As time passed, the speed of the shifting yellow sand escalated, transforming its gentle patter into a relentless rustle…

“This is no mere sand—it’s quicksand!”

After meticulous scrutiny, Luo Feng made the unsettling recognition.

The properties of quicksand were starkly different from ordinary sand; it was far more fine and silky, thus offering minimal friction.

This implied a chilling reality — once trapped, escape would become impossible.

The perilous situation was akin to being stuck in a quagmire.

Indeed, the use of quicksand in a trap did not necessitate the flooding of the entire passage.

The mere act of suffocating a victim’s airways would ensure a deadly outcome. One could not maintain a stance atop quicksand, only sink gradually into its deadly embrace.

“Damn! It’s quicksand, a tomb of quicksand! The most lethal contraption in ancient tombs!”

“Farewell, host. Pass along my disdain to that cunning Boss Cao for me.” “Enough joking around! Please hurry up to the host’s rescue!”

“Quicker, even quicker!”

“It’s futile. The host is stuck deep within the ancient forests and mountains.

There’s nothing to be done!”

The netizens were fraught with anxiety.

Several viewers began to feel a palpable tension. It would indeed be a great loss if such an engrossing livestream were to abruptly cease.

“My friend encountered quicksand while on an expedition in the desert.”

“And then?”

“Well, then I ended up marrying his wife, the woman of his dreams, and I bully his children every day!”

“Haha, you indeed understand Boss Cao!”

“So, this is an ancient tomb from China? What a revelation it has been today!”

The quicksand continued its relentless advance.

A sense of terror permeated amongst the netizens.

One might say the most distressed was the streaming platform. After all, Luo Feng, their golden goose, had just lured in a plethora of new users.

Losing Luo Feng would equate to an immense loss.

However, in that moment, Luo Feng was the epitome of calm.

Given the presence of the Jungle Blade, there would always be a way to carve through mountains and build bridges across rivers, right?

Pushed to the brink…

Luo Feng would not refrain from resorting to the system’s hacks.

For instance, if Luo Feng had intended to breach the stone door earlier, would one slash from his Jungle Blade not shatter it?

What could possibly stand against the power of the Jungle Blade?

But given the nature of the livestream, Luo Feng would abstain from such measures.

Moreover, the life-saving Swallowtail Hoe would never allow Luo Feng to meet his end.

Armed with these two miraculous artifacts, there was no tomb Luo Feng could not navigate, nor any trap that could claim his life.

However, at the present time, there was no necessity to display magic, unless he truly found himself at a dead end.

“That’s it, the junction between the tomb ceiling and the stone door!”

Luo Feng glanced at the tomb ceiling and a notion swiftly sparked within his mind.

The tomb passageway’s ceiling rose slightly above two meters. Any high jumper could reach it.

Nevertheless, even if one did manage to touch it, it would offer no respite. The stone bricks were too slippery to hold onto.

But none of these challenges posed a problem for Luo Feng.

Subsequently, he retreated a few meters, started a swift sprint, bent his knee slightly, and vaulted energetically towards the tomb ceiling.

Upon reaching a certain altitude, Luo Feng wedged his Jungle Blade directly into a crevice in a ceiling brick.

Half of the blade sank into the brick’s crevice.

Simultaneously, Luo Feng unsheathed the life-saving Swallowtail Hoe from his back, commenced digging on another side, and half of the hoe burrowed into a crevice in a different brick.

Luo Feng clutched the hoe in one hand, ensuring it was secured firmly.

With his other hand, he drew out the Jungle Blade.

Then, he began excavating the intersection between the tomb ceiling and the stone door.

This entire sequence of events left the worldwide audience utterly astonished.

“(000)…”

“Good heavens!”

“Can this really be possible?”

“Is this a feat within human capability?”

“The people of Huaxia are indeed true masters of martial arts, it appears!”

In actuality, such a jump was somewhat ordinary; many individuals, roughly

1.8 meters tall, would be able to achieve such a leap.

But to not only ascend but also thrust a blade into the crevices of the wall tiles?

And then to dangle there?

One hand clinging on while the other works?

Unthinkable!

Such a feat cannot be accomplished without martial arts expertise and nimbleness.

Of course, the quicksand moved at a sluggish pace, likely taking several hours to fill the area. This implies that Luo Feng had ample time to work, though it would demand considerable stamina.

This was not a problem, however, as Luo Feng first chiseled out footrests in the wall beneath him.

This move enabled him to conserve a significant amount of energy.

“Ramming earth?”

The corner of the tomb’s ceiling and the stone door revealed compacted earth after a tile was dislodged.

But why did Luo Feng target the corner between the stone door and not the tomb ceiling?

It was simply the only feasible way out.

If he dug through the tomb ceiling, he would likely encounter seven or eight meters of soil on the other side.

How could he escape then?

However, given two or three hours, rescue teams could have directly intervened to save him.

While it was indeed perilous, it was not overwhelmingly so.

In due course, Luo Feng was systematically prying out the floor tiles.

The corner between the tomb ceiling and the stone door was filled with about a one-meter-thick layer of soil.

Approximately twenty minutes later, Luo Feng exerted excessive force while using his Jungle Blade to dislodge the compacted earth, causing his palm to smash against it.

This was because a path had been cleared.

Subsequently, Luo Feng expanded the opening.

Peering outside the stone door, Gu Santong and others had descended, many of whom were members of the archaeology team.

They were all positioned outside the stone door.

“Little Luo, are you alright?” Gu Santong called out excitedly, “The rescue team has begun using large machinery to excavate the soil above you, but it seems like it’s not needed anymore!”

“Of course I’m alright, just some minor adjustments to deal with!” Luo Feng chuckled.

He continued to expand the hole he had carved between the stone door and the tomb ceiling.

One hand clutching the Swallowtail Hoe, his feet braced against small grooves chiseled for footholds.

About ten minutes later, the hole was finally expanded enough to allow a person to pass through!

Though Luo Feng was impressively strong, he was not excessively broad, suggesting that he did not need to widen the hole significantly to squeeze through himself.

“Hehe!” On seeing that the hole was adequately large to facilitate escape, Luo Feng turned to survey the quicksand.

If it were any other person’s mindset, faced with such a scenario, their first thought would undoubtedly be to force open the stone door.

But how could one open the stone door?

The only feasible method involved the corner between the tomb ceiling and the fallen stone door.

The side walls and tomb ceiling were all impassable.

If I were in Boss Cao’s shoes, I would certainly fortify the corner between the tomb ceiling and the stone door with steel! Nevertheless, oversights are inevitable. “Damn it! I can’t get out!”

“Have I actually gained weight?”

Luo Feng glanced at the horizontal tunnel approximately a meter long in the corner.

He shook his head in resignation.

It appears that men who frequently interact with women do indeed gain weight, this is a well-established fact.

With no other alternatives, he continued to marginally enlarge the hole, the task wasn’t overly demanding anyway.

About ten minutes later, a more expansive space was unveiled.

In reality, Luo Feng had contemplated whether he should directly excavate into the corner between the stone door and the tomb ceiling of the main burial chamber.

However, after some thought, he decided against it.

If he had excavated there, the oxygen tank would have been exhausted.

It was a better strategy to escape first.

“Damn it! Is this the host? Today, I truly witnessed what it means to be a master of escape!”

“Look, look, those foreign wilderness survival shows, those escape rooms!

Compared to this? They’re nothing!”

“That’s right, those shows are just tricks to deceive children, all just effects, stooges, and premeditated designs!”

“Our tomb exploration is the genuine article, dare you use a tomb of Cao Cao as a decoy? For a mere reality TV show?”

“From today onwards, the host is my idol!”

“There’s no need to wait until today, the live streamer has been my idol for quite some time!”

At that moment on the internet, the entire network was broadcasting Luo Feng’s daring escape.

It was utterly captivating and satisfying to watch.

This was arguably more thrilling than those tomb robbing films produced by TV shows because this was a genuine tomb robbing incident.

However, compared to TV shows, one area where the footage fell short was pixel quality.

TV shows boast super high pixels, whereas real videos certainly were not as clear.

“Little Luo, hurry, we will catch you!” Gu Santong shouted excitedly.

From his vantage point, all he could see was Luo Feng’s head protruding from the hole at the corner between the tomb ceiling and the stone door.

“Are you serious? You’ll catch me? What if you fail to do so?” Luo Feng retorted, making a grimace.

This signified that he would need to leap down headfirst, a highly dangerous move.

It’s better to trust in oneself rather than others.

Like a serpent, Luo Feng soon maneuvered most of his body out of the hole.

Then, brandishing his Jungle Blade, he thrust it into the crevice of the floor tile, dangled from it, and then jumped down.

Landing safely.

“Let’s get out first, rest for a bit, replace the oxygen tanks, and then we’ll venture into the main burial chamber later!”

Gu Santong, puzzled, thought he misheard: “What? Are we going back in?” “Of course, we’re going back in! I’ve figured out how to get in!” Luo Feng declared..
