Ghost Coffin

  "Are you two done? The red-haired one is gone."

  Hai Chen and Liao Dongfeng looked at the water pool simultaneously after listening, then the two of them quickly separated, each holding a shovel with their backs against each other, paying attention to the surrounding movements.

  Feng Le Tian was also fiddling with the compass at this time, using it to determine their current direction. He then said: "Dong Zi, we are less than 200 meters away from the Earth Temple."

  Tang Yuan had been silent all along because he was unfamiliar with these people and there was nothing to say, but at this moment he suddenly said: "Captain, our supplies are gone."

  This news is something that everyone has been reluctant to mention, not because they didn't know about it, but because they all knew the importance of supplies. Although the supplies are gone now, fortunately, everyone is safe and sound, which is already a blessing in disguise.

  Liao Dongfeng and Hai Chen were on the lookout for a while, but didn't find any trace of Hong Ma Dazongzi. They slowly put down their engineer shovels. Feng Le Tian walked up to Liao Dongfeng at this time and told him again about the 200-meter difference in the palace grounds, then asked him to decide whether to leave or stay.

  In the intangible, Liao Dongfeng became the core of this expedition team. His means, wisdom and courage made everyone admire him very much. Feng Leitian deliberately gave up the position of captain not because he was incompetent, but because Liao Dongfeng himself was too excellent.

  When everyone's attention was focused on Liao Dongfeng, he calmly distributed the tasks: "I and the captain will lead the way in front, Hai Chen, Liang Tao, Tang Yuan Chao in the middle, Junzi you cover the rear. From now on, we need to keep an eye out in all directions and listen carefully for any unusual movements. As soon as we detect anything suspicious, notify everyone immediately." After finishing speaking, he let out a deep breath and muttered to himself: "200 meters, although it's not too long, but who knows what else is waiting for us up ahead?"

  Rumble! Before they even moved, two loud explosions were heard from the direction of the breach, and everyone almost simultaneously turned their heads to look.

  Only two bronze coffins fell outside the fire scene, while inside the fire scene, a strange and terrifying cry suddenly came out. The cry was extremely frightening, and Liao Dongfeng's intuition told him that the cry was made by Hong Mao Dazongzi. It had returned to the fire scene unnoticed, with a determination to die, and rescued the two bronze coffins. So what exactly were hidden inside these two bronze coffins?

  Won't it be two big dumplings again?

  At this time, Peng Jianjun held the rifle tightly in his hand and slowly walked towards the two copper coffins. He then used the gun butt to knock a few times, seeing that there was no movement inside the coffin, he put his ear close to the coffin to listen. After that, he tilted his head back and said to Liao Dongfeng: "Dongzi, I guess that red hair must be desperate for wealth, these two coffins must hide some treasure, let's open them up and take a look?"

  Liao Dongfeng listened and immediately replied: "I think so too, or else you can show it to everyone?"

  Peng Jianjun's face sank after listening, and he said: "Dongzi, you're not being serious! Don't always tease me for no reason, okay?"

  "It's not that I want to tease you, but you're always getting into trouble. Do you know why copper coffins are used? Listen carefully, copper coffins are specially made to absolutely prevent the corpse from decaying and causing harm. They are cast in one piece, with no openings or gaps, unless we have an electric saw or cutting machine now, it's impossible to open them with brute force alone."

  Upon hearing his own loss of composure, Peng Jianjun immediately changed the subject: "Right, Tie Shu's coffin is still at the scene of the fire! Something that valuable must have been damaged."

  "Never mind these things, let's hurry up and leave this place."

  Liao Dongfeng's tone was extremely stiff because he knew that there must be something even more evil inside the copper coffin.

  Why did he say that? Because when he looked at the copper coffin, his eyes were as surprised as when he saw the ghost face lantern. The carvings on the coffin were all kinds of messy ghost faces, and the shell of the ghost face lantern was also like this. Unconsciously, he regarded the two coffins and the ghost face lantern as the same thing, with no tricks at all that could not be opened, but after opening them, they would definitely make you regret it.

  Hai Chen looked at Liao Dongfeng, who had a puzzled expression on his face, as if he knew what the other was thinking. He then put his hand on Liao's shoulder and said, "Alright, we should go." After that, he took the lead and walked away with big strides.

  As they moved further and further away from the fire scene, the surrounding space gradually darkened, to the point where they had to use flashlights to see the road clearly. The six of them walked along a gentle slope, and then Liao Dongfeng shone his flashlight into the distance, revealing that the ground ahead was extremely flat and made of stone bricks. He slowly moved the beam of light down to the ground, carefully examining the stones beneath their feet. After a moment, he warned, "There's something wrong with the brick road. Be careful, follow me, and don't step on anything incorrectly."

  "Are you trying to scare me?"

  Peng Jianjun had just finished speaking when Liao Dongfeng turned around and glared at him, then carelessly tossed the flashlight away. As soon as it hit the ground far away, a hissing sound echoed through the darkness all around. When they looked again, the stone brick was already covered with arrows, numbering no less than one hundred. Peng Jianjun saw this and didn't say another word. Liao Dongfeng turned around to look at him once more, but quickly shifted his gaze away from him.

  "What's going on? How did they catch up?"
