Wen Jiajia couldn't contain her excitement. The Azure Dragon carrying the coffin—could this be the real Azure Dragon carrying the coffin?
She flew quickly in that direction, immediately firing a signal flare to warn the others.
As she got closer, her shock became even more pronounced.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that this Azure Dragon statue was at least forty or fifty meters long! The surface was painted with some kind of pigment, and even in the darkness, every scale of the Azure Dragon shimmered, giving it an incredibly majestic appearance.
She was facing sideways to the massive Azure Dragon statue, so she couldn't see the dragon's head at all. However, Wen Jiajia was more concerned about the enormous stone coffin carried on the Azure Dragon's back—the coffin was made of a transparent material!
Inside, a bronze metal coffin was clearly visible. And that wasn't all; out of curiosity, she tapped on the stone coffin a few times, and to her surprise, a sound came from inside the bronze coffin.
Wen Jiajia was startled and immediately retreated more than ten meters away. She patted her chest, her face still showing lingering fear.
"What the hell?! Could it be a zombie coming back to life?!"
Just in case, Miss Wen immediately released several more tall and strange pets, which surrounded her completely.
At this moment, the stone coffin made even more noise.
Through the transparent stone coffin, she was surprised to find that the smaller bronze coffin inside had opened by itself. The next scene showed a woman in a palace dress adorned with jewels sitting out of the coffin.
"Ah—!!! It's come back to life!!" Wen Jiajia turned around and started running wildly, only to bump into Yue Qi, who had just arrived.
Caught off guard, Yue Qi was almost knocked away by her headbutt. Fortunately, his martial arts skills were excellent, and he managed to restrain the furious Wen Jiajia.
When Wen Jiajia saw him, she felt like she had seen a savior, and she screamed and howled at the top of her lungs.
"Yue, Yue Qi, he's come back to life! There's a woman in that coffin!!"
"What?!" Yue Qi was startled and instinctively looked up towards the coffin.
The next moment, he met a pair of extremely familiar eyes.
"Yan Qing?!"
————
Yan Qing was startled awake by a knocking sound. She was a little surprised. Was there someone else here?
"Chu Jiang, Chu Jiang—wake up!"
She instinctively wanted to call out to Chu Jiang beside her, but no matter how she called, he didn't respond at all.
A very bad feeling welled up in Yan Qing's heart. She quickly put her finger to the other person's nose and cautiously probed.
A minute later, Yan Qing finally realized that Chu Jiang was actually dead.
But how could someone so powerful and mysterious die so easily?
She doesn't believe it!
Yan Qing simply sat up and started shaking the other person's body desperately, but there was still no response.
She still refused to accept reality, so she took out a bottle of golden water and poured it into his mouth, but she couldn't pry his mouth open no matter what she did.
Just when she was in despair, the coffin lid above her head suddenly opened automatically.
Yan Qing was finally able to sit up completely, and when she poked her head out of the bronze coffin, she realized that she was actually inside a huge, transparent stone coffin. What she thought was a bronze coffin was just an inner outer coffin.
Outside the transparent stone coffin, a familiar figure was looking in her direction with a surprised expression.
It's Yue Qi!! And Wen Jiajia, have they come to rescue her?
Yan Qing greeted him excitedly, "Yue Qi, Yue Qi, I'm here!"
For some reason, Yue Qi noticed something was off about her expression. It didn't look like a joyful reunion; rather, it was as if she had seen a ghost.
Before she could even wonder what was going on, Wen Jiajia turned around as well.
Her reaction was more intense; Yan Qing saw her tremblingly raise her finger in her direction, then let out a scream.
"A ghost!—!!"
Then, she tilted her head back and was so frightened that she fainted.
Yan Qing was even more puzzled now. What was wrong with them?
She turned to look at Yue Qi with anticipation, but this time, no matter how she called out to him, he seemed not to hear her at all, standing firmly in place without moving.
Yan Qing's excited hands froze in place. Even she, usually oblivious, sensed something was wrong. Yue Qi and Wen Jiajia seemed to have seen something exceptionally terrifying.
So she could only sit back down in the coffin, preparing to turn on the flashlight and carefully check Chu Jiang's condition.
Upon closer inspection, something was amiss. Chu Jiang had vanished into thin air?
How is this possible?!
Undeterred, Yan Qing used the light of her flashlight to carefully examine the inside of the coffin, inside and out. She discovered that, indeed, there was no one else besides herself.
For a moment, she wondered if she had lost her mind. She clearly remembered that Chu Jiang had just been there!
Not only that, besides Chu Jiang disappearing, the simplified Chinese message she had touched inside the coffin had also vanished!
Yan Qing checked several times in disbelief, and indeed there were no engravings on the inner wall of the coffin.
But those contents were still clearly imprinted in her mind. Not only the message from six months later, but also Chu Jiang's final words of advice—she remembered them all clearly, word for word.
—Except for one thing, as she was about to fall asleep, Chu Jiang seemed to have whispered many words in her ear, but she can't recall a single one of them now.
No, Yan Qing, you need to calm down!
She pinched her fingers hard, almost drawing blood, before she could barely calm her emotions.
She remembered Chu Jiang's earlier instructions, so she immediately got up. She reached out and began to grope around in the southeast corner of the coffin, and sure enough, there was a small bump there.
Yan Qing closed her eyes and pressed down hard.
The next moment, Yue Qi, who was not far away, and the three people who had just arrived all saw a scene that made their scalps tingle.
On the enormous Azure Dragon statue, the bottom of the transparent stone coffin had actually split open.
A smaller stone coffin detached from the bottom and slid down uncontrollably, landing on the tail of the Azure Dragon statue below.
The Azure Dragon seemed to have come over, and with a gentle flick of its tail, the stone coffin slid down and remained motionless in mid-air.
The next moment, the resurrected Azure Dragon statue, carrying the remaining massive stone coffin above it, twisted its body and flew away, shaking its head and wagging its tail.
"This... am I hallucinating?!" Sun Qiang rubbed his eyes. "Stone statues can actually fly by themselves?"
