Chapter 1507

~7 min read 1,371 words

Yang Lu had originally thought that the other party had arrived here first and then launched an encirclement, causing A Da to seize the opportunity to run, which was why they had taken a detour to chase them here.

She did not expect that A Da had acted on his own initiative from the start, and Young Master Zhao had been left in place, with no one even watching him, as they had all gone to chase A Da.

This was also why Yang Lu finally understood why the other party had only taken a small amount of supplies; it was because they did not have that much spare time while chasing A Da.

And Young Master Zhao had also followed closely behind with his own backpack; from this point of view, Yang Lu had not fully understood the logic of these people at first.

Now it was different; although they coveted the so-called treasures and burial objects in this tomb, or rather, those things in their legends.

But compared to the traitor identified within their clan, all of this could be ignored.

Clearly, this En Kuan was still doing his utmost to pave the way for his son, and even if these treasures could not be obtained by him, he was absolutely determined to kill A Da.

It occurred to her that this was another reason why A Da lured the crowd away; Yang Lu did not delve deeper into this point.

The next moment, Yang Lu pointed to the coffin and asked, "Then what is going on with this coffin?"

Young Master Zhao hurriedly said, "This is quite strange; when I arrived, I did see a coffin here, but it wasn't this color."

Yang Lu shook her head and said, "Are you sure you saw it in this very place when you arrived?"

It was just a few minutes ago that they had left this place, and there was no coffin at that time, not even a faint outline within a few steps.

She had not discovered any signs of a coffin appearing; if there had been such a discovery, it would have been impossible for Yang Lu to lead people back along the same path.

She had to study and understand the situation inside the coffin.

After all, they were an archaeological team, and their purpose in coming to the Southern Frontier Insect Valley was to search for coffins; any coffin they encountered absolutely had to be opened immediately.

Of course, if it carried certain corresponding dangers or if such danger had been anticipated in advance, Yang Lu would not act rashly.

This also depended on when Zhang Lin would give them the corresponding instructions from the Crescent Hotel; regarding the matter of opening a coffin, if it were in an ordinary tomb.

Even if there were a hundred coffins, Yang Lu would open them as soon as she said so.

Even if there were corresponding mechanisms inside the coffin, to her, it was nothing but child's play; she had already experienced too many of these things.

But whether it was the Ancient City of Jingjue, the Dragon Ridge Labyrinth, or now that they had reached the scope of the so-called Ancient Dian Kingdom ruins, Yang Lu did not dare to touch any coffin she encountered easily.

In the Ancient City of Jingjue, it went without saying that most of the coffins were traps, including the final coffin constructed from the Kunlun Divine Wood, which was nothing but a false illusion.

In the Dragon Ridge Labyrinth, that final coffin was never opened at all.

And because everyone found the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, they ignored this point, but Yang Lu had precisely understood that if they had opened that coffin, all of them would absolutely have perished within the Dragon Ridge Labyrinth.

Even Zhang Lin could not have saved them; this was why the group led by Leng Feng finally just chased hurriedly, and after dealing with the spiders, they also chose to head to the path below immediately, likewise not touching that coffin.

This was precisely the instruction from Wang Canghai; even though Wang Canghai had lost his confidence now, after he understood the knowledge of the Five Elements, Eight Trigrams, Nine Palaces, and Eight Gates, he also understood.

Just looking at the position where Li Chunfeng's coffin was placed, as well as the form of his tomb, it was clearly a "whistle coffin."

This kind of whistle coffin was different from the "dead coffin" spoken of by the Southern School; it had to be combined with the structure of the tomb itself, meaning that if they opened the coffin, it would trigger all the mechanisms within the tomb.

This coffin was designed from the very beginning not to be opened; once it was closed, it could not be opened again, and anyone who attempted to do so should prepare to be destroyed along with the tomb.

It was precisely because of all this that Yang Lu now basically had post-traumatic symptoms whenever she saw a coffin, especially this kind of coffin that appeared inexplicably.

Regardless of what other mechanisms were hidden here, causing this coffin to appear inexplicably first.

And then the coffin itself changed to another color; in any case, one could not open the coffin easily.

And Wang Kaixuan walked over immediately; he first tapped the coffin with his hand, then grinned and said, "Team Leader Yang, let's not worry about why a coffin appeared; since there is a coffin, wouldn't we know if we just opened it and took a look?"

Yang Lu sighed, shook her head, and said, "Don't touch the coffin yet, let's wait."

As for what exactly they were waiting for, Yang Lu did not need to explain; at this moment, the only one they could wait for was Zhang Lin at the Crescent Hotel.

Without Zhang Lin's instructions, no matter what Yang Lu wanted to do next, she was afraid she would have no confidence in her heart; this was also based on Zhang Lin's previous words that this place was not much simpler than the Ancient City of Jingjue, which was the tone Zhang Lin had set from the beginning.

Yang Lu could not violate it; having figured this out, Yang Lu's attitude was now exceptionally firm.

And the bullet comments also began to call for Zhang Lin one after another.

【Mr. Zhang, if you can see the bullet comments, please appear quickly.】

【Yes, yes, I've waited until my flowers have withered.】

【Since it's already an hour early, a few dozen minutes won't matter; you are a magnanimous person.】

【What do you know? A man's word is his bond; if he says an hour early, not a minute or second less will do.】

【You are being stubborn; isn't that too rigid?】

【Don't make a big deal out of everything; it's just a matter of waiting a few dozen minutes anyway; we've waited so long, what's a little more time?】

As they spoke, those watching the live stream began to argue using the bullet comments.

And just as the Second Archaeological Team wanted to continue resting, and while the bullet comments were still arguing, suddenly this coffin lit up with a red light in the pitch-black night.

Although this red light was only a line, Yang Lu stood up immediately, and everyone subconsciously took several steps back; they stared at this coffin, their eyes revealing expressions of astonishment and uncertainty.

Borrowing the moonlight, although it was not that dim here, the red light lit up on the edge of the coffin was still so glaring; Wu Ya, who was watching the live stream, covered her mouth in shock at this moment.

She hurriedly handed her phone to Zhang Lin; although Zhang Lin had not instructed her to watch the situation on the live stream earlier, Wu Ya felt she had this obligation.

Since Zhang Lin was not actively watching the live stream, once any trouble appeared on the Second Archaeological Team's live stream, she had to report it to Zhang Lin immediately.

After Zhang Lin saw this coffin, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing major, proceed according to the original plan."
