Tomb Raider: The man is in the Nine Gates, but the system insists it's the Primordial Era.

Scarface walked up to the nameless monument with his knife in hand.

He looked down at the tightly sealed coffin containing the female corpse.

Click~

After the cold and raw yang energy enters a certain range.

The coffin lid opened slightly with a snap.

A chilling, putrid stench rushed straight to the scarred man's face.

But the faint golden light blocked it from reaching her face.

The woman's wedding dress in the coffin was as bright red as new. Her body, which had been dead for a hundred years, was not decayed. Her face was as beautiful as if she were still alive. However, she was completely still, without any breathing or movement that a normal living person should have.

Scarface looked down and then turned to look at the positions of Su Mu and the others.

Upon seeing the woman's beautiful face, and relying on Su Mu's protective spell, a different thought suddenly arose in his mind.

"What a waste of such a beautiful face. If only you had met me back then!"

"I certainly won't abandon you like that scholar. If your father dares to hit you, I'll kill him. What a pity. Next time you're reincarnated, come to our place. If you can't be my wife, you can be my son."

"The master ordered that you be dealt with this time. Blame it on your own for coming out to harm people for no reason."

Pshaw~

Scarface spat in his hand and raised the knife high.

next moment.

A chilling wind swept through the grass, and the deathly silence instantly transformed into a chilling, man-eating stillness.

Those ghostly eyes, closed for a hundred years, suddenly opened, their pupils pitch black and empty, devoid of any light.

The female corpse was about to slowly get up.

boom!

The blade flashed, severing the wooden coffin and the upper half of the female corpse to the side.

Scarface squatted down, took out the corpse-suppressing talisman Su Mu had given him, spat on it, and pressed it onto the coffin lid.

Thump thump thump thump thump~

A deafening pounding sound came from inside the half-cracked coffin.

"That's really weird, they're still alive?"

Scarface was so startled that he almost fell backward.

Then he took out several more talismans and began to stick them around the coffin.

"The burial goods are really plentiful. They're so rich! They give so much to the dead. It's a pity I'm destined not to be able to take it."

"Master, the talisman is affixed. What's next?"

Scarface stood up and asked Su Mu behind him.

Su Mu remained silent and turned to look at Sun Guofu.

Su Mu seemed to have never encountered anything like a zombie rice dumpling before, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

If it were burned on the spot, wouldn't that destroy the talisman used to suppress the corpse first?

If we simply continue digging and burying it, then inevitably some unlucky person will wander into it again and awaken it once more.

Sun Guofu nodded: "Simply piercing this century-old peach wood sword into its chest, right between its heart and chest, will eliminate it."

weapons.

Looking at the peach wood sword in Sun Guofu's hand, Su Mu subconsciously thought of the word "weapon".

After so much time has passed, all he has obtained are scriptures, talismans, spells, pills, and bloodlines, but not a single weapon.

The century-old peach wood sword in Sun Guofu's hand seemed to be ignored by the system as well, with no special notification message appearing.

"Here you go." Sun Guofu tossed the peach wood sword to the scarred man standing by the grave mound.

Scarface nodded, sheathed his longsword, gripped the hilt of the peach wood sword with both hands, closed his eyes, and forcefully thrust it into the half-cracked coffin.

puff~

呲味味~

The stench, unlike that of normal human blood, burst forth instantly, causing the scarred man to frown.

However, the woman in red never had a chance to react, and was relentlessly bullied from beginning to end, so the fear was greatly reduced.

"Just leave it like that?" Scarface scratched his head.

"Alright, he should be truly dead now. The peach wood sword should still be returned to the old Taoist. Thank you both for your help this time..."

Before Sun Guofu could finish speaking, the situation at the front suddenly changed.

Beneath the coffin, which was clearly covered with a corpse-suppressing talisman, a pair of blood-stained hands suddenly yanked up and forcefully pulled back the scarred man who was bending over to take the peach wood sword.

The terrifying force prevented Scarface from standing up: "Master!"

"Oh no!" Sun Guofu shouted.

"This female corpse has become a force to be reckoned with!" Sun Guofu looked at Hu Guohua, whose face was pale and contorted in pain.

At this moment, even Sun Guofu felt a sense of fear.

Because the female corpse ate Hu Guohua's heart, once she breaks open the coffin, she will be the first to kill Hu Guohua, and then, taking advantage of the darkness and the pervasive yin energy, she will continue to seek revenge on them.

Scarface usually only fought small-scale battles; he'd never seen anything like this before.

The golden light protecting his body continued to flash, but the pull, though not fatal, could not be broken.

Inside the coffin beneath him, one could already see the red-clad female corpse whose body he had cut off halfway, her pitch-black eyes staring straight at him.

"Don't look."

"Let me do it."

Su Mu's voice rang out as he reached out and pried open the female corpse's hands that were tightly gripping the scarred man's arms.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

……

Scarface was only able to escape when Su Mu pried the hands together so that they were parallel to the back of the palms.

Scarface was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his forehead dripping with cold sweat.

"Still not dead?"

Su Mu was puzzled. He kicked the right arm of the female corpse, which should have been as hard as iron, causing it to bend and the bone to break through the body.

"Are you alright?"

Su Mu felt uneasy under the stare of the female corpse who was staring straight at him, so he simply stepped on her face.

As for whether the female corpse was pretty or not, Su Mu didn't even have time to look at it.

Even if someone is very beautiful and charming, they are still a dead person.

Moreover, she was a female ghoul pregnant with the child of a down-on-his-luck, timid scholar.

"Beware of corpse poison!"

Seeing Su Mu's barbaric and violent actions, Sun Guofu screamed in terror.

"Where did the corpse poison come from?"

Su Mu frowned, looking at the female ghost's head that he had crushed, and the bent female ghost's arms that were trying to move but could not make the normal attack or scratching gestures of a human.

Give me the knife.

"Oh, oh, oh."

Scarface hurriedly drew the knife from his waist and carefully handed it to Su Mu.

Su Mu took out the talisman he had used when he killed the water locusts' henchmen on the street, lit it, and shook it on the blade to burn it.

He didn't know if using the talisman this way would be effective, but he didn't have time to think about it now.

"I'm sorry for accepting money and doing favors for people, miss. In the next life... no, it seems you don't have a next life."

Su Mu raised the knife high, first severing the woman's outstretched arms, then inserted it into her abdominal cavity and frantically stirred it.

If this doesn't kill the opponent, then Su Mu will truly have no other choice.

"Come here."

Su Mu felt the smell was a bit pungent, took a few steps back, and handed the task over to Scarface.

"You fucking scared the hell out of me!"

"I told you not to make the boss do it!"

"Serves you right for looking down on me!"

"Serves you right for not being my wife!"

"I'm calling you..."

Neuropathy.

Su Mu's lips twitched slightly as he continued to retreat.

If only there were lightning magic.

Su Mu muttered to himself.
