Yingzi's scream made Fatty and Hu Bayi, who were just about to check the situation, kneel down in fright. They clasped their hands together and recited the prepared speech.

"Forgive us for the offense! Forgive us for the offense! Please pity us, we are lacking food and clothing, and are forced to borrow a few small items to exchange for a little money..."

"Hahaha..."

Hu Ming, standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh at the scene. However, Hu Ming glanced at the guy in the coffin. He was indeed ugly, but he hadn't undergone corpse transformation yet.

At this moment, Hu Bayi and Wang Fatty also reacted. Fatty immediately went to the already opened coffin and took a quick look inside.

He couldn't help but say with disgust, "Hiss... what an ugly fellow!"

Fatty really didn't expect this guy to be so ugly even after death. He couldn't help but utter this sentence, and now he understood why Yingzi was so scared earlier.

After all, with his slightly distorted facial features, his nose and mouth askew, even Fatty couldn't stand it. Fatty's words were also heard by Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement. He quietly moved closer, pressed against Fatty's back, and suddenly said, "You dead fatty, do you want to die?"

Fatty, who was focused on the corpse, was startled and turned around. Seeing that it was Hu Bayi, he said irritably, "Is it fun to scare people?"

At this moment, Hu Ming answered for Hu Bayi, "It's not very fun to scare others, but I think it's especially fun to scare Brother Fatty."

Fatty rolled his eyes at him speechlessly.

Hu Bayi checked the candle and found no issues, then said, "Let's begin!"

Fatty was about to reach out when Hu Ming stopped him. Hu Ming then said to Fatty, "You dead fatty, are you just going to reach in with your bare hands? Aren't you afraid of getting Corpse Poison? Where are the gloves I told you to bring?"

Fatty was stunned for a moment, then immediately took out gloves and distributed them to everyone. After putting on his gloves, Hu Ming first used the remaining corpse-binding rope to tie the big zombie's ankles like anklets. Hu Ming didn't dare to tie its feet completely, fearing it would break free.

After seeing Hu Ming finish, the others began to take the porcelain and pottery from the coffin.

Hu Ming took only porcelain. There were quite a few pieces of porcelain, more than a dozen. Hu Ming took four or five, pretending to put them in his backpack, but actually secretly put them into his spatial storage.

Hu Bayi only took one piece of porcelain. He looked at Hu Ming and Wang Fatty and said, "Mingzi, this isn't right, is it? The rules of our ancestors have been preserved for thousands of years."

Hu Ming glanced at Hu Bayi and said, "It's okay, times have changed, and our rules have changed accordingly!"

Then he said to Fatty, "Let's offer it some incense, pay our respects, and consider it a courtesy."

At this time, only a mask and a pair of jade pendants remained in the coffin.

Hu Bayi said to Hu Ming, "Mingzi, something's wrong."

Suddenly, the candlelight flickered and swayed, making a sizzling sound, and then darkness fell upon the tomb...

Fatty couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Damn it, the candle went out!"

This scared Fatty so much that he didn't dare to move.

Hu Bayi asked, "What do we do?" Fatty took out his dagger, and Yingzi nervously clutched her hunting rifle.

Hu Ming's eyes flashed with a sharp glint. He said calmly, "Old Hu, relight the candle. We'll negotiate. If it doesn't listen, we'll deal with it directly! Damn it, I don't believe we can't handle it."

Hearing Hu Ming's words, Hu Bayi couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up and say, "Mingzi, what you just said was so domineering! I'm afraid that in the thousands of years of Mojin Lieutenants and tomb raiding scholars, only you would dare to say that."

Saying that, Hu Bayi lit another new candle, and the tomb chamber became bright again.

Given the reason for the candle going out last time, they all turned on their flashlights.

After a while, Hu Ming looked at the candle's performance and then looked at Fatty, "Fatty, let's continue!"

Fatty trembled slightly and said, "Continue? Mingzi, are you sure?"

Hu Ming nodded firmly. Fatty took a deep breath and reached out to grab the pair of jade pendants.

Suddenly, the dim tomb chamber turned a faint green, eerie and flickering.

Hu Bayi said nervously, "Mingzi, the candle turned green, what the hell!"

Fatty was also nervous, "Damn it, Old Hu, what's going on? What? How about, how about we all run out quickly? This place is too terrifying."

At this moment, Old Hu, Fatty, and Yingzi suddenly panicked and became somewhat frightened, speaking in unison.

Fatty glanced at the corpse and shouted in fright, "Holy crap, Mingzi, it moved!"

"It actually moved!" At this moment, Fatty realized that the guy lying in the coffin suddenly grew red hair all over his body, which grew longer and longer, becoming more and more terrifying.

Hu Ming frowned at this, quickly took the mask from the corpse's face, and said to Fatty, "Quick, get back."

Fatty immediately retreated to Yingzi's side. Hu Bayi did the same.

Then, the guy in the coffin slowly extended its dry hands, gripping the edge of the coffin.

Fatty's eyes widened as he muttered, "Holy crap!"

The next moment, with a "boom!", the originally hard coffin was immediately torn apart.

Fatty couldn't help but cry out in shock, "Holy shit, it's reanimated! It's reanimated!"

Suddenly, this red-haired monster sat up, looking at everyone present with its hollow, green eyes, and let out strange sounds.

Hu Ming also retreated to the side, coldly watching the monster. He knew that the sounds it made were Corpse Language.

"Mingzi, Old Hu, what do we do?" Fatty was quite scared now. As soon as he saw the reanimation, he immediately remembered the stories Hu Ming had told.

"What do we do? What do we do?" At this moment, Yingzi said, and immediately turned around, wanting to leave here.

However, it was already too late for everything.

The giant creature immediately took a coffin lid from its side and hurled it out fiercely.

As a result, the coffin lid was precisely and forcefully embedded by the red-haired monster into the entrance they had just come through.

Fatty couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Mingzi! The entrance is blocked!"

But Hu Ming wasn't flustered at all upon hearing this. He calmly said to Fatty, "En, I know."

Seeing everyone standing still, the big zombie tried to walk over and grab Hu Ming and the others. However, before it could even take a step, the foot it stepped out with began to emit black smoke.

It turned out that Hu Ming had set up glutinous rice all around. When the big zombie stepped on the glutinous rice, it yelped in pain and retracted its foot.

Hu Bayi saw that the glutinous rice where the big zombie had stepped had turned black.

Fatty rejoiced at this, "Great, the glutinous rice is effective against it."

Perhaps angered by Fatty's laughter, the big zombie roared and picked up its accompanying burial weapon—a Wolf Tooth Club. It then aimed at the group and threw the club at them.

Fatty and Yingzi panicked as the hundred-pound Wolf Tooth Club flew towards them. Fortunately, Hu Bayi was beside them and pushed them out of the way in time. The Wolf Tooth Club grazed past Fatty and Yingzi, smashing into the wall behind them and creating a large hole.

Hu Ming's eyes narrowed at the sight. He was glad he hadn't decided to fight the big zombie alone after practicing Baji Quan for over twenty years, or he probably would have been toast.

Snapping back to reality, Hu Ming took out a handful of glutinous rice and scattered it at the big zombie. Sparks flew as the glutinous rice hit its body, and the big zombie roared in pain. Because its feet were bound by the corpse-binding ropes, it couldn't take large steps and could only watch helplessly as Hu Ming acted with impunity before it.

Seeing the big zombie enraged, Hu Ming didn't continue. Just then, Hu Bayi suddenly shouted to Hu Ming, "Mingzi, there's a passage here! Let's get out through here quickly!"

Hu Ming looked in the direction of the sound. At some point, Hu Bayi and the others had already entered the large hole that the big zombie had just smashed.

Seeing this, Hu Ming also hurriedly bypassed the big zombie and ran towards Hu Bayi.

Before leaving, he wrapped the prepared corpse-binding ropes around it, hoisting it up. Ignoring the big zombie's furious roars, he quickly retreated with Hu Bayi and the others.
