Chapter 29 - Professor

"What the heck is happening outside?" a thin person asked, feeling the vibrations in the cave.

"Don't know. Maybe they are trying to dig another tunnel from the other side of the mountain" another person with spectacles said.

"Shouldn't they inform us before? This cave is very old and the inner structure is fragile. What if it collapses? Tell Luo Shan to stop it" that thin person said annoyed.

"Professor! Professor!" they heard a hurried voice coming towards them.

"What? Why such hurry?" said that thin person loudly.

"Where is professor? Something happened outside" said that person gasping.

"He is inside the chambers, searching for the vault. What happened?" said that man with the spectacles with a hint of worry.

"A bomb. A bomb went off in the camp" said that guy covered in dust and sweat.

"A bomb? What is Luo Shan doing? He is the charge of the security right?" that thin guy said angrily.

"Don't know, but it is a targeted attack. I heard guns shots from the forest and the guards went there but after ten minutes an explosion happened near the main tent. There are only ten guards present in the camp, and it is chaos outside. We have to leave this place as soon as possible" said that guy with a trembling voice.

"The Luo Shan you are talking about has any scar on his face?" another person came near them

"Yes. That is Luo Shan. Wait, who are you?" said that man with spectacles, seeing one more person coming towards them.

"I'm the worker here. I saw the explosion and ran inside the cave. Are you guys the archaeologists working here?" Wang Wei said slowly, walking towards three of them. He covered his face with a shirt he has in the mirror world.

"Who are you?" said that thin man and strolled back, keeping a distance from Wang Wei. The other two guys are startled and instantly their eyes became alert.

"Well, looks like I don't have to act. So are you guys the archaeologists?" Wang Wei said looking at the three guys before him, but he suddenly rushed forward and kicked the thin man, sending that man flying.

Wang Wei bent down and picked up an intercom from the ground.

"Do nothing stupid. I asked you three a question. Answer me" he said, crushing the intercom with his hand.

"Yes! Yes! We are the archaeologists. Please don't hurt us" said the man that came from the camp scared. The other bespectacled man also nodded vigorously.

"Is it?. Take me to the professor guy you spoke about before. I will leave you guys then" Wang Wei said with no expression on his face.

After Wang Wei came to know about the Luo family only one hour before, he already developed a sense of hostility towards everyone related to that family.

"The entrance to the chambers is tiny. Only one person can enter it at a time" said the archaeologist who is wearing the glasses.

"Then you can stay here" Wang Wei hit that archaeologist at the neck and made him unconscious. He turned his head towards the other person who is trying to running away from him.

"Snort!" Wang Wei snorted, looking at the running away. Though he can catch him, Wang Wei doesn't want to waste the time because the guards who find searching for his HMG must hurry back, listening for the explosion. At most, he has 20 minutes to find the professor.

Wang Wei took out a map from the mirror world and looked at it for a minute. When Wang Wei is interrogating John, he saw a map laid out on the table John and the other guy are hiding under.

At that time he didn't care about it, but when the other guy spoke about an archaeologist, Wang Wei thought that the possibility of that archaeologist being inside the cave. So when he was speaking with Luo Shan, he discretely kept that map in the mirror world.

Wang Wei confirmed the position of chambers and instantly ran towards them. At the beginning, the cave section is extensive and Wang Wei ran freely but the deeper he went the tighter the caves became decreasing his speed.

He saw a cave entrance very small that a person can only enter it by crawling through it. Wang Wei slowly crawled through that entrance and after crawling for 10 meters, suddenly a hollow space appeared before him.

"What happened? I felt some vibration inside the chambers?" Wang Wei sawan old man who is examining the cave walls using a small device covered in dust.

"Do you know Wang Zhou?" Wang Wei asked immediately.

That old professor suddenly stopped what he is doing and looked in Wang Wei's direction.

"Why do you want to know about Wang Zhou?" that old man said, but it shocked Wang Wei to see that old man's eyes are grey.

"He is blind?" he thought

"Where is Wang Zhou?" still he asked with no hesitation

"Are you related to Wang Zhou?" that old man asked, staring blankly at Wang Wei.

"Yes" Wang Wei said plainly

"Judging from your tone, you must be around twenty years old. Are you Wang Zhou's son?" that old professor asked calmly, but it surprised Wang Wei that the old man before him guessed correctly.

"Well, whoever you are, don't search for Wang Zhou. The Luo family is not something you can fight against" he said.

"Do you know where is Wang Zhou?" asked Wang Wei again

*Sigh*

That old professor gave a loud sigh. "I don't know" he said shaking his head

"Are you close with Wang Zhou?" this time Wang Wei changed his question

"If you really care about Wang Zhou and wish for his safety, leave this place immediately. Please" that old man said, bowing towards Wang Wei.

Wang Wei became angry. He knows that the old man before him knows about his father, but for some reason he is not telling him. But soon he calmed himself down. Before he doesn't have any clue about his father, but now, he knows it is the Luo family that is behind all this. He also knows that he is not strong enough to fight with Luo family.

"Fine. But I will take whatever treasure this place is hiding. I'm not strong enough to fight Luo family now. But it is only a matter of time. The Luo family should pay the price" he said and walked past that old man deeply into those chambers.

"Good luck" said that old man and went back scanning the walls again.

Wang Wei went a few meters deep into the chambers and stopped walking. Instantly a device which looked a compass appeared in his hands. Wang Wei smiled and ran in the direction the compass is pointing at.

But surprisingly, these chambers are very long. Even after hundreds of meters, Wang Wei found nothing. It is also too dark. As the chambers are only found a few hours back, the archaeologists' group didn't explore this far.

"Genesis, is this treasure tracker malfunctioning?" he asked. Wang Wei is using the treasure tracker device he received from the task rewards by killing Hugo. Just before he heard Genesis's reply, the compass pointed towards a wall before him.

Wang Wei went towards that wall and knocked on it but he heard any hollow sounds from it but the treasure tracker is pointing at the wall. He took a few steps back and using all his strength he punched at the wall.

Instantly cracks started forming on the wall and with in fraction of seconds the whole wall collapsed before him and a huge cave section was revealed.

"This is the treasure?"
