The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 913: Chapter 913: Self-Destruction (5)

Yang Ruxin nodded, ”So that means, even if there was something here before, it’s all been taken by these people now.” Waving her hand, she added, ”Let it be, we have already paid our respects, let’s put the lid back on.” As she spoke, she clasped her hands together and bowed toward the two people inside the coffin, ”Sorry for the disturbance, please forgive us.”

Gu Qingheng then went over to lift the lid of the coffin, but Xiaolun, who had been wrapped around his wrist, suddenly shot into the coffin.

”What are you doing? Is there something highly toxic in there too?” Yang Ruxin called out to Xiaolun urgently, ”Come back quickly.”

Xiaolun, however, didn’t listen to her at all. It made a round inside the coffin before emerging, with a green pearl the size of a pigeon’s egg, the very one inlaid in the center of Zhao Gou’s hat, in its mouth.

”Is that pearl poisonous too?” Yang Ruxin frowned, ”Since when did you start being greedy for wealth?”

Xiaolun twisted its body, unable to speak because it was holding the pearl, so it was impossible to know what it meant.

Just then, a gust of cold wind arose, and the candles at the four corners started to flicker. Furthermore, the red flames began to change color, slowly turning blue-green.

”This is bad,” Yang Ruxin’s complexion changed, ”Xiaolun, quickly put the pearl back...”

But Xiaolun ran off slickly.

”What’s going on?” Gu Qingheng asked as he had just managed to push the lid closed.

”There’s a saying ’when men light candles, ghosts blow them out’; it’s a rule among the tomb raiders, that if candles are extinguished, one cannot take anything away. But Xiaolun took the pearl from Zhao Gou’s hat...” Yang Ruxin swallowed nervously, ”So... we need to get out of here quickly, or else... ”

As she was speaking, a clattering noise suddenly erupted from inside the coffin.

Gu Qingheng’s face also turned pale, ”Is it a corpse come to life?”

”It’s a big ’zongzi’,” Yang Ruxin said as she pulled Gu Qingheng to run backward hastily.

However, just as the two of them reached the Stone Chamber’s doorway, the securely placed coffin lid suddenly moved, then flew toward them.

Gu Qingheng pushed Yang Ruxin to the side, then turned back to face the flying coffin lid with both palms. With a loud bang, the lid split into two, and Gu Qingheng was sent flying and hit the stone wall before falling down.

”Gu Qingheng...” Yang Ruxin hurried over to help him up.

”I’m fine... cough cough...” Gu Qingheng coughed a few times, fighting the urge to vomit blood.

Meanwhile, the male corpse that was originally lying down in the coffin suddenly sat up, then stood, and with a leap came hopping out of the coffin... and the female corpse followed suit and got up as well.

”A pair of ’zongzi’,” Yang Ruxin swallowed nervously.

”Quickly run,” Gu Qingheng could no longer care about anything else, grabbing Yang Ruxin and Lin Xiwang to run back the way they came.

The pair of big ’zongzi’ hopped and chased after them.

Fortunately, all the doors through which they had passed were left open, so after they ran back to the main burial chamber, they quickly shut the stone door. The door closed slowly while the two ’zongzi’ hopped quickly. Thankfully, by the time they reached it, the door was left with only a sliver of an opening, too small for them to pass through.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the two ’zongzi’ started pounding on the door, causing the stone door to start shaking after a few blows.

Yang Ruxin swallowed nervously, ”We can only go back the way we came, quickly move.”
