Chapter 2502: Coffin hidden in the tree
After confirming that there were no other mechanisms, Lin Ran decided to take the risk.
Take the wooden box out of his hands.
The body was already rigor mortis, and it still took a lot of effort to take out the wooden box.
The moment the wooden box was taken out, the image of the previously well-preserved male corpse suddenly changed.
The corpse, which was still in a specific posture, was covered tightly with golden threads.
Suddenly, the golden silk clothes began to dent.
In an instant, it turned into a mummy.
The speed of this decay is truly unspeakable.
And it was still shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the gold thread clothes completely shrank in.
Everyone dared to watch this strange phenomenon silently.
"This wooden box can actually prevent corpses from decaying?" Lin Ran was also quite surprised.
Although there are indeed some methods in ancient times that can slow down the decomposition of corpses, they are nothing more than mercury, antiseptic beads and the like.
In fact, the effect it can achieve is extremely limited, because the decomposition of corpses is actually related to the activities of microorganisms. In the cold and humid underground environment, microorganisms must exist.
As long as they are not all killed, they will multiply until all the corpses are decomposed.
But in an open environment, the body may also become weathered.
It is really rare that a body can be kept intact for so long just by holding a wooden box.
"This wooden box is a treasure!" Huang Hao was the first to react.
Others also looked at the wooden box. It seemed that this inconspicuous wooden box had the effect of preventing the body from decaying.
Lin Ran lifted the wooden box and fiddled with it in his hands.
But he seemed a little worried.
Lin Ran was about to open the wooden box. Wang Jinpeng's wound was torn due to the violent exercise just now, and now he fell to the ground.
Not counting the wooden box in his hand, Lin Ran came to Wang Jinpeng's side with the others.
"What's wrong?" Lin Ran asked. Only he and Guan Yun had some knowledge about emergency wound treatment, so he had to ask clearly about the situation.
"It's nothing, it just hurts." Wang Jinpeng smiled bitterly and tried to get up.
In the end, he just sat up and put his hands on the edge of the stone bed.
The stone bed, which originally looked very solid, turned over instantly when he put it up with his hands.
Fortunately, Guan Yun had quick eyes and quick hands and pulled him aside.
The stone bed did not fall completely, it just tilted at an angle.
However, the entire stone bed seemed to be sunken and much shorter.
Lin Ran's eyes widened.
He just ignored one thing. The stone bed in front of him was probably also a trap!
When everyone was asking about Wang Jinpeng's injury, Lin Ran looked around cautiously.
"Ka... Ka"
The huge sound of the machine echoed in the tomb.
They instantly felt the ground beneath their feet shaking slightly.
"what happened?"
Everyone gathered together, worried that it was another trap.
He was already hanging on with only half his life left. If it happened again, Wang Jinpeng might not be able to bear it.
Because he had been paying attention to his surroundings, Lin Ran quickly determined the source of the sound.
It's the tree tower ahead.
And it's not that the ground beneath their feet is shaking, it's just...
At the bottom of the tree tower, there was a huge stone door, which was slowly opening.
With a "stab" sound, the sound of the door opening resounded throughout the cave.
At this time, others noticed that the tree tower, which was originally round and nearly perfect, had a huge gaping hole.
And, it seemed like something was stuck in the middle of the tree.
At the same time, the corpse above and the carrion bugs that were chewing on the corpse fell down. This scene can't help but make people almost suffer from trypophobia.
If you fall from a height, both bones and carrion insects will be shattered to pieces.
After a while, the shaking stopped.
I saw a looming light source at the bottom of the tree tower.
Everyone looked at each other and finally decided to go forward to check the situation together.
Although they were attacked by some carrion insects on the road, everyone took precautions and killed all the carrion insects.
We arrived under the giant tree tower.
It was incomprehensible from a distance, but standing under the tree tower, everyone showed stunned expressions.
Because, at the crack in the tree, there turned out to be a huge bronze coffin!
The surface of the bronze coffin is carved with a large number of simple patterns, and the surface is covered with many thick iron chains.
And these iron chains are actually directly connected to the inside of the tree.
The bronze coffin in front of me is three meters long!
Standing in front of it, you can feel an invisible pressure.
"This...is this?" Liu Jingfeng was a little incoherent.
Although it looks like the final coffin in the ancient tomb that was entered before, this ancient tomb can no longer be explained by common sense.
He had no way of knowing what creatures would appear after the bronze coffin was opened, let alone whether this was their final destination.
The owner of the tomb has long become a mystery.
After entering the ancient tomb, we kept seeing coffins, including stone coffins, stone beds, and the bronze coffin in front of us.
But none of the previous coffins gave them such a strong sense of oppression.
This volume, this shape.
There is no doubt that there is an extremely scary guy inside!
Just looking at the pomp and trap design, Qingqiu Demon Fox was just a gatekeeper. This guy's grade must be the highest in this tomb. As for whether there would be a follow-up, Lin Ran couldn't make a conclusion.
Hiding a bronze coffin in a tree is unheard of or even unthinkable to others.
Lin Ran had only heard of it in tomb robbing novels before.
The snake cypress and the corpse cricket are already legendary creatures, and they exist in the bronze coffin among the snake cypress.
He was also bound by a large number of iron chains, telling everyone that there was a very dangerous guy inside.
Lin Ran looked at the coffin in front of him, and then took a look inside the cave.
It is impossible to bypass this coffin and reach the tree hole.
"Are you willing to take an adventure with me?" Lin Ran asked in an extremely serious tone.
No previous ancient tomb had given him such a strong sense of oppression.
There is no other exit in the cave, and the bronze coffin is the only breakthrough.
But Lin Ran couldn't tell what he would encounter after opening it.
In the end, I decided to ask everyone for their opinions. After all, when you open the coffin in front of you, the probability of life and death is mixed, and the probability of death seems to be higher.
"Brother Lin, what are you talking about?" Wang Jinpeng saw everyone looking at each other and reluctantly got up and said, "Of course I believe Brother Lin."
Liu Jingfeng sighed, he understood what Wang Jinpeng meant.
He sighed and said: "Brother Lin, it's not that we don't respond to you, but that you suddenly asked this question and stopped us."
"That's right." Huang Hao said, "You want to open the bronze coffin, just do it."
