Just then, in the center of the hollow, an ancient stone coffin slowly rose, as if lifted by an invisible hand, and slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

The surface of the stone coffin is covered with intricate patterns, each stroke revealing a power and majesty that does not belong to this world.

These patterns resemble some kind of ancient script, recording a long-forgotten history, waiting for someone destined to decipher them.

The appearance of the stone coffin seemed to shroud the entire altar in a mysterious light, and an indescribable tension and anticipation filled the air.

However, this tranquility did not last long. As the sarcophagus was fully revealed, the calm water at the edge of the altar suddenly boiled, splashing everywhere, as if stirred by an invisible force.

Immediately afterwards, a series of deafening roars came from beneath the water, and ancient bloodsucking worms of varying sizes and ferocious shapes seemed to be summoned, leaping wildly out of the water and rushing towards the stone coffin without regard for anything else.

These bloodsucking worms are transparent, with dark red blood flowing inside them, shimmering with an eerie light. Their eyes are filled with greed and desire, as if they want to devour everything in the stone coffin.

In the blink of an eye, the stone coffin was enveloped by these bloodsucking worms, which wriggled and intertwined on the surface of the coffin, forming a dense and terrifying net.

The tentacles of the bloodsucking worms rubbed against the stone coffin, making a rustling sound, like countless tiny venomous snakes crawling, which made one's scalp tingle.

The scene was both disgusting and shocking, as if it were a concentrated manifestation of nature's most primal fear and greed, sending chills down one's spine.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Zhang Hao and his group looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubt.

"What exactly is inside the stone coffin that could attract these ancient bloodsucking worms?"

"It must have been a former king of Medog, otherwise who would have the means to bury him in such a place?"

"No, it should be the high priest. Even ancient kings were not qualified to be buried in a place like a temple, so the person in the stone coffin should be the high priest!"

……

Everyone speculated about what kind of deity lay in the stone coffin that could attract such a terrifying creature.

However, no one can be certain who is inside the stone coffin. The only way to find out who is buried in the stone coffin is to open it.

After a heated discussion, everyone finally agreed that only by opening the coffin could all the mysteries be solved.

However, they must find a way to drive away those greedy bloodsucking worms.

Just then, Zhang Qilin resolutely stepped forward, cut his finger, and gently dripped a drop of Qilin blood, which contained ancient power, onto the stone coffin.

However, to everyone's disappointment, although these ancient bloodsucking worms moved a little slower, they still stubbornly circled the stone coffin and refused to leave.

They seemed indifferent to Zhang Qilin's Qilin blood, still greedily staring at the unknown within the stone coffin.

Zhang Qilin frowned and shook his head. Clearly, his Qilin blood was not as effective as expected against these bloodsucking insects.

"I never imagined that the ancient bloodsucking worms were so powerful; they weren't even afraid of the young man's blood!"

"This is the first time such a situation has occurred, which shows that the ancient bloodsucking worms are extraordinary!"

"What do we do now? If we can't get rid of the ancient bloodsucking worms, we can't open the coffin!"

Just when everyone was at a loss, Zhang Hao stepped forward.

There might be clues to the bronze door of Medog inside the stone coffin, so opening the coffin is imperative.

Zhang Hao slowly approached the stone coffin. Similarly, he cut his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood onto the surface of the stone coffin.

This drop of blood seems to contain a Qilin power that is even purer and more powerful than Zhang Qilin's.

Upon contact with the stone coffin, the stubborn bloodsucking worms seemed to have encountered their natural enemy, scattering and fleeing instantly. Some even dived directly into the water and disappeared without a trace.

This scene shocked everyone present. They all looked at Zhang Hao with admiration and envy, praising his Qilin blood power repeatedly.

After successfully driving away the ancient bloodsucking worms, everyone took a deep breath and began preparing to open the coffin.

They carefully circled the stone coffin, their tools gleaming coldly, as if they were about to unveil a long-forgotten history.

Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin stood side by side, exchanging a smile, their eyes filled with tacit understanding and trust.

They carefully pried open the lid of the sarcophagus, each movement appearing exceptionally heavy and cautious.

As the stone coffin lid was slowly pushed open, an even more ancient and powerful aura rushed out, accompanied by a slight creaking sound, and the inside of the stone coffin was finally revealed to everyone.
