Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 237 7-Star Suspicious Coffin

"Don't claim it yet!"

After finishing the letter, Cheng Feng extinguished the undying dragon fire in King Mu of Zhou's mind with a thought.

At this moment, its head was spotless white, as if it had been washed.

It contrasted sharply with its jet-black body.

Seeing this, the four women knew that King Mu of Zhou was probably dead, so they all went to Cheng Feng's side.

"Old Cheng, he has made contributions to the course of Chinese history, so why not put him back in his coffin?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Wenjin made the suggestion.

Cheng Feng did not immediately agree, but his idea was a bit more complicated.

"He should indeed be put back in the coffin, but it would be more appropriate for him to lie back in his own real coffin."

As he spoke, Cheng Feng opened his Boundless Demon Eyes and put away the corpse in his hand.

"A real coffin?"

While the four women were puzzled, Cheng Feng turned around and put the large cauldron in the tomb into his pocket.

This thing is definitely a national treasure.

It's such a waste to leave it here.

After putting away the things he had taken a liking to, Cheng Feng explained to the girls:

"How could a noble king like him be buried in such a broken stone coffin?"

Let's keep going. I'll tell you the story when we get there.

Although Cheng Feng left some questions unanswered, they had actually guessed it.

Most likely, someone took him out of the coffin and then put themselves or someone else inside.

However, there are currently no clues as to who this person is.

The four women chatted as they followed Cheng Feng into the entrance next to the Underworld Palace.

This is still a tomb passage leading deep into the burial chamber.

On the way, Cheng Feng saw some nice stone candlesticks on both sides of the road, so he casually packed them all up and took them with him.

He planned to store them in the underground warehouse after returning home; he still had quite a few merman corpses, which would serve as eternal lamps.

"Look at your brother, he's started ripping people off again!"

Huo Ling whispered to A Xiang from behind.

Ah Xiang couldn't help but chuckle, tightly pursing her lips to keep herself from laughing out loud.

Cheng Feng suddenly turned around and tapped Huo Ling on the forehead.

Makes a crisp sound.

"Ouch~ That hurts!"

Huo Ling clutched her head and cried out in pain, to which Chen Wenjin and Yang Xueli both expressed schadenfreude.

While playfully joking around, the group walked through the tomb passage.

At the end was another completely sealed door.

Iron-Faced Man and King Lu Shang were at least self-aware; they had robbed King Mu of Zhou's tomb.

They put others at the door, but when it was their turn, they were extremely cautious.

They wish they could build a hundred or eighty gates to block the entrance completely.

Unfortunately, they probably never imagined that not only Wang Zanghai would come here in later generations, but Cheng Feng and his group would also come.

Wang Zanghai was relatively humane; he only placed a bronze fish with snake-shaped eyebrows in their tomb.

Not only did they leave without taking anything, they also restored the walls to their original state before leaving.

This old guy's moral bottom line is much stronger than Cheng Feng's.

Cheng Feng used the old method to open the stone door.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a spacious area, with a huge Big Dipper diagram hanging above the tomb chamber.

Below is a circular platform.

Seven coffins were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper on the platform.

"It's actually a Seven Star Suspicious Coffin. The tomb owner here was far too cautious."

After the four women entered, the beam of their flashlights illuminated the tomb chamber.

The condition of the seven coffins also came into their view.

Chen Wenjin immediately recognized the meaning behind the placement of the seven coffins; that's what makes a family of tomb raiders.

Is the "Seven-Star Suspension Coffin" a special type of funeral practice?

Cheng Feng sighed too soon. They were both from tomb-raiding families, yet one of them was completely ignorant and incompetent.

Helpless, Cheng Feng explained to Huo Ling:

"The key to the so-called Seven Star Coffins lies in the word 'doubt.' Generally speaking, only one of the seven coffins will be the true coffin of the tomb's occupant."

The other six were all equipped with lethal traps.

If tomb raiders open the wrong coffin, they're basically all doomed.

After listening to Cheng Feng's explanation, Huo Ling and A Xiang suddenly understood.

"Thank goodness, you don't need to open the coffin, so what are we waiting for? Let's pack everything up and take it all away!"

Cheng Feng nearly had a back injury from Huo Ling's thought process.

This girl is really getting more and more into his style; she's starting to do things in a simple and crude way.

"I don't accept trash here. None of these seven coffins are real; let's save them for someone who's destined to find them in the future!"

Chen Wenjin realized that she had been too naive; the tomb owner's caution was beyond her comprehension.

"Let's go. There should be burial goods in the side chamber. Let's loot it and then go to the next floor."

As he spoke, Cheng Feng pointed to the entrance to the side chamber next to him.

To prevent them from accidentally stepping on the trapdoor and getting separated, Cheng Feng specifically instructed them to follow his footsteps.

During this time, I also told them not to touch anything.

Soon the group entered the side room.

The view was filled with a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, as well as many bronzes, pottery, and ornaments.

"Our basement storage will be a bit more spacious now."

As he spoke, Cheng Feng swept everything away from the side room as quickly as autumn leaves.

Anyone who comes here will only assume that the tomb owner was poor and didn't put many burial items in the tomb.

"There's another side chamber nearby, shall we continue?"

Chen Wenjin pointed to the door and said.

"Of course we should take a look. Treasures are meant to be possessed by those who are destined to find them, and we are those destined to find them. It would be a waste of God's good intentions if we missed out on the treasures."

As they were talking, Cheng Feng led the way to another side room.

The four girls behind him followed Cheng Feng in a neat, orderly line, like elementary school students on a school trip with their teacher.

After looting all the treasures from the side chambers, the only decent thing left here is the Seven Star Suspicious Coffin.

Cheng Feng was finally satisfied and said to the children behind him:

"Let's go, let's move on to the next attraction."

Cheng Feng then walked to the corner, and from the echo of his footsteps, he could hear that there was nothing underneath.

When he got to a brick, Cheng Feng stepped on its edge.

The brick immediately sank to the bottom on one side and tilted upwards on the other.

"Trapdoor, I'll go down first, you all follow me one by one."

"Understood, Tour Guide Cheng!"

Cheng Feng didn't mind being called a tour guide. He stepped on the stone slab and jumped down.

The drop below was about two meters. After landing, Cheng Feng looked up.

Soon, Ah Xiang was the first to fall, letting out a scream in surprise.

Finally, Cheng Feng caught it steadily and placed it beside him.

The other three women were also held firmly by Cheng Feng, thus avoiding the fate of having their buttocks bruised and battered.

"A tomb within a tomb, but I have a feeling this place is older than the one above."

Chen Wenjin looked at the dilapidated walls and the exposed, rotten wooden stakes with a puzzled expression.

"The tomb above is a deliberately constructed mound, designed to conceal the real mausoleum below."

Cheng Feng glanced at the cracks in the surrounding walls and casually explained.

That's why King Lu Shang and Tie Miansheng were so cautious; they dug up King Mu of Zhou's tomb and then deliberately added another layer.

It's all for insurance.

Unfortunately, this little trick was easily seen through, not only by modern people, but even by Wang Zanghai.
