Chapter 1051

Wood itself is hard, and even wood soaked in water still has a corresponding firm texture to the touch.

Even though this Kunlun Divine Wood had been laid here for a thousand years and had already rotted away!

But Zhaogongzi knew that no piece of wood would feel like this, because it seemed as if he was gripping something soft and fluffy, like cotton.

His hand went straight in and gripped it, and everyone who saw this was completely stunned.

They thought Zhaogongzi would immediately exert force to pry open the coffin, and even if he didn't have that kind of strength, he should at least make some kind of effort.

Whether he had the intention to do it himself or was just putting on a show for others, either would have been fine.

This person couldn't possibly be that stupid, could he?

The crowd said he only exerted a little force, and in this situation, knowing it was too heavy, he didn't put in any effort at all.

If that were the case, this Zhaogongzi would probably be drowned by everyone's spit.

The moment he saw Zhaogongzi's hand rest on the coffin lid of the Kunlun Divine Wood, Zhang Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew the matter was settled; as long as this Zhaogongzi's brain hadn't short-circuited, he should know what to do next.

He only needed to go with the flow, then pry open the coffin lid.

The reason Zhang Lin had been certain from the start that once Zhaogongzi sobered up he would definitely be able to do this, and that doing so at this critical juncture could turn the tide, was precisely because of this.

And at this moment, the "Yang Lu Si" whose golden mask had slipped off was gripping with increasingly heavy force.

It seemed to sense someone touching the coffin lid, and as the incarnation of the Corpse-Flower Konjac, the guardian of the Jingjue Queen, it absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen.

So it had to do everything in its power at the first moment to stop anyone from prying open the coffin lid.

It seemed all the secrets were hidden there, and the moment the secrets were revealed, it would no longer have any reason to exist.

Actually, from the very beginning until now, everyone had fallen into a misconception.

Zhang Lin said this thing was extremely hard, but these people had misunderstood one point: being hard did not mean being heavy.

And being well-protected also did not mean that under certain circumstances it could block every attack.

At this moment, Zhaogongzi directly grabbed the coffin lid and tried with all his might to pry it upward, but there was no effect at all.

He suddenly froze!
