Stillness, a stillness like death, only that piece of ruins seemed to be telling the shocking and earth-shaking events just now. The first person to wake up was Zhuo Xiong on top of the crack, even he, who was outside the formation, had been stunned unconscious.

  Zhuo Xiong shouted down into the crevice, but there was no response. He didn't know what had happened below, but it must have been terrifying, because he only saw a bolt of lightning strike down before he fainted. Unable to think of anything else, going down to investigate was his only choice.

  Racing down, like flying, rushing towards the valley bottom.

  "Wen Bin ge! Chao Zi!" Zhuo Xiong shouted loudly, except for the echoes that reverberated again and again, there was not a single thread of life here. Carrying the searchlight, from afar Zhuo Xiong saw the tall red giant stone, his first reaction was to run towards it.

  This height was a mere trifle for his agility; with one push of his feet and one grasp of his hands, he climbed up in an instant.

  A pool of blood, Cha Wenbin's Seven Star Sword and the symbol of the Taoist sect leader's seal, as well as the Qiankun bag that had been separated from his body, were scattered all over the platform, but Cha Wenbin himself was nowhere to be found.

  Zhuo Xiong was scared, really scared from the bottom of his heart. He realized that something big must have happened to Wen Bin, otherwise why would he abandon all these things? And there was also that puddle of blood, which had not yet coagulated.

  Zhuo Xiong looked down and saw that under the giant stone, there was a person lying on his back, motionless. Who could this be if not Chao Zi? Zhuo Xiong immediately jumped off the high platform, turned over Chao Zi, and tested his breath. Fortunately, he was still alive, but his face was a bit pale.

  "Chaozi, how are you? Wake up." Zhuo Xiong lifted He Yichao and held him in his arms, slapping his face hard until Chaozi's pale little face was covered with red marks. Only then did he show a slight reaction, "Water..." Chaozi called out vaguely.

  Zhuo Xiong was in a hurry, took out the water bottle he was carrying with him, twisted open the lid and stuffed the mouth of the bottle into his mouth. Perhaps it was poured too quickly, Chaozi drank several mouthfuls and choked, coughing several times before finally coming to. Opening his eyes to see Zhuo Xiong, he grabbed his collar and asked: "Where's Wenbin? How is he?"

  "I didn't see anyone else, just..." Zhōu Xióng said in a low, choked voice, turning his head away.

  Chaozi dragged Zhuo Xiong over and roared: "What is it? Speak quickly!"

  "There was only a pool of blood and the things he had with him."

  "Where?"

  "Over there," said Zhuo Xiong, pointing at the giant red boulder behind him.

  Chaozi struggled to climb up, stumbling and staggering towards the giant rock. He jumped but had no strength left. The over two-meter-high giant rock was now like a huge barrier that Chaozi couldn't overcome. In the end, it was Zhuo Xiong who carried this comrade, his own brother, on his neck and climbed up with him.

  When the super son saw the scene in front of him, he could no longer hold back his emotions and burst into loud wailing. This seven-foot-tall man knelt on the ground, unable to understand why the all-knowing and all-seeing Cha Wenbin had vanished into thin air like smoke. He was the one who had seen him standing on top of the giant stone, casting spells and chanting incantations; he was the one who had seen his invincible brush strokes bring down a heavenly god from the sky. But now, the dazzling pool of fresh blood and the nearby wooden boat that had turned into charcoal presented a stark contrast.

  Chaozi jumped down from the rock, frantically searching every inch of land here. He shouted Chawenbin's name, calling out to his big brother. He yearned for him to hear, and how he wished that in the next second, Chawenbin would appear before him unscathed. Only he didn't know that Chawenbin was actually gone because of him, and if he knew, how could he face himself?

  Zhuo Xiong didn't know what exactly happened here, but judging from Chaozi's actions on the verge of collapse, he also guessed seven or eight. In his dictionary, this rural wild Taoist seemed to have endless wisdom and supernatural powers, and he didn't believe that Cha Wenbin would fall here either.

  When Chaozi used up all his strength and finally fell down under the red boulder again, except for crying there was no better way to vent, just at the moment of despair, Zhuo Xiong, who was still relatively clear-headed, made a new discovery.

  Zhuo Xiong was collecting the "relics" of Cha Wenbin on the stone platform, and found that there were some bloodstains extending all the way to the side of a jade coffin. This coffin had also been seen by him before. In such a place, a large stone appeared with this thing, it's hard not to attract attention, but Cha Wenbin's disappearance made him temporarily forget his doubts. Only now did he notice the route of the bloodstains.

  This jade coffin is crystal clear and radiant, although he doesn't understand jade, but from its temperament, this thing is definitely not an ordinary product. Looking at the size of this general ordinary coffin, Zhuo Xiong pretended to be brave and walked over.

  Gently stroking the coffin lid, a refreshing feeling suddenly entered his heart, making him feel inexplicably comfortable. In that instant, Zhuo Xiong even had an urge to climb in and take a nap. He quickly patted his cheeks, what a terrible thought this was, no matter what, this was still a coffin, coffins were for the dead to sleep in, what was wrong with him?

  In this mountain, there are too many strange and evil things. Chaozi immediately judged that this thing is probably not good stuff, and thought of turning around to leave. But thinking of the little bloodstain, he turned his head again and examined it carefully.

  The advantage of tactical shooting is that the light is concentrated and has strong penetration. If you have friends who play with jade, you must know that there is a top-level jade called "transparent light", which can penetrate the entire stone under the illumination of a flashlight, and see things inside. Zhuo Xiong also saw it at this moment, the shooting lamp made the jade coffin emit a soft warm glow all over, and more amazingly, this glow seemed to be moving around the whole coffin, constantly rotating, it's really beautiful.

  In the dim light, a human-like black silhouette emerged from within the coffin. It was not strange that there was someone inside the coffin, as it was originally meant for the dead to sleep in, but those bloodstains...

  "Superior! Come up immediately, there's a situation!" Zhuo Xiong shouted down.

  He Yi Chao is now desperate, upon hearing the discovery, it's like a drowning person grabbing onto a life-saving straw, he wiped away his tear-stained face and immediately jumped up, Zhuo Xiong pulled him up from above with a few pulls.

  "Did you find him?" Chaozi asked excitedly.

  "Look at that coffin!"

  "Am I asking if you found him?"

  "No, don't be in a hurry, you see the bloodstains on the ground, and finally they dripped to the edge of that coffin. I just saw through the coffin that there is someone inside." Zhuo Xiong said patiently.

  Chao Zi also saw the bloodstain that Zhuo Xiong mentioned, and indeed it was as he said. How come I didn't notice it just now? "Are you saying Wen Bin is inside?"

  Chaozi couldn't guarantee that Wen Bin was lying inside, but only said: "Don't you think this coffin is a bit strange? According to what you said, Brother Wenbin was casting a spell here, and there's also a jade coffin placed beside him. Did he know he would die and specially prepare it for himself?"

  "Blind guy, stop bullshitting me. How could Wenbin die? He fell from such a high waterfall and was fine! But this coffin is indeed weird, do you think we should open it and take a look?"

  "I think it's okay, but he's not here, will the two of us opening the coffin be a problem?"

  "You're afraid of nothing, I've dug up coffins in foreign lands, no less than 80 or 90, but this is the first time I've seen a jade coffin. This thing is absolutely not an ordinary product, from ancient times to the present, using special materials for coffins, either it's royalty or some kind of evil cult! Wen Bin's stuff isn't all here, you take the treasure sword, I'll take the imperial seal, if something comes out in a bit, we'll smash it all down together!" Chaozi said as he picked up the imperial seal from the ground and walked over, Zhuo Xiong knew he couldn't argue with this comrade, so he could only follow along.

  Opening a coffin is nothing new for Chaozi, it's just another day at the office for him as an active field archaeologist. He took over Zhuo Xiong's flashlight and indeed saw the "person" flickering inside. Since there was something, he opened it to take a look.

  Chaozi walked around the jade coffin and didn't find any hinges or anything, it seemed that the lid was just placed on top, but the workmanship was indeed exquisite, from his perspective, this thing was definitely a national treasure! The gap between the lid and the body of the coffin was so tight that even a dagger couldn't be inserted, after discussing for a while, they decided to lift one end each and try to lift it up directly.

  Just as the two were about to take action, a voice suddenly shouted from the darkness: "Wait! Don't touch that thing!"

  "What? There are still people here. Chaozi and Zhuoxiong immediately put down their work, looked up and saw two men in black walking slowly towards this side under the climbing rope."

  "Halt! Who are you?" Zhuo Xiong shouted.

  The two men didn't seem to care, still walking slowly, when Chaozi saw the two men clearly, the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he muttered: "Old Wang..."
