Chapter 588 Xingtian
Eagle Eyes said with a strange expression, "Brother Qin An... how can we prevent this from happening? It doesn't even have a head! We can't just tear it to pieces, can we?"
Gu Yang chimed in, "We still have two grenades! We can throw them into the bronze coffin and then close the lid! The only problem is that the grenades might be too powerful and collapse the altar."
Hear this.
Qin An shook his head and said, "No rush... Let's see if there's anything the two academicians want to see in this bronze coffin first! If all else fails, I can just cremate Xing Tian with fire."
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly remembered.
Brother Qin'an's knife can catch fire!
Although I don't know the exact principle behind it... it's more than enough to burn a corpse.
So the archaeological team took a small step back.
The spot near the bronze coffin was reserved for two senior academicians, Shao Wei and Zhang Yunfeng, who specialize in ancient history. If they could find something in the bronze coffin to learn about the true history of ancient times, then the trip would not have been in vain.
So Shao Wei and Zhang Yunfeng had to endure the stench.
He bent down and began searching inside the bronze coffin.
The rest of the archaeological team left the bronze coffin because Xing Tian's body smelled too bad and the novelty had worn off. They went to the altar to look at the stone statue of Pangu, the ancestor who created the world.
“Old Zhang… I feel a chill down my spine about the corpse of the God of War, Xing Tian. It’s like a human experiment conducted by a modern evil scientist.” Shao Wei hesitated, not daring to reach into Xing Tian’s clothes at all.
Zhang Yunfeng, on the other hand, seemed more indifferent.
Wearing rubber gloves, he reached directly under the corpse. "It did feel like that, like later generations saw the appearance of the God of War Xing Tian in a book, and then killed someone to make a Xing Tian with the same appearance."
Hear this.
Shao Wei exclaimed as if he had found a kindred spirit, "Yes, yes, that's exactly how I feel!"
And just then.
Zhang Yunfeng's expression changed as well. He exclaimed "Huh?" and then pulled out a waist tag from the back of the corpse. The waist tag had a golden eye on it.
"This is......?"
Seeing that Zhang Yunfeng was holding something, Qin An also looked over.
"This looks like a Wu Clan waist token? And it's even an Ancestral Wu waist token!" Zhang Yunfeng's expression changed.
A ancestral witch's waist token?
When Qin An heard this term, he was about to refute that it wasn't a Witch Clan waist token, because he had indeed obtained one, and it didn't look like this. However, upon hearing the term "Ancestral Witch Waist Token," even Qin An's expression changed.
Ancestral Witches!
In ancient mythology.
After Pangu separated heaven and earth and was reborn, his primordial spirit transformed into the Three Pure Ones, and his body and bloodline transformed into the Twelve Ancestral Witches. In ancient mythology, the abilities and status of the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestral Witches were completely different.
There are only 12 ancestral witch waist tokens.
But why would a ancestral witch's waist token appear in the coffin of the God of War, Xing Tian?
Think of this.
Qin An looked back at the Pangu stone statue behind him.
A bold idea popped into his mind: Could it be that Chi You, or Chi You's followers, wanted to use the unusual phenomenon of the Ancestral Witch's waist token and the Pangu stone statue guarding the coffin to forcibly stain Xing Tian's corpse with Pangu's bloodline?
Although this idea is somewhat absurd.
However, Qin An felt that given the level of superstition in ancient times, they might actually be able to pull it off!
"Professor Zhang, could you show me the Ancestral Witch's waist token?"
"okay!"
Qin An took the Ancestral Witch waist token from Zhang Yunfeng and examined it closely, actually using his reconnaissance eye to target the token.
【Category: Ancestral Witch Waist Token】
[Introduction: The Ancestral Witch Waist Token isn't as mystical as it's portrayed in ancient myths... but it seems to be a key to some kind of door? Make sure to keep it safe, otherwise the tomb owner won't open the door for you. Also, deep within the tomb, an old being awakens and recognizes the token but not the person; you'd better carry it with you at all times.]
[Value: 5000 science popularization points]
Another key?
And it's worth 5000 science popularization points!
Unexpectedly, there was an additional benefit.
"Brother Qin An, how is it? Have you figured anything out?" Shao Wei interrupted Qin An's thoughts.
Qin An shook his head and said, "I don't feel there's anything special about it, but I'll keep it anyway! Maybe that door will need this Ancestral Witch's waist token as a key."
Shao Wei and Zhang Yunfeng exchanged a glance.
Think about it too.
So he didn't ask for the Ancestral Witch's waist token back, but continued to rummage around inside the bronze coffin.
At this time.
Qin An noticed that Shao Wei was just loafing around, while only Zhang Yunfeng was diligently searching. This wouldn't do.
So Qin An decisively summoned Jiang Liuli.
"The two elderly academicians braved the stench of the corpse and diligently searched through the bronze coffin for items. Their actions are truly moving. We hope that viewers in the live stream will remember their dedication," Qin An said to the live stream phone.
Jiang Liuli didn't forget to take a closer look with her phone.
I specifically filmed the two elderly academicians' frost-covered hands as they kept searching!
Now Shao Wei dared not slack off anymore and could only obediently start looking for things.
That's more like it!
Is Old Deng still trying to coast?
Be a good frog and find me treasures!
"Jiejiejie——"
Shao Wei and Zhang Yunfeng were searching inside the bronze coffin, and their fingers inevitably touched each other. The military flashlights above their heads even slipped off due to the collision.
For a while.
The inside of the bronze coffin was pitch black.
"Old Zhang, why are you grabbing my wrist? And so tightly?" Shao Wei said irritably, "We've been friends for decades, you're not gay, are you? If so, let's go outside and talk, Jiang Liuli is still live-streaming over there."
"Who grabbed your hand? And I'm not gay! I'd like to ask if it was you who grabbed my hand?" Zhang Yunfeng said with a sullen face.
Both of them still had one hand left ungrabbed.
So they quickly straightened and put on the military flashlights on their heads, but when they looked into the bronze coffin again, they saw that both their hands and the other's hands were being grabbed by a thick, dark hand.
Follow the arm of that hand upwards.
It was Xing Tian's hand!
"Ah... Brother Qin An..."
Shao Weigang wanted to call out to Qin An, who was looking at the Pangu stone statue with the others, but Zhang Yunfeng raised his hand and covered his mouth.
"What if shouting so loudly wakes up the zombie?" Zhang Yunfeng said, sweating profusely. Then he turned to Qin An's back and whispered, "Brother Qin An! He's come back to life!"
Not loud.
But everyone heard it.
For a while.
The altar fell completely silent.
With a solemn expression, Qin An drew his black gold ancient sword and returned to the bronze coffin. Looking down inside, he was shocked to find Xing Tian's hands gripping the wrists of two elderly academicians.
