Chapter 1097 The God in the Coffin

"Could that so-called breath of death be the breath left by the Dragon King?" Chu Zihang looked at Chu Tianjiao and asked.

"It's very likely. I think so too." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "Because he has dragon bloodline, he is more resistant to this kind of death aura than Sasha."

"You didn't find the exit of Nibelung in those small coffins?" Caesar asked Chu Tianjiao.

"No, you can see through those small coffins at a glance. There's nothing inside." Chu Tianjiao shook his head and said, "Sasha and I have both lay in one and experienced it. Apart from the feeling of death that gradually came over us and enveloped us, we felt nothing."

“Oh, yes, there really is a very small coffin inside.” Chu Tianjiao suddenly remembered. He glanced at Lu Mingfei and said, “It’s within the normal range of a human being, but a little smaller than an average adult man. It looks more like a woman’s body.”

Lu Mingfei nodded silently, and Chu Zihang subconsciously glanced at Lu Mingfei.

"I couldn't even straighten my body in that coffin, so I just sat in it and tried it." Chu Tianjiao said, "Still nothing happened. We didn't find any exit-like places in all the eight coffins that could be entered."

The room fell into a long silence. No one could figure it out. Although the exit must be very hidden, it would be too far-fetched if it could not be found anywhere... Chu Tianjiao and Sasha explored almost every place within their sight on the island.

“Could it be that the coffin is not the one in the center of the island, but one on the periphery? It’s just that there are too many coffins here and it was overlooked.” Ye Sheng made his guess, “After all, if the owner here is a little cunning, he may have set the only exit in a place that is easy to overlook. This island is like a maze. Unless someone is lucky enough and careful enough, others may be trapped to death here.”

"I wonder if it's possible that you have found the exit but just ignored it." Caesar whispered to Chu Tianjiao, "Could that feeling of suffocation on the verge of death be the opportunity to escape from Nibelungen? Because entering Nibelungen means sinking into the water, and drowning people will also feel a strong sense of suffocation."

"Could it be the two sealed coffins?" Shude Aki whispered, "The master controls the exit, and outsiders cannot open it on their own, so only those who are allowed can escape from there, and those who are not allowed will stay on the 'Isle of Death' forever."

Jiude Aki's words made Lu Mingfei and Nuonuo look sideways.

"Little girl, you are right this time." Chu Tianjiao suddenly looked at Jiude Aji. He nodded at Jiude Aji with an affirmative expression.

"The final exit is hidden in one of the two remaining coffins, or maybe there are two exits, but we have never opened the other one." Chu Tianjiao said slowly, "The situation at that time was like this. Sasha and I were almost at the end of our rope. After coming out of the last coffin, I didn't look very good, and Sasha's state was obviously becoming depressed. He felt that the so-called exit might not have existed in the first place. Sasha told me that he wanted to go see his comrades."

"Those crew members?" Caesar frowned. "Weren't they burned to death?"

“Sasha didn’t see them being burned to death. His last memory should be the crew members being engulfed by flames, but he didn’t see for himself to confirm their death.” Chu Tianjiao paused, then slowly changed his words, “Perhaps Sasha already knew in his heart that those crew members couldn’t survive, but he just wanted to see for himself to confirm it.”

"Because he was a comrade-in-arms with whom he had lived day and night, Sasha must have been tormented by abandoning his comrades and escaping alone." Chu Tianjiao said, "Sasha said before that after he got out, he would use the money left by Vincent to support the families of all the dead crew members, but when he said this, his expression was obviously struggling and guilty. Perhaps not finding a way out was a relief for Sasha. Deep down in his heart, he believed that being buried here with his comrades was his final destination."

"It sounds quite tragic." Lu Mingfei said with a complicated expression.

Lu Mingfei imagined if he was on a mission with Caesar, Chu Zihang, Finkel and the others, and everyone died, and in the end he was the only one left looking for an escape route... He must have felt tormented and guilty. Survivors always have an inexplicable sense of guilt.

"I understand Sasha's feelings, but the most he could do was walk to the shore of the island and look at the empty sea from afar. The boat that had long been burned to ashes might have sunk the souls of the crew members to the bottom of the sea forever." Chu Tianjiao said, "But Sasha insisted on swimming back to the location of the last wooden boat. He had run out of energy. I tried to persuade Sasha to calm down, but he seemed determined to leave. He said to me, 'Mr. Chu, please forgive my selfishness', and left all his equipment to me, including the knife, harpoon, and a tactical grenade that might have misfired."

"Sasha put these things on the sealed small coffin closest to us and turned away. I looked at Sasha's back and felt very upset with the harpoon in my hand. I was about to leave the things there and try to talk to him, but I was not paying attention and my palm was cut by the barb on the harpoon." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "Then, something incredible happened. The blood from my palm spread on the coffin. It quickly condensed into a strange character and then slowly faded. It was not evaporating, but it seemed to be absorbed by the coffin."

"Do you remember what shape that character was?" Nuonuo asked Chu Tianjiao.

"I remember it was a pattern similar to wings." Chu Tianjiao took out a pen and paper and simply sketched out the pattern, showing it to Nuonuo and the others. "I have seen the same characters several times on the altar of the White Island before."

"This means that this symbol refers to some common and important meaning in the dragon language, so it is mentioned repeatedly." Chu Zihang said, "And it should not be an adverb like '的' or '好' in Chinese. This character may represent a special meaning." "The civilization of dragons is far more ancient than we imagined, and the unknown history is definitely more than the history we know." Lu Mingfei said, he looked at Chu Tianjiao and asked, "Is the appearance of that character accompanied by any strange phenomenon?"

"Yes." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "After the bloody characters disappeared, the black coffin began to vibrate."

"Vibration?" Chu Zihang frowned slightly.

"Yes, it vibrates at a very high frequency with a small amplitude, and the frequency is getting faster and faster." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "I had a feeling that something was about to happen, so I shouted Sasha's name loudly. Sasha thought I wanted to persuade him to stay, so he didn't look back and even quickened his pace. I told Sasha to stop immediately, as something was not right here."

"After a while, Sasha finally noticed something was wrong, because the coffin was vibrating faster and faster, and even made a sharp whistling sound. Sasha turned around, but I didn't have time to pay attention to him at that time. My attention was all focused on the coffin." Chu Tianjiao said, "It was like a high-powered engine running at full power. It felt as if there was an incredible monster in this black box, and it was about to break out of the coffin. Just as I was thinking this, a crack appeared on the top cover of the coffin."

"It's open?" Caesar's face changed.

"Yes, a strong smell of death seeped out from the cracks in the coffin, and I saw a dazzling light with a scorching temperature, as if there was a burning sun hidden inside." Chu Tianjiao said, "Sasha rushed to my side, and just as he was about to pass in front of the coffin, I suddenly rushed out and threw Sasha to the ground. We rolled several times, and our bodies were rubbed by the white gravel, but these minor injuries were nothing compared to what we were about to encounter."

Everyone in the room was silent, and no one interrupted Chu Tianjiao. Everyone knew that Chu Tianjiao must have encountered something unimaginable next.

"The cracks in the coffin are getting bigger and bigger. Something is coming out of it, carrying a huge amount of light and heat. It's flames." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "Sasha and I both changed our expressions, because we can still vividly remember the scene of the white figure approaching us with flames and killing all the crew members. Now flames are coming out of the coffin in front of us again, with extremely high temperatures. When the flames passed over our heads, Sasha and I almost felt our skin burn."

"There is definitely more than just fire hidden in that coffin. My intuition is always accurate. I pulled Sasha away quickly. When the lid of the coffin was completely opened, Sasha and I saw a nightmare figure." Chu Tianjiao's face was not looking good. "The white figure came out of the coffin and hovered above our heads."

"That was my first close encounter with Him. The humanoid was wearing a white robe, and part of its body was wrapped in layers of gray-white shrouds, without revealing an inch of skin. He looked down at us from above, as if he was born to be a high-profile species." Chu Tianjiao said, "He has a pair of dazzling eyes, so bright and dazzling that it is impossible to look directly at His face, but Sasha and I can't forget Him. That white shadow has long been deeply imprinted in our minds, like the incarnation of an angel and a devil, or like the cold and arrogant god of death, but carrying the hottest fire in hell, burning every sinner to death."

"The 'God' has locked onto us. There is no doubt that Sasha and I are the only two living people on the entire island. We seem to have really reached a dead end. Even if the exit of Nibelungen appears in front of us, it will be useless now." Chu Tianjiao said, "If no one stops Him, Sasha and I will definitely be burned to death by the flames like the crew members on the small boat."

"Who can stop Him at this time?" Caesar asked in a deep voice.

"Sasha yelled at me to run, and it looked like he was planning to stay and face that thing alone." Chu Tianjiao said, "Even though the gap between them was so huge, Sasha was just an ordinary person, and he had left all his weapons to me, and even broke one of his arms. In the end, he even wanted me to leave and face everything alone. The spirit of this Russian man once again touched me."

Not only Chu Tianjiao, but everyone in the room was impressed by the actions of the man named Sasha.

"I slapped the gun into Sasha's hand and pushed him out fiercely. I didn't say anything to him. I believe Sasha understood what I meant." Chu Tianjiao said, "I stood in front of the white figure. This was the first time I faced him directly. Although his golden eyes and flames almost made it impossible for me to open my eyes, I still didn't look away. I was very clear about the gap between me and that thing, so I didn't plan to escape by chance. Maybe it wouldn't matter if I died there. I thought to myself, at least I witnessed the secret of dragons, at least I knew a brother like Sasha, and there's nothing wrong with dying like that. At least I wouldn't be alone."

Chu Zihang stared at Chu Tianjiao in a daze. He suddenly remembered the rainy night seven years ago, when it was the same man standing in front of the "God"... No wonder this man had such courage and determination, because he had made the same choice.

Yes, what's wrong with dying there? It's a good death, not lonely at all.

"'You killed so many of us, you don't think you can get away with it, right? Let me seek justice for them.'" Chu Tianjiao said, "I faced the white figure and shouted these words fiercely. I don't know where my courage came from, but I was not afraid at all. I was holding Sasha's knife in my hand. In fact, it was just an ordinary hunting knife, but at that time I suddenly felt that it was a peerless knife, because I was holding it in my hand and was about to chop down the high and mighty 'God'. What ending could be more exciting and grand than this?"

"I jumped high, and the knife in my hand drew a sharp arc of light. I was sure that the knife hit the thing, but I didn't expect to kill it with one blow. It would be enough to leave a scar on its body before I die." Chu Tianjiao said, "I don't know if the knife left any marks, but I know that I am about to die... or it may be something more terrible than death. Even if I didn't actually touch it, I could smell the strong breath of death just through the flames. The extremely high temperature forced me back, and the feeling of suffocation made me almost faint."

"I saw a silver mask covering my face, held by a hand wrapped in a shroud, just like the mask on Vincent's face." Chu Tianjiao said, "I can't escape anymore. This is probably my end. I thought to myself, and my consciousness gradually sank, as if the whole world was moving away from me."

“When I was about to lose my will, I suddenly heard Sasha’s roar.” Chu Tianjiao said, “Followed by fierce gunshots and roars.”
