Chapter 464: Cutting off an arm to save life
Feng Tianlong frowned, feeling a little depressed suddenly.
"Okay, Ma Jing, I won't lie to you anymore, and you shouldn't lie to yourself either. The person who saved you back then was Chang Qi, and the person who saved you underwater just now was also Chang Qi." Feng Tianlong said coldly.
"Then you have been with me for so many years, why didn't you tell me the truth?" Ma Jing said angrily.
"Will you still be with me if I tell you the truth? Without you, how could I have gotten the position of the Dragon Tiger Sect's direct disciple?"
"hehe……"
Ma Jing smiled bitterly: "So... So you have only been using me from the beginning to the end. It turns out that I have been deceiving myself all along."
"You can only blame yourself for being stupid." Feng Tianlong said coldly.
"You have lied to me for so long, why don't you continue to lie to me?" Ma Jing said with a sarcastic smile.
"I've had enough of your stupidity, selfishness, and your inexplicable temper. I'm not going to put up with it anymore, okay?"
When Feng Tianlong said this, there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
He didn't feel that happy, and even felt a little distressed.
Ma Jing fell helplessly to the ground. This time, Chang Qi didn't dare to help her.
Ma Jing felt the cold ground and then she looked at Chang Qi. It turned out that it was Chang Qi who had been protecting her behind her!
"hehe……"
Ma Jing laughed and cried at the same time, and the bitter tears made her forget the pain in her body.
Chang Qi pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time, then walked over and handed the antipyretic medicine and water to Ma Jing:
"Miss, take the medicine first!"
Ma Jing took the medicine tremblingly: "Why?"
"Because I dare not. I am an orphan and I don't have strong talent. I am not worthy of you." Changqi said with his head down.
"I'm asking, why are you so nice to me?" Ma Jing asked.
Chang Qi was stunned for a moment: "Ten years ago, you gave me a candy, and from then on I vowed to protect you for the rest of my life, even if it meant watching you from afar."
As soon as he finished speaking, Changqi felt that there was another person in his arms.
Ma Jing hugged him tightly, and her sobbing sounded in his ears, making his head dizzy.
"Why, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have fallen in love with him! Wuwu..."
Chang Qi's whole body was stiff, and the hand he stretched out was like a newly installed prosthetic limb, patting Ma Jing's back stiffly.
"Yes... I'm sorry, I'm just afraid that you will dislike me!" Chang Qi said.
Ma Jing pointed at Feng Tianlong and said to Chang Qi:
"Do you think he's any better than you? Before he was with me, he was even worse than you!"
Chang Qi lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake: "I know I was wrong, don't be angry, take the medicine first!"
Ma Jing handed the medicine to Chang Qi while sobbing: "Feed me!"
Chang Qi dazedly broke open the medicine shell and fed the medicine into Ma Jing's mouth.
Until now, he felt like he was dreaming.
Feng Tianlong, who was still on the gossip stage, no longer had the mind to figure out how to open the coffin. Looking at Chang Qi and Ma Jing together, he just felt it was very dazzling.
Chu Ruanruan looked at Feng Tianlong and couldn't help but sigh: "People always know how to cherish things only when they lose them. What were you doing before?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianlong immediately calmed down and stopped looking at Chang Qi and Ma Jing.
After the excitement, everyone's attention was focused on the coffin.
Yang Cheng tried many ways but failed to open it.
"Yang Cheng, didn't your master tell you how to open this coffin?" Feng Tianlong asked.
"Nonsense, if I were to tell you, why would I be doing research here?" Yang Cheng said speechlessly.
Feng Tianlong was choked and the air was stuck in his throat. He couldn't breathe out or swallow it.
"Is there really a treasure in this coffin?" someone asked, sticking his head out.
"I don't know, but judging from the quality of this coffin, it should be the emperor's coffin." Yang Cheng said.
Suddenly, Yang Cheng's hand touched a bump on the edge of the coffin: "Found it!"
Yang Cheng pressed lightly, and a hole the size of an adult's fist instantly appeared on the coffin.
"Why is there only such a small hole? Could it be that the emperor's body was stuffed in through the hole?"
Yang Cheng and Feng Tianlong looked at the man who spoke with contempt.
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. How could a person fit through such a small hole? This coffin should be sealed and can only be opened from the inside. This hole is just big enough for an adult's hand to fit through."
"You mean we should reach in through this hole and open the coffin!" Everyone's face changed.
No one knows what is inside the coffin. People always feel uneasy about unknown things.
"Wealth and honor are achieved through risk. How can you get something without paying a price?"
Yang Cheng gritted his teeth and rolled up his sleeves.
Seeing this, everyone stepped back and looked at Yang Cheng's hand nervously.
Yang Cheng took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and put his hand into the hole little by little.
Chu Runrun squinted her eyes and looked at the coffin. The more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong. Why did the pattern on the coffin look so much like the Five Elements Soul Restoration Technique?
As Yang Cheng's hand slowly sank into the coffin, everyone's breathing almost stopped.
Yang Cheng slowly felt his way down the wall of the coffin and stopped when he touched a round mechanism.
"Here it is!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Yang Cheng's eyes. Just as he was about to press the mechanism, a cold and sticky claw suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"ah!"
Yang Cheng screamed in fright and quickly pulled his hand back.
"Look, what's that in his hand?"
Everyone stared at Yang Cheng's arm, but no one came forward to help.
Yang Cheng's forearm was tightly grasped by a hand with dry skin, and the sharp nails had left blood marks on Yang Cheng's arm.
Seeing the black blood flowing out of the wound, Yang Cheng knew that he had been poisoned by the corpse and that his arm could not be saved.
The claw was so powerful that Yang Cheng couldn't break free by himself, and the others had no intention of helping.
Seeing that the corpse poison was about to spread throughout his body, Yang Cheng gritted his teeth, drew his sword, and chopped it down from top to bottom, cutting off his arm in one stroke.
"ah!!"
Accompanied by a scream, blood splattered everywhere, and the severed arm was pulled into the coffin by the claw.
Yang Cheng fell to the ground in pain, his eyes bloodshot.
After hesitating for a moment, everyone dragged him over and bandaged his wound to stop the bleeding.
There was a creaking sound coming from inside the coffin, which made everyone shudder.
"Is it... is it eating Yang Cheng's arm?"
“It seems so!”
"What the hell is that thing? Why don't we find a way to leave now!"
"Don't worry, Chu Ruanruan and the others are not in a hurry to leave. Let's wait and see."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Ruanruan and the other three. As soon as they moved, the others followed suit.
Chu Runrun couldn't help but laugh. After what happened before, these people had become smarter.
"Ruanruan, there must be a zombie in this coffin!" Chu Qi said.
"That's right. The emperor was turned into a zombie and used as a gravekeeper. No wonder he has so much resentment." Chu Runrun said.
