Chapter 9: The Colorful Coffin and the Blood Man

  "One, two, three!" Fang Kai counted down, "Boom" a loud noise as he fired the cannon forward, a silver-white beam instantly disappeared into the darkness, producing an ear-shattering explosion.

  At that moment, those eerie crawling sounds disappeared. With a successful strike, Fang Kai felt somewhat relieved in his heart. But before long, his face stiffened, filled with an expression of incredulity.

  The unknown snakes' crawling sounds started again, and this time they were faster, more urgent and louder. Apparently, his pulse gun had thoroughly enraged them, and now they wanted revenge on Fang Ke and the other two!

  "My god, what kind of snakes are these? They're even more ferocious than the viper!" After being hit by the pulse cannon, they didn't disintegrate into nothingness, and Fang Kai couldn't help but be shocked, thinking to himself that those things were actually so formidable.

  Just as the unknown snake was about to reveal itself, he hastily summoned Ruo Zi and the others, urgently saying: "Go back and run, leave here first." Pang Dong made an "OK" gesture to me, then turned around and rushed back without looking back. Fang Kai nodded, then pulled Ruo Zi tightly and closely followed behind Pang Dong.

  After a long and arduous journey, the three of them ran back to the fork in the road where Jormungandr had lost his arm. But just at that moment, the bird-faced man who made Fang Ke grit his teeth appeared.

  The person in the lead had a larger bird-like body, with a tongue hanging down to the ground still dripping with a few strands of blood. Fang Kai knew that it must be Joem's. These ugly things ate Joem alive!

  Thinking of this, Fang Kai couldn't help but clench his fists, wanting to give them a good beating and pay tribute to Qiao Mu's departed soul. However, Pang Dong stopped him, saying in a low voice: "These guys are too formidable, and too cunning; our weapons are simply no match for them." Pang Dong shook his head, looking utterly disheartened, and Fang Kai had never seen him so downcast before.

  At the same time, the bird-headed man's face twisted, and his long, wet tongue shot out like a cannonball towards Pong Dong. Caught off guard, Pong Dong's neck was instantly constricted. The bird-headed man increased his strength, and Pong Dong's face turned purple, clearly on the verge of suffocation. It seemed that the bird-headed man's method of killing people was roughly the same: first, he would use his tongue to hook around the person's neck, then tighten it, wait for the person to suffocate to death, and finally, with one swift motion, hook off the person's skull and devour their brain.

  Fang Kai was in a hurry, picked up the button spin laser shovel, jumped into the air, and chopped down fiercely on the tongue of the human-faced bird! A bright red gap suddenly appeared on the long tongue, the human-faced bird was in pain, rolled back its tongue, and Pang Dong was saved instantly.

  Before they could even rejoice, the rest of the people-faced birds stretched out their long tongues, wanting to capture the three in one net. Seeing the situation was critical, Ruo Zi picked up the Pulse Cannon and fired a shot at the people-faced bird. "Run!" In this situation, Ruo Zi was still able to remain calm and give orders, it can be said that she was not inferior to men.

  Fang Kai and Pang Dong nodded and followed suit.

  Fang Kai didn't know what they would face when they went back, or whether they could survive, but he was clear that if they didn't leave now, they would definitely be torn apart by the crowd!

  Because of a past lesson, the human-faced bird was not afraid of the pulse cannon either. But what's important is that the three escaped, which for the leader of the human-faced birds, was undoubtedly a great shame. Only to see it let out a mournful cry, then led the remaining human-faced birds in a tight pursuit after the three. With ambushes ahead and pursuers behind, it's truly hard to escape death!

  Fang Kai ran wildly while firing pulse cannons behind him to block the Birdmen. Suddenly, Pang Dong stopped, and Fang Kai couldn't stop in time, colliding with Pang Dong's sturdy back.

  "Chubby, you..." He hadn't finished speaking when Ruo Zi pointed her finger to her lips and whispered, "Kai Zi, look." Following the direction of Ruo Zi's arm, he saw an unbelievable scene.

  At the edge of the illuminated area, a number of black double-headed pythons emerged. The pythons were stout and jet-black, with only their eyes being red, looking very eerie. But that was not all, what shocked Fang Ke was that on the bodies of these densely packed black pythons, there was actually a colorful coffin with carvings of Hu Fu and his concubine standing on it!

  The small, exquisite coffin seemed to have only one layer, but the colorful patterns painted on it were extremely delicate, with lifelike human figures that exuded an air of ancient Egyptian religious mystery. Dong was stunned, blurting out: "Damn, how can this coffin be so beautiful?" Dong swallowed hard, thinking to himself that if he could bring these earthly antiques back to Mars, he would live a life of luxury and ease.

  In the face of great temptation, a person's greedy heart will always be stirred up. Bai Dong is just such a person. He clenched his fists and rubbed his palms, looking like he was about to snatch the treasure coffin away. Seeing this, Fang Kai hastily pressed him down: "Bai Zi, are you tired of living?! That thing looks evil at first glance, do you still want to touch it?!"

  He didn't care, he shook off Fang Kai's hand and walked towards the coffin. At this moment, Ruo Zi suddenly exclaimed. Fang Kai was stunned, his eyes moved to the coffin. The front panel of the coffin with the inscription fell heavily on Fat Dong's feet. Fat Dong hesitated, subconsciously took a step back.

  In the midst of the three people's shocked expressions, a bloody figure emerged from the colorful coffin!

  The blood-covered man looked like a person who had been skinned alive to Fang Kai. Upon closer inspection, the blood-covered man's eyes were blind and his left arm was severed, for some reason, a wave of inexplicable familiarity surged up in his heart. Wait, no left arm... could it be...?! Thinking of a certain possibility, Fang Kai widened his eyes.

  However, just as he was about to call out the name, the human-faced bird caught up! Ruo Zi and Pang Dong walked to Fang Kai's side, Pang Dong took over the pulse gun and shouted: "Kai-zi, what do we do now?" What to do, I don't know what to do either, my mind is very confused right now: Qiao Mu Si didn't die, but why was he skinned and blinded? And why did he appear in the colorful coffin? Where did the colorful coffin come from, and how did it end up being carried by a group of two-headed abdominal pythons?

  "Ke Zi!" Seeing Fang Ke standing there stupidly, Pang Dong got a bit angry and his tone became much heavier. Fang Ke came back to himself and saw Ruo Zi staring at the bloody man with a complicated expression.

  Time was running out, and the Bird-Faced Men were closing in. Fat Dong spat on the ground, raised his Pulse Cannon, and prepared to blast them away. But for some reason, the Bird-Faced Men seemed to have taken some kind of stimulant, their speed increasing dramatically. Fat Dong couldn't see clearly for a moment, so he fired randomly. A silver light flashed across the tomb path, exploding at the corner of the turning wall.

  The bird with a human face was unharmed.

  Pang Dong swallowed hard, while Fang Kai's heart sank: this was not good, Pangzi was going to be beaten to death. But what surprised them was that the human-faced bird seemed to ignore them and pounced on the blood man instead.

  "What's going on?" Fat Dong scratched his head, but a look of relief appeared on his face. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and if the Bird-Faced Man wanted to kill him, he would have been dead by now.

  Disaster shifts east, Pang Dong looks a bit happy, in his view, it's best for the human-faced bird to perish with the Blood Man and the Double-Headed Abdominal Python, so we'll be safe. But Fang Kai can't get excited at all. Because he knows that the Blood Man is actually Qiao Mu Si!!

  This time, he won't back down! Fang Kai held the button-activated laser shovel and sprinted towards the Blood Man at a speed of 100 meters per second, fighting side by side with him. Ruò Zǐ nodded silently and followed closely behind, Fang Kai was silent, indeed nothing could be hidden from Ruò Zǐ. Apparently, she also knew that the Blood Man was actually Qióu Mǔsī.

  "Hey, are you guys crazy?!" Seeing the two of them recklessly charging towards the bird with their shovels, Pang Dong let out a bitter laugh and followed after them with a long face. The scene before him seemed to have returned to how it was in the beginning. But Fang Kai knew that everything had changed.

  But what's the point? The most important thing is that the four of them can still face their enemies together!

  But things are always developing in unexpected ways, and now the situation has changed again.

  The bird-like creatures accelerated again, so fast that Fang Ke and the others couldn't stop them. They flew to Qiao Mu's head in an instant, hanging down their long tongues, wanting to thoroughly devour this tiny human being.

  Three people watched with bated breath, but Jorms seemed very calm, standing still on the spot, not afraid of the bird at all. Fang Kai was about to lend a hand when the colorful coffin suddenly underwent a strange change!

  Only the colorful paintings that were originally stuck to the surface of the coffin floated up, and then the figures on the painting, namely the pharaoh and the queen's images, actually "walked" out of the painting. They traversed time and space, standing in front of Ren Jianping. Fang Kai and the other two were stunned, looking at each other in dismay. Could it be that they had inadvertently opened Pandora's box?!
