Tomb Raiding: All Things Merge, Starting with 400x Strength

Normally, the person buried in the tomb would not want their coffin to be opened.

Not only that, they would also set up all sorts of deadly mechanisms and traps to prevent others from entering their tombs.

But the Lu Palace was no ordinary place. Someone distributed a map of the Lu Palace, attracting wave after wave of people to come here and enter the ancient tomb.

Although the ancient tomb was full of traps and mechanisms, after finding the coffin of the tomb's occupant, he inscribed on it that there was an elixir of immortality inside.

The allure of elixirs of immortality is undeniable. Even knowing they might be fake or a trap, few would be willing to miss out on such an opportunity.

Even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, they would open the coffin to verify it, just to give it a try.

All signs indicate that someone is plotting something in secret, deliberately spreading maps of the Lu Palace to lure people here.

Then they used the elixir of immortality to lure people into opening the coffin.

Uncle Wu pulled Zhang Hao and Wu Tianzhen apart: "You two, step aside. I suspect there are extremely dangerous mechanisms inside the coffin. Once the coffin is opened, it will kill someone."

"Third Brother, if it's really that dangerous, then I should be the one to activate it."

"No, you younger generation are the hope of the family, I absolutely cannot let you take risks!"

Even though Uncle Wu knew Zhang Hao's strength, he was still unwilling to let him take risks when faced with deadly danger.

Zhang Hao was well aware of his own strength: a body as hard as diamond, and the Qilin blood that could ward off evil, repel insects, and detoxify.

Neither hidden arrows nor poisonous smoke inside the coffin had any effect on him.

But Uncle Wu and his group are different; if there were really deadly traps, they could easily lose their lives.

The casualties of the team will directly affect how many fusion opportunities you can get when clearing the ancient tomb.

Therefore, the best way to ensure safety in case of any mishap is for him to open the coffin.

He knew he couldn't go against Uncle Wu's wishes.

Helpless, he could only stand aside, keeping a close eye on the bronze coffin.

In case of danger, with the current 500% speed boost and the spider's senses, we should be able to rescue you in time.

Uncle Wu, Fatty, Panzi, and Da Kui stood at the four corners of the coffin. First, they used daggers to draw a circle around the coffin, separating the lid from the body.

Four people, each lifting a corner, shouted a slogan and then lifted the coffin lid open.

After opening the coffin, several people swiftly dropped the lid and hid to the side, staring at the contents inside.

"Uncle Wu, it seems we've been worrying too much."

"Yes, Third Master, there were no hidden arrows, and no poisonous smoke either. Do you think the elixir of immortality might just be a scare tactic that goes against the grain?"

Uncle Wu nodded: "It's not impossible. Let's observe for a while longer."

Several more minutes passed, and there was still no movement from inside the coffin.

"Panzi, go check out the situation."

"Yes, Third Master."

Pan Zi responded and carefully approached the coffin, then glanced inside.

His eyes widened instantly, staring intently into the coffin with a gleam in them.

"Third Master, it's safe. There are lots of treasures inside!"

Hearing that there was no danger, everyone moved closer.

Zhang Hao looked into the coffin and saw that there was another coffin inside, smaller than the first, with a gap of several tens of centimeters between them.

The gaps were filled with various gold, silver, jewelry, gemstones and jade artifacts.

When the searchlight shone inside, it was dazzlingly golden, making the skin of those who looked inside appear as if it were glittering with jewels.

"My goodness, this is so precious!"

"Each one of these items must be priceless!"

"Fatty's prize is sorted out. Brother Zhang Hao, you don't mind me picking one from there, right?"

……

"breathe……"

Just as everyone was caught up in their excitement, a strange voice suddenly rang in their ears.

"What is this sound?"

"It feels like the sound is coming from inside a coffin!"

"Could there be a rice dumpling inside?"

……

If you listen closely, the sound does indeed resemble breathing.

However, the coffin was airtight, and a person inside would suffocate to death in no time.

The people inside have been lying there for at least a thousand years, so it's impossible for them to be alive. How could there be any breathing sounds?

The fat man pressed his ear against the side of the bronze coffin and listened for a while before saying, "Is that the zombie inside breathing?"

"Get lost! Zongzi are all corpses that have turned into zombies. They're dead people, and how can dead people breathe!"

"There's no point in guessing. Why don't we just keep opening the coffin? There are so many of us, are we afraid of just one rice dumpling?"

Seeing that he couldn't figure it out, the fat man simply gave up guessing and wanted to open the coffin directly.

"Yeah, open the coffin. What's there to be afraid of about rice dumplings!"

Pan Zi and Da Kui echoed their agreement.

So the group continued opening the coffin. The coffin inside the bronze outer coffin was much smaller than the bronze one, and Panzi and Da Kui could handle it on their own.

While they were opening the coffin, the fat man picked out treasures from the gap between the coffin and the outer coffin.

"With so many treasures, each one priceless, which one should I choose?"

Faced with such temptation, the fat man couldn't make up his mind at all; giving up either one would be a painful decision.

"Fatty, let me tell you, you can't pick out treasures while we're working. Hurry up and help open the coffin."

"You two were doing fine, why did you have to drag me along?"

"You're not allowed to take anything from inside unless you help!"

Upon hearing this, the fat man hurriedly dropped the treasure he was holding and helped open the coffin.

The outer bronze coffin was too tall, making it difficult for several people to open the inner coffin. After discussing it, they decided to carry the coffin out.

"breathe……"

After the coffin was carried out, the breathing sounds coming from inside became clearer, as if a person was sleeping soundly in the coffin.

Fatty, Panzi, and Da Kui stood at the same end of the coffin, put their hands on the coffin lid, and then pulled together.

With a "bang," the coffin lid was pushed open, flying a meter or two away before landing on the ground.

Before anyone could think of anything else, they all immediately looked into the coffin.

Inside the coffin lay a corpse draped in jade clothing. Upon closer inspection, one could see his belly rising and falling, just like a person breathing.

"My goodness, this old geezer is still alive! Look, he's still breathing!"

As soon as the fat man finished speaking, the corpse in the coffin sat up abruptly.

"Ghost, ghost!"

Da Kui screamed in terror and ran away, keeping a safe distance from the coffin.
