The Wudang Junior Master

Chapter 279: Pool of Blood? Blood-sucking Coffin!

"I rely on!"

Tang Wenlong was also frightened and almost threw away the hidden weapon in his hand.

The main reason is that the environment here is dark. If you don’t have a flashlight, it’s pitch black and you can’t see your hand in front of you. If a person suddenly appears in the light, even a brave person will be scared.

Well... not necessarily.

Feng Baobao blinked, walked over very calmly, and poked the woman in ancient costume on the face with her hand.

"Dead, I'm afraid of nothing."

Zhang Chulan asked, "Dead...dead?"

Come to think of it, it seems to make sense. It seems unlikely that there are living people in this place.

Anyway, it was either a monster or a corpse. It was just because the female corpse's appearance was preserved so well that, except for her pale face, it looked exactly like a living person at first glance.

Not to mention, with Feng Baobao around, Zhang Chulan and the other two were not so scared anymore.

In the scavenger team, when it comes to sense of security, Feng Baobao says he is third and no one dares to say he is second.

The three of them also walked forward and observed carefully. Tang Wenlong seemed to have discovered something and reached out to scratch the female corpse's face.

"Huh? Wax?" Tang Wenlong pondered, "This should be used to prevent corpses from decaying."

"Wait, do you smell a fishy smell?" Lu Linglong said, covering her nose.

Zhang Chulan nodded: "I smelled it as soon as I came in. I have never smelled such a pungent smell."

"Where does this smell come from?" Lu Linglong looked around and found the second female corpse.

The two female corpses were not far apart, probably only about four or five meters apart.

Lu Linglong searched again and found a total of sixteen female wax corpses. These wax corpses were kneeling beside a large square pool, like maids in ancient times who helped their masters bathe and change clothes.

The reason why it is called a big pool is that there are layers of steps on the edge, and a large area in the middle looks black under the light, as if it is filled with some liquid.

"What is this?" Zhang Chulan was very curious.

This looks like a very spacious tomb, but there is a large pool in the middle, which makes it look like a bathroom.

Feng Baobao was still there. She walked down the steps without worry or fear, came to the edge of the pool, sniffed, and probed with her fingers, and finally came to a positive conclusion -

"There's blood all over here."

Blood?

Zhang Chulan and the other two were shocked. Such a large pool was full of blood?

No, what kind of hobby is this, taking a bath in blood?

No wonder the smell was so fishy and unpleasant. I thought it was something else before, but it turned out to be blood.

It’s not that the three of them couldn’t smell the blood, but the smell here was too strong, to an indescribable level.

It's like a person who knows the stench of shit, but if you blindfold yourself and put yourself in a shit pit, your nose will most likely be overwhelmed by the odor, making it difficult for you to determine what the smell is for a while.

Of course, if you have smelled the smell of a cesspool, that’s a different story. You have experience with that.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. When a pile of shit gathers together, the smell will be strongly enhanced.

The same is true for the pool of blood. Because the amount is so large, the smell is so strong that it is torturous, making it difficult to determine what it is.

"Why is there so much blood here?" Lu Linglong came to Feng Baobao and looked at the pool in front of her curiously.

"I don't know." Feng Baobao shook her head.

Tang Wenlong said, "Never mind it. Let's look for a way to get out of here. I don't know why, but I feel uncomfortable all over and a little creepy staying here."

"I just took a look and there seems to be no door here. There are walls all around. Either there is a mechanism or the door is hidden." Zhang Chulan stared at the blood pool in front of him.

Tang Wenlong took the flashlight and scanned the surroundings, and found that it was exactly as Zhang Chulan said.

This large tomb chamber was empty, with only a dozen female wax corpses, hanging lamps on the walls, and a large pool of blood in the middle. There was nothing else.

Except for the place where they just came in, there was no sign of a door anywhere else.

"This...then how are we supposed to get out? Isn't this a dead end?" Tang Wenlong was a little dumbfounded.

"It shouldn't be a dead end." Zhang Chulan pointed at the blood pool, "Now let's see if there's anything hidden underneath."

Tang Wenlong said, "Even if there's some trap down there, how are we supposed to get down? This is all blood, not water, so we can't swim."

"Let's explore first to see how deep this blood pool is."

Zhang Chulan first found a stone, then tied it up with a rope and threw it into the blood pool.

With a gurgle, the stone sank into the pool of blood.

After the stone sank to the bottom, Zhang Chulan reeled in the rope and checked to see where the blood had soaked into the rope.

Since he was throwing from the side, the vertical distance was not measured, so some calculation was needed.

But fortunately it was not difficult, and Zhang Chulan quickly came to a conclusion.

"This blood pool is probably only about three meters deep."

If there is water in here, this depth is nothing at all. Even a normal swimmer can dive to the bottom quickly.

But now the pool is full of blood, and people can't open their eyes when they dive in. It is still very difficult to figure out what is at the bottom of the pool.

But just as Zhang Chulan was thinking about a solution, several blood bubbles suddenly appeared on the blood pool.

Gulu——Gulu——

At first there were only a few blood bubbles, but soon they began to appear densely in the center, just like boiling hot pot soup.

Lu Linglong was surprised and asked, "What happened? Did the stone just now hit something?"

Zhang Chulan couldn't be sure whether the sudden change was related to the stone he had just thrown, after all, it happened just a few moments ago.

Just when the four... three people were in confusion, the blood pool made a "gurgling" sound and began to drop rapidly, as if it was being drained.

"Let's go up first!"

Not understanding what was going on, Zhang Chulan thought it would be better to observe from a distance and not get too close.

Soon, only half of the blood was left in the pool, and finally when it was almost at the bottom, a red coffin emerged.

Zhang Chulan and the other two widened their eyes and discovered that the blood in the blood pool was being "sucked" into the coffin.

That’s right, it was ‘sucked in’, sucked in through the crack in the coffin!

But this is really unbelievable. The coffin is not very big. How can it contain a pool of blood?

Could it be that there is something else inside the coffin, some kind of mechanism that diverts the blood to another place?

This is not impossible.

"Drained." Tang Wenlong said.

As the blood in the pool was sucked dry by the coffin, the entire pool became visible.

Apart from the coffin, there was nothing unusual at first glance at the bottom of the pool, and it didn't look like there were any mechanisms.

Of course, we will have to investigate to find out whether there is anything hidden.

Just as Zhang Chulan was considering whether to go down, the coffin soaked in blood suddenly moved.

Boom!

The coffin lid jumped, as if something inside was about to break out.
