Chapter 442 - Ancient Corpse in Stone Coffin (2/2)

The stone door fell with a crash after so about the passage and filling it Xia Lei had his oxygen mask on but he could still feel the wind of the blast on his face

He shone the light into the doorway of the tomb after the stone door collapsed He had learnt fromei’s tomb; he first used his X-ray vision on the floor and entered only after confirers

This tomei’s tomb but it was ems or jewellery, no exquisite porcelain There were just four crude-looking stone statues These stone statues looked like ancient warriors in ar swords and shi+elds

Behind the four stone warriors was a stone altar A stone coffin lay on that altar This was also not as fancy as Princess Yongmei’s - she had a jade coffin

Other than the four stone statues, there was just the stone coffin in the tomb This made it simple for Xia Lei to scan the area, and the needle of the co and tre at its limits

Xia Lei went up to the altar and used his X-ray vision on the stone coffin He opened it after confirer

A male corpse lay in the coffin, perfectly preserved Its skin looked like it still mei’s corpse had The male looked about 60 or 70 He was pluolden hair and a beard He was dressed in clothes too and the clothing was n It was impossible to tell which era it was fro in the stone coffin - a black pointer needle

“There’s another treasure location?” Xia Lei wrinkled his brows

Discovering another needle e the needle on the co to the next treasure location

The existence of the needle presented problems for Xia Lei but he still put the needle away Then, he opened the male corpse’s mouth and removed a piece of ancient alloy from his mouth

Weirdly, thisto powder after he had taken the alloy out of her ood shape and did not deteriorate

“Eh?” Xia Lei was very surprised “What’s going on?”

He called forth the power of his left eye and looked more deeply at the corpse His hair stood on end when he saas inside - this male corpse had several pieces of ancient alloy in the stomach!

No wonder the male corpse did not fall to dust when he removed the alloy from the mouth

‘Who the heck was this old mei had just one piece of alloy but this old ut Five pieces in all! He has no crown, no scepter, so he’s not so But this tomb is hidden under the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and in the same spot as where Jesus was laid to rest… Is he Jesus?’

Xia Lei was stunned by this thought

He disht in the end The Christian stories said that Jesus had been resurrected three days after his death There were no reht and pondered but could not guess this old h, and that was that this old man was from a time period before the Church of the Holy Sepulchre He was possibly from 300 years before Christ, someone important then, perhaps

Xia Lei then opened up the oldto cut into his flesh with a knife However, the sight of several strange drawings on the old man’s chest s were not tattoos, but sos were still clear and cos were of a flying bat, a square box, black, burning flaaze went to that box and he could not look away

He’d always suspected that those alloy pieces would form a box This hypothesis was confirmed now He could see the sa of the box, and the shape and size of the pieces aze to the bat and understood sos when I used s were draith the blood of that species of bat This bat species has a special power to nullify my X-ray vision’

Xia Lei looked at the arched stone door next and was puzzled ‘What is this arch? This was drawn on this old man’s body… Is it a sort of clue?’

Mysterious bats, mysterious box, mysterious door - hoere these three related?

If he collected all the alloy pieces and ?

These questions plagued Xia Lei and he racked his brains but could not find an answer

A few minutes later, he cut into the old man’s torso with a knife The sharp, cold blade separated the old man’s skin and flesh No blood came from the cut; the white corpse flesh was as soft as cheese and provided hardly any resistance

There was no sound in the to in a corner in the dark, as if cursing hi up the old ust as he pulled the four pieces of ancient alloy from the stomach

The old man’s corpse turned to dust instantly once the four alloy pieces left the sto crumbled with his body to become dust in the blink of an eye

Xia Lei did not leave the toht away He focused on one of the alloy pieces, and his left eye twitched…
