Chapter 1269 Enjoy it
Jiang Xiaochuan also realized that he had lost his composure.
Thinking about it calmly, it makes sense. For a tomb raider to know so many secrets of the Crimson Blood Cult is already quite remarkable.
The sixth brother angrily swung his wrist, too lazy to say anything more, turned around, turned on his flashlight, and strode straight toward the coffin hanging in the center.
"Hey, are you just going to go over there like that?"
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaochuan frowned and whispered behind him, "This might trigger some kind of chain of mechanisms."
The sixth brother turned around, the anger on his face gone. "You don't understand. I may be angry, but I haven't lost my mind."
"Think about it, whose grave is this?"
Before Jiang Xiaochuan could answer, he shone his flashlight across the murals around them and the hanging coffin in the center, and continued:
"The Demon Moon Cult Leader, the supreme leader of a cult, how noble is his status?"
“Tombs of this caliber, especially the core area of the main burial chamber, are designed to exude majesty and be impervious to all evil, rather than resorting to cowardly tricks like traps scattered throughout.”
"The real killer moves and anti-theft mechanisms are mostly set up in the outer passageways, burial pits, or fake tombs and coffins; that's called defense against external threats."
"Upon arriving at the core main burial chamber, especially the resting place of the patriarch, one should remain silent."
"More importantly..."
The sixth brother pointed to the chains above and the lotus platform below:
"This hanging coffin lotus offering arrangement is itself an extremely ingenious and massive formation, which uses the energy of the mountains and rivers to nourish the coffin and suppress the luck."
"Indiscriminately setting up physical mechanisms will only disrupt the balance and purity of this force, resulting in more harm than good."
“Even the most stupid people in the Crimson Blood Cult wouldn’t do such a thing, so the area around this coffin is actually the cleanest place.”
Old Liu's words sounded reliable, but Jiang Xiaochuan secretly shook his head.
The other party's impatient eagerness was like a wolf that hadn't eaten for three days eyeing a fat sheep, showing no regard for the dangers of the ancient tomb.
"If I had known this fat guy was so unreliable, I should have just gone down here by myself."
Jiang Xiaochuan pondered to himself, deliberately keeping his distance from Lao Liu to prevent this fool from acting impulsively and dragging both of them into the trap.
After waiting a while, seeing that Lao Liu was traveling without any obstacles, he also began to slowly walk towards the lotus platform.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaochuan also had some hope that he might be able to find some clues about the fusion of secret techniques in the tomb of the Demon Moon Cult Master.
Ahead, Lao Liu had already reached the edge of the lotus platform.
After confirming there was no danger, he put the flashlight in his mouth and, with a slightly anxious look, grabbed a thick, dangling chain with both hands to test its sturdiness.
Then, using both hands and feet, he nimbly climbed upwards, and after a few leaps, he flipped over and landed steadily on the huge black coffin.
The weight pressing down on the coffin caused it to sway slightly, causing the chains to rattle softly.
Squatting on the coffin lid, Lao Liu couldn't wait to start feeling around for a gap to open it. He gripped the edge of the lid with both hands and used all his strength to lift it up.
"Ok?"
His expression changed quickly; the coffin lid remained completely still, heavier than he had imagined.
"Stop dawdling down there, come and lend a hand!"
Old Six shouted down, his tone urgent, "Fatty has examined it carefully, and the coffin itself isn't connected to any mechanisms, quick!"
Seeing that the sixth brother had gone up there for a while without any problems, Jiang Xiaochuan no longer hesitated and jumped down, landing on the other side of the coffin.
The two stood at opposite ends of the coffin, their feet on chains, each holding onto the edge of the coffin lid.
Logically speaking, with their strength, lifting a heavy truck would be a piece of cake, but the coffin lid was so heavy that it couldn't be opened.
"rise!"
Jiang Xiaochuan refused to believe it and let out a low shout, causing his spiritual energy to surge forth.
The sixth brother's face also turned red, and he used all his strength.
The coffin lid finally made a labored "clattering" sound and was slowly lifted up a narrow crack.
Suddenly, a rich, strange, and cool fragrance wafted out from the crack.
"Work harder!"
Encouraged by the aroma, Lao Liu roared.
The two exerted their strength again, and the coffin lid was pushed open little by little, revealing most of the scene inside the coffin.
Seeing this, Lao Liu couldn't wait to throw the beam of the flashlight he was holding in his mouth into the coffin.
The first thing that catches the eye when the light shines is a lifelike female corpse.
She wore a strangely styled, dark black long dress, the hem of which was embroidered with intricate lotus patterns in dark gold thread.
Under the illumination of the cold light flashlight, the skin even shimmered with a moist, subtle glow.
Her appearance was breathtakingly beautiful, even with a hint of the supernatural.
Her face was flawless, possessing a classical charm that transcended the mundane and was almost perfect.
The sixth brother stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, forgetting even to breathe.
I felt that any woman I had ever seen paled in comparison to her, lacking not just a little bit of charm and awe.
Even the resolute Jiang Xiaochuan was momentarily stunned at this moment.
Old Six was right after all.
Between the slightly parted lips of the female corpse was a dark bead the size of a longan.
The inside of the bead seemed to be shrouded in mist, with a faint, almost imperceptible dark red glint occasionally flashing across it; it must be the legendary Frost Cicada Bead.
"The rumors were indeed true."
The sixth man's Adam's apple bobbed violently, his eyes fixed intently on the face of the female corpse in the coffin.
Then, the chubby, dusty hand slowly rose and reached towards Yao Yue's cheek.
Jiang Xiaochuan frowned. He thought the fat man was in a hurry to make a move because he was aiming for the Cold Cicada Bead between the female corpse's lips, but he didn't expect his hand to go straight to the corpse's face.
"what are you doing?"
Jiang Xiaochuan's heart tightened, and he reached out and grabbed Lao Liu's wrist.
Once again, his wrist was firmly gripped, and the sixth brother immediately bristled. His face flushed and his neck bulged as he struggled, but seeing no effect, he angrily said:
"Damn it! I just touched it, so what?!"
As he spoke, he strained his wrists to push forward, his fingertips almost brushing against Yao Yue's warm skin, but Jiang Xiaochuan held him down firmly, preventing him from moving an inch.
"The things in ancient tombs are inherently eerie, especially the corpses; you mustn't touch them."
Jiang Xiaochuan's face darkened. "Who knows if there's any corpse poison or traps? If something goes wrong, we'll both be doomed here."
Although he hadn't been to many tombs, he had heard a lot that ancient corpses were extremely dangerous.
The sixth brother struggled for a long time but couldn't break free, so he simply stopped moving.
He then looked Jiang Xiaochuan up and down with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I know! You wouldn't happen to have gotten lustful thoughts and want to have it all to yourself, would you?"
"Hey, it's not entirely your fault!"
He winked and leaned closer, "You're still a virgin who's never had sex. How can you resist such a beauty?"
"Alright, alright, don't say I'm disloyal, this beauty is yours!"
As he spoke, the sixth brother pointed to the cicada bead between the female corpse's lips, his smile becoming even more wicked:
"The wonders of this Cold Cicada Pearl need no further explanation. Apart from being a little cold, it's probably no different from being a living person!"
"You'd better enjoy this, kid..."
