Chapter 329 - Dark Vein Iron
"Alright, I believe all of you!"
Guo Ran’s reply finally made Zhao Mingshan and that evil path Chosen heave a sigh of relief. The two of them simultaneously shot a look at the person behind them.
The two understood immediately. They knew that he wanted them to kill this hateful brat as soon as they passed through the tunnel.
swish swish *
The two figures, one in front and one behind, sped forward. Both of them were powerful Favored, and their speed was incomparable. In an instant, they arrived at the center of the tunnel.
"Tai! "Evildoer, you dare to violate my righteous path? Die!"
Suddenly, Guo Ran’s righteous voice was heard. Suddenly, a bunch of steel balls were thrown towards the tunnel from all directions.
"No …."
For a moment, both of them were in despair. The steel balls crashed into the stone wall and countless steel hands reached out. This was the hammer formation that Long Chen had experienced at that time.
"Puff, puff …"
Although the two of them did their best to resist, that massive warhammer was simply too dense. It was like splashing water, and the two powerful Favored were smashed into mincemeat.
After the two died, the Innate Dao patterns on their bodies rose up and entered the stone wall. They actually went through the stone wall and disappeared without a trace.
For a moment, everyone was stupefied as they stared dumbfoundedly at the tunnel. The meat mashed to the point where even the bones had been smashed, dying in an extremely miserable manner.
“You Guo fella, you’re courting death!”
The evil path Chosen could not hold it in any longer and let out a roar. He almost could not hold himself back and rushed into the passageway.
"Why am I courting death? You guys should be more serious when you send in people, what do you mean by ‘bad’ or ‘bad’ or ‘bad’ or ‘bad’ dates?
That evil disciple, he looks like a zombie that was blown up in a tomb, he’s too scary, I couldn’t help but make my move, I’m really sorry, you guys can change your faces, but I’m an extremely timid person! " Guo Ran felt wronged as he spoke.
Zhao Mingshan and the evil side’s supreme expert both understood that Guo Ran had no intentions to cooperate from the start. He had been pretending all along, and his anger made their faces turn purple.
"You dare to play with us?" That evil way Chosen roared, causing the entire ancient tomb to buzz.
“Hey hey hey, don’t unjustly accuse good people. I’m not messing around with you guys, I’m just playing with you guys, aren’t I? I’ve got nothing better to do now?” Guo Ran laughed loudly.
Regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, they were all gnashing their teeth in hatred. They had so many experts, but they were actually played around by a little brat.
"Could it be… "Is Long Chen still alive?"
Hearing Guo Ran’s laughter made everyone think of a possibility. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense for Guo Ran to be laughing so happily.
"Phew!"
The originally bright tunnel instantly darkened and everything returned to normal. This was because the illumination stone had been sucked into Long Chen’s hand with his soul force.
After advancing to the Altering Muscle stage, Long Chen’s soul force once again soared. Even Long Chen himself didn’t know what level his soul force had reached.
In any case, it was an easy task to acquire a stone from several dozen zhang away.
“Boss, you recovered?” Guo Ran couldn’t help but rejoice when he saw Long Chen’s actions.
“En, luckily I’m not injured. Otherwise, it would have taken up a lot of my time.” Long Chen nodded.
Ignoring the scolding of the people outside, Long Chen raised the illumination stone in his hand and saw that they were standing in a large stone room.
It was a square room with sixteen stone pillars. The room was very simple and crude. In the center of the room was a fifty meter long coffin.
"Looks like the treasure is this coffin!" Long Chen said.
"A normal person’s coffin would definitely not be this big. It should be filled with things, but you have to be mentally prepared.
This ancient tomb had existed for too long. Even if there was some treasure, it would have already lost its effectiveness!
Guo Ran, on the other hand, was rather carefree as he said, “I was lucky. My life was lost and I’ve long seen through it. I just don’t know how to open this coffin.”
“There should be a mechanism, right? You should take your time to take a look. There are a few murals there, I’ll go take a look first!”
Long Chen discovered that there were four huge murals engraved on the wall, and they were even more complete than those on the outside. This immediately attracted Long Chen’s attention.
Each painting depicted a different scene. They were all scenes of the human life, extremely peaceful and filled with vitality.
"Could it be that the people of the ancient times are all so peaceful?" To help each other, to not fight for it, to not kill each other? "
As Long Chen looked at these stone inscriptions, he couldn’t help but yearn for them. Within these stone inscriptions, there were scenes of people working together, people fighting against beasts, children running around and celebrating.
However, there were no images of war or slaughter. The entire necropolis was suddenly filled with an auspicious aura.
This made people very puzzled. Could it be that when people died, it was a very joyful thing to be happy about? To draw such a picture to celebrate?
Since it was so peaceful, why did they have to design such a powerful mechanism at the door?
Long Chen was momentarily at a loss. However, to Long Chen, these scenes were meaningless. However, the background of the four paintings had deeply attracted Long Chen.
The contents of the four paintings were different, but their backgrounds were all the same. In the sky, there were nine small stars revolving around a giant star, illuminating the entire world.
It didn’t look like the sun nor the moon, so it should look very strange. However, that scene was very harmonious, causing one to feel a sense of warmth.
This was especially the case when Long Chen looked at the nine star. He felt a strange sense of familiarity and sadness.
"Boss, come take a look!" Guo Ran suddenly cried out.
"What is it? Have you found a way to open the sarcophagus? " Long Chen retracted his thoughts.
“No, but I’ve made some important discoveries. Look, boss!” Guo Ran suddenly had a brick in his hand.
The brick was one foot two inches long and completely black. It looked unremarkable, but there were complicated patterns on its body. It looked like ice, and its weight was extremely shocking.
It was icy cold to the touch and hard to the touch. Long Chen squeezed it hard, but not only did it not shatter, it even hurt his fingers. He couldn’t help but be shocked.
"Hehe, boss, we’re rich. This is made from the Frost Black Iron, and its purity is extremely high.
“Even senior Cang Ming didn’t have that kind of material in our courtyard, but look here, it’s all over the floor!” Guo Ran said with excitement.
"It is indeed a good item, but compared to the treasures in the coffin, that is the most important thing!" Long Chen said.
The coffin is a bit strange, and there are no cracks on its surface. Even now, I still can’t figure out where the lid of the coffin is. I even thought that this coffin was fake and was just a stone that was polished to look like a coffin! Guo Ran said, a little vexed.
No matter what, Guo Ran had always bragged about himself as a craftsman. However, when he looked at this huge coffin, he could not find the lid. He even thought that this was a scam.
“Fine then. Let’s collect the bricks first. If we can’t open the coffin, then we can just use the bricks. It’s worth it to come here!”
After they finished talking, the two of them began to collect the bricks on the ground. When all the bricks on the ground were collected, their spatial rings were filled to the brim.
Guo Ran looked at the pile of bricks in his spatial ring and couldn’t help but dance in excitement, "Hehe, with these materials, I can use them to make my equipment in the future.
However, if you want to create this kind of material, you’ll have to use the forging platform of the old man Cang Xuan. It’s just that the old man once said that the forging platform of a blacksmith is his wife, and it requires a thousand times more love. I think that Senior Cang Xuan would definitely not lend me his wife. "
Guo Ran had a helpless look on his face as he finished speaking. If a Forge Master didn’t have a good Forging Platform, then he was just like a chef. He didn’t have any rice, oil, or salt, but he was forced to cook delicious food.
However, a single Forging Platform required a huge amount of resources, and Guo Ran had spent a large amount of points just to forge the stage.
If not for Long Chen’s support, even if he had the benefits of a Core Disciple, he would have gone bankrupt.
Just the spirit stones spent on the smelting materials were enough to cause one to vomit blood. If the formation wasn’t strong enough, it wouldn’t be able to produce fierce flames. A material like the Frost Black Tattooed Iron couldn’t even be used to forge a weapon.
“Don’t be discouraged. There will always be a way!” Long Chen comforted.
To put it bluntly, the profession of blacksmith was a very lucrative profession. Long Chen’s pill refiner, on the other hand, was the most profitable profession. It seemed like this kid was born to get rid of him.
Looking around, Long Chen realized that there was nothing of value left. Their gazes once again landed on the coffin.
Just as Guo Ran had said, the coffin was tightly sewn together as if it was one.
"Boom!"
When Long Chen’s fist smashed into the coffin, there was a loud bang. The coffin didn’t shake at all, but Long Chen’s fist was actually hurting.
"So hard, so heavy!"
Long Chen was shocked. This fifty-foot long huge coffin was nearly 10 feet tall and was extremely huge. Its weight was likely going to exceed their imaginations.
Such a terrifying object couldn’t be stored in a spatial ring. Generally, things that could be stored in a spatial ring could only be stored if the owner could move it.
Long Chen took out a brick and smashed it onto the corner of the coffin.
boom boom boom boom *
Long Chen did not dare to use his own beheading evil, as that would cause serious damage to Zhan Xie. Unfortunately, he didn’t have a heavy weapon like the hammers, so he could only use his brick.
After advancing to the Altering Muscle stage, Long Chen’s strength was unimaginable. Every time a brick smashed into a coffin, the entire tomb would constantly shake.
“I get it. This coffin isn’t overturned, it’s slippery!”
After a few consecutive blows, Long Chen discovered that the top of the coffin had moved forward about an inch and seen a part of the mechanism.
“Good heavens! Come on boss!” “We’ll see the treasure inside soon!” Guo Ran said with excitement.
Just as Long Chen was about to use the brick to break open the coffin, his expression suddenly changed. He looked towards the exit and suddenly, several figures came rushing out
