Phoenix Returns - C54

Chu Shiyu watched as Lan’er’s carriage drove off before scuttling into the village. The Fiery Lion and the Violet Electricity Spirit Fox followed her around the jungle.

The Lion and Fox were too eye-catching, so they drove them into the forest and took the small paths.

The mountain behind the village was a graveyard. As Chu Shiyu rode on the back of the Fiery Lion, he saw that the entire graveyard had been excavated.

The lids of the coffins had all been opened, and the bodies inside had all disappeared. No wonder those villagers were crying and begging the great deity to let go of their parents’ corpses.

What would they use to dig out the bones of so many people?

The faint sound of a man’s wailing came from the mountain. Chu Shiyu snapped his fingers at the little fox and saw that the little fox had immediately dashed into the forest.

She was also searching the mountain to see if she could find any more useful clues.

When the sky turned dark, other than the disappearing corpses, there was no trace of Murong Shixiong. However, there was a strange feeling coming from the forest, and a chilling wind was blowing behind him.

There was only the sound of a startled cry, and Chu Shiyu, riding on his Fiery Lion, ran in the direction of the cry. He stopped at the entrance to a cave, and saw the little fox escape out of the cave.

“Little fox, what did you discover?”

The little fox jumped to her ear and muttered a few words. Then, it jumped onto the ground and slowly walked into the cave.

This cave was wide in all directions, and the stone walls were lit with a lamp made from tree sap. On the ceiling of the cave, there were many decaying wooden coffins.

This was what people called a ‘heavenly burial’. After death, Habitat said that it could ascend to heaven as long as their coffin was placed in a place where it wasn’t tainted by mud or dirt.

However, these coffins seemed to have been opened by someone, and there were even some rotten wood scattered on the ground, the same color as the coffins on top of their heads.

That cry came from inside the cave again, and Chu Shiyu slowly walked into the depths. Not long after, he saw a stone door in a corner that was shorter than a person’s height.

Listening carefully, the alarmed cries came from inside the stone door. She forcefully pushed open the stone door and arrived at a secret passageway that could only hold one person.

There was no light inside, so she relied on the violet light emitting from the little fox to move forward.

The cries grew closer and closer. Only at the end did they see a spacious and bright tomb in front of them.

A man’s figure was crouching in the corner. Master Chu went up to check it out. He grabbed the man’s hair bundle and looked. It was actually …

“Soulshake? Why are you here?”

He raised his head and looked at Chu Shiyu in horror, “My dear sister, save me…”

Chu Shiyu looked at him in disbelief. When he helped him up, his hands and feet were cold and his whole body was trembling.

“What’s wrong with you? Didn’t you follow Long Ao Tian back to the Hunting Palace? Could it be that Long Ao Tian did not care about you? ”

“I was forced to return to the Palace by my big brother with the ice face, so I ran away when he wasn’t paying attention. I didn’t expect that not long after I ran away, I would run into someone who was neither a human nor a ghost and sent me to this damn place. You have to get me out of here, you’re my sister. ”

“Damn, why are you afraid of ghosts as a man?” If you don’t stay at the Palace of Hunting and insist on coming out to stir things up, aren’t you courting your own death? ”

Now she finally knew why Long Ao Tian wanted to capture him back, sooner or later he would finish his own game outside.

Chu Shiyu also did not understand, Long Ao Tian’s martial arts were so good, but this little brother was so lacking that he could not bear to look at them, did he truly suspect that they were brothers?

Soulshake pointed at the coffin in the middle and said shakily, “That …” The skeletons in there move, and in the middle of the night the skeletons in the cave will crawl out of the coffins and scare me to death. “Sis, please take me out, I don’t want to stay in this damn place.”

He hid behind Chu Shiyao as he spoke, looking at the wooden coffin hanging above his head in horror.

“Master Chu pounded his chest with his arm!” You truly have no future, you lost all your face in the Palace of Hunting, no wonder Long Ao Tian wanted to bring you back, he should be afraid of losing face right? ”

Soulshake cleared his throat, raised his voice, and said, “I was lazy, and didn’t practice martial arts seriously. If I had cultivated properly since I was young, would I have ended up like this?”

“It’s useless to say anything now. You look the same as ever. Let’s go out first. We can’t stay here for long. ”

Shocked Soul followed her into the passageway. However, before they could reach the exit, they saw a stone door drop down, blocking the exit with a bang.

Even with the strength of Zhu Shiyu’s palm, he was still unable to break open the stone door. He could only return to his original position and look at the strange wooden coffins.

Since she sealed the exit, then she might as well not let them leave. Then she might as well tear this tomb apart and see if these ghosts could still stop her.

The lamps on the walls were being extinguished one by one, and the entire tomb became dark. A total of eighteen lamps had been extinguished. Master Chu counted a total of eighteen coffins, and it seemed that the bones in the coffin were about to come out.

“Soulshake, did you see that coffin? There are two corpses inside, and one of them has the heaviest grievance amongst all the dead here. Chu Shiyu pointed to a brown coffin and said!

After she heard what he said, she rolled her eyes and lightly patted his chest. He was originally afraid of ghosts, but now she was scaring him like this.

“Don’t scare me like that, how did you know there were two skeletons inside?”

Looking at Chu Shiyu again, a blood spider slowly crawled between her fingers, fishing along a thread until it reached the coffin.

She lifted her charming red lips, seeing the red spider climb into the coffin, suddenly a lot of corpse worms came out from the coffin, following that, all the coffins opened, and white bones slowly rose up from the coffin, attacking towards the two.

He put his hand into his mouth out of fright, opened his eyes wide and hid behind Chu Shiyu.

Chu Shiyu cast a disdainful look at him before leaping off the ground with a sword in his hand, cutting off the heads of each and every one of the corpses.

However, after these skulls fell to the ground, they quickly scuttled back to the white skeleton rack. The scattered bones immediately returned to their original state and continued their attacks.

A pile of white bones came from behind the frightened man. Chu Shiyu turned around and sent the soul flying with a palm strike, avoiding the attacks of the white bones.

“Damn it, since we can’t kill them, let’s do something ruthless.”

Chu Shiyu leapt out of the way, took out his dagger, and slashed a cut on his arm. He dripped his blood onto the spider web, and only then did he see the spider slowly climb up from the stone walls to her omentum, eating the blood she dripped.

The body of the blood spider slowly expanded, several times larger than before. The entire tomb was filled with thick, arm-sized blood spiders. They first pecked their mouths open, spitting out silk webs that bound the white bones.

Only then did he see the bones struggling in the middle of the silk net, unable to move. Chu Shiyu’s face was pale as a sheet. He stroked his arm as he stood up.

Counting the number of bones, there were originally eighteen coffins and another one had nineteen bones.

But if she counted only eighteen white bones, then there would still be one that escaped the control of the blood spider.

Chu Shiyu was greatly alarmed. When he turned around, he saw that the frightened expression on his face was twitching, his four limbs had gone crazy, and his throat was hanging upside down on the stone wall with the hands of the nineteenth white bone.
