Tomb Raiding Is as Perilous as the Human Heart
Book Description
True tomb raiding + mystery + treasure appraisal + giant tomb monsters + human nature. In the mysterious underground world, every tomb-raiding expedition is full of unknown dangers. I was just an ordinary young man from Northeast China. My parents died when I was little, and I grew up under my grandfather’s protection. The skills he taught me opened the door to the mysterious world of tomb raiding.
I was only eighteen when I first entered a tomb. Face-to-face with its eerie darkness and deadly mechanisms, I realized that this line of work was nothing like it seemed.

But after one tomb-raiding expedition after another, I gradually understood that the truly unpredictable and frightening thing was human nature, with all its greed and complexity. This is not just an adventure in tomb raiding, but a profound exploration of humanity.

Along the way, we faced ferocious “giant tomb monsters” and witnessed the treachery and intrigue among team members.
