Soul-eating Golden Coffin - C35
Just as he entered the entrance, Zhang Shan immediately ran forward. I was still confused, he turned his head and shouted: “What are you waiting for? That coat has your scent, so it can only last for half a minute. If you don’t run now, I’ll see what you do after you finish taking off your clothes! ”
I turned my head to look, the Corpse Supporting Spell was already tearing that jacket, there was no need for half a minute, in at most ten seconds, it would follow me and catch up to me. I didn’t care about anything else as I turned and desperately chased after Zhang Shan.
This passage was very different from the one we had passed before. It wasn’t straight, just a few dozen meters and there would be a 90 degree turn. Zhang Shan didn’t know how to wait for me, he just hung there, around twenty meters away.
Not long after, faint whistling sounds could be heard from behind me. I didn’t dare to look back as I was afraid that I would lose any thoughts of escaping. I could only lower my head and charge forward.
After Zhang Shan disappeared around a corner, a loud “clang” sound came from the front. I was startled and couldn’t help but look back. When I saw that Corpse Supporting Spell was just five meters behind me, it stretched out its hands and limped closely behind me.
After turning around the corner, the path seemed to have reached its end, as a heavy, dark green metal door blocked our way, and “Clang dang” sounds came out as Zhang Shan ferociously kicked the door. His strength was indeed very strong. With such a thick metal door, he could actually kick a huge hole in it with just a few kicks. However, the door was even stronger. He was still in a daze from being kicked like this.
“Is it coming?” Zhang Shan hurriedly asked when he saw me run over. I didn’t have time to pay him any attention. I rested my hands on my knees and gasped for breath. The answer came two seconds later. The Corpse Supporting Spell turned the corner, first smelling it, then slowly approaching us.
Zhang Shan looked at it, and ignored it, turning around to kick the door. Fortunately, with every kick he kicks, the Corpse Supporting Spell will pause for about two seconds, otherwise it would have already charged in front of us.
“F * ck!” “Let’s go all out!” Zhang Shan gave one last kick, stopping his plan to break through the door. He turned around, raised his blade and looked at Zhao Youde’s corpse that was just a few steps away from us. There was no helping it, the door was too thick. Opening it by brute force was extremely difficult.
The Corpse Supporting Spell seemed to have understood our intentions, it suddenly increased its speed and rushed over. In such a small space, it was simply unavoidable.
In this moment of life and death, Zhang Shan used his shoulder to push me away, dodging the claws of the Corpse Supporting Spell, and then used his Mountain Splitting Blade to stab at its stomach. With a crisp metallic sound, the machete broke into pieces, unable to deal any damage to the monster. However, the power of the Corpse Supporting Spell’s advance was not affected in the slightest. It withstood the remaining half of the blade in Zhang Shan’s hand, and joined Zhang Shan. Bang! – The door was smashed.
Zhang Shan was unable to grasp the handle of the blade. Both of his hands loosened as the Corpse Supporting Spell pushed him into his abdomen. With this collision, Zhang Shan was severely injured. First, his back hit the door, then the blade stabbed into his stomach. Although the handle was not sharp, it was still strong enough for him to drink.
“F * * k your grandmother!” Zhang Shan was also ruthless, he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the face of the Corpse Supporting Spell. He raised his leg and kicked again.
“Creak …” The iron door behind Zhang Shan was finally unable to withstand the continuous and fierce collisions, and the already deformed face of the door opened towards the back.
Although Zhang Shan was heavily injured, he had not lost consciousness. Seeing that the Corpse Supporting Spell that was covered in blood had stopped moving, he immediately grabbed onto me, picked up the broken blade on the floor, and entered the metal door in a flash. After entering, Zhang Shan immediately closed the iron door, and the two of us blocked the door to prevent the Corpse Supporting Spell from hitting us again.
After a long while, there was no sound coming from outside the door. I saw that Zhang Shan had kicked a hole in the lower right corner of the door, revealing a hole that was three fingers wide.
A piece of white and dirty thing was just outside the door, not moving at all. I looked up and down, and realized it was the sole of an old cloth shoe. I was even more confused. The sole was facing forward, which meant that the shoe wearer’s legs were parallel to the ground, so he should be lying down.
It was only after Zhang Shan asked that he found out that Zhao Youde was wearing a pair of thick cloth shoes that his wife had taken in when he went into the grave.
Zhang Shan panted for a long time before he finally started to recover. Squatting down and looking around, he confirmed my words. But what I don’t understand is, why would the Corpse Supporting Spell suddenly lie outside the door? When he entered, he was standing there motionlessly. Could it be that he was injured by Zhang Shan in the end?
Zhang Shan did not think that way. From the two times that they had exchanged moves, one could tell that the Corpse Supporting Spell’s power was definitely stronger than his. Although he did not know the reason why he could only sense light and not see clearly, it still had a keen sense of smell and that body that was as hard as steel.
After a while, there was indeed no reaction from outside the door, so Zhang Shan gently opened the door a little and we both looked out. Under the light, he saw Zhao Youde sitting there with his legs stretched out and one hand pointing forward. He looked exactly the same as when he had sat up on the mountain two months ago. But now, this face that was full of corpse bubbles seemed even more terrifying and strange than before.
Zhang Shan’s courage grew as he pulled open the door a little, and moved closer to see what was going on. When I tried to stop him, the guy was already through the door.
Under the illumination of the two mine lamps, I finally managed to look through the Corpse Supporting Spell in detail for the first time. It was still wearing the same clothes that Zhao Youde had worn after his death. His family was poor and couldn’t even afford a decent set of clothes. It was an old man from the village who could not stand to watch any longer. He took out the clothes he had prepared for the funeral and gave them to Zhao Youde’s wife, allowing him to have a little more dignity after he died.
But I remember now that I was wearing a suit and a tweed jacket. But he had long since disappeared, leaving only his tattered white shirt hanging on his body in a scattered fashion.
The exposed skin was an iron-gray color, and the blood vessels beneath the skin were even darker, appearing all the more conspicuous. In some places, the skin had long since been cut open, and the cut had even caused the bones to be exposed.
We were watching the creature, and gradually we heard a tiny sizzling sound coming from its face. On closer look, Zhang Shan saw that the mouthful of phlegm mixed with blood on the corpse’s face was bubbling continuously, and there was even a constant stream of steam coming out from it.
“This little brat, he wants to drink laozi’s blood!” Zhang Shan is really a heartless guy, he’s injured over there, and just happened to say something naughty, which made me think of Liu Yunlong. If we were to put them together, I would definitely be knocked out.
“This is bad!” Just as I was thinking about everything, Zhang Shan suddenly jumped up and jumped into the door.
The moment he closed the door, I saw Corpse Supporting Spell outside the door, trembling non-stop.
“Quick!” “Find something and knock on the door!” Zhang Shan leaned on the door and shouted at me.
I looked around in panic and realised that the place behind the door was not normal in size. The mine light couldn’t reach the boundary. Moreover, there were many large boxes placed everywhere in the dark. As it happened, there was a huge wooden box about three meters long and one and a half meters tall right next to me. I hurried over and pushed it towards the door.
After half a day of struggling, I just managed to push the box to the door, but Zhang Shan could not care less and grabbed the other side of the box, dragging me to the door.
“Bang!” As soon as he let go, the door was slammed open. If not for this box, the door would have been smashed open already.
Zhang Shan took this opportunity to pull the other big box beside him over, and hid it behind this box.
“Bang!” Another time, some of the planks of the chest had been broken. Zhang Shan and I hurriedly pulled two more boxes over. Originally, we planned to piled them up, but it was too heavy and too big for us to do anything else other than line up and block them up at the back.
“Bang!” This time, the whole door was completely smashed, and the top panel of the door had broken free of the frame and was sticking out from behind. As the wooden box was only 1.5 meters tall, it could only block the lower half of the steel door.
Zhang Shan and I looked at the tattered iron gate, helpless. Looking at the situation, as long as the Corpse Supporting Spell comes from the outside, we could probably surrender.
Outside the door, he fell into deep thought once again. He did not know how long he had endured, but Zhang Shan swallowed his saliva, climbed onto the box, and slowly approached the metal door.
“He left …” Zhang Shan lied on his stomach and looked at the crack in the door for a long time before he turned his head to me and said, “Quick! He would first find something to block off the top before anything else! Ai? “What is this?” After saying that, Zhang Shan took out something from the first wooden chest behind the door.
When I looked closer, I saw that it was a military jacket wrapped in a plastic bag. The interior had been drained of air, presumably to prevent damp or dirt.
It was then that we finally had time to observe the space behind the door, only a few dozen meters around us. There were more than a hundred boxes of this size, three in a row, arranged in perfect order. A little further away, there are also some smaller sized boxes. I even saw a row of gas barrels in the depths. This is actually a huge underground storage warehouse!
Just as I was looking around randomly, a “pa” sound came from behind me and the entire space suddenly lit up. It turned out that on the wall beside the metal door, there was a switch, which Zhang Shan pushed up.
When I looked again, I couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. What a big place! There was a warehouse about the size of two football fields underground. It was filled with boxes of varying sizes. Although he did not know what they were, he could tell from the military jacket that they were just basic daily necessities and war preparations.
“Oh my god! This time, we’re rich! ” Zhang Shan found a few iron pipes that were as thick as a person’s wrist from somewhere and pushed them against the iron gate. After barely strengthening them, he walked to my side and sighed.
“Stop dreaming, these are all from the country, it’s not like we found the treasure, why don’t we move it out and catch you?” As I spoke, I walked over to a small wooden box.
As this underground storage area is extremely well hidden, there isn’t a lock on any of the boxes. The top cover is just placed on top of it. I flipped it open. In this smaller box, surrounded by something made of plastic, it should be moisture-proof. In the middle were actually pairs of release shoes. Zhang Shan then opened a few boxes one after another. Other than the cotton-padded jacket, there were only shoes and gloves.
