Chapter 24: Dead?

  "I knew you'd ambush me!"

  Lin Feng let out a loud roar and swung his fist, ready to charge forward. However, Old Karl was one step ahead of Lin Feng and raised his staff towards the stone coffin!

  At this moment, the gemstone at the tip of the magic wand suddenly shone brightly, and Old Carl seemed to have calculated it in advance. The position of the gemstone was exactly where the sarcophagus man's body was about to fall!!

  The sarcophagus man let out a terrified shriek from his mouth!

  But even if she screamed her lungs out, it was impossible to stop the falling body. The next moment, her body still smashed onto the gemstone that emitted a dazzling light.

  Ding——

  At this moment, Lin Feng felt as if something had been lit up in his heart, and a clarity suddenly emerged from within...

  Then he subconsciously raised his head and looked up, but as soon as he did, he was stunned.

  As if time had frozen at this moment, Lin Feng first glanced at Old Karl, seeing him with tightly closed lips and a serious expression, his resolute gaze hiding a hint of reluctance.

  On the other hand, the stone coffin person who was originally wrapped in black air dissipated the black air all over her body and revealed her face at the moment when she came into contact with the gemstone on the top of the magic wand.

  What a beautiful young woman...

  This was Lin Feng's heartfelt feeling when he first saw her.

  At this moment, the stone coffin woman was wearing a white long gown, with a long black hair coiled around her waist, and a snow-white neck with blue veins visible. Her forehead was very wide, and her cheekbones were high and protruding, with a pair of thin lips on her pointed chin. Originally, such an appearance could only be considered delicate, not even beautiful, but she seemed to emit a special aura that made people feel "beauty" in their hearts!

  At this moment, Lin Feng finally knew why there were the words "pretty" and "beautiful", he finally understood that pretty and beautiful are not the same thing at all!

  But the unspeakable terror that shone in the beauty's eyes, destroyed the lovely quality of her face, and in the next instant, old Karl let out a loud cry, his eyes became firm, he raised his magic wand and struck it down with force!

  Hūn

  The woman in the stone coffin was smashed to the ground, and she immediately let out a painful cry. Her body rolled around on the ground non-stop, as if she had suffered a huge injury.

  Old Karl finally let out a sigh of relief, gently putting down the magic wand, just about to turn around and say something, but the corner of his eye caught another glimpse of black gas rising from the stone coffin woman's body!

  His face changed, and he quickly controlled the magic wand to emit light again. However, as soon as the light flashed, the stone coffin woman's body had already returned to its previous state. She seemed to have recovered from her injuries and got up from the ground, facing Old Karl's magic wand with fear, standing still and letting out a low growl.

  "What a pity..."

  Old Karl sighed: "The attributes of the magic wand don't match, and it can't even exert its original special power."

  "What about the original staff?" Lin Feng asked subconsciously, although he didn't know what kind of magic Old Karl had released.

  Old Karl suddenly fell silent, his magic wand pointing at the stone coffin woman. After a while, he replied faintly: "The original one... was destroyed by her thirty years ago."

  Before Lin Feng could speak, Old Karl said again: "Little guy, you mustn't move rashly, she's already dead and doesn't have any wisdom. With my magic protecting her, she won't attack you on her own initiative."

  Magic? Not sorcery?

  Lin Feng was perplexed in his heart, but he also knew that this wasn't the time to ask questions, so he nodded heavily at Old Man Karl.

  Old Karl saw this, and only then did he take out a bottle filled with green liquid from his bosom. He bit off the cork and drank it all in big gulps. After finishing the bottle, he threw it aside and suddenly felt greatly invigorated!

  Lin Feng knew that Old Man Karl had just drunk a bottle of magical medicine, which was a special medicine to supplement spiritual power. Could it be that this old man's spiritual power also had times when it wasn't enough?

  Old Karl approached the stone coffin woman step by step, and once again recited that strange incantation. This time, the stone coffin woman who had suffered a loss did not dare to move lightly, shrinking back with her hands and feet, until she retreated to the edge of the water pool, where she squatted down trembling with fear.

  Old Karl's forehead was already sweating, and he continued to move forward in small steps, continuing to pass the gemstone on the magic wand to the stone coffin woman. At the moment of contact with the stone coffin woman, the light of the gemstone suddenly became brighter again!!

  The woman in the stone coffin had just suffered a loss, but when she saw the bright gemstone, she suddenly let out a terrified shriek. She didn't dare to rush at Old Karl again, but instead leapt forward and charged towards Lin Feng!!!

  "What the...! Didn't you say she wouldn't attack me?!"

  Lin Feng subconsciously cursed loudly, even forgetting to address him as "teacher", and at such a close distance, he couldn't dodge it!

  Old Karl didn't expect the stone coffin woman to attack Lin Feng proactively either, and in his great surprise, he hurriedly waved the magic wand in his hand towards the stone coffin woman, but the stone coffin woman's speed was too fast, it was already too late!

  Lin Feng's heart hardened, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth. The next moment, he controlled the electric current throughout his body, compressing it into his right palm. The surging, astonishingly compressed electric current shot out from Lin Feng's hand as he swung it forward, heading straight for the woman in the stone coffin. At the same time, Lin Feng subconsciously closed his eyes!!

  "No way!!!"

  Old Karl's somewhat despairing voice echoed in Lin Feng's ears.

  "Ah——"

  A sharp wail came from the stone coffin woman's mouth, Lin Feng only felt a strong force coming, and involuntarily retreated two steps, but did not suffer any substantial harm.

  When he opened his eyes, what was in front of him made him stunned.

  Old Karl's eyes widened in incredulity, while the stone coffin woman from before had fallen to a distant place and "fainted" away. The black air on her body had disappeared, revealing her beautiful face that made people look up to her.

  "Is she... is she dead?"

  Lin Feng felt a hollow sensation in his body. He looked at his hands and then at the woman lying on the ground, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

  His voice finally brought old Karl back to his senses, and a hint of surprise flashed in old Karl's eyes. He hurriedly ran to the front of the stone coffin woman and said: "She was dead all along."

  As he spoke, Old Karl picked up the woman from the ground and quickly came to the stone coffin, gently placing the woman inside. He then ran to the water pool, grabbed the lid of the stone coffin with both hands, and pulled it towards him with great force. However, having just gone through a fierce battle and being an old man, he strained for half a day before moving the lid only about half a step away from its original position.

  Lin Feng saw this and hurried forward to help. He took a deep breath, placed both hands on the stone coffin lid, but when he used force, he found that the stone coffin lid was not as heavy as he had imagined.

  Before long, the stone coffin lid was pulled out of the water by two people. With their joint efforts, it was finally covered on the stone coffin.

  Then, Old Karl released a low-level earth magic (he mainly used fire magic, but he still knew some low-level magic in the other three elements), wrapping the entire stone coffin with mud. After doing all this, he didn't care about the dirty ground and sat down with a big sigh of relief.

  "My teacher, what's going on? Why did you tell me not to hurt her?"

  Lin Feng finally had the opportunity to raise his doubts in his heart. He thought for a moment and added another sentence: "Also, why do I feel that the lid of that stone coffin wasn't particularly heavy?"
