Capítulo 1856: Chapter 1856: Bronze Ancient Coffin
Ye Chenfeng didn’t lift his head and said, “I know.”
He continued sifting through some bricks and stones in the ruins, while Cao|Ni|Ma was on alert, observing the surroundings.
It was already deep into the night, and with the sky darkened, it was as if you couldn’t even see your hand in front of you.
The world was silent, utterly still.
“He’s here.”
Cao|Ni|Ma said in a deep voice, already in battle mode.
An oppressive aura slowly filled the space, seemingly compressing it so tightly it was suffocating.
“Hiss!”
Suddenly, a violent surge erupted, a powerful force tore through the space.
Ye Chenfeng moved, without any warning.
His movement was like thunder and lightning, leaping across time itself.
In an instant, Ye Chenfeng plunged into the darkness.
At that moment, Cao|Ni|Ma distinctly felt a strong aura slipping through the night, fleeing in a certain direction.
Cao|Ni|Ma didn’t dare waste any time, quickly following.
“Such speed I’ve never seen before! It even broke through my Space Law. Could it be the Shadow Clan that Zero mentioned?”
After the mysterious presence broke through Ye Chenfeng’s Space Law, he pursued, pondering in his heart.
“No, if it were the Shadow Clan, they definitely wouldn’t have left a trace for us to find.”
Ye Chenfeng immediately dismissed the thought.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Chenfeng chased the mysterious presence to a desolate area.
The mysterious shadow then vanished, seemingly hiding there.
“I don’t think I’ve been here during the day!”
Ye Chenfeng surveyed the surroundings, realizing he hadn’t been here when he traveled the ancient country by day.
It was as if this place was another world, or a small world within the ancient country.
On the left were rows of ancient tombs, while the right resembled an execution ground, with about ten oddly shaped gallows lined up.
Two of the gallows even hung with white, skeletal remains, and the ground was stained with vivid red blood.
Ye Chenfeng looked astonished; judging by these signs, the ancient country must have been around for hundreds or thousands of years, yet the bones existed, and the blood hadn’t faded.
Without making a sound, Ye Chenfeng approached the gallows, his gaze falling on the two skeletal remains.
The skeletons were curled up, seemingly in immense agony.
“Could it be…”
Seeing the scene before him, images flooded Ye Chenfeng’s mind.
Once, he had been a powerful agent, naturally mastering forensic science.
He could discern, from the posture of the skeletons, the torture they endured before death.
“These people were skinned alive!”
Scenes intertwined, and Ye Chenfeng could essentially determine these people were skinned.
Recalling the symbols on the palace floor earlier, Ye Chenfeng immediately thought of the Human Skin scroll he held, wondering if it originated here.
The other gallows had no bodies, but each had a pool of blood on the ground, bright red and vibrant.
“That these people’s blood hasn’t faded after hundreds or thousands of years probably indicates a special racial bloodline, chosen specifically.”
Ye Chenfeng could clearly sense a terrible grievance accumulated here, exploding as if to devour all.
Even Ye Chenfeng was startled, cautiously vigilant.
As soon as the resentment emerged, the place turned into Asura Hell.
A myriad of anguished ghostly cries echoed, a sinister atmosphere filled the world, as if a sea of corpses and blood appeared before his eyes.
“It’s the Human Skin Scroll!”
Ye Chenfeng quickly identified the culprit; it was the Human Skin Scroll he held, releasing long-accumulated resentment like a tidal wave.
Ye Chenfeng took out the Human Skin Scroll, unfurling it.
The lines of text on the scroll seemed alive, leaping like drops of fresh blood.
“Not only were these people’s skins used, but the characters are drawn in their blood. It’s too cruel.”
Ye Chenfeng murmured.
Who used such a cruel method to create a Human Skin scroll? What exactly is recorded on it?
Why did the Human Skin scroll end up in the Tomb of the Gods on Underworld Avenue?
What was father Ye Chenfu’s intent in leaving clues for me to decipher the scroll’s content?
A series of questions struck Ye Chenfeng like surges of electricity, relentlessly.
The area brimmed with immense resentment, surging like a tsunami, as if to engulf Ye Chenfeng.
“Begone!”
Ye Chenfeng roared, unleashing the Heavenly Dragon Roar.
The holy and ancient sound swept through the heavens and earth, instantly repressing the sinister resentment.
The place immediately returned to silence.
At this moment, Cao|Ni|Ma also arrived.
“I feel like someone deliberately led us here.”
Cao|Ni|Ma voiced his thought.
“Mm-hmm, so there must be something to gain here.”
Ye Chenfeng didn’t deny it.
If not for that shadow guiding them, they might never have found this place.
This is why it remained intact; no one knew of it, thus couldn’t destroy it.
Ye Chenfeng began searching for clues on site, spending three full hours translating several ancient country words or phrases.
They were roughly slave, blood, Human Skin, and these prisoners’ codes.
However, Ye Chenfeng barely translated a few dozen words, which was negligible for such a thick Human Skin scroll.
It was essentially useless!
“But without understanding this race’s language, there’s no knowing the content of the Human Skin scroll.”
Ye Chenfeng felt a bit frustrated, helplessly sitting on the ground.
“These ancient tombs feel problematic.”
Cao|Ni|Ma nearby couldn’t help but remind him.
Ultimately, Ye Chenfeng turned his gaze to the ancient tombs on the left, perhaps there was something inside.
Now Cao|Ni|Ma wasn’t worried anymore, having witnessed Ye Chenfeng’s power repeatedly.
Ye Chenfeng stood up, step by step, approaching the ancient tombs.
“Forgive me!”
Ye Chenfeng opened the first tomb, inside was only a shriveled corpse, with no burial items.
But inside were various runes and magic artifacts, somewhat resembling a ritual or spellcasting.
After consecutively opening several tombs, they contained only shriveled corpses.
However, Ye Chenfeng also discovered these tombs differed in construction, even the materials of the coffins were completely different.
Only one tomb remained untouched, for some reason, Ye Chenfeng felt a pang in his heart, an ominous premonition spreading.
Not just him; even Cao|Ni|Ma beside him felt the oppressive atmosphere.
Ye Chenfeng slowly raised his right hand, gathering a powerful force.
“Open!”
Ye Chenfeng shouted lowly, pushing with his right hand.
Immediately, a formidable power perfectly opened the tomb like a precise machine, without damaging a single spot.
Exposing the coffin within.
“Bronze Coffin!”
Ye Chenfeng was startled; it was a Bronze Coffin from the ancient Divine Land.
This was the heart of Northern Europe, how could there be a Bronze Coffin from Divine Land?
