In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

Zaxi's terrified appearance further dampened the morale of Aning's men.

"Ghost ship?"

"Brothers, he said it's a ghost ship..."

"What should we do? Could it be dangerous?"

Ah Ning's men exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.

Su Mo, with his ears open, observed everyone's reactions.

When Su Mo saw Zaxi's innocent and somewhat pitiful expression, he frowned.

This Zaxi is truly a terrible teammate. Of all the tour guides Su Mo has ever met, he is the worst. After listening to Zaxi ramble on for so long, all he could come up with was that there was a naughty child in the wooden boat.

As for the causes, consequences, and legends, Zaxi did not convey any of them. The only thing he conveyed was the atmosphere of fear and tension at the scene.

The whole team was driven crazy by Zaxi.

Su Mo approached Zaxi expressionlessly and asked, "Do you know what we're doing?"

"I asked you to help, but you've only caused trouble the whole way. Don't you think it's too easy for you to make money as a tour guide?"

Zaxi was stunned by Su Mo's words, but he still showed no intention of continuing. Aning glared at him angrily, then gritted her teeth and said, "Wait for us here. If you dare to leave, don't even think about leaving alive!"

Ah Ning said to the rest of the group, "Let's go up and take a look; there should be some clues on this ship..."

The group walked cautiously toward the ancient ship.

Chapter 418: The Horrifying Ancient Ship

To reach the ancient wooden boat, one must climb up the Gobi Desert on either side.

Ah Ning instructed her deputy, "Old Tang, you wait downstairs, leave someone to provide backup!"

The second-in-command, Tang Dao, was the same person who helped Wu Xie translate the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish at the Heavenly Palace in the Cloud Top.

"Ok!"

Tang Dao nodded and replied, "Okay!"

Su Mo said to Chaos and the others, "Let's go, let's go take a look..."

After saying that, Su Mo used his lightness skill to climb up quickly.

Chaos and the others followed closely behind.

Wu Xie and A Ning were a little slower because they didn't know any light-footed skills.

The wooden boat was neither too big nor too small, and was about twenty meters long.

After scanning the area roughly, Su Mo shone his flashlight on the floor and said, "This ship is badly damaged, and there's a hole here. Everyone watch your step!"

Chaos squatted down beside the hole in the floor and said, "There seems to be something below the hole. It looks like this level is the deck. Master Su, I'll go down and take a look!"

Su Mo nodded.

With Su Mo's approval, Chaos quickly jumped down.

After ensuring their safety, everyone jumped down without hesitation and landed in the cabin below.

From the outside, the wooden boat looked quite ordinary, but once everyone got off, they discovered that the internal structure of the boat was actually quite complex.

Just as everyone was preparing to continue their exploration, the walkie-talkie in Aning's hand suddenly emitted a static sound, a whirring noise, like a ghostly message.

Everyone's hearts tightened, and they all looked down.

A few seconds later, the static from the walkie-talkie suddenly disappeared.

"..."

Everyone looked at each other.

Apart from Su Mo and Chaos, who were frequent tomb raiders, everyone else looked terrified.

"Everyone be careful..."

Su Mo called out to everyone, and then walked towards the square passageway.

The interior of the passageway, or rather the interior of the wooden boat, was in much worse condition than the exterior.

Outside, the overall design of the wooden boat and the damage to the deck were not too severe.

However, the interior of the wooden boat, including the square passageway where the group was, was completely destroyed.

Su Mo walked slowly through the passage. Through the dilapidated wooden walls on both sides, he could see small rooms inside the wooden walls, and many ceramic jars inside the small rooms.

Although these ceramic jars are antiques, they are not very valuable; their significance lies more in their function as storage containers.

Thinking of this, Su Mo activated his Golden Eyes and instantly saw the situation inside the pottery jar.

Wow!

Surprisingly, not all of them were red corpse beetles!

The sheer number is astonishing!

"..."

Su Mo's lips twitched slightly. He was speechless and curious about where the Queen Mother of the West had found so many Corpse Beetle Kings. Could it be that she had found a place to raise and breed them?

Su Mo gave a few words of advice to everyone.

Upon hearing that it was the Corpse Beetle King, everyone quickly retreated to the side.

When the corpse beetle goes to war, not a blade of grass grows.

The thought of that densely packed scene sent chills down everyone's spines.

"Walk…"

Su Mo gave Chaos a look.

Chaos led the group carefully past the jars. After walking for about ten minutes, another coffin appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

Ah Ning stared at the coffin carefully for a while, then said, "This coffin is quite old..."

Su Mo said in a deep voice, "Coffins from before the Han Dynasty!"

Wu Xie chimed in, "This coffin really reminds me of the lacquered tombs of the Han Dynasty. First, the body is placed inside, then sealed and covered with lacquer, and finally patterns are carved on the lacquer..."

"However, this coffin wasn't made of lacquer, but rather something like a mixture of clay, sand, and lime!"

Ah Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Since it's a coffin, we have to open it. Maybe there are clues about the Queen Mother of the West's palace inside!"

Su Mo and Wu Xie nodded, agreeing with A Ning's point of view.

One of them was the sole descendant of the Wu family of the Nine Gates, and the other was the head of the Tomb Raiders, the Tomb Raider General. After years of tomb raiding, they had long since lost interest in coffins.

Ah Ning circled the coffin once, then immediately asked, "How do we open it?"

Wu Xie said, "I do have a way..."

As he spoke, Wu Xie took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it, and began to smoke the area above the coffin. After a while, the patterns on the coffin finally showed signs of melting.

"Come!"

Wu Xie said to A Ning beside him, "Water it!"

A Ning took out a water bottle and poured water over the spot where Wu Xie had just smoked the coffin. Then, Wu Xie took out a dagger and carefully began to make cuts on the top of the coffin.

A few minutes later!

Wu Xie stopped what he was doing and exclaimed in surprise, "We found the coffin lid!"

Ah Ning smiled slightly: "Continue, make the seams in the coffin lid..."

Wu Xie continued to work diligently.

Another half hour passed.

Wu Xie finally finished his work, and the coffin lid could finally be opened freely.

"Boom!"

Just as Wu Xie and A Ning's men were about to open the museum, a strange noise suddenly came from behind them!

"..."

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.

"Boom!"

In the dim and cramped space, the sudden noise resounded in everyone's ears.

Apart from Su Mo and the four fierce generals, everyone else was startled and immediately stopped what they were doing, turning around to look.

But when I looked back, there wasn't a soul in sight.

"........."

At this moment, the atmosphere of fear among the crowd reached its peak!

Even Ah Ning felt a little panicked at this moment, and hurriedly shouted, "Hurry, open the coffin, find clues, and get out of here..."

The arrow is on the bowstring, and it must be released!

Everyone gritted their teeth and opened the coffin.

"Come on, one, two, three!"

With the combined efforts of Aning and the others, the coffin, which had been sealed for a thousand years, was opened.

As the coffin lid was pushed open, a foul odor emanated from it, causing everyone present to cover their mouths and noses, including Su Mo and the Four Fiends.

As the foul odor dissipated, the corpse inside the coffin, which had been perfectly preserved and showed no signs of decay, began to oxidize.

This scene was witnessed by A Ning's subordinates. Seeing the corpse begin to change, they immediately cried out in panic, "Corpse...corpse transformation!"

"Don't panic..."

Su Mo rebuked, "This isn't a zombie resurrection!"

"Swish"

With a gust of wind, the flesh and blood of the corpse turned into a skeleton.
