I didn't think much. The moment I got close to the hanging coffin, I jumped over. This time I let go of Xu Jinxiu and flew out.
"Chen Fan!"
Xu Jinxiu was shocked, even she didn't expect that I would be so direct, without giving her any preparation reminder.
But it was too late to say anything now, because I had already jumped out and grabbed the protruding temple of the coffin with one hand.
My lower body was almost in a suspended state, relying on one hand to exert force, which put great pressure on me.
Almost subconsciously, I looked for a point of grip, and two seconds later, I yelled against the hanging coffin.
"Splendid Jump! Catch me!"
It doesn't matter if I open my mouth, I almost choke on the dust in my mouth when I inhale.
This hanging coffin is at least over a hundred years old, and the dust on its surface is unthinkable.
"Hold on!" Xu Jinxiu suddenly shouted.
At this time, there is no choice at all. If you jump over, you can live, but if you can't, you will die!
The quicksand has spread. If you don't jump now, you will never have another chance.
"ah!"
Xu Jinxiu let out a sweet cry, and immediately let go of her hand. A burst of fragrance came out, and she was just able to grab my shoulder.
"Hiss...!" This little girl is really terrible.
I took a deep breath. For no other reason than that, her nails dug into my collarbone. It really hurt!
It was at this time that I heard the slight sound of a mechanism. When I was facing the coffin, the top plate was being pulled away little by little.
And the place that was pulled away was also the place where I was holding on. In this uncontrollable situation, I could only hold on tightly and not let go.
If we let go of our hands, Xu Jinxiu and I will both fall. The uncontrollable force of the mechanism drives my arms, but our posture is vertically downward, and it is impossible to pull us up.
On the contrary, my forearm was injured and my skin was bruised. I endured the pain and pressure, and it took almost only a tenth of a second to fasten my hands to the mouth of the coffin.
"Come on! Jinxiu, hurry up, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on!"
The tremendous physical exertion brought me to the verge of collapse. I could only grit my teeth and hold on!
Xu Jinxiu reacted very quickly. She immediately grabbed the mouth of the coffin, climbed up from my body, stopped at the landing point, and then pulled me back.
The two of us supported each other like this, and finally stopped at the edge of the hanging coffin.
Because I touched the mechanism, the mouth of the coffin was slowly opened, and a lot of water came out of it. I was still thinking about how there could be water in the coffin, but suddenly I noticed it!
Just under the center of the coffin, there is a blue jade similar to a glass ball.
"Oh my God! It's actually a spring eyeball. This thing actually exists!"
Hearing my words, Xu Jinxiu frowned and looked over: "What is this?"
"A legendary stone that only exists in legends, the Spring Eye Bead! It is said that it is a lunar water bead that has absorbed the essence of the moon for thousands of years. It was once said in the Taiyi Shanshui Sutra that it can gush out endless spring water."
Xu Jinxiu's eyes changed slightly, and she avoided my gaze in a daze, staring at the spring under the coffin without moving.
Seeing her reaction like this, I thought she was surprised by the legend I told her.
Just when our thoughts are racing, bad things are happening.
The spring water in the coffin continues to gush out and merges with the quicksand below. Not only does the danger increase, but it also speeds up the speed at which this space is filled!
I anxiously looked for an exit, forcing my brain to calm down and think carefully about the problem, so as to try to find clues.
I swear, I really tried my best. From beginning to end, until what happened, I basically filtered it all. I didn't even miss the details of going to the toilet.
But there are still no clues, including the surroundings and the inside of the coffin. Apart from the spring eyes, there are no live traps at all.
"We...can't escape!"
Of the three major evils among the six minor evils, I have now encountered two, the Gathering Wetland and the Quicksand Tomb!
If the two appear alone, there may be some chance of saving themselves, but now the two merge, and the water mixes with the sand, forming a mud swamp, which is the last of the three evils!
The mud touched our knees and there was no way to escape. Seeing my ugly face, Xu Jinxiu seemed to have guessed the outcome.
She sighed, but smiled in relief.
The water flow followed, and there was an inexplicable suction force on both sides. The two of us were unsteady, and we could no longer maintain a basic balance while supporting each other.
Helpless, we could only hug each other in an extremely awkward posture.
At this time, Xu Jinxiu didn't care at all, but felt a little relieved.
"Chen Fan, you are really a nice person. I'm sorry for involving you. Maybe we are going to die."
As soon as I heard this, my expression suddenly became serious.
"Xu Jinxiu, who do you think I am? If I am greedy for life and afraid of death, I might as well be a good boy at home. If I can work hard in this industry, I am already beyond life and death."
Xu Jinxiu shook her head slightly, her mood surprisingly calm.
"That's not what I'm talking about. In fact, I came here for a purpose. It is inseparable from my family. I also want to live..."
I suddenly frowned, obviously there was something behind my words, so I asked.
"What does the family have to do with Xia Dou? What you said..."
Xu Jinxiu didn't hide anything, she directly said two words that shocked me!
"curse!"
"Everyone in our family has a very evil curse. Men cannot live past the age of sixty, and women cannot live past the age of fifty. Our family has been like this for many years. I want to untie this curse that binds the family's fate. "
Xu Jinxiu smiled sadly and told all the past, and in her generation, there was almost no one left.
I tried to comfort him, but due to the circumstances, I couldn't see any hope at all.
Just when I was in a trance, I suddenly saw the spring eyes in the coffin. Maybe this thing...
"Jinxiu give me a hand, I think there should be a solution!"
I was overjoyed and quickly glanced around. There was a reflective spot on the edge of the pit, and this spring eyeball can reflect light!
I quickly bent down, Xu Jinxiu hugged me and put me down, and I made the spring eyes grow old with one hand!
The moonlight shined directly on the ridge, and the bricks seemed to be induced. I heard a "click!"
"Hahaha! I know that there is no perfect road for everyone, let's go Jinxiu!"
After finding the exit, the two of us suddenly felt relaxed and moved toward the exit. But just when I was about to leave, a hand suddenly stretched out from the hanging coffin, and several terrifying forces clenched it. On my wrist!
