The thin Shadow Ghost Venerable glanced at the small coffin and seemed a little scared. He said loudly: "With a large tomb and coffin of this level, the people buried in it are definitely not ordinary experts. If we open it rashly, we may be in danger."

."

"Venerable Shadow Ghost, are you afraid?"

"I know that you practice the "Eight Methods of Ghost Shadow" and you like to talk about these weird gods, but if a person dies, no matter how powerful it is, what will happen? Is it possible to come back from the dead?"

"That is, no matter how powerful the master is, he is just a corpse now. Could it be that the corpse can do anything to us?"

Venerable Shadow Ghost's face became paler and he said, "But, I feel very uneasy."

"Venerable Shadow Ghost, if you are really scared, you don't have to participate. However, the contents of the small coffin are not yours." Gu Hanwu said with a smile.

"Yes, I would be happy to share the treasure with a few people."

"Venerable Shadow Ghost, I didn't expect you to be so timid! Haha!"

It seemed that he couldn't bear the ridicule and didn't want to give up the treasure. With a pale cheek, Venerable Shadow Ghost came closer.

The nine people looked at each other, nodded, and then worked together to lift the lid of the small coffin.

All nine people held their breath and concentrated, resisting the odds, and were ready to take action.

However, after the coffin lid was opened, there was no movement inside, and not even the cold air that everyone expected was leaked out.

"Uh, what's going on?"

Several people looked at each other with doubts on their faces, then stuck their heads out and looked into the small coffin.

And when they saw clearly what was inside the small coffin, they couldn't help but show surprise.

"This is--"

Because what is stored in the small coffin at this moment is not a corpse or a skeleton, but an arm, a thick right arm of a man.

This right arm, soaked in frost-white liquid, is well preserved, with clear muscle lines, and even the blood vessels and meridians under the muscles can be seen faintly.

At first glance, no one would doubt that this arm was just cut off from someone's body.

For a moment, the nine venerables also became curious.

"What's going on with this right arm?"

"Why is there not a body in the coffin, but just an arm?"

"Perhaps it was his enemies who deliberately cut his body into pieces and buried him here."

"I think this doesn't make sense. If it were an enemy, there would be no need to build such a luxurious tomb for him, with so many precious burial objects, and the extremely complicated magic circle outside."

"Ah, this-"

Venerable Thunder Bear, who was as strong as a bear, said impatiently: "What are you doing discussing these fruitless things? What we want to see now is whether there are any treasures. This is what we should be concerned about."

These words reminded the other eight people.

After all, their biggest expectation before opening the small coffin is to get the tomb owner's personal and cherished burial objects.

But now, in the small coffin, there is only one right arm and no complete body. There is no trace of the so-called personal burial objects.

Seeing this, several venerables couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"Is it true that there are no burial objects? This, hey -"

"No way, the funerary objects outside are all so precious. Isn't there even a treasure in the small coffin at the core?"

"Maybe it's blocked by my arms in there, or I'll look through it quickly." Someone suggested.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Shadow Ghost turned pale again, and immediately objected: "This is a great disrespect to the deceased. I suggest you don't move."

"Shadow Ghost, when did you become so cowardly?"

"That's right, when you were practicing your Eight Ghost Shadow Techniques, you probably dug into other people's graves a lot. Now you're afraid of this and that."

"We have found it all at the end. If we don't take a closer look, how can we be willing to accept it?"

………

Almost all of the other eight people opposed it.

Lord Shadow Ghost had no choice but to nod.

Therefore, the nine people gathered their energy, protected their right hands, went deep into the coffin, and took action together, pinching the thick right arm and preparing to take it out.

But, just when the nine people touched their right arms.

Lord Shadow Ghost suddenly shouted, with a look of horror on his face, "Ah!"

Others were also startled by Lord Shadow Ghost.

"Shadow Ghost, what's your ghost's name? You're so scary."

"Old ghost, are you okay? You were so shocked."

………

However, at this moment, Lord Shadow Ghost could not listen to the words of others at all, and said tremblingly: "Quick, run away. That arm just moved."

"Well--"

Several people were stunned at the same time, shuddered, and their expressions darkened.

"Shadow Ghost, what nonsense are you talking about? How can a dead man's arm move?"

"Shadow Ghost, what's wrong with you today? You've been acting weird ever since you came in."

"If you can't do it, then leave. Of course, if you find something, it won't be your share."

………

After several people complained, they turned around and prepared to continue picking up the arm.

However, when he tried again, the long-bearded Lord White Crane suddenly changed his expression and exclaimed, "The arm moved."

"Bai He, what did you say?"

"Venerable White Crane, are you crazy too?"

Others shouted harshly.

But, at this moment, there was a "swish" and a sound of water sounded.

Then, Venerable Thunder Bear's screams rang out.

"Quick, save me."

Others heard the cry and turned their heads, and then saw a scene that frightened them beyond measure.

In the coffin, the right arm suddenly reached out from the frost-white liquid, grabbed the wrist of Venerable Thunder Bear, and dragged him bit by bit towards the coffin.

Venerable Thunder Bear almost used all his strength to suck milk, stimulated his energy, and struggled hard.

But he still couldn't break free from that arm and felt that his body was being dragged bit by bit into the abyss of death.

"Cut off the arm, hurry up, hurry up!" Gu Hanwu was calm and spoke quickly.

In an instant, several venerables took action at the same time, condensing a stream of extremely sharp energy and slashing towards the arm with a whoosh.

However, when their energy struck the arm, it shattered instantly, without even damaging a single hair on the arm.

"How can this be so strong?"

"What on earth is this arm?"

Such a result made several venerables stunned for a moment.

But at this moment, his arm suddenly exerted force, and with a whoosh, he dragged Venerable Thunder Bear into the coffin.

The sturdy Thunder Bear Venerable could not fit into that small coffin based on his size.

However, the strange thing is that after being dragged in by the arm, Venerable Thunder Bear's entire body was directly integrated into the frost-white liquid, disappearing without a trace and without any breath.

The right arm, like a hungry beast, became excited after taking a bite of food. It jumped out of the coffin with a snap and grabbed several venerables.

Upon seeing this, Venerable Shadow Ghost, who was hiding furthest away, ran away with a look of horror on his face.

The remaining people also ran away.

However, the movement of the arm was not satisfactory. With a swish, it flew through the air and captured three people one after another. Like the Thunder Bear Venerable before, they were integrated into the frost-white liquid in the coffin.

The remaining five people escaped from the tomb in fear and began to run towards the exit without looking back.

As for Chen Fei, who fainted and died next to the coffin in the tomb, they were too preoccupied with themselves to think about it at all.

The five people ran wildly, and the arms behind them also followed them.

However, the arms seemed to be limited, and the speed slowed down when they were too far away from the tomb. In the end, they could only helplessly watch the five people escape, and returned to the tomb dejectedly.

Chen Fei, who was lying on the ground at this moment, actually did not faint.

Just now, when he was opening the coffin, the cold air inside the coffin blew into his face. He felt as if he was freezing and fainted instantly.

But, when the cold air invaded the body and threatened to freeze Chen Fei's internal organs.

The cold air touched the Yuan Seal in Chen Fei's lower abdomen, but merged into the World Tree Yuan Seal, allowing Chen Fei to escape the disaster.
