GOR Chapter 575 Very Powerful Sword

There were two passageways within the hall which led to the basement. One of them was an elevator that was constructed much later – now that the place had become an instance dungeon, it was only natural that the elevator had disappeared.

The other one was a spiral staircase made of stone. Walking down the spiral staircase, they could feel the dampness and gloom in the air.

Chen Xiaolian had a tactical flashlight in his left hand while his right held onto Soo Soo. The two of them went down the stairs together.

As there was only one flashlight to serve as a source of illumination within the darkness, their surroundings gave off a rather terrifying atmosphere. However, the two of them had gone through many instance dungeons and the atmosphere, which would have terrified a child was nothing to them. Rather, Soo Soo had curiously reached out with her hand to feel the wall.

“It is a little moist.” The little girl flicked her hand and wiped them on the edges of Chen Xiaolian’s clothes. There was a look of distaste on her face. Chen Xiaolian responded with a smile.

They moved down along the stairs for a long time. When they finally came to the end of the stairs, they found an empty lair. The basement was not too high – considering the standard of the structures made hundreds of years ago, there was no way for them to make this underground basement large. A few stone pillars rose upward, supporting the space that was tens of metres wide. The stone pillars also appeared somewhat aged, mottled with various colours.

There was a row of bronze pipes on the wall of the basement. Judging by the looks of it, they must be used for communication.

Chen Xiaolian walked over and lightly rapped the surface of the bronze pipe. The pipe shuddered.

“Sounds should be able to travel upstairs.”

Walking forward, they noticed a wooden double leaf door. The door’s bronze handles had gone to rust and the surface of the door was covered with dust. It was obvious that the doors had not been opened for a long time.

Soo Soo glanced at Chen Xiaolian. “What could be behind the door?”

Chen Xiaolian smiled. He walked forward and pushed open the doors with a smile on his face. “Since there is the legend of vampires here, this will likely be something related to that. Who knows? There might be a coffin with a thousand-year-old vampire inside it.”

By the time he finished those words, the doors had been fully opened. At that moment, the two of them grew stiff from shock.

Beyond the door was a room, not too large in size. Damp floor tiles beneath and red velvet curtains on the wall – however, most of the curtains have gone to rot.

Shockingly, there in the centre, on a hexagonal stone platform, was a coffin.

It was the Western, with a slight rhombus shape type of coffin.

The two of them were momentarily stunned. They exchanged glances. The look in Soo Soo’s eyes clearly conveyed the words: You actually guessed it right?

Chen Xiaolian, on the other hand, stopped smiling. His face took on a grim countenance.

He quickly pulled Soo Soo to stand behind him. At the same time, he retrieved a sword from his Storage Watch.

It was an ordinary steel sword. He could feel the weight of the sword in his hand. It was the Western type of knightly sword and was both wide and heavy, a double-edged sword suitable for both hacking and slashing.

With one hand holding onto the flashlight and the other the sword, Chen Xiaolian carefully took several steps forward. As he did so, his eyes stared intently at the coffin on the stone platform.

After taking a few steps forward, he suddenly blurted out, “Eh?”

Soo Soo ran forward and stood beside Chen Xiaolian. She pointed at the coffin and said, “It looks like it is empty?”

It was empty.

The cover of the coffin on the stone platform had been opened and placed aside. As for the coffin, it was empty save for a layer of rotten, black coloured velvet cloth.

Other than that, it would appear that there was nothing else there.

Chen Xiaolian narrowed his eyes and observed the coffin for a moment. After pondering the situation for a few seconds, he kept the flashlight. Instead, he pulled out a handful of glow sticks from his Storage Watch. Flicking them, he then casually tossed them all around. In just moments, the room was illuminated with light.

Although the green coloured light from the sticks was somewhat eerie, it was enough to light up the room.

“Ah! Look at the cover of the coffin!”

Scratch marks could be seen on the cover of the coffin, criss-crossing each other. Earlier, they were unable to clearly see it due to the darkness of the room. Now however, thanks to the illumination provided by the glow sticks, everything had become clear. Coarse, fine, there were tens of those scratch marks, a terrifying sight.

Chen Xiaolian extended his finger to feel them a few times before whispering out, “It is done using a sharp item. I fear there may be more than one of those sharp items.”

“Xiaolian oppa, look here.”

Soo Soo suddenly spoke up and she pointed with her hand.

Chen Xiaolian turned to look at what she was pointing at. He crouched down and looked at the floor. Surprisingly, there were several long, black coloured items on the floor. He leaned closer to examine them… …

“It looks like, nails?”

Those were obviously nails. However, they were all black in colour with the hardness of iron and sharpness of a knife. However, all of them had been cut off by something. The cut off area revealed that it had been cleanly cut off.

“And the walls.” Soo Soo looked around and quickly said.

Truth be told, there was no need for Soo Soo to tell him about that. Chen Xiaolian had already noticed it.

Shockingly, there were gouge marks on all four walls.

Chen Xiaolian walked along the walls in a circle. After spending some time examining the walls, he closed his eyes and pondered for a few seconds. Then, he gave a long sigh.

“What a powerful sword aura!”

…

Phoenix dashed into one of the buildings serving as a barracks. It did not take long for her to quickly make her way out again.
