Chapter 1396: Are You Trying to Laugh Me to Death?

"Kid, how is it? Who is lying inside? Is it alive or dead?"

Er Gouzi stood at the cave entrance, standing on tiptoe, looking curiously and asking.

But its position was very far back, clearly indicating that if it discovered any danger, it would immediately turn around and run!

Duan Jiude also hid beside Er Gouzi, his face solemn, ready to flee at any time.

Xu Que was already accustomed to this situation and couldn't even be bothered to talk about it. Anyway, they had already set up Trapping and Killing Arrays at the entrance. If there really was danger later, it would be enough to create time for him to run; he wasn't panicked at all.

Of course, the premise was not to wake up the Immortal Venerable stage experts, otherwise, it would be a huge problem.

"System, the coffin lid is already open! Why hasn't this person woken up yet?"

The woman lying in the coffin hadn't moved for a long time, so Xu Que couldn't help but summon the System again to ask.

The System seemed somewhat surprised by this situation as well. After a short silence, it gave a response: "Ding! Host can try the awakening method yourself!"

"I try the awakening method myself? Damn, can I use any method?" Xu Que widened his eyes.

"As long as the target can be awakened, the reward can be obtained!" the System responded.

Yo ho!

Why does it feel like there's still a conspiracy?

Xu Que immediately raised an eyebrow and didn't rush to take action.

"System, in fact, I'm still quite puzzled. Aren't you afraid that after I wake her up, I'll just run away? That way I get the reward, but you fail to achieve your goal of testing me; what's the point of that?" Xu Que asked the suspicion in his heart.

He didn't believe the System wouldn't have anticipated such a simple operation.

"Ding! After calculation, as long as the host wakes up the expert inside, the sacrificial altar will be activated, sealing all space. The host will have nowhere to escape and can only stay to experience this life-and-death battle. After the battle ends, the host will also completely integrate all new Immortal Arts, and their strength will be fully consolidated!" the System responded calmly.

"Hmm, as expected!" Xu Que smiled faintly; in fact, he had already guessed it.

He hadn't guessed it so specifically, but he had always been very clear that this profiteering System would never do something with such an obvious bug.

But now, the bug had been patched by the System. Once an expert awakened, the restriction on the sacrificial altar would be activated, sealing this space, and he would indeed have no way to escape.

Therefore, Xu Que was facing a choice at this moment!

If he woke up the expert in the coffin, he would have to go through a life-and-death battle. Although it was the System indirectly luring him here, Xu Que was somewhat confident that he shouldn't die!

If he didn't wake up this expert, there would be no danger, but this trip would probably be for nothing!

"Sigh, it's really hard to choose. For no reason, I can't easily take this risk, being led by the nose by the System—it's too embarrassing!" Xu Que shook his head, feeling a bit worried.

The result he wanted most was to wake these people up, get the reward, and run away immediately; fighting and such was too boring!

But now, it seemed this result couldn't be achieved!

"Ding! Reminding the host again, once the target is awakened, the sacrificial altar will be activated immediately!" At this moment, the System prompt rang out!

Xu Que was instantly unhappy: "So?"

System: "Ding! So... stop doing useless things!"

Holy crap!

Xu Que instantly widened his eyes.

What do you mean by "stop doing useless things"?

So angry!

Has this System become this arrogant now?

"Fine, I won't do useless things today. So what if they are Immortal Venerable experts? Once I pull out my trump cards, they will all have to die!" Xu Que sneered, waved his hand, instantly condensed Immortal Yuan, and slapped it toward the woman in the coffin.

He directly infused Immortal Yuan into that woman, attempting to wake her up.

"Boom!"

However, as soon as all the Immortal Yuan power approached the woman, it was instantly bounced away by an invisible light shield, and the entire bronze coffin emitted a trembling sound.

"Eh, what's going on?" Xu Que couldn't help but be stunned.

But the next moment, the woman in the bronze coffin suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze immediately and directly locking onto Xu Que.

She was awake!

"Boom!"

At this moment, the spacious sacrificial altar under Xu Que's feet also shook violently, bursting with brilliant radiance!

All the restriction runes were activated, forming beams of light that quickly intertwined in the air, turning into a ring of light, completely sealing the entire cave.

The whole process took less than the blink of an eye. The cave where Xu Que was had already become a sealed space, and all the void had been restricted.

"Holy crap, she woke up just like that?"

Xu Que was startled. He had thought he would need to infuse Immortal Yuan to wake her up, but he hadn't expected that the Immortal Yuan being bounced away would shake the bronze coffin, which instead startled her awake. Following that, completely unprepared, the entire sacrificial altar had finished activating, directly sealing this space.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the awakening mission, obtained kill reward: Attribute Mode!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the awakening mission, obtained one free Didi Beat People service!"

Almost simultaneously, the System prompt also rang in Xu Que's mind.

It was just that at this time, the prompt sounded to Xu Que with an obvious tone of cockiness and schadenfreude.

"Holy crap, kid, what happened?"

"Why are we sealed? The exit has disappeared!"

Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude's shouts also came from outside the sacrificial altar; clearly, they had also discovered the change of this space being sealed!

"Stop BBing, get ready for a life-and-death battle!"

Xu Que replied without looking back, his gaze vigilantly watching the woman in the bronze coffin.

The two just stared at each other like this, neither moving!

But gradually, Xu Que noticed something wrong. Why wasn't this woman blinking?

Not blinking is one thing, but she had been staring at him with her eyes open like this; her expression couldn't possibly not change at all, could it? Could it be stiffness caused by plastic surgery?

"Miss, I am Xu Que of the Zha Tian Bang, single, how about you?"

Xu Que's eyes rolled, changing his strategy, and he asked the woman with a faint smile.

However, the woman in the bronze coffin still didn't have the slightest change, just staring at Xu Que with her eyes wide open.

Xu Que couldn't help but frown, feeling a bit puzzled. What exactly does this mean?

"System, what's going on! What about the life-and-death battle?"

Xu Que had to summon the System to ask.

"..."

The System fell into silence this time, and only after a long while did it respond indifferently: "Ding! The target is only awakened, but has not yet recovered mobility!"

"Pfft!"

Xu Que was stunned for less than a second upon hearing this, and burst out laughing on the spot.

"Hahaha! Only awakened, but hasn't recovered mobility? System, are you trying to laugh me to death and then inherit my wealth? Is this the life-and-death battle training you were talking about?"

Xu Que said cockily, patting his clothes with an arrogant face, and laughed cheekily: "Fine, System, anyway the reward is already in hand, this baby is leaving too, bye-bye!"
