"Let's go, open the treasure chest."
Jiang Chen looked calmly at Qian Xingtianxia.
"Mortal World, the owner of that voice we heard earlier hasn't shown up yet. Could it be..."
Qian Xingtianxia, though not very skilled, was extremely cautious in his actions.
He felt that rushing forward could be dangerous.
"Not everyone can open that treasure chest."
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and said, "Why don't you give me the treasure map?"
"No need to trouble you, Mortal World."
Qian Xingtianxia chuckled awkwardly and then looked at Zainxia Faye. "Old Faye!"
"Young Master Qian, this..."
Zainxia Faye looked troubled and said with a frown, "God Chen is right, even if I go, I might not be able to open it."
"Stop talking nonsense, just go!"
Qian Xingtianxia waved his hand, leaving no room for refusal.
"Yes, Young Master Qian."
Zainxia Faye, with a look of helplessness, slowly walked towards the inner chamber at the end of the underground palace.
He reached the door of the inner chamber and carefully observed the interior.
"Stop dawdling, hurry up!"
Qian Xingtianxia shouted impatiently.
"Hmph!"
Zainxia Faye snorted inwardly but hid his expression well. He gritted his teeth and quickly entered the inner chamber.
Soon, he arrived in front of a dark red treasure chest, two to three meters long and over a meter high.
He found the inner chamber to be quite spacious and seemingly devoid of danger.
Just as he placed his hands on the chest, ready to open it.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
"Wait!"
Qian Xingtianxia's voice rang out as he shouted to Zainxia Faye, "I'll open it!"
Indeed, he didn't trust the latter completely.
If Zainxia Faye took the contents of the chest and turned against him, it wouldn't be impossible.
Never test a person with profit.
Qian Xingtianxia understood this well.
He quickly moved forward, entered the inner chamber, and after confirming there was no danger, he slowly approached the treasure chest.
At this moment, Zainxia Faye silently watched the chest, his eyes flickering with various emotions.
To say he wasn't coveting the chest would be a lie.
Although he gained many benefits from Qian Xingtianxia.
And he understood the difference between a full meal and a feast.
However, if this meal was substantial enough, Zainxia Faye wouldn't hesitate to make a move on the treasure chest!
But for now, he didn't know what was inside the chest, so there was no need to take risks.
Zainxia Faye stood aside, silent, trying hard to hide his inner thoughts.
But no matter how well he hid it, the heat in his eyes still revealed his intentions.
"Interesting."
Jiang Chen also walked to the door of the inner chamber, able to see the restraint and desire in Zainxia Faye's eyes.
Meanwhile, Qian Xingtianxia was eagerly gazing at the chest. He took a deep breath and then slowly reached out to open it.
Instantly, dazzling beams of light shot out from the chest.
It was as if the rising sun had emerged, casting countless rays of light.
It was so bright that it was hard to keep one's eyes open.
"Is there a sun inside?"
Jiang Chen squinted his eyes and quipped.
He was very curious about what was inside that caused such a commotion.
Soon, the light dimmed.
Everyone's vision returned to normal.
Qian Xingtianxia stared into the chest, his eyes blank, his expression one of shock and confusion.
Beside him, Zainxia Faye couldn't wait to look into the treasure chest.
His expression was also filled with surprise and puzzlement.
"What the heck is this?"
Zainxia Faye was at a loss for words.
"Why is this thing inside the treasure chest?"
Qian Xingtianxia was equally baffled.
At the doorway.
Seeing their expressions, Jiang Chen frowned, equally puzzled.
What could it be to cause such reactions?
Unable to contain his curiosity, Jiang Chen quickly moved forward to the large dark red treasure chest.
Then, he focused his gaze.
Inside the opened chest lay a two-meter-long rectangular black box.
Or rather, a coffin!
A coffin inside the treasure chest?
Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned, unable to comprehend.
How could it be so strange?
"Open the coffin," Jiang Chen immediately said.
"Open the coffin?"
Qian Xingtianxia turned to look at Jiang Chen, his eyes showing fear.
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.
"Yes, Mortal World is right!"
With that, Qian Xingtianxia mustered his courage, bent down, and reached out his hand.
As soon as his hands touched the coffin lid.
"Boom!"
A dull sound echoed.
The coffin lid automatically flipped open!
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed, and he quickly stepped back a few paces.
Qian Xingtianxia stood in front of the chest, staring inside in shock, his voice trembling, "It's... it's a corpse!"
"Isn't a coffin supposed to have a corpse?"
Jiang Chen replied.
Seeing that Qian Xingtianxia was unharmed, he immediately took a step forward, ready to see what was inside.
Suddenly, a change occurred!
Zainxia Faye, who had been watching the chest, made his move upon seeing the contents of the coffin!
[Player "Zainxia Faye" has left the party!]
With the system's notification, a gray scroll appeared in Zainxia Faye's hand, which he quickly unfurled.
A spiral pattern, like a mosquito coil, flew out from the scroll, expanded to several meters, and landed on the ground.
"What are you doin..."
Qian Xingtianxia reacted, but before he could finish.
A dizziness icon appeared above his head, and he couldn't move!
Not far behind Qian Xingtianxia, Jiang Chen was also covered by the spiral pattern.
[You have been stunned, duration: 3 seconds!]
"A control-type magic scroll?"
Jiang Chen looked at the stun buff on himself, his eyes narrowing.
This thing wasn't cheap!
What was in the coffin that warranted such a costly move?
Jiang Chen was filled with curiosity about Zainxia Faye's actions.
"This Undying Clan servant is mine!"
Zainxia Faye shouted, his face flushed.
He quickly reached out towards the corpse in the coffin.
"But, the stun doesn't work on me."
Jiang Chen muttered softly, his body glowing with golden light.
Then, a white light fell on Zainxia Faye.
