At this moment, Wang Liang's scalp was numb and his whole body was shivering. He called the system but got no response.
"System, you, if you don't come out and say something, I will leave, and you won't get what you are looking for!"
Just when Wang Liang couldn't help but want to turn around and run away, he heard a harsh and heavy friction sound coming from behind.
That was the sound of the bronze coffin being opened.
Bang-dang——!
The moment the bronze coffin lid fell to the ground, an evil aura filled the air, the temperature on the high platform dropped sharply, and the surrounding candlesticks shook violently.
Wang Liang was about to turn around and leave, but he stayed in place stiffly.
It wasn't that he wanted to stay, but the blood all over his body seemed to have condensed, and a cold air enveloped him, as if he was in an extremely cold environment, and his whole body was frozen.
At the same time, Wang Liang saw the two rows of steps below, and the bronze beast-like sculptures moving in unison.
The golden-winged tiger flapped its wings, the three male lions licked their paws, the nine-legged golden crow shook its legs, the six-armed yaksha shook its neck...
But they all have one most unified action, which is to turn their heads and stare at Wang Liang with their lifeless bronze eyes!
However, this is not the end.
Click, click, click...
Wang Liang heard the sound of bones exploding beans not far away from him, and the bronze giants standing at the four corners of the high platform also moved.
Such a scene was so terrifying and weird that huge fear exploded in Wang Liang's heart;
'How, how is it possible... I have clearly examined these bronze objects with my spiritual sense, and they are completely lifeless. Why...'
Before Wang Liangliang could finish thinking about the doubts in his mind, a picture automatically appeared in his mind.
A hand covered with green fur came out of the bronze coffin and pressed against the edge of the coffin.
The person in the coffin slowly stood up. It was a mummy with a rotted nose, leaving only two holes, and the eyeballs embedded in the eye sockets, as if they would fall down at any time.
If you compare the distant ancestors of the Xu family with him, they will be dwarfed by the giants. There is no comparison at all. This is the real mummy!
The moment his consciousness saw the mummy, Wang Liang felt as if steel nails were embedded in his brain. He almost fainted from the pain, and the picture was shattered.
He opened his eyes wide, large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and opened his mouth in pain, but could not make a sound.
'You can't stay here, you will die, you really will die...'
With only this thought left in his head, Wang Liang's facial muscles twitched and his chewing muscles bulged, trying hard to break through the suppression of invisible forces and regain his freedom.
Snap!
Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and hit the ground.
Wang Liang's eyes bulged, veins bulged on his forehead, cheeks, and neck, and his muscles all over his body spasmed violently.
But even so, he still failed to break through the suppression of invisible forces.
After a few seconds of silence, the first footsteps came from behind.
The mummy left the bronze coffin and was slowly walking towards Wang Liang.
When Wang Liang was almost in despair, the footsteps stopped and a hoarse and low voice reached his ears.
"You finally came..."
This voice was mixed with complex sighs, just like an old friend whom I hadn't seen for a long time, but when I met again, the person was completely different, and there was endless sadness.
All the moving bronze objects prostrated towards the mummy, full of piety, as if they were kneeling to worship the gods.
The cold and terrifying aura quickly converged, like an ebbing tide.
Soon Wang Liang was shocked to find that his body had regained its ability to move.
But he did not run away again. First, he did not dare to act rashly, fearing that the mummy would be harmful to him.
Judging from the pressure I felt earlier, this mummy has at least as much cultivation as the head of the Xingyu Sect.
That is the realm of Nascent Soul Realm of Great Perfection!
In the face of such a powerful being, with Wang Liang's current level of cultivation, running away would be the stupidest thing to do.
It was even more stupid than when he was still in the Qi Sea realm and ran away in front of the Golden Core realm.
The second is that Wang Liang felt that the mummy was not too hostile to him. Apart from the terrifying coercion it exuded when it first appeared, it made no other moves.
Now that coercion has dissipated, it must have been released accidentally before, and was not intended to be used against him.
Otherwise, for such a powerful being who turned into a mummy, he could probably finish it off with just a breath, so why bother with it.
After thinking about this, Wang Liang quickly calmed himself down and thought about how to deal with it next.
'This mummy has been talking to me since just now. Could it be that he recognized the wrong person?'
'No matter how much, even if he really admits his mistake, I have to find a way to fool him, and then find an opportunity to escape...'
Before Wang Liang could think for too long, the mummy spoke again;
"You're here to retrieve that thing, right... Anyway, it's been so long and it should have been returned to you long ago."
As he spoke, the mummy took off its tattered clothes, revealing its shriveled and mutilated body.
Question marks popped up on Wang Liang’s head;
'Something? What?'
Subconsciously, he turned around and looked at the mummy.
I saw that the chest of the mummy collapsed, and there was a hole directly in the right chest.
The outlines of the ribs appeared one by one under the thin skin, and some were obviously broken. The fractures penetrated the skin and exposed many inches of white bone.
The abdomen was even worse, it was black and messy, and was so shriveled that it almost reached the back.
puff--!
Suddenly, the mummy raised his palm and stabbed into his only intact left chest cavity.
After digging through it for a long time, I took out something, not a heart, but a clear-colored stone.
As soon as this stone appeared, Wang Liang immediately felt something.
This is a heritage gravel... No, it is not an ordinary heritage gravel.
It is an inheritance gravel that is even more special than all the inheritance gravels I got before.
Because as soon as this stone came out, Wang Liang felt that all the inheritance gravels he had recovered were expressing a sense of piety towards it.
Just like those moving bronze objects, the piety of kneeling before the mummy.
Wang Liang was shocked, and at the same time he also realized that the mummy was not talking to him from beginning to end.
It's talking to the system in his body!
Sure enough, after seeing the jade-like crystal-like inheritance rubble, the system finally started to move;
[Ding! Please ask the host to get the inheritance crystal back and find a suitable opportunity before assisting in recycling it. 】
Wang Liang moved slightly and thought;
‘I didn’t just recycle it on the spot, I had to find a suitable opportunity, and sure enough, this inheritance rubble...oh, no, it’s an inheritance crystal, it’s very unique.’
Although there was a system prompt, Wang Liang was still a little afraid of the mummy. He wanted to get it, but he didn't dare to reach out.
At this time, the mummy held the inheritance crystal with both hands and spoke in a hoarse voice;
"I hope that the Immortal Lord will recover as soon as possible. I am truly lucky to have followed the Immortal Lord, and I will never regret it..."
With that said, the moment the inheritance crystal left him, the mummy instantly turned into a cloud of ash and dissipated, leaving no trace behind.
Wang Liang was stunned while holding the inheritance crystal;
