Chapter 522 Verifying the Hypothesis: Luring the Snake Out of its Hole
Fatty Wang took out his gun and waved to Wu Xie, who immediately shook his head in refusal.
Wang Pangzi sighed helplessly as he looked at Wu Xie, and had no choice but to call Jiang Zisuan over. It was Jiang Zisuan's first time entering a tomb, and he was extremely excited. He immediately followed Wang Pangzi's example and walked over. The two of them formed a pincer movement and walked towards the large Qinghua porcelain jar.
Although Wu Xie was scared, he couldn't help but chuckle when he saw A Ning frowning at him. In order not to appear too cowardly in front of A Ning, he pretended to be cowardly and pulled Zhang Tuzi along, carefully peeking out.
Wang Pangzi and Jiang Zisuan walked very slowly and cautiously, afraid that something might suddenly jump out. Pangzi first shone a strong flashlight on the large porcelain jar, but it was too big to see anything. He then poked it with his gun, five or six times, and it seemed that there was nothing behind it. Only then did he muster up the courage to walk over. When he saw it, he clicked his tongue and cursed, "Damn it, there's only an empty wooden box. It made me nervous for nothing."
At this moment, Gao Dongxu, who had been focusing on his hearing with his eyes closed, opened them, his brows furrowed. He hadn't heard any other sounds.
Ah Ning looked at Gao Dongxu and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Gao Dongxu shook his head slightly, frowned, and said, "It's nothing, let's go take a look—"
“Okay.” A Ning nodded and walked forward with Gao Dongxu. They saw a double phoenix-carved baby coffin, only about one meter in size, behind a pile of huge blue and white porcelain vases. The coffin lid had been opened and placed aside. The white coffin bottom inside was still well preserved, but the body was gone. No wonder Fatty thought it was just a box. Wu Xie frowned and said, “This is not a box, it’s a coffin.”
The fat man didn't believe it at first, but he quickly realized and asked, "You mean, this is the coffin of that little rice dumpling?"
Fatty Wang carefully shone the coffin inside and out with his flashlight, then sighed regretfully, "Judging from the size of this coffin, I know that this child must have had a lot of good things on him. It's a pity that I don't know where the body is. Otherwise, if I had pressed it down a few times, I might have been able to find a few beads."
Wu Xie nodded, agreeing with Fatty Wang's statement, because the coffins of children who died young or were buried alive with their parents always contained many things, and most of them were carried on their person. In particular, the stomachs of children buried alive with their parents often contained preservative beads, which were priceless items.
Under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Gao Dongxu walked to the double phoenix-carved infant coffin, squatted down, reached out to touch the coffin, and closed his eyes to feel the spiritual energy emanating from it.
Artifact!
Gao Dongxu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the infant coffin in front of him. His eyes were flashing with a burning light. The spiritual energy of the entire double phoenix carved infant coffin was the same as that of the other divine artifacts, and it was as solid as jade.
"Did you find anything?" Ah Ning asked curiously, looking at Gao Dongxu's upturned lips.
Seeing everyone staring at him with wide eyes and curiosity, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but smile and say, "I have indeed made some discoveries, but we still need to verify them."
As he spoke, Gao Dongxu pretended to reach into his waterproof bag and take out a Legalist bronze mirror, which he handed to A Ning. He said with a serious expression, "You will hold this bronze mirror in a while. If I faint, do not move me or call me. If there is any abnormality or strange noise, use this bronze mirror to look at yourself."
"Huh?!" Ah Ning exclaimed in surprise, staring wide-eyed at Gao Dongxu, somewhat at a loss for words.
"Do as I say." Gao Dongxu placed the Legalist bronze mirror in A Ning's hand and said in an unquestionable manner.
“Okay, alright—” A Ning gripped the Legalist bronze mirror in her hand and looked at Gao Dongxu with concern, asking, “You’ll be alright, won’t you?”
"No." Gao Dongxu gave A Ning a reassuring smile, then took out the magic whip and a small sealed bottle filled with red liquid.
Under the curious yet awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd, he opened the small bottle and poured the red liquid onto his right hand. The crowd smelled the blood and immediately understood that the red liquid was blood.
Gao Dongxu gripped the whip in his blood-soaked right hand and pulled, staining the entire whip with blood.
Gao Dongxu first glanced at Zhang the Bald. Since Zhang Qiling was still unwilling to reveal his identity, he couldn't expose him either. So, he turned his gaze to Jiang Zixia.
Jiang Zixia felt a little uneasy under Gao Dongxu's gaze and was at a loss for what to do when Gao Dongxu handed him the whip. Jiang Zixia was completely stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
The others stared at Gao Dongxu in disbelief, never expecting him to give the whip to Jiang Zixia.
“Take this. If anything strange happens and your sister’s bronze mirror doesn’t reflect it, immediately take the whip and whip around me. If anything strange happens, whip it as hard as you can. Can you do that?” Gao Dongxu said to Jiang Zixia with a serious expression.
"Uh?" Jiang Zixia first let out a soft "uh," then took the whip and said in a deep voice, "Yes—"
"Don't disappoint me." Gao Dongxu said calmly to Jiang Zixia, then looked at Wu Xie, Fatty Wang and Baldy Zhang and said, "In a moment, you guys surround me in the middle, with your backs to me, and I need to study this infant coffin."
"Young Master Gao, is there any danger?" Wu Xie felt a little uneasy seeing Gao Dongxu wielding both the bronze mirror and the magic whip. If something happened to him, even if they managed to escape alive, they wouldn't have a good life back home. "No, the threat might come from that little zombie, but with the bronze mirror and the magic whip, it's enough to deal with it." Gao Dongxu said, then gave Zhang the Bald a meaningful look.
Zhang the Bald changed his playful demeanor, his eyes bright as he met Gao Dongxu's gaze, giving a barely perceptible nod.
"Alright, now sit around here and keep a close eye on your surroundings. If you hear any unusual movements or sounds, use the bronze mirror to check. If you see nothing, then swing the magic whip." Gao Dongxu gave the instructions again, and then directed everyone to surround him.
After everyone was seated, Gao Dongxu looked at the double phoenix-carved infant coffin in front of him, closed the lid, and made a guess. That's why he decided to test the function of this artifact on the spot.
To avoid being pulled into the illusion, he had to take precautions in advance. Even without activating his spiritual energy, the Legalist bronze mirror could suppress corpses. With his magic whip and his mutated Qilin blood, even if it wasn't as powerful as Zhang Qiling's Qilin blood, it was enough to whip the little zombie until it was rolling on the ground.
"I'm about to begin, please help me, everyone—" Gao Dongxu said, then immediately closed his eyes, holding the infant coffin in one hand and the Congyun Treasure Seal that replenished spiritual energy in the other.
Under the curious gazes of everyone who turned around to look, Gao Dongxu fainted and collapsed onto the lid of the double-phoenix-carved infant coffin.
"Everyone on alert—" Upon seeing Gao Dongxu collapse, A Ning immediately shouted in a low voice, her whole body tense, her hand gripping the bronze mirror, her beautiful eyes flashing as she scanned the surroundings.
Although the others were curious about Gao Dongxu's sudden fainting, they also knew that this was not the time to be distracted. They all stared wide-eyed with goosebumps, extremely vigilant, at the tomb chamber that was brightly lit by six powerful flashlights.
Jiang Zixia was incredibly excited and thrilled. He gripped the magic whip tightly in his hand. Besides being pleasantly surprised by Gao Dongxu's trust in entrusting him with such an important task, he was also excited to be able to use the magic whip.
He wasn't stupid; he could naturally deduce that the magic whip in his hand was no ordinary object, capable of dealing with strange creatures and zombies. It was definitely a legendary magical artifact.
After some time, when the group realized that nothing unusual had happened and began to relax a little, Fatty Wang whispered, "Do you think there might not be any little zombies at all, and we're just scaring ourselves?"
Wu Xie's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a low voice, "It really is possible. When Young Master Gao wakes up, I'll tell him about your doubts. You're making a big fuss over nothing..."
Fatty Wang blushed slightly and said anxiously, "You naive fool, when did I ever say I questioned Young Master Gao..."
"Shut up--"
Just as Wu Xie was about to say something sarcastic to Fatty Wang, A Ning suddenly whispered a rebuke. As soon as she finished speaking, a large porcelain jar in another corner suddenly clattered to the ground, and everyone's hair stood on end.
Everyone held their breath, watching the jar nervously. The jar spun around a few times before rolling towards us with a gurgling sound.
Ah Ning's beautiful eyes widened, and her whole body tensed up as she immediately raised the bronze mirror in her hand and shone it on the rolling jar.
Then, in the next scene, everyone was so shocked by what they saw that their eyes widened, their mouths agape, completely dumbfounded.
The rolling jar rolled forward a few more times, but Ah Ning and the others stared intently at the back of the previously empty jar, where a baby, about fifty or sixty centimeters tall, with a body as white as jade, wearing a small red bib, and adorned with jade, gold, and silver ornaments on its neck, wrists, and ankles, was now revealed.
What's most horrifying is that the baby's face is chubby, with lips as bright red as blood, like a white porcelain doll, except that its eyes are bloodshot and there is a strange pattern drawn on its forehead, extending from the forehead to the corners of its eyes.
Upon closer inspection, the infant was completely bloodless, and there were some strange lines on its fair and jade-like body.
At this moment, it was staring intently at A Ning and the others with its blood-red eyes. However, it seemed to be frozen in place by the Legalist bronze mirror in A Ning's hand, unable to move at all.
"hiss--"
The frozen baby dumpling suddenly let out a shriek, opened its bright red, blood-red lips, revealing two rows of ferocious, sharp teeth, which frightened Wu Xie, Fatty Wang, and the others so much that they almost raised their guns to fire.
"Damn it, what the hell is this thing? It doesn't even look like a little rice dumpling! It can even turn invisible?!" When Fatty Wang saw the little rice dumpling frozen in place, remembering how he had almost wet his pants from fright, he stood up in a fit of rage, cursing and trying to get back at the boss.
"Don't move! If you block the mirror, it'll be harder to catch it later." Ah Ning immediately stopped Fatty Wang from acting recklessly. She didn't dare to get close to the little rice dumpling either. At this moment, she didn't dare to move her hand at all, worried that if she moved, the little rice dumpling would escape.
