Zombie?
Fatty said.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Third Uncle acted the fastest. He had been in the tomb for many years and knew the consequences of a corpse moving. Especially this Green-Eyed Fox corpse, it had not decayed for a thousand years and was extremely dangerous.
Almost subconsciously.
He took out a dark purple bead from somewhere.
"Corpse Sealing Pearl?"
The young man, who was usually taciturn, could not help but be a little surprised when he saw it.
"Corpse Sealing Pearl?"
Wang Cheng frowned.
It was an unfamiliar name.
But when he looked around, everyone, including Da Xi, seemed to recognize him. Their expressions were extremely solemn.
"This is something that the old Taoist masters of the Maoshan Sect made. It's specially used to restrain corpses.”
Seeing his curious face.
Fatty, who was the closest, explained quickly in a low voice.
At the same time, he sighed with emotion." As far as I know, the refining process of this thing is extremely difficult, so it's extremely rare. He had only heard of it before. He did not expect to be lucky enough to see one today.”
Wang Cheng finally understood.
He was still too inexperienced. It sounded like a rural legend.
"Da Xi, Hua Zi, do it, hold that guy down.”
Third Uncle shouted coldly.
Hearing this, Da Xi and Hua Zi were about to rush forward.
However, just as it took a step forward, it was stopped by an outstretched hand." There's no death aura on its body!”
"What do you mean?" " You're not dead yet?" The beggar was stunned.”
"It's a sign of a corpse coming back to life. There's no obvious death aura on its body.”
The young man shook his head.
Then, he walked forward and pressed two fingers on the shoulder of the Green-eyed Fox corpse. With a gentle push, the corpse immediately fell down.
"This isn't a corpse. It's just that I accidentally triggered a mechanism.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Fatty with an unfriendly expression. His meaning was obvious.
"What are you looking at? Isn't Lord Fatty also concerned about your Little Third Master?”
"Idiot, why are you still pretending to be a gold-looting captain?”
"Who are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about you. The gold-looting sect has lost all their face because of you.”
Upon hearing this, Fatty exploded." What a joke. I'm a legitimate descendant of a gold mine. I'm not like you local masters who learn to move mountains and touch gold. In the end, you don't look like anything.”
"Stop arguing."
It seemed like the two of them would fight when they met.
Wu Xie's face sank as he coldly shouted.
"The two of them are almost eighty years old. Why are you still so childish?”
The two of them looked at each other after being angered by Little Third Master. Fortunately, neither of them continued. He turned to look at Third Uncle and Little Brother." I just realized that there seems to be a key in this female corpse's mouth.”
"Key?"
Hearing his words.
The few of them subconsciously looked at each other.
Third Uncle, in particular, had a puzzled look in his eyes.
The most important thing in the tomb was the giant bronze coffin under the cypress tree. Lightning flashed in his mind as he kept replaying everything he had seen before.
Unfortunately, he didn't see anything that required the key.
This thought flashed through his mind and was quickly put away by Third Uncle.
Following the direction of Wu Xie's finger, with the help of the light, the female corpse's mouth indeed looked like it had a key in it.
The style was extremely simple.
"It really is."
Third Uncle frowned.
He knew that the ancients had a saying about keeping pearls in their mouths to prevent corrosion, but this was the first time he had seen a key in their mouths.
"Third Master, could the key be used to open this purple gold box?”
With her sharp eyes, she noticed that the green-eyed fox corpse was holding a purple-gold box when everyone's attention was on the female corpse.
There was also a small keyhole on the outside of the box!
"I'm afraid so."
Third Uncle nodded.
For some reason, he subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.
"This purple-gold jade box looks valuable. Third Master, I'll take the key too.”
The viper was eager to try.
However, before he could finish speaking, he was mercilessly rejected by Little Third Master.
"Let me do it."
He carefully reached out his hand and put two fingers under the female corpse's tongue. Soon, he touched the key and pinched it with two fingers, using a little strength.
Soon, he realized that something was wrong.
There was resistance behind the key.
Looking down, Wu Xie's expression changed slightly. There was a golden thread as thin as a hair attached to the back of the key. If he didn't look carefully, he might have missed it.
When he saw the golden thread, he suddenly remembered that his grandfather had mentioned it to him when he was young.
In order to prevent grave robbers from stealing treasures, the ancients would use golden threads to wrap the corpses and install crossbows into them.
As long as the treasure was taken out, the crossbow would be activated instantly.
The arrow shot out and killed the grave robber.
There was no way to avoid it.
Thinking of this, Wu Xie subconsciously looked at the female corpse's abdomen. Sure enough, there was something wrong. There seemed to be something hidden inside.
He couldn't help but rejoice.
Fortunately, he didn't let Da Xi do it just now. Otherwise, with his extravagant personality, he would have been shot into a porcupine by now.
"The golden threads can only be pulled outwards.”
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Wang Cheng reminded him.
Hearing his words, Wu Xie's eyes lit up. He reached out and pinched the golden thread. The golden thread immediately broke, but the crossbow under the female corpse's abdomen did not move.
"I took it out."
Holding the key in his hand, Wu Xie couldn't care less about disgust.
He quickly took the purple-gold jade box and compared it with the keyhole. It was indeed the same size.
"F * ck, what's with this corpse?”
Before he could recover from his excitement, the runner suddenly cried out in surprise. As if he had seen something extremely terrifying, he subconsciously took a few steps back.
Wu Xie looked up.
The corpse that was still alive a moment ago.
At this moment, it suddenly became ferocious and then rotted…like a pile of ashes, leaving only dry bones.
