As he thought about it, Chen Feng gradually pressed down according to the rules of checking the burial items. At the same time, when he was checking the situation under the female corpse's clothes, he also noticed something unbelievable.
This female corpse was actually a dried corpse that had not decayed for a hundred years?!
That's right!
Chen Feng pressed down carefully. He realized that although the female corpse's skin had dried up, it had not rotted.
Not only that, the flesh of the female corpse seemed to have been preserved. It was stuck to the bones like bacon. After sensing this, Chen Feng was even more convinced of his previous guess.
It seemed that the corpse had been embalmed before being buried.
Moreover, it was very likely that he had done it while he was alive…
However, there were usually two types of methods in ancient times.
One was to use cinnabar to paint the entire body of the corpse. Using the toxicity of cinnabar to expel the water in the body, the corpse could be preserved for a long time.
The second method was to directly throw corpses or living people into the lime water.
The lime water had a strong effect of air-drying. If the corpse was completely soaked, it would be enough to dry the water and prevent the corpse from rotting for a hundred years.
However, he did not know what kind of situation this female corpse was in.
Thinking about it carefully, Chen Feng felt that the latter was more likely…
Wait!
At this moment, Chen Feng suddenly realized that there seemed to be something on the female corpse's shoulder. When his hand touched it, he felt something sharp and hard.
What was it?
Sensing that something was amiss, Chen Feng carefully lifted the female corpse's shoulder. However, when he saw the situation under his clothes, Chen Feng could not help but gasp.
Hiss!
There was a needle as thick as a finger nailed to the female corpse's shoulder.
The steel needles pierced through her body and pinned her to the wooden board.
Chen Feng felt a chill run down his spine when he saw this scene. However, he immediately sensed that something was wrong. In order to verify his guess, he immediately touched the other parts of the female corpse.
This was fine, but Chen Feng immediately discovered a hair-raising fact.
The female corpse's shoulders, elbows, neck, and even legs were nailed with the same steel needles.
It looked like this female corpse had been nailed to the coffin's wooden board!
Sensing this, Chen Feng could not help but take a step back.
Gulp!
Chen Feng swallowed his saliva and finally understood what was going on.
Just now, he had already felt that it was strange. This female corpse was actually half a head taller than him. Now, he understood that this corpse had been nailed in the air.
At the thought of this, Chen Feng felt a chill run down his spine.
This was because Chen Feng suddenly thought of an unimaginable possibility. That was, looking at the steel needles on this female corpse, it was obvious that they were used to nail living people to death.
In that case, his guess was true?
This female corpse was not only soaked in lime water when she was alive. Moreover, it was possible that he was nailed to death in the coffin by a few steel needles while he was still struggling.
However, this kind of inhumane burial method seemed to be used to punish criminals.
In that case, did this female corpse commit a great crime when she was alive?
But thinking about it, it made sense!
If that was not the case, then the Nine Dragon Shield Jade Lotus outside did not make sense.
But if this was true, then what kind of crime did this female corpse commit when she was alive?
Chen Feng broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of this.
However, although he was a little afraid, Chen Feng still had to continue with his work.
After all, it was not easy for him to find a coffin. Although it might be a burial tomb, there should be some burial items in the coffin.
With this in mind, Chen Feng continued with what he was doing.
But regrettably, this time, he had clearly returned in defeat. Chen Feng carefully searched through the body and found that the female corpse only had a robe on her body. Other than that, she did not have any other jewelry.
Even this robe was already in tatters.
"This…"
Realizing this, Chen Feng felt a little regretful.
Could it be that he had finally found the Burial Tomb and was going to return empty-handed?
Wait a minute...
Just as he thought of this, Chen Feng suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the black metal mask on the female corpse's face.
Chen Feng's interest was piqued when he saw this.
According to him, there were many corpses in the tomb, and they would wear a metal mask after burial.
Some were copper, some were silver.
It seemed that the mask on the female corpse's face was the same.
However, the only difference was that the mask on the female corpse's face was black rust. If it was a brass mask, it should be a green embroidered mask.
With the knowledge transmitted by the system, Chen Feng could tell how precious the mask was at a glance.
According to the introduction in the system knowledge, the ancients did not know how to prevent rust on metals. Therefore, some old and precious metals would rust.
However, iron produced red rust and copper produced green embroidery.
As for the black rust, there were only two types of metals, either silver or gold!
In short, as long as it had black rust, it was a precious metal!
At the thought of this, Chen Feng could not help but take out his dagger. Then, he carefully scratched the female corpse's mask.
Creak ~ Creak!
As the black rust continued to fall off, Chen Feng scraped out a gap the size of a fingernail.
Then, when he let go of his hand and shone the flashlight over, Chen Feng could not take his eyes off him.
The fingernail-sized gap actually reflected a yellow-orange color under the light.
It was gold!
That's right, it was definitely gold!
Chen Feng could tell at a glance that this was 100% gold. If that was the case, then this entire mask was made of gold?
Realizing this, the frustration in Chen Feng's heart was almost swept away!
Looking at the size of the mask, although it was relatively thin, it should weigh at least seven to eight pounds.
"I'm going to be rich!"
Realizing this, Chen Feng could not take his eyes off her.
