Chapter 265: Fighting in the Ruins

Thinking it would be a giant alchemy furnace, everyone was ready to open their treasures: "...................."

"This is too freaking scary!"

Su Yu was startled by the sarcophagus that suddenly appeared in his sight, and rubbed his arms hard with discomfort.

Wu Hun and Long Aotian walked to the sarcophagus very calmly and looked at the patterns on it carefully.

"There's a badge on this coffin."

Upon hearing this, everyone who was searching the room for elixirs and the alchemy furnace hurriedly sped up their search. Ling Xiaoyue took time out of his busy schedule to answer.

"Tell me about it!"

"It looks like the emblem of the Dark Temple." Wu Hun carefully distinguished the differences on the emblem.

"Is this ruin the remains of a fallen powerful being from the Dark Temple?" Shi Lin's strong curiosity made him eager to know the answer.

"Don't you care what's inside this coffin? It can't possibly be the owner of this ruins, right?"

Wu Hun and Long Aotian felt strange and turned to look at Ling Xiaoyue and asked, "Why can't it be the owner of this ruins?"

"Why not? We went through all this trouble to select the lucky contestants to get in here. We can't just go straight to the finish line after the first round, right?"

Ling Xiaoyue shrugged, his face full of the expression "Impossible? Impossible? You don't really think that the person lying in here is the owner of this ruins, do you?"

Long Aotian and Wu Hun: "...................."

Mad, they really think so! Am I really not the child of destiny?

Over there, Su Yu finished sharing his precious "plowing land"—no, rather, plundering experience—with the mercenaries of the Red Flame Mercenary Group. He also walked over to the huge sarcophagus and joined the group chat.

"Would you know if you open it and take a look?"

Ling Xiaoyue's friends and members of the mercenary group also came over.

They all cast their most eager glances at the huge coffin in front of them.

The members of the Red Flame Mercenary Group, who have been baptized by new ideas, said: We must not let go of any needle or thread that can be exchanged for silver and gold coins!

Isn't it just prying open someone's coffin? They can do it!

A consensus was reached, and everyone stopped wasting time and immediately got ready to open it and see what treasures were inside.

Leaving behind to guard against sudden appearances of cultivators and attacks. Ling Xiaoyue stood in a corner of the coffin, watching Wu Hun and Long Aotian open it intently.

"I'll count to three, and then we'll work together." Wu Hun instructed Long Aotian.

"one."

"two........."

"and many more!"

Su Yu stretched out his right hand and quickly stopped him, "Wait, wait, let me light a candle."

As he spoke, he moved quickly like a mouse and ran to the four corners of the stone chamber to light candles.

Everyone: “....................”

"What is he doing?" Long Aotian was very familiar with Ling Xiaoyue and the others, so he didn't feel embarrassed and asked directly.

Wu Hun and the others looked at Ling Xiaoyue in confusion, waiting for her to give them an explanation.

As for asking Su Yu? Everyone unanimously gave up on this option.

It's nothing, Su Yu is too talkative and talks too much. It hurts my ears.

"Um... this is a rule passed down from some of the lesser sects in our family. Before opening a coffin, we have to light a candle or something in a certain direction to show that we have consulted the coffin owner and that they agree to open the coffin."

Ling Xiaoyue was trying to make amends to Su Yu with a frown on her face.

"Then why did Brother Su Yu light candles in four directions?" Wu Hun was puzzled and asked sincerely.

"Of course it's the triple insurance!" After lighting the candle, Su Yu ran back with his eyes shining, like a mouse that had stolen lamp oil.

Su Yu cheered in his heart, he finally got to fulfill his dream of being a tomb raider, hehe.

Ling Xiaoyue and the other team members knew at a glance what this guy was secretly happy about, but they were all willing to pamper him.

"The candle is burning brightly, which means the owner of this coffin has no objections, and the owner of this site has no objections either. Let's open the coffin now!"

Su Yu rubbed his hands together, looking eager to try.

Wu Hun and Long Aotian were also very willing, and called Su Yu to come forward and prepare to open the coffin together.

Because of Su Yu's previous interruption, Long Aotian and Wu Hun were mentally prepared to open the coffin this time, and they were determined to pry it open in one go.

Things were going quite smoothly, but what Wu Hun and Long Aotian didn't expect was that after the coffin was opened, there was another coffin inside.

Several people were not discouraged. It was just a coffin, wasn't it? After opening one, why would they be afraid of another one?

................. I’m really scared that there will be another one!

So next, Wu Hun, Long Aotian and Su Yu took great pains to pry open the coffin lids one after another!

The crowd watching and on guard not far away: "...................."

What Ling Xiaoyue and the others didn't realize was that ever since Wu Hun, Long Aotian, and Su Yu opened the lid of the first coffin, they had been unconsciously repeating the action of opening the outermost coffin, as if they were trapped in an endless loop.

As time passed, the candles in the four corners seemed to have received an endless supply of fuel, burning more and more passionately and cheerfully.

Until the system, unable to bear it any longer, jumped out and wrote a large notice on the sign to remind Ling Xiaoyue. If you don't pull everyone out of the illusion, you will have to repeat this process until your essence is exhausted!

Just as he was about to kick the red bold notice in front of Ling Xiaoyue's eyes, the system suddenly thought of the king exchanged with the mermaid royal family Poseidon in the underwater world of the fairy tale plane.

It seems that the tears of these mermaid kings have a natural degrading effect on breaking through these obstacles?

The system's virtual imagination scratched its head, and then plunged into Ling Xiaoyue's system space to rummage through the drawers.

Fortunately, Ling Xiaoyue had a mild case of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and had sorted and neatly stored all the supplies exchanged from the small worlds. Therefore, it wasn't too difficult for the system to find them.

However, looking at the shelf in front of it, which was placed with a storage ring and signed with the name of Poseidon's Tears, the system was speechless.

The system picked the largest mermaid tear and painstakingly attached it to Ling Xiaoyue's body. Then it immediately returned to the system space.

But it knew that Ling Xiaoyue, the tigress, had never given up on beating it up.

But you must not let her find out.
