Donald calmly replied, "This is the burial ground of royalty from hundreds of years ago. Those buried here are all members of the imperial family; their burial goods are truly priceless, and..."
He paused here, then beckoned to Chu Lin with his finger, as if teasing a puppy, signaling him to bring his ear closer.
Chu Lin's face suddenly turned dark and gloomy, as if he wished he could tear him to pieces.
However, thinking of his ultimate goal, he held back and leaned closer to hear Donald whisper, "The treasure map you want is inside. With it, all your ambitions will be fulfilled."
Chu Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he asked suspiciously, "You're not lying to me, are you? If you had something this good, why didn't you take it yourself in the first place?"
“I’m not as greedy as you!” Donald made no attempt to hide his disgust. “Even if I got it, it wouldn’t be of any use to me. Don’t forget what you promised me. I helped you, so you have to let me go.”
Chu Lin scoffed inwardly, thinking to himself: This old bastard is indeed afraid of death.
Even though he acted so fiercely before, he still didn't commit suicide in the end. In the end, he still wanted to live a life of shame!
"I will certainly not forget my promise, provided that what I receive is genuine."
...
At Chu Lin's signal, everyone then walked toward the coffin.
"Open all the coffins!" he commanded coldly.
"But such disrespect for the dead will surely bring retribution!" someone said cautiously.
Chu Lin didn't waste any words with him. Annoyed, he pulled out his gun and shot the man dead on the spot.
Everyone trembled with fear at his cruelty. More than the retribution for the dead, they were now terrified of the living man before them.
No, their methods are more terrifying than those of a demon crawling out of hell. Can they even be considered human?
They've lost all humanity!
This time, without waiting for his further instructions, everyone wisely moved over and together lifted the coffin lid.
Jewelry, phoenix crowns, and all sorts of other treasures dazzled the eye.
Some people were blinded and reached out uncontrollably to grab it, only to be handcuffed tightly by handcuffs that appeared from the corner as soon as their hands went in.
Countless poisoned swords flew out of the coffin, piercing the man's heart and killing him instantly.
Everyone was stunned again.
It seems there's a mechanism inside the coffin that will activate once touched.
Everyone was so frightened that they withdrew their hands.
"What are you all standing there for?" Chu Lin's face darkened. "I didn't invite you here to eat for free. Remove all the mechanisms in the coffin!"
"What are we going to do?" After a long silence, Kaisa frowned deeply. "A mechanism that will activate at the slightest touch, are we going to risk our lives?"
“That’s a good idea.” Chu Lin said matter-of-factly, “Even if it costs you your lives, you must help me get all the treasures out of the coffin!”
Everyone's faces turned ashen.
All the previous restraint erupted at this moment.
Many people clenched their fists, ready to fight him to the death.
At this critical moment, Yi Tianran calmly said, "This mechanism shouldn't only punish you if you touch it. I have a solution."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze instinctively fell upon her.
Even Chu Lin raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Oh? You have a plan?"
Yi Tianran smiled calmly, took out two sensing stones from her handbag, and threw them into the coffin.
The mechanism was immediately triggered, and poisoned arrows shot out in rapid succession, taking a full two minutes to subside.
Yi Tianran remained vigilant, throwing in two more stones to confirm that no second wave of mechanisms had been activated before she finally felt relieved.
"Alright." Yi Tianran raised an eyebrow. "Now you can put it down and check if there's anything inside."
Chu Lin was still uneasy, and glanced at her with his sinister eyes, "Go and check first."
Yi Tianran seemed surprised by his words and paused for a couple of seconds.
The next moment, Chu Lin's inner gun was already pointed at her forehead. "Do I have to say it again?"
Kasha's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately shouted, "This is coercion! Shameless!"
She wanted to distract Chu Lin so that Yi Tianran could slip away.
Chu Lin's face darkened as expected, and he turned the gun towards her. "What, do you want to get shot first?"
Yi Tianran retorted sharply, "Enough! I'm going to investigate!"
Kasha glanced at her subconsciously, and Yi Tianran quietly gave her a reassuring look.
"Looks like you know what's good for you." Chu Lin chuckled with satisfaction and urged, "Then hurry up and go!"
Yi Tianran was not intimidated by his imposing aura. Instead, she walked straight to the coffin and slowly reached her hand inside.
The terrifying mechanism no longer worked, clearly indicating that Yi Tianran had indeed broken the mechanism with a few stones.
At this point, Chu Lin could no longer restrain himself. He hid his pistol, strode over, and squatted down to rummage through the contents of the coffin.
He immediately ordered his men, "What are you all standing there for? Come and help me search!"
"Yes." Everyone stepped forward to search.
Although the people in Kaisa's group didn't know what he was looking for, how could they not be moved when they saw so many sparkling treasures?
One by one, they crowded around, and when no one noticed, they secretly smuggled a few items away.
After all, they were so frightened and worked so hard, they deserve some compensation!
Yi Tianran, however, remained unmoved by the treasures and instead found a blueprint during her search.
She glanced down at it, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "Is this... a treasure map?"
As soon as the words fell lightly, all eyes turned to them.
It didn't fall on her, but on that thin sheet of paper.
What is the concept of a treasure map?
It's possible that a simple blueprint could contain countless locations where treasures are hidden.
As long as you collect them one by one, you could potentially earn tens of millions, hundreds of billions, or even become the richest person in the country!
With money, one can build influence, stand at the top of the world, and never have to take risks or be threatened again, living a life free from worries about food and clothing.
For a moment, greed appeared in the eyes of the group of explorers.
In the next instant, a figure darted out like a ghost, and before anyone could react, it "whooshed" in front of Yi Tianran and snatched the treasure map.
He seemed to have been prepared for this for a long time, and his speed was astonishing.
Before he could react, the treasure map was already in Chu Lin's hands. "Hahaha... Hahaha, I have finally found this priceless treasure! It was worth all the years of effort and sacrifices I made. In the end, it has finally come into my hands."
