Chapter 18: The Bronze Coffin
After the smoke cleared, Wang Xu controlled the alchemy puppet to slowly approach the bronze coffin that had opened the lid of the coffin, relying on the faint light shining into the stone chamber from outside the stone door, through the eyes of the alchemy puppet, Wang Xu reluctantly observed the copper coffin in front of the puppet.
Only from the outside, this bronze coffin is a little bizarre, almost the same size as an extended version of the off-road vehicle; the surface of the coffin and the lid of the coffin that flew out are engraved with all kinds of strange and graceful patterns, because there is no flow of magic elements between these patterns, so, Wang Xu thinks, these patterns should have no practical use, it is estimated that this dead great demon has a special artistic taste.
Wang Xu controlled the alchemy puppet close to the coffin wall on the side of the copper coffin, the copper coffin that had lost the lid of the coffin, the height was only to the collarbone of the alchemy puppet, and the puppet lowered its head, just to see the contents of the copper coffin at a glance.
I saw that in the middle of the bronze coffin lay a standard great demon corpse.
Overall, the Great Demon is estimated to be about four meters tall, his body is very strong, even if he is now a dried corpse, he is still stronger than the Minotaur Sangu, he is wearing a bronze armor that is almost completely weathered, and the armor is covered with turquoise patina, and the skin that leaks through his armor is completely bright red, which is the same as all other abyssal races.
This archdemon has a human head, the face is angular, the facial features are relatively large, the big ones are somewhat exaggerated, and on his bare head, there are a pair of black horns half a meter long, it seems that this archdemon must be mixed with some minotaur blood.
The Great Demon had a pair of unusually long arms, and at the end of the arms, there were two terrifying claws, each with nine fingers, and the nails were sharp and long, shining like a blade with a bloodthirsty cold light.
Behind this great demon, there was a pair of fleshy wings, but unfortunately he had been dead for too long, and the pair of fleshy wings had been weathered and only fine bones remained, and his legs were also very long, with a pair of horsehooves at the end of the calves, and thick black horseshoes on the hooves, and two strange toes on the horseshoe.
On the chest of the archdemon's corpse, there are two double-edged short axes stacked crosswise, the wood of the axe handle has been shattered into sawdust, but the axe body has resisted the baptism of time, and it is still as bright as new.
In the bronze coffin, except for the dried corpse of a great demon lying in the middle, there are many jewels and gold ornaments scattered in the rest of the place: a few fist-sized rubies, a few diamonds the size of ping-pong balls, and many daily necessities such as gold bowls, golden knives and forks, and golden spoons, which seem to be the items used by the great demon during his lifetime.
After carefully observing the bronze coffin a few more times, and finding no danger, Wang Xu controlled the alchemy puppet, inserted the tip of the long sword into the gap between the bottom of the copper coffin and the stone platform, and pried it vigorously, "boom" There was a muffled sound, the copper coffin was overturned, the jewels and gold ornaments in the coffin were scattered all over the ground, and the dried corpse of the great demon was also lifted out, with his face facing the ground and his back to the sky, lying on the ground of the stone room.
After doing these things, Wang Xu waited for a long time, and when he found that there was indeed no strange phenomenon happening, he felt that there should be no danger in the stone room.
So, Wang Xu shouted "close" at the enchantment in front of him, and the entire semicircular enchantment disappeared, and the small black hole in the middle of the enchantment also disappeared.
Wang Xu first deducted all the demonic beast crystal nuclei embedded in the ground and put them into his backpack system, and then turned to the people in front of him and said, "It's okay, you can go in." ”
After speaking, Wang Xu took out a peachwood sword, recited a few incantations, and a dazzling white light emitted from the peachwood sword, and then, he walked into the stone room with the peachwood sword held high.
When Wang Xu entered the stone chamber, Sangu also came in, and the four Warrens also entered, and the other fifty knights also entered.
When everyone came in, they were taken aback when they saw the upside-down bronze coffin in the stone room, the twisted coffin lid, and the dried corpse of an unknown creature lying on the ground, as well as the jewelry and gold ornaments around the dried corpse.
"Wow, this tomb robber is ruthless enough to throw the dried corpse of the owner of the tomb on the ground, it's really unbelievable. Sangu looked at the surrounding scene and muttered loudly.
"Don't you see that the jewelry and gold ornaments used by the tomb owner during his lifetime are still there," Wang Xu squinted at Sang Gu, who had just scolded him, sighed helplessly, shook his head slightly, and said: "I did all this, didn't you see my alchemy puppet, I was afraid that there would be a mechanism in this tomb, so I lifted his bronze coffin." ”
After speaking, Wang Xu recited a few more incantations, and the peachwood sword in his hand flew into the air of the stone chamber, hovering there, and continued to illuminate the entire stone chamber.
"You!" Sang Gu looked down at Wang Xu, stared at his eyes and spatted loudly: "Why don't you even let go of the dead!"
"You're insane," Wang Xu finally dodged Sangu's saliva and stared at him, explaining loudly: "He's a demon, and the dead demon is also terrible, didn't you see the black smoke when I opened the door just now, if I hadn't been prepared, I don't know what would have happened." ”
After listening to Wang Xu's explanation, Sangu nodded silently, the four Warren also nodded, and the knights also nodded in agreement.
"I think there should also be traps and traps in the bronze coffin of that great demon," but," after a pause, Wang Xu continued: "After I lifted his bronze coffin, I found that there was no mechanism in the bronze coffin, so I am really a little sorry for the great demon lying there." ”
After being silent for a few seconds, Wang Xu turned to look at everyone and suggested: "Now there are so many funeral goods here, I don't want any of them, I suggest, the two-sided axe, just give it to Sangu, and the rest of the funeral goods, Warren Magister, you can divide it, I only want the dried corpse of the big demon, and it is useless for you to ask for that dry corpse, so no one should grab it from me." ”
"Okay, I'll just need those two axes!" the straightforward Sangu made his decision first.
Warren discussed with Lifka, Thornton, and Downs for a while, and after discussing with the knights for a few minutes, he walked up to Wang Xu and said to Wang Xu, "We feel that since you found this demonic ruin, then everything here is yours, and we don't want it." ”
"You don't have to be polite to me," Wang Xu shook his head slightly, and whispered to Warren: "Everyone is now in the same team, there are blessings and hardships, of course, if there are benefits, everyone has to share, besides, you came to the Eastern Continent to look for Sauron, and I don't know what year you will find it, prepare more money, you can have more protection, right." ”
After listening to Wang Xu's sincere suggestion, and seeing Wang Xu's eyes that didn't care about those funeral goods, Warren sighed and said loudly to Wang Xu: "Okay, we want those funeral goods, thank you!"
Taking a deep breath, Warren raised his eyes and swept around everyone, and continued to say loudly: "We are not people who do not repay the favor, when we were besieged by the sharphorns, it was you who saved all of our lives, when my companion was tortured by the curse, it was you who saved his arm, in front of so many possessions, you are willing to share with us, well, from now on, you will be our friend of the griffon kingdom, no matter what difficulties you have in the future, just tell us, we are willing to go to the soup for you, and we will not hesitate." ”
After speaking, Warren put his legs together, his right arm crossed his chest, his eyes looked directly at Wang Xu, and made a human nobleman's swear etiquette, Livka also followed the teacher to make the same move, and the knights also did it, Thornton and Downs glanced at each other, and then at the others around them, hesitated for a moment, and also made this set of actions.
"Oops," Wang Xu hurriedly stepped forward, held Warren's right hand with both hands, and then nodded to everyone around him to express his gratitude, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for raising me, since everyone is a friend, then let's quickly divide the property, this is the most important thing." ”
"Hehe......" Everyone was amused by Wang Xu and gathered around.
"That," Wang Xu smiled awkwardly, looked at Warren, and whispered: "You take them to divide the money, I'll collect the corpse, Sangu, come and get your axe!"
Everyone laughed again, and in their laughter, Wang Xu walked directly to the side of the dry corpse, squatted down, picked up the two sharp axes on the ground that were missing axes, and threw them to Sangu behind him.
Sang Gu caught the two sharp axes thrown by Wang Xu, and was smiling happily, when suddenly, he found that the waist of the corpse of the great demon who was turned over by Wang Xu was actually tied with a belt embroidered with his own tribal totem pattern.
"Wait!" Sang Gu rushed behind Wang Xu and kicked Wang Xu on the heel of his right foot.
"Oops!" Wang Xu jumped three feet high in pain, and after landing on the ground, he punched Sangu's chest with a wave of his hand, but he was shocked by the muscles in Sangu's chest.
As if he didn't feel that he had been beaten by Wang Xu, Sangu squatted beside the corpse of the Great Demon without care, looking at the belt around the waist of the corpse.
Seeing Sangu's abnormal movements, Wang Xu also felt that something was wrong, he squatted down to Sangu's side and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, what did you find?"
"The embroidered on his belt is the totem of our tribe!" Sang Gu said in a deep voice with a serious expression, this was the first time Wang Xu had seen Sang Gu behave so seriously.
Wang Xu took a closer look at the weathered belt around the Great Demon's waist, which was about to dry out, and saw that the dust-stained cyan belt was embroidered with a golden horn.
"Those golden horns are the totems of your tribe?" Wang Xu squinted at Sangu who was squatting next to him, and asked in a low voice.
"Hmm," Sangu snorted heavily, nodded slightly, and then continued to reply, "That's right, that's our tribe's totem, but why did it appear on the body of a great demon?"
"Didn't you notice that this big demon looks very strange?" Wang Xu nodded at the head of the big demon, "Don't look at this big demon has a human head, but he actually has a pair of horns on his head!"
"Hmm......" Sangu turned his head to look at the head of the Great Demon, and when he saw the pair of horns similar to his own, he turned his head to look at Wang Xu and asked, "Do you already know why he has the totem symbol of our clan on his body?"
"Of course," Wang Xu took a deep breath, thought for a few seconds, and replied in a way that would not hit Sangu, "I think ......"
