Bronze Ending

The moment the archaeological shovel hit the bronze box, Lin Xia felt a strange tremor coming from the tiger's mouth. She squatted on the edge of the exploration square and looked at the cinnabar chips on the tip of the Luoyang shovel, glowing with a dark red luster in the twilight, like coagulated blood beads. Xiaolin, did you find anything there? Captain Chen Yan's voice came from above. The setting sun stretched his shadow very long, casting it slantingly on the rammed earth layer near M257. Just as Lin Xia was about to answer, a gust of dark wind suddenly rose from the bottom of the pit. The emergency light hanging on the bracket shook violently, casting a ferocious shadow on the rammed earth wall. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up, and the sound of tiny metallic friction rang in her ears, like countless bronze bells vibrating simultaneously in a very far distance.
