Tomb raiding: It all started with the kidnapping of Yin Xinyue

After saying that, he reached out and touched the outer coffin.

A bone-chilling coldness instantly swept through his body from his fingertips, causing him to shiver and withdraw his hand.

The others were somewhat surprised to see this.

Was the corpse in the coffin really that powerful?

The mere smell of death emanating from it was enough to make even the notorious bandit leader, Partridge Whistle, dare not touch it.

Partridge Whistle breathed a sigh of relief and advised, "I think we should still be careful."

He glanced back at the direction outside the palace gate.

The idea is to wait until most of the people have arrived and all preparations are complete before opening the coffin.

"Chief Chen, there's no need to rush things."

Li Xiaohu nodded; he felt the same way.

"Taking it one step at a time is the best strategy."

The power of the Xiangxi Corpse King has exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

Although everyone present was a master of the underworld, they might be able to defeat the Xiangxi Corpse King if they joined forces.

But if the solution can be found in the easiest way with the fewest casualties, why go to all that trouble?

Chen Yulou frowned and fell into deep thought.

He was actually extremely anxious, thinking only of quickly opening the coffin, stealing the treasure, and then returning in triumph.

Unfortunately, everyone else disagreed, so for the sake of the bigger picture, they had no choice but to agree for the time being.

"it is good."

"Then let's wait until Luo Laowai arrives with his men before we talk about it."

Chen Yulou glanced regretfully at the purple-gold coffin and reached out to touch it.

Just as he was about to touch the purple-gold coffin, a strange creaking sound suddenly came from inside!

Chen Yulou subconsciously withdrew his hand and asked in surprise, "Could it be that the zombies have already started turning into zombies?"

"But we haven't even opened the coffin yet!"

"Meow!"

Li Xiaohu's Jin Yunu suddenly leaped onto the purple-gold coffin and roared inside.

"Meow! ————"

The round-tailed tiger in the distance roared at a dark corner.

The Angry Golden Rooster behind Li Xiaohu also began to crow, flapping its wings and striking the basket on its back.

He immediately frowned and said, "No!"

"It's not a zombie resurrection!"

"It's a demon!"

Partridge Whistle also sensed an unusual aura and exclaimed, "And it's a powerful demon!"

Their words startled everyone!

"Creak! — Creak! —"

Another strange noise came from inside the purple-gold coffin.

Chen Yulou pulled out his Little Divine Sword to prepare for the attack, but then he discovered that Li Xiaohu was heading in the direction of the Round-Tailed Tiger.

He hurriedly caught up and asked, "Brother Xiaohu, what kind of great demon are you talking about?"

"Could it be another six-winged centipede?!"

Li Xiaohu walked to the side of Round-Tailed Tiger with a torch, raised his hand to illuminate the roof beam in front of them, and gestured, "Look over there."

The group looked in that direction.

Suddenly, I saw a completely black "pipa" hanging from the roof beam, which was quite eerie!

Take a closer look...

It turned out to be a jet-black scorpion, about the size of a large pipa (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument).

It has a pair of huge black pincers in front of it and a sharp scorpion tail behind it, hanging firmly from the beam.

"Meow! ————"

The round-tailed tiger roared at it!

It seemed to be disturbed by the roar, or perhaps scorched by the heat of the flames.

The black scorpion suddenly shuddered, and then with lightning speed, it hooked its tail and shot a stream of foul-smelling venom at the round-tailed tiger below!

Then he flipped over and leaped onto the roof beam, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Everyone scatter!" Li Xiaohu shouted, urging everyone to get out of the way!

Her eyes also looked at Erhu with concern.

Fortunately, Erhu was agile and jumped out of the venom's attack range in the first place without getting injured.

But the venom, when it hit the ground, instantly corroded the bluestone floor, leaving it pitted and crackling, making a hissing sound and emitting a foul stench.

Even Partridge Whistle couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing this, "What a vicious poison!"

Chen Yulou's gaze followed the black scorpion intently.

After discovering that it had disappeared into the darkness, it did not flee, but instead slithered swiftly along the roof beams, changed direction, and then hooked its stinger at them again.

Chen Yulou hurriedly shouted, "Watch out!"

The voice just fell.

The black scorpion shot out another venomous spurt, aimed directly at Yin Xinyue!

Yin Xinyue stood there in a panic, not knowing where to hide.

Suddenly, a figure tackled him, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Before he could even feel the pain in his body, he saw the girl in red staring at him fiercely: "Are you trying to die by standing still?"

After saying that, he stood up and looked around warily.

"Get up quickly." Li Xiaohu rushed to the two of them, pulled Yin Xinyue up from the ground, and then searched for the black scorpion with his eyes.

"There!" Chen Yulou pointed out the location of the black scorpion.

After seeing the black scorpion clearly, Partridge Whistle pulled out his Mauser pistol from his waist, raised the gun, and fired!

The bullet struck the black scorpion precisely.

It only caused a few sparks, slightly slowing its progress, but did not seem to cause any effective damage.

Partridge Whistle spat and cursed, "Another demon who has cultivated a refined iron body!"

"Keep going! Shoot it down first!"

Li Xiaohu stepped forward, took off the basket from his back, and threw it high into the air!

The raging golden rooster flew out of its basket, flapped its wings and crowed angrily, and flew towards the black scorpion on the beam!

"Hehehehe!" [New book is now available! Please, dear readers, subscribe to all titles, and send me lots of flowers, reviews, monthly tickets, and other data support! Thank you all!]

Upon hearing the crowing of the Angry Golden Rooster, the Black Scorpion suddenly shuddered!

A red light suddenly emanated from a pair of dark eyes.

Then it raised its two giant claws and opened and closed them repeatedly, while its scorpion tail stinger swayed left and right, actually provoking the Angry Golden Rooster!

Scorpions and roosters are natural enemies.

Ordinary scorpions would only run away when they see a rooster!

But this black scorpion actually attacked the rooster, and its target was a spirit beast that had become a demon, the Angry Golden Rooster!

This is enough to demonstrate its fierce and bloodthirsty nature!

Upon seeing this, Partridge Whistle exclaimed in surprise, "This scorpion is truly sinister!"

"How dare you provoke the Angry Golden Rooster!"

Chen Yulou guessed, "I never expected that the rich medicinal properties accumulated over the years in the Pill Palace of Ping Mountain would breed so many evil spirits and monsters!"

“No,” Li Xiaohu retorted, “this black scorpion is different.”

"It exudes a strong aura of yin and corpse."

"It must be because he spent so many years in this tomb and absorbed the corpse energy emitted by the Corpse King."

"Heh." Chen Yulou suddenly sneered, "In other words..."

"If we want to open the coffin, wouldn't we need its permission first?"
