Chapter 714: Chapter 434: Talismans and Rifles! All Evils Repelled! Nothing is Forbidden!

Two hours later.

The gold, silver jewels, and exquisite ceramics piled up like mountains around the tomb chamber have been completely cleared, all transported through rope ladders to the ground outside the cave entrance.

The entire chamber now appeared much more spacious and also more eerie, with only the central platform’s dark black main coffin, nine Blood Coffins, and the peripheral hundreds of ink coffins left densely packed.

Like a silent group of tombstones, they still stood in place, exuding an unsettling aura.

At this point, the personnel inside the tomb chamber had been greatly reduced.

The two hundred soldiers responsible for transporting the treasures had retreated to the ground to stand guard and watch over them, leaving only the three hundred most elite soldiers in the depths of the tomb chamber, along with the core figures—Feng Shui Master and Deputy Mo.

Everyone’s gaze was solemnly fixed on the array of coffins.

People die for money, birds die for food!

Looking at the emptied corners of the tomb chamber, this thought involuntarily surfaced in the minds of many soldiers.

The treasures buried around the tomb are so astonishing, what unimaginable priceless treasure could be hidden in the main coffin where the tomb owner lies closely?

Almost all greedy eyes began, uncontrollably, to focus on that gigantic dark black main coffin in the center.

The previous fear of the coffins now seemed insignificant in the face of overwhelming temptation.

Deputy Mo took a deep breath, deciding to take the initiative to probe, his eyes swept over the nearest black coffin and casually pointed to six soldiers.

"You, and you four, get over there and pry open that coffin for me!"

The six soldiers who were pointed out instantly turned pale, their lips quivering, their feet seemed rooted: "Mo, Mo Deputy... we... this..."

"Hmm?" Deputy Mo glared, deliberately raising his voice so that all soldiers with lingering fear could hear, "Afraid of what? Cowardly weaklings! Have you forgotten the miraculous arrows just now?

Didn’t I give each of you several Exorcism Talismans bestowed by the great commander?"

He patted the bulging spot on his chest, his voice carrying a near-superstitious fervor and assurance: "With the great commander’s Exorcism Talisman here, nothing is forbidden! What demon dares to act brazenly? Hurry up and go!"

These words were like a strong reinforcement for the three hundred soldiers.

Thinking of the divine talisman blocking the arrows previously, the six exchanged looks, gritted their teeth, and finally summoned the courage, gripping their pry bars and entrenching tools, cautiously moving towards the pitch-black coffin.

"Boom—!"

A heavy, thunderous sound echoed in the tomb chamber, the lid of the black coffin pried open with combined force, heavily falling to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Almost at the same instant the coffin lid was lifted—

"Whoosh!"

A dense ink-like, foul-smelling black smoke suddenly gushed out from the coffin, like a venomous snake, directly lunging at the six soldiers closest to it!

The change happened too swiftly, the six couldn’t react, just watched helplessly as the deadly smoke rushed toward them, their eyes instantly filled with despair.

However!

Just as the smoke was about to touch their skin, the series of Exorcism Talismans in their arms, and those pasted on their bodies simultaneously erupted!

A weak yet resilient crimson glow enveloped the six entirely like an eggshell!

The corrosive black smoke collided with the red light, surprisingly making a sizzling sound, like snow encountering sunlight, quickly dispelled and purified, unable to invade even slightly!

The six soldiers stood in place, shocked and panting heavily.

Looking at the scorched mark left on the ground after the talisman light purified it, their backs were quickly drenched in cold sweat.

Once again, the great commander’s Divine Talisman saved their lives!

After calming down somewhat, the six soldiers instinctively glanced inside the coffin.

Just that one glance made their hearts, which had just somewhat settled, almost jump out of their throats!

"Ghost!"

As if seeing the most terrifying thing in the world, the six shouted sharply in unison, disregarding any military orders, scrambling back to Deputy Mo’s side, huddled together, trembling like leaves in the wind.

At this moment, the sprayed black smoke also completely dispersed.

The closest Deputy Mo and Feng Shui Master, under the firelight, clearly saw the scene inside the coffin.

Lying inside wasn’t the expected military general’s corpse but a white-haired old man dressed in a worn yellow Taoist robe!

His eyes wide open, lively, even his mouth corners strangely raised, bearing a creepy smile, baring his teeth, as if seeing something extremely exciting before dying.

The strangest part was, his body presented a mummified state, the skin tightly sticking to the bones, wrinkled like old tree bark.

Even after over two hundred years, this corpse not only hadn’t decayed to Bai Gu but appeared lifelike, the face as clear as if he had just died yesterday!

"Such heavy evil spirit! This old Taoist doesn’t decay, has turned into a demon!"

Seeing this, Feng Shui Master turned pale, his voice changed tone.

He completely forgot about maintaining his image, almost crawling backward and hastily pulled out five or six crimson Exorcism Talismans from his arms and sleeves.

Without caring if they would work, he wildly slapped them on his chest, back, and even forehead, wishing he could turn himself into a talisman man!

Deputy Mo and the surrounding three hundred soldiers were frightened out of their wits by his extreme reaction, unable to think straight—

"Quick! Quickly stick talismans!"

"Take out all the talismans!"

"Stick them on! Stick them all!"

In an instant, the tomb chamber played out an incredibly absurd yet extremely tense scene.
