My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 415 - 412 Treasure Hunt (Part 3)

The ceiling of the tomb chamber was inlaid with dazzling Luminous Pearls, their soft halo casting the entire chamber in an exceptionally bright light.

On both sides of the walls were carved with painting after painting, scenes of The Sun rising, the roaring sea, the ravaging winds, and the earth shattering apart... Except for the first painting, which seemed normal, the rest were filled with a brutal aura.

"What is the meaning behind carving such paintings?"

Gao Fei murmured lowly.

Soon, Gao Fei's attention was attracted by the Bronze Coffin.

"I'm very curious! Who exactly is lying inside this coffin?" Gao Fei whispered.

"Just open the coffin and you'll know," Immortal Master Huang said. "According to the map, that Innate Spiritual Treasure is inside the coffin."

"Innate Spiritual Treasure..." A glint of light flashed in Gao Fei's eyes. "In that case, we must open this coffin." Gao Fei stepped forward and walked around the coffin. "Why are there human statues placed around the coffin?"

"There's definitely a reason," Immortal Master Huang said. "It's probably some kind of custom."

"Something's off," Gao Fei slowly furrowed his brows.

"What's off?" Immortal Master Huang asked. "What did you find?"

"These human statues are not right," Gao Fei reached out and touched one of the statues, "Crack!" The human statue suddenly split open, or to be precise... its outer layer cracked open, revealing the inside... bones... Yes, it was bones...

Gao Fei's eyes widened in shock. How could there be bones? Bones inside a statue?

Could it be...

These were not statues but made out of living people.

"What a cruel method," Gao Fei shuddered. "To seal living people inside and suffocate them to death."

"Truly cruel," Immortal Master Huang said. "Such acts... only you humans could do them... We of the Demon Race could never do such a thing..."

"To bury living people with the dead! Aren't they afraid of retribution?" Gao Fei lifted his hammer and smashed it towards the Bronze Coffin with all the rage he could muster, the force was monstrous and mighty.

"Boom!!!"

The hammer struck the Bronze Coffin with a huge sound, causing Gao Fei's ears to ring.

Gao Fei shook his head and looked down, the Bronze Coffin was unscathed.

"Wow, that's pretty sturdy," Gao Fei lifted his hammer and smashed it down again.

"Boom!!!"

Another loud noise rang out.

"I refuse to believe I can't break you open," Gao Fei's stubbornness kicked in, he gripped the hammer with both hands and started hammering away at the Bronze Coffin.

"Pfft!"

The Bronze Coffin suddenly moved a bit, or to be precise, the coffin lid moved.

Under Gao Fei's astonished gaze, the lid slowly opened, releasing a cold air from inside the coffin, and the entire tomb chamber immediately became chilly.

"What's happening?" Gao Fei was stunned. "How did the lid open automatically? Could it be... I inadvertently triggered a mechanism?" Just as Gao Fei was about to step forward to check, an abnormality occurred.

"Snap!"

A large hand covered in green fur stretched out from the coffin.

"Damn! What kind of monster is this!" Gao Fei jumped back in fright, hurrying to retreat.

"Sigh..." A sigh came from the gourd, "My young friend, your luck... really is too good, to encounter such a rare thing," Immortal Master Huang remarked.

"What is that?" Gao Fei asked.

"Zombies," Immortal Master Huang stated word by word, "and they are high-level zombies."

"Zombies?" Gao Fei was stunned, "Are there really zombies in this world?"

"Of course, there are," said Immortal Master Huang. "Under special conditions, a corpse can slowly turn into a zombie. Zombies also have levels. White-haired zombies are the lowest level, mindless and devoid of wisdom.

Black-haired zombies are a bit more powerful, possessing a little bit of wisdom, but green-haired zombies are formidable, not only possessing great abilities but also extremely high wisdom..."

"Green hair?" Gao Fei's face twitched violently, "The zombie in the coffin... seems to have green hair..."

"That's why you're in big trouble," Immortal Master Huang sighed.

"What realm would a green-haired zombie correspond to?"

"The Soul Out of Aperture Stage... perhaps even more powerful..."

"..."

"You only have one option, which is to set me free and let me deal with this green-haired zombie. I'm at the Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivation, and it would be easy for me to wipe out a green-haired zombie. Don't hesitate anymore, hurry up and let me out," Immortal Master Huang urged anxiously.

Gao Fei furrowed his brows tightly, but said nothing.

"What are you hesitating for? The green-haired zombie is coming!" Immortal Master Huang said urgently, "Release me quickly or it will be too late."

A green-haired monster crawled out of the coffin, its eyes flashing with fierce light as it waved its hands in the air and uttered bizarre syllables.

Gao Fei held his hammer across his chest, his eyes firmly fixed on the green-haired monster.

"Was it you who woke me up?" the green-haired creature suddenly spoke, its voice hoarse and unpleasant.

"...It's a misunderstanding," Gao Fei mustered a weak smile, "really a misunderstanding! I entered this place unintentionally and out of curiosity opened the bronze coffin... I didn't mean to disturb you... I will leave now, immediately!" He stepped back as he spoke.

"Stop." The green-haired creature snorted, "Do you take me for a three-year-old child? That I'd be so easily fooled?"

"No, it's not..."

"Actually, when it comes down to it, I should thank you."

"Ah?" Gao Fei was taken aback, "You want to thank me?"

"Yes," the green-haired monster nodded, "if it weren't for you waking me up, I would have kept sleeping, not knowing when I'd awaken."

"So it turns out, my blunder was actually a help to you?"

"Yes."

"Then can I leave now?"

"No," the green-haired creature shook its head, "I've just awakened and my body is somewhat weak. I need to consume your flesh and blood to recover."

"What?" Gao Fei's complexion changed dramatically, "My flesh is stinky and tough, not tasty at all."

"Doesn't matter, as long as it helps me recover my strength," the green-haired monster moved towards Gao Fei. With each step it took, the tomb shook.

"Quickly let me out," said Immortal Master Huang, "Now only I can save you!"

Should he release Immortal Master Huang? Gao Fei was indecisive. In his mind, Immortal Master Huang was just as dangerous as the green-haired monster. Letting Immortal Master Huang out would be easy, but trying to get him back in would be difficult. If Immortal Master Huang turned against him... Gao Fei would be in trouble.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."

As Gao Fei was undecided, the small vial in his arms suddenly began to tremble.

"Eh?" Gao Fei took out the vial in confusion and then opened the cap, "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..." Hundreds of tiny insects flew out.

"Ah?" The green-haired creature cried out in surprise and quickly retreated. It seemed to be very afraid of the little insects.
