"Quickly, place the stone box on top of the coffin!" Ye Zhen shouted to Mitchell beside her.
As soon as she finished speaking, Mitchell transformed into a streak of light and rushed into the main hall. Seeing this, Ye Xi and the others breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they could get the stone box, their goal would be achieved.
However, Yang Tianyou and the others, who were riding bone dragons and floating in the sea above, revealed a mocking smile.
"Your soul casket isn't in the coffin, is it?" a lich teased. Yang Tianyou immediately waved his hand and said in a good mood, "A lich's soul casket is of utmost importance; how could it possibly be placed in the main hall?"
"That doesn't matter, but I guess you'll have to get a new coffin, right? After all, this thing has been tainted by a god of holy light!" Ed laughed from the side.
For them, the coffin is their bed, and the holy light is darkness and filth. If someone dumped a pile of garbage on your bed, would you still want to sleep in that bed?
"Hmph! You're saying you won't need to change your beds later!" Yang Tianyou snorted coldly and said irritably.
Their territories are destined to be searched; no one can escape, and changing their coffins is inevitable.
As they were talking, Mitchell, who had entered the main hall, came out with a gloomy expression. His hands were empty, clearly indicating that he had not found the stone box that Ye Zhen had mentioned.
Upon seeing this, Ye Zhen's expression changed drastically, and Mitchell's next words confirmed what they had in mind.
“We didn’t find the stone box you mentioned, and there’s nothing on the coffin!” Mitchell said with a gloomy expression, now harboring some doubt about Ye Zhen’s information.
“Then they must have moved it. That was part of our plan, wasn’t it?” Ye Xi spoke up to defend Ye Zhen, who seemed a little lost.
Although Ye Zhen is eloquent and persuasive, she is still too young and easily hurt.
Ye Chen had anticipated the failure to find the stone box before even going to sea, since Yang Tianyou and the others had been back for so long, it was impossible not to make arrangements.
Upon hearing Ye Xi's words, Mitchell nodded and looked up at Yang Tianyou and the others.
"Where is the stone box? Hand it over! I might spare your lives!" Mitchell said in a deep voice. Since he became a god on the planet Woolf, no one had ever dared to mock him like this.
"Heh heh heh~~~ What stone box? As a native god, it's not a good habit for you to slander people like this!" A skeleton king sneered, finally finding an opportunity to vent his anger after being so frustrated for so long.
"Hmph! Damn scum!" The other party's disrespectful attitude enraged Mitchell, but he maintained a sliver of reason. He took a deep breath and headed toward the next temple.
"Do you really believe that lord's words? He's just a newly appointed lord. Would he be so kind and selfless as to help you?" This time, Yang Tianyou and the others did not stop him, letting him fly towards the next temple. It would be difficult to stop a god along the way, and as for the temple, it had already been buried by skeletons.
Upon hearing Yang Tianyou's words, Mitchell paused slightly, but still landed beside the next temple, glancing at Ye Xi and the others who had not yet arrived, signaling them to act quickly.
Mitchell wasn't indifferent to the liches' divisive words, but he knew priorities. Ye Chen might have other motives, but the first thing to do was to find these rats.
However, while Mitchell didn't take it to heart, Ye Xi and the others couldn't help but overthink it. Yang Tianyou's words weren't intended to make Mitchell change anything, but they would inevitably leave a seed of doubt in his mind.
The second temple belonged to a Skeleton King. Unlike Yang Tianyou's temple before, this time they were well-prepared, with a large number of skeletons piled up to completely bury the entire temple.
Even though Ye Xi and the others tried their best, they could not create another gap, and soon more skeletons filled in.
"These guys!" Ye Zhen gritted her teeth, glaring at the people above.
These skeletons have truly buried the temple. Even with magic crystal bombs, they can only blast open the top layer, not to mention the scattered bone fragments still piled up on top, making it impossible to distinguish between the dry bones and the real skeletons.
Most importantly, several skeletal dragons were pressing down on top. Although there were huge gaps between the bones, they could effectively block most of Ye Xi and the others' attacks, making it increasingly difficult to open a breach.
However, Mitchell and the others could not possibly abandon the temple, for who knows if the stone box might be hidden inside it.
"Sister Ye Xi, could the stone box really not be in these temples?" Ye Zhen asked Ye Xi with a worried expression as she looked at the crowd attacking fiercely.
“Impossible. The lord and Lord Mitchell have already analyzed it. Their territory is completely empty. Apart from the temple, there is nowhere to hide. This is the only place they could hide something! It’s not even in these crevices outside the rocks. The stone box should be placed stably and protected from collisions. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have placed it on their own coffin lid.” Ye Xi shook his head and said.
Ye Zhen bit her lip and nodded, having no choice but to continue checking each building one by one.
Fortunately, these undead creatures could only passively take the beating and dared not retaliate. No matter how difficult it was, Ye Xi and his group could always open a gap in the defenses after spending some time.
It took Mitchell a full twenty minutes to finally enter the temple, but he still came out with a dark face. There was no stone box that Ye Zhen had mentioned.
The group continued on to the next temple. To have their home destroyed in front of them was a great humiliation for Yang Tianyou and the others, but at this moment, they were watching with great interest.
You can't stand me, but you can't hit me, and you can't do anything about me. This kind of thing is very satisfying for anyone.
An hour later, the exhausted group finally arrived at the last piece of territory, which was the territory of the vampire Ed.
"Is this the last one?" Ye Xi asked. After an hour of continuous attacks, even his iron body was starting to give out, but this was the last one, and the stone box should be here if nothing unexpected happened.
"Hey, hey, hey! Be gentle! My gargoyle is much more valuable than those skeletons. Don't break it!" The vampire Ed cried out with a pained expression as he saw the group swimming over.
He's not like a skeleton; these are real living beings, and if they die, they're truly dead.
However, looking at the pile of level 5 gargoyles turned into stone statues in front of the temple, Ye Xi and the others were immediately in trouble. It seemed that their attack power was not enough this time!
