Chapter Fifteen: Under the Crystal Coffin

  Fang Kai nodded, then quickly told everything he had just seen. He urged: "Time is running out, Joems, you must assist me with all your might." After that, Fang Kai laid out his entire plan. Joems' face turned whiter and whiter, his eyebrows furrowing deeper and deeper.

  "No, it's too dangerous, if you still need me, let me go." Jomus shook his head repeatedly, refusing to agree to let Fang Kai take the risk. However, Fang Kai just smiled.

  He pulled out a pulse gun from his multi-dimensional bag, took a deep breath and said to himself: "Although I'm the captain, every time we carry out a mission, it's you and Fat Dong who are in the front line, while I can only stand behind and watch your backs as you fight to the death. I know that you're all doing this for my sake, after all, I have a marriage contract with Ruo Zi. But this time, I want to try... even if it means dying unfortunately. Rather than living in hiding, it's better to die gloriously in battle, and if Ruo Zi sees me, she'll definitely be delighted too."

  Fang Kai smiled easily and turned around, but was pulled back by Qiao Mu Si. Fang Kai turned his head back, revealing a wry smile: As expected, you still won't agree!

  Qiao Mu didn't speak but stared at Fang Kai's eyes. After a long while, he finally let out a deep breath and the hand that was tightly grasping Fang Kai's relaxed.

  Fang Kai was taken aback, unable to speak for a moment. Qiao Mu smiled and hugged Fang Kai tightly. He patted Fang Kai's back and whispered, "Come back soon." At this moment, Fang Kai felt that no other words could compare to this familiar and intimate "command".

  Fang Kai nodded, securing the pulse cannon to a point and putting on his helmet. He made a gesture to Jorms, who understood, and rhythmically pressed several buttons on the password panel of the pulse cannon. Suddenly, a silver bullet shot out in a flash of white light, rather than a beam. Seizing the opportunity, Fang Kai kicked upwards with force and actually hugged the bullet!

  "Good!" Chom's clenched his fist, this plan was half successful.

  The silver-white shell shot up and down, slanting upwards. Fang Kai hugged the shell, still dodging the black pillar's sweep. "Close, just a little more!" Fang Kai's heart was racing, the red mark seemingly within reach. However, at this moment, a black pillar heavily struck the shell.

  The indestructible pulse cannon shell suddenly opened a hole, and the impact force was destroyed by more than half. With Fang Ke's weight on it, it was now on the verge of collapse. "Ah, no..." Fang Ke's eyes widened in alarm as he hastily pulled his feet back, and a slightly thinner black column swept past the soles of his shoes, melting away the bottom of his shoes.

  In front of the mysterious black pillar, titanium fiber shoes are just a decoration!

  It was also because of this sudden event that the shell Fang Kai was holding finally couldn't withstand the pressure and was about to fall. At this critical moment, Qiao Mu took out the button spin laser shovel! He swung it upwards with force, and the laser shovel spun under Fang Kai's feet at a speed as fast as lightning.

  Feeling the solidity under his feet, Fang Kai immediately abandoned the pulse bomb. Next, the laser shovel carrying Fang Kai sped towards the red mark.

  "Whoa!" A loud shout, and Fang Kai arrived in front of the red mark. He took a closer look, he really saw it! It was actually...!! Fang Kai's face turned pale, originally, the red mark was actually the Eye of Horus that had been seen on the stone archway and the body of the Worm King!

  But unlike the previous pattern, the pupil of Horus' eye seen this time was not blood red, but had a metallic luster!

  "This is the core of the mechanism!" Fang Kai suddenly came to his senses, bent down and picked up the laser shovel that was under his feet. Down below, Qiao Mu didn't know what was happening, only seeing the laser shovel being suddenly grasped by Fang Kai, while Fang Kai's entire body suddenly plummeted downwards. "Oh no!" Qiao Mu wailed, but it was too late to save Fang Kai.

  But just at this moment, he saw a sharp laser beam shooting out from the tip of the shovel - target, red mark!

  "Boom..." The explosive sound of the explosion shook the entire stone pit, and the large pale green light membrane suddenly stopped attacking. The black pillars retracted back into the light membrane, turning back into black dots. At the same time, the light membrane continued to shrink, finally leaving only a red mark - Horus's Eye.

  Fang Kai slightly arched his back, sticking the laser to his back to reduce the impact of the fall. "Bang." As expected, a human-shaped indentation appeared on the surface of the stone pit.

  "Kai!" Chomps reacted, hastily running to the side of the humanoid recess. "Kai, are you okay?!" Chomps pulled out Fang Kai, only to see that his back was oozing blood, his helmet dented at an angle, and the laser shovel on the ground had several cracks on it.

  It's clear that this impact is quite considerable!

  Under the constant shaking of Jom's, Fang Kai slowly came to. He coughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground, his face twisted in pain.

  "Kai, I'll help you with your injuries." Chomps didn't say another word, taking out some medicine and an injector from the multi-purpose medical kit. He applied ointment and gave injections, finally alleviating Fang Kai's pain. "Great warrior, please rest for a while!" Chomps carefully picked up the things that had fallen to the ground, including the cracked laser shovel, then gently lifted Fang Kai into his arms.

  Fang Kai nodded and closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep in Qiu Mu's arms.

  Chomsky sighed and turned around, but saw an incredible scene.

  Only to see the eye of Horus suspended in mid-air slowly descending, and finally fell into the center of the giant whirlpool. Immediately afterwards, Jormungandr suddenly saw that the iron-armored mummies had stopped moving, stiffening on the ground.

  Fat Dong, who was fighting the mummies, suddenly went blank and couldn't help but curl his mouth into a smile. He held the laser shovel and jumped in front of a mummy. "Hmph, you're not very arrogant? Let me make you arrogant, old man will make you arrogant, hahaha..." Fat Dong laughed loudly while raising the shovel and continuously slapping it on the mummy's face.

  These white monsters are too powerful, just now when fighting with them, Fat Dong can only dodge constantly, and the depression that has been accumulated in his stomach is finally released.

  "Hahaha...". Amidst the hearty laughter of Pang Dong, metal mummy heads fell to the edge of the stone pit, rolled into the center, making "gurgling" sounds.

  But in the next moment, he had no chance to vent his anger on these mummies.

  In the stunned expression of Fat Dong, the large whirlpool on the crystal coffin suddenly stood up, and then all the iron armor mummies, as well as the skulls that had fallen to the ground, were rolled back into the whirlpool. This whirlpool was clearly sizeable, but it was like a bottomless pit. It was just unknown why he, Fang Kai, and Qiao Masi's three people were not sucked in.

  After absorbing the mummy, the huge vortex continued to condense and finally disappeared. "This..." Fat Dong pointed stupidly at the place where the vortex had disappeared, his face full of surprise.

  "What's going on, Jom? Ah, Fang Kei!" Fat Dong rushed to Jom's side, spitting stars everywhere, and happened to see Fang Kei sleeping in Jom's arms. Fang Kei's clothes were tattered, his helmet was dented at an angle, and Fat Dong suddenly realized that something might have happened to him.

  Thinking of this, Bao Dong pulled at Jormung's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Is Ke Zi...alright?"

  Jorms shook his head, glanced at Fang Ke, and said: "Great warriors need rest, no more words, you see." Halfway through, Jorms pointed to the crystal coffin with his hand. Pang Dong was taken aback and turned his head away.

  Originally, before the whirlpool was lifted, the three people saw that under the crystal coffin was a dark and chaotic place. Now that the whirlpool is gone, the chaos is gradually taking shape, and it turns out to be a staircase made of unknown black stone! The staircase is not straight, but curved, somewhat like a spiral shape, but it rises and falls continuously, very unique.

  What astonished Pong and Joms even more was that, apart from the staircase being "visible", everywhere else remained a deep, dark ink, as if hiding some unspeakable secret.

  Is it a monster? A curse? Or is it an unacceptable fact?

  "Go, take a look." Qiaomu nudged Pang Dong with his shoulder and then carried Fang Kai down the stairs. Pang Dong was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he hurriedly followed. "Hey, wait for me... Damn it, these stairs are really steep! Qiaomu, be careful, Fang Kai is still in your arms! Hey..."
