared the white phosphorus powder on the poker cards before looking up at one of the lamps. A cold glint flashed in Su Yun’s eyes. With a flick of his wrist, the poker card stained with white phosphorus powder spun at high speed in the air and headed straight for the target.

A faint sound came from the silent tomb path, and then the poker cards burned in the air. Even though the burning point of the white phosphorus powder decreased, it still successfully burned at such a high speed.

As Professor Sun and the others had expected, there was indeed a certain amount of lamp oil preserved in the lampstand. After coming into contact with the flames, a weak light quickly lit up on the lampstand.

Although the light was very weak, it could still play an important role in lighting up the dark tomb.

“Heavens, what kind of material is this lamp oil? It can actually be successfully ignited after a thousand years..”
