The two of them simultaneously extinguished their own flashlights, and the entire tomb chamber fell into darkness once again.

  "Your soul is now gone, and what you fell for was just that coffin. To put it bluntly, its just a stationary trap that can only wait for you to take the bait yourself. As long as we cant see whats inside the coffin, break through that mechanism, and naturally, we can open it."

  Chaozi had already itched his teeth at the stone coffin, and he couldnt wait to pry it open now. The two of them relied on their memory of the tomb to creep forward stealthily, this time not standing in front of or behind the stone coffin, but instead standing on either side.

  The time spent here is not short either, Zha Wenbin has lost patience and said "Chaozi, you try to poke inside with the gun butt first."

  Chaozi raised his hunting rifle and was about to insert it when the knocking sound "Dong, Dong, Dong" came from the stone coffin again. This time, both of them were close enough to hear it clearly.

  The sound also made Chaozis hand, which was already halfway up, stop again. Who knows what else might pop out of here? His palms were sweating as he gripped the gun handle, hesitating and not daring to shoot, so he could only ask Wen Bin: "Wen Bin, is there another one inside or did you run into a zombie?"

  Cha Wenbin also found it strange, since the soul had already been eliminated, how could there still be a response inside? It couldnt be that the master of this place had become a zombie, only zombies with their special existence could have no soul or spirit, could it be that he really encountered one?

  "Chaozi, dont move for now. Even if its really a zombie inside, well pull it out and talk about it later. This place is always soaked in underground water, its not a suitable place to raise zombies, so it shouldnt be a zombie."

  "Why dont I just smash in and try?"

  Cha Wenbin hesitated for a long time, and the "bang bang bang" knocking sound continued. With a burst of courage, he thought to himself: No matter what it is, Im going to dig it out today!

  "Get moving!"

  Chao Zi waited for him to give orders, rubbed his hands hard, raised the shotgun and replied: "Good."

  The front half of the shotgun was smashed down by him, "clang" sounded like it hit something hard, Chaozi was not relieved, picked up and smashed again, "clang"...

  This shook Supers hands numb, "Wenbin brother, there is something blocking it, cant smash it down."

  With Super Boys two blows, the "thud thud thud" knocking sound also stopped.

  "Chaozi, stop smashing! Its basically what I thought. Weve been cheated!" Cha Wenbin said.

  Chaozi was still sulking, and as someone who had been studying antiquities for many years, he also realized that this coffin was not ordinary. Now hearing Cha Wenbin say this, he exclaimed in surprise: "What? Weve been cheated?"

  "We were deceived by the Corpse Silkworm King as soon as we entered. It deliberately knocked over the coffin lid, making us think it was a stone coffin that had been opened by it. In fact, what we saw wasnt a stone coffin at all, but rather a stone sarcophagus. The real coffin is inside the sarcophagus. What you hit earlier should be the actual coffin lid, and judging from the sound, its probably a bronze coffin!"

  "No, Wenbin, when I just came in, I clearly saw... inside was lying another me, how could it be another coffin? If so, I should have only seen the coffin lid too!"

  Zha Wenbin almost without hesitation put his hands into the stone coffin, feeling along the metal object from head to toe. When he withdrew his hands, he said: "This coffin has been opened before. If Im not mistaken, it must have been that worm who did it. This damn worm actually set us up!"

  Chao Zi knew that Cha Wenbins personality was that he liked to speak but never finish what he was saying, which made him anxious. He asked, "What did you find out? Cant you just say it clearly?"

  Cha Wenbin kicked the stone coffin with a loud thud, and he was actually made so miserable by an insect, its really a case of capsizing in a ditch!

  "That worm must have come for something in this coffin. As to what it is, well know when we open it later. Im right, this is a stone sarcophagus, and the one inside is the real coffin. Earlier, I touched it and found that the lid of the coffin was curved inward, smooth without any marks. This can only explain one thing: the worm opened the lid, and with some kind of divine power, it actually flipped the coffin over, turning what was originally facing up to face down, and what was originally facing in is now facing out."

  Zha Wenbin continued, "This bronze coffin will have patterns or inscriptions carved on it, but I just touched it and from head to toe its smooth. What do you think a flat bronze is?"

  Chao Zi has been in this line for many years, so he naturally knows that the coffin lid is arched, but its a vaulted arch, which means its concave inside. In ancient times, bronze was a symbol of power, and all kinds of reliefs were carved on various objects, except for one thing that wouldnt be carved on bronze, but would be polished to a high shine: "Bronze mirror!"

  "Not bad, Bronze Mirror! The back of this coffin is polished to a high gloss, just like a mirror. The person you saw lying inside just now was your own reflection. Anyone who sees their own appearance in the coffin will be shocked, and I am no exception. At this time, peoples defenses are at their lowest, and their souls can easily be hooked away, leaving them on the Bronze Mirror."

  Chaozi listened and asked tremulously: "Wenbin brother, are you saying that I just lost my soul?"

  Cha Wenbin also realized that he had misspoken, and could only cough dryly twice before hastily saying: "Its nothing now, its all over. We just need to flip the coffin lid back over, come on, Shaozi, lets get to work!"

  He Yichao thought that his soul had just been put into this inexplicable coffin, and he felt a chill in his heart. He looked at Zha Wenbin, who also refused to speak. He thought that when he returned, he would definitely ask what had happened to him, as well as the blood and the wound on his head, which he couldnt remember at all.

  The two of them joined forces and fumbled around, but the bronze cover plate weighed about 500-600 catties. With great effort, they managed to move it halfway. Cha Wenbin indeed found the carved patterns on the back, confirming his idea that all they needed to do was flip it over. However, by this point, they were both panting with exhaustion.

  "My god, that insect is a monster! Such a heavy thing, how can it be moved by it!"

  "Never mind how it was done, just add some strength and turn it over," said Cha Wenbin, panting heavily.

  They said it was a flip, but in fact, they just leaned one side of the coffin lid against the stone sarcophagus as a fulcrum, and two people on this side pushed hard to the other side. Finally, a loud rumbling sound came from the tomb, shaking even Zhuo Xiong below, who felt like there were falling rocks above his head, and he shouted from below: "Whats going on up there?"

  Those two are now sitting on the ground, grinning from ear to ear. After expending the strength of nine cows and two tigers, they finally managed to open the coffin lid and pushed it directly onto the ground. Chaozi replied with a smile: "Dont worry, Ill come down later and bring some treasures left by your ancestors for you to take back to your dad."

  Zhuo Xiong: "Damn it...!!"

  After a brief rest, "click" sounded, and Cha Wenbins flashlight was turned on by him. The dazzling light made Chaozi unable to help but close his eyes. "Click", his own one was also turned on, the whole tomb chamber was brightly lit, and everything became clear at a glance.

  Opposite them, on the ground lay a bronze coffin lid with an embossed bronze statue of a person. Chaozi let out a "hmm" and walked over, while Cha Wenbin behind him was also drawn to the carving.

  This is a very strange figure, and its called "human" because it indeed has five senses, but this human-like image has eyes that protrude from the eye sockets, and its ears are extremely exaggerated and drooping, making them look more like animal ears. A large mouth is wide open, with the corners of the mouth reaching all the way to the ear roots, giving both men an indescribable sense of surprise and wonder. Whats even more astonishing to Cha Wenbin is that this bronze person has three layers of lip prints, with a slight upturn at the corners of the mouth, expressing a faint smile, which also gives people a mysterious and intimate feeling. The size of this human figure is generally the same as that of a real person, with hair combed into a "brain bun" at the back of the head, and the bronze cover on top of its clothes has a left-slanted forked design, but only the clothes are covered in bronze rust, while all other parts retain that pure bronze color.

  Chaozi is now deeply impressed by the ancient peoples bronze smelting technology and carving techniques. Just from the ten bronze coffins discovered here, any one of them would be a top national treasure that could cause a sensation around the world if taken out. He thought to himself that if he could get out alive, he must reveal the secrets of this place to the world.

  Chaozi was fascinated by the artistic sense of antiques, but what made Zha Wenbins heart skip a beat wasnt this coffin lid. He discovered something crucial to him: words!

  Its that kind of writing again! Although its only four short characters, both the size and structure of the strokes are the same as the one found in General Temple.

  Zha Wenbin couldnt conceal his joy, excitedly saying: "Chaozi, come take a look, its this kind of text. Your dad has been helping me research the origin and meaning of this text all along. I didnt expect to see it here today! I want to make a rubbing of it and bring it back for your dad to see. Its very possible that weve found the source of this text!"
