Imperial Treasure

Chapter 583 - 377 Must

As he finished speaking, a frown flickered across Sui Yi’s brow.

So, the rope that previously wanted to kill her—or rather, the tentacle—was a whisker from the witchcraft?

And within that coffin...

The man’s breathing gradually ceased as if snuffed out, saying, "They’re about to open the coffin."

The voice was faint, and chillingly cold.

If they opened the coffin and the occupant inside, evil and adept at witchcraft, who had persisted for more than two thousand years, was dead, it would become reanimated!

If alive... that would be even worse.

The powers of everyone present combined wouldn’t be enough to contend with the other party!

But here, they were unable to contact anyone outside. Sui Yi had already discovered that his communicator had stopped working.

Either there was a situation above with Feng Sha, or Second Master Gong had tampered with the communicator from the start, or else there was some force inside the tomb chamber using a jammer...

If they tried to run back and inform Yhan Qingwu and the others, it would take at least twenty minutes.

There wasn’t enough time!

Sui Yi pressed his palm against the wall, saying nothing. By now, his strength had significantly returned. He had some vision in the dark and his hearing had also recovered...

Indeed, there was a faint sound coming up through the space beneath his feet...

Beneath was the Main Tomb Chamber.

It was obvious.

"The whisker is connected to the coffin. If we find the whisker, we can find the access point between this upper space and the Main Tomb Chamber below," Sui Yi thought. The man clearly thought so too, as both simultaneously ran towards the spot where the whisker had vanished after dodging them!

—Underneath the half-human Bai Xi’s skull!

Only now did she clearly see the man’s face...

Well, plain and square.

But his expression was very stiff.

However, his height and physique, along with his voice, showed that he was a young man.

At least one meter eighty-five, with a tall and handsome physique, wearing black pants and military boots, topped with a leather jacket...

Sui Yi only glanced at him before saying, "Let’s each lift its skull... one of us will guard against the whisker’s sneak attack."

The man nodded, "I’ll lift its head."

Pausing, he said, "The whisker fears you."

Fear?

Sui Yi couldn’t really say it was because of the mark seared onto his heart.

He never thought he’d be saved because of that woman’s one act of cruelty.

The man must be very strong; otherwise, he wouldn’t have arrived here completely unharmed. And the half-human Bai Xi’s skull weighed perhaps two meters in diameter, actually at least four or five hundred pounds...

But this person was willing to lift the half-human Bai Xi’s head, his hands would then be occupied, essentially entrusting his life to Sui Yi.

And he did not hesitate at all.

Does this person recognize me?

Feeling puzzled, Sui Yi watched as the man slid his blade into his belt and slowly began to lift the head from the side...

The floor beneath became exposed... just beneath the Bai Xi’s jawbone, a very small hole was revealed.

It seemed only big enough to allow a single whisker to pass through, though Sui Yi knew the whisker to be very flexible, expanding and contracting easily. If it contracted, a dozen or more could weave in and out with no issue...

At that moment, a whisker was still hooked to the Bai Xi’s jawbone, probably passing into the brain from beneath the jaw, connected to the coffin below.

A direct line and now because the man was lifting the skull, the whisker started to writhe and twist...

In just a flash...

Whoosh!

A second whisker suddenly shot out of the jawbone hole!

It stabbed towards the man’s head!

Sui Yi’s hand quickly twisted, his Demon Que slashing at it like lightning!

Thud!

Half of the long beard fell to the ground; the tip retracted back..

The long beard from the hole also fell, disappearing from the opening.. It must have dropped down.

I wonder if the people below still think it’s a rope?

If they notice something amiss, will they decide not to touch the coffin?

Sui Yi was not optimistic about this, considering that eight or nine out of ten people in those groups were likely here for this very coffin. How could they just give up because of a strange long beard.

The man glanced at Sui Yi, forcefully shifted his head to the side...

Until that hole was fully exposed.

"The hole is too small; unless we blow it open, neither you nor I can get down.."

If we can’t get down and running over is too late, then what should we do?

Sui Yi’s eyes flickered slightly, as she took off her backpack and drew out a cellphone... and a long earphone cord.

The man looked at her, at first bewildered, then instantly understood, followed by an odd look in his eyes.

"You intend to thread this earphone through the hole... and sound it down?"

"Let’s try, but I need you to block that long beard for me; they’ve started to crawl out," she said.

The man glanced aside, and wasn’t there several long beards spreading out from underneath the nearby head.

One was just a fist’s distance from her back.

Her brow did not move an inch.

"Hmm," the man stood up, drew the weapon at his waist, spun it in his palm, and scraped it on the ground.. The long beards retreated fearfully...

Clearly, they also feared this person’s weapon!

At this moment, Sui Yi wasn’t paying attention to this. She focused on inserting the earphone cord into the hole, which was just the right size. According to her Magnetic Sensation, the stone slab at this spot was much thinner, about half a meter thick, and the earphone cord stretched to a meter long.

Meanwhile, below in the Main Tomb Chamber, Gong Jiu and the others were trying various Climbing Techniques..

"Dammit! The person who built this must’ve been a nutcase, what’s with this slide, it’s lethal!"

"Han Gao, give us some of your saliva, see if it’ll stick.. Holy crap, not on me!"

Just as Gong Jiu and the others were full of complaints, wishing they could drag out the tomb’s owner and whip their corpse...

Suddenly!

"It seems like there’s a sound,"

"There definitely is..."

"Silence!"

Gong Jiu and his companions quieted down, and after hearing the melody, they immediately recognized it as music, and then...

"The vast edge of the sky is my love,

Underneath the unending green mountains, flowers are blooming,

What rhythm has the ultimate sway,

What kind of singing brings the greatest joy,

The winding river comes from the sky,

Flowing towards the sea of Thousands of Purples and Reds,

The fiery hot folk songs are our anticipation,

Walking and singing along the road is the freest way,

If we sing, we sing with utter joy,

You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky,

..."

Gong Jiu and the others: "...."

Below in the Main Tomb Chamber, those in the midst of a fight abruptly stopped their weapons and attacks, and the foreigner who was prepared to forcibly open the sarcophagus dropped his specialized tool with a clang.

No sound of a needle hitting the floor could be heard here.

Their minds were filled with the song coming down from above...

"You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky~~~"

Thump thump clang, thump thump clang! (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to support it by voting at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
