Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 2503: Hanging Coffin from an Ancient Tree

Lin Ran stood there, he did not expect to get such a reply.

Originally, he was still undecided because the lives of his team members were in his hands.

Unexpectedly, his teammates trusted him as much as he trusted the team.

Not only was Lin Ran infected by this emotion, but even Guan Yun felt the deep bond between them.

"Okay." Lin Ran smiled.

He decided that no matter what happened in the end, he would open the coffin.

"Xu Ning, come and help me. Let's open the coffin." Lin Ran's tone became firm. There was no better response than being trusted.

Xu Ning said softly "Yeah" and came to the coffin.

Lin Ran turned around and looked around the cave.

There are uneven stone walls on all sides, whether caused by carrion insects or naturally formed, the stone walls are full of holes.

At present, no other access has been found except for the altar.

Therefore, Lin Ran decided to open the coffin. Rather than waiting for death here, it would be better to risk opening the coffin. There might be other ways.

Xu Ning nodded and walked towards the coffin.

Lin Ran took a few steps back and raised his head.

You can't see the top at all when you stand below. The previous platform was already very close to the top.

In the entire tomb, the only thing connected to the outside world is the crack above the head, through which the bright moonlight shines into the cave.

The platform is far away from the crack, so there is no way to reach the top and leave the cave.

And if this tree tower can reach the top, there may be a way to climb out from the top of the cave entrance and reach the outside of the cave.

Perhaps that is the real exit!

Lin Ran had this idea in his mind, and he was an activist.

If you want to find a way to climb up to this height, it is estimated that only Xu Ning can climb it with bare hands, not to mention that there are carrion insects on it.

Lin Ran's eyes were fixed on the snake cypress in front of him.

There are tree roots and vines all over the ground. Maybe there are vines covering the entrance of the cave at the top, and you can climb up along the vines.

The only trouble now is that the snake cypress is a creature between animals and plants, especially vines. Just like poisonous snakes, they will attack living creatures that are close to them.

Climbing up by force may not necessarily lead to climbing out, and it may even cause backlash and become a meal for snakes and cypresses.

At present, due to the appearance of the bronze coffin, the snake cypress seems to have lost its vitality. At least since they walked from the altar, they have not been attacked by the snake vines.

Lin Ran also noticed that although there was the Qingqiu Demon Fox on the platform just now, the snake cypress did not dare to approach at all, so they were absolutely safe on the platform just now, but he didn't know whether it was the deterrence of the Qingqiu Demon Fox or something else. Reason.

If they had come down before, they would have been attacked by snake vines.

Xu Ning had stopped in front of the bronze coffin, and Lin Ran also withdrew his attention and carefully looked at the huge coffin in front of him.

The coffin is huge, with a length of three meters according to visual inspection. The surface of the coffin is densely covered with inscriptions.

Lin Ran frowned. The inscription on it seemed to be familiar words.

He was about to take a look at what was written on the inscription, but after taking a step closer.

Suddenly, a heavy "dong" sound came from the coffin, which seemed very dull.

Lin Ran was frightened by the sudden sound and took two steps back.

Xu Ning pulled out the short knife and stared at the coffin warily.

Not only was there a muffled sound coming from the coffin, it was also shaking constantly.

"It seems like the things inside don't want us to see." This thought flashed through Lin Ran's mind.

The coffin would pop up before, so it was probably not the tomb owner’s design.

The owner of the tomb does not want to appear in front of everyone, let alone in the form of a coffin.

The muffled sound inside was probably his last act of resistance.

In fact, they had already guessed that there was something wrong in the coffin, but when it actually happened, everyone was still frightened and gasped.

However, Lin Ran calmed down instead.

The owner of the tomb was eager to scare them away, but he must have been helpless with them.

Lin Ran plucked up the courage, approached the coffin, and put his ear to it.

I want to hear what's inside.

Putting your ear against the coffin lid, the more you listened, the more you felt something was wrong.

Because, he heard the rhythmic sound inside.

Breathing?

Beads of sweat rolled down Lin Ran's forehead.

Could it be possible that the things in the coffin are still alive?

Because this rhythmic sound sounded like someone breathing.

Lin Ran stood up straight with a solemn expression and told everyone what he had just heard.

Everyone was surprised.

Is there a living person hidden in the coffin?

impossible.

Lin Ran looked at the surface of the coffin and saw that there was no air circulation at all.

If there were any living creatures inside, they would have been suffocated to death.

"There can be no living creatures." Lin Ran asserted.

This also means that the thing inside the coffin is definitely not a normal creature.

Others didn't understand either, but they agreed with Lin Ran's point of view and nodded.

Looking at the inscriptions above, they are all incomprehensible words.

I wanted to tip the coffin down, but it was tied with iron chains and couldn't pick it up and tip it down. I had to find a way to open the lid of the coffin first.

The coffin is only the outermost layer, there is a coffin inside, and there may be more than one layer.

I checked the sealing degree and found it to be quite tight.

It's definitely not possible to use a shovel. If you want to open the coffin, you must first remove the outermost adhesive layer.

It's a pity that they just threw away all the torches, and now they can only use lighters to slowly bake.

After baking the dagger black, Xu Ning inserted the dagger into the gap.

There was a sizzling sound instantly.

The fire paint at the joint gradually falls off under the stimulation of high temperature and sharp objects.

Finally a relatively large gap was exposed, and now the crowbar can be stuck in.

In the past, it would be easy for Xu Ning and Wang Jinpeng to operate together. Now that he is alone, he can operate more carefully.

After inserting the crowbar, Xu Ning tried to use the lever principle to lift the coffin lid.

As a result, his strength alone was simply not enough. Lin Ran was observing the coffin again, always on guard against abnormalities inside.

In the end, Guan Yun came over to help.

The two strong men used their strength together to pry up.

There was a loud click.

The coffin lid finally came loose.

The edge of the coffin lid was raised. Although it was restrained by iron chains, it was possible to push it.

But it was only able to push it down, and the two of them couldn't lift it up at all.

This bronze coffin lid weighs at least a thousand kilograms.

Such a grand gesture, no wonder the whole cave seemed to be shaking when the coffin appeared just now.

The coffin lid is not only heavy, but also quite thick.

So that two people couldn't operate it, so they had to call Liu Jingfeng and Huang Hao to help.

With the combined efforts of the four of them, the bronze coffin lid was finally removed.
