General of the Heavens

Chapter 103 The Giant Zongzi [Seeking Recommendations]

Hu Bayi felt that something was not quite right; things seemed to be going too smoothly. He had Wang Pangzi hold up a gun and then tie Ning Chen up with a rope.

Ning Chen did not offer any resistance during this time.

Ning Chen sat cross-legged in the corner, observing coldly. Of all the general's tombs, only the coffin of the tomb owner looked worth anything.

It is decorated with gold patterns.

The colors and design look quite unusual.

Hu Bayi said, "I reckon this general, after a lifetime of military service, only has this coffin left that's worth anything!"

Although Fatty Wang felt that treating Ning Chen this way was a bit inhumane, he thought about how he had come back and seen that his fellow villagers were penniless, and suddenly he felt that Ning Chen wasn't so pitiful after all.

Instead, he nudged Hu Bayi.

"Old Hu, don't say anything discouraging now. I believe there are treasures inside!" Fatty Wang said, inserting an entrenching tool into the gap in the coffin lid.

"No, we still need to light candles!"

Hu Bayi quickly stopped him, then took out a candle and lit it in the southeast corner. Since he considered himself a tomb raider, he couldn't break the rules.

Ning Chen curled his lip. This guy was obviously an amateur. Back when he was tomb raiding, he used windproof candles!

That's it? A complete newbie!

After the procedure was completed, Fatty Wang started to pry open the coffin lid, but after two forceful prying attempts, there was still no reaction.

Hu Ba kept calling Wang Pangzi an idiot. Then, he pulled out his entrenching tool to help. The two of them worked together to pry open the coffin, making creaking noises. Then, one by one, they pried up the coffin nails.

The two of them worked together to push open the coffin lid. Inside, they saw a tall male corpse lying in the coffin. At a rough glance, it was almost 2.3 or 2.4 meters tall. The body had been completely dehydrated, leaving only a purplish-brown dry skin covering the skeleton.

The male corpse's facial features were sunken, with his eyes, nose, and mouth all becoming black craters, but his face was still vaguely discernible, and he appeared to be around forty or fifty years old.

Looking at his attire, he was wearing a crown that pointed upwards, a red robe with blue trim and gold embroidery, and cloud-stepping boots. His hands were placed in front of his chest, holding a pair of jade discs.

"Oh~ this smell...it's so familiar..."

Ning Chen sensed the death aura from a great distance. Others might not be able to detect this aura, but Ning Chen, who cultivated the Nether Pill, had the most acute senses.

Ning Chen refined the two zombie inner cores he obtained from Ping Mountain in just one year. Without the zombie inner cores, Ning Chen's cultivation speed decreased drastically.

Later, he robbed several ancient tombs of feudal lord level and extracted a few zombie inner cores, thus continuing his cultivation of the Netherworld Core.

Over the course of ten years, Ning Chen's Nether Core cultivation has achieved some success, and his physique has also improved significantly, no less effective than the Golden Eyes' absorption of spiritual energy to strengthen his physique.

Moreover, after Ning Chen achieved some success with his Netherworld Pill, he seemed to possess a mysterious power, especially a strong deterrent against zombies.

Moreover, Ning Chen can perfectly control this power, and coupled with his proficiency in languages, zombies and giant zombies are actually powerful assistants to Ning Chen at certain times!

Upon seeing the corpse, Hu Bayi bowed repeatedly and said, "Brother, we are short of food and clothing and have no choice but to borrow a few items. Please forgive us!"

As the saying goes, dust to dust, ashes to ashes; money and jewels are things you can't take with you when you're born, and you can't take them with you when you die. There's not much use for you leaving these possessions behind..."

However, before Hu Bayi could finish his lines, Fatty Wang couldn't resist reaching inside and groping around in the coffin.

Ning Chen could clearly see that he wasn't wearing gloves!

So when Ning Chen saw this, he laughed, "Wow, it's a miracle Hu Bayi survived with a teammate like this!"

They hadn't found anything of value since entering the tomb, so after all that trouble, the two decided to look inside the coffin for something good.

Fatty Wang thoroughly examined the ancient corpse, and finally managed to extract two jade discs of emerald green from its hands, which he then carved into the shapes of two moths that resembled butterflies but were not quite butterflies.

"That's enough, let's go!"

While Hu Bayi was observing the changes in the candle flame, Fatty Wang was still not satisfied and wanted to pry open the ancient corpse's mouth to see if it had any gold teeth...

Hu Bayi kicked him away.

However, just as Fatty Wang turned to leave, Ning Chen clearly felt the deathly aura on the ancient corpse surge and spread instantly. At the same time, the candle in the southeast corner went out silently without anyone noticing.

The fat man walked over and looked at the candles on the ground, asking, "Old Hu, how much did each of those candles cost?"

The candles were bought by Hu Bayi in Beijing and brought back; he didn't really pay much attention to the price when he bought them.

"They're probably two cents each."

The fat man complained, "Why didn't you buy the cheaper ones, which cost five cents each? How could you buy such an important thing at a cheap price?"

Ning Chen, standing to the side, kindly suggested, "Hey, I have some windproof candles here, why don't you try them again?"

"Hey, Lao Hu, how about..."

Hu Bayi interrupted directly, saying, "No, next time I'll buy imported ones. I'll buy whichever is more expensive, American, Japanese, or German."

But now that the candles have gone out, according to the rules, shouldn't we put everything back exactly as it was?

Fatty Wang firmly disagreed. They had finally made it here, and the treasure was right in front of them. How could they just put it back like that?

Ning Chen also felt that they couldn't put the things back. "Exactly! So what if it's a ghost? Just do it! We shouldn't be afraid of any difficulties we encounter. That's the kind of spirit we need to keep fighting!"

Hu Bayi completely ignored Ning Chen's words and said, "Don't listen to him. How about this, we light the candles again, then put some random things in them and go back to discuss it with him..."

"Great idea!" said Fatty Wang.

Ning Chen is overjoyed. These two are such a rascal, they're both really talented, and they speak so well, it's a pity they're not doing crosstalk.

This was the first time Ning Chen had ever seen someone haggle with the tomb owner. If Zhang Sanlianzi and Hu Guohua knew this from the afterlife, they would be so angry that they would crawl out of the tomb and strangle Hu Bayi!

While the two idiots were fiddling with it, Yingzi pointed at the candle on the ground and suddenly exclaimed, "The flame... has turned green!"

Hu Bayi turned around and saw a bright green light that made people's faces look green. Finally, the green flames flickered twice and went out.

The three looked at each other in bewilderment, while Ning Chen clearly saw a large red-haired hand slowly emerge from the coffin. Then the ancient corpse sat up, and not only that, its red hair grew longer in the wind!

"Holy crap, a giant zombie!"

Hu Bayi used his entrenching tool to slice at the head of the giant rice dumpling. With a loud bang, Hu Bayi felt a sharp pain in his hand, but the giant rice dumpling was completely unharmed.

Fatty Wang picked up his hunting rifle, pulled the trigger, and the bullet shot out. A plume of smoke billowed from the muzzle, and when the smoke cleared, the giant rice dumpling was still intact!

"Run!"

At Hu Bayi's command, the three retreated, but the giant zongzi waved its right hand, and a coffin lid weighing several hundred pounds flew out, sealing the entrance.

The two-and-a-half-meter-tall red-haired giant stood up and chased after Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi, giving them a brutal beating, while Yingzi also launched a sneak attack with a gun from the side.

After maneuvering for most of the day, Hu Bayi suddenly realized, "Strange, why isn't this giant zombie attacking Ning Chen?"

Hu Bayi's eyes darted around, and he moved closer to Ning Chen. As the red-haired giant zombie got closer and closer, Ning Chen activated his Netherworld Core!

A mysterious and profound power emanated from it!

The red-haired giant rice dumpling paused, seemingly confused. At that moment, Ning Chen suddenly shouted, "How dare you! Get out of here right now!"

The giant rice dumpling actually took two or three steps back!

Then, to Hu Bayi's incredulous gaze, the red-haired giant rice dumpling turned its head and stretched out its sharp claws to attack him without hesitation!

Hu Bayi: "..."
