I'm not just human!

Just seeing his expression, especially so different from his previous seriousness, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that there was probably no danger.

So, they all flashed to the side of the black gold coffin.

The avid tomb raider then groped on the coffin lid with both hands, and then, as if he had found a key, he slapped the coffin with one hand, and rivets immediately popped out of the coffin.

Xia Fa noticed that there were exactly seventy-seven, which matched the number of the celestial constellations.

Then, the fanatical tomb raider pushed with both hands and opened the coffin lid.

Even the most composed person among them, "Philosophy Pencil," couldn't hold back any longer. The book around his neck immediately flew up into the air and peered into the coffin.

Xia Fa naturally wouldn't pretend to be reserved, and he also looked at the coffin. Fortunately, he was quite tall in his Chaos Throne state, more than three meters high, so he could see it with just a peek.

But immediately, everyone present, including the fanatical tomb raider, was stunned.

"What... is going on?"

The Crimson Demon Tree murmured, as if it could hardly believe what it was seeing.

Inside the coffin, there were first and foremost secret contracts piled up. There were more than ten overlord-level secret contracts, but they were all from the "Primordial Stomach," "Star Spirit Master," and "Forge of All Things," with several of each.

In addition, countless high-level and ordinary secret contracts were stacked in a circle like piles of paper, all made of animal hide, and the hides chosen were very thin, seemingly just for easy stacking.

With just a glance, Xia Fa spotted high-level secret contracts such as "Ancient Demon Blood Secret", "Master of Astrology", "Gale and Shadow", "Mountain Demon Devouring", and "Blood Sea Source Eye", as well as ordinary secret contracts such as "Tentacle Secret Contract" and "Ice Secret Contract".

At the center of the tightly packed circle of items was a high-quality black bag, a toothbrush, and a piece of iron ore.

This black bag is actually woven from metal threads made of mithril mixed with eternal vortex silicon and aluminum. The black bag itself is probably worth more than 20 million gold pounds.

As for the toothbrush and the iron ore... Xia Fa clearly felt that the toothbrush gave him a very attractive and intimate feeling, while the iron ore gave him a very repulsive and disgusting feeling.

"There really are two kinds of eternal certificates? However, I can only use one of them..."

The thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before Xia Fa turned his attention to the real issue.

The opened black gold coffin was completely empty, containing nothing but the secret contract and the black bag—two eternal proofs.

That's right, and most importantly, the corpse of that quasi-celestial being was nowhere to be found!

The black gold coffin looked exceptionally clean and tidy, as if no corpse had ever been placed inside it.

This matter is far too bizarre and defies common sense. In a quasi-celestial tomb disguised as "Lingtian" and with "Shennie" as its main burial layout, the body of the tomb's occupant has vanished from the only coffin in the main burial chamber, despite everything being prepared...

For no apparent reason, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, a cold sweat running down their backs, and a general sense of dread.

Even the most fervent tomb raiders were immediately alarmed; their expressions changed drastically, their brows furrowing in a serious expression.

"No, no, something's missing, something very important is missing..."

【Crimson Demon Tree】is a bold and straightforward person, and without thinking, asked:

"What's missing? Could it be that this quasi-Celestial Venerable already underwent a zombie transformation but didn't ascend to higher levels, and instead escaped on his own?"

Such a thing is possible. If it is just a simple corpse transformation, then it has become a being in the realm of the dead. Although it is still a quasi-celestial being, it may be directly controlled by the holder of eternal certificates such as [Eternal Death], [Eternal Corpse Transformation], and [Eternal Undead], and will be unable to resist.

Not to mention the undead creatures transformed from the corpses of quasi-celestial beings... whether in the first 20,000 years when the nine righteous gods ruled the entire universe, or in the third 30,000 years when the false nine righteous gods appeared, such extremely dangerous beings would be immediately eliminated.

The Philosophy Pencil, at this point, seemed somewhat speechless:

"How is that possible? If it really was that quasi-celestial being who transformed into a corpse and escaped, how come this black gold coffin is still intact?"

The Crimson Demon Tree suddenly seemed to realize something:

"That makes sense..."

Xia Fa was also pondering this. The main reason was that being in the tomb of a Quasi-Celestial Venerable but not being able to see the body of this Quasi-Celestial Venerable was a chilling thought. If he couldn't find out the reason, he had no idea what kind of danger he would encounter next.

Involuntarily, the various events that had occurred since he entered this quasi-celestial tomb flashed through his mind.

Each side room was exactly the same, and all of them were made of piles of flesh and blood, and all of them were empty...

A tomb passage stained with black blood, its walls flanked by side chambers like these...

The oval-shaped burial chamber was covered in wrinkled, fleshy tissue, and submerged in a ghastly green, highly corrosive acid...

This oval-shaped burial chamber only leads to the upper passageway...

And, in the middle section of this smooth passageway leading upwards, once broken open, you'll find the main burial chamber, a peach-shaped main burial chamber...

Furthermore, within this peach-shaped main burial chamber, there are several areas separated by high walls…

All the clues, all the encounters, all the things seen and heard, all came together in Xia Fa's mind at this moment.

"Cells, blood vessels, blood, stomach, gastric juice, esophagus, heart, ventricles..."

As he pondered, he uttered these medical terms.

"What did you say?"

The Crimson Demon Tree seemed completely oblivious, and moved closer to Xia Fa involuntarily.

"【Absolute Attack】Little brother, are you about to lose control?"

"What did you say?"

The fanatical tomb raider suddenly turned around, his eyes gleaming, and looked at Xia Fa.

Xia Fa repeated it again:

"Cells, blood vessels, blood, stomach, gastric juice, esophagus, heart, ventricles... this place is—"

thump!

thump!

thump!

At that moment, a tremendous heartbeat resounded, as if the entire peach-shaped main burial chamber was shaking.

The collapsed high walls, as if engorged with blood, began to grow upwards, quickly connecting to the ceiling of the main burial chamber, and indeed, they took on a pinkish hue.

The floor, ceiling, and walls of the main burial chamber vibrated in rhythm with the heartbeat, contracting and expanding intermittently.

A thunderous roar, like the rushing of a river, emanated from beneath their feet, carrying with it the sweet, pungent smell of blood.

Accompanying all this was an extremely powerful yet strangely strange death aura, as well as the aura of a quasi-Celestial Venerable transforming into a Celestial Venerable, which permeated from all directions.

"This tomb...this tomb is the very corpse of that quasi-Celestial Venerable! Because of our entry, He is about to undergo a transformation and ascend to a higher level!"

The fanatical tomb raider finally made his judgment. With a single scoop, he scooped up all the treasures from the black gold coffin. At the same time, he threw the toothbrush-shaped Eternal Token directly to Xia Fa, and then let out a loud shout!

"run!"

The golden coffin opened, sucking Xia Fa, the Crimson Demon Tree, and the Philosophy Pencil all inside. The fanatical tomb raider also rushed in. With a "bang," the golden coffin slammed shut.

At that moment, everyone clearly felt that streams of blood, like rivers, gushed up from below the main burial chamber, and the golden coffin instantly transformed into a small boat, floating on the sea of ​​blood.

"Once this Quasi-Celestial Venerable truly undergoes a transformation and ascends to the Celestial Venerable level, we will all be absorbed as nourishment during his transformation. The most urgent task now is to escape, to escape first and think about the future!"

The fanatical tomb raider spoke urgently, glancing at the three men at the same time.

"Everyone, I need your help. Just pour divine power into my body."

None of the three asked any further questions; each of them extended a hand and placed it on the back of the fanatical tomb raider.

The Crimson Tree and the Philosophy Pencil immediately sensed an extremely powerful suction force coming from the back of the fanatical tomb raider. The immense power of the Outer God within them instantly flooded into the fanatical tomb raider's body.

Xia Fa's hand had just touched the back of the fanatical tomb raider when the fanatical tomb raider seemed to sense something, let out a "Huh," and turned his head.

"You're wearing a rope of flesh and blood for survival? You actually have such a treasure?!"

The fanatical tomb raider's expression clearly brightened with surprise, as if he had found a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.

Xia Fa immediately said:

"Yes, it was given to me by a senior, this rope of flesh and blood for survival..."

As he spoke, he pulled out the flesh-and-blood survival rope hidden in his platinum arm and handed it directly to the fanatical tomb raider.

The avid tomb raider took it with one hand, his eyes gleaming, and said:

"This is a treasure! It's a sealed artifact that can only be formed by chance in an extremely unique burial environment. With this, we'll at least be able to escape. The only question is whether we can evade the pursuit of this quasi-celestial being who is about to successfully transform into a zombie and ascend to the next level."

With a casual flick of his wrist, the rope of flesh and blood, like a whip, cracked in the air with a "snap," then twisted and rose like a snake, merging into the golden coffin.

Although they were confined inside the golden coffin, their spiritual intuition could still extend outwards, allowing them to be alert to potential dangers at any time.

At that very moment, everyone, including Xia Fa, clearly sensed that the golden coffin was wrapped with a thick hemp rope, as thick as an elephant's leg.

The thick hemp rope stretched straight up, reaching the main tomb chamber's ceiling, which had turned a bright red, fleshy red.

Immediately, the thick hemp rope, seemingly from nowhere, suddenly pulled upwards.

It felt as if an invisible giant had used this rope to lasso the golden coffin containing everyone and was pulling it with all his might!

A strong sense of weightlessness surged up, and Xia Fa felt himself rising rapidly inside the golden coffin, smashing through layers of flesh and blood barriers.

These fleshy barriers had actually come to life long ago, expanding and contracting at their own frequencies. Some of the flesh or blood had transformed into tentacles, trying to entangle the golden coffin, but to no avail.

With a loud "thump," as if they had crashed through some kind of extremely hard bone wall, the thick smell of blood vanished instantly, and Xia Fa and the others inexplicably felt refreshed.

That was the aura of the Protoss Realm, filled with extraordinary power, that I was breathing again.

With a snap, the golden coffin lid opened.

Xia Fa finally got a clear look at the exterior of this quasi-celestial being's tomb.

In the vibrant, oil-painting-like starry sky, amidst countless phantom planets and wandering celestial spirits, there stood a stone sphere comparable in size to a planet.

At first glance, the stone sphere looked like a dodecahedron, with each face displaying a dark gold color and covered with all sorts of strange murals carved on it.

Strangely, only half of this planet-sized dodecahedral stone sphere is exposed in the Protoss Realm, while the other half seems to be hidden in the void.

The next moment, the surface of the stone ball began to crack, and stone slabs fell off one by one.

The massive, planet-like stone sphere quickly had its outer shell peeled away completely, revealing a three-headed giant sleeping soundly with his knees drawn up inside.

Or rather, it's not in a deep sleep, but already dead, but about to undergo a transformation and be upgraded!

The giant was as large as a planet, with grayish-black skin. It not only had three heads, but each head also had three eyes, with an extra one on its forehead.

However, there was a small hole in the crown of His head, which was the place where the golden coffin containing everyone had flown out.

Just then, the three giants awoke, or rather, completely transformed into zombies, raising their three heads and turning towards Xia Fa and the others.

In that instant, Xia Fa felt a sudden pain in his spine, and an unimaginable amount of strange electric current surged out, directly coursing through his entire body, with most of it merging into his cerebral cortex.

This allowed Xia Fa to avoid the consequences of losing control before he even felt them. However, the Crimson Demon Tree and the Philosophy Pencil were not so lucky.
