Shen Xuan held a compass in his hand. When he jumped into the underground chamber, his vision suddenly became clear. There was a crack in the rock above his head. Moonlight shone through the crack, and with the help of the moonlight, he could clearly see the outline of the cave. This cave was half the size of a stadium.
The cave was surrounded by holes like a beehive.
He was at the edge of the rock. In the middle of the cave was a thousand-year-old tree that was more than ten stories tall. The old tree had countless branches, and the branches were like countless snakes entangled together. The branches were like ghost hands that almost covered the entire tomb.
Upon closer inspection, there were countless human and animal corpses hanging from the branches. There was wind in the cave, and the corpses had already dried up. Some of the corpses that had just decayed had twisted facial features, and their bodies were bent. One could feel that the corpses were struggling in pain when they were alive.
One could clearly see a black tube connected to the snake on the corpse's head. It looked like the fruit of the tree, and there were dense bones scattered under the tree.
"Nine-Headed Snake Cypress!"
There was a corridor in the middle of the Nine-Headed Snake Cypress, and the end of the corridor was more than ten steps. The platform on the steps was like an altar, and in the center of the altar was a huge jade bed, on which two people lay.
This place was the real main tomb. If the Nine-Headed Snake Cypress was used to guard the tomb, even if thousands of people came to the tomb, they would become fertilizer for the Snake Cypress.”
If he wanted to reach the stone platform, he would have to pass through the densely packed Ghost Vines. How was he going to get there?
A memory flashed through Shen Xuan's mind. He hung a layer of rock powder on the rock with the Exorcist Blade and sprinkled it on his body. After doing all this, Shen Xuan jumped onto the corridor and walked towards the jade bed.
The rock was called Heaven's Heart Rock, and it was used to restrain the snake cypress.
As Shen Xuan walked along the corridor, the ghostly hands seemed to have a life of their own. They avoided Shen Xuan when they saw him. There were no traps along the way, so he successfully walked to the altar.
On the right side of the stone platform was a female corpse. To be exact, it was a young woman wearing a white muslin dress. There were no signs of decay on her body, and she looked peaceful as if she was sleeping. On the left was a male corpse. He was wearing a fox-faced bronze mask and rusted armor. He held a box in his hand.
When Shen Xuan looked at the male corpse wearing the fox mask, he suddenly felt dizzy. His entire world felt like it was spinning, and he fainted on the ground.
He heard footsteps coming from not far away. He felt that the footsteps were somewhat familiar, so he pretended to be unconscious so that the people behind him would let down their guard.
A man wearing a black trench coat and a bronze mask appeared in front of him. The man glanced at him and walked to his side to push him. Shen Xuan continued to pretend to be unconscious. The eyes of the man under the bronze mask were eagle eyes!
The man left Shen Xuan's hand and pressed it against the female corpse's throat. He gently patted the female corpse's mouth and spat out something that looked like a key. He then took the purple gold box from the male corpse's hand.
Immediately after, Shen Xuan heard a rustling sound, followed by a click. The man must have opened the box. Shen Xuan felt that this man did not want to harm him. He temporarily remained motionless, wanting to see what the eagle-eyed man wanted to do.
The man approached Shen Xuan again and placed a bulging object into his inner pocket.
This box was a purple-gold box.
Shen Xuan was even more confused. What did this man mean? Take the box away and put it on him as a souvenir?
Shen Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed the eagle-eyed man's arm. The eagle-eyed man reacted quickly and slashed at Shen Xuan's hand. Shen Xuan had no choice but to let go.
The eagle-eyed man jumped up like a monkey and climbed to the top of the cypress, leaving through the crack in the rock.
His speed was shockingly fast, but Shen Xuan did not chase after him. He felt that this person's skills were above his!
The female corpse on the jade bed had already rotted, and the purple gold box in the male corpse's hand was not empty.
What was that person's motive?
Why did she take the purple-gold box and put it back on him?
Or was the thing inside the purple gold box taken away?
What was that person trying to do?
Shen Xuan took out the purple-gold box. It seemed like this was a passcode box with eight card slots. There should be eight numbers as the passcode.
He suddenly remembered the string of numbers he found in an American's wallet.”
"Pa da!" The box was opened, and inside was a fish talisman." Snake Browed Copper Fish!”
Why didn't that man open the box and take the copper fish?
There was also a note in the box. On it was written in a ballpoint pen: You don't have much time left.
For him?
Why didn't she just give him a note or tell him face to face?
Why did he have to convey the message in such a complicated way?
Could it be that " time " had something to do with the purple-gold box, or the snake-browed copper fish?
Suddenly, a cry came from afar. Shen Xuan put away the Snake-Browed Copper Fish.
"Shen Xuan, save us!" Wu Xie's cry for help came from above.
Shen Xuan raised his head and saw that Fatty and Wu Xie were entangled by the Ghostly Teng and the Ghostly Hand Teng, hanging above his head. It should be that these two had been entangled by the Ghostly Teng the moment they appeared in the cave.
He took out his Hundred Exorcism Sword and jumped up to cut the Ghost Hand on Wu Xie's head to save Fatty.
Wu Xie landed on the ground with lingering fear." What is this place? Why is there such a strange feeling everywhere? How can this tree grow hands?"”
He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. There were thousands of corpses hanging on the tree.
"Run!" Fatty let out a strange cry after landing.
Shen Xuan grabbed the fatty's collar." Come closer to me."”
" I, I won't…" Before Fatty could finish his sentence, he saw Ghosthand coming to a strange stop after he got close to Shen Xuan. He hugged Shen Xuan's waist and hung onto Shen Xuan's body." Alright, I won't run!"”
This Ghostly Hand was too powerful. It was like a snake, climbing up a person's body and coiling around him. He did not expect this thing to be afraid of Shen Xuan. Fatty felt as if he had picked up a treasure.
Shen Xuan pushed Fatty away with one hand on his face and said,""There's no need to be so close. Third Master is fine.”
Fatty looked at Wu Xie, who was sitting on the ground and smiling evilly at him. He scratched his head awkwardly.
Wu Xie also saw the jade bed on the altar. She wanted to go up and check, but after taking two steps, her feet suddenly sank. The tomb bricks under her feet actually sank in, and her heart immediately turned cold. Could there be any danger?
The sound of a mechanism turning could be heard.
"The real coffin is about to appear!" Fatty said with a delighted expression.”
