Fang Chen immediately summoned the Swallowing Heaven Tower, intending to draw the coffin lid inside. But the lid gave off a strange pulse, and he could not take it in.
"I can't take it in?"
Fang Chen's eyes narrowed. He had not expected the coffin lid to be so unusual.
With no other choice, Fang Chen placed the Swallowing Heaven Tower on top of the lid to hold it down.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
The lid kept trembling and slowly moved toward the coffin, trying to close over it.
Fang Chen's face darkened. What he had feared had actually happened. The myna bird was still inside, and if the lid shut, they would be in trouble.
The best thing to do was stop the lid at once.
Seeing that even the Swallowing Heaven Tower could not hold it down, Fang Chen grew anxious. Then an idea flashed through his mind. He summoned the Heaven Mending Goddess Manifestation and had the Heaven Mending Goddess place the Black Stone on the lid.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
The lid's vibrations immediately slowed, and it stopped moving.
"It worked!"
A smile touched Fang Chen's lips. He knew the Black Stone was heavy, but he had only meant to try it. He had not expected it to pin the lid down at once.
Fang Chen tried removing the Swallowing Heaven Tower. Even without it, the lid's vibrations did not quicken, nor did the lid move.
"Heh, looks like the Black Stone can handle this on its own!"
Fang Chen could not help laughing.
He looked into the coffin again, but still saw nothing. He tried sending his Spiritual Sense inside. It entered the coffin, yet sensed nothing there—not even the myna bird.
Fang Chen frowned. He had not expected this coffin to be so strange.
"Huahua, Huahua..."
