Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Sensing the chilling aura within the coffin, Qin Henian and his two companions clearly knew more information than those present.

For example, the corpse in this coffin will definitely rise from the dead! Because it already has the potential to rise from the dead, and with Wu Xie present, out of 1,800 people, 2,400 are absolutely certain of this possibility!!

"If we can't put it down to check, we'd better not touch it!"

Wu Xie had a certain understanding of his own physique, and he already kept his distance from it after the first time he thought about it.

In short... no matter which ancient Chinese ancestor is inside, he has a "heart condition," so please don't let him come out and scare him...

"I can leave it alone, I have money anyway! Besides, Wu Xie, you're too weird!"

Qin Henian didn't want to open this kind of coffin either; if it fell down and dirtied his new clothes, it would be a real loss! You have to understand that the material of his clothes is different from everyone else's!

"Hehe... This... this isn't my fault, is it?"

Wu Xie smiled awkwardly, responding to Qin Henian's words.

"Let's find the mechanism first! It's not appropriate to stay here any longer; it's all empty, and it's clearly not what I'm looking for!"

Qin Henian could sense the faint aura of the meteorite jade in the tomb. Because he had come into close contact with it before in the Queen Mother of the West's Palace, even if he didn't know where the meteorite jade in this tomb was, he had a general idea. He could tell from the aura that the meteorite jade here was much smaller than the one in the Queen Mother of the West's Palace.

It's obvious without even guessing, that old woman with the guts is the one who found such a large piece...

"Separate and search for the mechanism."

Upon hearing his prince's order, the pig-faced leader raised his hand and made a gesture, and the masked figures around him orderly formed teams and dispersed.

Black Bear, standing nearby, watched this procession, tears of envy welling up inside him. Why wasn't he so lucky? To have such impressive subordinates following him around—it would be incredibly prestigious to take them out like that!

Of course, Hei Xiazi didn't forget the main task. He called out to the guys around him, and together with Zhang Qilin and the others, they began to search for mechanisms in the empty tomb.

The sound of footsteps echoed haphazardly throughout the tomb. Qin Henian, who disliked trouble, simply plopped down on the ground, waiting for others to finish their work while looking up at the figure that had awakened in his senses.

Huhu~

A gentle breeze seemed to waft through the tomb, brushing against Qin Henian's face and cheeks as he lazed around, his eyes fixed on the large, round coffin above him with a hint of curiosity.

The coffin above did not disappoint Qin Henian. Just a short while after a gentle breeze blew by, a faint creaking sound rang out in the air. It was caught by most of the skilled people in the tomb, and they all tensed up, their eyes scanning the surroundings.

Creak... Ah!

The lights suddenly converged, with numerous beams hitting the same spot.

The circular bronze base was crooked and pitted, cracking into a rather thick, irregular fissure. Ten bright red, sharp fingernails protruded, gripping the sides of the crack. The stark colors of the bronze walls immediately drew everyone's attention. All eyes were fixed on the crack, bodies tense... Some reached for their knives, some drew their guns, some grabbed crossbows specially engraved with images of prisoners... In an instant, all sorts of weapons were "held" in everyone's hands.

Squeak...

The sound rang out again, and the crack in the bronze wall, accompanied by creaking sounds, widened.

The long, bright red fingernails stretched outwards again, until a pair of small, pale hands with "evenly plump and thin" fingers were revealed. The small hands gripped the bronze walls blocking its way on both sides, trying hard, but the bronze walls did not react for a long time.

"Pfft!"

Seeing this, Qin Henian couldn't help himself. His lips curled into a wide grin, his eyes crinkling, and a few small, white teeth flashed across his face. Hearing himself laugh out loud, Qin Henian quickly covered his mouth with his hand. Laughing at others is wrong! Even if they aren't human, it's still wrong. Everything has its own laws of survival!

Thinking this, Qin Henian felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained.

"Cough cough...cough cough~ Um, I didn't mean to. I was just thinking that if the dead person in the coffin is going to come back to life, then so be it. The corpse is alive, but why is it acting like a timid wife? It's not even willing to open the door, and it can't exert any force. Is this what they call 'not making a sound' on TV?"

"That's why I couldn't help myself just now; the force was like a kitten's, it was kind of funny..."

Qin Henian sensed a change in the corpse inside the bronze coffin, and there seemed to be some strange energy fluctuations around its head. It was for this reason that he had been observing the situation, wanting to see what was wrong with the guy's brain. Little did he know that this would be the result...

"Pfft! Hahaha... My little Henian's mouth is as sweet as honey, he really knows how to comment! I'm impressed!"

"However, the blind man thinks that the guy inside probably saw our young master arrive, so he's eager to come out and meet his lover."

Hei Xiazi, adhering to the principle that it's better to trouble others than to trouble himself, directly shifted the blame.

Wu Xie, who had just been placed in the cauldron, shuddered as the strange power within him flared up again.

No way, no way! Could it be that the "female corpse" in the coffin really lived for too long and was looking for a partner, so she wanted to use him as a scapegoat?!

As Wu Xie pondered, his thoughts wandered, and he shuddered. He moved closer to Xie Yuchen, who was closest to him, and grabbed the merchant's arm with both hands, trembling.

While the group was still fooling around, the ancient corpse inside the coffin couldn't wait any longer. It eagerly pressed its pale, white hands against the round wall and exerted a sudden force.

Click! Click! Click…

The ensuing sound, echoing the ancient corpse's powerful thrust, effectively caused a large crack to appear at the bottom of the round coffin hanging from the ceiling. As the hand gradually extended, the arm was revealed, along with the rose-red hem of the garment and the flat, withered body without breasts or buttocks. Gradually, as time passed, a withered, round ball of flesh without facial features or hair, along with its neck, was fully exposed.

With a "thud," the faceless, formless humanoid creature landed on the ground, turning its fleshy "head" to stare at them.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this thing?! It's so ugly!"

Qin Henian's pupils were practically trembling. He'd seen people this ugly before, but seeing one so close up suddenly made him a little excited.

It's not that he's impolite, it's just that he's completely incapable of being polite...

This suddenly appearing species was so ugly it made his eyes water...
