Chapter 525 Wangcai, get up and eat!

"Whether it's reasonable or strange, since we're here and have run into it, we can't miss it," Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile.

"Haha, that's right, with Young Master Gao here, there are no taboos! Open the coffin—" Fatty Wang laughed excitedly as soon as he heard Gao Dongxu, the backbone of the family, support opening the coffin.

Tomb raiders can't help but get their hands on a coffin, especially one as imposing as this; it's bound to contain a lot of good stuff.

Wu Xie could only offer a wry smile. Since Gao Dongxu supported opening the coffin, he said nothing more. Just as Fatty Wang had said, with such a master as Gao Dongxu by his side, he could indeed do whatever he wanted without any taboos.

Just as Fatty Wang was calling to Jiang Zisuan and Wu Xie to prepare to open the coffin together, Zhang Qiling suddenly waved his hand and said softly, "Don't speak."

Seeing his serious expression, the men quickly shut up, wondering what had happened. He drew his gun and said softly, "This is no ordinary coffin; it's a corpse-raising coffin."

The group frowned, not understanding, and looked at him with confusion, but he didn't want to explain further and hurriedly ran to the coffin.

Silent Bottle pulled out his military knife and inserted it directly into the seam of the coffin, slowly scraping it as if searching for some mechanism. Fatty Wang thought he was going to open the coffin and shouted, "Slow down, slow down! You're usually so honest, why are you acting like you don't care about your life when you see a coffin?" As he spoke, he took out a candle and ran to a corner to light it.

Wu Xie was furious when he saw this and yelled, "You fatso, we only have this much air left, and you still want to light candles? Are you out of your mind?"

"You tomb raiders are so rough. Do you even know what rules are? No tomb raiding when the rooster crows and the lamp goes out..." the fat man said irritably. "Besides, how much air can a candle burn for you? At worst, I'll just take a few less breaths and give it to you."

As he spoke, he lit the windproof lighter in his hand. The light suddenly illuminated something in the corner. Fatty, who was usually quite brave, was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Wu Xie and A Ning saw him fall and quickly shone their strong flashlights on him, and they also shrank back in fright.

In that corner crouched a shriveled dead cat, unusually large in size, but already in a mummified state. Its two eyes stared straight at the fat man, most of its skin had peeled off, and its jaw was open, revealing a row of fangs, making it look very unsettling.

The fat man saw nothing but a cat corpse, cursed under his breath, kicked it aside, lit a candle, and walked toward the coffin.

Wu Xie felt something was getting increasingly strange and couldn't help but remind them, "There's a cat corpse in the tomb. Aren't you afraid it will rise from the dead?"

Gao Dongxu then spoke up, saying, "It seems that Wang Zanghai is deliberately doing things against the rules, doing everything the opposite of what is allowed in the tomb. He puts in things that are not allowed in the tomb chamber. If this continues, who knows what kind of trouble we will encounter in the main tomb."

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's words, Wu Xie frowned and pondered. Just then, Zhang Qiling found the Eight Treasures Exquisite Lock on the coffin, took out the Treasure Box, and used the two hooks inside to hook into the seam of the coffin. With a click, the mechanism was broken, and at the same time, the entire coffin lid sprang up, and a stream of black water instantly gushed out.

The fat man, ignoring his disgust, pushed open the coffin lid, looked inside, and screamed in horror, "Holy crap, so many rice dumplings!"

As soon as the coffin lid was opened, a stench wafted out, and everyone covered their mouths and noses. Gao Dongxu took out two gas masks, handed one to A Ning, and put one on himself.

Ah Ning took the gas mask, gave Gao Dongxu a seductive look, put it on with a smile, and then leaned closer to look. She saw that the coffin was full of black water, with water vapor swirling around it and steam rising from it. Below, she could vaguely see limbs crisscrossing, and she didn't know how many corpses were inside. They had all turned to wax and stuck together, forming a huge piece of body. She could count more than a dozen of them with her bare hands. The scene was incredibly disgusting.

When Zhang Qiling saw this, he frowned, but his expression relaxed, and he lowered the gun in his hand. Judging from his change, the thing probably wasn't dangerous. I wonder what he was so nervous about just now.

Inside the coffin were several rows of dark gold round nails, spaced a few centimeters apart from top to bottom. In the water, it was impossible to tell whether they were pure gold or gilded. Beneath the body parts was a strange object; the fat man shone his flashlight upwards inch by inch, and it appeared to be a stone slab with inscriptions. Jade and ivory artifacts were found among the corpses and on their hands—items of immense value and easily portable.

The fat man was itching to see it, but the corpse was too disgusting. No matter how reckless he was, he didn't dare to put his hand into the coffin, which was covered in a layer of human oil, to retrieve anything. He pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, so he had to give up and instead studied the corpse inside. As he looked at it, he shook his head and said, "This is too damn tragic. They say Wang Zanghai was a Taoist, but they've put out such sinister things. How could he possibly have attained enlightenment? He deserves to be the target of our tomb raiding."

Wu Xie, Jiang Zisuan, and A Ning were so shocked by the scene that they dared not look at it a second time.

Ah Ning couldn't help but look at Gao Dongxu and ask, "Why is this joint burial coffin so disgusting?"

Before Gao Dongxu could speak, Fatty Wang chuckled: "Hehe, this thing was obviously buried alive. These people were piled together, drugged, and suffocated inside. This is called 'preserving life force and hiding the corpse'."

"vomit--"

Finally, Jiang Zisuan was so disgusted that he covered his mouth and started gagging.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Xie also vomited.

Gao Dongxu saw Zhang Qiling staring blankly at the pile of body parts. He stared for a long time, then suddenly seemed to realize something and gasped.

This person is usually very calm, but when he gets nervous, something big is bound to happen. So when he made this move, both Fatty Wang and A Ning were startled and quickly ducked down to raise their guns.

He stood there, his brow furrowed, staring intently at the coffin, remaining silent for a full five minutes before turning to the crowd and saying, "There's actually only one person inside—"

"What?!" The group was dumbfounded. A person with more than a dozen arms? What kind of monster was that? Gao Dongxu calmly took out pots and pans from his spatial storage and said to the group, "Each of you take one and scoop out this black water. Let's take a good look at what kind of monster it is—"

Wu Xie, Fatty Wang, and Jiang Zisuan's lips twitched a few times, then they stepped forward with wry smiles to grab the useful tools. Finally, Gao Dongxu threw the remaining soup bowl to Zhang Qiling.

Zhang Qiling took the soup bowl, looked at the smirking faces of Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi, and Jiang Zisuan, twitched his lips a few times, and then silently began to scoop water.

The four men scooped water together, and soon the body parts floated to the surface. The fat man took a closer look and was horrified. It turned out that what he thought were tumors of the head were actually the woman's fat heart, so fat that it hung down and dragged on the twisted torso. The fat man was dumbfounded. He never expected that this was actually a female corpse.

However, logically, since there are 12 hands, there should be 12 consciences, but there are only five on the front. Could there be more on the back? They pondered how to lift the corpse out of the coffin.

The fat man first tried to use his gun as a hook to pull the corpse out, but the corpse was too soft, and the body was almost entirely waxed, so slippery that there was nowhere to put his grip. Wearing gloves made it even worse to use his hands; it was like squeezing soap, and a layer of oil would come off as soon as he squeezed it, which was disgusting.

In the end, Zhang Qiling came up with a solution. They took off their clothes, one person wrapped her head and the other wrapped her feet, and used a gun to make a carrying pole. The two of them lifted her out and put her on the ground.

Under the intense light of the searchlight, the corpses quickly dried and turned black, allowing them to see clearly. The others had been cut off, leaving several large scars on their sides. Her body wasn't twisted, but rather piled up like a mountain due to the fat covering her body.

Looking at the woman's enormous belly, Gao Dongxu didn't believe it was due to obesity. He remembered very clearly that there was a white-haired drought demon inside the woman's belly.

However, Gao Dongxu did not remind the others, because he still needed them to fish out the white-haired drought demon to give his newly subdued evil child a treat.

That's right, an extra meal!
For the evil child, the blood of zombies, drought demons, and blood corpses are all sources of its evolution. However, compared to these monsters, the evil child's power is still too weak to devour them. It usually requires the help of sorcerers for the evil child to continuously devour and evolve, becoming stronger.

The evil child that Gao Dongxu subdued was undoubtedly in a weak stage. Although it had the special ability to become invisible, it was simply wishful thinking to deal with and devour the drought demon.

This also explains why, in the original storyline, Xie Tong used those bottles to lure Wu Xie and his group to this tomb chamber. He probably wanted to use Wu Xie and his group to fight the drought demon, and then reap the benefits.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiling had too many concerns and simply ran away with Fatty Wang, thwarting Xie Tong's plan.

After the body was carried out, the stone tablet underneath was revealed. Zhang Qiling said it was a coffin-pressing stone, meant to prevent the coffin from floating should the airtight structure of the underwater tomb be damaged. The coffin-pressing stone was very rough, with only one row of large characters carved on it.

The fat man glanced at it a few times but couldn't understand it, so he called over Wu Xie. Wu Xie frowned and looked at it for a while before saying, "Take it out and let me study it carefully."

"Damn it. How can you move something this heavy? Do you even know where you are?" Fatty Wang complained.

At this moment, Zhang Qiling reached into the coffin, tapped the stone tablet, and frowned, saying, "It's hollow—"

Upon hearing this, the group immediately took out kerosene lighters to melt all the pine resin, then moved the stones aside, revealing a large hole underneath. Although the fat man was rather burly, he was very experienced, and he was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close. "Damn, this is a robber's hole!"

This is an explosive discovery. Putting aside other aspects, the location of this tomb raider's tunnel is unparalleled. It actually dug directly under the coffin. If it weren't for the coffin-pressing stone, the body inside would probably have been dragged into the tunnel long ago. The most bizarre thing is that this tomb is located at the bottom of the sea. How was this tomb raider's tunnel dug?

This plunged the whole affair into mystery once again. As everyone fell silent, Zhang Qiling, who was squatting beside the female corpse studying it, suddenly shouted, "Oh no!"

Everyone looked over and saw that Zhang Qiling's left hand was being tightly gripped by a small, hairy hand that had emerged from the woman's corpse.

Everyone was shocked to find a dead infant inside the woman's belly. Five black finger marks were immediately left on Zhang Qiling's wrist.

“Poisonous—” Zhang Qiling jerked his wrist, breaking free from the white-haired little hand.

At this moment, Fatty Wang, A Ning, and Jiang Zisuan had all raised their guns and aimed them at the woman's stomach, ready to fire at any moment.

"Don't shoot, you won't kill him, run!"

Without saying a word, Zhang Qiling got up and jumped into the hole in the coffin. Wu Xie and Fatty Wang also rushed to climb into the coffin.

Only A Ning and Jiang Zisuan looked at Gao Dongxu, who had a calm expression. Gao Dongxu smiled slightly, reached out and wiped the open ground, and the double phoenix coffin appeared.

Then he opened the coffin lid, drew a dagger, pricked his index finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and placed it on the rune between the boy's eyebrows. He said calmly, "Wangcai, get up and eat—"

A Ning and Jiang Zisuan stared wide-eyed, holding their breath, intently at the evil child who suddenly opened his eyes and stood up directly from the small coffin.
