Invasion of the Heavens from Eternal Life

Chapter 4 Inside the Coffin
Inside the ancient bronze coffin, it was pitch black and noisy.

"What should we do? Who can save us? I don't want to stay here!"

"Call 110!"

"I called, but there's no signal!"

"Damn, I shouldn't have come here!"

"Woooooo~"

Some young women had already started crying out of fear.

The space inside the ancient bronze coffin was very large and looked extremely spacious, but everyone was in the enclosed darkness, and it was inevitable that they felt fear.

"Don't panic, everyone. Although we can't get in touch with the outside world for the time being, given such a big incident, I believe the rescuers will arrive soon. We just need to wait here quietly." said a male voice.

"Don't panic, everyone. We must stay calm. We will be safe." Another male voice said.

At that moment, the pitch-black space was no longer dark. Many people pulled out their cell phones and turned on their flashlights, illuminating the coffin. Perhaps the light dissipated their fear, and many gradually calmed down, observing their surroundings and gathering in small groups, whispering to each other.

However, even so, everyone was still somewhat frightened.

"Are we inside a bronze coffin?" a girl asked in a low voice.

But no one answered, which was of course an obvious thing.

"How could there be a 31st person!!!"

At this moment, someone curiously counted the number of people in the coffin and exclaimed.

There were twenty-nine people in total, plus the kid in ancient costume, so there were only thirty people in total. How could there be thirty-one people?

At this moment, everyone was horrified and had goosebumps.

"Can't you just use a flashlight to identify it? Speechless." Fang Han interrupted.

"Yes, who has a flashlight on their phone? Turn it on!" someone suggested.

Well, it's 2010, and smartphones have just started to become widely popular. Many people still use old flip phones, some of which don't have flashlights.

After a few young people with flashlights on their phones turned them on, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. There is still a difference between light and darkness.

The thirty-first person to be identified was a tall figure with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a sturdy build. This person was Pang Bo, the same as in the original novel. He was Ye Fan's best friend during college. He was delayed by something and would be arriving later this time.

Everyone then began to use their phones to observe their surroundings. The bronze coffin itself resembled a large room, surrounded by numerous bronze carvings. Many had become blurred, seemingly due to age. Nine-headed divine birds soared high, and giant, hairy, humanoid beasts appeared. Among these ancient bronze carvings were ferocious beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, such as Taotie, Qiongqi, and Taowu, ancient beasts whose ferocious, enormous faces were terrifying.

In addition, there are dense carvings of ancient ancestors and ancient gods. Finally, there is a large area of ​​densely packed stars, similar to a star map carving.

Fang Han followed Ye Fan and others to carefully appreciate the engravings inside and memorized them firmly in their hearts.

He has excellent eyesight, so he can see many details.

The space inside the coffin is twenty meters long and about eight meters wide, with a vague rectangular object in the center.

"What is that? Let's go and take a look!"

Because there were so many people, or perhaps because there was nothing unusual inside the coffin, everyone gradually became bolder and began to want to explore the contents further.

"This is actually a bronze coffin! Hiss!"

The sound of inhalation echoed from all around. The thought of everyone being sucked into the bronze coffin was terrifying enough, but who would have thought there was another bronze coffin within? This immediately amplified everyone's fear. This bronze coffin was approximately two meters wide and four meters long. It had a simple, dim glow, covered in a patina, and engraved with ancient patterns, making it look terrifying.

"No, there aren't any zongzi in here!" Fang Han said casually. Of course, he knew what was inside. It contained the most precious thing in the world.

"Ah~"

This remark made many people feel a chill from head to toe.

"Kid, shut up!" a female voice scolded.

The one who opened the conversation was a girl wearing hot pants and with long beautiful legs. She had big eyes and long black eyelashes, and looked very lively.

Everyone has seen many of Uncle Ying's movies. A zombie might suddenly jump out of the coffin. If a big guy suddenly jumps out of this coffin that has been there for who knows how long, will everyone be able to survive in this confined space?

"Hey~ What do you care about me?"

Fang Han said that he would not indulge others.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. I know what this is." Pangbo spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

"This is not a coffin within a coffin, but a complete set of coffins. The large ancient bronze coffin outside is the outer coffin, and the small coffin inside is the real coffin. This is a coffin within a coffin, and we are now in the space inside the outer coffin." Pang Bo explained.

"What on earth is in here? Could it be the body of an ancient emperor?" someone wondered.

"Maybe! This may be related to the five-colored altar on Mount Tai!" Some people also speculated.

"It's been almost two hours, why haven't the rescuers arrived yet?" Some young women also seemed very anxious.

As time went by, many people began to become impatient. The initial novelty had worn off, and fear began to creep in. Of course, there were a few people who remained relatively calm throughout, including Ye Fan.

"How many secrets are hidden in the lost ancient history? Who can know?" Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh. From the nine-dragon coffin, to the five-colored altar, and the huge Bagua Tai Chi diagram covering the sky, all of this was beyond his comprehension.

"Could it be that the ancient immortal cultivators and Qi refiners really existed?" Ye Fan said to himself.

"Tsk tsk, the existence of the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin today speaks for itself. We've already accepted it, so why ask again? Regardless, this is beyond our comprehension. Perhaps there was a glorious civilization in ancient times?"

Fang Han couldn't help but interrupt when he heard this.

"Maybe!" Hearing Fang Han's words, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel surprised, and immediately looked up to Fang Han in his heart.

This young man who cosplayed as a servant remained very calm from beginning to end. He was either careless or a hidden master who was worth making friends with, Ye Fan concluded in his heart.

"What's your name, little brother?"

"Fang Han, what about you?"

"Ye Fan."

“I don’t know when the rescuers will arrive!”

"They should be here soon! I think they're climbing the mountain now, so they might be here soon. Let's wait a little longer!"

"I'm feeling a little hungry already."

The space inside this ancient coffin was as high as eight or nine meters and was tightly sealed by the coffin lid. There was no way for everyone to leave and they could only wait for rescue.
