Chapter 231: Chapter 175: We Will Deal with It According to the Law! (5000-Word Chapter)_3

Vines were everywhere, spreading over the stone walls densely, like tentacles.

In front, there emerged a stone platform, covered with dust, debris, and some insects crawling around.

Behind the stone platform stood a gigantic old tree, its branches climbing the stone walls, assuming strange shapes under the bright illumination.

“So it really does exist.”

Qin Sisi murmured softly, but the vines and old tree here did not, as described in Lin Chuan’s novel, possess any aggressiveness or extreme danger.

“There is an altar here!” Professor Qi’s eyes brightened, and he quickly strode over.

The others also gathered around.

“Qin, there’s only a sacrificial altar here, nothing else. The main tomb we’re looking for hasn’t appeared yet,” Old Yao said with a trace of doubt on his face, looking at Qin Sisi and asking.

To be precise, to the stone wall behind it.

And then,

Whirr, whirr, whirr—

The sounds of chains dragging and grating against stone filled the air endlessly.

Crack!

The strange tree suddenly split open with a large fissure.

Everyone immediately looked over.

They saw within the fissure a massive ancient bronze coffin.

Around it, several chains wrapped around the ancient bronze coffin several times and were fastened to the stone wall, integrated with the strange tree.

“So it’s here!”

Old Yao swallowed hard, his eyes glittering with excitement, his face full of joy.

Professor Qi and the other archaeological workers were also shocked, staring at the ancient bronze coffin.

The coffin was covered with densely packed patterns, forming bizarre designs,
