Chapter 881
Clues to the Black Coffin
The three boarded the carriage and slowly drove away from the Green Vine Teahouse.
They walked along the path outside the village, and the green hills and clear waters came into view.
Arriving before a quiet yet majestic mountain peak, Qin Miyue couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is there anything special about this mountain?"
Chen Ze took a deep breath, a determined glint in his eyes, "This is the location of the ancient tomb."
Tian Siyao looked up at the mountaintop, where unpredictable dark clouds shrouded it, as if guarding endless secrets.
She said softly, "We are about to face unprecedented challenges and dangers."
"But it is precisely because of this that we are even more determined to unravel this mystery."
After saying that, they silently took steps forward.
As the carriage drove far away from the old village, they felt a cool breeze blowing.
The quiet, damp atmosphere was unsettling.
Suddenly, at a bend in the road, Chen Ze abruptly stopped the carriage.
“Someone is following us.” A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue exchanged a glance, and the atmosphere around them became tense; they couldn't help but become wary.
Chen Ze drew his sword from the carriage, gripped it tightly with both hands, and prepared to face any potential threats.
A sharp whooshing sound came, and six figures suddenly jumped out of the woods.
They were all tall and imposing, with gloomy faces.
"Who are you? Why are you following us?" Chen Ze asked sternly.
One of them sneered, "We were sent by Brother Chao to protect you."
"How can you protect me? It's clearly tailing me!"
Chao's men exchanged glances, their faces showing unease.
"Enough with the talk," Tian Siyao said loudly. "Are you the people Brother Chao sent to stop us from moving forward?"
The men's eyes flashed with malice. "That's right."
"In that case, don't blame us for being rude," Qin Miyue said softly, unfurling a magic talisman beneath her feet.
Swords and magic intertwine; a fierce battle is about to unfold.
The sounds of clashing weapons and exploding spells echoed through the dark forest as Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze engaged in a fierce battle with Chao Ge's men.
Their eyes gleamed with determination and courage; they had to protect themselves while also stopping those who tried to hinder them.
"Quickly finish this!" Chen Ze shouted, his sword flashing.
Tian Siyao silently chanted a spell, and suddenly the surrounding trees grew huge branches and leaves, trapping one of her subordinates.
Qin Miyue then used magic to create an invisible barrier in the air, blocking the attack from another subordinate.
They cooperated with each other and opened their hearts to the battle.
The battle ended shortly afterward.
Chao's men were defeated and fled.
Although Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue and Chen Ze looked a little tired.
But I deeply felt the progress of my own strength and the power of unity.
"We need to get out of here right away," Tian Siyao said breathlessly. "Brother Chao definitely won't let this go."
Qin Miyue nodded. "That's right, we can't stay here for too long."
Chen Ze stared at the mountain peaks ahead, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"We need to head to the location of the ancient tomb and continue our exploration."
They set off again.
After experiencing a series of mysterious events in Mulan Village, Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze decide to delve deeper into the mysteries hidden beneath the ancient village.
They arrived at the foot of a temple known as the Dragon King's Palace.
A crack was discovered, which is speculated to be an entrance to an ancient tomb.
Just as they were preparing to explore further.
A sudden flood swept in, destroying both banks, but miraculously preserving the island in the middle of the river where they stood. A calm followed the flood.
Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze stood on the island in the middle of the river, watching the floodwaters recede.
"The flood is related to the black coffin," Tian Siyao murmured to herself.
Chen Ze clenched his fists, a resolute expression on his face.
"We must find the black coffin and stop its power from continuing its rampage."
Qin Miyue gazed into the distance, sensing the dark forces gathering again not far away.
"We must proceed with caution; the power of the black coffin is exceptionally strong."
The three of them began to act in unison.
They followed the brief trail left by the floodwaters, heading deeper into the mountains.
When they arrived at the cave in front of the mountain peak, it was already dusk.
The magnificent murals cover the walls of the cave, appearing even more mysterious and solemn under the dim light.
"This is the place the Dragon Lord Palace mentioned." Chen Ze stared intently into the depths of the cave.
They ventured deep into the cave and traversed a series of traps and mechanisms.
Each mechanism is a crystallization of ancient wisdom, bringing them endless surprises and challenges.
As they went deeper, Tian Siyao couldn't help but say, "This must be the site of an ancient tomb. Every mechanism is set up to protect the treasures."
Qin Miyue nodded in agreement. "These mysterious traps and mechanisms are all related to the black coffin, so we must proceed with caution."
Finally, at the bottom of the cave, they discovered the long-hidden ancient tomb.
"This is where the black coffin is located." Chen Ze gazed at the black coffin lying quietly in the center.
Tian Siyao took a closer look and found that the black coffin was similar to the symbol on her bracelet.
"There must be some connection between the two," Tian Siyao thought to herself.
Chen Ze slowly reached out and touched the black coffin, closing his eyes to feel the power contained within.
Suddenly, a faint light appeared on the black coffin.
A mysterious figure emerged from the black coffin.
He was tall and imposing, shrouded in a cold and powerful aura.
It was an indescribable deterrent force.
"What brings you here?" The mysterious figure coldly scanned Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze, his voice carrying an invisible sense of oppression.
Tian Siyao looked up and handed the bracelet in her hand to the other person.
"These are the ancient artifacts we found, and we hope they can help us find clues about the black coffin."
The mysterious figure took the bracelet and examined it closely.
He frowned slightly and remained silent for a long time before saying, "The reason the guardians of the ancient tomb caused the flood is because the danger posed by the black coffin has reached its peak."
"A malevolent force from outside the ancient tomb is sealed within the black coffin. If it is not dealt with quickly, the entire village will face destruction."
Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze exchanged shocked glances.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Qin Miyue asked.
The mysterious figure's gaze was resolute. "We need to quickly locate the core of the black coffin and destroy it."
"Only in this way can the power of the black coffin be unlocked."
Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and Chen Ze clenched their fists, determined to save Mulan Village from the threat of the black coffin.
They began their operation in tacit agreement, relying on the mysterious figure to guide them through various mechanisms and traps within the ancient tomb.
After countless life-or-death conflicts and challenges, they finally arrived at the core of the black coffin.
The black coffin emitted eerie light and exuded a terrifying and dark aura.
“It’s time to end all of this,” Chen Ze said coldly.
Tian Siyao, Qin Miyue, and the mysterious figure launched an attack together.
With astonishing strength and wisdom, they swiftly destroyed the core of the black coffin. (End of Chapter)
