Chapter 0326 - Earth Mouse

Er Yi, who was alarmed, subconsciously glanced at Daqing, but he didn't expect it to rush out of the tent.

Er Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed, but after Daqing entered the village, he stopped behind an earthen embryo house, obviously discovering something.

After seeing Daqing's abnormal actions, Er Yi also lightened his steps and quietly approached the past, and vaguely heard the sound of rustling in the house.

Lijiawan Village is a relatively remote rural area, with only about 100 households, most of whom have already bought houses in the city and moved into the city.

Therefore, there are only some middle-aged and elderly people left in the village, and they all live in the newly built small buildings near the village road.

Because the archaeological team is expected to be stationed here for a long time in the future, they applied to the village to borrow these earthen houses as a place for the engineers to rest in shifts.

But in the middle of the night, after a hard day's work, the workers are not sleeping well, and what are they hiding in the house in the dark light?

Strangely, he suddenly heard a soft creak of the old wooden door of the earthen house, and a black shadow bent over and walked out quietly carrying a bag of things.

The big green beside him moved, and Er Yi subconsciously reached out and pressed its back, not letting it move rashly, and a man and a dog squatted in the shadow of the earthen embryo house and observed silently.

Since activating [Dim Vision] and [Dark Vision], the night has been a little less of a distraction for the two ones.

Although the colors are not as bright as in the daytime, in the presence of shimmer light, the vision of the two is no different from that of the day.

So it was very clear that a mechanic wearing the engineering team's signature costume "construction site camouflage" gently placed a snakeskin bag on a small trailer parked in front of the house that the engineering team used to carry dirt.

When he turned around, Er Yi, who was hiding in the corner, found that he was sneakily wearing a mask in the middle of the night, which was a bit interesting.

After activating the [Ear Sharpening Technique], and eavesdropping on the continuous sound of digging in the room for a while, as well as the sound of excited conversation in a low volume.

Er Yi smiled, and gestured to Daqing, who was lying obediently in the corner, with a gesture of "waiting, alert".

Then he activated [Light Walking] and [Light Movement], and tiptoed towards the back door of the earthen embryo house.

Touched the old wooden door, shook it slightly, and found that although it was only concealed, the door shaft that had been in disrepair for a long time was prone to squeak and sharp friction sounds, and Er Yi paused slightly, and the virtual shadow of the book of heaven was like a smart assistant, helping him activate a coping spell:

[Activate Spell] - Silent Portal [Level 0 and Level 0]: 25 feet + 5 feet / level, 1 minute / level;

Special: The caster releases a hazy aura that eliminates the sound of targets that need to be opened (e.g., doors, windows, drawers, chests, etc.), as well as alarms.

......

Eryi paused for a moment, and after branding, he threw a gloomy ball of light that only he could see on the old wooden door, and after the light covered the entire door, Eryi reached out and pushed the wooden door open, and found that there was no sound at all.

Well, the Celestial Calligraphy is really a strange thing, is this kind of spell specially for thieves or spies and other professions to use to infiltrate?

There were five or six members of the engineering team working in a side room, removing a wooden bed with long benches and digging vigorously under the bed with shovels, while others were in charge of loading the earth they had dug up into snakeskin bags to be carried outside on a small trailer.

Eryi took a look at it with [Exploring the Earth], and was surprised to find that there were a large number of metal relics and broken pottery buried in the soil more than a meter deep under the bed board!

It is not surprising that there are artifacts buried under the old earthen houses.

After all, the entire village was built on the ruins, and the way it was built was the traditional pillar earthen embryo house.

When they were building the house, they didn't find anything in the ground, or they dug up some broken pottery and tiles, and the villagers didn't pay attention to it.

What Er Yi is curious about is how did these group of laborers know so accurately that there are treasures there as soon as they arrived in Lijiawan Village?

You know, at this time, even Professor Xu and Professor Donald, archaeologists like them are still studying the scope of the site, this is amazing, right?

After quietly observing for a while, Er Yi found that the person who was in charge of directing several laborers to work was still known to him, it was Lao Lu, the contractor of the engineering team who had been working with the archaeological team all year round!

Due to the special nature of archaeology, a large amount of earthwork needs to be removed during the excavation of some sites, but heavy machinery and equipment such as excavators cannot be used, so it is inevitable that a lot of manpower will be invested.

However, the general construction team is reluctant to take on this kind of project that is both troublesome and not high-income.

So it's hard to have an engineering team take on this kind of work, and naturally every time the site is excavated, they will be looking for them.

The two sides have been cooperating for more than ten years, and they get along quite happily, and Lao Lu has also taken advantage of his relationship with the Zhongshan archaeological team to take over work in the archaeological community, which can be regarded as a relatively unique business.

But I didn't expect this Lao Lu to be a "soil mouse" lurking beside the archaeological team, using the identity of the engineering team as a cover, while earning money from the archaeological team, secretly stealing cultural relics from under the nose of the archaeological team!

It's a show!

Er Yi couldn't help but marvel, the thief hole found over there at the Panlong Cultural Site was left by this guy!

After confirming that they were stealing cultural relics, Er Yi originally planned to quietly withdraw and find someone to come and stop them, but he was attracted by the few bronze artifacts that had been excavated by them!

It is inferred from the time that this site, which is about 700 years earlier than Panlong Castle, should belong to the late Neolithic stage, and theoretically there are few metal vessels.

There are also relatively primitive red bronze wares, rather than bronze alloys that were artificially processed in the later period, so bronze artifacts can be found in the ruins, which are extremely precious cultural relics.

However, from the perspective of the shape, the beauty of the bronzes on the ground exceeds that of similar products of the same period.

It is hard to imagine how such delicate bronze products were cast in the era when stone tools were the main tools.

The most important thing is that these bronze artifacts contain extremely majestic spiritual energy.

Even more than the large amount of pottery in the conservation room before, the spiritual energy contained in it is even larger.

This naturally caused the reaction of the gluttonous beast face, and it regained the state covering Er Yi's face.

Reaching out and touching the gluttonous beast face that had reappeared on his face, Er Yi was surprised to find that it had actually become smooth after devouring a large amount of spiritual energy!
