This is the last step, and below is the bottom of the dark passage, Ye Tian stopped on this step and no longer went down.

Walker, as well as Miller and Martinez, also stopped and stood on several different steps.

Under the illumination of the searchlight, the bottom of the dark passage at this moment is unusually bright, and the thick dust, dark green moss, and traces of small animals such as mice crawling on the ground are clearly visible!

Like the basement above, and the rest of the tunnel, the bottom of the tunnel is paved with granite, but it is not that big and much lighter.

In addition, the space here is much larger.

The corridor is about three meters long, two meters six or seven meters high, and about two meters five meters wide, and it is completely a corridor hidden deep underground.

On the walls on either side of this corridor are three neoclassical bronze candlesticks, six in all, all from the early 19th century, which are also valuable antique works of art.

At the end of the corridor there is a niche that connects with the curved bend, in which a statue of the Virgin is placed, also a neoclassical sculpture and of a certain artistic value!

After standing on the last step, Ye Tian quickly scanned the situation at the bottom of the dark passage with the help of searchlights, and then said in a deep voice:

"Everyone put on goggles and masks, this place has been closed for more than 200 years, although the air is not bad, not much different from the outside world, but it is inevitable that there is some mold.

After we go down to the bottom of the tunnel, we will definitely bring up some old accumulated dust, so we ask everyone to wear goggles and masks, this is for safety reasons."

With that, he leaned the police shield in his hand against the wall next to him, then took out the goggles and special mask from his backpack and put them on.

"Okay, Steven"

Walker and Martinez in the back responded to each other, and they quickly put on goggles and special masks!

Then, Ye Tian picked up the heavy police shield again, blocked it in front of him, and prepared to continue exploring.

As before, he first looked at the top of the corridor to make sure that there were no mechanisms on it, and then picked up his shield and slammed it against the walls and ground on both sides.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The dull crash sounded again, echoing through the tunnel and the chamber ahead.

A cloud of dust rose on the ground, and beyond that, nothing else changed.

Obviously, there are no traps, the floor and the walls are made of hard granite, which has not been artificially hollowed out to create traps.

After a pause of about four or five seconds, Ye Tian stepped out, stepped onto the ground at the bottom of the dark passage, and gained a firm foothold on the granite floor.

Next, he repeated his old trick, using his heavy shield to constantly tap on the ground in front of him and the walls on both sides, and groped his way forward little by little, although it was slow, but it was very steady.

Walker, Miller, and Martinez, the three of them went down to the bottom of the dark passage one after another, following Ye Tian's footsteps, exploring step by step.

As he explored, Miller was wiring and installing lights, and the corridor grew brighter as light bulbs lit up.

The road is very short, only about three meters.

Between three or two steps, Ye Tian and the others had already reached the end of the road, that is, the starting position of the arc curve.

Walking here, Ye Tian suddenly stopped and stopped moving forward.

Rounding the curved curve ahead, he knew exactly what he would face next.

At the end of the road, two seven-pounder cannons were waiting for you.

Ye Tian quickly glanced at the environment he was in, and then said with a smile:

"Martinez, come and see this statue of the Virgin in the alcove, to see whose work it is, and take the opportunity to rest for a while, to recover your physical strength and calm your emotions.

Miller, Walker, you can unleash the drone and investigate the situation behind this curved curve, from now on, we will have to deal with traps!"

"Okay, Steven, let me take a look at this statue of the Virgin and see if it's the sculptor's masterpiece!"

Martinez answered, and then stepped forward and stood side by side with Ye Tian, and began to admire the statue of the Virgin placed in the alcove at the end of the corridor.

At this time, the position where he and Ye Tian were standing was about one meter seven or eight away from the alcove, and with the help of searchlights, the statue of the Virgin could be seen very clearly.

At the same time, Walker had opened his backpack and unleashed the Beetle drone, which began to probe behind the curved curve.

As before, the beetle drone did not appear on the live broadcast screen, and what appeared on the live broadcast screen at this time was the statue of the Virgin in front of Ye Tian and Martinez.

"This statue of the Virgin is elegant, dignified, and noble, and is carved in bas-relief, judging from these points, it must be a neoclassical sculpture.

The late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were the era of neoclassical sculpture, the most prominent of which was Antonio Canova of Italy.

Judging by the surface texture and muscular sheen of this Madonna, it should not be Canova's sculpture, except for Canova, I am not too familiar with other neoclassical sculptors!"

Martinez commented on the statue in front of him, but did not give a clear answer.

"That's right, Martinez, this is indeed a neoclassical sculpture with a certain artistic value and market value, and it is not the masterpiece of the neoclassical sculptor Canova.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the work of another famous neoclassical sculptor of the same period, Mons, and if you look closely at the hem of the Madonna, it seems to have the author's signature"

As he spoke, Ye Tian pointed to the position of the skirt in the lower right corner of the statue of the Virgin.

Martinez then looked there, his expression excited.

"Sure enough, there's a mark there, it looks like a capital M, it seems to be Mons's personal signature, but unfortunately it's covered in dust, let's go over and take a closer look!"

With that, Martinez stepped forward and wiped off the dust to see what was going on!

Just when he was about to start, he was stopped by Ye Tianyi.

"Don't worry, Martinez, based on the results of our previous investigations, we are now in the danger zone, and for everyone's safety, it is best not to touch anything here.

Later, after eliminating all kinds of traps and making sure that it is safe, it is not too late for us to go over and enjoy the neoclassical sculpture, and the statue of the Virgin will not grow wings and fly, there is time!"

Hearing this, Martinez immediately retracted the steps he was about to take, nodded lightly and said:

"Alright, Steven, let's go see that sculpture later"

Then admiring the sculpture for a while, Ye Tian walked up to Walker, and while looking at the picture transmitted back by the beetle drone, he asked:

"Walker, did you find anything?"

"You're right, Steven, the road behind the curved curve is indeed dangerous, killing everywhere, and there is almost no possibility of passing through it safely.

The two seven-pounder cannons at the end of the tunnel were pointing directly at this side, and the threat was huge, but fortunately, after a long time of erosion, those two cannons had already been rusted and completely scrapped!

The muzzles and barrels of the two guns were covered with rust and moss, and the same was true of the barrels, which had been wiped with anti-rust grease more than 200 years ago.

The seven-pounder shells inside the barrel were also covered with rust, and even stuck to the barrel, not distinguishing from each other, and I didn't see anything of the gunpowder, but it was definitely damp.

On the walls behind the two guns, and on the walls on both sides of the tunnel, we found many shooting holes, through which we could see the muzzles and sharp arrows.

Obviously, behind the firing holes were a large number of tunnel-fired muskets and crossbow arrows, which, if fired at the same time, would completely cover the entire corridor, and those who entered them would not be able to escape.

I'm looking for a control mechanism for the muskets and crossbow bolts to see if I can remove the threat from here, and according to common sense, there should be a control mechanism in the first half of the tunnel, maybe it's all around us.

Of course, it is also possible that the control mechanism of the musket and crossbow bolts is in the secret room, and a special method must be used to pass through this passage, and if this is the case, it will be troublesome.

We haven't had time to explore below the ground, but don't even think about it, the ground of this corridor must be full of dangers, and the triggers of the two cannons, muskets, and crossbow arrows must be on the floor!"

Hearing Walker's introduction, Martinez couldn't help but shudder, and a hint of horror flashed in his eyes.

Fortunately, I didn't touch the statue of the Virgin just now, otherwise I might have died from the random arrows and was shot into a hedgehog by those crossbow arrows!

Not only him, but many people in the living room above and on the live broadcast side gasped and secretly chilled!

Ye Tian smiled softly, and then said to Walker:

"You continue to investigate, try to find the control system of those traps as soon as possible, I will take a look at the situation here, maybe I can find the control mechanism here!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the wall next to him and began to investigate little by little.
