The six people searched around, and finally Jiang Nuo's gaze returned to the coffin. "Could it be inside this big coffin?"
He muttered something, then pressed his hands against the edge of the coffin and peered inside. It was indeed empty; there was nothing there.
Knock knock knock.
Jiang Nuo tapped it, then her eyes suddenly lit up. "It's hollow inside; there's another layer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Da Zhu and the others reflexively retreated, fearing that there might be another zombie inside.
Jiang Nuo tested the thickness, condensed Demonic Qi in his palm, and clenched his fist to strike.
With a loud crash, the wooden board was smashed open.
Beneath the coffin was a deep and wide hole!
Jiang Nuo let out a cry and fell in right under their noses.
"Ouch!" " Nuonuo!"
Si Yan's expression changed instantly, and without hesitation, he jumped down as well.
Song Zheng was taken aback, then exchanged glances with the other three. "Jump... let's jump."
We can't just leave those few people who can't kill ghosts here! We have no choice but to follow them.
Jump down.
Jiang Nuo changed her posture in time during mid-air and landed safely.
But before she knew it, the ground was sticky and slippery, as if it were oiled, and she almost slipped and fell on her bottom again, but Si Yan pulled her into his arms in time.
Jiang Nuo gently patted Si Yan's back. "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Si Yan's breathing calmed down, and he gently rubbed Jiang Nuo's earlobe.
"How dangerous."
"But you didn't fall."
Jiang Nuo squinted at her surroundings, then rubbed her eyes. "It's so dark, Si Yan, I can barely see anything."
The surrounding darkness wasn't the darkness of having no light source; it was more like something thick had enveloped them completely, and the flashlight could only illuminate an area of about half a meter.
The two walked forward a little, and the strange sensation under their feet aroused Jiang Nuo's curiosity. She shone her flashlight on the ground and lifted her foot to test it.
"What is that... mucus?"
Jiang Nuo lifted her left foot and then her right. The sticky substance stuck to the sole of her shoe and stretched into a milky white string, like glue.
He sniffed it again, but there was no smell at all.
For a moment, neither of them could determine what it was.
Song Zheng and the other three fell into a heap, their clothes stuck to the slime, and it took them a long time to finally get up.
"Oh dear?! This is... tree resin!"
Old Sun had eaten his whole life in Kaoshan, and he recognized what this thing was right away.
"My goodness... there are so many! How big must each tree be?!"
As the group walked forward, Si Yan could sense that this was the area with the least yin energy since entering the tomb palace, and there was also a faint life force lingering in the air. Combining what Old Sun had said earlier, it might be the life force of a certain giant tree.
The passageway was very dark. Apart from Si Yan and Jiang Nuo, who were walking at the front, Song Zheng and the others all shared a thick hemp rope to tie their arms together to prevent anyone from falling behind.
The road was narrow and rugged.
Suddenly, Song Zheng hesitated before speaking, "Did you hear anything coming from next door?"
The cave wall to their left was so thin that they could clearly hear the dripping water from the next room, but that wasn't what Song Zheng to say.
"I heard someone walking," Zhang Lin whispered in agreement. In such a tense atmosphere, no one dared to speak loudly.
If you listen carefully, you can even hear voices.
"It's Simazi and his gang!" Old Sun recognized the voices and excitedly patted the wall. " Simazi! Can you hear us?"
He waited a few seconds, but there was no response from next door.
Instead, Jiang Nuo spoke up softly, "How do you know if the person next door is a human or a ghost?"
Old Sun: "..."
Jiang Nuo continued walking, her tone relaxed.
"Haha, don't be nervous, I was just joking."
Si Yan reached out and touched the wall. Even through the wall, he could feel the eerie atmosphere from the next room. A few minutes after Old Sun shouted, a scream suddenly came from next door.
"Get out of my way!! Help!"
Then came the sounds of fierce fighting.
Jiang Nuo twitched her little finger, but the little paper figure did not provide any warning.
"They're the ones calling for help!"
Da Zhu couldn't bear it any longer; he couldn't possibly listen to the deaths of all his brothers.
Si Yan: "Listen carefully, where exactly is the sound coming from?"
Da Zhu frowned, tilted his ear to listen, and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
Not next door...
"It seems to be in front... no, no, it's behind... what's going on?!"
Da Zhu felt like his scalp was about to explode. The voice was getting closer and closer, as if it were roaring right next to his ear, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
" Da Zhu! Da Zhu!"
"Stop shouting!" Da Zhu suddenly reached out and shoved him.
Caught off guard, Old Sun was pushed to the ground, his face splattered with tree sap. He struggled and groaned for a moment.
" Old Sun!" Da Zhu reacted and hurriedly helped Old Sun up, but when he saw the blank face, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
