Chapter 424: Female Corpse in the Ancient Tomb (Subscription Request)

Gao Fei put Wu Xiaoqian, who was still unconscious, down from his back and handed her to Jiang Feng to take care of.

"I'll investigate first to confirm that there are no traps, and then we'll open this stone door."

Gao Fei switched to the "thief mask" and carefully searched the area near the door of the tomb. Sure enough, he found a hair-thin iron wire in the crack of the door.

"Damn Hong Debiao, he really buried a landmine! If we open the door directly, we will pull the fuse and detonate the landmine!"

Gao Fei waved his hand to signal his companions to step back, and used a small flat-mouthed scissors to probe the crack of the door and carefully cut the iron wire.

After eliminating a trap, Gao Fei was still not at ease, and then used the star disk to investigate the tomb behind the stone door.

The concentration of Yin Qi (negative energy) in the tomb was extremely high, which hindered the effect of the investigation, and he could only confirm that there were no living people inside.

Gao Fei put away the star disk and was about to open the stone door. Suddenly, he had an idea, retracted his hand, and took out a dice from his pocket.

The overly strong yin energy in the tomb gave him an ominous premonition, so he decided to do a fortune-telling before entering the tomb.

Gao Fei drew 3 points of magic power to perform "divination" and threw the dice in his hand.

The dice bounced on the ground and finally stopped. The side facing upwards was a bright red 1!

Ma Tao leaned over to take a look and his face suddenly changed.

"Oh my god! The divination dice showed a point, which is a sign of great misfortune. There may be a bloody disaster!"

Gao Fei did not say anything.

"Bloody disaster" is still light. Judging from the hexagram, it may be the rhythm of the whole team being wiped out...

"Gao Fei, how about I go into the tomb to investigate first? If there is any danger, I will run out quickly. After all, I am the fastest runner in the team." Jiang Feng said hesitantly.

Although she volunteered, she was actually a little scared.

Gao Fei shook his head gently.

"You, Brother Tao and Brother Daqing stay outside the tomb door and take good care of Sister Wu. I'll go in and check it out."

"To be honest, since we have to send someone in to explore the way anyway, wouldn't it be better for me to go than you?" Jiang Feng was anxious.

Gao Fei held his girlfriend's hand and forced a smile.

"You run faster than me, but I have more ways to escape than you."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Feng looked confused.

"I can enter the tomb without opening the door. If there is an ambush inside, I can still return the same way, but the ambush will be blocked by the door of the tomb and can't get out. In this way, we have more time to deal with it."

"Even a blade can't be inserted into the gap in the door. Even if you can fly, you can't get in, unless you can't do the 'wall-walking technique'!" Jiang Feng said unhappily.

"You're right, I really can do the 'wall-walking technique'."

"Really? Brother Fei! 'Wall-walking technique' is a 5th-ring magic. How can you be able to do it!"

Ma Tao couldn't help but suspect that Gao Fei was talking nonsense.

"Xiao Fei, don't keep us in suspense at this time. Just tell us what you want to do!" Wang Daqing urged.

Gao Fei was in no hurry to explain, and switched the "thief mask" on his face to the "druid mask".

His secondary profession "mimic" has been upgraded to level 5. With the help of the wild transformation of the "druid mask", he can transform into the four elements of water, fire, earth and wind.

Among them, the water element, wind element and fire element have no fixed form. Just like liquid, air and flame in nature, they can easily pass through the narrow door.

However, Gao Fei chose to transform into a medium-sized earth element and escape directly into the ground under his feet, like a fish swimming in the sea, silently passing through the mud and sand, bypassing the door in front.

In the dark and silent tomb, a human head made of sand and stone slowly emerged from the ground near the inside of the gate.

The earth element has its own "tremor perception". Gao Fei could not hear any movement in the tomb. After confirming that there was no ambush, he slowly floated to the ground.

As soon as he turned back into human form, he couldn't help but shiver twice.

The tomb was filled with a thick and tangible Yin Qi, and the chill was piercing.

If he hadn't configured "Standing Firm" in advance, just staying in this environment would cause the negative energy to corrode his flesh and blood body and continue to suffer from eclipse damage.

The source of this Yin Qi was the coffin placed in the center of the tomb.

All kinds of abnormal signs indicated huge risks.

Gao Fei didn't dare to open the coffin lid directly.

He stood at the door, ready to run away at any time, and opened the star disk at the same time to detect the internal situation through the coffin.

Because the distance was close enough, even if it was disturbed by the Yin Qi, the star disk still played a basic detection function, projecting the contents of the coffin on the star disk screen.

Lying in the coffin was a female corpse in ancient costume.

After nearly a thousand years, the corpse had long since decayed, making her look even thinner than when she was alive. The intact bones and hair still showed her graceful figure and dignified appearance.

Gao Fei's knowledge of ancient costumes came entirely from novels and ancient costume TV dramas.

Even with his meager knowledge, he could see that the wide-sleeved skirt, hairstyle, and jewelry worn by this woman who was buried in full dress all showed the Central Plains style, rather than the traditional costumes of Jurchen women in the Jin Dynasty.

A question came to his mind.

"Strange, why didn't Hong Debiao steal this female corpse?"

Gao Fei muttered to himself.

Is it because he has become a hungry ghost cluster and no longer needs to collect ancient corpses, or is there another reason?

Putting aside this question for the time being, Gao Fei continued to indirectly check the female corpse in the coffin through the star disk, and soon found another suspicious point.

The entire face of the female corpse was tightly wrapped in gauze, as if she was wearing a mask.

Did noble women in the Jin Dynasty have to cover their faces when they were buried?

I have never heard of this custom...

Of course, it could also be that I am not very knowledgeable.

It's a pity that Wu Xiaoqian is still in a coma, otherwise I could ask her for advice.

After carefully observing the face of the female corpse, Gao Fei discovered another strange detail.

Normally, after a corpse has been buried for thousands of years, the flesh on the face must have decayed and dried, leaving only a skull.

Then the cotton gauze tightly attached to the face should also show the outline of a skull.

However, the facial contour of the female corpse in the coffin is unusually full, as if a thick layer of cotton is stuffed under the mask, which props up the mask and does not show any signs of dents.

It is not difficult for Gao Fei to imagine.

If he opens the coffin lid and touches the face of the female corpse with his fingers, the touch must be soft and elastic, just like touching the cheek of a living girl.

So how to explain this?

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly felt cold all over.

As if she was not happy about being spied on, the yin energy emitted by the female corpse in the coffin suddenly became more and more chilling and piercing!

Even if Gao Fei had the "Standing Firm" to protect him, he still couldn't handle it.

Damn it!

Look at this... Could it be that the elder sister in the coffin is coming back to life? !
