Because the head sealed inside their bronze vessel could communicate with them.
The monster has been around ever since it first came into contact with the Zhou family.
They didn't tell the Zhou family much, only provided an exchange list.
That is, if the Zhou family helps him find the items on the list, he can grant the Zhou family a wish of equal value.
Throughout history, a total of three Zhou family heads have received their wishes.
One of them was Zhou Gousheng.
The item he used to exchange for his wish was a glass lamp.
The wish to be fulfilled was none other than to prolong one's own lifespan.
At 93 years old, he really didn't want to die.
Even with the Zhou family's immense power and wealth, they were powerless in the face of loss of life.
So naturally, he chose to make a deal with the being inside the bronze coffin.
And the other party actually helped him achieve it.
Six months ago, he was nearing the end of his life and could only get around in a wheelchair.
But when he brought that glass lamp to the monster, it miraculously gained a new life.
Even though it was brief, lasting only a year, he could clearly feel that he had indeed extended his lifespan.
The other party did not lie to him.
So, in order to prolong his life, he set his sights on the three bronze coffins of the other three families.
The other three bronze coffins are also the top three items that can be exchanged.
Of course, one might wonder why, over the long years, none of the Zhou family's ancestors had ever attempted to seize the bronze coffins from the other three families.
That's because of the Zhou family's ancestral precepts.
According to the Zhou family ancestors, helping the monster collect its remains might bring about a great disaster.
Therefore, it is strictly forbidden for younger generations to do this.
Of course, there are actually two other important reasons as well.
Firstly, it's very difficult to do this.
Both are from the four major families, and the other party is not someone to be trifled with; the risk is very high.
Secondly, it is to ensure the maximization of benefits.
Going to find the corpse before exchanging all the items on the tradeable list is clearly not a worthwhile endeavor.
However, there are those who are willing to take the risk and disregard everything.
Take Zhou Gousheng, for example.
There must be other Zhou family ancestors like him.
However, they either failed to do it or gave up.
For various reasons, the four bronze coffins have never been reunited to this day.
