Chapter 28: Revisiting the Stone Gate Seeking Collection

  Just as I was observing the strange pattern on the stone gate, my left hand covering my mouth and nose suddenly twisted open, opened my mouth to let out a sneeze, and instantly a hot air came out.

  Just as I had just covered my mouth and nose with my left hand, the faint footsteps behind me suddenly rang out again. I felt like my whole clothes were soaked through. Just a moment ago, I had just escaped from that corpse, but now, because of a single sneeze, I had exposed myself again and attracted the corpse to come over. This made me feel like everything I had done before was in vain.

  Danger is imminent, since **the secret has been leaked**, I don't need to restrain myself from holding my breath anymore. I took a deep breath and turned back to look at what was behind me. All I saw was the corpse quickly walking towards me with a speed that was two or three times faster than a normal human walk.

  As I watched the corpse approaching me, getting closer and closer, the ominous aura growing thicker, I glanced at the stone gate in front of me with its strange pattern, and suddenly raised my ancient sword to strike it, hoping to smash the gate and escape.

  But just as the ancient sword was about to touch the stone gate, I didn't feel the expected resistance. Instead, the ancient sword pierced through the stone gate in front of me, as if it had stabbed into the air. The stone gate did not show any signs of damage, but only a ripple like water appeared on its surface.

  What's going on? Everything happening before my eyes is making me extremely surprised, I've never seen anything like this.

  The faint footsteps behind me didn't allow me to think much, the distance between the corpse and me was getting closer and closer, it would be by my side in just a few seconds. I didn't think much either, I took a deep breath, drew out the ancient sword with my right hand, and once again fiercely chopped at the stone gate, while pulling ** towards the stone gate with my left hand.

  I thought this time I would neatly shatter the stone gate and, with the momentum, directly enter what's behind it. But what I never expected was that at the moment the ancient sword touched the stone gate, just like before, it seemed as if the sword had stabbed into thin air, failing to shatter the stone gate, yet somehow I managed to pull myself through the stone gate.

  At the moment when the ancient sword did not shatter the stone gate, I thought I would crash into the stone gate, but I never expected to pass through it. This made me feel extremely surprised, and the faint footsteps behind me also disappeared, and my heart, which had been raised to my throat, finally relaxed.

  Since I can pass through the stone gate, then the corpse must also be able to pass through the stone gate. Thinking of this, my relaxed heart once again rose to my throat, and I stared at the stone gate with a death grip. If there was even a hint of abnormality, I would definitely pull myself together and run forward desperately.

  One second, two seconds, one minute, two minutes. Originally, at the speed we were walking before, it would not have taken more than ten seconds to catch up with us. But now, about five minutes have passed, and that corpse has not come out from behind the stone gate, nor has the faint sound of footsteps been heard.

  Could the corpse not pass through? Thinking of this, I decided to try it out. Immediately, I placed ** on the ground and leaned **'s body against the stone wall beside me. With my right hand, I raised the ancient sword and slowly brought it into contact with the stone door. However, this time the ancient sword and the stone door reacted completely beyond my expectations. The obvious resistance completely negated my previous idea. The ancient sword did not pass through the stone door as I had expected, but instead was stuck to the stone door.

  Is this door only for entering and not exiting? Immediately, I knocked on the stone gate with my hand again, but there was no sound from the other side of the stone gate. Since it's impossible to pass through, then I can rest assured.

  To know that in the tomb raid, the grave robbers are most afraid of encountering zongzi, and having a complete corpse inside the zongzi is an existence that everyone avoids. Without a complete corpse, the safety of the grave robbers themselves has greatly increased.

  I put the ancient sword by my side, looked at the two arms that had been scratched, and found that the scratched places had already turned purple. At the edge of the wound, blackness also appeared. At this time, I didn't even have any medical equipment on hand, let alone know how to treat it.

  According to what Grandpa said, when his friend was scratched by the zombie and died after only seven hours, he felt that he couldn't hold on any longer and killed himself. At this time, being scratched by a zombie should be less than an hour, in order to make it last a little longer, trying to get treatment when going out, I followed Grandpa's method and tore the clothes inside me, using cloth to tie up the two arms that were scratched, temporarily preventing the spread of zombie poison. However, before that, a small amount of zombie poison had spread through my blood and there was nothing I could do about it.

  It's probably the effect of pain, **after waking up from a coma**, his complexion is extremely poor, just like the vampire in Western churches, his face is very pale.

  Knitted his brow "Xiao Ke, where are we now?" As soon as he finished speaking, he had a violent coughing fit, and his whole body shook violently with each cough.

  Looking at the scene in front of me, I secretly sighed, if only I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come to fight, and if I hadn't come to fight, all these things wouldn't have happened. Now that they've happened, I'm also a bit regretful. Previously, killing that snow monster greatly inflated my confidence, but the snow monster is one thing, and the Corpse Refiner is another, completely different concepts. Being grabbed by the snow monster at most would result in skin splitting and flesh bursting open, whereas being grabbed by the Corpse Refiner not only results in skin splitting and flesh bursting open, but also has corpse poison in the blood. If I don't receive treatment within a limited time, the final outcome will be either becoming a rice ball or committing suicide.

  Before entering, I didn't observe this place at all, my mind was completely on the corpse and **'s body. At this time, the corpse couldn't enter, and ** woke up. I involuntarily shifted my attention to observe the place where I was waiting.

  At this time, I and ** were in a place that should have been used to place funeral objects at the time of burial. There were wooden boxes piled up on the ground, and inside this stone room there were three stone gates carved with strange patterns. The leftmost and rightmost stone gates were respectively on the two oblique corners, while the middle gate was in the center.

  "We should now be in the stone chamber specifically used for burial goods at the time of burial, but I'm not sure." I said, sitting on the ground after observing all the things around.
