Chapter 1555: What the Hell Is This? (Part 1)
The two shouted, “One, two,” and pushed together.
But!
Still couldn’t open it!
It was as if the lid had been jammed shut.
Yet, obviously it wasn’t jammed shut.
The gap in the middle was quite apparent.
With a flashlight, they could faintly see a bit inside the coffin.
Which means it was simply covered.
Then why couldn’t the two of them push it open?
The two exchanged a glance!
Their faces unconsciously showed a look of seriousness.
They were, after all, Kings of Soldiers.
Together, their combined strength could move even a thousand pounds.
Let alone a wooden lid.
Even if it were the heaviest wood in the world, this piece wouldn’t weigh five hundred pounds.
What’s the reason behind it?
They did not stop and waste time thinking about it.
The situation outside didn’t allow them time to ponder.
Unable to move it?
Does that mean!
Something is preventing them from opening it!
Wenhai glanced at the talisman placed on the rock by the middle-aged man, “Put it on the coffin!”
“Let’s try again!”
The talisman possessed mysterious power.
So, if some other mysterious force was preventing them from opening the coffin.
Try using the talisman?
Maybe it would work.
The middle-aged man didn’t hesitate.
He directly placed the talisman on the rock onto the coffin.
But as soon as he placed it, the talisman flickered intensely and spontaneously combusted.
The two were stunned.
They hadn’t anticipated this outcome.
After a second or two, Xu Hong snapped out of his daze.
He immediately said in a deep voice, “Let’s try again.”
Two low growls!
Clearly, they were putting in their full effort.
With a clang.
The coffin lid was pushed halfway open by their combined effort.
At this moment, the two immediately let go.
Because they felt an extreme sense of danger.
Something that wasn’t there previously.
Now, it burst forth suddenly.
They seemed to understand something.
As they stepped back, they sneaked a glance inside the coffin.
To see what exactly was inside?
This glance!
Made their faces instantly turn surprised.
Inside lay a middle-aged man in Qing Dynasty official robes.
The face was very thin, or rather, there was almost no meat visible.
With faint black lines.
And the official robes were similar to those seen in zombie movies.
But, this was more ornate.
It seemed like the official position was higher.
And his hands were placed folded over his lower abdomen.
Pale and terrifying.
Especially his fingernails, so long!
So long that it made the two feel a bit creeped out.
What?
What the hell is this thing!
No doubt about it!
They could feel that this was a dead person, definitely not alive.
Not even the slightest breath of a living person.
Yet, the dense and overwhelming sense of danger seemed to relentlessly assault them.
The whole body felt almost frozen.
At this moment, moving even a step was a tremendous effort.
“Not at all decomposed?” Xu Hong said quietly.
The middle-aged man wore a serious expression, looking as if facing a great enemy, “Could it be a zombie?”
But he then questioned himself, “Are there still zombies in this age?”
“Isn’t that, what’s fabricated in movies and TV shows?”
As he said this!
Xu Hong’s voice immediately refuted him, “Ghostly creatures!”
“Before, everyone thought they were superstitions!”
“Now, isn’t there one outside right now?”
The middle-aged man was immediately speechless.
In reality, that’s the situation now.
What was previously deemed impossible, now everything is possible.
“But if it’s true, why hasn’t it jumped out?” the middle-aged man asked.
Xu Hong shook his head, he didn’t know either.
He could only rely on intuition, feeling they shouldn’t approach.
If they get close, there would be immense danger.
What to do?
Do they just stand still?
At this moment, they were anxious!
Because outside, clearly the fight was getting more intense.
Also, it seemed to be one-on-one!
Keep in mind, there were two people outside!
Could it be, the other one is already….?
Unthinkable!
“Let’s wait for five seconds!” Xu Hong said.
“If there’s no movement!”
“We’ll go out and help!”
“Once our boss arrives, whatever monsters, ghosts, they all have to die!”
The middle-aged man nodded.
He had no doubt that if Lin Xi came, then indeed all monsters and ghosts would perish.
After all, he could easily kill someone in the middle stage of Innate.
Even if it were a ghostly creature or the zombie here!
So what!
Could it possibly contend against Innate?
Even if it could fight against ordinary Innate?
Could it possibly match Lin Xi?
No, no, no!
The two immediately dismissed the thought.
Innate!
Was beyond their ability to discuss.
Five seconds passed!
The two exchanged a glance.
The thing within the coffin was utterly still.
Could it be?
Really just a dead body?
But if it truly was just a corpse, why hadn’t it decomposed when they opened it?
Furthermore, never mind the coffin itself not being airtight.
Or tightly sealed in any way.
It was completely a coffin allowing air flow.
“Go!”
Xu Hong shouted.
Immediately, the two turned towards the door.
They passed halfway.
Actually, both were very wary of behind them.
Deeply afraid that as soon as they turned, what was inside the coffin would spring out to attack.
But, no?
Could it be, they really were just being paranoid?
Never mind!!!!
The two had gone halfway.
Even if the thing inside suddenly sprang out, they’d be able to calmly face it.
Ambush and such.
Seemed unlikely.
Next moment, they rushed full speed towards the door.
With this movement.
Their faces changed drastically, immediately scattering to both sides.
“Boom!”
The coffin lid slammed exactly where they had just been standing.
If they hadn’t moved.
They definitely would have been hit by the lid.
Moreover, judging by the impact, even with their strength, they’d be hurt.
After all, they were still human.
Their defense hadn’t reached a level of invulnerability.
Turning around, they saw.
The man in those incredibly ornate Qing Dynasty official robes, who had been lying in the coffin, was now facing away from them.
Yes, facing away from them.
From lying in the coffin to standing on the ground, turned away.
The two felt a chill rise from their heels up to their scalps.
“Damn it?”
“The dead came back to life?”
“Or maybe, it’s a zombie!”
Even though they both were fearless, at this moment, they couldn’t help feeling creeped out.
In their hearts, waves of cold kept surging.
At this moment, the recently closed door, “Bang!” sounded as if a heavy object had struck it open.
A shadow crashed into their left side.
