"I remember that in ancient tombs, coffins usually don't need steel nails. Instead, he would choose a special glue mixed with cinnabar and Mira to seal the coffin lid.”
"Therefore, we only need to cut the edge of the crack to open the coffin.”
As he spoke, Shen Fei gave them a brief explanation. Then, he used a dagger to insert it into the gap of the coffin and slowly began to cut along the edge.
As expected!
There were no steel nails on the lid of the coffin. Instead, it was sealed with wax.
After Shen Fei cut the edge of the coffin, he instructed again,"However, this method is usually used to ensure that the gas in the coffin and the corpse are sealed. Therefore, it was very likely that the coffin contained poison gas injected during burial. Everyone should quickly avoid it later.”
"Don't worry." Huang Bo said and grabbed the lid of the coffin with Shen Fei.
With a creak that made one's teeth ache, the coffin lid that weighed 100 pounds was pushed open effortlessly by the two men.
Then, the two of them gently placed the coffin lid on the ground.
"Quickly dodge!" Huang Lei was quick with his hands and eyes. He immediately urged.
Then, the five of them quickly squatted on the ground and covered their mouths and noses with towels, waiting patiently.
After waiting for two minutes, Shen Fei brought the torch closer to the edge of the coffin.
In the end, the flames on it burned normally.
Seeing this, the few of them could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Then, they carefully stood up and approached the coffin.
For a moment, the audience in front of the television felt as if they were there. They held their breaths together with Ya Ya and the others. The tomb was extremely quiet.
At the same time, Shen Fei still felt uneasy.
If it was poisonous gas, it would be fine.
However, there was no poisonous gas in the coffin, and it had never been opened before.
But if that was the case, how did the gold-looting officer die here?
What had killed him?
With this thought in mind, Shen Fei wanted to see what mysterious situation was in the coffin.
The torchlight and torch lit up the inside of the coffin. Shen Fei and the others carefully poked their heads in to take a look. When they saw what was in the coffin, even Huang Bo couldn't help but gasp.
Hiss!
They had already seen dead people and skeletons.
However, the dried corpse in the coffin was completely different. It was a corpse wearing armor.
Moreover, the corpse had been completely dried up. The flesh and skin were stuck to the bones like bacon, allowing him to not rot even after a thousand years.
Even the face of the dried corpse made people feel a little scared.
As the flesh had shriveled due to dehydration, the lips and gums of the corpse had disappeared, revealing canine fangs that were two centimeters long.
Coupled with his hollow eyes, it gave off a strong visual impact.
"Holy sh * t! This is Hou Junji's corpse?”Huang Bo was so surprised that he couldn't help but raise his voice.
To be honest, they never dreamed that the tomb owner's corpse was still so well preserved after a thousand years.
" There are many ways to create mummies in this world," Huang Lei said." The ancient Chinese definitely wouldn't fall behind. This corpse should have been processed."”
Hearing this, Shen Fei also looked at Huang Lei in surprise.
" Something like that," he said." The ancients usually used cinnabar or lime water to soak the dead bodies. This way, the bodies would not rot for thousands of years."”
"However, it seems that besides the armor, the other burial items of the tomb owner should have been brought along with him. Let's wait for a while and then make our move.”
As he spoke, Shen Fei took out the Fragrant Jade and placed it on the neck of the corpse.
The biggest use of this Fragrance Smelling Jade was actually to soften the hard dried corpse, making it easier for grave robbers to attack.
"It might take more than ten minutes to smell the fragrance of the corpse. I'll take this opportunity to teach you the rules of gold looting so that you don't make a mistake later.”
Hearing Shen Fei's words, Huang Bo and the others became spirited.
The most important thing about tomb raiding was to have rules. Otherwise, it was very likely to trigger danger.
Shen Fei also took a deep breath and recalled for a while before saying,"The so-called gold-looting commandant is most concerned about how to search for the dark artifacts on the tomb owner after opening the coffin. The first point was that the clothes of the corpse must not be completely removed. This was a disrespect to the owner of the tomb, and it was very likely to cause the corpse to transform.”
"Next, tie a rope around the neck of the corpse and pull the rope up with your hands to get the tomb owner up. The meaning was that the tomb owner was willing to send the burial items.”
Hearing this, the few of them looked at each other.
Although this sounded like self-deception, the rules could not be broken.
But at this moment, Shen Fei suddenly continued,"In addition, when looting gold, the most taboo thing is to have rats, cats, foxes, and other things enter the tomb. Otherwise, it was very likely that the tomb owner would turn into a corpse.”
Hearing this, Ya Ya and Fatty Di were a little scared.
"I've heard of such rumors, but isn't it feudal superstition?" Huang Lei said.”
Huang Lei had just finished speaking when Huang Bo retorted,""What feudal superstition? The giant spider you saw before was also a superstition? We're already in the tomb. It's better to believe that these things exist than not.”
Shen Fei patted Huang Bo's shoulder in satisfaction.
Indeed, the corpse transformation of the tomb owner of the Wild Cat Country was indeed a little unbelievable.
However, since ancient times, this was the most taboo for grave robbers.
There must be some unknown reason or something that science could not explain.
"Alright, it's about time." After looking at it for five minutes, Shen Fei took back the Fragrant Jade and continued,"Next is the most crucial step before touching the gold. We must release the last breath from the tomb owner's throat.”
"One breath? How can a dead person not die?" Ya Ya was a little confused.
Shen Fei directly said,"This is easy to explain. Actually, after a person dies, some people will usually hold a breath in their throat." It could be bad luck or resentment, so the most important thing after death was to let out this breath.”
"What will happen if we don't release them?”Ya Ya continued to ask.
Shen Fei smiled and said,"If you don't let them out, the nails and hair of the corpse will continue to grow after death, and this is also a precursor to the corpse's transformation."”
As he spoke, Shen Fei tapped Hou Junji's throat twice.
Then, he pinched its throat with a little force, and the mummified corpse's lower jaw actually opened up?
