Chapter 37: The Key

The lid of the sarcophagus fell to the ground with a rumbling sound, and the scimitar in Hou Zifeng's hand was raised and slashed inside, but after he saw the contents of the sarcophagus clearly, his hand that slashed down suddenly stopped.

And we stood on the periphery, and we could see clearly what was inside the sarcophagus.

It was a child, white and already skinny, and the expression on his face was hideous and terrifying, just leaning against the sarcophagus, it turned out to be the body of a child.

Hou Zifeng put down the scimitar in his hand, and then turned his head to look at us, "It's a corpse, I don't know how to preserve it." After saying that, Hou Zifeng turned around and returned to our side.

I breathed a sigh of relief, but I felt a little uncomfortable, it was really cruel for such a young child to be sealed in the ancient tomb by them in such a way.

"There's nothing in there but the child's body." After Hou Zifeng came back, he said something to me. Then he turned around and walked to another sarcophagus, Zhang Man and I also followed him, still like before, in this sarcophagus, the same child's corpse, the size was about the same as the previous one, and nothing was found in it.

In this main burial chamber, there are a total of nine sarcophagi, Hou Zifeng and I have Zhang Man and the three have already opened two, Zhang Huanqing and they have opened four, and they have already opened six, and among these six sarcophagi, all the bodies placed are children's corpses, and there is no key or anything like that.

"There are three left, in pairs, keep looking." I looked at the remaining coffins and said helplessly, this main burial chamber has been found, and the main coffin has been found, but the result is still not open, which makes me feel very unhappy.

I was still in pairs with Zhang Man, and after knowing that those sarcophagi were full of children's corpses, I let go of my courage and dared to open those sarcophagi. Zhang Man and I walked to one of the remaining three sarcophagi, and then the two of us stood in front and back of the sarcophagus, lifted the lid of the sarcophagus and put it aside.

Inside the sarcophagus, there was still a child's corpse, after seeing that it was a corpse, I sighed helplessly, and was about to turn around and leave to see how Hou Zifeng was doing on their side, and the afterglow of my eyes swept to the neck of the child's corpse, I was stunned, and then turned around and looked carefully at the neck of the corpse.

Out of the corpse's neck, a small rusty iron ring appeared, and on top of the small iron ring, there seemed to be a rope that was not very thick.

Could it be the key? I suddenly had such an idea in my mind, I took out a wire from my bag, and then slowly reached for the neck of the corpse, the barb on the wire slowly hung on the iron ring exposed at the neck of the corpse, and I pulled it hard, and the contents were pulled out.

When I saw what I pulled out, I was overjoyed, wasn't that the key we were looking for?

"I found it!"

I shouted with joy, and in my excitement, I wanted to reach for the key, but as I looked at the child's corpse, I didn't know if it was my delusion or something, I saw that its chest seemed to float up and down.

After looking carefully, there was no reaction at all, is it because I am too tired today and hallucinate? I shook my head, then continued to reach into the sarcophagus, towards the neck of the child's corpse.

"Whew... Whew..."

My hand had just approached the corpse, my fingers clasping the small iron ring, and then I heard the sound of breathing like an exhaust fan, and the sound was right in front of me.

I was stunned, and instead of taking my hand back from the corpse, I held my breath and stared at the body of the child lying in the sarcophagus.

Suddenly, his eyes opened, and I instantly felt my hairs stand on end, and then I wanted to step back, but my cold hand suddenly grabbed my arm, and a strong force came and wanted to pull me back.

"Ahh

Zhang Man screamed, then ran to my side and hugged me, and then he froze with the strength in the sarcophagus.

"Come and help." I yelled with my head tilted.

Seeing what happened on our side, Zhang Huanqing and the others quickly rushed over, and then saw that the body of the child in the sarcophagus had already stood up, and now it could not be said to be a corpse, it had turned into a dumpling.

After seeing so many people running towards him, the child Zongzi immediately let go of his grip on me, and his mouth made a "babbling" sound, and then he jumped out of the sarcophagus and ran in the direction of the door of the tomb.

"Chase! It has keys on it. After seeing him run out, I quickly screamed and wanted to chase him, but there was a feeling of pain in my buttocks, so I didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"! Can a boiled duck make you fly away like this? Hou Zifeng scolded, and then chased after the kid Zongzi.

After a few steps, Hou Zifeng surpassed Mo Zongzi, blocked in front of the stone gate, and then looked at the child Zongzi with a fierce face.

Zhang Huanqing didn't move now, but took out a flying knife from his waist that was not very big, I looked at him in surprise, I had never seen him use such a weapon, he slowly took out the black dog blood from the bag, and then poured it on top of the flying knife, and then wrapped the small button brought by Hou Zifeng with a very thin strip of cloth around the position of the handle.

After making all the preparations, Zhang Huanqing's eyes changed and became very cold, he stared at the child Zongzi jumping around not far in front of him, and he didn't move for a long time.

Until the kid Zongzi chose a position and wanted to escape, Zhang Huanqing moved, we just saw his hand shake, and then the flying knife in his hand disappeared, and after that, we heard the terrible "babbling" sound.

In the distance, the child's rice dumplings had fallen to the ground and were rolling back and forth, and from his back, a flying knife with strips of cloth wrapped around the handle of the knife could be seen.

"Monkey! Dodge! I yelled at Hou Zifeng.

He seemed to understand something, and quickly took two steps back.

"Bang!"

An explosion sounded, and a stream of viscous liquid splashed on Hou Zifeng's body, and at his feet, a key full of viscous liquid also fell.

"Holy!"
