Covering the Heavens: Fishing for the Heavens Starting from the Great Accomplished Holy Body
Chapter 44: Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, Officially Setting Sail
We chatted along the way, and it was quite lively.
Li Xiaoman didn't talk much. She exchanged a few words with Zhou Yi and Wang Ziwen, and her gaze occasionally swept over Ye Fan and Li Qingchen, revealing no emotion.
Pang Bo met up with them later, halfway up the mountain.
He was tall and burly with a loud voice. As soon as he arrived, he punched Ye Fan on the shoulder: "Not bad, Ye Fan. Who's this girl?"
"Her name is Li Qingchen, and she's my Uncle Li's daughter!"
Ye Fan introduced, "Qingchen, this is Pang Bo, my best friend."
"Hello, Brother Pangbo!"
Li Qingchen greeted him with a smile.
"Okay, okay!"
Pang Bo chuckled and leaned closer to Ye Fan, lowering his voice, "Is she really your sister? You better not make a mistake!"
Ye Fan shoved him away impatiently: "Get out of here!"
......
The group chatted and laughed, and finally reached the summit of Jade Emperor Peak as dusk approached.
The wind was strong at the mountaintop, making people's clothes flutter.
Looking into the distance, the sea of clouds churns and the setting sun, like blood, dyes the mountains a golden-red hue, creating a magnificent and extraordinary scene.
Everyone took out their phones and cameras to take pictures, remarking that the trip was worthwhile.
Li Qingchen also ran to the edge of the cliff, opened her arms, and let the mountain wind fill her clothes, her dark green ponytail flying in the wind.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Ye Fan walked over and said, "Be careful, don't get too close."
"Okay, Brother Ye."
Li Qingchen opened his eyes, his pupils sparkling in the sunset. "This place is so nice. I can see so far, and it makes my heart feel so open."
Pang Bo came over with several bottles of water and handed them out: "Come on, have some water. We'll find a place to eat later. I've heard there's a good restaurant on the mountaintop..."
Before he could finish speaking, something unexpected happened.
Without warning, at the edge of the sky, next to the setting sun that was about to sink into the sea of clouds, the void suddenly twisted.
Immediately afterwards, nine enormous black shadows, like ink marks tearing through a painting, appeared out of thin air and plummeted rapidly toward the summit of Mount Tai!
"What is that?!"
"My God, is it a dragon?!"
"Ah, run!"
......
Exclamations erupted instantly as everyone witnessed the mind-blowing scene.
Nine black dragon corpses, hundreds of meters long, were cold and ferocious, with broken horns and shattered scales. They pulled a huge bronze coffin covered with rust and ancient engravings behind them, and with a devastating force, they broke through the clouds and crashed straight down!
An indescribable, terrifying pressure, like a tangible tsunami, crashed down from the heavens.
The air froze instantly, the light distorted, and the sound vanished.
Everyone seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand, frozen in place, their thoughts almost completely halted.
Only Li Qingchen, at the moment the dragon's might descended, instinctively tensed up for a moment, a faint golden light flashing in her emerald eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
Her face showed the same astonishment as everyone else's. She looked up at the rapidly enlarging dragon shadow and bronze coffin, her mind racing: "Father only told me to come and play with Brother Ye, he never mentioned this..."
The bronze coffin fell at a seemingly slow speed, but in reality, it was faster than anyone could imagine.
Almost as soon as everyone saw it, the next instant, accompanied by a muffled thud that made the entire Mount Tai tremble slightly, the ancient coffin crashed heavily onto the ruins of an ancient altar on the other side of Jade Emperor Peak.
Earth and rocks shot into the sky, and smoke and dust filled the air.
However, the anticipated landslide and earthquake did not occur.
The bronze coffin seemed to be lifted by an invisible force, and it came to a steady stop after landing, with only the surrounding ground cracking open with countless spiderweb-like fissures.
Nine dragons lay across the ground, their corpses menacing. The ancient bronze coffin exuded an aura of antiquity and death, standing silently amidst the setting sun and billowing dust, creating a bizarre and awe-inspiring scene.
After a brief silence, there was an even more chaotic screaming and running.
"Run!"
"Hurry down the mountain!"
"Get out of here!"
......
Ye Fan was also shocked by the scene before him, and his mind trembled violently.
But he quickly forced himself to calm down and shouted to his panicked classmates, "Pang Bo, Zhou Yi, everyone stay calm, retreat towards the cable car! Qing Chen, stay close..."
He called out and turned back to look for Li Qingchen, only to find that the green figure that had been standing on the edge of the cliff was no longer there.
Ye Fan's heart tightened, and he quickly scanned the area.
Just then, the lid of the bronze coffin silently slid open a crack after it hit the ground.
An even more ancient, desolate, and seemingly all-consuming dark aura surged forth from the crevice like a tide.
Immediately afterwards, an irresistible and powerful suction force suddenly erupted!
Centered on the ancient coffin, all the people, rubble, and even light on the mountaintop were violently pulled towards it by this suction force.
"what!"
"Help!"
Screams and cries filled the air as the crowd, like leaves in a storm, were involuntarily drawn towards the open bronze coffin.
Ye Fan only had time to grab onto a broken stone railing, but the railing shattered instantly.
He, along with Pang Bo, Zhou Yi, Wang Ziwen, Lin Jia, Li Xiaoman, and others nearby, were swept into that bottomless darkness.
thump!
thump!
Everyone fell into the bronze coffin like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
In the chaos, no one noticed that behind a broken stele a dozen meters away from the bronze coffin, Li Qingchen poked half his head out, his emerald green eyes blinking as he watched his classmates being sucked in one by one.
She didn't look scared at all; on the contrary, she seemed eager to try.
"It seems... kind of fun?"
She muttered something to herself, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention.
Then, she lightly touched the broken stone tablet with her toes.
The slender figure seemed weightless, silently gliding through the chaotic air, precisely avoiding several flying pebbles, and with a very light, even elegant, posture, steadily "floating" into the open gap of the bronze coffin.
The movements were fluid and natural, as if he were simply walking through an ordinary door.
After she went inside, she also straightened the backpack straps that had been blown askew by the strong wind.
After everyone entered, the coffin lid slammed shut, sealing it perfectly.
The last glimmer of light vanished, and utter darkness and deathly silence enveloped everything.
Only the occasional chill emanating from the bronze coffin walls, seemingly from ancient times, reminded everyone of their location.
"Ye Zi, Ye Zi, are you alright?"
Pang Bo's trembling voice came from the darkness.
"I'm fine..."
Ye Fan answered breathlessly, then anxiously lowered his voice and called out, "Qingchen? Li Qingchen? Are you there?"
"Yes, yes, Brother Ye, I'm here!"
Li Qingchen's voice rang out from a little further away, sounding clear and steady, even carrying a hint of relief as if he had just squeezed onto the bus and found a seat: "I'm fine, it's just a bit dark."
Hearing her voice, Ye Fan felt a weight lifted from his heart.
Although it was strange that she hadn't been nearby, he didn't have time to think about it at the moment.
