At first, Jiang Yixue just felt that the wall was very strange. The stone felt bitingly cold and more like a stone tablet.
I looked at it carefully for a while, and touched it from the top to the bottom. The top was wider, the bottom was narrower, and the edge had a clear curvature of a cage.
It was like a flash of lightning passing through her mind, and suddenly she realized that this was not a stone tablet, but a sarcophagus.
No matter how strong Jiang Yixiu was, even though she was a peak Xuan-level ancient warrior, she was still a girl after all. When she encountered this kind of sarcophagus, she still felt a little shabby and even a little scared.
The sarcophagus stood upright on the ground with the lid tightly closed. It was unknown whether there was a body inside.
She subconsciously moved away from the sarcophagus and walked to the side. Unexpectedly, after walking about ten steps, she bumped into a cold wall again. When she touched it, she found it was still a sarcophagus standing upright on the ground.
When I touched the stone, I felt a cool breeze flowing straight into my heart from the palm of my hand.
Could this be a cemetery? Why are there two sarcophagi standing upright on the ground
I changed direction and continued to move forward, this time mentally prepared. Not long after I went, a tall sarcophagus appeared in front of me.
This must be a cemetery.
I have to get out of this place quickly.
Jiang Yixue couldn't help but feel nervous and embarrassed. She quickened her pace, but the sand under her feet became soft and she fell into a sarcophagus.
The previous sarcophagi were as solid as walls and could not be pushed down. Who would have thought that this sarcophagus was so fragile.
When the sarcophagus fell to the ground, the lid was knocked off, and a mummy tightly wrapped in yellow and black cloth rolled out from inside.
Under the dim light of the jade pendant, one could see that the mummy only had a pair of skull-like, dark eyes, and its entire body had long been dried up.
Seeing the mummy suddenly rolling from the sarcophagus to her feet, Jiang Yixiu screamed and ran away. Her screams sounded like a series of echoes in an empty valley.
It was pitch black all around and Jiang Yixue had no idea which way to escape. Where was this place? The ground was covered with sand and stone coffins standing upright.
There was no way she could wear high heels in the sand, so she had to run barefoot. She was like a frightened deer.
There was a crisp sound of a switch above my head, and lights flashed before my eyes. The whole world suddenly turned from night to day, filled with dazzling light.
There are many sets of high-intensity laser lights above your head, projecting directly down.
With the light, Jiang Yixue became even more uneasy.
There were sarcophagi neatly arranged around her, and she couldn't even see the end. She didn't expect that this was a wide underground cemetery. Where she just passed, there was a statue of Anubis.
A black mist floated around them, and the third elder walked out of it. He grinned, "Beauty, I told you not to run around, but you didn't listen. Do you know that you have disturbed these undead spirits? They will be angry."
Jiang Yixue backed away. She would rather be closer to the cold sarcophagus than be so close to the Third Elder.
The third elder's thin figure was stretched out by the light above his head. He walked leisurely among the numerous sarcophagi and bowed deeply to the statue of Anubis in front of him, like a devout believer.
He walked over to the mummy that had rolled out, squatted down and observed it.
"This is a place forgotten by the God of Death. They were once the pioneers of the ancient empire and the creators of the world. Now, over the long river of time, they have been neglected and sealed in a sarcophagus, like a piece of stone without any vitality."
"They just wanted to sleep here, forever, but you disturbed them."
"They will be angry and will punish you."
The Third Elder's voice made Jiang Yixiu shudder. She felt that the farther away from him, the safer she would be. However, in this vast forest of sarcophagi, she had no idea where to find a way out.
Looking at the sarcophagi standing before her, Jiang Yixue almost fell into despair.
A rustling sound was heard, and the sand underfoot seemed to be blown by the wind, surging like waves.
Oh no, there is something in the sand. Jiang Yixue quickly ran to the side. From where she had just stood, a skeletal hand suddenly stretched out. The white finger bones were as sharp as knives and stretched straight to the sky, as if begging the heaven for the sins it had committed.
A skeleton crawled out from the sea of sand, and its empty eye sockets adjusted the angle and looked at Jiang Yixue.
Jiang Yixue had never seen such a scene before. She felt as if her soul was about to leave her body. She felt a twitching in her stomach and felt scared and nauseous.
The skeleton suddenly rushed towards Jiang Yixue, its jaw opening and closing continuously, as if it was grinning.
This was not the most terrifying thing for Jiang Yixiu. What made her almost crazy was that there were at least a dozen sarcophagi around her, and their lids all made a slight creaking sound at the same time, and a crack appeared on each of them.
Then, the lids of the sarcophagi were suddenly pushed open, and the mummies inside walked out, staring at Jiang Yixue coldly. They seemed to have a deep hatred for her and rushed towards her from all directions.
Jiang Yixue felt that she was surrounded. At this moment, she regretted not having Ye Feng's flying sword, and also regretted not having Jiang Yuxin's Star Wand.
She prayed silently, God, please help me, I am really going to die.
The gods cannot help her, only she can save herself.
She clenched her fists, and her internal strength quickly circulated throughout her body. With one punch, she smashed the first skeleton that rushed over to her into pieces. The skull flew high into the air and fell at the feet of the third elder.
Jiang Yixue looked at her fist and smiled with a little surprise. I am quite strong. I am not so vulnerable.
She was usually too busy at work, dealing with all the trivial matters in the company, and had no time to practice martial arts. The Tianluo Fist, Luoyanbu, and Yanyu Swordsmanship that Ye Feng had taught her were all buried deep in her memory.
Facing danger greatly stimulated the nerves throughout her body and made her recall these skills again.
With a few moves of Tianluo Fist, three ferocious mummies were knocked to the ground. The fist of a Xuan-level ancient warrior could break monuments and split rocks. Of course, these mummies could not withstand the blow.
But my fist hit the dried corpse, and my tender little hand felt a little painful. I really wish I had a weapon.
Jiang Yixue stepped on something. It was the thigh bone of the skeleton that had been knocked away just now. It was thick and strong, and of moderate weight. It was just right to use as a weapon if she picked it up.
"You guys who are despised by even the god of death, come here if you dare, and let me deal with you properly."
At this moment, Jiang Yixue no longer looked like the noble president she usually was. Her torn skirt was wrapped around her waist, her feet were bare, she was holding a thigh bone in her hand, her hair was disheveled, and she looked ferocious, like a violent madman.
