Li Kang didn't waste any time. As soon as the people were put aside, he signaled to open the coffin.
As the coffin lid was opened, a familiar green color appeared before his eyes. Unexpectedly, the object in the coffin was not a person, but a python that was thicker than ever before.
There were two bumps on the snake's head, making it look like a dragon. Although its body seemed to be withering and its skin was wrinkled, it could still be seen that it was the same species as the previous group of snakes.
"Wow." Jiang Shaomu was shocked while fighting with the snake. After all, this snake was really alive and he couldn't control it. It must have been alive for a long time. No wonder it was so alive.
The reason why he failed might be because he was not the main force. With Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi around, the other guys were not there to do nothing. He was probably the only one with poor melee ability.
Jiang Shaomu was commanding the paper man to attack from a distance against the wall, but he was soon beaten to pieces. It was because he didn't know enough about close combat and couldn't find the most energy-saving attack method for the paper man. It seems that he must take a class to learn it in the future, Jiang Shaomu thought after the paper man was completely broken into pieces.
Jiang Shaomu simply withdrew from the battlefield. With his keen eyesight, he could tell that the snake seemed to be in a weak period and would die soon.
Ten minutes later, the snake's head fell to the ground, announcing its complete death. Jiang Shaomu then came forward and asked clearly that no one wanted the body except Hei Xia Zi. He then quickly peeled off the eyes, fangs and part of the skin of the body and put them into his backpack.
The fresh snake corpse is a good thing. Huitian will use the snake skin to make some equipment to wear to save his life. As for the rest, he will not let it go. When he gets out of this tomb, he will secretly put it into the space. And Hei Xiazi, I will give you some when I get back, he gestured to Hei Xiazi.
After the battle, it was time to clean up the battlefield. Fortunately, only three guys died this time. Two of them didn't dodge fast enough and had their necks and spines broken by the snake's tail. One was hit in the face by the snake's venom, and his entire head was instantly covered in blood. Not even a complete body was left.
However, because of this, even though no one wanted the corpse, the little venom left was all distributed.
Maybe someone wants it, but if you don't know what to do with it, it will take up a lot of space. In comparison, they would probably be happier if the backpack was filled with treasures.
The coffin was made almost entirely of top-grade jade. There were 20 small pieces of slightly dark jade, some of which were even larger than a palm's size. Every worker was excited; they would make a fortune from just this coffin!
However, Jiang Shaomu keenly discovered that the leaders of the three small groups did not seem particularly happy, and it was obvious that they came here for other purposes.
After packing up their things, they continued to look forward along the hole that was revealed when the coffin lid was opened. It seemed as if a new cave had appeared, and the light became brighter and brighter as they looked further.
Until the entrance of the cave opened up, they appeared in a valley again. This valley was not big, but there was a huge locust tree growing in the middle of the valley.
The locust tree seemed to be over 60 meters high and nearly four meters in diameter.
Li Kang asked: "This tree must be more than a thousand years old, right?"
Jiang Shaomu said with a tone of envy that Li Kang couldn't describe: "No, this tree is at least two thousand five hundred years old."
He glanced at Hei Xia Zi and Zhang Qi Ling secretly, and added: "In fact, if I am not conservative, I think this locust tree is more than three thousand years old."
As one of the Five Ghost Trees, its age has reached a terrifying three thousand years without anyone taking care of it, and it has been growing in this ancient tomb for at least a few thousand years. There is simply no better tree for nourishing yin than this.
Didn’t you see that the spirits behind the two 10-year-old men briefly left them and stayed close to the tree?
In the past, Jiang Shaomu was still struggling with what kind of material could carry and nourish the souls of his two relatives for a long time. Now he is no longer struggling and is grateful for the top-notch materials sent by God.
Is this the fate of being a favorite of the heavens? Even if they don't know they will need something, it will guide them to find it.
One cannot help but notice that there was envy in Jiang Shaomu's tone, but this journey also laid a good foundation for him to get closer to the protagonist group, and brought him nearly 100% efficiency for two-fifths of the tasks. Thinking about it this way, maybe he is the real protagonist. The more Jiang Shaomu thought about it, the more he felt that what he thought made sense.
As the protagonist, he was merciful enough to get more materials to help the two elderly people who were in urgent need of help. Jiang Shaomu praised himself for his kindness.
