Chapter 154: The Creature in the Coffin

It's a huge underground space, like a cave.

It's just that unlike the cave, there are no strange stalactites around, just tangled roots of large trees, and cold underground lakes.

And now, Lao Fei and Yan Xiaoying, I, and I are on one of the shallows that has surfaced.

With food to satisfy our hunger, we have recovered most of our physical strength, and even our tired spirits have improved.

However, just as the three of us were getting together to discuss how to get out of the place, something was washed down from the upper reaches and left on the shallows.

The tentacles of the dragonbeard fish emit a faint bright light, which is not extinguished by the death of the fish.

When we saw the thing stranded on the sand through the faint light, our faces couldn't help but change dramatically.

Because it was a coffin, a black coffin, and the style and specifications of the coffin were exactly the same as the one we had seen in the tree cavity chamber before.

There is a wood carving on top of the black coffin lid, which is not really visible because of the distance.

In this place, a black coffin floated silently, which was really weird.

It's weird and a little wicked.

I calmed down for a moment and looked at Yan Xiaoying on the side.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, go! Let's go over and see. Yan Xiaoying groaned, and finally decided to go over and check it out.

I nodded, and looked at the old fat again.

The latter rolled his eyes at me and said, "Don't ask me, Lao Tzu has an injured leg and can't walk." ”

At that moment, Yan Xiaoying and I glanced at each other, and as before, the two of them set him up one on the left and one on the right, and walked towards the black coffin.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly felt the old fat hand slap me twice on the back.

I looked at him suspiciously, and the latter leaned into my ear and whispered, "Old Yan...... Xiaoying's skin is so slippery...... Hey hey ......"

I was stunned, and my eyes swept over the old fat and looked at Yan Xiaoying.

I saw that Xiao Ying only had a black wrap left on her body, most of her upper body was exposed, and she was carrying a fat hand of Lao Fei on her shoulder, and Lao Fei's shirt had already been stripped naked.

In this posture of support, the two naturally can't avoid intimate contact between skins.

At this time, there was an expression of enjoyment on the old fat face, how could there be half a look of hurt and pain?

However, in the next second, Yan Xiaoying suddenly shook off the old fat hand and said coldly: "Don't think I can't hear you by biting your ears, it seems that your injuries have healed, hum!" ”

I didn't expect Yan Xiaoying's hearing to be so powerful, she could hear us so quietly clearly.

Seeing that she ignored the two of us, she walked directly towards the black coffin, which was not too far away from us, because the shallows were just a little bit of a place, and as the water level rose, it could be submerged at any time.

"I'm sorry, you'd better go by yourself."

Yan Xiaoying was angry, I naturally didn't want to end up in the same boat as Lao Fei, so for the sake of my innocence, I had to throw the latter down and catch up with the former.

The tentacles of the dragon's beard fish emit a pale blue light, and our eyes have adapted to the darkness around us, with this faint light, we can barely see the scenery within a few meters of the surrounding scenery, and in the distance it is pitch black and blurry, and only its outline can be faintly seen.

The two approached one after the other, and began to carefully examine the mysterious black coffin in front of them.

Sure enough, this black coffin is exactly the same as the black coffin where the bones of the door are lying, and there is a crane wood carving on the top of the coffin, which is pitch black all over, giving people a feeling of depression.

The black coffin had been reduced to ashes in the fire, so the black coffin in front of him was definitely not the one it had been.

The identity of the person who can use this black coffin to hold the corpse is by no means simple.

As far as I know, there were a lot of people who died in the battle with the two-headed dragon, and I don't believe that they all ended up with no bones, and there must be some people who will save their bodies, maybe the bodies of those people are buried in such a black coffin.

I had guessed that the whole tree might be a huge tree tomb.

Each branch of it has the same tree chambers that we saw when we encountered the female ghost earlier, that is, the burial chamber, and the burial chamber has such a black coffin in the burial chamber.

Think about it, the branches of the big tree are huge, if there is a black coffin in each branch, how many people must be buried?

That's unimaginable......

The tree had shaken violently before, and perhaps the black coffin had fallen from the abyss under that circumstance.

We walked around the black coffin, but we didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

It's just that this black coffin is around, and it makes people feel uncomfortable, just like a potential danger that may erupt at any time.

After a little discussion with Yan Xiaoying, we decided to push this black coffin back into the water and let it drift away with the waves, so as not to panic when I looked at it.

When he was about to put it into action, the old fat voice came from behind him: "Wait...... Don't you wonder what's inside the black coffin? ”

"The coffin naturally contains the corpse, what else can there be?" I pouted.

"In addition to the corpse, there may be a treasure, you must know that the corpse can be contained by this kind of black coffin, his identity must not be simple......"

I can't understand Yan Xiaoying's personality anymore, where is he curious about the identity of the owner in the coffin? It's nothing more than coveting things to accompany the funeral.

But Yan Xiaoying and I don't want to cause trouble at the moment, the corpses in this black coffin have a lot of origins, so it's better not to move.

As for things like money, you have to save your life before you can spend it.

At that moment, the two ignored Lao Fei and pushed the black coffin into the water, wanting to push the black coffin away with force.

Unexpectedly, the black coffin hit a Xuan'er in the water, and the other end of the coffin leaned closer to us.

We didn't notice that the other end of the coffin was in the water, but now it turned around, and we were immediately surprised.

It turned out that there was a palm-sized hole at the end of the coffin, which seemed to have been bitten by some creature, because there were obvious bite marks and even claw marks on it.

The hole is on the top of the coffin wall, looking at the water level of the black coffin, there should be a lot of water in the coffin, at this time one end of the black coffin sinks, and the other end floats.

The reason why we couldn't push the black coffin away just now was because one end of the black coffin was filled with water, and the draft was deep, like a tumbler.

The possession looked through the hole into the coffin, and it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

The old fat dragged the injured body and crawled over, and continued to persuade us: "Why don't we open the coffin and see what's inside?" You think, we're trapped in the middle of the water, and it's so cold that no one wants to go into the water anymore. ”

He paused, then said, "The black coffin is so buoyant that it can be used as a boat for us." ”

Yan Xiaoying and I were both a little moved when we heard this, and Lao Fei's words were not unreasonable.

The terrain here is complicated, the water in the lake is extremely cold, and it is dark and deep, like a bottomless abyss, I wonder what is terrible under the water?

If the coffin can be used as a boat, it can not only save physical strength, but also ensure safety.

The three of them groaned, and finally Yan Xiaoying opened her mouth and said to Lao Fei: "Although the proposal is good, but there is only one coffin, no matter how big its buoyancy is, it is impossible to carry the weight of the three of us, at most two is the limit, so ...... What should I do if I am left alone? Do you want to leave him here? ”

Yan Xiaoying's family makes coffins, and she said that this black coffin can only carry two people, so it can't be wrong.

For a while, the three of you look at me, I look at you, and they can't answer.

"The three monks can only die of thirst in the end, the most important thing for the three of us now is unity, if we can only carry two people, I would rather not use this black coffin as a boat."

I spoke.

However, as soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard a sound of water coming from the black coffin.

The sound was so loud that it came through the hole, and it scared all three of us into a burst of excitement.

"Oh my God, you're going to cheat the corpse...... "The old fat reflexed, thinking that the corpse in the coffin had cheated the corpse.

Yan Xiaoying glared at him, and scolded angrily: "How can there be so many corpses and deceitful corpses? If all the dead can cheat the corpse, then the world has long been ruled by the zombies of the walking dead, where is there anything with us living people? ”

"That'...... How can there be a sound in the coffin......"

The old fat didn't believe it, and dragged the injured body back.

This thing was clamoring to open the coffin just now, but now when he heard movement in the coffin, he couldn't wait to be 108,000 miles away from the black coffin.

"I think it's because of this hole, a creature got into the coffin, maybe a fish, or a snake......"

"No, in this cold environment, the snakes have long been dormant and should not come out." I corrected.

"Not necessarily!"

Yan Xiaoying shook her head and didn't explain too much.

With that, she stepped into the water to push the black coffin up the shallows.

I was taken aback and asked her what she was going to do. Didn't you just say that you were going to send the black coffin away? How can it be pushed ashore again?

"In order to confirm my suspicions, the creatures in the black coffin may not be simple, and the sooner you discover their true colors, you can also be wary of them earlier, so now you must open the coffin to check the ......"

I was silent, though I didn't know why Yan Xiaoying had suddenly made such a decision.

But I believe that she must have her own reasons for doing so, and immediately jumped into the water, and with the strength of the two of them, finally pushed the black coffin up the shallows with difficulty.

The most important thing is that there is water inside the black coffin, which is very heavy.

When we pushed the black coffin, the water inside rippled, and there was a strange sound of crackling against the coffin wall, and the sound of water occasionally hearing creatures hitting the wall.

Brush!

In the end, there was a series of strange noises like sharp nails scraping the coffin wall, and the old fat who climbed into the distance changed his face in fright: "Old Yan...... Xiao Ying...... Forget it, if we release a stiff hair, we can't deal with it now. ”

With such a big movement, it is completely confirmed that there is a living creature in the black coffin, but I don't know if this creature is really a zombie as Lao Fat said, or just a small fish......

Listening to the strange sound in the black coffin, I was also a little uneasy in my heart.

Yan Xiaoying's face was gloomy as water, and with a knife in her hand, she scraped off the wax in the gap between the coffin lid, and then beckoned me to come over and uncover the coffin lid with her.

When I saw that the lid of the coffin was tightly closed, and there was no place to start, I held the crane wood carving on the top of the lid and pulled it out vigorously.

Yan Xiaoying's knife was sharp, and while I widened the gap, she used the knife to cut off the wooden nails.

I used almost all the strength to breastfeed, and the gap in the coffin lid became bigger and bigger, Yan Xiaoying reached into the gap and worked hard with me.

Finally, the coffin lid was opened with a bang.

Because I used too much force, I hugged the crane and kicked back, and finally sat on the ground with my buttocks, and my tailbone ached.

The lid of the coffin fell in front of me, and the crane wood carving on it was broken by the force I had just exerted.

Throwing away the crane wood carving in his hand, ignoring the pain, he got up and walked over quickly, and looked inside the black coffin with Yan Xiaoying.

"Inside...... What's inside the coffin? ”

The two of them hadn't fully seen the situation inside the coffin, and there was an excited inquiry from behind them.

Moreover, he himself turned around and crawled back......
