Under the unyielding efforts of Tom and his companions, the hefty stone gate was finally pushed open to create a gap wide enough for four people to pass through. Noticing the gap was large enough, Fang Xiaocao immediately spoke up, "That's enough, we can stop now."
Hearing Fang Xiaocao's words, Tom and the others felt a huge relief and immediately stopped pushing.
This stone gate, conservatively estimated to weigh a thousand pounds, had them using every bit of strength they could muster, even down to their last breath.
"Let's go in!" Xiaocao said, and prepared to enter the General's Tomb through the crack in the door.
Fang Xiaocao took a step forward, intending to enter the General's Tomb.
Tom, standing nearby, was startled.
He quickly reached out and grabbed Fang Xiaocao.
"Princess Your Highness, please wait a moment."
Caught by Tom, Fang Xiaocao was taken aback.
She turned her head, looking puzzled at Tom, "What's wrong?"
