Zhang Qilin moved as soon as Zhang Hao reminded him.

He teleported directly onto the path the white figure was taking, causing the starting point to clamp down on the white figure.

At this moment, everyone could see clearly that the white shadow that ran out of the coffin was a white rat three or four times the size of an ordinary rat.

It was trapped between Zhang Qilin's legs and couldn't move, baring its teeth and waving its forelimbs incessantly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was a mouse.

"It turned out to be a big rat making a commotion. Fatty thought the one-armed guy buried inside had come back to life."

"I always said there's no such thing as coming back to life from the dead."

"Hey, come quick and take a look. Although the one-armed guy hasn't come back to life, he doesn't look like someone who's been dead for thousands of years. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's just asleep."

The fat man exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the corpse in the coffin.

Wu Tianzhen, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie all stepped forward to take a look.

When they saw the body in the coffin, they all gasped in shock.

"It seems that although the coffin, the treasure of the She Kingdom, cannot bring people back to life, it can keep corpses from decaying for thousands of years. It is indeed a treasure."

"This one-armed guy is quite handsome. Do you think the general has taken a liking to him? Otherwise, why would he treat him so well, letting the one-armed guy lie in the coffin instead of himself?"

"Hey, Fatty, respect the dead, you shouldn't make jokes like that."

……

Zhang Hao stared at the corpse in the coffin, feeling that something was amiss.

The bronze coffin in front of us is clearly just an ordinary coffin; it's impossible for it to have the ability to keep someone from decaying for thousands of years.

If that's the case, how were the bodies inside preserved so well?

He was not only as if he were asleep, but even the wound on his severed arm was still fresh, a bloody mess.

There must be something strange about this.

"Shh!"

Suddenly, the man with the missing arm in the coffin opened his eyes.

He saw the crowd gathered around the coffin momentarily lost in thought.

A few seconds later, he came to his senses and immediately drew the sword beside him, and with a somersault, he stood up from the coffin.

He brandished his sword and thrust it directly into the fat man's chest.

Before the fat man could react, the tip of the sword was already at his chest.

"Fatty, watch out!"

Zhang Hao pulled the fat man aside to dodge the attack.

"call……"

"Brother Zhang Hao, I owe you a lot just now, otherwise I would have died at his hands."

"Now is not the time to talk about this!"

The one-armed soldier, having failed in his first attack, turned and launched another.

What's puzzling is that Zhang Hao was the one who opened the coffin, but his sword was always aimed at the fat man.

"Fatty, what did you move?"

"No, I didn't touch anything."

"You didn't do anything, so why did he only kill you?"

The fat man looked helpless: "I don't know either. Could it be that he's targeting me because I said the general likes him?"

"It's already this hour and you're still talking nonsense!"

As he spoke, the one-armed guy had already pointed his sword at the fat man.

Zhang Hao reached out and grabbed the sword. With a slight effort, the sword broke in two with a loud "bang".

Zhang Hao gripped the short sword, flipped it over, and pressed the tip of the sword against the one-armed man's neck.

The one-armed man tried to struggle, but he quickly realized that he was fast, and Zhang Hao was even faster.

No matter which direction he came from, he couldn't escape Zhang Hao's control.

Left with no other option, he stopped struggling and looked at Zhang Hao in shock, asking:

"Who are you? Why is this place so powerful? I've never heard of you before."

Zhang Hao grinned: "We're not from the same era, so of course you haven't heard of me. I'm asking you, why did you only kill him?"

"He is the leader of the Ku Kingdom. It was he who led his men to attack us, which resulted in me losing an arm!"

Only then did everyone understand why the one-armed guy who came out of the bronze coffin was chasing after the fat man.

"what?"

"You're saying I'm the leader of the Ku Kingdom?"

The fat man looked completely bewildered.

His understanding of the She Kingdom was limited to snippets from books; if he hadn't come to the Qinling Mountains, he wouldn't have known much more about it.

Now this one-armed guy is claiming to be the leader of the Ku Kingdom.

The fat man stared at the mummified corpse on the throne on the altar: "I don't look like him at all, except that we're both men."

"No, I can't possibly be mistaken. I'd recognize you even if you turned to ashes!"

No matter how the fat man explained, the one-armed guy was convinced that he was the leader of the Ku Kingdom.

The one-armed man froze when his gaze fell on the wrist of the mummified corpse on the throne on the altar.

"How did the snake bracelet end up in his possession?"

"The snake bracelet is the token of the chief of the She Kingdom. The people of She Kingdom value it more than their own lives. How could they possibly allow an outsider to wear it?"

"Who is he?"

"and who are you?"

“I told you he was the leader of the She Kingdom. I live a thousand years in a different era from yours, how could I possibly be the leader of the She Kingdom?”

The one-armed guy glanced at the mummified corpse on the throne and then at the fat man.

"You say, a thousand years have passed? What year is it tonight?"

"It's the 21st century now."

"Where is the general? And where is the prince?"

"They've all become ghost soldiers!"

"vomit……"

Upon hearing this, the man with the missing arm coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His face turned deathly pale instantly, losing all color in a few seconds, as if he had aged decades.

"The general and the prince are both gone. What's the point of me living alone?"

As he spoke, the one-armed man rammed himself into the broken sword in Zhang Hao's hand.

Zhang Hao quickly retrieved the broken sword, causing Zhang Hao to miss and fall to the ground.

He lay on the ground like a lump of mud, unable to get up for a long time.

"The records in the Riverwood Collection state that you hid in the Qinling Mountains to escape the emperor's pursuit and clashed with the She people. Things can't be that simple, can they?"

"What? How do you know about Hemuji?"

The man with the missing arm was initially shocked, but then he felt relieved.

"Never mind, a thousand years have passed, and the world has changed beyond recognition. We came to the Qinling Mountains not to escape the emperor's pursuit, but to find a way for the emperor to achieve immortality."

In his twilight years, the emperor became obsessed with the method of achieving immortality. A sorcerer told him that there was a tribe in the world that worshipped snakes and had mastered a way to achieve immortality.

By offering sacrifices, one can summon the serpent god who lives underground, and by offering enough sacrifices, one can be granted immortality.

So the emperor ordered the prince to find a way to achieve immortality, which is why we were sent here.

When we found our way deep into the Qinling Mountains, we unexpectedly entered the tomb of the Ku Kingdom and had a great battle with their tomb guardians.

I lost my arm and passed out in the battle. When I woke up, I saw a group of you.

Moreover, he looks exactly like the leader of the Ku Kingdom, which is why I attacked him!

"Have you found a way to achieve immortality?"

The one-armed man shook his head: "No, but we found a clue from the She people. There is an ancient tomb in Misty Village, Qianzhou, which contains the real method of immortality. It is said to be a method of immortality by preserving consciousness and constantly changing the body."

"vomit……"

Before the one-armed man could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood and completely lost his life force.

The next second, his body shattered into countless fragments and vanished into thin air without a trace.
