Chapter 314: Dragon Scale Knife, Dragon Vein Sword
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This stone room had clearly been carved out by man. It was squarish with nine meters on each side. It was about eighty square meters and was cold and mysterious.
There was nothing in the room save for the huge coffin. The coffin was made of bronze. It was six meters long, four meters wide and two meters high. It was placed right in the middle along the east-west direction.
Little White didn’t seem to care for the coffin. Perhaps she had seen too many of them in this valley. She stayed beside Ling Yun.
“Would there be a zombie inside?” Ling Yun hesitated, wondering whether to open the coffin.
This place was very close to the center of the spell formation. Ling Yun had been at his wit’s end since his spiritual energy was almost depleted. He could have lost his life if he had ventured further into the cave. There was no other place to rest.
Therefore, he had chosen to enter this stone room to replenish his spiritual energy before deciding on his next step.
His heart began to itch once he laid his eyes upon the coffin. He knew he would regret if he didn’t open this coffin.
How can I return empty-handed?! That’s not my style! Ling Yun smiled, gave a small prayer in his heart and proceeded to open the coffin.
Ling Yun had plenty of experience with dead people and zombies. There were no zombies that he couldn’t defeat with his Emperor Brush. There would be no problems as long as it was a one-on-one battle.
Ling Yun grabbed the plate of the coffin. He tried to lift it up only to find it was too heavy. It wasn’t something that could be moved with the strength of one hand.
“F*ck, so heavy?” Ling Yun frowned slightly and tried again, this time with both hands. It didn’t move in the slightest.
Of course it was heavy. The plate was twenty four square meters and had a thickness of a few centimeters. It was made of bronze and weighed several tons. At Physique Tempering Stage Level Three, it was impossible for Ling Yun to pick it up.
“Oof…” Ling Yun heaved a long sigh and adjusted his breathing. He then pressed the edge of the coffin with both hands and pushed with all his might!
It moved! At that instant, an endless brilliance blinded him from the gap he had created!
F*ck me! There are really treasures inside! Ling Yun was beside himself with joy. He pushed again with all his might and managed to move it further!
Hehe, these are luminescent pearls! There are so many of them! Ling Yun determined happily.
To be specific, this was an outer coffin.
The first things that had caught Ling Yun’s eyes were the hundreds of luminescent pearls. More than half of them were placed at the top, and the rest were at the bottom. They were all the same size. Each was as big as a dragon eye and was more dazzling than the stars in the sky.
I didn’t suffer for nothing. This trip will have been worth it even if my only reward is these luminescent pearls tonight! Ling Yun smirked.
In the middle of the outer coffin, there was the inner coffin, which was made of brass. The inner coffin was about two hundred and twenty centimeters long and more than a meter in width. It had vivid engravings of flowers, birds, fishes and worms. They were illuminated by the luminescent pearls.
There were two squarish wooden planks on both sides of the inner coffin. Ling Yun could clearly feel spiritual energy seeping out from them.
Excited by the presence of the spiritual energy, Ling Yun used his full might and managed to push the thick plate by half a meter. He then jumped into it.
Ling Yun grabbed the two long planks and ignored the luminescent pearls. He opened the plank on the right and found a knife.
Ling Yun picked it up and felt its solid weight. The knife weighed at least seventy or eighty pounds!
He studied it carefully and found a mesmerizing lively black dragon engraved on the scabbard.
Ling Yun nodded with satisfaction and pulled the knife out.
The knife was less than one meter long, but the widest part of the knife was perfect for the palms of an adult. The knife was sharp and smooth and its handle was simple and elegant. The engravings were delicate like the scales of a dragon. Above all, it had a black blade with a wavy blood grove. It exuded a chilling feeling from its cool beauty and a slightly murderous intent.
Ling Yun was thrilled. Just what I need!
Ling Yun grabbed the black knife and leapt out of the coffin. He went to the stone wall and slashed it!
“Ching!” The metal sang and slashed through the rock wall effortlessly. It was easier than slicing through tofu.
Haha! What a great knife! It’s mine now!
Since there are dragon scales on the knife, I’ll name you Dragon Scale Knife! Ling Yun snickered and stored it away in his spatial ring.
What could be in the other plank? Could it be a sword? I’ll be damn lucky if it is! Ling Yun jumped in again hopefully.
Ling Yun was right on the money! It was a sword three feet long and three fingers wide. The hilt was engraved with delicate dragon veins. Unlike the knife, the sword was white and dazzling under the light. Its sharpness could be discerned by the naked eye.
The only drawback was that it didn’t have a scabbard. Ling Yun held the sword in his hand and found it to be extremely light. Its blade had a natural arc.
Sh*t, it’s a light sword. It’s perfect for my Formless Sword Technique! Ling Yun tried it out ecstatically and found it perfect.
Alright, good, I’ll give you a name as well… Dragon Vein Sword!
This trip was indeed worthwhile. His Emperor Brush could finally take a backseat. It was mighty, but it wasn’t very useful in certain situations.
“The vampire bats are bound to suffer when I reenter the cave. With the Dragon Scale Knife and Dragon Vein Sword by my side, I am sure that they won’t even be able to get close to me!”
Ling Yun set his sights on the luminescent pearls once he calmed down. Those were treasures. It would be such a waste to leave them in such a place.
Ling Yun felt around the coffin and knew that there was not much spiritual energy in it. He addressed the coffin directly, “I don’t know who you are, but I won’t touch your body since you’ve gifted me these splendid weapons. I’ll take the luminescent pearls with me as well since they are useless down here.”
Ling Yun stored ninety nine luminescent pearls from the coffin unceremoniously into the spatial ring. He kept one in his hand as lamp.
This was the best loot he had gotten so far from the crater. He didn’t even have to deal with zombies to obtain the weapons. Ling Yun was so happy that he even put the coffin plate back to its original position.
Ling Yun held the luminescent pearl in his hand and surveyed the rest of the stone room. It seemed like that was as far as his luck went. There were no more hidden doors.
It seemed like a sealed off stone room. Ling Yun didn’t know how the person resting in this tomb found this place to bury himself, but he knew that he must have been a Xiantian Realm martial artist at the very least.
“Little White, it seems like we can only resume our fight. Do you remember the cave at the side of this stone room? We’re heading there now.”
Little White nodded. She was in great spirits as well. She felt happy that Ling Yun was happy.
“We have the upper hand this time! Let’s go kill some vampire bats!” Ling Yun said.
Ling Yun put the luminescent pearl in the pocket of his shirt so that he could see. With the Dragon Vein Sword in his right hand and the Dragon Scale Knife in his left, he smiled and said to Little White, “You just need to stay close to me. We’ll give theoe stinky bats a good run for their money!”
Ling Yun was about to press the stone button and head out when he heard cries, screams, and then intensive gunshots.
Other people actually made it down here! Ling Yun’s heart sank.
The footsteps outside were cluttered and messy. The sounds were occasionally accompanied by screams and gunshots.
I guess all of them will perish here. Ling Yun shook his head without the slightest intention of extending a helping hand.
Whoever dared to venture into the crater had to be prepared for such a scenario. Ling Yun didn’t have any obligation to protect them.
In less than five minutes, silence returned to the cave.
“Hmph…” Ling Yun snorted, pressed the mechanism and dashed out with Little White!
