Chapter 417 Cave Collapse

Amid the mixed emotions of the crowd, the few practitioners who approached the coffin pushed the cover of the coffin, revealing the space inside little by little.

However, before everyone could see what was inside the coffin, several dark creatures crawled out of the coffin, and the practitioners who were pushing the coffin cover were the first to be bitten by the creatures that crawled out.

"What is this?!"

"It hurts!"

"Ah, why did my arm turn black!"

Several practitioners screamed and threw the creatures on their arms away with all their strength. Those creatures immediately rushed into the crowd and attacked the onlookers wantonly. As for the few practitioners who were bitten first, they fell to the ground screaming, watching the places where they were bitten turn black and rot, and then spread to other parts of the body, ending their lives in severe pain.

No one cared about the miserable state of those practitioners. The creatures that crawled out of the coffins had entered the practitioners who were watching and began to attack other practitioners. Some of them had been hit and fell to the ground screaming like the previous ones. Then, they swallowed their last breath unwillingly while screaming.

However, this was not the end. When those unknown creatures attacked the crowd, small holes appeared on the surrounding stone walls again. Cold arrows shot out from the stone walls, and the direction of the shooting was exactly where the crowd was standing.

Suddenly, the casualties of the practitioners on the scene were even more severe.

"Why do I feel like I'm in the wrong place? It's like I'm shooting a tomb-robbing movie." Wu Fan complained while taking Liu Yan'er and Tang Yufei to avoid the attack.

Of course, Wu Fan understood that this was not a movie. Those who died were really dead, not acting as corpses. The practitioners who were so majestic in the eyes of many people were now in a miserable state, not much better than ordinary people.

Wu Fan now roughly understood why the first person who discovered this secret realm did not take the treasures inside by himself, but made the news public. That was because the person who discovered this secret realm realized the danger of this secret realm and was not sure that he could take the treasures inside safely, so he announced the news to attract more people to come here, and then find opportunities in the chaos to take away the treasures.

After a chaos, the arrows on the stone wall were shot out, and the creatures crawling out of the coffin were also killed. The scene gradually returned to calm. However, compared with before, there were many people lying on the ground at this time. These people were either dead or injured. In just less than ten minutes, hundreds of people on the cultivator side were killed and injured. It can be seen how terrible the chaos just now was.

Wu Fan and the other two were not injured. They came in late and stood relatively far back. The people in front helped them block the damage.

The tomb returned to calm, but because of what happened just now, everyone did not dare to act rashly, fearing that they would trigger any traps again. At this time, suddenly someone rushed out of the crowd and ran directly to the coffin.

Some people wanted to follow, but when they thought about what happened just now, they hesitated. More people looked around with vigilance to prevent any more accidents.

Wu Fan looked at the man and didn't follow him. He wondered in his heart whether this man was the first person to discover this secret realm. Now he felt that all dangers were lifted, so he wanted to take the treasure?

Under the gaze of everyone, the man rushed to the coffin, reached into the coffin, took out a parchment scroll, and his face was happy. The people around him thought he had taken some treasure and were ready to move again.

However, the next second he threw the parchment scroll out, cursing, and then reached into the coffin again.

The parchment scroll was thrown away, and a cultivator couldn't help but step forward to take it.

"Ruan Qing?" The man couldn't help but say it when he saw the content on the parchment scroll.

And this name surprised many people at the scene.

"It's Ruan Qing?!" Liu Yan'er couldn't help but speak when she heard the name.

"Do you know him?" Wu Fan asked.

"He..." Liu Yan'er was about to explain when the coffin suddenly shook violently.

Then, a hole suddenly appeared under the coffin again. The coffin and the person who rushed over fell down at the same time, and then the hole closed automatically.

Seeing this, many people rushed over to see what was going on. However, at this moment, the whole cave shook and gravel kept falling.

Wu Fan's face changed and he said, "Oh no, this cave is going to collapse!"

It was not just Wu Fan who realized this. Many people changed their faces and started running out. They were underground now. If the cave really collapsed, they would all be buried alive underground. Although they were all practitioners, they were just mortals. Being pressed underground by stones, there was basically no possibility of survival.

"Get out quickly." Wu Fan said to Liu Yan'er and Tang Yufei.

"What about you?" Tang Yufei asked.

"I have something to do, I'll be there soon." Wu Fan said, "After we get out, tell the people in Jingfangzhai to evacuate quickly, I think the cave outside will collapse as well."

"Wu Fan, it's too dangerous here, you can't stay." Liu Yan'er said.

"It's okay, I know my limits." Wu Fan said, "You guys leave quickly, it'll be too late if you don't leave now!"

Liu Yan'er and Tang Yufei wanted to persuade Wu Fan, but Wu Fan pushed them out. Moreover, more and more rubble fell from their heads, and the cave was shaking more and more violently, and they were about to collapse.

"Wu Fan, be careful!" Liu Yan'er said to Wu Fan with a serious face: "Don't get into trouble!"

"Don't worry." Wu Fan said.

Liu Yan'er then took Tang Yufei away.

"Iceberg, we can't leave Wu Fan alone here!" Tang Yufei said to Liu Yan'er.

"Wu Fan is not a person who likes to make trouble. Since he chose to stay, he must have his plans. We will only drag him down if we stay here." Liu Yan'er said to Tang Yufei as she walked out with her.

Although she said so, Liu Yan'er's worries about Wu Fan were no less than Tang Yufei's, but she was calmer than Tang Yufei.

After Wu Fan watched Tang Yufei and Liu Yan'er leave, he turned around and went to the place where the coffin was just now. There was no gap there now, as if the hole just now had never appeared.

Wu Fan was not the only one who chose to stay and look for the hole. Obviously, some people were unwilling to leave like this. They knew very well that if they left now, this secret realm would be destroyed and they would have no chance to come in again.

As the saying goes, birds die for food and people die for money. These people were unwilling to go on this trip empty-handed, so they decided to take the risk and stay to find the entrance to the cave.
