Chapter 638 Sneak Attack
After only a brief hesitation, Zhu Yu instantly understood what the huge "stone block" was and what this "underground chamber" was.

That "stone pier" was a huge stone coffin, and if I'm not mistaken, there should be a coffin inside.

This "underground chamber" is undoubtedly the main burial chamber of a tomb.

Zhu Yu suddenly felt somewhat fortunate that in the past, because of her hard work, she would occasionally choose to watch things that could relax her nerves, including digging up large tombs.

Otherwise, she might still be a little confused right now.

Lu Qing and Fu Wen were clearly aware of where they were, and their expressions showed some surprise.

Zhu Yu tiptoed around the stone coffin, his eyes fixed on the place where the top and walls of the coffin met, examining it carefully.

After walking about halfway around, she suddenly stopped and silently beckoned to Lu Qing and the others.

Lu Qing was originally following behind, but when she saw Zhu Yu's gesture, she gently moved closer and saw where Zhu Yu was pointing. The top of the outer coffin and the outer coffin wall were not completely sealed, but there was a small gap. When she reached out and touched it, she could feel fine stone powder around the gap.

If it weren't for the fear of alerting the enemy, I estimate that if I shone a tinderbox on the underside of the coffin, I would have been able to see some clear scratches.

Even Lu Qing, who considered himself well-informed, couldn't help but show surprise in his eyes at this moment.

If it hadn't been moved back and forth many times, how could there be such obvious gaps between the stone coffin top, which should have been solid and seamless, and the coffin walls?
The slight misalignment between the gaps and the top of the coffin was partly due to the back-and-forth pushing and pulling of the stone slabs, and partly to allow for ventilation inside.

He had only seen underground palaces and coffins depicted in books before, and had never seen them in person. He never imagined that someone would choose to hide in someone else's coffin.

Now is certainly not the time to be surprised. Lu Qing quickly came to his senses and turned around to signal to Fu Wen. Fu Wen understood immediately. After Lu Qing pulled Zhu Yu back a little, Fu Wen moved very nimbly and lightly to approach the stone coffin and placed his hands on the top of the coffin.

Although the rune was much smaller and more agile than the talisman, and its strength was also slightly inferior, that was only in comparison to the talisman. Compared to ordinary people, it was definitely a strongman that would make people take notice.

In addition, the top of the stone coffin had been moved countless times and was not fixed tightly. At this moment, he bent his front leg, straightened his back leg, exerted force from his waist, and pushed with both arms. The stone slab that served as the top of the coffin instantly shifted and opened a gap slightly wider than the door gap above.

Without hesitation, Fu Wen leaped onto the stone sarcophagus, placing his feet on the upper edge of the sarcophagus wall. Just as he was about to look down into the interior of the sarcophagus, a coffin lid suddenly flew out in front of him.

Fu Wen blocked the coffin lid with his hand, but the next moment, a handful of powder of unknown origin was thrown at him, hitting him squarely in the face.

He felt a burning sensation in his eyes, his vision blurred and he couldn't see anything clearly. He swayed and fell off the stone coffin wall.

Lu Qing quickly stepped forward to support him, preventing him from falling and getting injured.

Just then, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the stone coffin, moving so fast that it caught everyone off guard.

By the time Zhu Yu and Lu Qing came to their senses, they only saw a dark figure rushing straight towards the cave entrance they had come from. It was clear that this person knew everything about the cave inside very well, so even in such a frantic escape, they didn't trip over the thin wire on the ground or make the copper bell on the wall ring.

"Hold onto the rune." Lu Qing no longer needed to remain silent. He quickly instructed Zhu Yu and then followed the dark figure into the passageway.

Fu Wen was both anxious and angry. His eyes were burning so badly he couldn't open them, but he was still eager to chase after Lu Qing. Zhu Yu grabbed him, pressed him down to the ground, pulled out a small water pouch from his waist, and immediately began to rinse his eyes.

It was pitch black here, and Zhu Yu wasn't sure what kind of powder the other party had thrown up. He only knew that rinsing it off as soon as possible was better than dragging it out.

When the water in the water pouch was almost gone, the burning pain in Fu Wen's eyes had lessened considerably. He repeatedly assured himself that he could now see everything clearly, and apart from the tears streaming down his face, he felt no other discomfort. Only then did Zhu Yu agree to let him follow Lu Qing's footsteps and rush outside.

Fu Wen's eyes were said to have recovered a lot, but they were still blurry with tears, and he inevitably stumbled and bumped along the way. Zhu Yu's condition was only slightly better than his. Neither of them could increase their movement speed. When they finally returned to the entrance of the passage, to the wooden door that could only be opened a narrow crack before.

There was no wooden door left, only a gap. Judging from the broken pieces of wood, it didn't look like it had been forced open; it looked like someone had forcefully ripped the door panel off from the outside.

As for who made the mistake, the answer quickly came to Zhu Yu and the others.

"Second Master, the man has been caught, don't worry." Fu Lu appeared at the door with a beaming face. He couldn't wait to tell Zhu Yu the good news, and then he noticed the runes next to Zhu Yu. "Big Brother, why are your eyes so red? Did that bastard use some dirty trick on you just now?!"

Zhu Yu squeezed out the door and walked out quickly. Lu Qing was tearing a strip of cloth from someone's clothes and tightly binding the person's hands behind their back.

That person was like a rag doll, limp and lifeless, completely at the mercy of others.

"Is he still alive?" Zhu Yu asked, feeling a little worried as he looked at the other person's condition.

Fu Lu hurriedly said from the side, "Second Master, don't worry. Although I am stronger than anyone else, I know how to use my strength."

Just now, as soon as that person rushed up and touched the wooden board, I pulled him and the board together and threw him away. He was knocked unconscious on the spot, and then Grandpa rushed up.

Don't worry, I was afraid that guy's small frame wouldn't be able to withstand one punch from me, so after he was knocked unconscious, I didn't give him another one.

Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and patted his arm approvingly: "Let's see if there's anything that can provide light so we can get a good look at what this person looks like."

Fu Lu readily agreed and immediately went to look for it.

After looking around, they found nothing that could be used for lighting. There were no oil lamps or candles, and they couldn't even gather enough items to make a torch.

Finally, having exhausted all other options, Fu Lu had no choice but to tear down the wooden plank nailed to a window, which finally brought some light into the small wooden building.
