After finishing his barbecue and quickly brushing his teeth, Jiang Bai lay down in the solidified coffin, closed the lid, and drifted off to sleep.
It was dawn the next day.
The sun had not yet risen, but the light of day illuminated the earth.
The birds that had already woken up were chirping in the treetops, and Qiqi was the first to climb out of the tent.
She was a light sleeper and didn't need to sleep for long, so she woke up as soon as it was light.
Looking at the large stone coffin in front of her, she rubbed her eyes.
Looking again, the large stone coffin is still there.
She took two steps back in fear, worried that Hu Tao might be trying to use this to disguise her.
She hated death, and naturally disliked coffins, which symbolized death.
She had only been with them for a few days, and Jiang Bai had been sleeping in a tent every night, so she didn't know that Jiang Bai had a hobby of sleeping in a coffin.
She was genuinely frightened when she saw such a large coffin.
She walked far away from the large coffin, found a stream to wash up, and then squatted by the stream to look at her notebook.
When Hu Tao woke up and came out of the tent, he jogged over.
She pointed to the large coffin and asked, "Why is there a coffin?"
"You'll have to ask Jiang Bai about that."
Hu Tao shrugged, walked to the coffin, and lifted the lid, revealing Jiang Bai sleeping soundly inside.
Feeling the sudden brightness around him, Jiang Bai, who was still deep in sleep, turned over and covered his head with the blanket.
Qiqi walked over curiously, stood on tiptoe, and peeked into the coffin. She asked in confusion, "Why is he sleeping in a coffin?"
In her mind, only the dead sleep in coffins.
Is he dead?
"The coffin was actually quite comfortable, otherwise why do you think he was sleeping so soundly?"
Chapter 77: Scared to the point of having a heart attack
Hu Tao crossed her arms and looked down at Jiang Bai, who was sleeping soundly. Then, the next second, she started promoting the business of the Rebirth Hall to Qi Qi.
"How about it? Want to order a coffin and try sleeping in it? I guarantee it'll give you a unique experience!"
"No, no..." Faced with the enthusiastic Walnut, Qiqi waved her hands and backed away, hiding behind a rock.
A certain post-traumatic stress disorder is about to occur...
She really couldn't get along with this woman.
"Alright, alright..." Seeing Qiqi's resolute attitude, Hu Tao felt a little regretful.
She didn't want to scare Qiqi anymore, lest she scare her away.
What a great potential client, what a pity...
When the sales pitch failed, Hu Tao started waking Jiang Bai up.
"Get up! Get up! If you don't get up, the Hilichurls will come and beat you up!"
She took a feather she'd picked up from somewhere, lifted the blanket covering Jiang Bai's head, and slowly moved it around his nose, occasionally brushing it against his nose.
Jiang Bai felt a tickle in his nose while he was sleeping and sneezed.
Seeing that she couldn't wake him no matter what she did, Hu Tao held onto the edge of the coffin, put her head close to his ear, and whispered:
"If you don't get up soon, the Black and White Impermanence will come to take your soul!"
Jiang Bai wanted to cover his ears, but Hu Tao's words were like a demonic voice, forcibly pulling him out of his sleep.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Hu Tao's large face looking down at him at a 180-degree angle once again.
However, this large face was very close to him at the moment, and it was wearing a strange smile.
Startled, Jiang Bai shrank back abruptly, pulling the blanket over herself like a shy young wife, trying to distance herself from that face.
Unfortunately, the coffin was only so big, and he couldn't shrink much further.
He was so close that he could even feel Hu Tao's breath.
Jiang Bai felt his heart beating a little fast; his heart rate, which was usually very low, was pounding wildly at this moment.
Good heavens, that almost gave him a heart attack!
"The dignified master...you're too scary..." Jiang Bai said tremblingly, hugging the blanket even tighter.
Imagine waking up to find your boss staring intently at you from the side, practically right next to you. Who could stand that?
Weak, pitiful, and helpless.JPG
"Hahahaha, you've finally scared me!" Seeing Jiang Bai like this, Hu Tao straightened up, put her hands on her hips and laughed triumphantly.
Jiang Bai was truly terrified!
The little ghost emerged from her body, equally smug, hands on its hips.
Jiang Bai: (?o﹏o?)
Maybe next time he should just make the coffin completely sealed...
Jiang Bai considered the idea for a moment, then gave up on it.
He swore he didn't want to see Hu Tao's big face in front of him; he was just afraid that Hu Tao wouldn't be able to open his coffin lid and would resort to smashing it with a sledgehammer!
He pursed his lips, sat up from the coffin, and yawned.
After Hu Tao did that, I was wide awake.
He dared not blame Hu Tao for disturbing his peaceful sleep.
The world is vast, but the hall master is the greatest!
—This is the first rule in my survival manual.
"Master, what time is it now?"
Hu Tao waved her hand and said, "It's getting late. Get up quickly, eat breakfast, and then get to work."
"Okay..." Jiang Bai knew he couldn't escape this task, and there was no point in dragging it out. He should finish it as soon as possible and go home.
After calming his abnormally rapid heartbeat, he crawled out of the coffin, took out the bedding, and the coffin, shaped from rock elements, turned into particles and dissipated into the air.
Walnut put the bedding into her ring and took out a few meat patties.
After washing up, heat the food slightly over a fire, mix it with warm water, and have a simple breakfast.
The three of them assigned positions, each going in one direction, and split into three groups to smash all the amber they saw.
If we compare the mountain to a cone, then Hu Tao and Qi Qi each take up half of it, while Jiang Bai takes up the other half by himself.
Jiang Bai had no objection to this allocation.
After all, Hu Tao had planned to let him do everything yesterday, so the result today is already quite good.
Carrying a few meat patties to stave off hunger, Jiang Bai began his search for amber and the path to its destruction.
There's not much amber, but there's not little either; you can see one standing by the roadside every so often, so they're quite easy to find.
Jiang Bai gently tapped the amber in front of him; judging from the sound, it sounded somewhat like glass.
He tried punching the amber, and with a crack, a crack appeared on the amber, but it didn't seem to be breaking apart.
Jiang Bai now had a good idea of how hard this thing was.
Although he only used three-tenths of his strength, three-tenths of his strength is still quite a lot.
The amber was harder than he had expected.
Of course, he couldn't just punch them one by one; he'd run out of energy before he could finish.
The phrase "Persuade with Reason" appeared in his palm, and with two sharp blows, the amber shattered.
One of the butterflies, which had been sealed inside, finally saw the light of day again, flapping its wings and slowly flying out.
Jiang Bai found the butterfly to be very beautiful. It was entirely golden, with feathers as thin as cicada wings, and golden particles would fall when its wings fluttered.
His poverty immediately gave him a sense of Mora's presence.
Such beautiful butterflies must be very valuable if they could be sold!
He bent his knees and sprang up, catching the butterfly in one swift motion.
He thought he would get a beautiful butterfly, but the moment he caught it, the butterfly's wings turned into particles and disappeared, leaving only the middle part of its body, which turned into something that looked like a gemstone.
Jiang Bai stared blankly at the gem in his hand.
Are all the creatures in this world this wondrous?
After thinking for a moment, he put the gem away.
Although it's not as pretty as a butterfly, this thing should still be able to make money, right?
One, two, three... more and more amber pieces shattered under Jiang Bai's blows.
Jiang Bai controlled his strength perfectly, striking the amber exactly twice, and after those two blows, the amber was bound to shatter.
Some of these amber pieces contain people, but there are many more butterflies, squirrels, wild boars, and hilichuurs...
After rescuing the people, Jiang Bai told them to thank the immortal and leave quickly. He then released the demon and performed a ritual to send it to the afterlife. The wild boar that tried to hit his savior naturally met its end on the spot.
Some people were banned for a week, some for a month, and some for as long as half a year.
Although they have been sealed for so long, they have not become corpses due to the loss of energy. On the contrary, their physical condition is no different from when they were first sealed.
I wonder if they were conscious when they were sealed off. If they were, I doubt anyone could have survived it.
After all, humans are social animals. If they are in a state of loneliness, solitude, and darkness for a long time, they will develop mental illness in less than three days.
Although these people were somewhat dazed when they were released, their language instincts and memories were still intact, so their conscious time was probably not long.
Jiang Bai's side is making rapid progress, and Hu Tao's side is not lagging behind either.
Chapter 78 Has the True Lord ever seen her?
However, she didn't have Jiang Bai's strength, so it would take her some effort to break a piece of amber.
Listening to the occasional sound of amber being struck in the woods, Hu Tao rubbed her aching arms and muttered in frustration.
"That was hasty; we should have given Jiang Bai a larger share..."
It's unrealistic to expand Jiang Bai's range now, since she's tired, and Jiang Bai must be tired too.
After resting for a while, Hu Tao picked up the staff of homa and continued on her way.
"Sigh, I'm still too kind..."
The operation to smash all the amber in Amber Mountain took a full day.
When Jiang Bai and Hu Tao reached the top of the mountain, they were so tired they could barely lift their hands.
The only one in good condition is Qiqi.
Jiang Bai leaned against a large tree, his eyes losing their luster.
This is exhausting.
He swung his spiked club thousands of times, while climbing mountains and making his way through the land, and from time to time he had to deal with those sealed or suddenly emerging monsters.
Walnut's condition is even worse than Jiang Bai's.
The two leaned against the same big tree, their hands hanging limply, their eyes staring blankly at the sky.
Although she broke fewer pieces of amber than Jiang Bai, she was also weaker, which meant she needed to exert more force to break a single piece of amber.
"Qiqi...help me..." she called out weakly.
"Coming..." Qiqi responded and jogged over.
Although she is a zombie and cannot feel pain, excessive and inappropriate exercise still damages her muscles, so she has to use her magical powers to repair them from time to time.
She conjured a pale blue light to soothe Hu Tao's aching arms.
