Chapter 43: The Coffin Under the Skull Wall

  It wasn't that I was scared stiff, but because my foot was tightly grasped by a pair of hands. The pale and swollen-faced child with scars all over his face was now lying on the ground, holding onto my foot for dear life!

  The places that were caught included the thighs, and half of the body had already lost sensation. I didn't want to die here, just as I was about to pull out my gun to strike back, a sudden gunshot rang out, a strong gust of wind blew past my ear, and that kid's face suddenly became a bloody mess! He let out a sharp cry, covering his face...

  I hadn't even reacted yet, when the vicious bird roughly pulled me up from the ground, scolding me for being a burden, dropping the chain at critical moments and having to come back to rescue me...

  Although I felt suffocated, I didn't retort because my life was still in his hands at that moment. If he had thrown me down, I would have been done for! As I thought about it, a sudden heat spread across my back, and the corrosive pain instantly invaded my bones, making my consciousness blurry. All I heard was a gunshot, and then I saw Kong Yaowen's calm face.

  Again, the sound of gunfire, the evil bird had already jumped into the hole with me on its back. It's not so much a hole as a tomb, and the thieves' tunnel they dug was in the wall of this tomb, about two meters off the ground. The evil bird landed steadily.

  "Godly Hands, I really don't know why you want to save this little white face!" The evil bird threw me to the ground with a swing of its wing and asked disdainfully. Now I no longer have the strength to say anything back to it, only feeling my consciousness gradually fading away...

  "He can't die yet." The God of Medicine said calmly, then instructed the others for a moment before someone came over with a syringe and after a flurry of activity, I gradually regained sensation in my body. It seemed that I had indeed been poisoned!

  Just after I finished treating the wound, a loud explosion sound came from the tunnel, followed by the sound of falling rocks. As I looked up at the entrance, Kong suddenly jumped down and landed steadily on the ground. Although his body had several scratches, he didn't look disheveled at all. After nodding slightly to Shen, someone immediately came over to treat his wounds, with an efficiency that made me want to applaud!

  However, looking at Kong's expression, it was likely that the blood corpse had already been buried alive. Even if he managed to escape by luck, the passage had been destroyed by the explosion just now, and it would be difficult to chase after him again. Thinking of this, my heart calmed down a bit.

  I don't know what medicine they gave me, but I quickly regained consciousness, although the wound was still throbbing with pain, it didn't hinder my movement.

  With the light of the flashlight, I suddenly found that wherever the light could shine was a white skull. Suddenly, except for the ground under my feet, all three sides were walls made of skulls!

  Finally entered the tomb!

  At this time, I had long since ceased to care about any danger. The only thought in my mind was that I had finally arrived and found it! In some corner of this place, perhaps the lemon was waiting for me. Although I didn't know what secrets were hidden here, I believed that after this trip, I would gain a lot and many doubts would be resolved one by one. Although it seemed unrealistic, I had a strong premonition in my mind.

  After calming down, I found that the tomb chamber was actually a sealed one, with no door or lamp holder, only a coffin placed in the center of the tomb chamber. The black coffin had some damage and seemed to have been opened before?

  As I walked in, the coffin lid had indeed been moved halfway, and inside lay a woman, or rather, a thousand-year-old female corpse. The corpse's face was still soft and white, with delicate features, truly a classic beauty of ancient times! She lay there so peacefully, as if asleep, her black hair scattered behind her head, without any signs of decay...

  "This......" I looked at Shen Shou and the others in confusion, it seemed like they were completely uninterested? They didn't even fully open the coffin.

  "Does she have something in her mouth?" Looking at her slightly puffed up red lips, I reached out to gently pry them open and take a look, so the beauty wouldn't be uncomfortable with something stuck inside.

  "Halt!" The divine hand suddenly shouted, I was so frightened that I hastily stretched out my hand, but still a step too late. The female corpse's lips had already opened, revealing a milky white bead. This bead was entirely milky white, without any impurities, looking very smooth and must be a treasure!

  However, I didn't stupidly take it out because when I saw this bead, three words floated into my mind - Corpse Bead!

  I never thought that there really is a bead for preserving corpses in this world! I am infinitely moved, the wisdom of ancient people is truly not to be underestimated, even modern people probably can't find such a bead, let alone one that can keep a corpse from rotting for thousands of years!

  Take another look at the beauty sleeping in the coffin, she's really beautiful! At such a young age, she's already dead. Fortunately, there's this pearl, otherwise who knows what would have happened to her by now?

  "What a beauty, I wonder what she'll look like after the Corpse Bead is taken out? This Corpse Bead is a treasure, selling one might just make us set for the year!" A voice came from beside me, and when I turned my head to look, I saw that his eyes were gleaming with a sinister light, clearly wanting to do something bad.

  "Take it out and you'll definitely be the first to die!" I glared at him with extreme disdain, if he really took it out, who knows, this woman might get so angry that she'd come back from the dead for revenge! Women are very particular about their appearance after all!

  The evil bird didn't take my words to heart, instead he rubbed his palms together and with a look of eager anticipation started to lift the coffin lid. I took one glance and felt something was off, hastily stopping him and scolding: "You damn bird, you won't even spare a female corpse!"

  In my subconscious mind, I think he wants to rape... a corpse...

  "What the hell are you thinking?!" The evil bird shook off my hand, pushed the lid open and said: "Let me see if there's any clue or trea... ure... Ah!!" When it was pushed halfway, the evil bird suddenly shouted and retreated many steps, ran to the side and vomited.

  Although I was also startled by his sudden scream, I couldn't help but feel curious and took a look inside to see what could have scared the evil bird so badly.

  At a glance, my heart was as if suddenly electrocuted, and I rushed to the corner of the wall and vomited.

  Because I hadn't eaten a full meal recently, after vomiting once, I couldn't vomit anymore. When I turned back, Shen Shou and Kong Jueyan had already walked to the front of the coffin. I couldn't see Shen Shou's expression, but Kong Jueyan's tightly furrowed eyebrows made me feel extremely uneasy.

  They were both calm, but others who saw it were different and also ran to one side to vomit, which made me think of the scene I just saw again.

  A woman in white clothes, with a beautiful face, was thought to have a slender and plump figure, but unexpectedly she was pregnant! And that bulging belly was unbearable, the clothes were stained with blood, and the pregnant woman was already... had her abdomen ripped open...
