Chapter 406 The Man in the Coffin

Lu Su obviously didn't expect such a vision, his expression changed, and he pulled out the Ghost Crying Saber.But at this time, the coffin that had swallowed the incense seemed to be disturbed, and the entire coffin lid suddenly jumped up, making a rattling sound, which made people's ears and hearts numb.

At this moment, I suddenly saw something poking out from the crack in the coffin.

It was a black and purple human hand.

That hand clasped the edge of the coffin tightly, as if exerting force, and then the coffin lid was slowly pushed up.Lu Su shouted: "Not good." Immediately afterwards, he flew up, jumped onto the coffin lid, and pressed the coffin back again with his own weight.

I have seen a lot of tofu zongzi, so I don’t feel scared at the moment. Seeing Lu Su’s actions, he sarcastically said, “Don’t you want to open the coffin? Why don’t you open it now?” Lu Su held the knife in one hand and pressed the coffin in the other On the coffin, half-kneeling, looked sideways at Tofu, and said, "Do you know how Master Zhao became a heavenly soldier?" He pointed his eyes at the black coffin, and said, "I was bitten by something inside. of."

Tofu glanced at me, feeling disbelief, and said to Lu Su, "Don't be ridiculous, one bite will turn you into a heavenly soldier, so what is lying here? The ancestor of the heavenly soldier?"

The lid of the coffin was pressed down by Lu Su, and it stopped moving immediately. As soon as Tofu finished speaking, the black coffin was suddenly lifted up, and in an instant, it stood up straight!

There is an old saying in the inverted bucket, which is: when a person stands upright, a coffin stands with a corpse. An erected coffin has always been a sign of great misfortune.As soon as the coffin was erected, Lu Su rolled around in the air and jumped off the coffin. At this time, the coffin lid also hit the ground with a bang. Suddenly, a burst of black smoke rushed out of the coffin. A fishy and spicy smell rushed straight to the forehead, making people feel nauseous in an instant.

If we weren't far away, I'm afraid we would be covered by this black mist.

At this moment, the lid of the coffin was opened, and the black mist in the coffin rushed out. It became very thin in just a moment, and the situation in the coffin was also displayed before our eyes.However, the coffin was filled with a crimson viscous liquid. Now that the coffin was erected, the viscous liquid flowed out along the edge of the coffin.

And in that coffin, there was an ancient corpse soaked in liquid, and at this moment, as the red liquid flowed out, the ancient corpse also revealed its figure.

When I saw the original appearance of this ancient corpse, I had only one feeling in my heart, that is: Is this really a dead person?

I have seen quite a few dead bodies, but this is the first time I have seen such lifelike zongzi.I saw the corpse in the coffin, the skin was as smooth as jade, the sword eyebrows were like ink, wearing a feather coat, black hair, and wearing a fairy crown. There was no sign of atrophy or swelling in the muscles. At first glance, it looked like some kind of corpse. It's like a fairy in a painting lying in it, and the viewers are dumbfounded.And as the liquid flowed out completely, some weird shapes were exposed around the corpse, like funerary objects.

I took a look, and immediately realized that there were black lamps inside, densely piled up around the corpse, and the most peculiar thing was that the moment the black lamps were revealed, the iron wick lit up!
Tofu exclaimed: "How can this be possible!" I also have a black lamp, which is only in the shape of a lamp. Although the wick is made of iron, it is impossible to ignite it no matter what.But now, the lamps that were buried around the ancient corpse gradually turned on. '

At this moment, that ancient corpse suddenly opened its eyes!

The eyes were crimson red and strange, with no pupils at all. Immediately afterwards, the entire black coffin exploded with a bang, and there were bursts of strange howling in the air.I have seen countless scenes of zongzi lifting corpses, but I have never seen such a powerful one. It has the aura of killing gods.

When the coffin exploded, countless fragments of the coffin bounced off. I quickly covered my eyes with my hand and stepped back. When I got to the side of the mute, I heard the mute panting rapidly, and said to me: "We can't deal with it, run away." Xin said that he would know just by looking at his posture, so what else do you need to say?Immediately, he lifted the mute up and turned his back on his body, and said to Tofu, "Get out quickly."

At this moment, the dumpling from the dead body did not rush towards me. The moment the coffin exploded, it circled in the air like a flying corpse, and suddenly rushed towards the tofu in the corner of the cauldron.

"Damn!" I yelled in shock, and the throwing knives in my hand shot out in unison, regardless of whether it was useful or not.The strange thing is that this zongzi is not as copper-skinned and iron-boned as most zongzi. The four throwing knives I shot all stuck in it, but unfortunately, it didn't seem to have any effect.

At this time, Lu Su's expression also changed drastically. Seeing the zongzi rushing towards the tofu, Guikudao slammed the knife and flew towards the zongzi like a silver lightning.The zongzi seemed to be a bit jealous about this knife, turned around in the air and dodged it deftly, then swooped again, suddenly lifted the tofu, and went straight to the sky.

Its exit from the coffin was really terrible, it didn't get out of the hollowed-out gap like us, but directly hit the cauldron lid.It stands to reason that the lid of this tripod weighs a thousand catties, and there are iron ropes rolling around it, even explosives can't blow it apart easily, but who knows that this thing is so powerful, this collision, let alone the lid, shakes the whole tripod When we got up, we saw the lids on our heads fly off in an instant, and the iron chains were tempered one after another, hanging down from the edge of the cauldron.

The thing contained tofu, like a flying corpse, all the way up, instantly submerged in the red smoke, and disappeared without a trace.

And as the iron chain broke and the cauldron cover flew away, the cauldron couldn't bear such a strong force, and it fell down completely. The three of us were in it, and the world was naturally spinning for a while, and the things inside followed the big cauldron. It collapsed and flew back and forth, and my whole body fell with it. I was dizzy and dizzy, and I felt that someone was also pressing on me, and I almost vomited blood.

Needless to say, I felt dizzy and dizzy when I fell down. When I regained consciousness, I opened my eyes and saw a purple face pressing down on me. The eyes were full of pain and hatred. I was so shocked that my scalp went numb and I hurried Push the corpse away.

When everything settled down, there were fragments of the coffin all around, and the equipment left by the old man Zhao was also torn apart, and the crimson liquid dried up and condensed into something like dried paint.

"Tofu!" I screamed, but there was no response from the surroundings.

The mute coughed, his voice was a little unsteady, and he said, "It's late, I was taken away."

Buzzing in my mind, there was only one thought: Tofu was taken away by that horrible corpse.

The smile on Lu Su's face disappeared a long time ago. He picked up his Ghost Crying Saber gloomyly and stared at the blade, wondering what he was thinking.I didn't want to mess with these people anymore, so I immediately packed up some available equipment, and helped the mute out of the bronze cauldron.Lu Su followed behind us, silent.

When I walked outside, I suddenly realized that the red smoke had become very thin for some reason. Old man Zhao had a searchlight in his equipment bag. You can see the situation at a glance, where can you see the shadow of tofu and the corpse.

I thought of what Lu Su said before, saying that the old man Zhao became a heavenly soldier because he was bitten by that corpse. I felt angry and anxious for a moment, and grabbed Lu Su's collar suddenly, saying: "Then What the hell is it! What do you know? My brother was taken away by it!" Thinking of the possibility of Tofu becoming a Heavenly Soldier, I felt my blood go cold all over my body, my brain throbbed, and there was no sense left .

Lu Su was silent, without any resistance, and said, "What's the use of talking about it now? It's more important to find someone first, it's not good if it's too late." I knew that Lu Su was right, so I forced myself to calm down.But at this time, the mute who had been on the verge of falling suddenly straightened up and said coldly, "Let's go."

I turned my gaze away, and the mute seemed to have recovered, but he was actually sweating all the time. I knew that he was just holding on.

But at the moment, I don't care too much. In the final analysis, the three of us are not good people. When the three of us get together, intrigue is inevitable, but tofu should be special. Whether it is for Lu Su or the dumb, He wasn't one of the damn ones.

At this moment, all grievances and grievances were put aside for the time being, and the three of us immediately climbed up the rope and climbed back into the ice valley again.

In the ice valley, the fog has dissipated very thinly. I guess, the smoke should be related to the things in the black coffin.The mute stared coldly at the front of the ice valley, and said: "There is only one road, chase!" We chased along the ice valley, and after a while, the mute and Lu Su stopped suddenly, and they looked at each other. It seems that something has been discovered.

Could it be that they found the trace of the flying corpse but there are no clues ahead?I couldn't help feeling strange in my heart, and asked, "Why didn't you leave?"

The mute pointed to the open space in front of us, with cold eyes, and said, "The body is gone." I immediately realized that he should be referring to the old man Zhao's body.

Lu Su's expression also became serious, and he said: "That's where he killed it. Such a big body is obviously dead, how could it..." Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on his face His expression changed suddenly, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he turned his gaze to the top of our heads.

This is an ice valley, which was probably formed by the tearing of the ice body due to the movement of glaciers, so when you look up, you can only see the fortified ice walls on both sides. The strongest range of the searchlight is more than 30 meters, but at this moment, the light Still can't see the end.

However, on the ice wall, we found many holes. These holes stretched upwards in groups of five. On the ice cone not far above, there was a corpse hanging impressively.That corpse, drifting back and forth with the dark wind in the ice valley, the skin all over the body was red and red, who is it if it's not old man Zhao?
