Chapter 480 Bronze Coffin
Chapter 480 Bronze Coffin
"The underground terrain is really complicated."
Looking at the moist and criss-crossing stone caves around him, Lu Luan sighed in his heart.
Moreover, the underground here is completely black. There is no magma, and there are no plants that emit light like in other places. It is completely dark.
Moreover, the further he went down, he found that the stones were getting wet, and the foul air inside was getting thicker and thicker. Although it was still at a normal temperature, it gave him a strange chill.
If a person practicing Qigong were to dive into these places, the foul air around them would corrode his entire body in a short while.
"There shouldn't be powerful creatures like Asura and Yaksha underground, right?" Xiao Can asked.
"No, there is none underground in the entire Blood Swamp. Asuras and Yakshas are not adapted to survive in such conditions." Lu Luan said.
Now these places underground are only suitable for those dark and filthy creatures to live in.
"Rustling."
A quarter of an hour later, strange noises began to be heard all around. Lu Luan stopped and sent out his entire soul.
It was discovered that in the moist and smooth cave, there were many white worms lying in all directions. They were ranging in length from three to ten meters long and were plump and looked like maggots.
"finally reached."
Lu Luan stopped. According to Lu Fenghai's memory, the place where the corpse was kept was within the population territory of this strange underground creature.
Of course, this species is not very strong, it is just at the level of high-level monsters, and their meat is smelly, and they absorb foul air to survive. Other underground creatures will not come to prey on them unless they are extremely hungry.
"Brother, are we almost there?"
Xiaocan asked.
"Yes, it's in this area." Lu Luan said.
He looked at the stone wall, where there were some fresh marks.
The underground environment is so complicated that when Lu Fenghai first came here, he conducted a carpet search. These marks were left by him, and it took him half a month to find the location.
Next, he shuttled through the territories of these strange insects, while gathering his true energy so as not to disturb the surrounding creatures.
"Brother, look, there are fragments of spiritual treasures."
As they walked, Xiao Can pointed to a place not far away and said.
There were several broken pieces of weapons.
Judging from the shape, it should be a sword, and it is quite old. At the same time, there are potholes and bumps around it left by fierce battles. I think someone came here to look for treasure and was killed by underground creatures. As for the corpse, it must have been eaten.
Seeing that it was worth a few intermediate spirit stones, Lu Luan opened his hand and sucked it in.
“It seems that there are cultivators coming into this place.”
Xiao Can said with some surprise.
"Although there is no sunlight and no spiritual energy underground, it is very deep. In fact, it is even more vast than the surface. There are also more treasures underground than on the surface. There must be cultivators who venture down to this kind of place from time to time to look for opportunities." Lu Luan replied.
With Lu Fenghai's memories, he is very familiar with the underground environment, and with his cultivation level, he will not encounter any danger.
After traveling for half an hour, the space in front of him suddenly became larger.
It is a vast and narrow area that is forty feet high, but a thousand feet wide, with densely packed thick stone pillars supporting the sky.
Overall, it looks like a clam shell, quite depressing, and shrouded in a gray fog with heavy moisture.
When we got to this place, besides the pungent smell of filth, there was also a smell of decay in the air, similar to the smell of rotting dead leaves in the forest after rain.
"arrive."
Lu Luan stood in a crack passage and looked ahead. There was a faint light emanating from this huge cave space.
"It seems to have a strange smell."
Xiao Can pinched his nose and said, then he sent his soul to explore and found that he encountered strong resistance.
"Brother, there's something strange about the gray fog. My soul can't penetrate it."
"It's a bit weird indeed."
Lu Luan tried it, but his soul could only cover a distance of fifty feet.
The gray fog seemed to be trapped in this space.
"Let's go."
Lu Fenghai had explored this place before, and although the gray fog was strange, it was not dangerous.
Then the two of them took a step and landed below.
Due to its low-lying location, the foul-smelling water that flowed through here deposited a lot of mud and sand, making it appear black. As soon as you stepped on it, the soil sank downwards, and streams of black and smelly water seeped out from your feet.
"Is this blood?"
Xiao Can immediately stepped in the air and asked with a frown.
Lu Luan pointed to a pupa shell not far away and said, "It's the same kind of insect that we saw before, which was rotten after death."
"insect?"
Xiao Can looked carefully and saw some figures moving from time to time under the gray fog.
"It's so creepy, brother, do you think there are a lot of zombies in here?"
Xiao Can couldn't help but tremble.
"No, except for the coffin in the center, there is no other danger here. This corpse-raising ground is abandoned."
Lu Luan said calmly, and then flew towards the center of the gray fog.
The place where Jindan's body was buried was deep inside.
Because of the accumulation of soil, this place is not as desolate as other places. There is a layer of plants covering the soil.
These plants have adapted to the foul air in the soil, and the constant rotting of insect corpses provides fertilizer, so they grow very well. There are also streams formed by the gathering of black water.
The deeper you go, the taller plants you can see. The fruits they bear are as big as your head, emitting faint green flames in the gray fog. When the wind blows, they sway slightly, and from a distance, they look like lanterns burning with will-o'-the-wisp.
At the same time, under the cover of these plants, you can also see some overturned coffins scattered everywhere.
"Brother, look at those chains."
Xiao Can looked up and pointed at the sky.
Lu Luan looked and saw several rusty iron chains wrapped around stone pillars. They were as thick as a man's waist and seemed to be used to restrain something terrible.
But now it is broken, and the rust is even covered with unknown small plants.
The further you go in, the more chains you see.
"Gah."
"Gah."
Suddenly, several creepy screams were heard all around.
Their appearance seemed to alarm the strange creatures living in there. Several creatures with long beaks, bat-like shapes, and red eyes let out sharp screams, and then flapped their fleshy wings as if frightened and flew away.
“It’s so spooky in here.”
Xiao Can looked at the scarlet eyes in the dark and moved closer to Lu Luan in fear.
"oops."
While flying, Lu Luan suddenly stopped, and Xiao Can bumped into him and was startled.
"This is it."
Lu Luan stopped in front of a pile of collapsed stone pillars.
At this moment, in front of the two people, there was a large pit dug by humans, with black soil piled around it. At the bottom of the pit, there was a jade stone altar that was twenty meters long and wide. On the stone altar, there was a bronze coffin that was ten meters long. It was higher in the front and lower in the back, with a copper-green surface. The coffin was carved with various patterns of birds and beasts.
It was quietly placed here, with weeds growing all around the coffin.
Although it was quiet, Lu Luan could feel that the foul air from underground was constantly gathering into the coffin.
"Is the body of the Jindan expert in here?"
Xiaocan asked.
“Well, this is what Lu Fenghai remembers.”
Lu Luan's expression became serious.
After all, he might be a zombie in the Jindan realm, and he was under a lot of pressure.
"Brother, look at this."
Xiao Can stood at the head of the coffin, seemed to have discovered something, and said to him.
Lu Luan walked over, and when he saw that thing, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Because white hair actually grew in the cracks of the coffin.
