Chapter 1857 In Deep Crisis
The reporter who gossiped about me was fired from Moonlight City Daily after the truth was clarified, but he was hired by a smaller gossip magazine in Moonlight City in a blink of an eye.
It is said that he is doing well.
Back to business.
I racked my brains, trying to find a good way that would allow me to swallow such a large piece of fine gold.
But after thinking about it, I finally came up with more than a dozen methods, but none of them were feasible. There was no way. Cutting off a piece secretly would definitely lead to discovery. Carrying the coffin out of the mausoleum would be seen by the descendants of the legendary heroes waiting outside. Even if they I promise to keep everything secret, but who can be sure that I won’t unconsciously slip out some secrets hidden in my heart while the wine is intoxicating? Who can guarantee that the person they drink with is not the kind of person who listens intently?
But if they were killed because of a mere golden coffin, it would not only be morally unreasonable, but also a bit like killing the goose that lays the egg.
Who is sure that they will not discover other Huangling ancient tombs in the future?
You know, the Zephyr Continent that has gone through countless years has countless treasures hidden underground, but we just don’t know about them until they reveal their whereabouts.
I don't want the secret of the treasure to be leaked, but I don't want to kill people and silence them. This is the key to my dilemma.
I checked around the coffin again, but still found no hidden door.
I began to wonder if this was not a coffin at all, but a piece of fine gold that looked like a coffin?
Odachi said: "Stop guessing. If there is no coffin in the tomb, what is the purpose of putting a whole piece of fine gold? Is it a treasure to hold the tomb? Haha, unless the owner of the tomb is stupid, he will definitely not do this. An act of revealing wealth—unless he has been longing for his lair to be robbed.”
"You can't say that," I retorted, "Is it possible that the owner of the tomb deliberately placed such a large piece of fine gold here to ensure that the real coffin would not be stolen, telling the tomb robbers that you can take this piece of fine gold?" , but as long as you don’t damage the tomb chamber and the real coffin.”
"Innocent" Odachi sneered and said: "Do you really think that all tomb robbers are like you? They have power, money and women? Most of the tomb robbers entered the industry because they couldn't eat. These people worked hard to come all the way, okay? It's easy to see oil and water, how can you not loot it all! Do you really think they are good men and women who have principles to eat fast and chant Buddha's name?"
After a little provocation from Odachi, I finally woke up.
Yes, I am not a pure tomb robber, just out of curiosity.
Those tomb robbers who make a living by robbing tombs do it for a living. As long as they can live a good life, they don't care about etiquette and morality. Even the tombs of the legendary heroes who saved the Zephyr Continent from water and fire will still be looted as long as they can crawl in. .
Thinking about it this way, this lump of fine gold should not be displayed in the tomb as a favor to the tomb robbers, but actually become the coffin for the body of the tomb owner.
But since it is a coffin, why doesn't it even have an opening?
Odachi chuckled lightly and said: "Is it difficult to solve this problem without opening an opening? Can't you just open one for it?"
After listening to Odachi's advice, I suddenly became enlightened.
A great man once said: In fact, there is no road on earth. When more people walk on it, it becomes a road.
To borrow the words of this great man: In fact, this fine gold coffin had no seams to begin with. The more times it was cut, the more seams appeared.
In order not to disturb the two monsters who were fighting in the distance, I focused my murderous intent on Xi Lan's demon knife and cut it carefully.
One sword, two swords, ten swords, one hundred and ten swords
I was already sweating from exhaustion, but Xilan's demon knife barely managed to cut in less than three centimeters.
Pulling out the demon sword, I sat down on the ground, took out the water bag, took a sip, took a long breath, and stared at the coffin in front of me full of resentment.
No wonder it can be used as a raw material for forging artifacts. This hardness is no joke.
After resting for a while and starting work again, I decided to try using the Odachi.
I didn't use it before because it was too long. If I wasn't paying attention, it would easily scare someone off. However, Xilan's demon sword progressed too slowly. As a last resort, I still had to use the Odachi sword to complete this arduous task.
When the pure black blade is attached with blood-red patterns, its evil spirit is even more highlighted.
Odachi was deeply satisfied with my murderous intention as the contrast between black and red became more and more obvious. It even said excitedly: "This is the murderous intention. The bright black and red not only highlight the coldness and despair, but also the obvious bloodthirst and restlessness." , look at your current killing intent, and then think about your original chaotic killing intent, there is a huge difference."
"No matter how good-looking the murderous intention is, it still depends on its power." I said, "If the current murderous intention is not as powerful as before, I would rather choose the chaotic one."
Not to be outdone, Odachi sarcastically mocked my attitude, but I ignored it.
The blade smoothly cuts into the previously made opening and continues cutting downward.
Because I don’t know the thickness of the coffin, I have to test it out and wait until I feel that the obstruction to cutting has weakened, which means that I have cut into the space where the corpse is. Then I will cut horizontally according to the depth of the cut to ensure that it will not be damaged. On the premise of removing the body of the tomb owner, a coffin lid was cut out for the coffin.
The Odachi sword is indeed much sharper than Xilan's demon sword, and the cutting speed is also faster, but the speed is limited. Almost every forty cuts can only penetrate about one centimeter. This cutting speed still makes me feel nervous. Scratch the liver.
I asked Odachi: "Is there a faster way to cut?"
Odachi responded: "Yes, I can release the original weight and cut the coffin in half in one go."
"Forget it then" I decided to give up this attempt.
My purpose is to steal the fine gold coffin, not to exhume the body and sell the bones.
Ever since, the long cutting process began again.
Time passed very slowly in the tomb, so slow that it could drive people crazy, especially while paying attention to the movements of the two behemoths dueling while boringly cutting the coffin.
This process was so boring that I even dozed off.
When he opened his eyes again, the tomb had become silent and deathly silent.
I rubbed my eyes and looked up. I was immediately shocked.
What the hell is this!
I saw in front of me, less than half a meter away from me, the giant orange scorpion with six blood-red compound eyes, staring at me fiercely.
This scene scared me almost out of my mind.
There are similar scenes in horror movies. Monsters that suddenly appear will scare people, but it is a horror movie after all, and it is over when it is cut. But this giant scorpion in front of me is real!
It's a monster that can kill people!
Feeling the strong threat of death, I immediately wanted to pull out the sword and fight back, but suddenly I found that the sword was stuck in the coffin. It was impossible to pull it out immediately!
