Chapter 133 Giant Corpse Cocoon
Cheng Feng's heart sank. The energy of the Bronze Divine Tree was subjective, and the young man knew his time was running out.
That would be tantamount to sentencing oneself to death through the sacred tree.
So he immediately asked, "Please tell me the location of the treasure of the Unspeakable Rider, and the location of the royal tombs you know."
He had some suspicions when Cheng Feng said he was a member of the Unloading Ridge Warriors.
Knowing that the past was already gone, he had no intention of hiding it.
"Come here, I'm only telling you this."
The young man glanced at the men and women around him, pausing for a moment when he saw the bear.
Cheng Feng, skilled and daring, agreed and walked up to the young man.
"The location is..."
The young man did not lie; he told Cheng Feng the exact location of the tomb that he knew.
Finally, he took out a map from his clothes and handed it to Cheng Feng, saying:
"This should be the treasure you're looking for. If you go there, be extremely careful."
After saying this, the young man coughed up green blood.
Cheng Feng reached out to help him up, and the young man nodded his thanks. Then, with Cheng Feng's help, he walked to the coffin.
But there was still a person lying in the coffin, with green blood dripping from the corner of their mouth.
Everyone was utterly horrified, because the person in the coffin was a perfect mirror image of the young man.
There is no difference between the two.
The young man was startled at first, then gave a bitter laugh, broke free from Cheng Feng's hand, and knelt down beside the coffin.
"So that's how it is... I regret what I did!"
After leaving his final words, the young man died silently.
The tomb was silent for a moment, then Black Bear's voice broke the silence:
"He slept for over a thousand years, and died after only a short while of waking up?"
"It's hard to say whether he's alive or dead now."
As soon as Cheng Feng finished speaking, everyone witnessed a bizarre scene.
The young man's body, lying beside the coffin, gradually turned to dust and soon disappeared completely.
The body inside the coffin, however, returned to its original state, just as if the coffin had just been opened.
"I see, so that's how it is!"
Black Bear looked enlightened, as if he had figured something out.
"Just keep it to yourself, don't say it out loud, or you'll cause big problems."
"Don't worry, only the two of us can handle this."
The conversation between Hei Xiazi and Cheng Feng left everyone completely confused.
However, the members of the Unloading Ridge Clan only obeyed Cheng Feng's orders, and they would never ask questions unless Cheng Feng told them.
The three Huo sisters knew they held a lowly position in the group, and asking would only humiliate them.
"The blind man is here to help. The coffin can't just be left like this; let's help restore it!"
Upon hearing this, Hei Xiazi came to Cheng Feng's place, and the two of them worked together to restore the opened coffin to its original state.
After finishing, Cheng Feng dusted off his hands and said:
"Everyone, have something to eat and rest here. The road ahead is difficult."
Without saying a word, the members of the Unloading Ridge Clan took off their backpacks and rested on the spot.
The world inside the tomb is neither black nor white, but the weariness one would experience is no less.
"Young master, we've already reached the main burial chamber. Are we going to stay here any longer?"
Cheng Feng sat on his backpack, leaning against the coffin, arms crossed, and said:
"I didn't come here for these burial goods. Let's get some rest."
You'll understand when you get there.
After saying that, Cheng Feng closed his eyes and began to doze off.
Just ten minutes later, the snoring of the Unloading Ridge disciples could be heard in the tomb.
They slept soundly even in the gloomy tomb.
This is not only a sign of trust in Cheng Feng and the Xieling brothers, but also a mindset that remains calm even if the Tianshan Mountains collapse before them.
Hei Xiazi lay on the coffin lid, and no one knew whether his eyes behind his sunglasses were open or closed.
Four hours later, the members of the Unloading Ridge Clan gradually woke up, bringing life back to the quiet tomb.
"How was your rest?"
Cheng Feng asked Hei Xiazi, who had just gotten off the coffin.
"It's alright, but the coffin lid is a bit hard. It would be better if there was a blanket."
"Then I'll send you a coffin with a blanket another day."
While Cheng Feng and Hei Xiazi chatted idly, everyone tidied themselves up, waiting for Cheng Feng's command.
Seeing this, Cheng Feng walked to the edge of the tomb chamber and lightly jumped onto a tree branch.
"Stay close, everyone. The branches here are so tangled that it's easy to get separated."
At this moment, Hei Xiazi also caught up. He looked at the bronze tree branch at his feet and said:
"Want to go down and take a look?"
“That’s right, what’s under this bronze tree is what truly made this trip worthwhile.”
After Cheng Feng finished speaking, he walked along the branch towards the main trunk of the bronze divine tree.
When this bronze tree was first built, a passageway was created on its main trunk for ascending and descending.
The people of She Kingdom used this route to hunt the Zhulong (a mythical dragon) under the sacred tree.
The disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect behind them proceeded step by step, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
On the contrary, the women of the Huo family walked on the half-meter-wide branches as if they were on flat ground.
Soon the group arrived at the main trunk of the sacred tree, where there was indeed a staircase leading downwards.
Cheng Feng and Hei Xiazi tacitly kept quiet.
To prevent anyone from manifesting any strange or eerie things.
The group walked up the stairs for about half an hour without encountering any danger.
Those dragon-like creatures had also experienced the power of the poison, and now they were hiding somewhere, trembling with fear.
As time went by, they got closer and closer to the base of the sacred tree.
Soon, the path ahead of Cheng Feng and his companions changed; the steps on the divine tree disappeared at the front.
It has become a dilapidated walkway.
"There's something I'm curious about. Why are you so familiar with this place, even though you've never been here before?"
Black Bear, who had held back his words for so long, finally couldn't take it anymore.
He asked curiously as he walked.
Cheng Feng was too lazy to make excuses, so he said directly, "It's a secret. If you want to know, go and find out for yourself."
Hei Xiazi wasn't annoyed by the lack of interest; he simply wanted to chat.
"There's something ahead; there seems to be another light source."
Just as Hei Xiazi was about to continue the conversation, he noticed something amiss out of the corner of his eye and quickly spoke up to remind him.
Cheng Feng also noticed the changes that had occurred earlier.
Soon, following the golden light, everyone arrived at a platform lying across the center of the tree trunk.
"A coffin gleaming with golden light! This trip was definitely worthwhile; I've learned something new!"
Hei Xiazi shielded his eyes with his hand, but the light actually interfered with his vision.
Cheng Feng, who was walking in front, was the first to reach the coffin.
Looking inside, one could see that the coffin was not sealed, and thick iron chains crisscrossed below.
Finally, they all converged on a giant amber that radiated golden light.
The drop from here to the ground where the amber is located is about several tens of meters, and everyone can easily climb down the chains.
"Blind man, are you sure you can handle this? Otherwise, we'll have the Xieling brothers get a rope and send you down."
Cheng Feng noticed that Hei Xiazi was covering his eyes and couldn't help but speak up.
Black Bear shook his head.
"No need to go through all that trouble, you'll get used to it in no time."
Cheng Feng nodded and did not continue to try to dissuade him.
