1233 I Want to Make You Stay 111 (1/2)
She cast the rope upward with all her might and managed to hook it onto the rod successfully. She began scaling the stone wall while supporting herself with the rope.
Wall-scaling was her forte. Thus, she did not feel afraid at all.
However, it would still require energy to climb up. Thus, she expended a great ton of energy while climbing to the top from the bottom.
An Xiaoning was panting heavily by the time she finally made it to the top.
She looked down to see that she was rather high above ground, and she would definitely sustain severe injuries if she were to fall off.
She gathered all her energy and leaped up. She finally landed on the thick metal rod. She pressed both hands against the stone bricks and got on her feet slowly.
She could finally see the coffin.
She instantly realized why it was glowing.
It was not made of wood at all.
Instead, it was made of translucent gems that would emit a bright luminescent glow when accumulated in large amounts.
An Xiaoning could tell that it must have been costly.
An Xiaoning tried to open the coffin. She initially thought that it would be tough to do so. However, she managed to move the lid to the side effortlessly.
She channeled all her attention onto the space inside the coffin, not allowing herself to be distracted at all.
She wanted to see just what the corpse looked like.
An Xiaoning wanted to know the age, gender, size, and appearance of the corpse.
To her astonishment, it was empty.
Empty!
There was nothing inside at all.
Why wouldn't there be a corpse inside?
There were several items inside the empty coffin, which made An Xiaoning think that there definitely used to be a corpse inside.
The color and print of the fabric of the pillowcase had already faded.
There were also lots of bottles and porcelain ornaments inside the coffin, as well as some gold and jade.
They are all very valuable. Where did the corpse go?
Is this coffin just a bait to ward off tomb raiders?
Was their intention to make the tomb raiders think that the corpse had been stolen?
And then leave with the jewelry?
Was there really a corpse here?
Or has it already mutated?
What on earth happened?
She could not wrap her head around it.
An Xiaoning put the lid back on with a sullen expression on her face. Just as she was about to make her way back down, she suddenly heard laughter coming from below. An Xiaoning looked down to see that there was a man dressed in a military uniform who was looking up at her.
The laughter had come from him.
