"What does he mean?" Lin Yi turned around and asked Zhang Qiling. He couldn't understand the code words with unclear meaning.

Zhang Qiling put down the hand holding Lin Yi's shoulder: "He is asking where you are from."

"Where are you from?" Lin Yi lifted the collar around his neck to reveal the mark: "Feidian Intelligent Technology Company."

"Hiss~" The fat man took a breath: "It is said that big companies will raise some thugs to do dirty work, but if you don't stay in the company, why are you coming to this valley?"

This explanation begins with the conflict between Humagia and humans, but Lin Yi did not want to tell them that he was Humagia: "I am not a tool..."

Zhang Qiling held his wrist, and Lin Yi turned to see what he wanted to do. Zhang Qiling shook his head and indicated that he didn't have to say what he didn't want to say. The last time Lin Yi said this, he fainted and fell ill.

When Lin saw Zhang Qiling shaking his head, he thought he was telling him to stop talking, so he imitated Zhang Qiling and pretended to be stupid, shutting up and pretending not to hear.

The fat man's heart was like a mirror. When he heard the word 'tool', he knew that there must be a sad past in it, so he happily changed the subject: "Well, let's see what treasures we have!"

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the jade bed. Although the neck of the male corpse was broken, there was no damage to other parts!

The fat man inspected the two corpses. He found that there was something in the mouth of the female corpse, so he pinched the corners of the lower jaw of the female corpse and tried to reach out to take it out.

"Don't move!" Uncle San shouted to stop the fat man's movements.

The fat man let go of the woman's jaw and looked back at the third uncle: "No, what's wrong?"

The third uncle walked up to the fat man and warned him: "You have blood on your hands. If you touch the female corpse, you will definitely fake it."

"Okay, third uncle, please~" The fat man spread his hands to indicate that he would please first.

Even if he is blocked from doing anything, he might as well let his third uncle do it.

The third uncle inspected the neck of the female corpse and said: "There are crossbow arrows in the neck of the corpse. If the thing is taken out, the crossbow arrows will be fired."

The fat man took a half-step back with a frightened look on his face, staying away from the female corpse.

The third uncle looked at him disdainfully, and after holding the female corpse's neck and playing with it a few times, three crossbow arrows penetrated the female corpse's neck and nailed it to the stone wall.

Seeing that the trap had been disarmed, Wu Xie came forward. The third uncle took out the contents of the female corpse's mouth. The female corpse immediately oxidized and turned black, which shocked Wu Xie: "Third uncle, what's going on?"

Lin Yi was curious and followed him over to see what was going on.

Zhang Qiling went around to the other side and seemed to find something under the belt of the man's corpse who had lost his head, but he quickly put it away without Lin Yi seeing it clearly.

"This is an ancient method of embalming. The corpse is used as a container. Once the things used to preserve the corpse are taken away, it will quickly decay." Uncle San explained to Wuxie while looking at the things in his hands.

"Third uncle, is this a key? What can it open...?" Wuxie looked around and found the box held by the male corpse: "Hey~! Maybe it's used to open this thing!"

Wuxie bent down to pick up the box, and as he spoke, he wanted to take the key from his third uncle's hand and open the box.

The third uncle turned the key in his hand and put it away: "You brat, have you figured out what's in the box? I just want to open it, so you should open the lock of your own door!"

"Don't we know what's inside when we open it?" Wuxie played with the box with a curious look on his face: "Uncle Third, this thing is an eight-fold treasure letter containing the Buddha's bones and relics. Buddhism hadn't been introduced at that time... "

He put the box to his ear and shook it, and there was a "dong-dong" sound coming from inside. It should be a metal object.

"Hey, if you are naive, stop studying. Quickly open it and let your brothers see the relics from thousands of years ago. Maybe you can become an immortal if you eat them!" The fat man looked at the box with greedy eyes, obviously impatient.

"Third Uncle" Wuxie reached out to his third uncle for the box.

The third uncle held Wu Xie's arm and shook his head, signaling him not to drive here.

Wu Xie understood immediately and put the box into his backpack: "It's too dangerous here. Let's go back and study it again."

"Hey, okay, treat Fatty like me as an outsider, right?" Fatty muttered, but didn't do anything else.

"Don't be such a fat man, I will definitely call you when I open the box!" Wuxie punched the fat man on the chest.

Click——

The fat man staggered back and stepped on the mechanism with a click. His face suddenly turned pale: "Innocent, run away..."

"Bah! Damn Fatty, where else can you run?" Wuxie quickly squatted down to check what the Fatty had stepped on.

"That fat man, please don't move. If you let go of your legs, a crossbow bolt might come out and prick us like hedgehogs." Uncle San lowered his voice to scare Wu Xie and Fatty.

"Shall we run?" Lin Yi turned to look at Zhang Qiling. With their skills, they could retreat into the tomb passage within ten steps.

Zhang Qiling shook his head: "It's not a murder mechanism."

Wuxie patted the fat man's leg that was already shaking: "Fat man, do you hear that? I said it's not a fatal mechanism, so you can relax your legs."

"Huh~ I was scared to death." The fat man jumped away from the thing he stepped on, and patted his chest in fear.

"Third Uncle! Are you okay!?" Pan Zi found a way out and quickly ran to his side.

"No..." Before the third uncle could finish his words, the whole space began to shake.

The fat man held on to the jade bed and turned to see Zhang Qiling's reaction: "Brother, didn't you say it's not a big deal? Why does this place look like it's going to collapse!?"

The shaking on the ground stopped before it lasted for a minute. A large hole opened at the bottom of the giant tree, and the coffin fixed with iron chains was pulled out of the tree hole under the operation of the mechanism.

A strange sound suddenly came from the coffin, which sounded like heavy breathing.

Although the sound only sounded once, Wu Xie was still frightened to the point of numbness: "Third... Third Uncle... There won't be any living things in this coffin, right?"

The third uncle slapped Wu Xie on the back of the head: "You brat, what bad words are you talking about! This coffin is thousands of years old, how can there be any living things in it?"

The fat man has prepared the crowbar: "Brother Pan Zi, aim your gun at the coffin. If something moves, give it a shot!"

"We've come this far, there's no way we can just go back and fuck him!" The third uncle raised the crowbar and wanted to take action, but Pan Zi pulled the bolt and pointed the shotgun at the coffin.

The fat man who was rubbing the coffin raised his head to stop the third uncle's movement: "Wait a minute! Why are you Southerners so violent? Just use a crowbar and you won't be afraid of hitting the trap."

"Aren't you holding a crowbar?" The third uncle was speechless.

The fat man knocked on the coffin twice with the crowbar 'bangbang': "You don't understand, I did this to prevent the things inside from pretending to be the corpse."

"What's the defense against that thing of yours?" The third uncle sneered. He used a knife to draw a circle around the coffin to remove the wax seal. He used a crowbar to loosen it and then raised his hand to call the fat man: "Here, help us push it together."

Hum~

The coffin was opened, and the strange breathing sound sounded again from the coffin. The sound was clearer without the obstruction of the coffin.

There was a strange sound coming from the coffin, and the third uncle and the others became more cautious in their movements. This time they did not choose to pry hard, but began to fumble around to find if there was a mechanism.

Wuxie always feels that something is missing, shouldn't there be someone to be afraid with? ?

He glanced around and counted the crowd, and then realized that there was someone missing in the team: "Uncle San, where is Da Kui?"

The third uncle didn't even turn around: "Dakui? That guy was obviously very timid, but when he saw the treasure, he rushed forward desperately. He didn't know what he touched, and he became insane and became extremely aggressive. I almost missed you, the third uncle." It’s in his hand.”

"Third uncle... Isn't it better to just leave Da Kui alone?" Wu Xie didn't expect that something happened to Da Kui. He thought he was just lost.

The third uncle stopped groping for the coffin and warned Wu Xie seriously: "My eldest nephew, if you are incompetent in a fight, you will die. Da Kui bites us regardless of whether we are enemies or not. Taking him with us will only hurt us."

"I found it, Fatty! You all give in." The fat man's excited voice attracted everyone's attention, and he asked the third uncle and Pan Zi to stand further away and press the mechanism hidden in the coffin pattern.
