Chapter 705

~5 min read 938 words

A circular bronze coffin was connected by chains directly above the water pool; Wu Tianzhen was stunned the moment he saw this.

He subconsciously said: "This circular coffin should be a burial from the Warring States Period; how could it appear here?"

Wang Pangzi, on the other hand, licked his lips; the crisis from just a moment ago had not cast any shadow in his heart.

He got excited whenever he saw a coffin, and immediately said: "Who cares? Whatever period it's from, won't we know once we open it and take a look?"

Zhang Tianshi immediately shook his head and said: "Stop looking for trouble. That is absolutely not our goal; this is merely a side hall."

"The appearance of this coffin is also to suppress the feng shui position; there is definitely nothing of value inside. Let's continue moving forward."

At this moment, Wang Pangzi felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, and he smacked his lips helplessly; however, since it was Zhang Tianshi who said it, he couldn't really argue.

If it hadn't been for the other party, his little life would probably have been finished just now.

On land, Wang Pangzi wasn't afraid of that green-skinned monster, but in the water, just a moment ago, he felt like his breathing was about to give out.

Wu Tianzhen patted Wang Pangzi and said: "Stop thinking about it, hurry up and move forward."

After urging him with that sentence, just as the three of them were about to take a step, a noisy commotion suddenly came from underwater.

And immediately following that, streaks of blood-red color rose up from beneath the water.

Zhang Tianshi jumped down without the slightest hesitation, and the two of them followed suit.

When they saw the scene underwater, the three of them opened their eyes wide.

It was the same one-armed monster from before, but there were many more people now.

They weren't as lucky as Wang Pangzi; these were all members of their Archaeological Team One.

At this moment, for this green-skinned monster, it was like a meal had been served; it kept chasing after every person, and as long as it caught up, it would use its one remaining hand to grab at the other party's chest without hesitation.

And rip out their heart.

Right now, two or three people had already died at its hands.

Zhang Tianshi used the force of the underwater cliff wall to leap over in one step.

He swung the long blade in his hand once again; this time, he wasn't aiming for the green-skinned monster's arm, but its head.

In fact, if there had been an opportunity to cut off its head directly just now, Zhang Tianshi would not have had the slightest hesitation.

It was just that there hadn't been a suitable position earlier.

With a flash of the blade, the green-skinned monster's head was immediately severed, and it completely lost all signs of life.

【Holy crap! That strike was stunning!】

【That strike just now already shocked me; I didn't expect that was just Zhang Tianshi testing his blade.】

【Zhang is mighty and domineering!!!】

The green-skinned monster was dead.

The three of them also joined forces to pull everyone else up to the water's surface.

Wu Tianzhen quickly counted the number of people and frowned slightly; even including the three who died in the water, their numbers were still not enough, and they were still missing two.

He immediately asked: "Where are the other two?"

At this time, one person raised their hand and said dejectedly: "We entered an ear chamber just now and encountered a white-haired monster. We joined forces and cut its head off."

When Zhang Tianshi heard this, his heart skipped a beat; he already understood what had happened.

The combat power of a Drought Demon itself wasn't that strong.

With these people joining forces, cutting off its head was no problem at all.

The key was that once a Drought Demon's head is cut off, it releases a massive amount of corpse poison!

Once that kind of corpse poison spreads, it cannot be suppressed; if anyone were to go back to that ear chamber now, they would be poisoned to death immediately.

The reason these people arrived at that ear chamber right after was precisely because of the elevator mechanism.

They had stepped in inadvertently, and their path back was also sealed off; they hadn't thought to jump into the water at the first moment, but instead chose to eliminate this Drought Demon.

After hearing Zhang Tianshi's explanation, everyone was silent.

At that critical juncture, there really hadn't been a better choice; if their reaction had been even half as good as Zhang Tianshi's, they wouldn't have made such a stupid decision.

Wu Tianzhen took a deep breath and said: "Everyone, keep your spirits up; we cannot afford any more casualties. This laboratory of Wang Zanghai is even more dangerous than we imagined."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded without hesitation; in fact, there was no need for Wu Tianzhen to say this again.

They had just arrived inside and slept for a long time for no reason; not even an hour had passed since they woke up, and so many situations had already occurred.

And three or four people had already died; no one could accept these things.

Wang Pangzi looked in the direction of the tunnel and said: "Tianzhen, why don't we rest here for a bit? We'll move forward afterward; everyone needs to recover, and this place should be very safe."

Wu Tianzhen looked at Zhang Tianshi at this moment.
