Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Black Six Disappears Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Black Six Disappears Li Wenli and Bai Junjun were deceived, and their rage soared to its peak.
He asked Ah Dao to stay behind to care for the wounded, while he and Bai Junjun pursued their target once again.
From just a mont ago to now, even if Black Six had eight legs and ran, he couldn’t have gone far.
Soon they heard the sound of a chanism moving from the main tomb chamber.
The two rushed back and managed to see the coffin lid being pushed open again, the corpse was also pulled out.
It was obvious this guy had hidden inside this coffin.
When Li Wenli and Bai Junjun leaned closer, they found nothing unusual in the coffin aside from the sound of gears turning.
Clearly, there was a hidden passage, and Black Six had escaped through it.
However, the passage had closed again, and they had to quickly find the chanism to open the door if they wanted to pursue him.
Yet, this stone coffin was strangely crafted, and after searching for a while, they couldn’t find any buttons or chanisms.
“Don’t rush, let’s slowly look for clues,” Bai Junjun suggested, “If Black Six could find it, I don’t believe we are less capable than him.”
“…” Black Six, he was, after all, a professional Tomb Explorer.
Of course, Black Six, busy fleeing for his life at this mont, had no idea Bai Junjun was grumbling about him.
Li Wenli was amused by Bai Junjun’s words, finally calming his frantic mood considerably.
He resigned himself to failure and sat down on the floor, looking intently at the sarcophagus.
Speaking of which, this sarcophagus was also made of stone, still engraved with the life stories related to the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord.
One side seed to pertain to his ascension to immortality.
The Central South Overlord was depicted standing on a platform-like structure with the words Ascension Platform boldly inscribed on it.
Speaking of the Ascension Platform, it was said in legends that immortals who ascended to the Thirty-Three Heavens passed through this place.
They ascended to the Heavenly Court through the South Heavenly Gate from the Ascension Platform, with another notorious place called the Executed Immortal Platform where punished immortals descended to the mortal realm.
And the Central South Overlord ascending from the Ascension Platform ant that he was officially becoming an immortal.
Having this stone sculpture on the sarcophagus was quite normal, but since Black Six disappeared right in front of them, there definitely was a chanism here and could it be related to this Ascension Platform?
While Li Wenli was pondering, Bai Junjun had already rolled up her sleeves, ready to climb into the coffin.
“What are you doing?” Li Wenli pulled the young lady back in alarm.
This place had housed a thousand-year-old corpse; who knew how many Corpse Funguses were inside, and for the young lady to dive into this small space was too reckless.
“Black Six pulled out this ancient corpse, which ans he found the way in there,” said Bai Junjun with certainty.
And her words indeed enlightened Li Wenli!
“Right… right, how did I not think of that.”
Li Wenli felt incredibly foolish, hastily pulling the young lady away from the coffin: “Let do this nial task.”
Saying so, he jumped into the coffin, held his breath, and studied it seriously.
The sight here was just an ordinary stone sarcophagus, its sides still carved with reliefs of cranes and golden dragons amongst clouds.
However, the eyes of these cranes and golden dragons were made of obsidian material, and Li Wenli, with just a glance, obtained the number 49.
He couldn’t help but be puzzled.
In ancient tis, forty-nine marked a cycle, with the deceased undergoing 49 days of rituals before burial, an Eternal Lamp lit for 49 days, and a major ritual held every seven days.
Thinking of these customs, Li Wenli looked again at the cranes and dragons and indeed noticed sothing different.
