7 Guardians of the Tomb Page #3

---

There were six vials.

Two broke,

and two were used.

Where are the others?

How much time does she have?

I don't know.

A single bite causes death

in under 12 hours.

And she's been bitten

three times.

And this venom...

is stronger than anything

I've ever seen.

Has anyone else been bitten?

- No.

- Mason. You good?

You knew all along. Didn't you?

Why didn't you say anything?

I had my reasons.

Did you at least tell Luke?

Did you lie to him?

Hey! Save the soap opera

for later.

Ridley, I know

I'm just a driver,

but a bag's not supposed

to do that, right?

[Jack] Yin! No, wait!

- [all shouting]

- No!

[Jack]

The GPS... it's totaled.

Our rescue mission

just got harder.

Oh, you stupid little...

Look what you've done!

[Yin speaking Chinese]

[Yin whimpering]

The light was flashing.

That's him. I know it.

[Chen] Wait.

GPS doesn't work underground.

It can if you boost the signal.

Boost it?

That's how Milly

got a reading before.

You got a strong antenna,

leave it at the entry point,

toss down a few receivers

as you go...

you don't lose your connection.

It's like a trail

of bread crumbs.

Luke found a way in...

and we have a way out.

Come on.

[Chen grunting, groaning]

[whooshing sound]

- You good?

- Yeah.

- Mason, help Milly.

- Yeah, yeah.

You got her?

Come on, Milly, we gotcha.

The signal won't last

much longer.

- Jia!

- Come on, guys.

[grunts, groans]

[Luke] I've sent you some

pictures... check it out.

Those two marks.

Are they what

I think they are?

It's too early

to confirm it now.

But it's a spider bite

for sure.

Ahh.

[gasping]

[chittering]

[Chen breathing heavily]

- [Jack] Need a breather?

- Yeah.

[Jia] Tool marks.

What were they building here?

There's a legend

of an underground tomb

built over 2,000 years ago.

But it's just a myth.

- [Milly screams]

- Milly... Milly!

I got her.

Let's keep goin'.

[Luke] Relax, Mason.

I didn't want to call

until I knew what

we were dealing with.

Hold on. Yeah.

Let me get the sat link up.

[Luke] I've never seen

anything like it.

It's just incredible...

the state of preservation.

I'll send you some pictures.

Check it out.

[Ethan]

Okay, uploading now.

[Luke] Our tests

date him from 200 BC.

But there's no sign

of mummification.

There shouldn't be

any flesh on him at all.

Well, that dating

can't be right.

- The CT scans confirm it.

- Yeah.

And now for the news

you've been waiting for.

When this man died,

he was 300 years old.

It's real.

[Milly groans]

[Milly coughing]

Ridley, over here.

[Gary] Oh, good.

I was worried there wasn't

gonna be a mass grave.

You'll be okay, Milly.

[Milly]

I'm slowing you down.

[Jia]

No, you're not.

[Chen] They were slaves.

See how their heads

are bent over their necks?

That's from chaining their heads

to their hands

so they couldn't run.

I think they were buried alive.

[distant chittering]

[Yin speaking Chinese]

[continues speaking Chinese]

She said the sound came first.

The birds stopped singing.

[Yin speaking Chinese]

[Jia] It started

in the house.

Scratching in the walls

and the floor.

[Yin continues in Chinese]

[Jia] They tried to fight back,

but there were too many.

[Chinese]

[Jia]

Then everyone was gone.

[scratching, chittering]

[Chinese]

She said it's happening again

right now.

[chittering continues]

[Luke]

Mason, hang on a second.

- What is it?

- [Mason] What's going on?

- [Ethan] You hear that too?

- What's happening?

We're gonna take a look.

[chittering]

[Ethan] Say, what was that?

Luke! Oh, my God!

Get off me!

[screaming]

[shouting, screaming]

Can we go now, please?

Milly, let's go.

[Milly groaning]

[Chen muttering]

[chittering grows louder]

[Jack] Let's keep

following this path.

[all exclaim]

What's it doing?

[Jia speaking Chinese]

Normally, they wait for

their prey to come to them.

They never hunt in packs.

But here, it seems like

they're working together.

[Jack] Come on,

let's get out of here.

Let's go. Follow me.

[chittering]

Watch your step.

[grunting]

[grunting]

The spiders behind us...

They're communicating

with the ones around us!

[Ridley]

Do funnel-webs do that?

Well, these ones sure do.

These are 2017 funnel-webs,

probably follow each other

on Twitter.

Up there.

Fall behind me.

Stay close.

They're coming! Hurry!

- Help me!

- Go, go, go, go, go!

Come on! Hurry!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Oh, waiter.

Sorry. I, uh...

I forgot to order

a river of molten lava.

You aren't helping.

Chen. Look. Gods.

Jia!

Here, Milly, just rest here.

There's no way across.

Uh...

I-I didn't mean to do that.

Gary, what'd you do?

It's a bridge.

Gary, you genius.

Good work.

Totally meant to do that.

All right, you're first.

Come on. Hurry.

Mason, you're next.

Okay.

Okay, here we go.

[crumbling]

One step at a time.

Slowly, Gary.

That's it.

Let's go.

- [speaking Chinese]

- Yeah, okay.

Gary.

- Gary! You okay?

- [gasps]

Be careful, guys.

Gotta switch it to salads.

- Watch your step.

- Easy now.

[grunts]

Good job, you guys.

Come on, we have to go.

Come on, Chen.

- Come on.

- Okay.

Come on, nice and easy.

[gasps]

Hang on!

I got you!

- [screams]

- Come on! Milly!

[Mason] It's not gonna hold

much longer.

I got her.

Hurry, Ridley!

The bridge!

[all screaming]

- Guys, hurry up!

- We have to go!

- Guys!

- Find him.

Find your brother.

Jia, come on!

[all screaming]

Jump!

- We got you!

- [grunting]

- Come on.

- [grunting]

[Mason]

Oh, my God, Milly.

[screams]

[sobbing]

- We have to help her.

- There's no way back.

Milly!

[screaming]

She's gone.

We gotta keep going.

Come on, Jia.

[chittering]

- What is this place?

- An old armory, a barracks.

Take this.

Good work, Ridley.

- That smell, what is that?

- Whale oil,

used to light the flames

of eternity.

Well, it's what I use it for.

Well done, Ridley.

The myth says

the underground was built

with traps

and secret passages

to help you

escape from death.

It'd be nice

to escape from death.

[grunts]

[sighs]

- What's she doing?

- She's scattering mugwort leaf.

It's a herb used in

ancient Chinese medicine

to resist the Five Poisons.

Five Poisons.

Forgot about those.

Spiders taste

with their feet.

Maybe there's

something in it.

She was the only one

to survive in the house.

[chittering]

Back up.

We got company.

Uh, guys,

I think we should leave.

I think they're

calling their friends.

Never knew an animal

that wasn't afraid of fire.

[grunts]

Come on, come on!

Let's go! Come on!

[all yelling]

Uh, Ridley...

Guys, get over here!

Come on, let's go!

[whimpering]

Did any get through?

None I can see.

Thought that only happened

in Scooby Doo.

Okay.

This way.

[speaking Chinese]

Mm.

Come on.

This must really be it.

The Emperor's

underground palace.

The myth.

You see, The Emperor believed

that life underground

would be a continuation

of life in the real world.
