Chapter 116: King Xian’s True Body, Flesh Ganoderma Immortal Coffin
Su Mo immediately took the lead and walked forward, Hu Ba Yi and the others followed closely behind with their heads down, no one looking at the portraits on the stone wall, and sure enough, they no longer felt that bewitching power.
They soon reached the top of the cave, but were blocked by a white stone wall in front. A woman was painted on the wall, looking very plump, yet her expression was extremely dignified.
Hu Ba Yi was still studying the portrait when Su Mo suddenly lifted his foot and kicked the stone wall into pieces.
A plump female corpse fell out from within the stone wall.
Hu Ba Yi and the others couldn’t help but be startled again:
“This… the corpse was actually sealed inside the wall?”
“This couldn’t be Xian Wang’s wife, could it!”
As they were speaking, the female corpse suddenly began to inflate gradually, her entire body rapidly swelling like a balloon, her skin and flesh stretched to a semi-transparent state.
“Damn, this woman is about to explode!”
Wang Pang Zi’s startled shout had just fallen when the female corpse’s body suddenly burst open, and many gray moths flew out from inside, flapping toward Su Mo and the others fiercely!
They were precisely corpse moths that grow inside corpses; these moths were covered in corpse powder, and ordinary people would be infected with corpse qi upon contact, leading to corpse poison entering the body.
“Get lost!”
Su Mo let out an angry shout, and Kirin Sacred Might instantly swept over, startling the group of corpse moths into scattering in all directions.
Hu Ba Yi and the others couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that fortunately Master was here; otherwise, this group of corpse moths would have been very difficult to deal with.
Su Mo said nothing, stepped over the broken wall, and walked inside.
Ahead was a tomb chamber with an alchemy furnace and a bronze coffin topped with a bird statue. The coffin lid was not sealed, and Wang Pang Zi easily opened the coffin, but inside was a feathered jade robe.
Wang Pang Zi picked up the feathered jade robe and found that the clothes were of exquisite quality, so he prepared to stuff it into his backpack, but was stopped by Xue Li Yang:
“Don’t just stuff it anywhere; this thing will probably oxidize quickly once outside, and then it won’t be worth a dime!”
“Give it to me!”
Su Mo took the feathered jade robe and casually put it into his system space.
His system space was constant temperature and humidity, the best place to preserve this feathered jade robe.
Hu Ba Yi and Xue Li Yang then turned their gazes to the murals on the wall, seeing that these murals looked rough, as if painted by Xian Wang himself, with content nothing more than boasting about his achievements in conquering the four barbarians and civilizing the masses.
“That old coot sure knows how to brag, but after searching for so long, we haven’t seen his coffin. Could it be that the old guy really became an immortal?”
Hu Ba Yi looked around but didn’t find Xian Wang’s corpse, and couldn’t help feeling puzzled.
Su Mo smiled faintly:
“His corpse is right below here!”
“Below?”
Hu Ba Yi and the others were all stunned.
Su Mo nodded:
“This tomb chamber is actually Xian Wang’s coffin, but this coffin is not made of ordinary materials; it’s made from a rare flesh ganoderma immortal in the world!”
“July 20th, the ominous star leaves its palace, Tai Sui descends the mountain; the position we’re standing in is where the feng shui rushes greatly. This tomb chamber is an old flesh ganoderma that died underground for ten thousand years; Xian Wang used it as his own coffin!”
“What!”
“No way!”
Hu Ba Yi and the others were all shocked speechless, even Little Brother Zhang Qiling had a shocked expression on his face.
Xue Li Yang then drew her dagger and cut into the tomb chamber wall, seeing that although the wall appeared smooth like stone, it was indeed sliced open with one cut.
The four couldn’t help but look at each other.
“Master, Xian Wang used this as his coffin, so his corpse…”
Su Mo closed his eyes and concentrated, sensed for a moment, then pointed to the lower left:
“His corpse is right here, but after I retrieve the Mu Chen Pearl, this place will become extremely dangerous, so you all wait outside first!”
Hu Ba Yi and the others exchanged glances, then nodded in unison:
“Okay, you be careful!”
With that, the four quickly exited the tomb chamber, gripping their assault rifles and Black Gold Ancient Blade, watching Su Mo intently.
Su Mo nodded to them, then drew the Frost Moon Sword and slashed toward the stone wall on the lower left.
After thrusting the sword into the stone wall, Su Mo then cut out a human shape according to the location of Xian Wang’s corpse visualized via the Great Yin Meditation Technique.
Soon, a corpse appeared before him, a king wearing a black python-patterned robe with a purple gold jade belt around his waist. But what made Hu Ba Yi and the others outside the cave shudder was that this corpse had no face; its entire head seemed to have turned to jade, with the five facial features apparently melted into the face.
Su Mo had just prepared to pull the corpse out of the stone wall when many pale arms appeared below, suddenly grabbing Xian Wang’s corpse as if to quickly drag it down.
“Master, be careful!”
Hu Ba Yi and the others couldn’t help shouting in alarm.
Su Mo snorted coldly, grabbed the chest area of Xian Wang’s clothes with his left hand, and with his right hand, slashed the Frost Moon Sword directly at its neck.
Crunch!
Xian Wang’s head was instantly severed by his sword. Before the head could hit the ground, Su Mo caught it with his left hand and turned to stride quickly outward.
“Go!”
With one command to go, Hu Ba Yi and the others hurriedly ran outside.
The group had just run a few steps when a massive earthquake-like rumble came from behind, and the entire cave shook as if it was about to collapse.
“The Flesh Ganoderma Immortal is waking up, hurry!”
Su Mo leaped out of the cave in one bound and said to Hu Ba Yi and the others.
Hu Ba Yi and the others hurriedly followed Su Mo and ran outside, soon reaching the bottom of the large cave outside. Just as they prepared to jump down from the cave entrance, the shaking behind them intensified, and stones began falling continuously from the cave ceiling.
Su Mo then directly stored Xian Wang’s head into his system space, urged Hu Ba Yi and the others to jump down the cave entrance, then scooped up Xue Li Yang and jumped down from the cave entrance.
They had just jumped down when a large stone fell from the cave ceiling, landing right on the cave entrance they had come through.
Several people looked back and couldn’t help thinking how close that was.
Xian Wang had placed his corpse in the coffin made from the flesh ganoderma immortal; not only had his head been jadeified by the Mu Chen Pearl contained in its mouth, but even his consciousness had fused with the flesh ganoderma immortal. After Su Mo cut off its head, the flesh ganoderma immortal indeed awoke immediately.
The earlier earth-shaking tremors were precisely the flesh ganoderma immortal, fused with Xian Wang’s consciousness, rising to reclaim its head!
The group didn’t dare delay any longer and immediately dashed forward along the path they came, soon charging past the Three Lives Bridge and arriving outside the Heavenly Gate.
They had just reached outside the Heavenly Gate when a rumbling collapse sounded from the tomb chamber behind. After the flesh ganoderma immortal awoke, it quickly caused the tomb inside to collapse; if the group had run even one step slower, they would have been buried inside the tomb.
Su Mo glanced at the flying rubbish stones inside the tomb and said gravely:
“Hurry and get out first; the Flesh Ganoderma Immortal is about to emerge from the tomb, which will surely cause the pool to pour in, and then it won’t be easy to get out!”
