Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 211 – No, I Don’t Plan To Open It

Chapter 211: No, I Don’t Plan To Open It

Wei Huo walked over and saw some huge spider webs. The golden armor was trembling while hiding on top of the cave. Not far away, there was a faint light.

Wei Huo walked in and realized that the light was emitted by a gem. The gem was embedded in a wall, and there seemed to be a painting on the wall. Wei Huo walked in and observed it closely. He realized that there were dyed reliefs on the wall. They depicted all sorts of birds and beasts. There were also many terrifying monsters that Wei Huo could not name.

These monsters had fangs in their mouths and looked ferocious. Some of them had several eyes on their bodies. It seemed like the golden armor was afraid of these reliefs.

The cave was dim. If one was not careful, one could get a shock.

The golden armor came down from the top of the cave and let out a sigh of relief when it saw the reliefs. “It’s a relief mural!”

Not only were there monsters on the mural, but there were also humans. However, they were all wearing animal skins and holding spears. They looked like savages.

The mural seemed to be narrating an ancient story. However, due to the passage of time, most of the colors had faded, leaving only a few colors behind.

Wei Huo continued walking along the murals, which were spaced apart. There was also a dim luminous pearl illuminating the mural, allowing him to see what was on it.

There were a total of nine murals in the tunnel. The first mural contained a lot of content. It seemed to be telling the stories of human hunters in ancient times. However, there were also some extremely powerful creatures on the mural. Based on their size, those creatures were at least Epic-ranked creatures. Humans were no match for those creatures.

Indeed, the second mural showed ancient humans being hunted by these Epic-ranked creatures. However, from the third mural onward, the humans seemed to be counterattacking.

Wei Huo saw a tall and burly man on the third mural. He was holding a lance and fighting beasts. Wei Huo looked at him for a long time and realized that there should be a circle of imposing aura around him. However, due to the passage of time, the paint had faded and he could only see a faint outline.

The golden armor’s expression was grave as it said, “The wall is mixed with the essence of Breathing Earth. Logically speaking, it should be able to regenerate indefinitely. Unfortunately, it has been too long!”

The golden armor was very familiar with these materials. It could recognize all kinds of ores and materials at first glance.

Starting from the fourth mural, the people began to counterattack. A large number of experts had been born in ancient times and had begun hunting Epic-ranked beasts.

On the seventh mural, Wei Huo saw a human ascending the platform while others were kowtowing before him.

“He became Legendary!” Wei Huo blurted out. This person had definitely become a Legendary creature!

However, good things did not last long. The eighth mural did not record the story of mankind’s rise. Instead, it recorded the scene of the Legendary human’s death. Countless people knelt on the ground and cried. They were sad. In the distance, a few people were carrying a huge coffin and walking.

No one could save him now that his lifespan was over.

The golden armor felt that something was amiss. It said, “Why do I feel like this is a huge tomb?”

Wei Huo thought about it carefully. “There are nine levels in total. 95 is a number that depicts supremacy, right?”

Since ancient times, 95 had been a very unique number. People usually associated the number to the most respected person in an era—the emperor.

The golden armor was terrified. “Could it be a tomb of some Legendary-level entity?”

Wei Huo continued walking and arrived in front of the ninth mural. He saw a shocking scene. There were no humans depicted on the mural. Instead, there were all sorts of humanoid beasts. There were countless monsters in the sky and on the ground!

The golden armor was stunned as well as it mumbled, “There is an infinite number of Legendary-level creatures. What does this mural mean?”

The nine murals ended there. In front of them was a huge door. A faint voice came from the door. It seemed like a woman’s sad voice.

The golden armor’s hair stood on end when it heard that voice. “It’s a female ghost!”

Wei Huo glanced at it. “You’re not human. Why are you afraid of ghosts?”

If a hollow armor flew around, it made it no different from a ghost. If it went out for a walk, it would definitely scare children.

The golden armor could not forget girls. However, after hearing this terrifying sound, it became afraid again. It was more human-like than a human.

Wei Huo grabbed its collar and pushed it in front of him while pushing the door with his other hand.

The golden armor struggled. “What are you doing? Let me go! This is a Legendary-level tomb. There must be a trap. I don’t want to die!”

However, Wei Huo had already pushed open the door. A tremendous aura of death spread out of it. The golden armor shouted, “The aura of death is really strong! One look and you can tell that this is a dangerous place. You will die if you enter!”

Wei Huo did not stop it. Instead, he encouraged it. “Keep talking!”

The golden armor shouted, “There must be a dangerous trap inside! There might even be ghosts!”

Wei Huo praised it. “Indeed, entering the tomb requires a genius armor like you who says the exact opposite to achieve the desired outcome. Don’t stop, continue!”

Wei Huo still remembered the group of Naga bragging about their victory in the Immortal Tomb. However, Wei Huo had not gained anything.

He continued pushing the golden armor forward. Soon, he saw a red wooden coffin. The golden armor said in fear, “Big dumplings! There must be big dumplings inside. Have you prepared the black dog’s blood? Did you slice off a black donkey’s hoof beforehand[1]?”

Wei Huo was speechless. How could a Legendary-level armor be so weak when it had a domain that could disperse attacks? Wasn’t it supposed to fight bloody battles on the battlefield?

“I freaking wonder if you are someone who accidentally transmigrated into armor,” Wei Huo said.

The golden armor suddenly fell silent. Moments later, the golden armor said, “The coffin can’t be opened randomly. We have to light a candle in the southeast corner and worship the dead. After all, this is where the dead are buried.”

Wei Huo glanced at it. “No, I’m not planning to open it.”

Before Wei Huo could finish his sentence, the golden armor said, “If the candle is extinguished, no matter how many items you obtain, you will have to put them back. You won’t be able to take them away.”

Wei Huo stressed again, “I don’t plan on opening it.”

The golden armor interrupted him. “You have to be careful. You can’t destroy the owner’s corpse.”

Wei Huo: “…”

You have thought things through, haven’t you?

Wei Huo did not do anything, but the golden armor did. It used its Domain Force and lifted the coffin lid. The corpse inside suddenly sat up for some reason.

Wei Huo was surprised that the golden armor was not frightened this time.

Moments later, the trembling voice of the golden armor was heard. “Help me up. It seems like my legs can’t move anymore.”

It was so terrified that it could not move.

Wei Huo walked over and slapped it away. “What kind of legs do you have?”

The golden armor only had half a body and no legs.

Wei Huo looked at the corpse. Perhaps it was due to the pressure inside the coffin or something else, but the coffin had opened too quickly. The corpse had sat up, but there was no Divine Sense at all.

Wei Huo took a look. The corpse was still well-preserved, but its facial features were sunken. It was wearing impressive armor, a sky crown on its head, a golden coat, a pair of soaring cloud shoes on its feet, and a jade pendant around its waist, and there was a jade pearl in its mouth. Its entire body was filled with valuable treasures.
