This was a sarcophagus. Chen Ze gently opened the lid of the sarcophagus. Chen Ze and Zhang Qiling's eyes widened and their beads rolled down.
"I'll go...it's so disgusting!" Zhang Qiling couldn't help but complain.
"Don't you feel disgusted? I was so scared that I almost peed." Chen Ze said.
Zhang Qiling: "Wait a minute, I'll think of a solution!"
Chen Ze: "Oh, what are you thinking of?"
Zhang Qiling closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking.
After a few seconds, Zhang Qiling opened his eyes and said: "I thought of it, we can dig a hole. I remember you have dug a hole in a hole before, why don't we try it!"
"Well, this is a good idea, but we don't have the tools, how can we dig it?" Chen Ze asked.
Zhang Qiling was silent, she had forgotten about this.
"It doesn't matter, there are leaves, use them as shovels." Zhang Qiling said, picking up a branch and cleaning off the dead leaves on it, revealing a piece of wood at the bottom.
Afterwards, Zhang Qiling handed the piece of wood into Chen Ze's hands.
"You want to use leaves as shovels!" Chen Ze was speechless. This Zhang Qiling's brain circuit is really amazing.
"This is the only choice. Let's hurry up!" Zhang Qiling urged.
Chen Ze nodded, then picked up the dagger and pointed it at a tree and started digging a hole.
Chen Ze was very strong and could dig holes very quickly, digging a half-meter hole in three to five seconds.
"How long will it take?" Zhang Qiling asked anxiously.
"You're not asking me to keep digging holes, are you?" Chen Ze looked at Zhang Qiling doubtfully. This digging has almost become Chen Ze's habitual action.
"How long do you need to dig? The soil underground is so soft, so it probably won't take too much time." Zhang Qiling continued.
"I'll hurry up, otherwise I'll be in trouble if I encounter any mechanism. After all, we can't confirm what this mechanism is now. If I guess wrong, we're done!" Chen Ze said.
Zhang Qiling also agreed with Chen Ze's idea, "Okay!"
After Zhang Qiling finished speaking, he sat on the ground to recover his strength.
While Chen Ze worked hard, he paid attention to the surrounding environment to prevent other dangers.
But this time Chen Ze didn't dig for long when he heard Zhang Qiling shouting: "Wait a minute, there is a sound!"
Chen Ze quickly stopped and looked around cautiously, but nothing strange happened.
Zhang Qiling stood there, "Can you hear the sound?"
"Are you sure there is a sound? It doesn't look like there is a sound here." Chen Ze looked at Zhang Qiling suspiciously.
"I am sure there is a sound. If you dig another hole, I will hear the sound coming from inside!" Zhang Qiling vowed.
Chen Ze could only do as he was told. This time, Chen Ze dug very deep, half a meter deep. Then Chen Ze stopped and said, "Did you hear me now?"
"Well, you dug very deep. Listen, there is the sound of water flowing inside." Zhang Qiling said excitedly.
Chen Ze also listened carefully, and there was indeed the sound of water flowing. "Where did this sound of water come from? Is it possible that there is a river below?"
Chen Ze couldn't help but guess.
"No, I feel the temperature of the flames, which is the residual heat caused by the eruption of an active volcano." Zhang Qiling said.
"Crater?" Chen Ze asked.
Not sure, but I am sure this is not magma!" Zhang Qiling added as he spoke.
Chen Ze thought for a moment and said, "That's underground lava. If it's underground lava, don't worry!"
The temperature of underground lava is very high, even reaching hundreds of degrees, and the density of lava is relatively high, so it is easy to explode.
If this was a cave formed by the eruption of an active volcano, with active volcanic ash inside, it would be unbearable for most people. "Then do we still want to continue exploring?" Zhang Qiling asked.
"Explore, since there is underground lava, it means there is likely to be treasures in this ancient tomb!" Chen Ze said.
The two discussed it for a while before deciding to take the risk.
Chen Ze picked up a bundle of dry grass and piled it in the pit, then used a dagger to hollow out the soil, finally forming a pit. "Let's go, let's jump down."
Zhang Qiling jumped in without saying a word, and Chen Ze also jumped in. However, the pit was relatively shallow. When Chen Ze jumped in, he stepped on the air and fell straight down.
“Poof!”
There was a loud noise, and Chen Ze hit the ground directly, and Zhang Qiling also fell to the side. However, Zhang Qiling was not injured. She had already developed an indestructible body of gold and steel.
"Fuck!" Chen Ze cursed, quickly got up and ran to Zhang Qiling.
At this time, Zhang Qiling's face was pale, his lips were purple, and his breathing was rapid, as if he was about to faint at any time.
"Zhang Qiling, Zhang Qiling..." Chen Ze quickly pushed Zhang Qiling to wake up.
"Help!" Before Chen Ze could wake up Zhang Qiling, he was surrounded by a wave of scorching heat. When Chen Ze looked up, he saw a ball of blazing flames sweeping towards Chen Ze.
Chen Ze quickly ran away. Although he didn't know why, Chen Ze knew that the farther away from the fire source, the safer it would be at this time.
But after running a few steps, Chen Ze lost his balance and fell to the ground again. Chen Ze quickly grabbed a plant next to him to stabilize his body.
Chen Ze turned around and saw that Zhang Qiling had disappeared in the flames.
"Zhang Qiling!" Chen Ze yelled sadly and angrily.
Zhang Qiling has turned into a fireball, and the color of the fireball is black, which is obviously beyond the scope of ordinary flames.
"Fuck..." Chen Ze cursed angrily, and then rushed towards the black flame.
Chen Ze threw himself at the fireball, trying to help Zhang Qiling extinguish the flames on his body. Unfortunately, the fire was so fierce that Chen Ze was unable to do anything for a moment.
"I'm sorry!" Chen Ze cursed crazily, but he still couldn't stop the fire from spreading.
"Boom~" A loud noise came from the ground.
Chen Ze was blown away.
Chen Ze was lying on the ground and saw the fire shooting into the sky.
Zhang Qiling turned into a fireball, floating beside Chen Ze.
Zhang Qiling was shocked when he saw this scene, "What's going on?"
"Don't worry about this, run away first." Chen Ze ignored his own pain and quickly picked up Zhang Qiling, who was still in a dazed state, and ran out of the cave.
The two returned along the original path.
"What happened just now?" Chen Ze asked.
"It should be that fiery red bead that worked." Zhang Qiling explained.
"Oh no, that bead is so powerful. Why didn't you tell me earlier? It made me die here with you!" Chen Ze yelled.
"I've never seen it before. Who knew this bead was so awesome and such a small thing could actually exert such great power!" Zhang Qiling was also extremely depressed.
"Fuck, what should we do now?" Chen Ze asked, pointing to the flaming cave in the distance.
"What else can we do? Let's eat it cold! Do you plan to stay and be buried with me? Are you willing to die?" Zhang Qiling asked with a smile.
"Get out!" Chen Ze glared at Zhang Qiling, then pulled Zhang Qiling away from this ghost place.
After leaving the cave, Chen Ze took Zhang Qiling to find a relatively hidden location to hide. Chen Ze took out a stone slab, flattened it with a knife, and built a simple temporary shelter.
"Damn, it's so cold!" Chen Ze said shivering while hiding under the stone slab. (End of chapter)
